If one of these PHYs are EEE\ncapable, we may try to enable EEE for the MACs, which then hangs the\nsystem on access of the (non-existent) EEE registers.\n\nFix this by checking if the switch actually supports EEE before\nattempting to configure it.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1237c2d4a8db79dfd4369bff6930b0e385ed7d5c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/155bc8f94d52c01c0952acee8156f05f26d81ef6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2dbccf1eb8c04b84ee3afdb1d6b787db02e7befc","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3fbe3f4c57fda09f32e13fa05f53a0cc6f500619"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-38272","score":0.00224,"percentile":0.12854,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
