CVE-2025-38037

Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: Annotate FDB data races The 'used' and 'updated' fields in the FDB entry structure can be accessed concurrently by multiple threads, leading to reports such as [1]. Can be reproduced using [2]. Suppress these reports by annotating these accesses using READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE().
