Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: state: fix out-of-bounds read during lookup
lookup and resize can run in parallel.
The xfrm_state_hash_generation seqlock ensures a retry, but the hash
functions can observe a hmask value that is too large for the new hlist
array.
rehash does:
rcu_assign_pointer(net->xfrm.state_bydst, ndst) [..]
net->xfrm.state_hmask = nhashmask;
While state lookup does:
h = xfrm_dst_hash(net, daddr, saddr, tmpl->reqid, encap_family);
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(x, net->xfrm.state_bydst + h, bydst) {
This is only safe in case the update to state_bydst is larger than
net->xfrm.xfrm_state_hmask (or if the lookup function gets
serialized via state spinlock again).
Fix this by prefetching state_hmask and the associated pointers.
The xfrm_state_hash_generation seqlock retry will ensure that the pointer
and the hmask will be consistent.
The existing helpers, like xfrm_dst_hash(), are now unsafe for RCU side,
add lockdep assertions to document that they are only safe for insert
side.
xfrm_state_lookup_byaddr() uses the spinlock rather than RCU.
AFAICS this is an oversight from back when state lookup was converted to
RCU, this lock should be replaced with RCU in a future patch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: th1520: Fix memory corruption due to incorrect array size
The functions th1520_mbox_suspend_noirq and th1520_mbox_resume_noirq are
intended to save and restore the interrupt mask registers in the MBOX
ICU0. However, the array used to store these registers was incorrectly
sized, leading to memory corruption when accessing all four registers.
This commit corrects the array size to accommodate all four interrupt
mask registers, preventing memory corruption during suspend and resume
operations.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: dw: Fix use-after-free in dw_i3c_master driver due to race condition
In dw_i3c_common_probe, &master->hj_work is bound with
dw_i3c_hj_work. And dw_i3c_master_irq_handler can call
dw_i3c_master_irq_handle_ibis function to start the work.
If we remove the module which will call dw_i3c_common_remove to
make cleanup, it will free master->base through i3c_master_unregister
while the work mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations
that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| dw_i3c_hj_work
dw_i3c_common_remove |
i3c_master_unregister(&master->base) |
device_unregister(&master->dev) |
device_release |
//free master->base |
| i3c_master_do_daa(&master->base)
| //use master->base
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in dw_i3c_common_remove.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: tps6594: Fix integer overflow on 32bit systems
The problem is this multiply in tps6594_rtc_set_offset()
tmp = offset * TICKS_PER_HOUR;
The "tmp" variable is an s64 but "offset" is a long in the
(-277774)-277774 range. On 32bit systems a long can hold numbers up to
approximately two billion. The number of TICKS_PER_HOUR is really large,
(32768 * 3600) or roughly a hundred million. When you start multiplying
by a hundred million it doesn't take long to overflow the two billion
mark.
Probably the safest way to fix this is to change the type of
TICKS_PER_HOUR to long long because it's such a large number.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rdma/cxgb4: Prevent potential integer overflow on 32bit
The "gl->tot_len" variable is controlled by the user. It comes from
process_responses(). On 32bit systems, the "gl->tot_len + sizeof(struct
cpl_pass_accept_req) + sizeof(struct rss_header)" addition could have an
integer wrapping bug. Use size_add() to prevent this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: fix soft lockup in the OOM process
A soft lockup issue was found in the product with about 56,000 tasks were
in the OOM cgroup, it was traversing them when the soft lockup was
triggered.

This is because thousands of processes are in the OOM cgroup, it takes a
long time to traverse all of them. As a result, this lead to soft lockup
in the OOM process.
To fix this issue, call 'cond_resched' in the 'mem_cgroup_scan_tasks'
function per 1000 iterations. For global OOM, call
'touch_softlockup_watchdog' per 1000 iterations to avoid this issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imx-jpeg: Fix potential error pointer dereference in detach_pm()
The proble is on the first line:
if (jpeg->pd_dev[i] && !pm_runtime_suspended(jpeg->pd_dev[i]))
If jpeg->pd_dev[i] is an error pointer, then passing it to
pm_runtime_suspended() will lead to an Oops. The other conditions
check for both error pointers and NULL, but it would be more clear to
use the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check for that.
Unifiedtransform v2.X is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. Unauthorized users can access and manipulate endpoints intended exclusively for administrative use. This issue specifically affects teacher/edit/{id}.
When AdaCore Ada Web Server 25.0.0 is linked with GnuTLS, the default behaviour of AWS.Client is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack because of lack of verification of an HTTPS server's certificate (unless the using program specifies a TLS configuration).
TL-WR845N(UN)_V4_200909 and TL-WR845N(UN)_V4_190219 was discovered to contain a hardcoded password for the root account which can be obtained by analyzing downloaded firmware or via a brute force attack through physical access to the router.
