Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libfc: Fix use after free in fc_exch_abts_resp()
fc_exch_release(ep) will decrease the ep's reference count. When the
reference count reaches zero, it is freed. But ep is still used in the
following code, which will lead to a use after free.
Return after the fc_exch_release() call to avoid use after free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfc: add missing xdp queue reinitialization
After rx/tx ring buffer size is changed, kernel panic occurs when
it acts XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT.
When tx/rx ring buffer size is changed(ethtool -G), sfc driver
reallocates and reinitializes rx and tx queues and their buffer
(tx_queue->buffer).
But it misses reinitializing xdp queues(efx->xdp_tx_queues).
So, while it is acting XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT, it uses the uninitialized
tx_queue->buffer.
A new function efx_set_xdp_channels() is separated from efx_set_channels()
to handle only xdp queues.
Splat looks like:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix potential crash on module unload
The vmbus driver relies on the panic notifier infrastructure to perform
some operations when a panic event is detected. Since vmbus can be built
as module, it is required that the driver handles both registering and
unregistering such panic notifier callback.
After commit 74347a99e73a ("x86/Hyper-V: Unload vmbus channel in hv panic callback")
though, the panic notifier registration is done unconditionally in the module
initialization routine whereas the unregistering procedure is conditionally
guarded and executes only if HV_FEATURE_GUEST_CRASH_MSR_AVAILABLE capability
is set.
This patch fixes that by unconditionally unregistering the panic notifier
in the module's exit routine as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_console: eliminate anonymous module_init & module_exit
Eliminate anonymous module_init() and module_exit(), which can lead to
confusion or ambiguity when reading System.map, crashes/oops/bugs,
or an initcall_debug log.
Give each of these init and exit functions unique driver-specific
names to eliminate the anonymous names.
Example 1: (System.map)
ffffffff832fc78c t init
ffffffff832fc79e t init
ffffffff832fc8f8 t init
Example 2: (initcall_debug log)
calling init+0x0/0x12 @ 1
initcall init+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 15 usecs
calling init+0x0/0x60 @ 1
initcall init+0x0/0x60 returned 0 after 2 usecs
calling init+0x0/0x9a @ 1

habanalabs: fix possible memory leak in MMU DR fini
This patch fixes what seems to be copy paste error.
We will have a memory leak if the host-resident shadow is NULL (which
will likely happen as the DR and HR are not dependent).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.2: fix reference count leaks in _nfs42_proc_copy_notify()
[You don't often get email from xiongx18@fudan.edu.cn. Learn why this is important at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification.]
The reference counting issue happens in two error paths in the
function _nfs42_proc_copy_notify(). In both error paths, the function
simply returns the error code and forgets to balance the refcount of
object `ctx`, bumped by get_nfs_open_context() earlier, which may
cause refcount leaks.
Fix it by balancing refcount of the `ctx` object before the function
returns in both error paths.
