In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: add sysfs_attr_init() to count_clock init
The lock-related debug logic (CONFIG_LOCK_STAT) in the kernel is noting
the following warning when the BlueField-3 SOC is booted:
BUG: key ffff00008a3402a8 has not been registered!

The mlxbf_pmc driver must call sysfs_attr_init() during the
initialization of the "count_clock" data structure to avoid
this warning.

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-2025-40352? CVE-2025-40352 is a unknown-severity security vulnerability. No fixed version is listed yet.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-40352? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-40352 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-40352 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-40352 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-2025-40352 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.
