Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: fix memory leak of bio integrity
If nvmet receives commands with metadata there is a continuous memory
leak of kmalloc-128 slab or more precisely bio->bi_integrity.
Since commit bf4c89fc8797 ("block: don't call bio_uninit from bio_endio")
each user of bio_init has to use bio_uninit as well. Otherwise the bio
integrity is not getting free. Nvmet uses bio_init for inline bios.
Uninit the inline bio to complete deallocation of integrity in bio.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath6kl: remove WARN on bad firmware input
If the firmware gives bad input, that's nothing to do with
the driver's stack at this point etc., so the WARN_ON()
doesn't add any value. Additionally, this is one of the
top syzbot reports now. Just print a message, and as an
added bonus, print the sizes too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: cpu_ops_sbi: Use static array for boot_data
Since commit 6b9f29b81b15 ("riscv: Enable pcpu page first chunk
allocator"), if NUMA is enabled, the page percpu allocator may be used
on very sparse configurations, or when requested on boot with
percpu_alloc=page.
In that case, percpu data gets put in the vmalloc area. However,
sbi_hsm_hart_start() needs the physical address of a sbi_hart_boot_data,
and simply assumes that __pa() would work. This causes the just started
hart to immediately access an invalid address and hang.
Fortunately, struct sbi_hart_boot_data is not too large, so we can
simply allocate an array for boot_data statically, putting it in the
kernel image.
This fixes NUMA=y SMP boot on Sophgo SG2042.
To reproduce on QEMU: Set CONFIG_NUMA=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y, then
run with:
qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -smp 2 -nographic \
-kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image \
-append "percpu_alloc=page"

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
genirq/irq_sim: Initialize work context pointers properly
Initialize `ops` member's pointers properly by using kzalloc() instead of
kmalloc() when allocating the simulation work context. Otherwise the
pointers contain random content leading to invalid dereferencing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix another leak in the submit error path
put_unused_fd() doesn't free the installed file, if we've already done
fd_install(). So we need to also free the sync_file.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix a fence leak in submit error path
In error paths, we could unref the submit without calling
drm_sched_entity_push_job(), so msm_job_free() will never get
called. Since drm_sched_job_cleanup() will NULL out the
s_fence, we can use that to detect this case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix double put of request
If a netfs request finishes during the pause loop, it will have the ref
that belongs to the IN_PROGRESS flag removed at that point - however, if it
then goes to the final wait loop, that will *also* put the ref because it
sees that the IN_PROGRESS flag is clear and incorrectly assumes that this
happened when it called the collector.
In fact, since IN_PROGRESS is clear, we shouldn't call the collector again
since it's done all the cleanup, such as calling ->ki_complete().
Fix this by making netfs_collect_in_app() just return, indicating that
we're done if IN_PROGRESS is removed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: displayport: Fix potential deadlock
The deadlock can occur due to a recursive lock acquisition of
`cros_typec_altmode_data::mutex`.
The call chain is as follows:
1. cros_typec_altmode_work() acquires the mutex
2. typec_altmode_vdm() -> dp_altmode_vdm() ->
3. typec_altmode_exit() -> cros_typec_altmode_exit()
4. cros_typec_altmode_exit() attempts to acquire the mutex again
To prevent this, defer the `typec_altmode_exit()` call by scheduling
it rather than calling it directly from within the mutex-protected
context.
