Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In January 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: ti-ads1119: fix information leak in triggered buffer
The 'scan' local struct is used to push data to user space from a
triggered buffer, but it has a hole between the sample (unsigned int)
and the timestamp. This hole is never initialized.
Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing
uninitialized information to userspace.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: ti-ads8688: fix information leak in triggered buffer
The 'buffer' local array is used to push data to user space from a
triggered buffer, but it does not set values for inactive channels, as
it only uses iio_for_each_active_channel() to assign new values.
Initialize the array to zero before using it to avoid pushing
uninitialized information to userspace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix kernel crash when 1588 is sent on HIP08 devices
Currently, HIP08 devices does not register the ptp devices, so the
hdev->ptp is NULL. But the tx process would still try to set hardware time
stamp info with SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP flag and cause a kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fixed hclge_fetch_pf_reg accesses bar space out of bounds issue
The TQP BAR space is divided into two segments. TQPs 0-1023 and TQPs
1024-1279 are in different BAR space addresses. However,
hclge_fetch_pf_reg does not distinguish the tqp space information when
reading the tqp space information. When the number of TQPs is greater
than 1024, access bar space overwriting occurs.
The problem of different segments has been considered during the
initialization of tqp.io_base. Therefore, tqp.io_base is directly used
when the queue is read in hclge_fetch_pf_reg.
The error message:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvlan: Fix use-after-free in ipvlan_get_iflink().
syzbot presented an use-after-free report [0] regarding ipvlan and
linkwatch.
ipvlan does not hold a refcnt of the lower device unlike vlan and
macvlan.
If the linkwatch work is triggered for the ipvlan dev, the lower dev
might have already been freed, resulting in UAF of ipvlan->phy_dev in
ipvlan_get_iflink().
We can delay the lower dev unregistration like vlan and macvlan by
holding the lower dev's refcnt in dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init() and
releasing it in dev->priv_destructor().
Jakub pointed out calling .ndo_XXX after unregister_netdevice() has
returned is error prone and suggested [1] addressing this UAF in the
core by taking commit 750e51603395 ("net: avoid potential UAF in
default_operstate()") further.
Let's assume unregistering devices DOWN and use RCU protection in
default_operstate() not to race with the device unregistration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: sysctl: rds_tcp_{rcv,snd}buf: avoid using current->nsproxy
As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net'
structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:
- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only
from the opener's netns.
- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops'
(null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by
syzbot [1] using acct(2).
The per-netns structure can be obtained from the table->data using
container_of(), then the 'net' one can be retrieved from the listen
socket (if available).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: sysctl: plpmtud_probe_interval: avoid using current->nsproxy
As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net'
structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:
- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only
from the opener's netns.
- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops'
(null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by
syzbot [1] using acct(2).
The 'net' structure can be obtained from the table->data using
container_of().
Note that table->data could also be used directly, as this is the only
member needed from the 'net' structure, but that would increase the size
of this fix, to use '*data' everywhere 'net->sctp.probe_interval' is
used.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: sysctl: udp_port: avoid using current->nsproxy
As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net'
structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:
- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only
from the opener's netns.
- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops'
(null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by
syzbot [1] using acct(2).
The 'net' structure can be obtained from the table->data using
container_of().
Note that table->data could also be used directly, but that would
increase the size of this fix, while 'sctp.ctl_sock' still needs to be
retrieved from 'net' structure.
