      <title>CVE-2025-68262 — crypto: zstd - fix double-free in per-CPU stream cleanup</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-68262</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;crypto: zstd - fix double-free in per-CPU stream cleanup&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The crypto/zstd module has a double-free bug that occurs when multiple
tfms are allocated and freed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The issue happens because zstd_streams (per-CPU contexts) are freed in
zstd_exit() during every tfm destruction, rather than being managed at
the module level.  When multiple tfms exist, each tfm exit attempts to
free the same shared per-CPU streams, resulting in a double-free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This leads to a stack trace similar to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/u16:1  pfn:106fd93
