An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-21629 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21629/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21629/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21629","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21629/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21629","record":{"aliases":["AZL-68552","BELL-CVE-2025-21629","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21629","GHSA-qj58-65cx-j37v","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-21629","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-21629","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21629"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel networking","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A kernel bug causes excessive warnings and potential performance degradation for BIG TCP packets, requiring a patch to restore proper hardware offload handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: reenable NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM offload for BIG TCP packets\n\nThe blamed commit disabled hardware offoad of IPv6 packets with\nextension headers on devices that advertise NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM,\nbased on the definition of that feature in skbuff.h:\n\n *   * - %NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM\n *     - Driver (device) is only able to checksum plain\n *       TCP or UDP packets over IPv6.
