CVE-2025-37785 remediation guide

Linux Linux, SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix OOB read when checking dotdot dir Mounting a corrupted filesystem with directory which contains '.' dir entry with rec_len == block size results in out-of-bounds read (later on, when the corrupted directory is removed). ext4_empty_dir() assumes every ext4 directory contains at least '.' and '..' as directory entries in the first data block. It first loads the '.' dir entry, performs sanity checks by calling ext4_check_dir_entry() and then uses its rec_len member to compute the location of '..' dir entry (in ext4_n...

Identify the affected asset

Confirm whether Linux Linux, SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP is installed, record the deployed version and installation path, and identify exposed interfaces.

Record the product name, package or appliance identifier, and installed version.
Identify internet-facing, administrative, API, and internal access paths.
Preserve the pre-change configuration and relevant service logs.

Validate the affected-version match

Compare the deployed version with the affected range: >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < 14da7dbecb430e35b5889da8dae7bef33173b351, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < e47f472a664d70a3d104a6c2a035cdff55a719b4, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < b7531a4f99c3887439d778afaf418d1a01a5f01b, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < 89503e5eae64637d0fa2218912b54660effe7d93, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < 52a5509ab19a5d3afe301165d9b5787bba34d842, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < b47584c556444cf7acb66b26a62cbc348eb92b78, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < ac28c5684c1cdab650a7e5065b19e91577d37a4b, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < 53bc45da8d8da92ec07877f5922b130562eb4b00, >= ac27a0ec112a089f1a5102bc8dffc79c8c815571 < d5e206778e96e8667d3bde695ad372c296dc9353, >= 2.6.19, >= V3.1.6, >= 2.6.19 < 5.10.236, >= 5.11 < 5.15.180, >= 5.16 < 6.1.134, >= 6.2 < 6.6.87, >= 6.7 < 6.12.23, >= 6.13 < 6.13.11, >= 6.14 < 6.14.2. Treat incomplete inventory results as unresolved.

Prioritize with independent signals

The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review. Combine this signal with asset criticality, exposure, compensating controls, and business impact.

Apply supported remediation

Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path. Current fixed-version status: 5.10.236, 5.15.180, 6.1.134, 6.6.87, 6.12.23, 6.13.11, 6.14.2. Preserve configuration and rollback material before change.

Verify the result

Confirm the resulting version, service health, authentication and access paths, monitoring coverage, and relevant security logs.

Confirm the expected version and package state.
Run a functional health check for critical service paths.
Review authentication, error, application, and security monitoring logs.
Reassess exposure if the supported fix cannot be applied.

Operational boundary

This page does not replace the vendor advisory, support contract, change-management process, or recovery plan. Do not infer that an asset is unaffected from an incomplete inventory query or a missing fixed-version field.
