CVE-2025-37796

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2025-37796 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's at76c50x Wi-Fi driver, specifically within the at76_disconnect function, affecting Linux kernel versions. This flaw occurs because the code attempts to access a freed memory object, potentially leading to system instability, information disclosure, or arbitrary code execution, and a memory leak of the USB device. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (High), it has a local attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Currently, there is no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and it is not listed on the KEV catalog, though it has garnered notable community discussion and media coverage.
