CVE-2025-68744: Linux

EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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()'.

Affected products

• Linux Linux: from 6.4, before 6.6.120 (fixed in 6.6.120); from 6.7, before 6.12.63 (fixed in 6.12.63); from 6.13, before 6.17.13 (fixed in 6.17.13); from 6.18, before 6.18.2 (fixed in 6.18.2)
