CVE-2025-40279 in Linux
Zusammenfassung
von MITRE • 07.12.2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: act_connmark: initialize struct tc_ife to fix kernel leak
In tcf_connmark_dump(), the variable 'opt' was partially initialized using a designatied initializer. While the padding bytes are reamined uninitialized. nla_put() copies the entire structure into a netlink message, these uninitialized bytes leaked to userspace.
Initialize the structure with memset before assigning its fields to ensure all members and padding are cleared prior to beign copied.
Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
