Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LSM: general protection fault in legacy_parse_param
The usual LSM hook "bail on fail" scheme doesn't work for cases where
a security module may return an error code indicating that it does not
recognize an input. In this particular case Smack sees a mount option
that it recognizes, and returns 0. A call to a BPF hook follows, which
returns -ENOPARAM, which confuses the caller because Smack has processed
its data.
The SELinux hook incorrectly returns 1 on success. There was a time
when this was correct, however the current expectation is that it
return 0 on success. This is repaired.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: add vlan list lock to protect vlan list
When adding port base VLAN, vf VLAN need to remove from HW and modify
the vlan state in vf VLAN list as false. If the periodicity task is
freeing the same node, it may cause "use after free" error.
This patch adds a vlan list lock to protect the vlan list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ct: fix ref leak when switching zones
When switching zones or network namespaces without doing a ct clear in
between, it is now leaking a reference to the old ct entry. That's
because tcf_ct_skb_nfct_cached() returns false and
tcf_ct_flow_table_lookup() may simply overwrite it.
The fix is to, as the ct entry is not reusable, free it already at
tcf_ct_skb_nfct_cached().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sparx5: switchdev: fix possible NULL pointer dereference
As the possible failure of the allocation, devm_kzalloc() may return NULL
pointer.
Therefore, it should be better to check the 'db' in order to prevent
the dereference of NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: nomadik: Add missing of_node_put() in nmk_pinctrl_probe
This node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount
incremented in this function. Calling of_node_put() to avoid
the refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: visconti: prevent array overflow in visconti_clk_register_gates()
This code was using -1 to represent that there was no reset function.
Unfortunately, the -1 was stored in u8 so the if (clks[i].rs_id >= 0)
condition was always true. This lead to an out of bounds access in
visconti_clk_register_gates().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: Fix clk_hw_get_clk() when dev is NULL
Any registered clk_core structure can have a NULL pointer in its dev
field. While never actually documented, this is evidenced by the wide
usage of clk_register and clk_hw_register with a NULL device pointer,
and the fact that the core of_clk_hw_register() function also passes a
NULL device pointer.
A call to clk_hw_get_clk() on a clk_hw struct whose clk_core is in that
case will result in a NULL pointer derefence when it calls dev_name() on
that NULL device pointer.
Add a test for this case and use NULL as the dev_id if the device
pointer is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: Fix some leaks in q6v5_alloc_memory_region
The device_node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() or
of_get_child_by_name() with refcount incremented.
We should use of_node_put() on it when done.
This function only call of_node_put(node) when of_address_to_resource
succeeds, missing error cases.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: qcom: clk-rcg2: Update logic to calculate D value for RCG
The display pixel clock has a requirement on certain newer platforms to
support M/N as (2/3) and the final D value calculated results in
underflow errors.
As the current implementation does not check for D value is within
the accepted range for a given M & N value. Update the logic to
calculate the final D value based on the range.
