CVSS Release:
CVE-2025-68224: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: Fix a regression triggered by scsi_host_busy() Commit 995412e23bb2 ("blk-mq: Replace tags->lock with SRCU for tag iterators") introduced the following regression: Call trace: __srcu_read_lock+0x30/0x80 (P) blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter+0x44/0x300 scsi_host_busy+0x38/0x70 ufshcd_print_host_state+0x34/0x1bc ufshcd_link_startup.constprop.0+0xe4/0x2e0 ufshcd_init+0x944/0xf80 ufshcd_pltfrm_init+0x504/0x820 ufs_rockchip_probe+0x2c/0x88 platform_probe+0x5c/0xa4 really_probe+0xc0/0x38c __driver_probe_device+0x7c/0x150 driver_probe_device+0x40/0x120 __driver_attach+0xc8/0x1e0 bus_for_each_dev+0x7c/0xdc driver_attach+0x24/0x30 bus_add_driver+0x110/0x230 driver_register+0x68/0x130 __platform_driver_register+0x20/0x2c ufs_rockchip_pltform_init+0x1c/0x28 do_one_initcall+0x60/0x1e0 kernel_init_freeable+0x248/0x2c4 kernel_init+0x20/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Fix this regression by making scsi_host_busy() check whether the SCSI host tag set has already been initialized. tag_set->ops is set by scsi_mq_setup_tags() just before blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() is called. This fix is based on the assumption that scsi_host_busy() and scsi_mq_setup_tags() calls are serialized. This is the case in the UFS driver.
The exploitability of CVE-2025-68224 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).
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-68224.
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.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-68224, 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.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2025-68224, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
