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-2025-68253 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-2025-68253/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68253/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68253","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68253/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68253","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-68253","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68253","GHSA-v2rp-vw7g-7xqw","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68253"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can cause a denial of service by triggering a spin loop in the Linux kernel's page owner tracking when specific allocation contexts are used.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\nmm: don't spin in add_stack_record when gfp flags don't allow\n\nsyzbot was able to find the following path:\n  add_stack_record_to_list mm/page_owner.c:182 [inline]\n  inc_stack_record_count mm/page_owner.c:214 [inline]\n  __set_page_owner+0x2c3/0x4a0 mm/page_owner.c:333\n  set_page_owner include/linux/page_owner.h:32 [inline]\n  post_alloc_hook+0x240/0x2a0 mm/page_alloc.c:1851\n  prep_new_page mm/page_alloc.c:1859 [inline]\n  get_page_from_freelist+0x21e4/0x22c0 mm/page_alloc.c:3858\n  alloc_pages_nolock_noprof+0x94/0x120 mm/page_alloc.c:7554\n\nDon't spin in add_stack_record_to_list() when it is called\nfrom *_nolock() context.","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":"mm: don't spin in add_stack_record when gfp flags don't allow","id":"CVE-2025-68253","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in OnBeacon ESR IE parsing","id":"CVE-2025-68254"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"misc: fastrpc: Fix dma_buf object leak in fastrpc_map_lookup","id":"CVE-2025-68252"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker can cause a denial of service by triggering a spin loop in the Linux kernel's page owner tracking when specific allocation contexts are used.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68253/"}
