Linux Kernel vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2025-37935 is a vulnerability discovered in the Linux kernel affecting the MediaTek Ethernet SoC (mtk_eth_soc) component. The vulnerability was disclosed on May 20, 2025, specifically impacting systems with 4GB+ RAM configurations (NVD CVE, Wiz Report).
Technical details
The vulnerability occurs when the mtk_poll_rx() function detects the MTK_RESETTING flag, causing it to jump to release_desc and refill the high word of the SDP on the 4GB RFB. Subsequently, mtk_rx_clean processes an incorrect SDP, which ultimately results in a system panic (NVD CVE, Wiz Report).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability leads to a system panic in affected Linux systems, potentially causing system instability and denial of service conditions (Wiz Report).
Mitigation and workarounds
A patch has been provided through MediaTek's SDK to resolve this vulnerability. System administrators are advised to apply the available kernel patches to address this issue (Wiz Report).
