CVE-2025-38540

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: The Linux kernel contains a flaw related to Human Interface Device (HID) sensors. Specifically, Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras (USB ID 04F2:B824 & 04F2:B82C) report a non-functional sensor interface. Accessing this interface via iio info can cause system hangs as runtime power management attempts to wake up an unresponsive sensor. The issue arises from attempting to access a sensor interface that is not actually implemented.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
