# CVE-2025-22105: bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode

> A missing check in the Linux kernel bonding driver allows a local attacker to trigger a kernel warning and potential crash by changing bond modes while an XDP program is attached.

- **Severity:** Medium 5.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 16 Apr 2025
- **Updated:** 15 Oct 2026
- **Also known as:** AZL-62642, AZL-69593, BELL-CVE-2025-22105, DEBIAN-CVE-2025-22105, GHSA-r4vm-3mc7-prgx, ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-22105, ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-22105, ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-22105, ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-22105, UBUNTU-CVE-2025-22105

## What is CVE-2025-22105?

CVE-2025-22105 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 16 Apr 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode

Following operations can trigger a warning[1]:

    ip netns add ns1
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-rr
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev bond0 xdp obj af_xdp_kern.o sec xdp
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link set bond0 type bond mode broadcast
    ip netns del ns1

When delete the namespace, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called to remove xdp
program on bond dev, and bond_xdp_set() will check the bond mode. If bond
mode is changed after attaching xdp program, the warning may occur.

Some bond modes (broadcast, etc.) do not support native xdp. Set bond mode
with xdp program attached is not good. Add check for xdp program when set
bond mode.

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2025-22105 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-22105 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 16 Apr 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-22105 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
