Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix race between cache write completion and ALL_QUEUED being set
When netfslib is issuing subrequests, the subrequests start processing
immediately and may complete before we reach the end of the issuing
function. At the end of the issuing function we set NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED
to indicate to the collector that we aren't going to issue any more subreqs
and that it can do the final notifications and cleanup.
Now, this isn't a problem if the request is synchronous
(NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION is unset) as the result collection will be
done in-thread and we're guaranteed an opportunity to run the collector.
However, if the request is asynchronous, collection is primarily triggered
by the termination of subrequests queuing it on a workqueue. Now, a race
can occur here if the app thread sets ALL_QUEUED after the last subrequest
terminates.
This can happen most easily with the copy2cache code (as used by Ceph)
where, in the collection routine of a read request, an asynchronous write
request is spawned to copy data to the cache. Folios are added to the
write request as they're unlocked, but there may be a delay before
ALL_QUEUED is set as the write subrequests may complete before we get
there.
If all the write subreqs have finished by the ALL_QUEUED point, no further
events happen and the collection never happens, leaving the request
hanging.
Fix this by queuing the collector after setting ALL_QUEUED. This is a bit
heavy-handed and it may be sufficient to do it only if there are no extant
subreqs.
Also add a tracepoint to cross-reference both requests in a copy-to-request
operation and add a trace to the netfs_rreq tracepoint to indicate the
setting of ALL_QUEUED.

tracing/osnoise: Fix crash in timerlat_dump_stack()
We have observed kernel panics when using timerlat with stack saving,
with the following dmesg output:

__timerlat_dump_stack() constructs the ftrace stack entry like this:
struct stack_entry *entry;
...
memcpy(&entry->caller, fstack->calls, size);
entry->size = fstack->nr_entries;
Since commit e7186af7fb26 ("tracing: Add back FORTIFY_SOURCE logic to
kernel_stack event structure"), struct stack_entry marks its caller
field with __counted_by(size). At the time of the memcpy, entry->size
contains garbage from the ringbuffer, which under some circumstances is
zero, triggering a kernel panic by buffer overflow.
Populate the size field before the memcpy so that the out-of-bounds
check knows the correct size. This is analogous to
__ftrace_trace_stack().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: do not bypass hid_hw_raw_request
hid_hw_raw_request() is actually useful to ensure the provided buffer
and length are valid. Directly calling in the low level transport driver
function bypassed those checks and allowed invalid paramto be used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: ensure the allocated report buffer can contain the reserved report ID
When the report ID is not used, the low level transport drivers expect
the first byte to be 0. However, currently the allocated buffer not
account for that extra byte, meaning that instead of having 8 guaranteed
bytes for implement to be working, we only have 7.

dm-bufio: fix sched in atomic context
If "try_verify_in_tasklet" is set for dm-verity, DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP
is enabled for dm-bufio. However, when bufio tries to evict buffers, there
is a chance to trigger scheduling in spin_lock_bh, the following warning
is hit:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: configfs: Fix OOB read on empty string write
When writing an empty string to either 'qw_sign' or 'landingPage'
sysfs attributes, the store functions attempt to access page[l - 1]
before validating that the length 'l' is greater than zero.
This patch fixes the vulnerability by adding a check at the beginning
of os_desc_qw_sign_store() and webusb_landingPage_store() to handle
the zero-length input case gracefully by returning immediately.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: das6402: Fix bit shift out of bounds
When checking for a supported IRQ number, the following test is used:
/* IRQs 2,3,5,6,7, 10,11,15 are valid for "enhanced" mode */
if ((1 << it->options[1]) & 0x8cec) {
However, `it->options[i]` is an unchecked `int` value from userspace, so
the shift amount could be negative or out of bounds. Fix the test by
requiring `it->options[1]` to be within bounds before proceeding with
the original test. Valid `it->options[1]` values that select the IRQ
will be in the range [1,15]. The value 0 explicitly disables the use of
interrupts.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: backend: fix out-of-bound write
The buffer is set to 80 character. If a caller write more characters,
count is truncated to the max available space in "simple_write_to_buffer".
But afterwards a string terminator is written to the buffer at offset count
without boundary check. The zero termination is written OUT-OF-BOUND.
Add a check that the given buffer is smaller then the buffer to prevent.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: fxls8962af: Fix use after free in fxls8962af_fifo_flush
fxls8962af_fifo_flush() uses indio_dev->active_scan_mask (with
iio_for_each_active_channel()) without making sure the indio_dev
stays in buffer mode.
There is a race if indio_dev exits buffer mode in the middle of the
interrupt that flushes the fifo. Fix this by calling
synchronize_irq() to ensure that no interrupt is currently running when
disabling buffer mode.
