CVE-2025-68241

Estado: AplazadaAlta (7.5)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: route: Prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnhe

The sit driver's packet transmission path calls: sit_tunnel_xmit() -> update_or_create_fnhe(), which lead to fnhe_remove_oldest() being called to delete entries exceeding FNHE_RECLAIM_DEPTH+random.

The race window is between fnhe_remove_oldest() selecting fnheX for deletion and the subsequent kfree_rcu(). During this time, the concurrent path's __mkroute_output() -> find_exception() can fetch the soon-to-be-deleted fnheX, and rt_bind_exception() then binds it with a new dst using a dst_hold(). When the original fnheX is freed via RCU, the dst reference remains permanently leaked.

This issue manifests as a device reference count leak and a warning in dmesg when unregistering the net device:

Ido Schimmel provided the simple test validation method [1].

The fix clears 'oldest->fnhe_daddr' before calling fnhe_flush_routes(). Since rt_bind_exception() checks this field, setting it to zero prevents the stale fnhe from being reused and bound to a new dst just before it is freed.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Acceso remoto en red sin autenticación (AV:N/PR:N), pero impacto es denegación de servicio por agotamiento de recursos (leak de referencias causa espera indefinida en unregister_netdevice). Es una vulnerabilidad de kernel en ruta IPv4, no típicamente explotable sin contexto específico.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.

      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv4: route: Prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnhe\n\nThe sit driver's packet transmission path calls: sit_tunnel_xmit() ->\nupdate_or_create_fnhe(), which lead to fnhe_remove_oldest() being called\nto delete entries exceeding FNHE_RECLAIM_DEPTH+random.\n\nThe race window is between fnhe_remove_oldest() selecting fnheX for\ndeletion and the subsequent kfree_rcu(). During this time, the\nconcurrent path's __mkroute_output() -> find_exception() can fetch the\nsoon-to-be-deleted fnheX, and rt_bind_exception() then binds it with a\nnew dst using a dst_hold(). When the original fnheX is freed via RCU,\nthe dst reference remains permanently leaked.\n\nCPU 0                             CPU 1\n__mkroute_output()\n  find_exception() [fnheX]\n                                  update_or_create_fnhe()\n                                    fnhe_remove_oldest() [fnheX]\n  rt_bind_exception() [bind dst]\n                                  RCU callback [fnheX freed, dst leak]\n\nThis issue manifests as a device reference count leak and a warning in\ndmesg when unregistering the net device:\n\n  unregister_netdevice: waiting for sitX to become free. Usage count = N\n\nIdo Schimmel provided the simple test validation method [1].\n\nThe fix clears 'oldest->fnhe_daddr' before calling fnhe_flush_routes().\nSince rt_bind_exception() checks this field, setting it to zero prevents\nthe stale fnhe from being reused and bound to a new dst just before it\nis freed.\n\n[1]\nip netns add ns1\nip -n ns1 link set dev lo up\nip -n ns1 address add 192.0.2.1/32 dev lo\nip -n ns1 link add name dummy1 up type dummy\nip -n ns1 route add 192.0.2.2/32 dev dummy1\nip -n ns1 link add name gretap1 up arp off type gretap \\\n    local 192.0.2.1 remote 192.0.2.2\nip -n ns1 route add 198.51.0.0/16 dev gretap1\ntaskset -c 0 ip netns exec ns1 mausezahn gretap1 \\\n    -A 198.51.100.1 -B 198.51.0.0/16 -t udp -p 1000 -c 0 -q &\ntaskset -c 2 ip netns exec ns1 mausezahn gretap1 \\\n    -A 198.51.100.1 -B 198.51.0.0/16 -t udp -p 1000 -c 0 -q &\nsleep 10\nip netns pids ns1 | xargs kill\nip netns del ns1"
