Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix implicit ODP use after free
Prevent double queueing of implicit ODP mr destroy work by using
__xa_cmpxchg() to make sure this is the only time we are destroying this
specific mr.
Without this change, we could try to invalidate this mr twice, which in
turn could result in queuing a MR work destroy twice, and eventually the
second work could execute after the MR was freed due to the first work,
causing a user after free and trace below.
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: davicom: fix UAF in dm9000_drv_remove
dm is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using dm after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the
function.
This is similar to the issue fixed in commit
ad297cd2db89 ("net: qcom/emac: fix UAF in emac_remove").
This bug is detected by our static analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: Fix uninit-value in vxlan_vnifilter_dump()
KMSAN reported an uninit-value access in vxlan_vnifilter_dump() [1].
If the length of the netlink message payload is less than
sizeof(struct tunnel_msg), vxlan_vnifilter_dump() accesses bytes
beyond the message. This can lead to uninit-value access. Fix this by
returning an error in such situations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: do not force clear folio if buffer is referenced
Patch series "nilfs2: protect busy buffer heads from being force-cleared".
This series fixes the buffer head state inconsistency issues reported by
syzbot that occurs when the filesystem is corrupted and falls back to
read-only, and the associated buffer head use-after-free issue.
This patch (of 2):
Syzbot has reported that after nilfs2 detects filesystem corruption and
falls back to read-only, inconsistencies in the buffer state may occur.
One of the inconsistencies is that when nilfs2 calls mark_buffer_dirty()
to set a data or metadata buffer as dirty, but it detects that the buffer
is not in the uptodate state:

Both of these issues are caused by the callbacks that handle the
page/folio write requests, forcibly clear various states, including the
working state of the buffers they hold, at unexpected times when they
detect read-only fallback.
Fix these issues by checking if the buffer is referenced before clearing
the page/folio state, and skipping the clear if it is.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Fix possible crash when setting up bsg fails
If bsg_setup_queue() fails, the bsg_queue is assigned a non-NULL value.
Consequently, in mpi3mr_bsg_exit(), the condition "if(!mrioc->bsg_queue)"
will not be satisfied, preventing execution from entering
bsg_remove_queue(), which could lead to the following crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: consolidate suboption status
MPTCP maintains the received sub-options status is the bitmask carrying
the received suboptions and in several bitfields carrying per suboption
additional info.
Zeroing the bitmask before parsing is not enough to ensure a consistent
status, and the MPTCP code has to additionally clear some bitfiled
depending on the actually parsed suboption.
The above schema is fragile, and syzbot managed to trigger a path where
a relevant bitfield is not cleared/initialized:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rose: prevent integer overflows in rose_setsockopt()
In case of possible unpredictably large arguments passed to
rose_setsockopt() and multiplied by extra values on top of that,
integer overflows may occur.
Do the safest minimum and fix these issues by checking the
contents of 'opt' and returning -EINVAL if they are too large. Also,
switch to unsigned int and remove useless check for negative 'opt'
in ROSE_IDLE case.
