Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
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:

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver: base: fix UAF when driver_attach failed
When driver_attach(drv); failed, the driver_private will be freed.
But it has been added to the bus, which caused a UAF.
To fix it, we need to delete it from the bus when failed.

watchdog: rzg2l_wdt: Fix 32bit overflow issue
The value of timer_cycle_us can be 0 due to 32bit overflow.
For eg:- If we assign the counter value "0xfff" for computing
maxval.
This patch fixes this issue by appending ULL to 1024, so that
it is promoted to 64bit.
This patch also fixes the warning message, 'watchdog: Invalid min and
max timeout values, resetting to 0!'.
