Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: rzg2l_wdt: Fix 'BUG: Invalid wait context'
This patch fixes the issue 'BUG: Invalid wait context' during restart()
callback by using clk_prepare_enable() instead of pm_runtime_get_sync()
for turning on the clocks during restart.
This issue is noticed when testing with renesas_defconfig.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to clear dirty inode in f2fs_evict_inode()
As Yanming reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215904
The kernel message is shown below:
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inode.c:825!
Call Trace:

The root cause is: inode node and dnode node share the same nid,
so during f2fs_evict_inode(), dnode node truncation will invalidate
its NAT entry, so when truncating inode node, it fails due to
invalid NAT entry, result in inode is still marked as dirty, fix
this issue by clearing dirty for inode and setting SBI_NEED_FSCK
flag in filesystem.
output from dump.f2fs:
[print_node_info: 354] Node ID [0xf:15] is inode
i_nid[0] [0x f : 15]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix reference count leak in smb_check_perm_dacl()
The issue happens in a specific path in smb_check_perm_dacl(). When
"id" and "uid" have the same value, the function simply jumps out of
the loop without decrementing the reference count of the object
"posix_acls", which is increased by get_acl() earlier. This may
result in memory leaks.
Fix it by decreasing the reference count of "posix_acls" before
jumping to label "check_access_bits".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fix refcount leak in mv88e6xxx_mdios_register
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
mv88e6xxx_mdio_register() pass the device node to of_mdiobus_register().
We don't need the device node after it.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: out of bounds read in mtk_hwlro_get_fdir_entry()
The "fsp->location" variable comes from user via ethtool_get_rxnfc().
Check that it is valid to prevent an out of bounds read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
amt: fix possible memory leak in amt_rcv()
If an amt receives packets and it finds socket.
If it can't find a socket, it should free a received skb.
But it doesn't.
So, a memory leak would possibly occur.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix memory leak in dmi_sysfs_register_handle
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fix this issue by calling kobject_put().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix deadlock in __device_attach
In __device_attach function, The lock holding logic is as follows:
...
__device_attach
device_lock(dev) // get lock dev
async_schedule_dev(__device_attach_async_helper, dev); // func
async_schedule_node
async_schedule_node_domain(func)
entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct async_entry), GFP_ATOMIC);
/* when fail or work limit, sync to execute func, but
__device_attach_async_helper will get lock dev as
well, which will lead to A-A deadlock. */
if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK) {
func;
else
queue_work_node(node, system_unbound_wq, &entry->work)
device_unlock(dev)
As shown above, when it is allowed to do async probes, because of
out of memory or work limit, async work is not allowed, to do
sync execute instead. it will lead to A-A deadlock because of
__device_attach_async_helper getting lock dev.
To fix the deadlock, move the async_schedule_dev outside device_lock,
as we can see, in async_schedule_node_domain, the parameter of
queue_work_node is system_unbound_wq, so it can accept concurrent
operations. which will also not change the code logic, and will
not lead to deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context
Laurent reported the enclosed report [1]
This bug triggers with following coditions:
0) Kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y
1) A new passive FastOpen TCP socket is created.
This FO socket waits for an ACK coming from client to be a complete
ESTABLISHED one.
2) A socket operation on this socket goes through lock_sock()
release_sock() dance.
3) While the socket is owned by the user in step 2),
a retransmit of the SYN is received and stored in socket backlog.
4) At release_sock() time, the socket backlog is processed while
in process context.
5) A SYNACK packet is cooked in response of the SYN retransmit.
6) -> tcp_rtx_synack() is called in process context.
Before blamed commit, tcp_rtx_synack() was always called from BH handler,
from a timer handler.
Fix this by using TCP_INC_STATS() & NET_INC_STATS()
which do not assume caller is in non preemptible context.
