Overview

CVE-2025-68743 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 24, 2025.

Technical description

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

mshv: Fix create memory region overlap check

The current check is incorrect; it only checks if the beginning or end

of a region is within an existing region. This doesn't account for

userspace specifying a region that begins before and ends after an

existing region.

Change the logic to a range intersection check against gfns and uaddrs

for each region.

Remove mshv_partition_region_by_uaddr() as it is no longer used.

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.
