CVE-2025-68200

/// Technical description

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

bpf: Add bpf_prog_run_data_pointers()

syzbot found that cls_bpf_classify() is able to change

tc_skb_cb(skb)->drop_reason triggering a warning in sk_skb_reason_drop().

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5965 at net/core/skbuff.c:1192 __sk_skb_reason_drop net/core/skbuff.c:1189 [inline]

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5965 at net/core/skbuff.c:1192 sk_skb_reason_drop+0x76/0x170 net/core/skbuff.c:1214

struct tc_skb_cb has been added in commit ec624fe740b4 ("net/sched:

Extend qdisc control block with tc control block"), which added a wrong

interaction with db58ba459202 ("bpf: wire in data and data_end for

cls_act_bpf").

drop_reason was added later.

Add bpf_prog_run_data_pointers() helper to save/restore the net_sched

storage colliding with BPF data_meta/data_end.

/// Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
