CVE-2025-68761 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hfs: fix potential use after free in hfs_correct_next_unused_CNID() This code calls hfs_bnode_put(node) which drops the refcount and then dreferences "node" on the next line. It's only safe to use "node" when we're holding a reference so flip these two lines around.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
