CVE-2025-68260 is a race condition in the Linux kernel's Rust Binder implementation affecting handling of a node's death_list. The flaw arises from an unsafe list removal operation on NodeDeath objects that assumes an element is either in its owner's list or in no list at all. In practice, Node::release acquires the lock, moves all list items to a temporary local list, releases the lock, and then iterates that local list. While this is happening, another thread can invoke the unsafe remove operation against the original list state, causing concurrent manipulation of the same prev/next list pointers without proper synchronization. This breaks list integrity and results in memory corruption in kernel space. The issue was fixed by changing Node::release to pop items directly from the original list rather than moving them to a separate local list for later processing.
