Overview

CVE-2025-68187 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 16, 2025.

Technical description

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

net: mdio: Check regmap pointer returned by device_node_to_regmap()

The call to device_node_to_regmap() in airoha_mdio_probe() can return

an ERR_PTR() if regmap initialization fails. Currently, the driver

stores the pointer without validation, which could lead to a crash

if it is later dereferenced.

Add an IS_ERR() check and return the corresponding error code to make

the probe path more robust.
