Vulnerability identifier: #VU118438

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-40136

CWE-ID: CWE-399

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to resource management error within the hisi_qm_reset_done(), qm_unregister_abnormal_irq(), qm_register_abnormal_irq() and hisi_qm_pci_init() functions in drivers/crypto/hisilicon/qm.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
