CVE-2025-68761

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

Description A flaw exists in the Linux kernel related to a potential use-after-free condition within the hfs correct next unused CNID() function. The issue arises from the order of operations where a reference count is dropped via hfs bnode put(node) before the node is dereferenced. This sequence is unsafe as it allows access to the node without a valid reference.

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