    CVE-2025-68740: Linux IMA Rule Match Bug and Attestation Impact

    CVE-2025-68740 exposes a logic error in the Linux kernel’s Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) that can cause false rule matches when LSM (Linux Security Module) rule objects become NULL — a subtle bug that leads IMA to measure extra files and could confuse attestation or appraisal...
