CVE-2025-21858 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-64k-debug-modules-core.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-modules-core package and not the kernel-64k-debug-modules-core package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: Fix use-after-free in geneve_find_dev().
syzkaller reported a use-after-free in geneve_find_dev() [0] without repro.
geneve_configure() links struct geneve_dev.next to net_generic(net, geneve_net_id)->geneve_list.
The net here could differ from dev_net(dev) if IFLA_NET_NS_PID, IFLA_NET_NS_FD, or IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID is set.
When dev_net(dev) is dismantled, geneve_exit_batch_rtnl() finally calls unregister_netdevice_queue() for each dev in the netns, and later the dev is freed.
However, its geneve_dev.next is still linked to the backend UDP socket netns.
Then, use-after-free will occur when another geneve dev is created in the netns.
Let's call geneve_dellink() instead in geneve_destroy_tunnels().
