CVE-2025-21905 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Intel iwlwifi wireless driver. When printing a string from a firmware-file type-length-value (TLV) record, the driver does not ensure NUL termination or constrain the read to the record's length. An unterminated string can therefore cause reads beyond the TLV and, if the TLV is the final record, potentially beyond the firmware-file buffer. The issue was introduced in Linux 5.2 and is fixed by limiting the printed string to the available buffer size.
