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-2025-21867 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-2025-21867/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21867/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21867","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21867/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21867","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-21867","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21867","GHSA-g779-v36v-3w99","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21867","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21867"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's BPF test_run component allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf, test_run: Fix use-after-free issue in eth_skb_pkt_type()\n\nKMSAN reported a use-after-free issue in eth_skb_pkt_type()[1]. The\ncause of the issue was that eth_skb_pkt_type() accessed skb's data\nthat didn't contain an Ethernet header. This occurs when\nbpf_prog_test_run_xdp() passes an invalid value as the user_data\nargument to bpf_test_init().\n\nFix this by returning an error when user_data is less than ETH_HLEN in\nbpf_test_init().
