Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: handle failure of nfs_get_lock_context in unlock path
When memory is insufficient, the allocation of nfs_lock_context in
nfs_get_lock_context() fails and returns -ENOMEM. If we mistakenly treat
an nfs4_unlockdata structure (whose l_ctx member has been set to -ENOMEM)
as valid and proceed to execute rpc_run_task(), this will trigger a NULL
pointer dereference in nfs4_locku_prepare. For example:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In the function rxe_create_cq, when rxe_cq_from_init fails, the function
rxe_cleanup will be called to handle the allocated resources. In fact,
some memory resources have already been freed in the function
rxe_cq_from_init. Thus, this problem will occur.
The solution is to let rxe_cleanup do all the work.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: ad7606: check for NULL before calling sw_mode_config()
Check that the sw_mode_config function pointer is not NULL before
calling it. Not all buses define this callback, which resulted in a NULL
pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: max20086: fix invalid memory access
max20086_parse_regulators_dt() calls of_regulator_match() using an
array of struct of_regulator_match allocated on the stack for the
matches argument.
of_regulator_match() calls devm_of_regulator_put_matches(), which calls
devres_alloc() to allocate a struct devm_of_regulator_matches which will
be de-allocated using devm_of_regulator_put_matches().
struct devm_of_regulator_matches is populated with the stack allocated
matches array.
If the device fails to probe, devm_of_regulator_put_matches() will be
called and will try to call of_node_put() on that stack pointer,
generating the following dmesg entries:
max20086 6-0028: Failed to read DEVICE_ID reg: -121
kobject: '\xc0$\xa5\x03' (000000002cebcb7a): is not initialized, yet
kobject_put() is being called.
Followed by a stack trace matching the call flow described above.
Switch to allocating the matches array using devm_kcalloc() to
avoid accessing the stack pointer long after it's out of scope.
This also has the advantage of allowing multiple max20086 to probe
without overriding the data stored inside the global of_regulator_match.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS/localio: Fix a race in nfs_local_open_fh()
Once the clp->cl_uuid.lock has been dropped, another CPU could come in
and free the struct nfsd_file that was just added. To prevent that from
happening, take the RCU read lock before dropping the spin lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kasan: avoid sleepable page allocation from atomic context
apply_to_pte_range() enters the lazy MMU mode and then invokes
kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() callback on each page table walk iteration.
However, the callback can go into sleep when trying to allocate a single
page, e.g. if an architecutre disables preemption on lazy MMU mode enter.
On s390 if make arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_enable() and
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_disable(), such crash occurs:

Instead of allocating single pages per-PTE, bulk-allocate the shadow
memory prior to applying kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() callback on a page
range.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: fix memory leak in error handling path of idxd_alloc
Memory allocated for idxd is not freed if an error occurs during
idxd_alloc(). To fix it, free the allocated memory in the reverse order
of allocation before exiting the function in case of an error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bpf: abort dispatch if device destroyed
The current HID bpf implementation assumes no output report/request will
go through it after hid_bpf_destroy_device() has been called. This leads
to a bug that unplugging certain types of HID devices causes a cleaned-
up SRCU to be accessed. The bug was previously a hidden failure until a
recent x86 percpu change [1] made it access not-present pages.
The bug will be triggered if the conditions below are met:
A) a device under the driver has some LEDs on
B) hid_ll_driver->request() is uninplemented (e.g., logitech-djreceiver)
If condition A is met, hidinput_led_worker() is always scheduled *after*
hid_bpf_destroy_device().
hid_destroy_device
` hid_bpf_destroy_device
` cleanup_srcu_struct(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` hid_remove_device
` ...
` led_classdev_unregister
` led_trigger_set(led_cdev, NULL)
` led_set_brightness(led_cdev, LED_OFF)
` ...
` input_inject_event
` input_event_dispose
` hidinput_input_event
` schedule_work(&hid->led_work) [hidinput_led_worker]
This is fine when condition B is not met, where hidinput_led_worker()
calls hid_ll_driver->request(). This is the case for most HID drivers,
which implement it or use the generic one from usbhid. The driver itself
or an underlying driver will then abort processing the request.
Otherwise, hidinput_led_worker() tries hid_hw_output_report() and leads
to the bug.
hidinput_led_worker
` hid_hw_output_report
` dispatch_hid_bpf_output_report
` srcu_read_lock(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` srcu_read_unlock(&hdev->bpf.srcu, idx)
The bug has existed since the introduction [2] of
dispatch_hid_bpf_output_report(). However, the same bug also exists in
dispatch_hid_bpf_raw_requests(), and I've reproduced (no visible effect
because of the lack of [1], but confirmed bpf.destroyed == 1) the bug
against the commit (i.e., the Fixes:) introducing the function. This is
because hidinput_led_worker() falls back to hid_hw_raw_request() when
hid_ll_driver->output_report() is uninplemented (e.g., logitech-
djreceiver).
hidinput_led_worker
` hid_hw_output_report: -ENOSYS
` hid_hw_raw_request
` dispatch_hid_bpf_raw_requests
` srcu_read_lock(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` srcu_read_unlock(&hdev->bpf.srcu, idx)
Fix the issue by returning early in the two mentioned functions if
hid_bpf has been marked as destroyed. Though
dispatch_hid_bpf_device_event() handles input events, and there is no
evidence that it may be called after the destruction, the same check, as
a safety net, is also added to it to maintain the consistency among all
dispatch functions.
The impact of the bug on other architectures is unclear. Even if it acts
as a hidden failure, this is still dangerous because it corrupts
whatever is on the address calculated by SRCU. Thus, CC'ing the stable
list.
[1]: commit 9d7de2aa8b41 ("x86/percpu/64: Use relative percpu offsets")
[2]: commit 9286675a2aed ("HID: bpf: add HID-BPF hooks for
hid_hw_output_report")
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/eventpoll: fix endless busy loop after timeout has expired
After commit 0a65bc27bd64 ("eventpoll: Set epoll timeout if it's in
the future"), the following program would immediately enter a busy
loop in the kernel:
```
int main() {
int e = epoll_create1(0);
struct epoll_event event = {.events = EPOLLIN};
epoll_ctl(e, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 0, &event);
const struct timespec timeout = {.tv_nsec = 1};
epoll_pwait2(e, &event, 1, &timeout, 0);
}
```
This happens because the given (non-zero) timeout of 1 nanosecond
usually expires before ep_poll() is entered and then
ep_schedule_timeout() returns false, but `timed_out` is never set
because the code line that sets it is skipped. This quickly turns
into a soft lockup, RCU stalls and deadlocks, inflicting severe
headaches to the whole system.
When the timeout has expired, we don't need to schedule a hrtimer, but
we should set the `timed_out` variable. Therefore, I suggest moving
the ep_schedule_timeout() check into the `timed_out` expression
instead of skipping it.
brauner: Note that there was an earlier fix by Joe Damato in response to
my bug report in [1].
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tls: fix kernel panic when alloc_page failed
We cannot set frag_list to NULL pointer when alloc_page failed.
It will be used in tls_strp_check_queue_ok when the next time
tls_strp_read_sock is called.
This is because we don't reset full_len in tls_strp_flush_anchor_copy()
so the recv path will try to continue handling the partial record
on the next call but we dettached the rcvq from the frag list.
Alternative fix would be to reset full_len.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
