This causes subsequent insertions at\nthe same index to return -EBUSY, potentially leading to\nNULL pointer dereferences.\n\nReorder the operations as suggested by Przemek Kitszel:\n1. Check if adapter already exists (xa_load)\n2. Reserve the XArray slot (xa_reserve)\n3. Allocate the adapter (ice_adapter_new)\n4. Store the adapter (xa_store)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2db687f3469dbc5c59bc53d55acafd75d530b497","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/794abb265de3e792167fe3ea0440c064c722bb84","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b9269de9815fc34d93dab90bd5169bacbe78e70"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-40185","score":0.00213,"percentile":0.11517,"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).
