Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2025-38298
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description:**
A general protection fault may occur in the Linux kernel when loading and unloading the `i10nm edac` module, which automatically loads `skx edac common`. This issue arises because the `adxl component count` variable within `skx edac common`, responsible for tracking ADXL components, is not reset during module unloading and reloading. This leads to a doubled count of ADXL components, resulting in an out-of-bounds reference to the ADXL component array and a subsequent general protection fault. The fault is triggered during error injection testing after reloading the module.
**Recommendations:**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
