CVE-2025-68192

9.8 · CRITICAL
Published Dec 16, 2025 EPSS 0.60% (46th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-68192 is a critical-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 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:

net: usb: qmi_wwan: initialize MAC header offset in qmimux_rx_fixup

Raw IP packets have no MAC header, leaving skb->mac_header uninitialized.

This can trigger kernel panics on ARM64 when xfrm or other subsystems

access the offset due to strict alignment checks.

Initialize the MAC header to prevent such crashes.

This can trigger kernel panics on ARM when running IPsec over the

qmimux0 interface.
