CVE-2025-68797

CVSS v2.0

4.6

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A flaw exists in the ac ioctl function within the Linux kernel. Specifically, validation of the IndexCard and a check for a valid RamIO pointer are bypassed when the command (cmd) is 6. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when the function attempts to read from memory at apbs[IndexCard].RamIO + VERS if RamIO is NULL. The issue occurs because the read operation is unconditionally executed even when cmd is 6, which is a global information query and does not require a specific board context.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
