What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel by adding a null pointer check on the VF VSI pointer in ice_vc_add_fdir_fltr(). Users should update to the fixed kernel version containing the commit baeb705fd6a7 or later.
Description
CVE-2025-37912 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ice driver. It involves a missing null pointer check on the VF VSI pointer returned by ice_get_vf_vsi() in the function ice_vc_add_fdir_fltr(). This flaw could lead to a kernel crash (denial of service) if the pointer is null and subsequently dereferenced.
