Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: usbip: fix a refcount leak in stub_probe()
usb_get_dev() is called in stub_device_alloc(). When stub_probe() fails
after that, usb_put_dev() needs to be called to release the reference.
Fix this by moving usb_put_dev() to sdev_free error path handling.
Find this by code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macsec: fix UAF bug for real_dev
Create a new macsec device but not get reference to real_dev. That can
not ensure that real_dev is freed after macsec. That will trigger the
UAF bug for real_dev as following:

After commit faab39f63c1f ("net: allow out-of-order netdev unregistration")
and commit e5f80fcf869a ("ipv6: give an IPv6 dev to blackhole_netdev"), we
can add dev_hold_track() in macsec_dev_init() and dev_put_track() in
macsec_free_netdev() to fix the problem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: mtk_scp: Fix a potential double free
'scp->rproc' is allocated using devm_rproc_alloc(), so there is no need
to free it explicitly in the remove function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: Fix potential NULL dereference in aspeed_vuart_probe
platform_get_resource() may fail and return NULL, so we should
better check it's return value to avoid a NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: mt6397: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: sd: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
If sd_probe() sees an early error before sdkp->device is initialized,
sd_zbc_release_disk() is called. This causes a NULL pointer dereference
when sd_is_zoned() is called inside that function. Avoid this by removing
the call to sd_zbc_release_disk() in sd_probe() error path.
This change is safe and does not result in zone information memory leakage
because the zone information for a zoned disk is allocated only when
sd_revalidate_disk() is called, at which point sdkp->disk_dev is fully set,
resulting in sd_disk_release() being called when needed to cleanup a disk
zone information using sd_zbc_release_disk().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-mq: don't touch ->tagset in blk_mq_get_sq_hctx
blk_mq_run_hw_queues() could be run when there isn't queued request and
after queue is cleaned up, at that time tagset is freed, because tagset
lifetime is covered by driver, and often freed after blk_cleanup_queue()
returns.
So don't touch ->tagset for figuring out current default hctx by the mapping
built in request queue, so use-after-free on tagset can be avoided. Meantime
this way should be fast than retrieving mapping from tagset.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: rockchip: Fix refcount leak in rockchip_grf_init
of_find_matching_node_and_match 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.
