Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dpaa2-eth: retrieve the virtual address before dma_unmap
The TSO header was DMA unmapped before the virtual address was retrieved
and then used to free the buffer. This meant that we were actually
removing the DMA map and then trying to search for it to help in
retrieving the virtual address. This lead to a invalid virtual address
being used in the kfree call.
Fix this by calling dpaa2_iova_to_virt() prior to the dma_unmap call.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: ti: ti_sci_pm_domains: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc
The allocation funciton devm_kcalloc may fail and return a null pointer,
which would cause a null-pointer dereference later.
It might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM just like the
usage of devm_kcalloc in previous code.

PCI: mediatek: Fix refcount leak in mtk_pcie_subsys_powerup()
The of_find_compatible_node() function 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:
misc: ocxl: fix possible double free in ocxl_file_register_afu
info_release() will be called in device_unregister() when info->dev's
reference count is 0. So there is no need to call ocxl_afu_put() and
kfree() again.
Fix this by adding free_minor() and return to err_unregister error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: fix missed rcu protection
When removing the rcu_read_lock in bond_ethtool_get_ts_info() as
discussed [1], I didn't notice it could be called via setsockopt,
which doesn't hold rcu lock, as syzbot pointed:

Fix it by adding rcu_read_lock and take a ref on the real_dev.
Since dev_hold() and dev_put() can take NULL these days, we can
skip checking if real_dev exist.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/papr_scm: Fix leaking nvdimm_events_map elements
Right now 'char *' elements allocated for individual 'stat_id' in
'papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map[]' during papr_scm_pmu_check_events(), get
leaked in papr_scm_remove() and papr_scm_pmu_register(),
papr_scm_pmu_check_events() error paths.
Also individual 'stat_id' arent NULL terminated 'char *' instead they are fixed
8-byte sized identifiers. However papr_scm_pmu_register() assumes it to be a
NULL terminated 'char *' and at other places it assumes it to be a
'papr_scm_perf_stat.stat_id' sized string which is 8-byes in size.
Fix this by allocating the memory for papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map to also
include space for 'stat_id' entries. This is possible since number of available
events/stat_ids are known upfront. This saves some memory and one extra level of
indirection from 'nvdimm_events_map' to 'stat_id'. Also rest of the code
can continue to call 'kfree(papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map)' without needing to
iterate over the array and free up individual elements.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/rtas: Keep MSR[RI] set when calling RTAS
RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).
The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.
Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:
watchdog: CPU 24 Hard LOCKUP

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.
RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":
R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
0 when in the critical regions.
Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real
