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-2025-68287 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-2025-68287/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68287/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68287","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68287/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68287","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-68287","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68287","GHSA-23wc-qh4p-pmrr","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-68287","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-68287","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-68287","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-68287","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68287"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel DWC3 USB driver allows local attackers to cause a system crash via use-after-free during concurrent USB request removal.","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\nusb: dwc3: Fix race condition between concurrent dwc3_remove_requests() call paths\n\nThis patch addresses a race condition caused by unsynchronized\nexecution of multiple call paths invoking `dwc3_remove_requests()`,\nleading to premature freeing of USB requests and subsequent crashes.\n\nThree distinct execution paths interact with `dwc3_remove_requests()`:\nPath 1:\nTriggered via `dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt()` during USB reset\nhandling.
