CVE-2025-21925 MEDIUM

Published: 2025-04-01 | Last Modified: 2026-07-14 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: llc: do not use skb_get() before dev_queue_xmit() syzbot is able to crash hosts [1], using llc and devices not supporting IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING. In this case, e1000 driver calls eth_skb_pad(), while the skb is shared. Simply replace skb_get() by skb_clone() in net/llc/llc_s_ac.c Note that e1000 driver might have an issue with pktgen, because it does not clear IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING, this is an orthogonal change. We need to audit other skb_get() uses in net/llc. [1] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2178 !

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: llc: no usar skb_get() antes de dev_queue_xmit(). syzbot puede bloquear hosts [1], usando llc y dispositivos que no admiten IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING. En este caso, el controlador e1000 llama a eth_skb_pad() mientras el skb está compartido. Simplemente reemplace skb_get() por skb_clone() en net/llc/llc_s_ac.c. Tenga en cuenta que el controlador e1000 podría tener un problema con pktgen, ya que no borra IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING; este es un cambio ortogonal. Necesitamos auditar otros usos de skb_get() en net/llc.
