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-2025-68290 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-2025-68290/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68290/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68290","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68290/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68290","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-68290","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68290","GHSA-8hc7-qrvq-37hg","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-68290","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-68290","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-68290","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-68290","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68290"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A double free and use-after-free in the Linux kernel MOST USB driver allows local attackers to cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\nmost: usb: fix double free on late probe failure\n\nThe MOST subsystem has a non-standard registration function which frees\nthe interface on registration failures and on deregistration.\n\nThis unsurprisingly leads to bugs in the MOST drivers, and a couple of\nrecent changes turned a reference underflow and use-after-free in the\nUSB driver into several double free and a use-after-free on late probe\nfailures.","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":"most: usb: fix double free on late probe failure","id":"CVE-2025-68290","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"mptcp: Initialise rcv_mss before calling tcp_send_active_reset() in mptcp_do_fastclose().","id":"CVE-2025-68291"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"usb: gadget: f_eem: Fix memory leak in eem_unwrap","id":"CVE-2025-68289"},"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 double free and use-after-free in the Linux kernel MOST USB driver allows local attackers to cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68290/"}
