Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In April 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: zynqmp_dp: Fix a deadlock in zynqmp_dp_ignore_hpd_set()
Instead of attempting the same mutex twice, lock and unlock it.
This bug has been detected by the Clang thread-safety analyzer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: xlnx: zynqmp_dpsub: Add NULL check in zynqmp_audio_init
devm_kasprintf() calls can return null pointers on failure.
But some return values were not checked in zynqmp_audio_init().
Add NULL check in zynqmp_audio_init(), avoid referencing null
pointers in the subsequent code.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: Fix race condition when gathering fdinfo group samples
Commit e16635d88fa0 ("drm/panthor: add DRM fdinfo support") failed to
protect access to groups with an xarray lock, which could lead to
use-after-free errors.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: libwx: fix Tx L4 checksum
The hardware only supports L4 checksum offload for TCP/UDP/SCTP protocol.
There was a bug to set Tx checksum flag for the other protocol that results
in Tx ring hang. Fix to compute software checksum for these packets.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Fix kernel panic during FW release
This fixes a kernel panic seen during release FW in a stress test
scenario where WLAN and BT FW download occurs simultaneously, and due to
a HW bug, chip sends out only 1 bootloader signatures.
When driver receives the bootloader signature, it enters FW download
mode, but since no consequtive bootloader signatures seen, FW file is
not requested.
After 60 seconds, when FW download times out, release_firmware causes a
kernel panic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix NULL pointer dereference in l3mdev_l3_rcv
When delete l3s ipvlan:
ip link del link eth0 ipvlan1 type ipvlan mode l3s
This may cause a null pointer dereference:
Call trace:
ip_rcv_finish+0x48/0xd0
ip_rcv+0x5c/0x100

napi_poll+0xe8/0x294
net_rx_action+0xd8/0x22c
__do_softirq+0x12c/0x354
This is because l3mdev_l3_rcv() visit dev->l3mdev_ops after
ipvlan_l3s_unregister() assign the dev->l3mdev_ops to NULL. The process
like this:
(CPU1) | (CPU2)
l3mdev_l3_rcv() |
check dev->priv_flags: |
master = skb->dev; |
|
| ipvlan_l3s_unregister()
| set dev->priv_flags
| dev->l3mdev_ops = NULL;
|
visit master->l3mdev_ops |
To avoid this by do not set dev->l3mdev_ops when unregister l3s ipvlan.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmvnic: Use kernel helpers for hex dumps
Previously, when the driver was printing hex dumps, the buffer was cast
to an 8 byte long and printed using string formatters. If the buffer
size was not a multiple of 8 then a read buffer overflow was possible.
Therefore, create a new ibmvnic function that loops over a buffer and
calls hex_dump_to_buffer instead.
This patch address KASAN reports like the one below:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode
Following operations can trigger a warning[1]:
ip netns add ns1
ip netns exec ns1 ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-rr
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev bond0 xdp obj af_xdp_kern.o sec xdp
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set bond0 type bond mode broadcast
ip netns del ns1
When delete the namespace, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called to remove xdp
program on bond dev, and bond_xdp_set() will check the bond mode. If bond
mode is changed after attaching xdp program, the warning may occur.
Some bond modes (broadcast, etc.) do not support native xdp. Set bond mode
with xdp program attached is not good. Add check for xdp program when set
bond mode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vmxnet3: unregister xdp rxq info in the reset path
vmxnet3 does not unregister xdp rxq info in the
vmxnet3_reset_work() code path as vmxnet3_rq_destroy()
is not invoked in this code path. So, we get below message with a
backtrace.
Missing unregister, handled but fix driver
WARNING: CPU:48 PID: 500 at net/core/xdp.c:182
__xdp_rxq_info_reg+0x93/0xf0
This patch fixes the problem by moving the unregister
code of XDP from vmxnet3_rq_destroy() to vmxnet3_rq_cleanup().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: sja1105: fix kasan out-of-bounds warning in sja1105_table_delete_entry()
There are actually 2 problems:
- deleting the last element doesn't require the memmove of elements
[i + 1, end) over it. Actually, element i+1 is out of bounds.
- The memmove itself should move size - i - 1 elements, because the last
element is out of bounds.
The out-of-bounds element still remains out of bounds after being
accessed, so the problem is only that we touch it, not that it becomes
in active use. But I suppose it can lead to issues if the out-of-bounds
element is part of an unmapped page.
