Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfp: fix memory leak in sfp_probe()
sfp_probe() allocates a memory chunk from sfp with sfp_alloc(). When
devm_add_action() fails, sfp is not freed, which leads to a memory leak.
We should use devm_add_action_or_reset() instead of devm_add_action().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: avoid skb access on nf_stolen
When verdict is NF_STOLEN, the skb might have been freed.
When tracing is enabled, this can result in a use-after-free:
1. access to skb->nf_trace
2. access to skb->mark
3. computation of trace id
4. dump of packet payload
To avoid 1, keep a cached copy of skb->nf_trace in the
trace state struct.
Refresh this copy whenever verdict is != STOLEN.
Avoid 2 by skipping skb->mark access if verdict is STOLEN.
3 is avoided by precomputing the trace id.
Only dump the packet when verdict is not "STOLEN".

This happens because the allocation uses the wrong unit (bits) when it
should pass (BITS_TO_LONGS(count) * sizeof(long)) or equivalent. With small
numbers of bits, the allocated object can be smaller than sizeof(long),
which results in invalid accesses.
Use bitmap_zalloc() to allocate and initialize the irq bitmap, paired with
bitmap_free() for consistency.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: fix use after free when disabling sriov
Use after free is detected by kfence when disabling sriov. What was read
after being freed was vf->pci_dev: it was freed from pci_disable_sriov
and later read in efx_ef10_sriov_free_vf_vports, called from
efx_ef10_sriov_free_vf_vswitching.
Set the pointer to NULL at release time to not trying to read it later.
Reproducer and dmesg log (note that kfence doesn't detect it every time):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix data race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close()
Yang Jihing reported a race between perf_event_set_output() and
perf_mmap_close():
CPU1 CPU2
perf_mmap_close(e2)
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&e2->rb->mmap_count)) // 1 - > 0
detach_rest = true
ioctl(e1, IOC_SET_OUTPUT, e2)
perf_event_set_output(e1, e2)
...
list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, &e2->rb->event_list, rb_entry)
ring_buffer_attach(e, NULL);
// e1 isn't yet added and
// therefore not detached
ring_buffer_attach(e1, e2->rb)
list_add_rcu(&e1->rb_entry,
&e2->rb->event_list)
After this; e1 is attached to an unmapped rb and a subsequent
perf_mmap() will loop forever more:
again:
mutex_lock(&e->mmap_mutex);
if (event->rb) {
...
if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&e->rb->mmap_count)) {
...
mutex_unlock(&e->mmap_mutex);
goto again;
}
}
The loop in perf_mmap_close() holds e2->mmap_mutex, while the attach
in perf_event_set_output() holds e1->mmap_mutex. As such there is no
serialization to avoid this race.
Change perf_event_set_output() to take both e1->mmap_mutex and
e2->mmap_mutex to alleviate that problem. Additionally, have the loop
in perf_mmap() detach the rb directly, this avoids having to wait for
the concurrent perf_mmap_close() to get around to doing it to make
progress.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: ralink: 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.".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power/reset: arm-versatile: Fix refcount leak in versatile_reboot_probe
of_find_matching_node_and_match() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: rt711-sdca: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when IO error
The initial settings will be written before the codec probe function.
But, the rt711->component doesn't be assigned yet.
If IO error happened during initial settings operations, it will cause the kernel panic.
This patch changed component->dev to slave->dev to fix this issue.
