Last modified
CVE-2025-38575 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: use aead_request_free to match aead_request_alloc Use aead_request_free() instead of kfree() to properly free memory allocated by aead_request_alloc(). This ensures sensitive crypto data is zeroed before being freed.. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
