Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sparx5: switchdev: fix possible NULL pointer dereference
As the possible failure of the allocation, devm_kzalloc() may return NULL
pointer.
Therefore, it should be better to check the 'db' in order to prevent
the dereference of NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: nomadik: Add missing of_node_put() in nmk_pinctrl_probe
This node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount
incremented in this function. Calling of_node_put() to avoid
the refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: visconti: prevent array overflow in visconti_clk_register_gates()
This code was using -1 to represent that there was no reset function.
Unfortunately, the -1 was stored in u8 so the if (clks[i].rs_id >= 0)
condition was always true. This lead to an out of bounds access in
visconti_clk_register_gates().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: Fix clk_hw_get_clk() when dev is NULL
Any registered clk_core structure can have a NULL pointer in its dev
field. While never actually documented, this is evidenced by the wide
usage of clk_register and clk_hw_register with a NULL device pointer,
and the fact that the core of_clk_hw_register() function also passes a
NULL device pointer.
A call to clk_hw_get_clk() on a clk_hw struct whose clk_core is in that
case will result in a NULL pointer derefence when it calls dev_name() on
that NULL device pointer.
Add a test for this case and use NULL as the dev_id if the device
pointer is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not clean up repair bio if submit fails
The submit helper will always run bio_endio() on the bio if it fails to
submit, so cleaning up the bio just leads to a variety of use-after-free
and NULL pointer dereference bugs because we race with the endio
function that is cleaning up the bio. Instead just return BLK_STS_OK as
the repair function has to continue to process the rest of the pages,
and the endio for the repair bio will do the appropriate cleanup for the
page that it was given.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: gamecube: Fix refcount leak in gamecube_rtc_read_offset_from_sram
The of_find_compatible_node() function returns a node pointer with
refcount incremented, We should use of_node_put() on it when done
Add the missing of_node_put() to release the refcount.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
XArray: Fix xas_create_range() when multi-order entry present
If there is already an entry present that is of order >= XA_CHUNK_SHIFT
when we call xas_create_range(), xas_create_range() will misinterpret
that entry as a node and dereference xa_node->parent, generally leading
to a crash that looks something like this:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000001:
0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]
CPU: 0 PID: 32 Comm: khugepaged Not tainted 5.17.0-rc8-syzkaller-00003-g56e337f2cf13 #0
RIP: 0010:xa_parent_locked include/linux/xarray.h:1207 [inline]
RIP: 0010:xas_create_range+0x2d9/0x6e0 lib/xarray.c:725
It's deterministically reproducable once you know what the problem is,
but producing it in a live kernel requires khugepaged to hit a race.
While the problem has been present since xas_create_range() was
introduced, I'm not aware of a way to hit it before the page cache was
converted to use multi-index entries.

In function wg_socket_send_buffer_as_reply_to_skb() or wg_socket_send_

when CONFIG_IPV6 is disable, kfree_skb() is missing. This patch adds it
to fix this bug.
