Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xprtrdma: treat all calls not a bcall when bc_serv is NULL
When a rdma server returns a fault format reply, nfs v3 client may
treats it as a bcall when bc service is not exist.
The debug message at rpcrdma_bc_receive_call are,
[56579.837169] RPC: rpcrdma_bc_receive_call: callback XID
00000001, length=20

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: host: isp116x: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: staging: rtl8192eu: Fix deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle
There is a deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle(), which is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| _set_timer()
rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle()| mod_timer()
spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | rtw_join_timeout_handler()
| _rtw_join_timeout_handler()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_bh() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() to
spin_lock_irq() in _rtw_join_timeout_handler() in order to
prevent deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: tty: serial: Fix deadlock in sa1100_set_termios()
There is a deadlock in sa1100_set_termios(), which is shown
below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| sa1100_enable_ms()
sa1100_set_termios() | mod_timer()
spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | sa1100_timeout()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold sport->port.lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need sport->port.lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
sa1100_set_termios() will block forever.
This patch moves del_timer_sync() before spin_lock_irqsave()
in order to prevent the deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: host: Stop setting the ACPI companion
It is no longer needed. The sysdev pointer is now used when
assigning the ACPI companions to the xHCI ports and USB
devices.
Assigning the ACPI companion here resulted in the
fwnode->secondary pointer to be replaced also for the parent
dwc3 device since the primary fwnode (the ACPI companion)
was shared. That was unintentional and it created potential
side effects like resource leaks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: synclink_gt: Fix null-pointer-dereference in slgt_clean()
When the driver fails at alloc_hdlcdev(), and then we remove the driver
module, we will get the following splat:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
extcon: Modify extcon device to be created after driver data is set
Currently, someone can invoke the sysfs such as state_show()
intermittently before dev_set_drvdata() is done.
And it can be a cause of kernel Oops because of edev is Null at that time.
So modified the driver registration to after setting drviver data.
- Oops's backtrace.

rtw_scan_timeout_handler() to spin_lock_irq(). Otherwise,
spin_lock_bh() will also cause deadlock() in timer handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
char: xillybus: fix a refcount leak in cleanup_dev()
usb_get_dev is called in xillyusb_probe. So it is better to call
usb_put_dev before xdev is released.
