CVE-2025-38129 is a use-after-free race in the Linux kernel page-pool subsystem's page_pool_recycle_in_ring function. While the final page is being recycled into the pointer ring, concurrent page_pool_release processing can empty the ring and destroy the page-pool object before the recycling operation finishes. The recycling path subsequently accesses freed ring state while releasing the producer lock; pool-statistics handling also occurs after that unlock. syzbot detected an eight-byte slab-use-after-free read in lock_release using KASAN. The fix synchronizes page-pool release with the producer lock to prevent destruction before recycling completes.

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's page_pool recycling code. A race condition allows the page pool to be freed before recycling of its last page finishes, causing subsequent access to freed memory. The fix adds a producer-lock barrier to prevent premature destruction. The reference assigns a CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 and recommends updating the Echo linux package and related packages to version 6.1.162-1 or later.
