Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In January 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: detach gendisk from ublk device if add_disk() fails
Inside ublk_abort_requests(), gendisk is grabbed for aborting all
inflight requests. And ublk_abort_requests() is called when exiting
the uring context or handling timeout.
If add_disk() fails, the gendisk may have been freed when calling
ublk_abort_requests(), so use-after-free can be caused when getting
disk's reference in ublk_abort_requests().
Fixes the bug by detaching gendisk from ublk device if add_disk() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries/vas: Add close() callback in vas_vm_ops struct
The mapping VMA address is saved in VAS window struct when the
paste address is mapped. This VMA address is used during migration
to unmap the paste address if the window is active. The paste
address mapping will be removed when the window is closed or with
the munmap(). But the VMA address in the VAS window is not updated
with munmap() which is causing invalid access during migration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/MSI: Handle lack of irqdomain gracefully
Alexandre observed a warning emitted from pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() on a
RISCV platform which does not provide PCI/MSI support:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at drivers/pci/msi/msi.h:121 pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs+0x2c/0x32
__pci_enable_msix_range+0x30c/0x596
pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs+0x2c/0x32
pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity+0xb8/0xe2
RISCV uses hierarchical interrupt domains and correctly does not implement
the legacy fallback. The warning triggers from the legacy fallback stub.
That warning is bogus as the PCI/MSI layer knows whether a PCI/MSI parent
domain is associated with the device or not. There is a check for MSI-X,
which has a legacy assumption. But that legacy fallback assumption is only
valid when legacy support is enabled, but otherwise the check should simply
return -ENOTSUPP.
Loongarch tripped over the same problem and blindly enabled legacy support
without implementing the legacy fallbacks. There are weak implementations
which return an error, so the problem was papered over.
Correct pci_msi_domain_supports() to evaluate the legacy mode and add
the missing supported check into the MSI enable path to complete it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fred: Clear WFE in missing-ENDBRANCH #CPs
An indirect branch instruction sets the CPU indirect branch tracker
(IBT) into WAIT_FOR_ENDBRANCH (WFE) state and WFE stays asserted
across the instruction boundary. When the decoder finds an
inappropriate instruction while WFE is set ENDBR, the CPU raises a #CP
fault.
For the "kernel IBT no ENDBR" selftest where #CPs are deliberately
triggered, the WFE state of the interrupted context needs to be
cleared to let execution continue. Otherwise when the CPU resumes
from the instruction that just caused the previous #CP, another
missing-ENDBRANCH #CP is raised and the CPU enters a dead loop.
This is not a problem with IDT because it doesn't preserve WFE and
IRET doesn't set WFE. But FRED provides space on the entry stack
(in an expanded CS area) to save and restore the WFE state, thus the
WFE state is no longer clobbered, so software must clear it.
Clear WFE to avoid dead looping in ibt_clear_fred_wfe() and the
!ibt_fatal code path when execution is allowed to continue.
Clobbering WFE in any other circumstance is a security-relevant bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: mediatek: add intf release flow when usb disconnect
MediaTek claim an special usb intr interface for ISO data transmission.
The interface need to be released before unregistering hci device when
usb disconnect. Removing BT usb dongle without properly releasing the
interface may cause Kernel panic while unregister hci device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: check folio mapping after unlock in relocate_one_folio()
When we call btrfs_read_folio() to bring a folio uptodate, we unlock the
folio. The result of that is that a different thread can modify the
mapping (like remove it with invalidate) before we call folio_lock().
This results in an invalid page and we need to try again.
In particular, if we are relocating concurrently with aborting a
transaction, this can result in a crash like the following:

This occurs because cleanup_one_transaction() calls
destroy_delalloc_inodes() which calls invalidate_inode_pages2() which
takes the folio_lock before setting mapping to NULL. We fail to check
this, and subsequently call set_extent_mapping(), which assumes that
mapping != NULL (in fact it asserts that in debug mode)
Note that the "fixes" patch here is not the one that introduced the
race (the very first iteration of this code from 2009) but a more recent
change that made this particular crash happen in practice.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix use-after-free when COWing tree bock and tracing is enabled
When a COWing a tree block, at btrfs_cow_block(), and we have the
tracepoint trace_btrfs_cow_block() enabled and preemption is also enabled
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), we can trigger a use-after-free in the COWed extent
buffer while inside the tracepoint code. This is because in some paths
that call btrfs_cow_block(), such as btrfs_search_slot(), we are holding
the last reference on the extent buffer @buf so btrfs_force_cow_block()
drops the last reference on the @buf extent buffer when it calls
free_extent_buffer_stale(buf), which schedules the release of the extent
buffer with RCU. This means that if we are on a kernel with preemption,
the current task may be preempted before calling trace_btrfs_cow_block()
and the extent buffer already released by the time trace_btrfs_cow_block()
is called, resulting in a use-after-free.
Fix this by moving the trace_btrfs_cow_block() from btrfs_cow_block() to
btrfs_force_cow_block() before the COWed extent buffer is freed.
This also has a side effect of invoking the tracepoint in the tree defrag
code, at defrag.c:btrfs_realloc_node(), since btrfs_force_cow_block() is
called there, but this is fine and it was actually missing there.
