Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panfrost: Job should reference MMU not file_priv
For a while now it's been allowed for a MMU context to outlive it's
corresponding panfrost_priv, however the job structure still references
panfrost_priv to get hold of the MMU context. If panfrost_priv has been
freed this is a use-after-free which I've been able to trigger resulting
in a splat.
To fix this, drop the reference to panfrost_priv in the job structure
and add a direct reference to the MMU structure which is what's actually
needed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Fix potential use-after-free in nfsd_file_put()
nfsd_file_put_noref() can free @nf, so don't dereference @nf
immediately upon return from nfsd_file_put_noref().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix a data-race in unix_dgram_peer_wake_me().
unix_dgram_poll() calls unix_dgram_peer_wake_me() without `other`'s
lock held and check if its receive queue is full. Here we need to
use unix_recvq_full_lockless() instead of unix_recvq_full(), otherwise
KCSAN will report a data-race.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: lantiq_gswip: Fix refcount leak in gswip_gphy_fw_list
Every iteration of for_each_available_child_of_node() decrements
the reference count of the previous node.
when breaking early from a for_each_available_child_of_node() loop,
we need to explicitly call of_node_put() on the gphy_fw_np.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_rename_dir_prepare
We got issue as follows:
EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem without journal. Opts: ,errors=continue
ext4_get_first_dir_block: bh->b_data=0xffff88810bee6000 len=34478

ext4_rename_dir_prepare: [4] ino=2
ext4_rename_dir_prepare: ent->dir->i_ino=2 parent=-757071872
Reason is first directory entry which 'rec_len' is 34478, then will get illegal
parent entry. Now, we do not check directory entry after read directory block
in 'ext4_get_first_dir_block'.
To solve this issue, check directory entry in 'ext4_get_first_dir_block'.
[ Trigger an ext4_error() instead of just warning if the directory is
missing a '.' or '..' entry. Also make sure we return an error code
if the file system is corrupted. -TYT ]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: altera: Fix refcount leak in altera_tse_mdio_create
Every iteration of for_each_child_of_node() decrements
the reference count of the previous node.
When break from a for_each_child_of_node() loop,
we need to explicitly call of_node_put() on the child node when
not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: Fix xarray node memory leak
If xas_split_alloc() fails to allocate the necessary nodes to complete the
xarray entry split, it sets the xa_state to -ENOMEM, which xas_nomem()
then interprets as "Please allocate more memory", not as "Please free
any unnecessary memory" (which was the intended outcome). It's confusing
to use xas_nomem() to free memory in this context, so call xas_destroy()
instead.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/cs: make commands with 0 chunks illegal behaviour.
Submitting a cs with 0 chunks, causes an oops later, found trying
to execute the wrong userspace driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: bgmac: Fix refcount leak in bcma_mdio_mii_register
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.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context on RT kernel
When setting bootparams="trace_event=initcall:initcall_start tp_printk=1" in the
cmdline, the output_printk() was called, and the spin_lock_irqsave() was called in the
atomic and irq disable interrupt context suitation. On the PREEMPT_RT kernel,
these locks are replaced with sleepable rt-spinlock, so the stack calltrace will
be triggered.
Fix it by raw_spin_lock_irqsave when PREEMPT_RT and "trace_event=initcall:initcall_start
tp_printk=1" enabled.
