Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: vchiq_core: handle NULL result of find_service_by_handle
In case of an invalid handle the function find_servive_by_handle
returns NULL. So take care of this and avoid a NULL pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: wfx: fix an error handling in wfx_init_common()
One error handler of wfx_init_common() return without calling
ieee80211_free_hw(hw), which may result in memory leak. And I add
one err label to unify the error handler, which is useful for the
subsequent changes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: fix a race in rxrpc_exit_net()
Current code can lead to the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
rxrpc_exit_net()
rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker()
if (rxnet->live)
rxnet->live = false;
del_timer_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer);
timer_reduce(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer, jiffies + delay);
cancel_work_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work);
rxrpc_exit_net() exits while peer_keepalive_timer is still armed,
leading to use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dpaa2-ptp: Fix refcount leak in dpaa2_ptp_probe
This node pointer is returned by of_find_compatible_node() with
refcount incremented. Calling of_node_put() to aovid the refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/rdmavt: add lock to call to rvt_error_qp to prevent a race condition
The documentation of the function rvt_error_qp says both r_lock and s_lock
need to be held when calling that function. It also asserts using lockdep
that both of those locks are held. However, the commit I referenced in
Fixes accidentally makes the call to rvt_error_qp in rvt_ruc_loopback no
longer covered by r_lock. This results in the lockdep assertion failing
and also possibly in a race condition.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arch/arm64: Fix topology initialization for core scheduling
Arm64 systems rely on store_cpu_topology() to call update_siblings_masks()
to transfer the toplogy to the various cpu masks. This needs to be done
before the call to notify_cpu_starting() which tells the scheduler about
each cpu found, otherwise the core scheduling data structures are setup
in a way that does not match the actual topology.
With smt_mask not setup correctly we bail on `cpumask_weight(smt_mask) == 1`
for !leaders in:
notify_cpu_starting()
cpuhp_invoke_callback_range()
sched_cpu_starting()
sched_core_cpu_starting()
which leads to rq->core not being correctly set for !leader-rq's.
Without this change stress-ng (which enables core scheduling in its prctl
tests in newer versions -- i.e. with PR_SCHED_CORE support) causes a warning
and then a crash (trimmed for legibility):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv4: fix route with nexthop object delete warning
FRR folks have hit a kernel warning[1] while deleting routes[2] which is
caused by trying to delete a route pointing to a nexthop id without
specifying nhid but matching on an interface. That is, a route is found
but we hit a warning while matching it. The warning is from
fib_info_nh() in include/net/nexthop.h because we run it on a fib_info
with nexthop object. The call chain is:
inet_rtm_delroute -> fib_table_delete -> fib_nh_match (called with a
nexthop fib_info and also with fc_oif set thus calling fib_info_nh on
the fib_info and triggering the warning). The fix is to not do any
matching in that branch if the fi has a nexthop object because those are
managed separately. I.e. we should match when deleting without nh spec and
should fail when deleting a nexthop route with old-style nh spec because
nexthop objects are managed separately, e.g.:
$ ip r show 1.2.3.4/32
1.2.3.4 nhid 12 via 192.168.11.2 dev dummy0
$ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32
$ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32 nhid 12
<both should work>
$ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32 dev dummy0
<should fail with ESRCH>

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment recycling
Fix a use-after-free when using page_pool with page fragments. We
encountered this problem during normal RX in the hns3 driver:
(1) Initially we have three descriptors in the RX queue. The first one
allocates PAGE1 through page_pool, and the other two allocate one
half of PAGE2 each. Page references look like this:
RX_BD1 _______ PAGE1
RX_BD2 _______ PAGE2
RX_BD3 _________/
(2) Handle RX on the first descriptor. Allocate SKB1, eventually added
to the receive queue by tcp_queue_rcv().
(3) Handle RX on the second descriptor. Allocate SKB2 and pass it to
netif_receive_skb():
netif_receive_skb(SKB2)
ip_rcv(SKB2)
SKB3 = skb_clone(SKB2)
SKB2 and SKB3 share a reference to PAGE2 through
skb_shinfo()->dataref. The other ref to PAGE2 is still held by
RX_BD3:
SKB2 ---+- PAGE2
SKB3 __/ /
RX_BD3 _________/
(3b) Now while handling TCP, coalesce SKB3 with SKB1:
tcp_v4_rcv(SKB3)
tcp_try_coalesce(to=SKB1, from=SKB3) // succeeds
kfree_skb_partial(SKB3)
skb_release_data(SKB3) // drops one dataref
SKB1 _____ PAGE1
\____
SKB2 _____ PAGE2
/
RX_BD3 _________/
In skb_try_coalesce(), __skb_frag_ref() takes a page reference to
PAGE2, where it should instead have increased the page_pool frag
reference, pp_frag_count. Without coalescing, when releasing both
SKB2 and SKB3, a single reference to PAGE2 would be dropped. Now
when releasing SKB1 and SKB2, two references to PAGE2 will be
dropped, resulting in underflow.
(3c) Drop SKB2:
af_packet_rcv(SKB2)
consume_skb(SKB2)
skb_release_data(SKB2) // drops second dataref
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE2) // drops one pp_frag_count
SKB1 _____ PAGE1
\____
PAGE2
/
RX_BD3 _________/
(4) Userspace calls recvmsg()
Copies SKB1 and releases it. Since SKB3 was coalesced with SKB1, we
release the SKB3 page as well:
tcp_eat_recv_skb(SKB1)
skb_release_data(SKB1)
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE1)
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE2) // drops second pp_frag_count
(5) PAGE2 is freed, but the third RX descriptor was still using it!
In our case this causes IOMMU faults, but it would silently corrupt
memory if the IOMMU was disabled.
Change the logic that checks whether pp_recycle SKBs can be coalesced.
We still reject differing pp_recycle between 'from' and 'to' SKBs, but
in order to avoid the situation described above, we also reject
coalescing when both 'from' and 'to' are pp_recycled and 'from' is
cloned.
The new logic allows coalescing a cloned pp_recycle SKB into a page
refcounted one, because in this case the release (4) will drop the right
reference, the one taken by skb_try_coalesce().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tls: fix slab-out-of-bounds bug in decrypt_internal
