About this tag
CVE-2025-68327 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the Renesas USBHS driver (renesas_usbhs) that can cause a synchronous external abort, a hard kernel fault, when a specific gadget configuration sequence is followed and the driver is unbound. The issue is not remotely exploitable but can lead to immediate system instability on affected Renesas SoCs. A targeted fix has been merged that reorders clock shutdown to eliminate the race condition causing the abort. This tag covers discussions, analysis, and mitigation details for CVE-2025-68327, focusing on the kernel patch and its impact on Renesas hardware.
