Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware_loader: Fix memory leak in firmware upload
In the case of firmware-upload, an instance of struct fw_upload is
allocated in firmware_upload_register(). This data needs to be freed
in fw_dev_release(). Create a new fw_upload_free() function in
sysfs_upload.c to handle the firmware-upload specific memory frees
and incorporate the missing kfree call for the fw_upload structure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-buf/dma-resv: check if the new fence is really later
Previously when we added a fence to a dma_resv object we always
assumed the the newer than all the existing fences.
With Jason's work to add an UAPI to explicit export/import that's not
necessary the case any more. So without this check we would allow
userspace to force the kernel into an use after free error.
Since the change is very small and defensive it's probably a good
idea to backport this to stable kernels as well just in case others
are using the dma_resv object in the same way.

This turned out not to be an error in usb-storage but rather a nested
device reset attempt. That is, as the rtl8712 driver was being
unbound from a composite device in preparation for an unrelated USB
reset (that driver does not have pre_reset or post_reset callbacks),
its ->remove routine called usb_reset_device() -- thus nesting one
reset call within another.
Performing a reset as part of disconnect processing is a questionable
practice at best. However, the bug report points out that the USB
core does not have any protection against nested resets. Adding a
reset_in_progress flag and testing it will prevent such errors in the
future.

The reason for the warning is clear enough; the driver sends an
unusual read request on endpoint 0 but does not set the USB_DIR_IN bit
in the bRequestType field.
More importantly, the whole situation can be avoided and the driver
simplified by converting it over to the relatively new
usb_control_msg_recv() and usb_control_msg_send() routines. That's
what this fix does.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: fix small mempool leak in SMB2_negotiate()
In some cases of failure (dialect mismatches) in SMB2_negotiate(), after
the request is sent, the checks would return -EIO when they should be
rather setting rc = -EIO and jumping to neg_exit to free the response
buffer from mempool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix UAF of ref->proc caused by race condition
A transaction of type BINDER_TYPE_WEAK_HANDLE can fail to increment the
reference for a node. In this case, the target proc normally releases
the failed reference upon close as expected. However, if the target is
dying in parallel the call will race with binder_deferred_release(), so
the target could have released all of its references by now leaving the
cleanup of the new failed reference unhandled.
The transaction then ends and the target proc gets released making the
ref->proc now a dangling pointer. Later on, ref->node is closed and we
attempt to take spin_lock(&ref->proc->inner_lock), which leads to the
use-after-free bug reported below. Let's fix this by cleaning up the
failed reference on the spot instead of relying on the target to do so.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: n_gsm: add sanity check for gsm->receive in gsm_receive_buf()
A null pointer dereference can happen when attempting to access the
"gsm->receive()" function in gsmld_receive_buf(). Currently, the code
assumes that gsm->recieve is only called after MUX activation.
Since the gsmld_receive_buf() function can be accessed without the need to
initialize the MUX, the gsm->receive() function will not be set and a
NULL pointer dereference will occur.
Fix this by avoiding the call to "gsm->receive()" in case the function is
not initialized by adding a sanity check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Fix UAF in ieee80211_scan_rx()
ieee80211_scan_rx() tries to access scan_req->flags after a
null check, but a UAF is observed when the scan is completed
and __ieee80211_scan_completed() executes, which then calls
cfg80211_scan_done() leading to the freeing of scan_req.
Since scan_req is rcu_dereference()'d, prevent the racing in
__ieee80211_scan_completed() by ensuring that from mac80211's
POV it is no longer accessed from an RCU read critical section
before we call cfg80211_scan_done().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
alloc_tag: allocate percpu counters for module tags dynamically
When a module gets unloaded it checks whether any of its tags are still in
use and if so, we keep the memory containing module's allocation tags
alive until all tags are unused. However percpu counters referenced by
the tags are freed by free_module(). This will lead to UAF if the memory
allocated by a module is accessed after module was unloaded.
To fix this we allocate percpu counters for module allocation tags
dynamically and we keep it alive for tags which are still in use after
module unloading. This also removes the requirement of a larger
PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE when memory allocation profiling is enabled because
percpu memory for counters does not need to be reserved anymore.

If the 'buf' array received from the user contains an empty string, the
