CVE-2025-38614

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

Description: The Linux kernel contains a flaw within the eventpoll subsystem that could allow for semi-unbounded recursion. The issue stems from insufficient depth checks when creating graph edges between epoll instances. Current checks prevent deep recursion during loop detection but do not limit the overall depth of the resulting tree. This allows for potential recursion depths of at least 500, potentially impacting system stability.

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