CVE-2025-68782

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI target subsystem. When memory allocation for the command descriptor block (CDB) buffer fails, the t_task_cdb pointer remains NULL but is subsequently dereferenced in the error handling path, potentially causing a kernel crash.

Exploitation requires memory pressure severe enough to fail a small allocation, followed by execution of the specific error path. This issue was identified through static analysis rather than real-world crash reports. The SCSI target subsystem is used primarily in storage server configurations.
