In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/i10nm: Skip DIMM enumeration on a disabled memory controller
When loading the i10nm_edac driver on some Intel Granite Rapids servers,
a call trace may appear as follows:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/edac/skx_common.c:453:16
shift exponent -66 is negative
...
__ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x1e3/0x390
skx_get_dimm_info.cold+0x47/0xd40 [skx_edac_common]
i10nm_get_dimm_config+0x23e/0x390 [i10nm_edac]
skx_register_mci+0x159/0x220 [skx_edac_common]
i10nm_init+0xcb0/0x1ff0 [i10nm_edac]
...
This occurs because some BIOS may disable a memory controller if there
aren't any memory DIMMs populated on this memory controller. The DIMMMTR
register of this disabled memory controller contains the invalid value
~0, resulting in the call trace above.
Fix this call trace by skipping DIMM enumeration on a disabled memory
controller.

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-2025-40157? CVE-2025-40157 is a unknown-severity security vulnerability. No fixed version is listed yet.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-40157? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-40157 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-40157 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-40157 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-2025-40157 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.
