Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix call timer start racing with call destruction
The rxrpc_call struct has a timer used to handle various timed events
relating to a call. This timer can get started from the packet input
routines that are run in softirq mode with just the RCU read lock held.
Unfortunately, because only the RCU read lock is held - and neither ref or
other lock is taken - the call can start getting destroyed at the same time
a packet comes in addressed to that call. This causes the timer - which
was already stopped - to get restarted. Later, the timer dispatch code may
then oops if the timer got deallocated first.
Fix this by trying to take a ref on the rxrpc_call struct and, if
successful, passing that ref along to the timer. If the timer was already
running, the ref is discarded.
The timer completion routine can then pass the ref along to the call's work
item when it queues it. If the timer or work item where already
queued/running, the extra ref is discarded.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: gamecube: Fix refcount leak in gamecube_rtc_read_offset_from_sram
The of_find_compatible_node() function returns a node pointer with
refcount incremented, We should use of_node_put() on it when done
Add the missing of_node_put() to release the refcount.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: mcba_usb: properly check endpoint type
Syzbot reported warning in usb_submit_urb() which is caused by wrong
endpoint type. We should check that in endpoint is actually present to
prevent this warning.
Found pipes are now saved to struct mcba_priv and code uses them
directly instead of making pipes in place.
Fail log:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
XArray: Fix xas_create_range() when multi-order entry present
If there is already an entry present that is of order >= XA_CHUNK_SHIFT
when we call xas_create_range(), xas_create_range() will misinterpret
that entry as a node and dereference xa_node->parent, generally leading
to a crash that looks something like this:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000001:
0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]

RIP: 0010:xas_create_range+0x2d9/0x6e0 lib/xarray.c:725
It's deterministically reproducable once you know what the problem is,
but producing it in a live kernel requires khugepaged to hit a race.
While the problem has been present since xas_create_range() was
introduced, I'm not aware of a way to hit it before the page cache was
converted to use multi-index entries.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In function wg_socket_send_buffer_as_reply_to_skb() or wg_socket_send_

when CONFIG_IPV6 is disable, kfree_skb() is missing. This patch adds it
to fix this bug.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix scheduling while atomic
The driver makes a call into midlayer (fc_remote_port_delete) which can put
the thread to sleep. The thread that originates the call is in interrupt
context. The combination of the two trigger a crash. Schedule the call in
non-interrupt context where it is more safe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: Ignore multiple conn complete events
When one of the three connection complete events is received multiple
times for the same handle, the device is registered multiple times which
leads to memory corruptions. Therefore, consequent events for a single
connection are ignored.
The conn->state can hold different values, therefore HCI_CONN_HANDLE_UNSET
is introduced to identify new connections. To make sure the events do not
contain this or another invalid handle HCI_CONN_HANDLE_MAX and checks
are introduced.
