In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mctp: unshare packets when reassembling
Ensure that the frag_list used for reassembly isn't shared with other
packets. This avoids incorrect reassembly when packets are cloned, and
prevents a memory leak due to circular references between fragments and
their skb_shared_info.
The upcoming MCTP-over-USB driver uses skb_clone which can trigger the
problem - other MCTP drivers don't share SKBs.
A kunit test is added to reproduce the issue.

CVE-2025-21972 [MEDIUM] CWE-401 net: mctp: unshare packets when reassembling
net: mctp: unshare packets when reassembling
FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

CVE-2025-21972 [MEDIUM] kernel: net: mctp: unshare packets when reassembling
kernel: net: mctp: unshare packets when reassembling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mctp: unshare packets when reassembling
Ensure that the frag_list used for reassembly isn't shared with other
packets. This avoids incorrect reassembly when packets are cloned, and
prevents a memory leak due to circular references between fragments and
their skb_shared_info.
The upcoming MCTP-over-USB driver uses skb_clone which can trigger the
problem - other MCTP drivers don't share SKBs.
A kunit test is added to reproduce the issue.
