Overview

CVE-2025-68744 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 24, 2025.

Technical description

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

bpf: Free special fields when update [lru_,]percpu_hash maps

As [lru_,]percpu_hash maps support BPF_KPTR_{REF,PERCPU}, missing

calls to 'bpf_obj_free_fields()' in 'pcpu_copy_value()' could cause the

memory referenced by BPF_KPTR_{REF,PERCPU} fields to be held until the

map gets freed.

Fix this by calling 'bpf_obj_free_fields()' after

'copy_map_value[,_long]()' in 'pcpu_copy_value()'.
