Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: Do not import certificates from UEFI Secure Boot for T2 Macs
On Apple T2 Macs, when Linux attempts to read the db and dbx efi variables
at early boot to load UEFI Secure Boot certificates, a page fault occurs
in Apple firmware code and EFI runtime services are disabled with the
following logs:
[Firmware Bug]: Page fault caused by firmware at PA: 0xffffb1edc0068000

efi: EFI Runtime Services are disabled!

So we avoid reading these UEFI variables and thus prevent the crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panfrost: Job should reference MMU not file_priv
For a while now it's been allowed for a MMU context to outlive it's
corresponding panfrost_priv, however the job structure still references
panfrost_priv to get hold of the MMU context. If panfrost_priv has been
freed this is a use-after-free which I've been able to trigger resulting
in a splat.
To fix this, drop the reference to panfrost_priv in the job structure
and add a direct reference to the MMU structure which is what's actually
needed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on total_data_blocks
As Yanming reported in bugzilla:

The kernel message is shown below:

RIP: 0010:new_curseg+0xe8d/0x15f0
The root cause is: ckpt.valid_block_count is inconsistent with SIT table,
stat info indicates filesystem has free blocks, but SIT table indicates
filesystem has no free segment.
So that during garbage colloection, it triggers panic when LFS allocator
fails to find free segment.
This patch tries to fix this issue by checking consistency in between
ckpt.valid_block_count and block accounted from SIT.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to do sanity check for inline inode
Yanming reported a kernel bug in Bugzilla kernel [1], which can be
reproduced. The bug message is:
The kernel message is shown below:
kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:611!
Call Trace:
evict+0x282/0x4e0
__dentry_kill+0x2b2/0x4d0

do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90
[1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215895
The bug is due to fuzzed inode has both inline_data and encrypted flags.
During f2fs_evict_inode(), as the inode was deleted by rename(), it
will cause inline data conversion due to conflicting flags. The page
cache will be polluted and the panic will be triggered in clear_inode().
Try fixing the bug by doing more sanity checks for inline data inode in
sanity_check_inode().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on block address in f2fs_do_zero_range()
As Yanming reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215894
I have encountered a bug in F2FS file system in kernel v5.17.
I have uploaded the system call sequence as case.c, and a fuzzed image can
be found in google net disk
The kernel should enable CONFIG_KASAN=y and CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y. You can
reproduce the bug by running the following commands:
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/segment.c:2291!
Call Trace:
f2fs_invalidate_blocks+0x193/0x2d0
f2fs_fallocate+0x2593/0x4a70
vfs_fallocate+0x2a5/0xac0

__x64_sys_fallocate+0x8e/0xf0
do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae
The root cause is, after image was fuzzed, block mapping info in inode
will be inconsistent with SIT table, so in f2fs_fallocate(), it will cause
panic when updating SIT with invalid blkaddr.
Let's fix the issue by adding sanity check on block address before updating
SIT table with it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid cycles in directory h-tree
A maliciously corrupted filesystem can contain cycles in the h-tree
stored inside a directory. That can easily lead to the kernel corrupting
tree nodes that were already verified under its hands while doing a node
split and consequently accessing unallocated memory. Fix the problem by
verifying traversed block numbers are unique.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix a data-race in unix_dgram_peer_wake_me().
unix_dgram_poll() calls unix_dgram_peer_wake_me() without `other`'s
lock held and check if its receive queue is full. Here we need to
use unix_recvq_full_lockless() instead of unix_recvq_full(), otherwise
KCSAN will report a data-race.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: xfrm: unexport __init-annotated xfrm4_protocol_init()
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.
Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.
There are two ways to fix it:
- Remove __init
- Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL
I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site,
net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c is never compiled as modular.
(CONFIG_XFRM is boolean)
