Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/huc: Fix fence not released on early probe errors
HuC delayed loading fence, introduced with commit 27536e03271da
("drm/i915/huc: track delayed HuC load with a fence"), is registered with
object tracker early on driver probe but unregistered only from driver
remove, which is not called on early probe errors. Since its memory is
allocated under devres, then released anyway, it may happen to be
allocated again to the fence and reused on future driver probes, resulting
in kernel warnings that taint the kernel:

That scenario is most easily reproducible with
igt@i915_module_load@reload-with-fault-injection.
Fix the issue by moving the cleanup step to driver release path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: libwx: handle page_pool_dev_alloc_pages error
page_pool_dev_alloc_pages could return NULL. There was a WARN_ON(!page)
but it would still proceed to use the NULL pointer and then crash.
This is similar to commit 001ba0902046
("net: fec: handle page_pool_dev_alloc_pages error").
This is found by our static analysis tool KNighter.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: explicitly disallow disconnect
syzbot discovered that it can disconnect a TLS socket and then
run into all sort of unexpected corner cases. I have a vague
recollection of Eric pointing this out to us a long time ago.
Supporting disconnect is really hard, for one thing if offload
is enabled we'd need to wait for all packets to be _acked_.
Disconnect is not commonly used, disallow it.
The immediate problem syzbot run into is the warning in the strp,
but that's just the easiest bug to trigger:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix memory leak in tipc_link_xmit
In case the backlog transmit queue for system-importance messages is overloaded,
tipc_link_xmit() returns -ENOBUFS but the skb list is not purged. This leads to
memory leak and failure when a skb is allocated.
This commit fixes this issue by purging the skb list before tipc_link_xmit()
returns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: pata_pxa: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pxa_ata_probe()
devm_ioremap() returns NULL on error. Currently, pxa_ata_probe() does
not check for this case, which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL check after devm_ioremap() to prevent this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: fix handling recovery & reissue in ublk_abort_queue()
Commit 8284066946e6 ("ublk: grab request reference when the request is handled
by userspace") doesn't grab request reference in case of recovery reissue.
Then the request can be requeued & re-dispatch & failed when canceling
uring command.
If it is one zc request, the request can be freed before io_uring
returns the zc buffer back, then cause kernel panic:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Avoid memory leak while enabling statistics
Driver uses monitor destination rings for extended statistics mode and
standalone monitor mode. In extended statistics mode, TLVs are parsed from
the buffer received from the monitor destination ring and assigned to the
ppdu_info structure to update per-packet statistics. In standalone monitor
mode, along with per-packet statistics, the packet data (payload) is
captured, and the driver updates per MSDU to mac80211.
When the AP interface is enabled, only extended statistics mode is
activated. As part of enabling monitor rings for collecting statistics,
the driver subscribes to HAL_RX_MPDU_START TLV in the filter
configuration. This TLV is received from the monitor destination ring, and
kzalloc for the mon_mpdu object occurs, which is not freed, leading to a
memory leak. The kzalloc for the mon_mpdu object is only required while
enabling the standalone monitor interface. This causes a memory leak while
enabling extended statistics mode in the driver.
Fix this memory leak by removing the kzalloc for the mon_mpdu object in
the HAL_RX_MPDU_START TLV handling. Additionally, remove the standalone
monitor mode handlings in the HAL_MON_BUF_ADDR and HAL_RX_MSDU_END TLVs.
These TLV tags will be handled properly when enabling standalone monitor
mode in the future.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: hibernate: Avoid deadlock in hibernate_compressor_param_set()
syzbot reported a deadlock in lock_system_sleep() (see below).
The write operation to "/sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor"
conflicts with the registration of ieee80211 device, resulting in a deadlock
when attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex under param_lock.
To avoid this deadlock, change hibernate_compressor_param_set() to use
mutex_trylock() for attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex and
return -EBUSY when it fails.
Task flags need not be saved or adjusted before calling
mutex_trylock(&system_transition_mutex) because the caller is not going
to end up waiting for this mutex and if it runs concurrently with system
suspend in progress, it will be frozen properly when it returns to user
space.
syzbot report:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/dwc_pcie: fix duplicate pci_dev devices
During platform_device_register, wrongly using struct device
pci_dev as platform_data caused a kmemdup copy of pci_dev. Worse
still, accessing the duplicated device leads to list corruption as its
mutex content (e.g., list, magic) remains the same as the original.
