CVE-2025-68302
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sxgbe: fix potential NULL dereference in sxgbe_rx()
Currently, when skb is null, the driver prints an error and then dereferences skb on the next line.
To fix this, let's add a 'break' after the error message to switch to sxgbe_rx_refill(), which is similar to the approach taken by the other drivers in this particular case, e.g. calxeda with xgmac_rx().
Found during a code review.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.46%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 37
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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.

T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact60 %
AV:N/PR:N sin UI sugiere red sin privilegios (T1190), pero el defecto es NULL dereference en driver de red que causa DoS. Confianza baja en explotación: requiere condiciones específicas de paquete malformado.
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.
