Search: CVE-2025-71072

CVE-2025-71072 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the shmem subsystem's handling of rename failures under low-memory conditions. The issue involves improper recovery in functions simple_offset_rename() and simple_offset_rename_exchange() when maple_tree insertions fail due to memory shortages. The flaw could lead to inconsistent state changes during rename operations. The vulnerability has been fixed by ensuring preinsertion of targets into the tree to avoid failure after successful intermediate steps.
