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-2025-68192 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-2025-68192/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68192/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68192","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68192/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68192","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-68192","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68192","GHSA-cff9-qhwv-r7q7","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-68192","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-68192","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-68192","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-68192","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68192"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An uninitialized MAC header offset in the qmi_wwan driver causes kernel panics on ARM64 systems when processing IPsec traffic.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: usb: qmi_wwan: initialize MAC header offset in qmimux_rx_fixup\n\nRaw IP packets have no MAC header, leaving skb-\u003emac_header uninitialized.\nThis can trigger kernel panics on ARM64 when xfrm or other subsystems\naccess the offset due to strict alignment checks.\n\nInitialize the MAC header to prevent such crashes.\n\nThis can trigger kernel panics on ARM when running IPsec over the\nqmimux0 interface.\n\nExample trace:\n\n    Internal error: Oops: 000000009600004f [#1] SMP\n    CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.12.34-gbe78e49cb433 #1\n    Hardware name: LS1028A RDB Board (DT)\n    pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\n    pc : xfrm_input+0xde8/0x1318\n    lr : xfrm_input+0x61c/0x1318\n    sp : ffff800080003b20\n    Call trace:\n     xfrm_input+0xde8/0x1318\n     xfrm6_rcv+0x38/0x44\n     xfrm6_esp_rcv+0x48/0xa8\n     ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x94/0x4b0\n     ip6_input_finish+0x44/0x70\n     ip6_input+0x44/0xc0\n     ipv6_rcv+0x6c/0x114\n     __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x5c/0x8c\n     __netif_receive_skb+0x18/0x60\n     process_backlog+0x78/0x17c\n     __napi_poll+0x38/0x180\n     net_rx_action+0x168/0x2f0","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":"net: usb: qmi_wwan: initialize MAC header offset in qmimux_rx_fixup","id":"CVE-2025-68192","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"drm/xe/guc: Add devm release action to safely tear down CT","id":"CVE-2025-68193"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"udp_tunnel: use netdev_warn() instead of netdev_WARN()","id":"CVE-2025-68191"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"An uninitialized MAC header offset in the qmi_wwan driver causes kernel panics on ARM64 systems when processing IPsec traffic.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68192/"}
