Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In January 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: gpio-charger: Fix set charge current limits
Fix set charge current limits for devices which allow to set the lowest
charge current limit to be greater zero. If requested charge current limit
is below lowest limit, the index equals current_limit_map_size which leads
to accessing memory beyond allocated memory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virt: tdx-guest: Just leak decrypted memory on unrecoverable errors
In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an error is returned
and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to take care
to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional
or security issues.
Leak the decrypted memory when set_memory_decrypted() fails,
and don't need to print an error since set_memory_decrypted()
will call WARN_ONCE().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/dp_mst: Ensure mst_primary pointer is valid in drm_dp_mst_handle_up_req()
While receiving an MST up request message from one thread in
drm_dp_mst_handle_up_req(), the MST topology could be removed from
another thread via drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_set_mst(false), freeing
mst_primary and setting drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr::mst_primary to NULL.
This could lead to a NULL deref/use-after-free of mst_primary in
drm_dp_mst_handle_up_req().
Avoid the above by holding a reference for mst_primary in
drm_dp_mst_handle_up_req() while it's used.
v2: Fix kfreeing the request if getting an mst_primary reference fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: rockchip: samsung-hdptx: Set drvdata before enabling runtime PM
In some cases, rk_hdptx_phy_runtime_resume() may be invoked before
platform_set_drvdata() is executed in ->probe(), leading to a NULL
pointer dereference when using the return of dev_get_drvdata().
Ensure platform_set_drvdata() is called before devm_pm_runtime_enable().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Play nice with protected guests in complete_hypercall_exit()
Use is_64_bit_hypercall() instead of is_64_bit_mode() to detect a 64-bit
hypercall when completing said hypercall. For guests with protected state,
e.g. SEV-ES and SEV-SNP, KVM must assume the hypercall was made in 64-bit
mode as the vCPU state needed to detect 64-bit mode is unavailable.
Hacking the sev_smoke_test selftest to generate a KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE
hypercall via VMGEXIT trips the WARN:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Drivers: hv: util: Avoid accessing a ringbuffer not initialized yet
If the KVP (or VSS) daemon starts before the VMBus channel's ringbuffer is
fully initialized, we can hit the panic below:
hv_utils: Registering HyperV Utility Driver
hv_vmbus: registering driver hv_utils
...
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
CPU: 44 UID: 0 PID: 2552 Comm: hv_kvp_daemon Tainted: G E 6.11.0-rc3+ #1
RIP: 0010:hv_pkt_iter_first+0x12/0xd0

<TASK>

...
kvp_register_done
hvt_op_read
vfs_read
ksys_read
__x64_sys_read
This can happen because the KVP/VSS channel callback can be invoked
even before the channel is fully opened:
1) as soon as hv_kvp_init() -> hvutil_transport_init() creates
/dev/vmbus/hv_kvp, the kvp daemon can open the device file immediately and
register itself to the driver by writing a message KVP_OP_REGISTER1 to the
file (which is handled by kvp_on_msg() ->kvp_handle_handshake()) and
reading the file for the driver's response, which is handled by
hvt_op_read(), which calls hvt->on_read(), i.e. kvp_register_done().
2) the problem with kvp_register_done() is that it can cause the
channel callback to be called even before the channel is fully opened,
and when the channel callback is starting to run, util_probe()->
vmbus_open() may have not initialized the ringbuffer yet, so the
callback can hit the panic of NULL pointer dereference.
To reproduce the panic consistently, we can add a "ssleep(10)" for KVP in
__vmbus_open(), just before the first hv_ringbuffer_init(), and then we
unload and reload the driver hv_utils, and run the daemon manually within
the 10 seconds.
Fix the panic by reordering the steps in util_probe() so the char dev
entry used by the KVP or VSS daemon is not created until after
vmbus_open() has completed. This reordering prevents the race condition
from happening.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Fix overflow in __rb_map_vma
An overflow occurred when performing the following calculation:
nr_pages = ((nr_subbufs + 1) << subbuf_order) - pgoff;
Add a check before the calculation to avoid this problem.
syzbot reported this as a slab-out-of-bounds in __rb_map_vma:

net: tun: fix tun_napi_alloc_frags()
syzbot reported the following crash [1]
Issue came with the blamed commit. Instead of going through
all the iov components, we keep using the first one
and end up with a malformed skb.
