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-2025-21961 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-2025-21961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21961/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21961","record":{"aliases":["AZL-60302","BELL-CVE-2025-21961","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21961","GHSA-v974-f78x-v6pq","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-21961","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21961","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21961"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel network driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Incorrect truesize calculation in the bnxt network driver can cause kernel warnings and potential instability when XDP is enabled.","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":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\neth: bnxt: fix truesize for mb-xdp-pass case\n\nWhen mb-xdp is set and return is XDP_PASS, packet is converted from\nxdp_buff to sk_buff with xdp_update_skb_shared_info() in\nbnxt_xdp_build_skb().\nbnxt_xdp_build_skb() passes incorrect truesize argument to\nxdp_update_skb_shared_info().\nThe truesize is calculated as BNXT_RX_PAGE_SIZE * sinfo-\u003enr_frags but\nthe skb_shared_info was wiped by napi_build_skb() before.\nSo it stores sinfo-\u003enr_frags before bnxt_xdp_build_skb() and use it\ninstead of getting skb_shared_info from xdp_get_shared_info_from_buff().\n\nSplat looks like:\n ------------[ cut here ]------------\n WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at net/core/skbuff.c:6072 skb_try_coalesce+0x504/0x590\n Modules linked in: xt_nat xt_tcpudp veth af_packet xt_conntrack nft_chain_nat xt_MASQUERADE nf_conntrack_netlink xfrm_user xt_addrtype nft_coms\n CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Not tainted 6.14.0-rc2+ #3\n RIP: 0010:skb_try_coalesce+0x504/0x590\n Code: 4b fd ff ff 49 8b 34 24 40 80 e6 40 0f 84 3d fd ff ff 49 8b 74 24 48 40 f6 c6 01 0f 84 2e fd ff ff 48 8d 4e ff e9 25 fd ff ff \u003c0f\u003e 0b e99\n RSP: 0018:ffffb62c4120caa8 EFLAGS: 00010287\n RAX: 0000000000000003 RBX: ffffb62c4120cb14 RCX: 0000000000000ec0\n RDX: 0000000000001000 RSI: ffffa06e5d7dc000 RDI: 0000000000000003\n RBP: ffffa06e5d7ddec0 R08: ffffa06e6120a800 R09: ffffa06e7a119900\n R10: 0000000000002310 R11: ffffa06e5d7dcec0 R12: ffffe4360575f740\n R13: ffffe43600000000 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: 0000000000000002\n FS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffa0755f700000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n CR2: 00007f147b76b0f8 CR3: 00000001615d4000 CR4: 00000000007506f0\n PKRU: 55555554\n Call Trace:\n  \u003cIRQ\u003e\n  ?
