CVE-2025-40192: Linux

EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "ipmi: fix msg stack when IPMI is disconnected" This reverts commit c608966f3f9c2dca596967501d00753282b395fc. This patch has a subtle bug that can cause the IPMI driver to go into an infinite loop if the BMC misbehaves in a certain way. Apparently certain BMCs do misbehave this way because several reports have come in recently about this.

Affected products

• Linux Linux: from 6.2, before 6.6.113 (fixed in 6.6.113); from 6.7, before 6.12.54 (fixed in 6.12.54); from 6.13, before 6.17.4 (fixed in 6.17.4)
