Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In March 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: tegra: Fix memory leak in terminate_all()
Terminate vdesc when terminating an ongoing transfer.
This will ensure that the vdesc is present in the desc_terminated list
The descriptor will be freed later in desc_free_list().
This fixes the memory leaks which can happen when terminating an
ongoing transfer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: betop: check shape of output reports
betopff_init() only checks the total sum of the report counts for each
report field to be at least 4, but hid_betopff_play() expects 4 report
fields.
A device advertising an output report with one field and 4 report counts
would pass the check but crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference
in hid_betopff_play().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change
syzbot reports a possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change [1].
While rfcomm_sock_connect acquires the sk lock and waits for
the rfcomm lock, rfcomm_sock_release could have the rfcomm
lock and hit a deadlock for acquiring the sk lock.
Here's a simplified flow:
rfcomm_sock_connect:
lock_sock(sk)
rfcomm_dlc_open:
rfcomm_lock()
rfcomm_sock_release:
rfcomm_sock_shutdown:
rfcomm_lock()
__rfcomm_dlc_close:
rfcomm_k_state_change:
lock_sock(sk)
This patch drops the sk lock before calling rfcomm_dlc_open to
avoid the possible deadlock and holds sk's reference count to
prevent use-after-free after rfcomm_dlc_open completes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Fix a memory leak with reused mmap_offset
drm_vma_node_allow() and drm_vma_node_revoke() should be called in
balanced pairs. We call drm_vma_node_allow() once per-file everytime a
user calls mmap_offset, but only call drm_vma_node_revoke once per-file
on each mmap_offset. As the mmap_offset is reused by the client, the
per-file vm_count may remain non-zero and the rbtree leaked.
Call drm_vma_node_allow_once() instead to prevent that memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/qcom: Do not pass llcc_driv_data as edac_device_ctl_info's pvt_info
The memory for llcc_driv_data is allocated by the LLCC driver. But when
it is passed as the private driver info to the EDAC core, it will get freed
during the qcom_edac driver release. So when the qcom_edac driver gets probed
again, it will try to use the freed data leading to the use-after-free bug.
Hence, do not pass llcc_driv_data as pvt_info but rather reference it
using the platform_data pointer in the qcom_edac driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: fix potential memory leaks in session setup
Make sure to free cifs_ses::auth_key.response before allocating it as
we might end up leaking memory in reconnect or mounting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix UaF in netns ops registration error path
If net_assign_generic() fails, the current error path in ops_init() tries
to clear the gen pointer slot. Anyway, in such error path, the gen pointer
itself has not been modified yet, and the existing and accessed one is
smaller than the accessed index, causing an out-of-bounds error:

acpi: Fix suspend with Xen PV
Commit f1e525009493 ("x86/boot: Skip realmode init code when running as
Xen PV guest") missed one code path accessing real_mode_header, leading
to dereferencing NULL when suspending the system under Xen:

Fix that by adding an optional acpi callback allowing to skip setting
the wakeup address, as in the Xen PV case this will be handled by the
hypervisor anyway.
