CVE-2025-68250

CVE-2025-68250 affects the Linux kernel. The issue arises from an assumption that lock pointers are 4-byte aligned to use lower bits for type encoding, which fails on architectures with only 2-byte alignment (e.g., m68k). This causes two WARN_ON_ONCE checks to trigger in the hung_task blocker log...

CVE-2025-68250 hung_task: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hungtask: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers The blocker tracking mechanism assumes that lock pointers are at least 4-byte aligned to use their lower bits for type encoding. However, as reported by Eero Tamminen, some...
