We do not bring the buffer uptodate before setting it as\nuptodate. If the buffer were to not be uptodate, it could mean adding a\nbuffer with un-init data to the mi record. Attempting to load that record\nwill trigger KMSAN.\n\nAvoid this by setting the buffer as uptodate, if it’s not already, by\noverwriting it.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46f2a881e5a7311d41551edb3915e4d4e8802341","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73e6b9dacf72a1e7a4265eacca46f8f33e0997d6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ce8f2028dfccb2161b905cf8ab85cdd9e93909c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81ffe9a265df3e41534726b852ab08792e3d374d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bf729b96303bb862d7c6dc05edcf51274ae04cf"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-68728","score":0.00193,"percentile":0.08917,"date":"2026-10-26"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
