CVE-2025-38151 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the RDMA/cma component that can lead to a userspace process hang (zombie process). This occurs when the cma_netevent_callback fails to queue a work item, preventing the necessary cma_id_put call and leaving the process in an unrecoverable state. The vulnerability affects various Debian and Linux kernel versions. Rated with a CVSS score of 5.5 (MEDIUM), this vulnerability has a local attack vector and low attack complexity, requiring local privileges but no user interaction. The primary impact is a high availability impact, as it can cause system instability and resource exhaustion due to hung processes. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, indicating a low level of public awareness or concern regarding this specific CVE.
