This will cause the incoming call to be aborted.","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/0eef29385d715d4c7fd707b18d4a9b76c76dd5e6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2c2e9ebeb036f9b1b09325ec5cfdfe0e78f357c3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/880a88f318cf1d2a0f4c0a7ff7b07e2062b434a4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf0ca6a1bc4fb904b598137c6718785a107e3adf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d1ff5f9d2c5405681457262e23c720b08977c11f"],"products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:06:45.861874017+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-38514","score":0.00369,"percentile":0.30515,"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).
