Last modified
CVE-2025-38541 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: Fix null-ptr-deref in mt7925_thermal_init() devm_kasprintf() returns NULL on error. Currently, mt7925_thermal_init() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference. Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
