Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: clcdfb: Fix refcount leak in clcdfb_of_vram_setup
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should
use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore. Add missing of_node_put() to
avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtla: Avoid record NULL pointer dereference
Fix the following null/deref_null.cocci errors:
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/osnoise_hist.c:870:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/osnoise_top.c:650:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/timerlat_hist.c:905:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/timerlat_top.c:700:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.
"record" is NULL before calling osnoise_init_trace_tool.
Add a tag "out_free" to avoid dereferring a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/mediatek: Fix NULL pointer dereference when printing dev_name
When larbdev is NULL (in the case I hit, the node is incorrectly set
iommus = <&iommu NUM>), it will cause device_link_add() fail and
kernel crashes when we try to print dev_name(larbdev).
Let's fail the probe if a larbdev is NULL to avoid invalid inputs from
dts.
It should work for normal correct setting and avoid the crash caused
by my incorrect setting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix dereference of stale list iterator after loop body
The list iterator variable will be a bogus pointer if no break was hit.
Dereferencing it (cur->page in this case) could load an out-of-bounds/undefined
value making it unsafe to use that in the comparision to determine if the
specific element was found.
Since 'cur->page' *can* be out-ouf-bounds it cannot be guaranteed that
by chance (or intention of an attacker) it matches the value of 'page'
even though the correct element was not found.
This is fixed by using a separate list iterator variable for the loop
and only setting the original variable if a suitable element was found.
Then determing if the element was found is simply checking if the
variable is set.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix potential deadlock in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show()
When being read, a sysfs attribute is already protected against removal
with the kobject node active reference counter. As a result, in
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), there is no need to take the queue sysfs
lock when reading the value of a range attribute. Using the queue sysfs
lock in this function creates a potential deadlock situation with the
disk removal, something that a lockdep signals with a splat when the
device is removed:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: fix plock invalid read
This patch fixes an invalid read showed by KASAN. A unlock will allocate a
"struct plock_op" and a followed send_op() will append it to a global
send_list data structure. In some cases a followed dev_read() moves it
to recv_list and dev_write() will cast it to "struct plock_xop" and access
fields which are only available in those structures. At this point an
invalid read happens by accessing those fields.
To fix this issue the "callback" field is moved to "struct plock_op" to
indicate that a cast to "plock_xop" is allowed and does the additional
"plock_xop" handling if set.
Example of the KASAN output which showed the invalid read:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix memory leak in parse_apply_sb_mount_options()
If processing the on-disk mount options fails after any memory was
allocated in the ext4_fs_context, e.g. s_qf_names, then this memory is
leaked. Fix this by calling ext4_fc_free() instead of kfree() directly.
Reproducer:

In the ext4_valid_extent_entries function,
if prev is 0, no error is returned even if lblock<=prev.
This was intended to skip the check on the first extent, but
in the error image above, prev=0+1-1=0 when checking the second extent,
so even though lblock<=prev, the function does not return an error.
As a result, bug_ON occurs in __es_tree_search and the system panics.
To solve this problem, we only need to check that:
1. The lblock of the first extent is not less than 0.
2. The lblock of the next extent is not less than
the next block of the previous extent.
The same applies to extent_idx.
