Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In March 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
reset: uniphier-glue: Fix possible null-ptr-deref
It will cause null-ptr-deref when resource_size(res) invoked,
if platform_get_resource() returns NULL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
VMCI: Use threaded irqs instead of tasklets
The vmci_dispatch_dgs() tasklet function calls vmci_read_data()
which uses wait_event() resulting in invalid sleep in an atomic
context (and therefore potentially in a deadlock).
Use threaded irqs to fix this issue and completely remove usage
of tasklets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: always report error in run_one_delayed_ref()
Currently we have a btrfs_debug() for run_one_delayed_ref() failure, but
if end users hit such problem, there will be no chance that
btrfs_debug() is enabled. This can lead to very little useful info for
debugging.
This patch will:
- Add extra info for error reporting
Including:
* logical bytenr
* num_bytes
* type
* action
* ref_mod
- Replace the btrfs_debug() with btrfs_err()
- Move the error reporting into run_one_delayed_ref()
This is to avoid use-after-free, the @node can be freed in the caller.
This error should only be triggered at most once.
As if run_one_delayed_ref() failed, we trigger the error message, then
causing the call chain to error out:
btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
`- btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
`- btrfs_run_delayed_refs_for_head()
`- run_one_delayed_ref()
And we will abort the current transaction in btrfs_run_delayed_refs().
If we have to run delayed refs for the abort transaction,
run_one_delayed_ref() will just cleanup the refs and do nothing, thus no
new error messages would be output.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
device property: fix of node refcount leak in fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint()
The 'parent' returned by fwnode_graph_get_port_parent()
with refcount incremented when 'prev' is not NULL, it
needs be put when finish using it.
Because the parent is const, introduce a new variable to
store the returned fwnode, then put it before returning
from fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: Fix double increment of client_count in dma_chan_get()
The first time dma_chan_get() is called for a channel the channel
client_count is incorrectly incremented twice for public channels,
first in balance_ref_count(), and again prior to returning. This
results in an incorrect client count which will lead to the
channel resources not being freed when they should be. A simple
test of repeated module load and unload of async_tx on a Dell
Power Edge R7425 also shows this resulting in a kref underflow
warning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix a buffer overflow in mgmt_mesh_add()
Smatch Warning:
net/bluetooth/mgmt_util.c:375 mgmt_mesh_add() error: __memcpy()
'mesh_tx->param' too small (48 vs 50)
Analysis:
'mesh_tx->param' is array of size 48. This is the destination.
u8 param[sizeof(struct mgmt_cp_mesh_send) + 29]; // 19 + 29 = 48.
But in the caller 'mesh_send' we reject only when len > 50.
len > (MGMT_MESH_SEND_SIZE + 31) // 19 + 31 = 50.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Prevent race during ffs_ep0_queue_wait
While performing fast composition switch, there is a possibility that the
process of ffs_ep0_write/ffs_ep0_read get into a race condition
due to ep0req being freed up from functionfs_unbind.
Consider the scenario that the ffs_ep0_write calls the ffs_ep0_queue_wait
by taking a lock &ffs->ev.waitq.lock. However, the functionfs_unbind isn't
bounded so it can go ahead and mark the ep0req to NULL, and since there
is no NULL check in ffs_ep0_queue_wait we will end up in use-after-free.
Fix this by making a serialized execution between the two functions using
a mutex_lock(ffs->mutex).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: usb: sunplus: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in sp_usb_phy_probe()
sp_usb_phy_probe() will call platform_get_resource_byname() that may fail
and return NULL. devm_ioremap() will use usbphy->moon4_res_mem->start as
input, which may causes null-ptr-deref. Check the ret value of
platform_get_resource_byname() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/highbank: Fix memory leak in highbank_mc_probe()
When devres_open_group() fails, it returns -ENOMEM without freeing memory
allocated by edac_mc_alloc().
Call edac_mc_free() on the error handling path to avoid a memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: imx-sdma: Fix a possible memory leak in sdma_transfer_init
If the function sdma_load_context() fails, the sdma_desc will be
freed, but the allocated desc->bd is forgot to be freed.
We already met the sdma_load_context() failure case and the log as
below:
[ 450.699064] imx-sdma 30bd0000.dma-controller: Timeout waiting for CH0 ready
...
In this case, the desc->bd will not be freed without this change.
