CVE-2025-68369 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-68369: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs3: init run lock for extend inode After setting the inode mode of $Extend to a regular file, executing the truncate system call will enter the do_truncate() routine, causing the run_lock uninitialized error reported by syzbot. Prior to patch 4e8011ffec79, if the inode mode of $Extend was not set to a regular file, the do_truncate() routine would not be entered. Add the run_lock initialization when loading $Extend. syzbot reported: INFO: trying to register non-static key. Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x189/0x250 lib/dump_stack.c:120 assign_lock_key+0x133/0x150 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:984 register_lock_class+0x105/0x320 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1299 __lock_acquire+0x99/0xd20 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5112 lock_acquire+0x120/0x360 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5868 down_write+0x96/0x1f0 kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1590 ntfs_set_size+0x140/0x200 fs/ntfs3/inode.c:860 ntfs_extend+0x1d9/0x970 fs/ntfs3/file.c:387 ntfs_setattr+0x2e8/0xbe0 fs/ntfs3/file.c:808

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-68369

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-68369 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2025-68369

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-68369.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-68369, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
