CVE-2025-21682

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to a null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's bnxt driver. This occurs when the XDP (eXpress Data Path) is detached, and the features are not recalculated, leading to a potential crash. The problem arises when the driver attempts to access a freed ring, resulting in a kernel NULL pointer dereference. The issue has been present since XDP support was added but did not cause major problems until a specific commit.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
