Overview

CVE-2025-68737 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 24, 2025.

Technical description

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

arm64/pageattr: Propagate return value from __change_memory_common

The rodata=on security measure requires that any code path which does

vmalloc -> set_memory_ro/set_memory_rox must protect the linear map alias

too. Therefore, if such a call fails, we must abort set_memory_* and caller

must take appropriate action; currently we are suppressing the error, and

there is a real chance of such an error arising post commit a166563e7ec3

("arm64: mm: support large block mapping when rodata=full"). Therefore,

propagate any error to the caller.

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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-68737?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2025-68737 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
