This avoids incorrect reassembly when packets are cloned, and\nprevents a memory leak due to circular references between fragments and\ntheir skb_shared_info.\n\nThe upcoming MCTP-over-USB driver uses skb_clone which can trigger the\nproblem - other MCTP drivers don't share SKBs.\n\nA kunit test is added to reproduce the issue.","affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"4a992bbd365094730a31bae1e12a6ca695336d57"},{"fixed":"5c47d5bfa7b096cf8890afac32141c578583f8e0"},{"fixed":"f44fff3d3c6cd67b6f348b821d73c4d6888c7a6e"},{"fixed":"f5d83cf0eeb90fade4d5c4d17d24b8bee9ceeecc"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-21972.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.15.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.20"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.13.8"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-21972.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5c47d5bfa7b096cf8890afac32141c578583f8e0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f44fff3d3c6cd67b6f348b821d73c4d6888c7a6e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f5d83cf0eeb90fade4d5c4d17d24b8bee9ceeecc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/21xxx/CVE-2025-21972.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-21972"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/21xxx/CVE-2025-21972.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
