Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In January 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_socket: remove WARN_ON_ONCE on maximum cgroup level
cgroup maximum depth is INT_MAX by default, there is a cgroup toggle to
restrict this maximum depth to a more reasonable value not to harm
performance. Remove unnecessary WARN_ON_ONCE which is reachable from
userspace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Really fix PCIe port nodes for ls7a
Fix the dtc warnings:
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:68.16-416.5: Warning (interrupt_provider): /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000: '#interrupt-cells' found, but node is not an interrupt provider
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:68.16-416.5: Warning (interrupt_provider): /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000: '#interrupt-cells' found, but node is not an interrupt provider
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/loongson64g_4core_ls7a.dtb: Warning (interrupt_map): Failed prerequisite 'interrupt_provider'
And a runtime warning introduced in commit 045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on
deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells handling"):
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/of/base.c:106 of_bus_n_addr_cells+0x9c/0xe0
Missing '#address-cells' in /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000/pci_bridge@9,0
The fix is similar to commit d89a415ff8d5 ("MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Fix PCIe
port nodes for ls7a"), which has fixed the issue for ls2k (despite its
subject mentions ls7a).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: imx8m: Probe the SoC driver as platform driver
With driver_async_probe=* on kernel command line, the following trace is
produced because on i.MX8M Plus hardware because the soc-imx8m.c driver
calls of_clk_get_by_name() which returns -EPROBE_DEFER because the clock
driver is not yet probed. This was not detected during regular testing
without driver_async_probe.
Convert the SoC code to platform driver and instantiate a platform device
in its current device_initcall() to probe the platform driver. Rework
.soc_revision callback to always return valid error code and return SoC
revision via parameter. This way, if anything in the .soc_revision callback
return -EPROBE_DEFER, it gets propagated to .probe and the .probe will get
retried later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kunit: Fix potential null dereference in kunit_device_driver_test()
kunit_kzalloc() may return a NULL pointer, dereferencing it without
NULL check may lead to NULL dereference.
Add a NULL check for test_state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: add a sanity check for btrfs root in btrfs_search_slot()
Syzbot reports a null-ptr-deref in btrfs_search_slot().
The reproducer is using rescue=ibadroots, and the extent tree root is
corrupted thus the extent tree is NULL.
When scrub tries to search the extent tree to gather the needed extent
info, btrfs_search_slot() doesn't check if the target root is NULL or
not, resulting the null-ptr-deref.
Add sanity check for btrfs root before using it in btrfs_search_slot().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix handling of plane refcount
[Why]
The mechanism to backup and restore plane states doesn't maintain
refcount, which can cause issues if the refcount of the plane changes
in between backup and restore operations, such as memory leaks if the
refcount was supposed to go down, or double frees / invalid memory
accesses if the refcount was supposed to go up.
[How]
Cache and re-apply current refcount when restoring plane states.
