CVE-2025-22101 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: libwx: fix Tx L4 checksum The hardware only supports L4 checksum offload for TCP/UDP/SCTP protocol. There was a bug to set Tx checksum flag for the other protocol that results in Tx ring hang. Fix to compute software checksum for these packets.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
