Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix null ptr deref on hci_sync_conn_complete_evt
This event is just specified for SCO and eSCO link types.
On the reception of a HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete for a BDADDR
of an existing LE connection, LE link type and a status that triggers the
second case of the packet processing a NULL pointer dereference happens,
as conn->link is NULL.

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

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: preserve skb_end_offset() in skb_unclone_keeptruesize()
syzbot found another way to trigger the infamous WARN_ON_ONCE(delta < len)
in skb_try_coalesce() [1]
I was able to root cause the issue to kfence.
When kfence is in action, the following assertion is no longer true:
int size = xxxx;
void *ptr1 = kmalloc(size, gfp);
void *ptr2 = kmalloc(size, gfp);
if (ptr1 && ptr2)
ASSERT(ksize(ptr1) == ksize(ptr2));
We attempted to fix these issues in the blamed commits, but forgot
that TCP was possibly shifting data after skb_unclone_keeptruesize()
has been used, notably from tcp_retrans_try_collapse().
So we not only need to keep same skb->truesize value,
we also need to make sure TCP wont fill new tailroom
that pskb_expand_head() was able to get from a
addr = kmalloc(...) followed by ksize(addr)
Split skb_unclone_keeptruesize() into two parts:
1) Inline skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the common case,
when skb is not cloned.
2) Out of line __skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the 'slow path'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix memory leak of uid in files registration
When there are no files for __io_sqe_files_scm() to process in the
range, it'll free everything and return. However, it forgets to put uid.

Disabling IRQ #22
This happens because we don't invoke .enable_cbs callback in
virtio_device_restore(). That callback is used by some transports
(e.g. virtio-pci) to enable interrupts.
Let's fix it, by calling virtio_device_ready() as we do in
virtio_dev_probe(). This function calls .enable_cts callback and sets
DRIVER_OK status bit.
This fix also avoids setting DRIVER_OK twice for those drivers that
call virtio_device_ready() in the .restore.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix the maximum minor value is blk_alloc_ext_minor()
ida_alloc_range(..., min, max, ...) returns values from min to max,
inclusive.
So, NR_EXT_DEVT is a valid idx returned by blk_alloc_ext_minor().
This is an issue because in device_add_disk(), this value is used in:
ddev->devt = MKDEV(disk->major, disk->first_minor);
and NR_EXT_DEVT is '(1 << MINORBITS)'.
So, should 'disk->first_minor' be NR_EXT_DEVT, it would overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ref_tracker: implement use-after-free detection
Whenever ref_tracker_dir_init() is called, mark the struct ref_tracker_dir
as dead.
Test the dead status from ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free()
This should detect buggy dev_put()/dev_hold() happening too late
in netdevice dismantle process.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/bridge: Add missing pm_runtime_put_sync
pm_runtime_get_sync() will increase the rumtime PM counter
even when it returns an error. Thus a pairing decrement is needed
to prevent refcount leak. Fix this by replacing this API with
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which will not change the runtime
PM counter on error. Besides, a matching decrement is needed
on the error handling path to keep the counter balanced.
