Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/csd_lock: Change csdlock_debug from early_param to __setup
The csdlock_debug kernel-boot parameter is parsed by the
early_param() function csdlock_debug(). If set, csdlock_debug()
invokes static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait feature, which
triggers a panic on arm64 for kernels built with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n.
With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in
static_key_enable() and returns NULL, resulting in a NULL dereference
because mem_section is initialized only later in sparse_init().
This is also a problem for powerpc because early_param() functions
are invoked earlier than jump_label_init(), also resulting in
static_key_enable() failures. These failures cause the warning "static
key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init()".
Thus, early_param is too early for csd_lock_wait to run
static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm thin: fix use-after-free crash in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback
Fault inject on pool metadata device reports:

This can be easily reproduced using:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/thin bs=4k count=10
dmsetup load pool --table "0 20971520 thin-pool /dev/sda /dev/sdb 128 0 0"
If a metadata commit fails, the transaction will be aborted and the
metadata space maps will be destroyed. If a DM table reload then
happens for this failed thin-pool, a use-after-free will occur in
dm_sm_register_threshold_callback (called from
dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold).
Fix this by in dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold() by returning the
-EINVAL error if the thin-pool is in fail mode. Also fail pool_ctr()
with a new error message: "Error registering metadata threshold".
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: avoid invalid memory access via node_online(NUMA_NO_NODE)

after converting the type of the first argument (@nr, bit number)
of arch_test_bit() from `long` to `unsigned long`[0].
Under certain conditions (for example, when ACPI NUMA is disabled
via command line), pxm_to_node() can return %NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).
It is valid 'magic' number of NUMA node, but not valid bit number
to use in bitops.
node_online() eventually descends to test_bit() without checking
for the input, assuming it's on caller side (which might be good
for perf-critical tasks). There, -1 becomes %ULONG_MAX which leads
to an insane array index when calculating bit position in memory.
For now, add an explicit check for @node being not %NUMA_NO_NODE
before calling test_bit(). The actual logics didn't change here
at all.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spmi: trace: fix stack-out-of-bound access in SPMI tracing functions
trace_spmi_write_begin() and trace_spmi_read_end() both call
memcpy() with a length of "len + 1". This leads to one extra
byte being read beyond the end of the specified buffer. Fix
this out-of-bound memory access by using a length of "len"
instead.
Here is a KASAN log showing the issue:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-cpu-timers: Cleanup CPU timers before freeing them during exec
Commit 55e8c8eb2c7b ("posix-cpu-timers: Store a reference to a pid not a
task") started looking up tasks by PID when deleting a CPU timer.
When a non-leader thread calls execve, it will switch PIDs with the leader
process. Then, as it calls exit_itimers, posix_cpu_timer_del cannot find
the task because the timer still points out to the old PID.
That means that armed timers won't be disarmed, that is, they won't be
removed from the timerqueue_list. exit_itimers will still release their
memory, and when that list is later processed, it leads to a
use-after-free.
Clean up the timers from the de-threaded task before freeing them. This
prevents a reported use-after-free.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/kprobes: Update kcb status flag after singlestepping
Fix kprobes to update kcb (kprobes control block) status flag to
KPROBE_HIT_SSDONE even if the kp->post_handler is not set.
This bug may cause a kernel panic if another INT3 user runs right
after kprobes because kprobe_int3_handler() misunderstands the
INT3 is kprobe's single stepping INT3.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: s3fb: Check the size of screen before memset_io()
In the function s3fb_set_par(), the value of 'screen_size' is
calculated by the user input. If the user provides the improper value,
the value of 'screen_size' may larger than 'info->screen_size', which
may cause the following bug:

The warning is caused by reading conf->max_nr_stripes in raid_status. The
code in raid_status reads mddev->private, casts it to struct r5conf and
reads the entry max_nr_stripes.
However, if we have different raid type than 4/5/6, mddev->private
doesn't point to struct r5conf; it may point to struct r0conf, struct
r1conf, struct r10conf or struct mpconf. If we cast a pointer to one
of these structs to struct r5conf, we will be reading invalid memory
and KASAN warns about it.
Fix this bug by reading struct r5conf only if raid type is 4, 5 or 6.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm raid: fix address sanitizer warning in raid_resume
There is a KASAN warning in raid_resume when running the lvm test
lvconvert-raid.sh. The reason for the warning is that mddev->raid_disks
is greater than rs->raid_disks, so the loop touches one entry beyond
the allocated length.
