Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: Fix signed integer overflow in l2tp_ip6_sendmsg
When len >= INT_MAX - transhdrlen, ulen = len + transhdrlen will be
overflow. To fix, we can follow what udpv6 does and subtract the
transhdrlen from the max.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: Fix signed integer overflow in __ip6_append_data
Resurrect ubsan overflow checks and ubsan report this warning,
fix it by change the variable [length] type to size_t.
UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1489:19

Changes since v1:
-Change the variable [length] type to unsigned, as Eric Dumazet suggested.
Changes since v2:
-Don't change exthdrlen type in ip6_make_skb, as Paolo Abeni suggested.
Changes since v3:
-Don't change ulen type in udpv6_sendmsg and l2tp_ip6_sendmsg, as
Jakub Kicinski suggested.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix memory leak in nfcmrvl_play_deferred
Similar to the handling of play_deferred in commit 19cfe912c37b
("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix memory leak in play_deferred"), we thought
a patch might be needed here as well.
Currently usb_submit_urb is called directly to submit deferred tx
urbs after unanchor them.
So the usb_giveback_urb_bh would failed to unref it in usb_unanchor_urb
and cause memory leak.
Put those urbs in tx_anchor to avoid the leak, and also fix the error
handling.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo()
In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of
ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer,
there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get
reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to
'&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc2: Fix memory leak in dwc2_hcd_init
usb_create_hcd will alloc memory for hcd, and we should
call usb_put_hcd to free it when platform_get_resource()
fails to prevent memory leak.
goto error2 label instead error1 to fix this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/realtek-rtl: Fix refcount leak in map_interrupts
of_find_node_by_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
This function doesn't call of_node_put() in error path.
Call of_node_put() directly after of_property_read_u32() to cover
both normal path and error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gic-v3: Fix refcount leak in gic_populate_ppi_partitions
of_find_node_by_phandle() 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:
irqchip/gic-v3: Fix error handling in gic_populate_ppi_partitions
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
When kcalloc fails, it missing of_node_put() and results in refcount
leak. Fix this by goto out_put_node label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/apple-aic: Fix refcount leak in build_fiq_affinity
of_find_node_by_phandle() 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:
irqchip/apple-aic: Fix refcount leak in aic_of_ic_init
of_get_child_by_name() 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.
