Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_tcp_recovery.
While reading sysctl_tcp_recovery, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_thin_linear_timeouts.
While reading sysctl_tcp_thin_linear_timeouts, it can be changed
concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: Fix data-races around sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_fields.
While reading sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_fields, it can be changed
concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_udp_l3mdev_accept.
While reading sysctl_udp_l3mdev_accept, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip: Fix data-races around sysctl_ip_prot_sock.
sysctl_ip_prot_sock is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance
of data-race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to
avoid load/store-tearing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: Fix data-races around sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_policy.
While reading sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_policy, it can be changed
concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: Fix a data-race around sysctl_fib_multipath_use_neigh.
While reading sysctl_fib_multipath_use_neigh, it can be changed
concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
be2net: Fix buffer overflow in be_get_module_eeprom
be_cmd_read_port_transceiver_data assumes that it is given a buffer that
is at least PAGE_DATA_LEN long, or twice that if the module supports SFF
8472. However, this is not always the case.
Fix this by passing the desired offset and length to
be_cmd_read_port_transceiver_data so that we only copy the bytes once.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: fix NULL pointer dereference in dsa_port_reset_vlan_filtering
The "ds" iterator variable used in dsa_port_reset_vlan_filtering() ->
dsa_switch_for_each_port() overwrites the "dp" received as argument,
which is later used to call dsa_port_vlan_filtering() proper.
As a result, switches which do enter that code path (the ones with
vlan_filtering_is_global=true) will dereference an invalid dp in
dsa_port_reset_vlan_filtering() after leaving a VLAN-aware bridge.
Use a dedicated "other_dp" iterator variable to avoid this from
happening.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix handling of dummy receive descriptors
Fix memory leak caused by not handling dummy receive descriptor properly.
iavf_get_rx_buffer now sets the rx_buffer return value for dummy receive
descriptors. Without this patch, when the hardware writes a dummy
descriptor, iavf would not free the page allocated for the previous receive
buffer. This is an unlikely event but can still happen.
