    CVE-2025-37842 Can Panic Linux on NXP QuadSPI Devices

    CVE-2025-37842 is a Linux kernel availability flaw in the Freescale/NXP QuadSPI driver, not a broad Linux compromise—and the NVD record is not missing a CPE. NIST already maps the issue to generic Linux kernel CPE ranges, but that inventory data is much wider than the actual exposure: a system...
