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-2025-68373 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-2025-68373/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68373/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68373","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68373/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68373","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-68373","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68373","GHSA-mh8g-8mjf-q9m9","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68373"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel md driver allows a local attacker to trigger a use-after-free, potentially causing a system crash or arbitrary code execution.","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\nmd: avoid repeated calls to del_gendisk\n\nThere is a uaf problem which is found by case 23rdev-lifetime:\n\nOops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122\nRIP: 0010:bdi_unregister+0x4b/0x170\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n __del_gendisk+0x356/0x3e0\n mddev_unlock+0x351/0x360\n rdev_attr_store+0x217/0x280\n kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x14a/0x210\n vfs_write+0x29e/0x550\n ksys_write+0x74/0xf0\n do_syscall_64+0xbb/0x380\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\nRIP: 0033:0x7ff5250a177e\n\nThe sequence is:\n1. rdev remove path gets reconfig_mutex\n2. rdev remove path release reconfig_mutex in mddev_unlock\n3. md stop calls do_md_stop and sets MD_DELETED\n4. rdev remove path calls del_gendisk because MD_DELETED is set\n5. md stop path release reconfig_mutex and calls del_gendisk again\n\nSo there is a race condition we should resolve.
