Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Implement ref count for SRB
The timeout handler and the done function are racing. When
qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout() starts to run it can be preempted by the
normal response path (via the firmware?). qla24xx_async_gpsc_sp_done()
releases the SRB unconditionally. When scheduling back to
qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout() qla24xx_async_abort_cmd() will access an freed
sp->qpair pointer:
qla2xxx [0000:83:00.0]-2871:0: Async-gpsc timeout - hdl=63d portid=234500 50:06:0e:80:08:77:b6:21.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004
IP: qla24xx_async_abort_cmd+0x1b/0x1c0 [qla2xxx]
Obvious solution to this is to introduce a reference counter. One reference
is taken for the normal code path (the 'good' case) and one for the timeout
path. As we always race between the normal good case and the timeout/abort
handler we need to serialize it. Also we cannot assume any order between
the handlers. Since this is slow path we can use proper synchronization via
locks.
When we are able to cancel a timer (del_timer returns 1) we know there
can't be any error handling in progress because the timeout handler hasn't
expired yet, thus we can safely decrement the refcounter by one.
If we are not able to cancel the timer, we know an abort handler is
running. We have to make sure we call sp->done() in the abort handlers
before calling kref_put().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: Fix error handling in mt8183_da7219_max98357_dev_probe
The device_node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount
incremented. We should use of_node_put() on it when done.
This function only calls of_node_put() in the regular path.
And it will cause refcount leak in error paths.
Fix this by calling of_node_put() in error handling too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imx-jpeg: fix a bug of accessing array out of bounds
When error occurs in parsing jpeg, the slot isn't acquired yet, it may
be the default value MXC_MAX_SLOTS.
If the driver access the slot using the incorrect slot number, it will
access array out of bounds.
The result is the driver will change num_domains, which follows
slot_data in struct mxc_jpeg_dev.
Then the driver won't detach the pm domain at rmmod, which will lead to
kernel panic when trying to insmod again.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/tm: Fix more userspace r13 corruption
Commit cf13435b730a ("powerpc/tm: Fix userspace r13 corruption") fixes a
problem in treclaim where a SLB miss can occur on the
thread_struct->ckpt_regs while SCRATCH0 is live with the saved user r13
value, clobbering it with the kernel r13 and ultimately resulting in
kernel r13 being stored in ckpt_regs.
There is an equivalent problem in trechkpt where the user r13 value is
loaded into r13 from chkpt_regs to be recheckpointed, but a SLB miss
could occur on ckpt_regs accesses after that, which will result in r13
being clobbered with a kernel value and that will get recheckpointed and
then restored to user registers.
The same memory page is accessed right before this critical window where
a SLB miss could cause corruption, so hitting the bug requires the SLB
entry be removed within a small window of instructions, which is
possible if a SLB related MCE hits there. PAPR also permits the
hypervisor to discard this SLB entry (because slb_shadow->persistent is
only set to SLB_NUM_BOLTED) although it's not known whether any
implementations would do this (KVM does not). So this is an extremely
unlikely bug, only found by inspection.
Fix this by also storing user r13 in a temporary location on the kernel
stack and don't change the r13 register from kernel r13 until the RI=0
critical section that does not fault.
The SCRATCH0 change is not strictly part of the fix, it's only used in
the RI=0 section so it does not have the same problem as the previous
SCRATCH0 bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imx-jpeg: Prevent decoding NV12M jpegs into single-planar buffers
If the application queues an NV12M jpeg as output buffer, but then
queues a single planar capture buffer, the kernel will crash with
"Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" in mxc_jpeg_addrs,
prevent this by finishing the job with error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: add sanity check on allocation size
ntfs_read_inode_mount invokes ntfs_malloc_nofs with zero allocation
size. It triggers one BUG in the __ntfs_malloc function.
Fix this by adding sanity check on ni->attr_list_size.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not double complete bio on errors during compressed reads
I hit some weird panics while fixing up the error handling from
btrfs_lookup_bio_sums(). Turns out the compression path will complete
the bio we use if we set up any of the compression bios and then return
an error, and then btrfs_submit_data_bio() will also call bio_endio() on
the bio.
Fix this by making btrfs_submit_compressed_read() responsible for
calling bio_endio() on the bio if there are any errors. Currently it
was only doing it if we created the compression bios, otherwise it was
depending on btrfs_submit_data_bio() to do the right thing. This
creates the above problem, so fix up btrfs_submit_compressed_read() to
always call bio_endio() in case of an error, and then simply return from
btrfs_submit_data_bio() if we had to call
btrfs_submit_compressed_read().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not clean up repair bio if submit fails
The submit helper will always run bio_endio() on the bio if it fails to
submit, so cleaning up the bio just leads to a variety of use-after-free
and NULL pointer dereference bugs because we race with the endio
function that is cleaning up the bio. Instead just return BLK_STS_OK as
the repair function has to continue to process the rest of the pages,
and the endio for the repair bio will do the appropriate cleanup for the
page that it was given.
