Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
objtool, spi: amd: Fix out-of-bounds stack access in amd_set_spi_freq()
If speed_hz < AMD_SPI_MIN_HZ, amd_set_spi_freq() iterates over the
entire amd_spi_freq array without breaking out early, causing 'i' to go
beyond the array bounds.
Fix that by stopping the loop when it gets to the last entry, so the low
speed_hz value gets clamped up to AMD_SPI_MIN_HZ.
Fixes the following warning with an UBSAN kernel:
drivers/spi/spi-amd.o: error: objtool: amd_set_spi_freq() falls through to next function amd_spi_set_opcode()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: light: Add check for array bounds in veml6075_read_int_time_ms
The array contains only 5 elements, but the index calculated by
veml6075_read_int_time_index can range from 0 to 7,
which could lead to out-of-bounds access. The check prevents this issue.
Coverity Issue
CID 1574309: (#1 of 1): Out-of-bounds read (OVERRUN)
overrun-local: Overrunning array veml6075_it_ms of 5 4-byte
elements at element index 7 (byte offset 31) using
index int_index (which evaluates to 7)
This is hardening against potentially broken hardware. Good to have
but not necessary to backport.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: wait barrier before returning discard request with REQ_NOWAIT
raid10_handle_discard should wait barrier before returning a discard bio
which has REQ_NOWAIT. And there is no need to print warning calltrace
if a discard bio has REQ_NOWAIT flag. Quality engineer usually checks
dmesg and reports error if dmesg has warning/error calltrace.

This happens when 'clear_inode()' makes an attempt to finalize an underlying
JFS inode of unknown type. According to JFS layout description from
https://jfs.sourceforge.net/project/pub/jfslayout.pdf, inode types from 5 to
15 are reserved for future extensions and should not be encountered on a valid
filesystem. So add an extra check for valid inode type in 'copy_from_dinode()'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/resctrl: Fix allocation of cleanest CLOSID on platforms with no monitors
Commit
6eac36bb9eb0 ("x86/resctrl: Allocate the cleanest CLOSID by searching closid_num_dirty_rmid")
added logic that causes resctrl to search for the CLOSID with the fewest dirty
cache lines when creating a new control group, if requested by the arch code.
This depends on the values read from the llc_occupancy counters. The logic is
applicable to architectures where the CLOSID effectively forms part of the
monitoring identifier and so do not allow complete freedom to choose an unused
monitoring identifier for a given CLOSID.
This support missed that some platforms may not have these counters. This
causes a NULL pointer dereference when creating a new control group as the
array was not allocated by dom_data_init().
As this feature isn't necessary on platforms that don't have cache occupancy
monitors, add this to the check that occurs when a new control group is
allocated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Replace Mutex with Spinlock for RLCG register access to avoid Priority Inversion in SRIOV
RLCG Register Access is a way for virtual functions to safely access GPU
registers in a virtualized environment., including TLB flushes and
register reads. When multiple threads or VFs try to access the same
registers simultaneously, it can lead to race conditions. By using the
RLCG interface, the driver can serialize access to the registers. This
means that only one thread can access the registers at a time,
preventing conflicts and ensuring that operations are performed
correctly. Additionally, when a low-priority task holds a mutex that a
high-priority task needs, ie., If a thread holding a spinlock tries to
acquire a mutex, it can lead to priority inversion. register access in
amdgpu_virt_rlcg_reg_rw especially in a fast code path is critical.
The call stack shows that the function amdgpu_virt_rlcg_reg_rw is being
called, which attempts to acquire the mutex. This function is invoked
from amdgpu_sriov_wreg, which in turn is called from
gmc_v11_0_flush_gpu_tlb.
The [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] indicates that a thread is trying to
acquire a mutex while it is in a context that does not allow it to sleep
(like holding a spinlock).
Fixes the below:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: core: Clear table_sz when rproc_shutdown
There is case as below could trigger kernel dump:
Use U-Boot to start remote processor(rproc) with resource table
published to a fixed address by rproc. After Kernel boots up,
stop the rproc, load a new firmware which doesn't have resource table
,and start rproc.
When starting rproc with a firmware not have resource table,
`memcpy(loaded_table, rproc->cached_table, rproc->table_sz)` will
trigger dump, because rproc->cache_table is set to NULL during the last
stop operation, but rproc->table_sz is still valid.
This issue is found on i.MX8MP and i.MX9.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: dp: drm_err => dev_err in HPD path to avoid NULL ptr
The function mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() may be called before the
`mtk_dp->drm_dev` pointer is assigned in mtk_dp_bridge_attach().
Specifically it can be called via this callpath:
- mtk_edp_wait_hpd_asserted
- [panel probe]
- dp_aux_ep_probe
Using "drm" level prints anywhere in this callpath causes a NULL
pointer dereference. Change the error message directly in
mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted() to dev_err() to avoid this. Also change the
error messages in mtk_dp_parse_capabilities(), which is called by
mtk_dp_wait_hpd_asserted().
While touching these prints, also add the error code to them to make
future debugging easier.
