Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: remove two BUG() from skb_checksum_help()
I have a syzbot report that managed to get a crash in skb_checksum_help()
If syzbot can trigger these BUG(), it makes sense to replace
them with more friendly WARN_ON_ONCE() since skb_checksum_help()
can instead return an error code.
Note that syzbot will still crash there, until real bug is fixed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Check for null pointer of pointer substream before dereferencing it
Pointer substream is being dereferenced on the assignment of pointer card
before substream is being null checked with the macro PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK.
Although PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK calls BUG_ON, it still is useful to perform the
the pointer check before card is assigned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pvrusb2: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in pvr2_i2c_core_init
Syzbot reported that -1 is used as array index. The problem was in
missing validation check.
hdw->unit_number is initialized with -1 and then if init table walk fails
this value remains unchanged. Since code blindly uses this member for
array indexing adding sanity check is the easiest fix for that.
hdw->workpoll initialization moved upper to prevent warning in
__flush_work.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: fix tx status related use-after-free race on station removal
There is a small race window where ongoing tx activity can lead to a skb
getting added to the status tracking idr after that idr has already been
cleaned up, which will keep the wcid linked in the status poll list.
Fix this by only adding status skbs if the wcid pointer is still assigned
in dev->wcid, which gets cleared early by mt76_sta_pre_rcu_remove

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: imx-hdmi: Fix refcount leak in imx_hdmi_probe
of_find_device_by_node() takes reference, we should use put_device()
to release it. when devm_kzalloc() fails, it doesn't have a
put_device(), it will cause refcount leak.
Add missing put_device() to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mxs-saif: Fix refcount leak in mxs_saif_probe
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/disp/dpu1: avoid clearing hw interrupts if hw_intr is null during drm uninit
If edp modeset init is failed due to panel being not ready and
probe defers during drm bind, avoid clearing irqs and dereference
hw_intr when hw_intr is null.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Fix null pointer dereference of pointer perfmon
In the unlikely event that pointer perfmon is null the WARN_ON return path
occurs after the pointer has already been deferenced. Fix this by only
dereferencing perfmon after it has been null checked.
