Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: vchiq_core: handle NULL result of find_service_by_handle
In case of an invalid handle the function find_servive_by_handle
returns NULL. So take care of this and avoid a NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: wfx: fix an error handling in wfx_init_common()
One error handler of wfx_init_common() return without calling
ieee80211_free_hw(hw), which may result in memory leak. And I add
one err label to unify the error handler, which is useful for the
subsequent changes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: fix a race in rxrpc_exit_net()
Current code can lead to the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
rxrpc_exit_net()
rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker()
if (rxnet->live)
rxnet->live = false;
del_timer_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer);
timer_reduce(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer, jiffies + delay);
cancel_work_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work);
rxrpc_exit_net() exits while peer_keepalive_timer is still armed,
leading to use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment recycling
Fix a use-after-free when using page_pool with page fragments. We
encountered this problem during normal RX in the hns3 driver:
(1) Initially we have three descriptors in the RX queue. The first one
allocates PAGE1 through page_pool, and the other two allocate one
half of PAGE2 each. Page references look like this:
RX_BD1 _______ PAGE1
RX_BD2 _______ PAGE2
RX_BD3 _________/
(2) Handle RX on the first descriptor. Allocate SKB1, eventually added
to the receive queue by tcp_queue_rcv().
(3) Handle RX on the second descriptor. Allocate SKB2 and pass it to
netif_receive_skb():
netif_receive_skb(SKB2)
ip_rcv(SKB2)
SKB3 = skb_clone(SKB2)
SKB2 and SKB3 share a reference to PAGE2 through
skb_shinfo()->dataref. The other ref to PAGE2 is still held by
RX_BD3:
SKB2 ---+- PAGE2
SKB3 __/ /
RX_BD3 _________/
(3b) Now while handling TCP, coalesce SKB3 with SKB1:
tcp_v4_rcv(SKB3)
tcp_try_coalesce(to=SKB1, from=SKB3) // succeeds
kfree_skb_partial(SKB3)
skb_release_data(SKB3) // drops one dataref
SKB1 _____ PAGE1
\____
SKB2 _____ PAGE2
/
RX_BD3 _________/
In skb_try_coalesce(), __skb_frag_ref() takes a page reference to
PAGE2, where it should instead have increased the page_pool frag
reference, pp_frag_count. Without coalescing, when releasing both
SKB2 and SKB3, a single reference to PAGE2 would be dropped. Now
when releasing SKB1 and SKB2, two references to PAGE2 will be
dropped, resulting in underflow.
(3c) Drop SKB2:
af_packet_rcv(SKB2)
consume_skb(SKB2)
skb_release_data(SKB2) // drops second dataref
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE2) // drops one pp_frag_count
SKB1 _____ PAGE1
\____
PAGE2
/
RX_BD3 _________/
(4) Userspace calls recvmsg()
Copies SKB1 and releases it. Since SKB3 was coalesced with SKB1, we
release the SKB3 page as well:
tcp_eat_recv_skb(SKB1)
skb_release_data(SKB1)
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE1)
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE2) // drops second pp_frag_count
(5) PAGE2 is freed, but the third RX descriptor was still using it!
In our case this causes IOMMU faults, but it would silently corrupt
memory if the IOMMU was disabled.
Change the logic that checks whether pp_recycle SKBs can be coalesced.
We still reject differing pp_recycle between 'from' and 'to' SKBs, but
in order to avoid the situation described above, we also reject
coalescing when both 'from' and 'to' are pp_recycled and 'from' is
cloned.
The new logic allows coalescing a cloned pp_recycle SKB into a page
refcounted one, because in this case the release (4) will drop the right
reference, the one taken by skb_try_coalesce().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lz4: fix LZ4_decompress_safe_partial read out of bound
When partialDecoding, it is EOF if we've either filled the output buffer
or can't proceed with reading an offset for following match.
In some extreme corner cases when compressed data is suitably corrupted,
UAF will occur. As reported by KASAN [1], LZ4_decompress_safe_partial
may lead to read out of bound problem during decoding. lz4 upstream has
fixed it [2] and this issue has been disscussed here [3] before.
current decompression routine was ported from lz4 v1.8.3, bumping
lib/lz4 to v1.9.+ is certainly a huge work to be done later, so, we'd
better fix it first.

scsi: mpt3sas: Fix use after free in _scsih_expander_node_remove()
The function mpt3sas_transport_port_remove() called in
_scsih_expander_node_remove() frees the port field of the sas_expander

Fix this by introducing the local variable port_id to store the port ID
value before executing mpt3sas_transport_port_remove(). This local variable
is then used in the call to ioc_info() instead of dereferencing the freed
port structure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drbd: Fix five use after free bugs in get_initial_state
In get_initial_state, it calls notify_initial_state_done(skb,..) if
cb->args[5]==1. If genlmsg_put() failed in notify_initial_state_done(),
the skb will be freed by nlmsg_free(skb).
Then get_initial_state will goto out and the freed skb will be used by
return value skb->len, which is a uaf bug.
What's worse, the same problem goes even further: skb can also be
freed in the notify_*_state_change -> notify_*_state calls below.
Thus 4 additional uaf bugs happened.
My patch lets the problem callee functions: notify_initial_state_done
and notify_*_state_change return an error code if errors happen.
So that the error codes could be propagated and the uaf bugs can be avoid.
v2 reports a compilation warning. This v3 fixed this warning and built
successfully in my local environment with no additional warnings.

RDMA/hfi1: Fix use-after-free bug for mm struct
Under certain conditions, such as MPI_Abort, the hfi1 cleanup code may
represent the last reference held on the task mm.
hfi1_mmu_rb_unregister() then drops the last reference and the mm is freed
before the final use in hfi1_release_user_pages(). A new task may
allocate the mm structure while it is still being used, resulting in
problems. One manifestation is corruption of the mmap_sem counter leading
to a hang in down_write(). Another is corruption of an mm struct that is
in use by another task.
