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-2025-68725 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2025-68725/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68725/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68725","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68725/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68725","record":{"aliases":["AZL-73117","AZL-78413","BELL-CVE-2025-68725","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68725","GHSA-696c-x544-xmc9","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-68725","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-68725","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68725"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel BPF","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel BPF test infrastructure allows triggering invalid GSO types, potentially causing warnings or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Do not let BPF test infra emit invalid GSO types to stack\n\nYinhao et al. reported that their fuzzer tool was able to trigger a\nskb_warn_bad_offload() from netif_skb_features() -\u003e gso_features_check().\nWhen a BPF program - triggered via BPF test infra - pushes the packet\nto the loopback device via bpf_clone_redirect() then mentioned offload\nwarning can be seen.
