Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: Fix out-of-bounds read in LDT setup
syscall_stub_data() expects the data_count parameter to be the number of
longs, not bytes.

BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in syscall_stub_data+0x70/0xe0

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: qcom-qmp: fix reset-controller leak on probe errors
Make sure to release the lane reset controller in case of a late probe
error (e.g. probe deferral).
Note that due to the reset controller being defined in devicetree in
"lane" child nodes, devm_reset_control_get_exclusive() cannot be used
directly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: qcom-qmp: fix struct clk leak on probe errors
Make sure to release the pipe clock reference in case of a late probe
error (e.g. probe deferral).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: gadget: Replace list_for_each_entry_safe() if using giveback
The list_for_each_entry_safe() macro saves the current item (n) and
the item after (n+1), so that n can be safely removed without
corrupting the list. However, when traversing the list and removing
items using gadget giveback, the DWC3 lock is briefly released,
allowing other routines to execute. There is a situation where, while
items are being removed from the cancelled_list using
dwc3_gadget_ep_cleanup_cancelled_requests(), the pullup disable
routine is running in parallel (due to UDC unbind). As the cleanup
routine removes n, and the pullup disable removes n+1, once the
cleanup retakes the DWC3 lock, it references a request who was already
removed/handled. With list debug enabled, this leads to a panic.
Ensure all instances of the macro are replaced where gadget giveback
is used.
Example call stack:
Thread#1:
__dwc3_gadget_ep_set_halt() - CLEAR HALT
-> dwc3_gadget_ep_cleanup_cancelled_requests()
->list_for_each_entry_safe()
->dwc3_gadget_giveback(n)
->dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()- n deleted[cancelled_list]
->spin_unlock
->Thread#2 executes
...
->dwc3_gadget_giveback(n+1)
->Already removed!
Thread#2:

->waiting for dwc3 spin_lock
...
->Thread#1 released lock
->dwc3_stop_active_transfers()
->dwc3_remove_requests()
->fetches n+1 item from cancelled_list (n removed by Thread#1)
->dwc3_gadget_giveback()
->dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()- n+1 deleted[cancelled_list]
->spin_unlock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: goldfish: Use tty_port_destroy() to destroy port
In goldfish_tty_probe(), the port initialized through tty_port_init()
should be destroyed in error paths.In goldfish_tty_remove(), qtty->port
also should be destroyed or else might leak resources.
Fix the above by calling tty_port_destroy().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: Don't set mddev private to NULL in raid0 pers->free
In normal stop process, it does like this:
do_md_stop
|
__md_stop (pers->free(); mddev->private=NULL)
|
md_free (free mddev)
__md_stop sets mddev->private to NULL after pers->free. The raid device
will be stopped and mddev memory is free. But in reshape, it doesn't
free the mddev and mddev will still be used in new raid.
In reshape, it first sets mddev->private to new_pers and then runs
old_pers->free(). Now raid0 sets mddev->private to NULL in raid0_free.
The new raid can't work anymore. It will panic when dereference
mddev->private because of NULL pointer dereference.
It can panic like this:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_owner: use strscpy() instead of strlcpy()
current->comm[] is not a string (no guarantee for a zero byte in it).
strlcpy(s1, s2, l) is calling strlen(s2), potentially
causing out-of-bound access, as reported by syzbot:
detected buffer overflow in __fortify_strlen

One way to trigger this is:
1. load a livepatch that patches kernel function xxx;
2. run bpftrace -e 'kfunc:xxx {}', this will fail (expected for now);
3. repeat #2 => gpf.
This is because the entry is added to direct_functions, but not removed.
Fix this by remove the entry from direct_functions when
register_ftrace_direct fails.
Also remove the last trailing space from ftrace.c, so we don't have to
worry about it anymore.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/string_helpers: fix not adding strarray to device's resource list
Add allocated strarray to device's resource list. This is a must to
automatically release strarray when the device disappears.
Without this fix we have a memory leak in the few drivers which use
devm_kasprintf_strarray().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hfi1: Fix potential integer multiplication overflow errors
When multiplying of different types, an overflow is possible even when
storing the result in a larger type. This is because the conversion is
done after the multiplication. So arithmetic overflow and thus in
incorrect value is possible.
Correct an instance of this in the inter packet delay calculation. Fix by
ensuring one of the operands is u64 which will promote the other to u64 as
well ensuring no overflow.
