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-2025-68185 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2025-68185/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68185/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68185","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68185/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68185","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-68185","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68185","GHSA-6x57-w9x2-9hq7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-68185","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-68185","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-68185","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-68185","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68185"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel NFS client allows a local attacker to cause a system crash via insufficient locking during directory operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfs4_setup_readdir(): insufficient locking for -\u003ed_parent-\u003ed_inode dereferencing\n\nTheoretically it's an oopsable race, but I don't believe one can manage\nto hit it on real hardware; might become doable on a KVM, but it still\nwon't be easy to attack.\n\nAnyway, it's easy to deal with - since xdr_encode_hyper() is just a call of\nput_unaligned_be64(), we can put that under -\u003ed_lock and be done with that.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"nfs4_setup_readdir(): insufficient locking for -\u003ed_parent-\u003ed_inode dereferencing","id":"CVE-2025-68185","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"ring-buffer: Do not warn in ring_buffer_map_get_reader() when reader catches up","id":"CVE-2025-68186"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/mediatek: Disable AFBC support on Mediatek DRM driver","id":"CVE-2025-68184"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-16","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel NFS client allows a local attacker to cause a system crash via insufficient locking during directory operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68185/"}
