CVE-2025-39803
Linux Debian vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2025-39803 is a vulnerability discovered in the Linux kernel, specifically in the SCSI UFS core component. The issue was disclosed on September 15, 2025, affecting the UIC completion interrupt handling in the ufshcd_uic_cmd_compl() function. The vulnerability primarily impacts Linux kernel systems that utilize the UFS (Universal Flash Storage) subsystem (NVD, Debian Tracker).

Technical details

The vulnerability occurs when the UIC completion interrupt is disabled while a UIC command is being processed. Upon re-enabling the UIC completion interrupt, an UIC interrupt is triggered, causing a WARN_ON_ONCE(!cmd) statement to be hit. This issue was addressed by removing the kernel warning from the ufshcd_uic_cmd_compl() function (NVD, Debian Tracker).

Impact

The impact of this vulnerability appears to be limited to system logging and debugging functionality, as it primarily involves a kernel warning mechanism. The issue affects systems running vulnerable versions of the Linux kernel with UFS storage implementations (Debian Tracker).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been resolved through a kernel patch that removes the problematic WARN_ON_ONCE() call from the ufshcd_uic_cmd_compl() function. Various Linux distributions have incorporated the fix, including Debian's bullseye, bookworm, and trixie releases (Debian Tracker).
