In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm80xx: Fix array-index-out-of-of-bounds on rmmod
Since commit f7b705c238d1 ("scsi: pm80xx: Set phy_attached to zero when
device is gone") UBSAN reports:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_sas.c:786:17
index 28 is out of range for type 'pm8001_phy [16]'
on rmmod when using an expander.
For a direct attached device, attached_phy contains the local phy id.
For a device behind an expander, attached_phy contains the remote phy
id, not the local phy id.
I.e. while pm8001_ha will have pm8001_ha->chip->n_phy local phys, for a
device behind an expander, attached_phy can be much larger than
pm8001_ha->chip->n_phy (depending on the amount of phys of the
expander).
E.g. on my system pm8001_ha has 8 phys with phy ids 0-7. One of the
ports has an expander connected. The expander has 31 phys with phy ids
0-30.
The pm8001_ha->phy array only contains the phys of the HBA. It does not
contain the phys of the expander. Thus, it is wrong to use attached_phy
to index the pm8001_ha->phy array for a device behind an expander.
Thus, we can only clear phy_attached for devices that are directly
attached.
Impact
CVE-2025-40118 has a CVSS score of 7.8 (High). 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-2025-40118? CVE-2025-40118 is a high-severity security vulnerability. No fixed version is listed yet.
- How severe is CVE-2025-40118? CVE-2025-40118 has a CVSS score of 7.8 (High). 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-2025-40118? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-40118 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-40118 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-40118 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-2025-40118 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.
