CVE-2025-68382 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform a buffer overflow (CAPEC-100) via the NFS protocol dissector, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) through a reliable process crash when handling truncated XDR-encoded RPC messages.. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
