arm64: dts: qcom: qcs615: fix a crash issue caused by infinite loop for Coresight
An infinite loop has been created by the Coresight devices. When only a
source device is enabled, the coresight_find_activated_sysfs_sink function
is recursively invoked in an attempt to locate an active sink device,
ultimately leading to a stack overflow and system crash. Therefore, disable
the replicator1 to break the infinite loop and prevent a potential stack
overflow.

Impact
CVE-2025-38649 has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). The vector is requires local access, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-38649? CVE-2025-38649 is a medium-severity security vulnerability. No fixed version is listed yet.
- How severe is CVE-2025-38649? CVE-2025-38649 has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-38649? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-38649 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-38649 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-38649 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-38649 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
