Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: bcm2835-camera: Initialise dev in v4l2_dev
Commit 42a2f6664e18 ("staging: vc04_services: Move global g_state to
vchiq_state") changed mmal_init to pass dev->v4l2_dev.dev to
vchiq_mmal_init, however nothing iniitialised dev->v4l2_dev, so we got
a NULL pointer dereference.
Set dev->v4l2_dev.dev during bcm2835_mmal_probe. The device pointer
could be passed into v4l2_device_register to set it, however that also
has other effects that would need additional changes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: mtk-pmic-keys - fix possible null pointer dereference
In mtk_pmic_keys_probe, the regs parameter is only set if the button is
parsed in the device tree. However, on hardware where the button is left
floating, that node will most likely be removed not to enable that
input. In that case the code will try to dereference a null pointer.
Let's use the regs struct instead as it is defined for all supported
platforms. Note that it is ok setting the key reg even if that latter is
disabled as the interrupt won't be enabled anyway.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: fix out-of-bounds access during multi-link element defragmentation
Currently during the multi-link element defragmentation process, the
multi-link element length added to the total IEs length when calculating
the length of remaining IEs after the multi-link element in
cfg80211_defrag_mle(). This could lead to out-of-bounds access if the
multi-link element or its corresponding fragment elements are the last
elements in the IEs buffer.
To address this issue, correctly calculate the remaining IEs length by
deducting the multi-link element end offset from total IEs end offset.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/pci: Fix missing check for zpci_create_device() error return
The zpci_create_device() function returns an error pointer that needs to
be checked before dereferencing it as a struct zpci_dev pointer. Add the
missing check in __clp_add() where it was missed when adding the
scan_list in the fixed commit. Simply not adding the device to the scan
list results in the previous behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix invalid context error in dml helper
[Why]
"BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" error.
after:
"drm/amd/display: Protect FPU in dml2_validate()/dml21_validate()"
The populate_dml_plane_cfg_from_plane_state() uses the GFP_KERNEL flag
for memory allocation, which shouldn't be used in atomic contexts.
The allocation is needed only for using another helper function
get_scaler_data_for_plane().
[How]
Modify helpers to pass a pointer to scaler_data within existing context,
eliminating the need for dynamic memory allocation/deallocation
and copying.

mm/huge_memory: fix dereferencing invalid pmd migration entry
When migrating a THP, concurrent access to the PMD migration entry during
a deferred split scan can lead to an invalid address access, as
illustrated below. To prevent this invalid access, it is necessary to
check the PMD migration entry and return early. In this context, there is
no need to use pmd_to_swp_entry and pfn_swap_entry_to_page to verify the
equality of the target folio. Since the PMD migration entry is locked, it
cannot be served as the target.
Mailing list discussion and explanation from Hugh Dickins: "An anon_vma
lookup points to a location which may contain the folio of interest, but
might instead contain another folio: and weeding out those other folios is
precisely what the "folio != pmd_folio((*pmd)" check (and the "risk of
replacing the wrong folio" comment a few lines above it) is for."

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Scrub packet on bpf_redirect_peer
When bpf_redirect_peer is used to redirect packets to a device in
another network namespace, the skb isn't scrubbed. That can lead skb
information from one namespace to be "misused" in another namespace.
As one example, this is causing Cilium to drop traffic when using
bpf_redirect_peer to redirect packets that just went through IPsec
decryption to a container namespace. The following pwru trace shows (1)
the packet path from the host's XFRM layer to the container's XFRM
layer where it's dropped and (2) the number of active skb extensions at
each function.

.active_extensions = (__u8)2,
In this case, there are no XFRM policies in the container's network
namespace so the drop is unexpected. When we decrypt the IPsec packet,
the XFRM state used for decryption is set in the skb extensions. This
information is preserved across the netns switch. When we reach the
XFRM policy check in the container's netns, __xfrm_policy_check drops
the packet with LINUX_MIB_XFRMINNOPOLS because a (container-side) XFRM
policy can't be found that matches the (host-side) XFRM state used for
decryption.
This patch fixes this by scrubbing the packet when using
bpf_redirect_peer, as is done on typical netns switches via veth
devices except skb->mark and skb->tstamp are not zeroed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memblock: Accept allocated memory before use in memblock_double_array()
When increasing the array size in memblock_double_array() and the slab
is not yet available, a call to memblock_find_in_range() is used to
reserve/allocate memory. However, the range returned may not have been
accepted, which can result in a crash when booting an SNP guest:

Mitigate this by calling accept_memory() on the memory range returned
before the slab is available.
Prior to v6.12, the accept_memory() interface used a 'start' and 'end'
parameter instead of 'start' and 'size', therefore the accept_memory()
call must be adjusted to specify 'start + size' for 'end' when applying
to kernels prior to v6.12.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix uninit-value for saddr in do_output_route4
syzbot reports for uninit-value for the saddr argument [1].
commit 4754957f04f5 ("ipvs: do not use random local source address for
tunnels") already implies that the input value of saddr
should be ignored but the code is still reading it which can prevent
to connect the route. Fix it by changing the argument to ret_saddr.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix memory leak in parse_lease_state()
The previous patch that added bounds check for create lease context
introduced a memory leak. When the bounds check fails, the function
returns NULL without freeing the previously allocated lease_ctx_info
structure.
This patch fixes the issue by adding kfree(lreq) before returning NULL
in both boundary check cases.
