UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68363: Low severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Check skb->transportheader is set in bpfskbcheckmtu The bpfskbcheckmtu helper needs to use skb->transportheader when the BPFMTUCHKSEGS flag is used: bpfskbcheckmtu(skb, ifindex, &mtulen, 0, BPFMTUCHKSEGS) The transportheader is not always set. There is a WARNONONCE report when CONFIGDEBUGNET is enabled + skb->gsosize is set + bpfprogtestrun is used: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2216 at ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3071 skbgsovalidatenetworklen bpfskbcheckmtu bpfprog3920e25740a41171tcchksegsflag # A test in the next patch bpftestrun bpfprogtestrunskb For a normal ingress skb (not testrun), skbresettransportheader is performed but there is plan to avoid setting it as described in commit 2170a1f09148 ("net: no longer reset transportheader in netifreceiveskbcore()"). This patch fixes the bpf helper by checking skbtransportheaderwasset(). The check is done just before skb->transportheader is used, to avoid breaking the existing bpf prog. The WARNONONCE is limited to bpfprogtestrun, so targeting bpf-next.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions are required to trigger the reported warning?
The reported WARN_ON_ONCE requires CONFIG_DEBUG_NET to be enabled, skb->gso_size to be set, and use of bpf_prog_test_run. It occurs when the BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS flag causes bpf_skb_check_mtu to use an unset transport header.
Are normal ingress packets affected in the same way as bpf_prog_test_run?
The report is limited to bpf_prog_test_run. Normal ingress skb processing currently resets the transport header, although the description notes a plan to stop doing so.
Which Ubuntu kernel packages are identified as affected?
The listed software includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-riscv, ubuntu/linux-gke, and ubuntu/linux-gkeop.
