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-2025-21865 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-2025-21865/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21865/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21865","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21865/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21865","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-21865","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21865","GHSA-55m7-vg72-9vx3","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-21865","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21865"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel GTP module","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A double-free logic error in the Linux kernel GTP module causes list corruption and kernel crashes during network namespace cleanup.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ngtp: Suppress list corruption splat in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl().\n\nBrad Spengler reported the list_del() corruption splat in\ngtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl(). [0]\n\nCommit eb28fd76c0a0 (\"gtp: Destroy device along with udp socket's netns\ndismantle.\") added the for_each_netdev() loop in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl()\nto destroy devices in each netns as done in geneve and ip tunnels.\n\nHowever, this could trigger -\u003edellink() twice for the same device during\n-\u003eexit_batch_rtnl().\n\nSay we have two netns A \u0026 B and gtp device B that resides in netns B but\nwhose UDP socket is in netns A.\n\n  1. cleanup_net() processes netns A and then B.\n\n  2. gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() finds the device B while iterating\n     netns A's gn-\u003egtp_dev_list and calls -\u003edellink().\n\n  [ device B is not yet unlinked from netns B\n    as unregister_netdevice_many() has not been called. ]\n\n  3. gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() finds the device B while iterating\n     netns B's for_each_netdev() and calls -\u003edellink().\n\ngtp_dellink() cleans up the device's hash table, unlinks the dev from\ngn-\u003egtp_dev_list, and calls unregister_netdevice_queue().\n\nBasically, calling gtp_dellink() multiple times is fine unless\nCONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled.\n\nLet's remove for_each_netdev() in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() and\ndelegate the destruction to default_device_exit_batch() as done\nin bareudp.\n\n[0]:\nlist_del corruption, ffff8880aaa62c00-\u003enext
