It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-21712 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-2025-21712/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21712/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21712","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21712/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21712","record":{"aliases":["AZL-68763","BELL-CVE-2025-21712","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21712","GHSA-vq63-h845-wgm6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-21712","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-21712","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21712","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21712"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can crash the Linux kernel by triggering a null pointer dereference in the md bitmap subsystem during status reads.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmd/md-bitmap: Synchronize bitmap_get_stats() with bitmap lifetime\n\nAfter commit ec6bb299c7c3 (\"md/md-bitmap: add 'sync_size' into struct\nmd_bitmap_stats\"), following panic is reported:\n\nOops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\nRIP: 0010:bitmap_get_stats+0x2b/0xa0\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n md_seq_show+0x2d2/0x5b0\n seq_read_iter+0x2b9/0x470\n seq_read+0x12f/0x180\n proc_reg_read+0x57/0xb0\n vfs_read+0xf6/0x380\n ksys_read+0x6c/0xf0\n do_syscall_64+0x82/0x170\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n\nRoot cause is that bitmap_get_stats() can be called at anytime if mddev\nis still there, even if bitmap is destroyed, or not fully initialized.\nDeferenceing bitmap in this case can crash the kernel.
