Linux Kernel Rust Component Hit by Vulnerability Causing System Crashes
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2025 2:56 pm
A critical new security vulnerability has been uncovered in the Linux kernel’s Rust Binder module, presenting a significant risk to system stability.
The flaw, officially tracked as CVE-2025-68260, is a “race condition” that can lead to severe memory corruption and immediate system crashes.
This discovery is particularly notable because it affects the kernel’s modern Rust components, specifically within the inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism known as Binder.
