CVE-2025-22050
Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:
16/04/2025
Last modified:

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usbnet:fix NPE during rx_complete<br />
<br />
Missing usbnet_going_away Check in Critical Path.<br />
The usb_submit_urb function lacks a usbnet_going_away<br />
validation, whereas __usbnet_queue_skb includes this check.<br />
<br />
This inconsistency creates a race condition where:<br />
A URB request may succeed, but the corresponding SKB data<br />
fails to be queued.<br />
<br />
Subsequent processes:<br />
(e.g., rx_complete → defer_bh → __skb_unlink(skb, list))<br />
attempt to access skb->next, triggering a NULL pointer<br />
dereference (Kernel Panic).
