CVE-2025-22110

9.8 · CRITICAL
Published Apr 16, 2025 linux CWE-908 EPSS 0.36% (29th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-22110 is a critical-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 16, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: Initialize ctx to avoid memory allocation error

It is possible that ctx in nfqnl_build_packet_message() could be used

before it is properly initialize, which is only initialized

by nfqnl_get_sk_secctx().

This patch corrects this problem by initializing the lsmctx to a safe

value when it is declared.

This is similar to the commit 35fcac7a7c25

("audit: Initialize lsmctx to avoid memory allocation error").

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
