Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/a6xx: Fix refcount leak in a6xx_gpu_init
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
a6xx_gmu_init() passes the node to of_find_device_by_node()
and of_dma_configure(), of_find_device_by_node() will takes its
reference, of_dma_configure() doesn't need the node after usage.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/drivers/imx_sc_thermal: Fix refcount leak in imx_sc_thermal_probe
of_find_node_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix buffer copy overflow of ztailpacking feature
I got some KASAN report as below:

The root cause is that the tail pcluster won't be a complete filesystem
block anymore. So if ztailpacking is used, the second part of an
uncompressed tail pcluster may not be ``rq->pageofs_out``.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-throttle: Set BIO_THROTTLED when bio has been throttled
1.In current process, all bio will set the BIO_THROTTLED flag
after __blk_throtl_bio().
2.If bio needs to be throttled, it will start the timer and
stop submit bio directly. Bio will submit in
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() when the timer expires.But in
the current process, if bio is throttled. The BIO_THROTTLED
will be set to bio after timer start. If the bio has been
completed, it may cause use-after-free blow.

Fix this by move BIO_THROTTLED set into the queue_lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: scmi: Fix refcount leak in scmi_regulator_probe
of_find_node_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: msm: fix possible memory leak in mdp5_crtc_cursor_set()
drm_gem_object_lookup will call drm_gem_object_get inside. So cursor_bo
needs to be put when msm_gem_get_and_pin_iova fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvdimm: Fix firmware activation deadlock scenarios
Lockdep reports the following deadlock scenarios for CXL root device
power-management, device_prepare(), operations, and device_shutdown()
operations for 'nd_region' devices:
Chain exists of:
&nvdimm_region_key --> &nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex --> system_transition_mutex
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(system_transition_mutex);
lock(&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex);
lock(system_transition_mutex);
lock(&nvdimm_region_key);
Chain exists of:
&cxl_nvdimm_bridge_key --> acpi_scan_lock --> &cxl_root_key
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&cxl_root_key);
lock(acpi_scan_lock);
lock(&cxl_root_key);
lock(&cxl_nvdimm_bridge_key);
These stem from holding nvdimm_bus_lock() over hibernate_quiet_exec()
which walks the entire system device topology taking device_lock() along
the way. The nvdimm_bus_lock() is protecting against unregistration,
multiple simultaneous ops callers, and preventing activate_show() from
racing activate_store(). For the first 2, the lock is redundant.
Unregistration already flushes all ops users, and sysfs already prevents
multiple threads to be active in an ops handler at the same time. For
the last userspace should already be waiting for its last
activate_store() to complete, and does not need activate_show() to flush
the write side, so this lock usage can be deleted in these attributes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: hisi: Add missing of_node_put after of_find_compatible_node
of_find_compatible_node will increment the refcount of the returned
device_node. Calling of_node_put() to avoid the refcount leak
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: bcm: Check for NULL return of devm_kzalloc()
As the potential failure of allocation, devm_kzalloc() may return NULL. Then
the 'pd->pmb' and the follow lines of code may bring null pointer dereference.
Therefore, it is better to check the return value of devm_kzalloc() to avoid
this confusion.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: renesas: rzn1: Fix possible null-ptr-deref in sh_pfc_map_resources()
It will cause null-ptr-deref when using 'res', if platform_get_resource()
returns NULL, so move using 'res' after devm_ioremap_resource() that
will check it to avoid null-ptr-deref.
And use devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() to simplify code.
