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:
net/mlx5e: add missing cpu_to_node to kvzalloc_node in mlx5e_open_xdpredirect_sq
kvzalloc_node is not doing a runtime check on the node argument
(__alloc_pages_node_noprof does have a VM_BUG_ON, but it expands to
nothing on !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds), so doing any ethtool/netlink
operation that calls mlx5e_open on a CPU that's larger that MAX_NUMNODES
triggers OOB access and panic (see the trace below).
Add missing cpu_to_node call to convert cpu id to node id.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmr: do not call mr_mfc_uses_dev() for unres entries
syzbot found that calling mr_mfc_uses_dev() for unres entries
would crash [1], because c->mfc_un.res.minvif / c->mfc_un.res.maxvif
alias to "struct sk_buff_head unresolved", which contain two pointers.
This code never worked, lets remove it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: delete intermediate secpath entry in packet offload mode
Packets handled by hardware have added secpath as a way to inform XFRM
core code that this path was already handled. That secpath is not needed
at all after policy is checked and it is removed later in the stack.
However, in the case of IP forwarding is enabled (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward),
that secpath is not removed and packets which already were handled are reentered
to the driver TX path with xfrm_offload set.
The following kernel panic is observed in mlx5 in such case:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: handle errors that nilfs_prepare_chunk() may return
Patch series "nilfs2: fix issues with rename operations".
This series fixes BUG_ON check failures reported by syzbot around rename
operations, and a minor behavioral issue where the mtime of a child
directory changes when it is renamed instead of moved.
This patch (of 2):
The directory manipulation routines nilfs_set_link() and
nilfs_delete_entry() rewrite the directory entry in the folio/page
previously read by nilfs_find_entry(), so error handling is omitted on the
assumption that nilfs_prepare_chunk(), which prepares the buffer for
rewriting, will always succeed for these. And if an error is returned, it
triggers the legacy BUG_ON() checks in each routine.
This assumption is wrong, as proven by syzbot: the buffer layer called by
nilfs_prepare_chunk() may call nilfs_get_block() if necessary, which may
fail due to metadata corruption or other reasons. This has been there all
along, but improved sanity checks and error handling may have made it more
reproducible in fuzzing tests.
Fix this issue by adding missing error paths in nilfs_set_link(),
nilfs_delete_entry(), and their caller nilfs_rename().
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:

The other is when nilfs_btree_propagate(), which propagates the dirty
state to the ancestor nodes of a b-tree that point to a dirty buffer,
detects that the origin buffer is not dirty, even though it should be:

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:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000041c
