Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers:md:fix a potential use-after-free bug
In line 2884, "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" drops the reference to sh and
may cause sh to be released. However, sh is subsequently used in lines
2886 "if (sh->batch_head && sh != sh->batch_head)". This may result in an
use-after-free bug.
It can be fixed by moving "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" to the bottom of
the function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: dw-axi-dmac: ignore interrupt if no descriptor
If the channel has no descriptor and the interrupt is raised then the
kernel will OOPS. Check the result of vchan_next_desc() in the handler
axi_chan_block_xfer_complete() to avoid the error happening.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: dw-axi-dmac: do not print NULL LLI during error
During debugging we have seen an issue where axi_chan_dump_lli()
is passed a NULL LLI pointer which ends up causing an OOPS due
to trying to get fields from it. Simply print NULL LLI and exit
to avoid this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl: Fix a memory leak in an error handling path
A bitmap_zalloc() must be balanced by a corresponding bitmap_free() in the
error handling path of afu_allocate_irqs().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
habanalabs/gaudi: fix shift out of bounds
When validating NIC queues, queue offset calculation must be
performed only for NIC queues.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix possible memory leak when failing to issue CMF WQE
There is no corresponding free routine if lpfc_sli4_issue_wqe fails to
issue the CMF WQE in lpfc_issue_cmf_sync_wqe.
If ret_val is non-zero, then free the iocbq request structure.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
venus: pm_helpers: Fix warning in OPP during probe
Fix the following WARN triggered during Venus driver probe on

The fix is re-ordering the code related to OPP core. The OPP core
expects all configuration options to be provided before the OPP
table is added.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/64: Init jump labels before parse_early_param()
On 64-bit, calling jump_label_init() in setup_feature_keys() is too
late because static keys may be used in subroutines of
parse_early_param() which is again subroutine of early_init_devtree().
For example booting with "threadirqs":
static_key_enable_cpuslocked(): static key '0xc000000002953260' used before call to jump_label_init()
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/jump_label.c:166 static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xfc/0x120
...

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

NAT entry and nat bitmap can be inconsistent, e.g. one nid is free
in nat bitmap, and blkaddr in its NAT entry is not NULL_ADDR, it
may trigger BUG_ON() in f2fs_new_node_page(), fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/gup: fix FOLL_FORCE COW security issue and remove FOLL_COW
Ever since the Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) security issue happened, we know
that FOLL_FORCE can be possibly dangerous, especially if there are races
that can be exploited by user space.
Right now, it would be sufficient to have some code that sets a PTE of a
R/O-mapped shared page dirty, in order for it to erroneously become
writable by FOLL_FORCE. The implications of setting a write-protected PTE
dirty might not be immediately obvious to everyone.
And in fact ever since commit 9ae0f87d009c ("mm/shmem: unconditionally set
pte dirty in mfill_atomic_install_pte"), we can use UFFDIO_CONTINUE to map
a shmem page R/O while marking the pte dirty. This can be used by
unprivileged user space to modify tmpfs/shmem file content even if the
user does not have write permissions to the file, and to bypass memfd
write sealing -- Dirty COW restricted to tmpfs/shmem (CVE-2022-2590).
To fix such security issues for good, the insight is that we really only
need that fancy retry logic (FOLL_COW) for COW mappings that are not
writable (!VM_WRITE). And in a COW mapping, we really only broke COW if
we have an exclusive anonymous page mapped. If we have something else
mapped, or the mapped anonymous page might be shared (!PageAnonExclusive),
we have to trigger a write fault to break COW. If we don't find an
exclusive anonymous page when we retry, we have to trigger COW breaking
once again because something intervened.
Let's move away from this mandatory-retry + dirty handling and rely on our
PageAnonExclusive() flag for making a similar decision, to use the same
COW logic as in other kernel parts here as well. In case we stumble over
a PTE in a COW mapping that does not map an exclusive anonymous page, COW
was not properly broken and we have to trigger a fake write-fault to break
COW.
Just like we do in can_change_pte_writable() added via commit 64fe24a3e05e
("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages
when changing protection") and commit 76aefad628aa ("mm/mprotect: fix
soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable()"), take care of softdirty
and uffd-wp manually.
For example, a write() via /proc/self/mem to a uffd-wp-protected range has
to fail instead of silently granting write access and bypassing the
userspace fault handler. Note that FOLL_FORCE is not only used for debug
access, but also triggered by applications without debug intentions, for
example, when pinning pages via RDMA.
This fixes CVE-2022-2590. Note that only x86_64 and aarch64 are
affected, because only those support CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_MINOR.
Fortunately, FOLL_COW is no longer required to handle FOLL_FORCE. So
let's just get rid of it.
Thanks to Nadav Amit for pointing out that the pte_dirty() check in
FOLL_FORCE code is problematic and might be exploitable.
Note 1: We don't check for the PTE being dirty because it doesn't matter
for making a "was COWed" decision anymore, and whoever modifies the
page has to set the page dirty either way.
Note 2: Kernels before extended uffd-wp support and before
PageAnonExclusive (< 5.19) can simply revert the problematic
commit instead and be safe regarding UFFDIO_CONTINUE. A backport to
v5.19 requires minor adjustments due to lack of
vma_soft_dirty_enabled().
