Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries/iommu: Don't unset window if it was never set
On pSeries, when user attempts to use the same vfio container used by
different iommu group, the spapr_tce_set_window() returns -EPERM
and the subsequent cleanup leads to the below crash.
Kernel attempted to read user page (308) - exploit attempt?

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: chan: fix soft lockup in rtw89_entity_recalc_mgnt_roles()
During rtw89_entity_recalc_mgnt_roles(), there is a normalizing process
which will re-order the list if an entry with target pattern is found.
And once one is found, should have aborted the list_for_each_entry. But,
`break` just aborted the inner for-loop. The outer list_for_each_entry
still continues. Normally, only the first entry will match the target
pattern, and the re-ordering will change nothing, so there won't be
soft lockup. However, in some special cases, soft lockup would happen.
Fix it by `goto fill` to break from the list_for_each_entry.
The following is a sample of kernel log for this problem.
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 26s! [wpa_supplicant:2055]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wilc1000: unregister wiphy only if it has been registered
There is a specific error path in probe functions in wilc drivers (both
sdio and spi) which can lead to kernel panic, as this one for example
when using SPI:

The issue can easily be reproduced, for example by not wiring correctly
a wilc device through SPI (and so, make it unresponsive to early SPI
commands). It is due to a recent change decoupling wiphy allocation from
wiphy registration, however wilc_netdev_cleanup has not been updated
accordingly, letting it possibly call wiphy unregister on a wiphy which
has never been registered.
Fix this crash by moving wiphy_unregister/wiphy_free out of
wilc_netdev_cleanup, and by adjusting error paths in both drivers

HID: hid-thrustmaster: Fix warning in thrustmaster_probe by adding endpoint check
syzbot has found a type mismatch between a USB pipe and the transfer
endpoint, which is triggered by the hid-thrustmaster driver[1].
There is a number of similar, already fixed issues [2].
In this case as in others, implementing check for endpoint type fixes the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptr_ring: do not block hard interrupts in ptr_ring_resize_multiple()
Jakub added a lockdep_assert_no_hardirq() check in __page_pool_put_page()
to increase test coverage.
syzbot found a splat caused by hard irq blocking in
ptr_ring_resize_multiple() [1]
As current users of ptr_ring_resize_multiple() do not require
hard irqs being masked, replace it to only block BH.
Rename helpers to better reflect they are safe against BH only.
- ptr_ring_resize_multiple() to ptr_ring_resize_multiple_bh()
- skb_array_resize_multiple() to skb_array_resize_multiple_bh()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix read pointer after free in ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev()
In ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev(), if arvif is created on a different
radio, it gets deleted from that radio through a call to
ath12k_mac_unassign_link_vif(). This action frees the arvif pointer.
Subsequently, there is a check involving arvif, which will result in a
read-after-free scenario.
Fix this by moving this check after arvif is again assigned via call to
ath12k_mac_assign_link_vif().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: sch_sfq: don't allow 1 packet limit
The current implementation does not work correctly with a limit of
1. iproute2 actually checks for this and this patch adds the check in
kernel as well.
This fixes the following syzkaller reported crash:

The crash can be also be reproduced with the following (with a tc
recompiled to allow for sfq limits of 1):
tc qdisc add dev dummy0 handle 1: root tbf rate 1Kbit burst 100b lat 1s
../iproute2-6.9.0/tc/tc qdisc add dev dummy0 handle 2: parent 1:10 sfq limit 1
ifconfig dummy0 up
ping -I dummy0 -f -c2 -W0.1 8.8.8.8
sleep 1
Scenario that triggers the crash:
* the first packet is sent and queued in TBF and SFQ; qdisc qlen is 1
* TBF dequeues: it peeks from SFQ which moves the packet to the
gso_skb list and keeps qdisc qlen set to 1. TBF is out of tokens so
it schedules itself for later.
* the second packet is sent and TBF tries to queues it to SFQ. qdisc
qlen is now 2 and because the SFQ limit is 1 the packet is dropped
by SFQ. At this point qlen is 1, and all of the SFQ slots are empty,
however q->tail is not NULL.
At this point, assuming no more packets are queued, when sch_dequeue
runs again it will decrement the qlen for the current empty slot
causing an underflow and the subsequent out of bounds access.

This commit uses kcalloc to allocate memory for wcn->chan_survey,

we do not read a freq out of the opp->rates[] table when called

Add a secondary parameter to the assert function, unused
