Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: backend: make sure to NULL terminate stack buffer
Make sure to NULL terminate the buffer in
iio_backend_debugfs_write_reg() before passing it to sscanf(). It is a
stack variable so we should not assume it will 0 initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-scsi: Fix handling of multiple calls to vhost_scsi_set_endpoint
If vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called multiple times without a
vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint between them, we can hit multiple bugs
found by Haoran Zhang:
1. Use-after-free when no tpgs are found:
This fixes a use after free that occurs when vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is
called more than once and calls after the first call do not find any
tpgs to add to the vs_tpg. When vhost_scsi_set_endpoint first finds
tpgs to add to the vs_tpg array match=true, so we will do:
vhost_vq_set_backend(vq, vs_tpg);
...
kfree(vs->vs_tpg);
vs->vs_tpg = vs_tpg;
If vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called again and no tpgs are found
match=false so we skip the vhost_vq_set_backend call leaving the
pointer to the vs_tpg we then free via:
kfree(vs->vs_tpg);
vs->vs_tpg = vs_tpg;
If a scsi request is then sent we do:
vhost_scsi_handle_vq -> vhost_scsi_get_req -> vhost_vq_get_backend
which sees the vs_tpg we just did a kfree on.
2. Tpg dir removal hang:
This patch fixes an issue where we cannot remove a LIO/target layer
tpg (and structs above it like the target) dir due to the refcount
dropping to -1.
The problem is that if vhost_scsi_set_endpoint detects a tpg is already
in the vs->vs_tpg array or if the tpg has been removed so
target_depend_item fails, the undepend goto handler will do
target_undepend_item on all tpgs in the vs_tpg array dropping their
refcount to 0. At this time vs_tpg contains both the tpgs we have added
in the current vhost_scsi_set_endpoint call as well as tpgs we added in
previous calls which are also in vs->vs_tpg.
Later, when vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint runs it will do
target_undepend_item on all the tpgs in the vs->vs_tpg which will drop
their refcount to -1. Userspace will then not be able to remove the tpg
and will hang when it tries to do rmdir on the tpg dir.
3. Tpg leak:
This fixes a bug where we can leak tpgs and cause them to be
un-removable because the target name is overwritten when
vhost_scsi_set_endpoint is called multiple times but with different
target names.
The bug occurs if a user has called VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and setup
a vhost-scsi device to target/tpg mapping, then calls
VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT again with a new target name that has tpgs we
haven't seen before (target1 has tpg1 but target2 has tpg2). When this
happens we don't teardown the old target tpg mapping and just overwrite
the target name and the vs->vs_tpg array. Later when we do
vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint, we are passed in either target1 or target2's
name and we will only match that target's tpgs when we loop over the
vs->vs_tpg. We will then return from the function without doing
target_undepend_item on the tpgs.
Because of all these bugs, it looks like being able to call
vhost_scsi_set_endpoint multiple times was never supported. The major
user, QEMU, already has checks to prevent this use case. So to fix the
issues, this patch prevents vhost_scsi_set_endpoint from being called
if it's already successfully added tpgs. To add, remove or change the
tpg config or target name, you must do a vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint
first.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
w1: fix NULL pointer dereference in probe
The w1_uart_probe() function calls w1_uart_serdev_open() (which includes
devm_serdev_device_open()) before setting the client ops via
serdev_device_set_client_ops(). This ordering can trigger a NULL pointer
dereference in the serdev controller's receive_buf handler, as it assumes
serdev->ops is valid when SERPORT_ACTIVE is set.
This is similar to the issue fixed in commit 5e700b384ec1
("platform/chrome: cros_ec_uart: properly fix race condition") where
devm_serdev_device_open() was called before fully initializing the
device.
Fix the race by ensuring client ops are set before enabling the port via
w1_uart_serdev_open().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix mlx5_poll_one() cur_qp update flow
When cur_qp isn't NULL, in order to avoid fetching the QP from
the radix tree again we check if the next cqe QP is identical to
the one we already have.
The bug however is that we are checking if the QP is identical by
checking the QP number inside the CQE against the QP number inside the
mlx5_ib_qp, but that's wrong since the QP number from the CQE is from
FW so it should be matched against mlx5_core_qp which is our FW QP
number.
Otherwise we could use the wrong QP when handling a CQE which could
cause the kernel trace below.
This issue is mainly noticeable over QPs 0 & 1, since for now they are
the only QPs in our driver whereas the QP number inside mlx5_ib_qp
doesn't match the QP number inside mlx5_core_qp.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix array bounds error with may_goto
may_goto uses an additional 8 bytes on the stack, which causes the
interpreters[] array to go out of bounds when calculating index by
stack_size.
1. If a BPF program is rewritten, re-evaluate the stack size. For non-JIT
cases, reject loading directly.
2. For non-JIT cases, calculating interpreters[idx] may still cause
out-of-bounds array access, and just warn about it.
3. For jit_requested cases, the execution of bpf_func also needs to be
warned. So move the definition of function __bpf_prog_ret0_warn out of
the macro definition CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: make sure ubq->canceling is set when queue is frozen
Now ublk driver depends on `ubq->canceling` for deciding if the request
can be dispatched via uring_cmd & io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task().
Once ubq->canceling is set, the uring_cmd can be done via ublk_cancel_cmd()
and io_uring_cmd_done().
So set ubq->canceling when queue is frozen, this way makes sure that the
flag can be observed from ublk_queue_rq() reliably, and avoids
use-after-free on uring_cmd.

When a 9p tree was mounted with option 'posixacl', parent directory had a
default ACL set for its subdirectories, e.g.:
setfacl -m default:group:simpsons:rwx parentdir
then creating a subdirectory crashed 9p client, as v9fs_fid_add() call in

Fix this by simply swapping the sequence of these two calls in

v9fs_fid_add().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spufs: fix a leak in spufs_create_context()
Leak fixes back in 2008 missed one case - if we are trying to set affinity
and spufs_mkdir() fails, we need to drop the reference to neighbor.
