Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_readdir when note_last_dentry returns error
Reset the last_readdir at the same time, and add a comment explaining
why we don't free last_readdir when dir_emit returns false.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: mediatek: Fix memory leaks on probe
Handle the error branches to free memory where required.
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1491825 ("Resource leak")
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix use after free in hci_send_acl
This fixes the following trace caused by receiving
HCI_EV_DISCONN_PHY_LINK_COMPLETE which does call hci_conn_del without
first checking if conn->type is in fact AMP_LINK and in case it is
do properly cleanup upper layers with hci_disconn_cfm:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/secvar: fix refcount leak in format_show()
Refcount leak will happen when format_show returns failure in multiple
cases. Unified management of of_node_put can fix this problem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libfc: Fix use after free in fc_exch_abts_resp()
fc_exch_release(ep) will decrease the ep's reference count. When the
reference count reaches zero, it is freed. But ep is still used in the
following code, which will lead to a use after free.
Return after the fc_exch_release() call to avoid use after free.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: Fix misused goto label
Fix a misused goto label jump since that can result in a memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: use memset avoid memory leaks
Use memset to initialize structs to prevent memory leaks
in l2cap_ecred_connect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfc: add missing xdp queue reinitialization
After rx/tx ring buffer size is changed, kernel panic occurs when
it acts XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT.
When tx/rx ring buffer size is changed(ethtool -G), sfc driver
reallocates and reinitializes rx and tx queues and their buffer
(tx_queue->buffer).
But it misses reinitializing xdp queues(efx->xdp_tx_queues).
So, while it is acting XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT, it uses the uninitialized
tx_queue->buffer.
A new function efx_set_xdp_channels() is separated from efx_set_channels()
to handle only xdp queues.
Splat looks like:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
habanalabs: fix possible memory leak in MMU DR fini
This patch fixes what seems to be copy paste error.
We will have a memory leak if the host-resident shadow is NULL (which
will likely happen as the DR and HR are not dependent).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.2: fix reference count leaks in _nfs42_proc_copy_notify()
[You don't often get email from xiongx18@fudan.edu.cn. Learn why this is important at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification.]
The reference counting issue happens in two error paths in the
function _nfs42_proc_copy_notify(). In both error paths, the function
simply returns the error code and forgets to balance the refcount of
object `ctx`, bumped by get_nfs_open_context() earlier, which may
cause refcount leaks.
Fix it by balancing refcount of the `ctx` object before the function
returns in both error paths.
