Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cfi: Fix __cfi_slowpath_diag RCU usage with cpuidle
RCU_NONIDLE usage during __cfi_slowpath_diag can result in an invalid
RCU state in the cpuidle code path:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/rcu/tree.c:613 rcu_eqs_enter+0xe4/0x138

Instead, call rcu_irq_enter/exit to wake up RCU only when needed and
disable interrupts for the entire CFI shadow/module check when we do.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm mirror log: round up region bitmap size to BITS_PER_LONG
The code in dm-log rounds up bitset_size to 32 bits. It then uses
find_next_zero_bit_le on the allocated region. find_next_zero_bit_le
accesses the bitmap using unsigned long pointers. So, on 64-bit
architectures, it may access 4 bytes beyond the allocated size.
Fix this bug by rounding up bitset_size to BITS_PER_LONG.
This bug was found by running the lvm2 testsuite with kasan.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: fsl-mc-bus: fix KASAN use-after-free in fsl_mc_bus_remove()
In fsl_mc_bus_remove(), mc->root_mc_bus_dev->mc_io is passed to
fsl_destroy_mc_io(). However, mc->root_mc_bus_dev is already freed in
fsl_mc_device_remove(). Then reference to mc->root_mc_bus_dev->mc_io
triggers KASAN use-after-free. To avoid the use-after-free, keep the
reference to mc->root_mc_bus_dev->mc_io in a local variable and pass to
fsl_destroy_mc_io().
This patch needs rework to apply to kernels older than v5.15.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: lpc32xx_udc: Fix refcount leak in lpc32xx_udc_probe
of_parse_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.
of_node_put() will check NULL pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix hang during unmount when block group reclaim task is running
When we start an unmount, at close_ctree(), if we have the reclaim task
running and in the middle of a data block group relocation, we can trigger
a deadlock when stopping an async reclaim task, producing a trace like the
following:

This happens because:
1) Before entering close_ctree() we have the async block group reclaim
task running and relocating a data block group;
2) There's an async metadata (or data) space reclaim task running;
3) We enter close_ctree() and park the cleaner kthread;
4) The async space reclaim task is at flush_space() and runs all the
existing delayed iputs;
5) Before the async space reclaim task calls
btrfs_wait_on_delayed_iputs(), the block group reclaim task which is
doing the data block group relocation, creates a delayed iput at
replace_file_extents() (called when COWing leaves that have file extent
items pointing to relocated data exten

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ibmvfc: Store vhost pointer during subcrq allocation
Currently the back pointer from a queue to the vhost adapter isn't set
until after subcrq interrupt registration. The value is available when a
queue is first allocated and can/should be also set for primary and async
queues as well as subcrqs.
This fixes a crash observed during kexec/kdump on Power 9 with legacy XICS
interrupt controller where a pending subcrq interrupt from the previous
kernel can be replayed immediately upon IRQ registration resulting in
dereference of a garbage backpointer in ibmvfc_interrupt_scsi().
Kernel attempted to read user page (58) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000058
Faulting instruction address: 0xc008000003216a08
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: disable the elevator int del_gendisk
The elevator is only used for file system requests, which are stopped in
del_gendisk. Move disabling the elevator and freeing the scheduler tags
to the end of del_gendisk instead of doing that work in disk_release and
blk_cleanup_queue to avoid a use after free on q->tag_set from
disk_release as the tag_set might not be alive at that point.
Move the blk_qos_exit call as well, as it just depends on the elevator
exit and would be the only reason to keep the not exactly cheap queue
freeze in disk_release.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: fix a use-after-free issue in igb_clean_tx_ring
Fix the following use-after-free bug in igb_clean_tx_ring routine when
the NIC is running in XDP mode. The issue can be triggered redirecting
traffic into the igb NIC and then closing the device while the traffic
is flowing.

In the commit
d966ddcc3821 ("tipc: fix a deadlock when flushing scheduled work"),
the cancel_work_sync() function just to make sure ONLY the work
tipc_net_finalize_work() is executing/pending on any CPU completed before
tipc namespace is destroyed through tipc_exit_net(). But this function
is not guaranteed the work is the last queued. So, the destroyed instance
may be accessed in the work which will try to enqueue later.
In order to completely fix, we re-order the calling of cancel_work_sync()
to make sure the work tipc_net_finalize_work() was last queued and it
must be completed by calling cancel_work_sync().
