An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-68775 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-2025-68775/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68775/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68775","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68775/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68775","record":{"aliases":["AZL-74456","BELL-CVE-2025-68775","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68775","GHSA-jpgq-r68h-x9q2","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-68775","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68775"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Duplicate handshake cancellations in the Linux kernel cause a socket reference count underflow, leading to resource leaks and potential denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-662","name":"Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/handshake: duplicate handshake cancellations leak socket\n\nWhen a handshake request is cancelled it is removed from the\nhandshake_net-\u003ehn_requests list, but it is still present in the\nhandshake_rhashtbl until it is destroyed.\n\nIf a second cancellation request arrives for the same handshake request,\nthen remove_pending() will return false... and assuming\nHANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED isn't set in req-\u003ehr_flags, we'll continue\nprocessing through the out_true label, where we put another reference on\nthe sock and a refcount underflow occurs.\n\nThis can happen for example if a handshake times out - particularly if\nthe SUNRPC client sends the AUTH_TLS probe to the server but doesn't\nfollow it up with the ClientHello due to a problem with tlshd.
