The vulnerability of the be_cmd_read_port_transceiver_data() function in the drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_cmds.c module of the Linux kernel’s Ethernet adapter support driver allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the becmdreadporttransceiverdata function in the drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/becmds.c file, a driver for supporting Ethernet network adapters in the Linux operating system, stems from the copying of buffers without checking the size of the input data a classic buffer...

CVE-2025-38569

CVE-2025-38569 (Linux kernel benet) arises from a bug in the be2net SR-IOV VF MAC address configuration flow where be_cmd_set_mac_list() calls dma_free_coherent() while still under spin_lock_bh, leading to a kernel crash (BUG at mm/vmalloc.c and OOPs) when SR-IOV VFs are created. The linked advis...
