Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa_sim_blk: set number of address spaces and virtqueue groups
Commit bda324fd037a ("vdpasim: control virtqueue support") added two
new fields (nas, ngroups) to vdpasim_dev_attr, but we forgot to
initialize them for vdpa_sim_blk.
When creating a new vdpa_sim_blk device this causes the kernel
to panic in this way:
$ vdpa dev add mgmtdev vdpasim_blk name blk0
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030
...
RIP: 0010:vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx+0x41/0x220 [vhost_iotlb]
...
Call Trace:
<TASK>
vhost_iotlb_add_range+0x11/0x800 [vhost_iotlb]
vdpasim_map_range+0x91/0xd0 [vdpa_sim]
vdpasim_alloc_coherent+0x56/0x90 [vdpa_sim]
...
This happens because vdpasim->iommu[0] is not initialized when
dev_attr.nas is 0.
Let's fix this issue by initializing both (nas, ngroups) to 1 for
vdpa_sim_blk.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: don't leak snap_rwsem in handle_cap_grant
When handle_cap_grant is called on an IMPORT op, then the snap_rwsem is
held and the function is expected to release it before returning. It
currently fails to do that in all cases which could lead to a deadlock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-af: Fix mcam entry resource leak
The teardown sequence in FLR handler returns if no NIX LF
is attached to PF/VF because it indicates that graceful
shutdown of resources already happened. But there is a
chance of all allocated MCAM entries not being freed by
PF/VF. Hence free mcam entries even in case of detached LF.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: nomadik: Fix refcount leak in nmk_pinctrl_dt_subnode_to_map
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak."
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

The issue seems similar to commit 90b3b339364c ("net: hisilicon: Fix a BUG
trigered by wrong bytes_compl") and potentially introduced by commit
b38c83dd0866 ("bgmac: simplify tx ring index handling").
If there is an RX interrupt between setting ring->end
and netdev_sent_queue() we can hit the BUG_ON as bgmac_dma_tx_free()
can miscalculate the queue size while called from bgmac_poll().
The machine which triggered the BUG runs a v4.14 RT kernel - but the issue
seems present in mainline too.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pci: Fix get_phb_number() locking
The recent change to get_phb_number() causes a DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
warning on some systems:

This is because pcibios_alloc_controller() holds hose_spinlock but
of_alias_get_id() takes of_mutex which can sleep.
The hose_spinlock protects the phb_bitmap, and also the hose_list, but
it doesn't need to be held while get_phb_number() calls the OF routines,
because those are only looking up information in the device tree.
So fix it by having get_phb_number() take the hose_spinlock itself, only
where required, and then dropping the lock before returning.
pcibios_alloc_controller() then needs to take the lock again before the
list_add() but that's safe, the order of the list is not important.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sunrpc: fix potential memory leaks in rpc_sysfs_xprt_state_change()
The issue happens on some error handling paths. When the function
fails to grab the object `xprt`, it simply returns 0, forgetting to
decrease the reference count of another object `xps`, which is
increased by rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt_switch(), causing refcount
leaks. Also, the function forgets to check whether `xps` is valid
before using it, which may result in NULL-dereferencing issues.
Fix it by adding proper error handling code when either `xprt` or
`xps` is NULL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mv88e6060: prevent crash on an unused port
If the port isn't a CPU port nor a user port, 'cpu_dp'
is a null pointer and a crash happened on dereferencing
it in mv88e6060_setup_port():

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: possible module reference underflow in error path
dst->ops is set on when nft_expr_clone() fails, but module refcount has
not been bumped yet, therefore nft_expr_destroy() leads to module
reference underflow.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: DPCM: Don't pick up BE without substream
When DPCM tries to add valid BE connections at dpcm_add_paths(), it
doesn't check whether the picked BE actually supports for the given
stream direction. Due to that, when an asymmetric BE stream is
present, it picks up wrongly and this may result in a NULL dereference
at a later point where the code assumes the existence of a
corresponding BE substream.
This patch adds the check for the presence of the substream for the
target BE for avoiding the problem above.
Note that we have already some fix for non-existing BE substream at
commit 6246f283d5e0 ("ASoC: dpcm: skip missing substream while
applying symmetry"). But the code path we've hit recently is rather
happening before the previous fix. So this patch tries to fix at
picking up a BE instead of parsing BE lists.
