Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: Fix UAF when reloading module
hda_generic_machine_select() appends -idisp to the tplg filename by
allocating a new string with devm_kasprintf(), then stores the string
right back into the global variable snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines.
When the module is unloaded, this memory is freed, resulting in a global
variable pointing to freed memory. Reloading the module then triggers
a use-after-free:

Fix it by copying the match array with devm_kmemdup_array() before we
modify it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
espintcp: fix skb leaks
A few error paths are missing a kfree_skb.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
__legitimize_mnt(): check for MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT should be under mount_lock
... or we risk stealing final mntput from sync umount - raising mnt_count
after umount(2) has verified that victim is not busy, but before it
has set MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT; in that case __legitimize_mnt() doesn't see
that it's safe to quietly undo mnt_count increment and leaves dropping
the reference to caller, where it'll be a full-blown mntput().
Check under mount_lock is needed; leaving the current one done before
taking that makes no sense - it's nowhere near common enough to bother
with.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: avoid NULL pointer dereference if no valid csum tree
[BUG]
When trying read-only scrub on a btrfs with rescue=idatacsums mount
option, it will crash with the following call trace:

[CAUSE]
Mount option "rescue=idatacsums" will completely skip loading the csum
tree, so that any data read will not find any data csum thus we will
ignore data checksum verification.
Normally call sites utilizing csum tree will check the fs state flag
NO_DATA_CSUMS bit, but unfortunately scrub does not check that bit at all.
This results in scrub to call btrfs_search_slot() on a NULL pointer
and triggered above crash.
[FIX]
Check both extent and csum tree root before doing any tree search.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: copy_verifier_state() should copy 'loop_entry' field
The bpf_verifier_state.loop_entry state should be copied by
copy_verifier_state(). Otherwise, .loop_entry values from unrelated
states would poison env->cur_state.
Additionally, env->stack should not contain any states with
.loop_entry != NULL. The states in env->stack are yet to be verified,
while .loop_entry is set for states that reached an equivalent state.
This means that env->cur_state->loop_entry should always be NULL after
pop_stack().
See the selftest in the next commit for an example of the program that
is not safe yet is accepted by verifier w/o this fix.
This change has some verification performance impact for selftests:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: pktgen: fix access outside of user given buffer in pktgen_thread_write()
Honour the user given buffer size for the strn_len() calls (otherwise
strn_len() will access memory outside of the user given buffer).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: fix debug actions order
The order of actions taken for debug was implemented incorrectly.
Now we implemented the dump split and do the FW reset only in the
middle of the dump (rather than the FW killing itself on error.)
As a result, some of the actions taken when applying the config
will now crash the device, so we need to fix the order.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fred: Fix system hang during S4 resume with FRED enabled
Upon a wakeup from S4, the restore kernel starts and initializes the
FRED MSRs as needed from its perspective. It then loads a hibernation
image, including the image kernel, and attempts to load image pages
directly into their original page frames used before hibernation unless
those frames are currently in use. Once all pages are moved to their
original locations, it jumps to a "trampoline" page in the image kernel.
At this point, the image kernel takes control, but the FRED MSRs still
contain values set by the restore kernel, which may differ from those
set by the image kernel before hibernation. Therefore, the image kernel
must ensure the FRED MSRs have the same values as before hibernation.
Since these values depend only on the location of the kernel text and
data, they can be recomputed from scratch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_ring: Fix data race by tagging event_triggered as racy for KCSAN
syzbot reports a data-race when accessing the event_triggered, here is the
simplified stack when the issue occurred:

==================================================================
When the data race occurs, the function virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() sets
event_triggered to false, and virtqueue_disable_cb_split/packed() reads it
as false due to the race condition. Since event_triggered is an unreliable
hint used for optimization, this should only cause the driver temporarily
suggest that the device not send an interrupt notification when the event
index is used.
Fix this KCSAN reported data-race issue by explicitly tagging the access as
data_racy.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

There is a potential race between __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() and
replace_free_hugepage_folios():
CPU1 CPU2
__update_and_free_hugetlb_folio replace_free_hugepage_folios
folio_test_hugetlb(folio)
-- It's still hugetlb folio.
__folio_clear_hugetlb(folio)
hugetlb_free_folio(folio)
h = folio_hstate(folio)
-- Here, h is NULL pointer
When the above race condition occurs, folio_hstate(folio) returns NULL,
and subsequent access to this NULL pointer will cause the system to crash.
To resolve this issue, execute folio_hstate(folio) under the protection
of the hugetlb_lock lock, ensuring that folio_hstate(folio) does not
return NULL.
