{"id":"AZL-59901","summary":"CVE-2025-21980 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.85.1-2","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsched: address a potential NULL pointer dereference in the GRED scheduler.\n\nIf kzalloc in gred_init returns a NULL pointer, the code follows the\nerror handling path, invoking gred_destroy. This, in turn, calls\ngred_offload, where memset could receive a NULL pointer as input,\npotentially leading to a kernel crash.\n\nWhen table-\u003eopt is NULL in gred_init(), gred_change_table_def()\nis not called yet, so it is not necessary to call -\u003endo_setup_tc()\nin gred_offload().","modified":"2026-04-01T05:19:33.659131Z","published":"2025-04-01T16:15:29Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-21980"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-21980"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.85.1-2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-59901.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
