Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix some memory leaks in an error handling path of 'log_replay()'
All error handling paths lead to 'out' where many resources are freed.
Do it as well here instead of a direct return, otherwise 'log', 'ra' and
'log->one_page_buf' (at least) will leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: ir_toy: free before error exiting
Fix leak in error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: staging: media: zoran: move videodev alloc
Move some code out of zr36057_init() and create new functions for handling
zr->video_dev. This permit to ease code reading and fix a zr->video_dev
memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: staging: media: zoran: calculate the right buffer number for zoran_reap_stat_com
On the case tmp_dcim=1, the index of buffer is miscalculated.
This generate a NULL pointer dereference later.
So let's fix the calcul and add a check to prevent this to reappear.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges""
A crash [1] happened to be triggered in conjunction with commit
2d52c58b9c9b ("block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges"). The
latter was then reverted by commit ebc69e897e17 ("Revert "block, bfq:
honor already-setup queue merges""). Yet, the reverted commit was not
the one introducing the bug. In fact, it actually triggered a UAF
introduced by a different commit, and now fixed by commit d29bd41428cf
("block, bfq: reset last_bfqq_created on group change").
So, there is no point in keeping commit 2d52c58b9c9b ("block, bfq:
honor already-setup queue merges") out. This commit restores it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: qcom: ipq8074: fix PCI-E clock oops
Fix PCI-E clock related kernel oops that are caused by a missing clock
parent.
pcie0_rchng_clk_src has num_parents set to 2 but only one parent is
actually set via parent_hws, it should also have "XO" defined.
This will cause the kernel to panic on a NULL pointer in
clk_core_get_parent_by_index().
So, to fix this utilize clk_parent_data to provide gcc_xo_gpll0 parent
data.
Since there is already an existing static const char * const gcc_xo_gpll0[]
used to provide the same parents via parent_names convert those users to
clk_parent_data as well.
Without this earlycon is needed to even catch the OOPS as it will reset
the board before serial is initialized with the following:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpu: host1x: Fix a memory leak in 'host1x_remove()'
Add a missing 'host1x_channel_list_free()' call in the remove function,
as already done in the error handling path of the probe function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udmabuf: validate ubuf->pagecount
Syzbot has reported GPF in sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages(). The
problem was in ubuf->pages == ZERO_PTR.
ubuf->pagecount is calculated from arguments passed from user-space. If
user creates udmabuf with list.size == 0 then ubuf->pagecount will be
also equal to zero; it causes kmalloc_array() to return ZERO_PTR.
Fix it by validating ubuf->pagecount before passing it to
kmalloc_array().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer
There is one call trace that snd_soc_register_card()
->snd_soc_bind_card()->soc_init_pcm_runtime()
->snd_soc_dai_compress_new()->snd_soc_new_compress().
In the trace the 'codec_dai' transfers from card->dai_link,
and we can see from the snd_soc_add_pcm_runtime() in
snd_soc_bind_card() that, if value of card->dai_link->num_codecs
is 0, then 'codec_dai' could be null pointer caused
by index out of bound in 'asoc_rtd_to_codec(rtd, 0)'.
And snd_soc_register_card() is called by various platforms.
Therefore, it is better to add the check in the case of misusing.
And because 'cpu_dai' has already checked in soc_init_pcm_runtime(),
there is no need to check again.
Adding the check as follow, then if 'codec_dai' is null,
snd_soc_new_compress() will not pass through the check
'if (playback + capture != 1)', avoiding the leftover use of
'codec_dai'.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: rpmpd: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc
Because of the possible failure of the allocation, data->domains might
be NULL pointer and will cause the dereference of the NULL pointer
later.
Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM
without releasing data manually if fails, because the comment of the
devm_kmalloc() says "Memory allocated with this function is
automatically freed on driver detach.".
