Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2025
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.
Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/653584/
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:
platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Fix WMI data block retrieval in sysfs callbacks
After retrieving WMI data blocks in sysfs callbacks, check for the
validity of them before dereferencing their content.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock/vmci: Clear the vmci transport packet properly when initializing it
In vmci_transport_packet_init memset the vmci_transport_packet before
populating the fields to avoid any uninitialised data being left in the
structure.
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.
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Institute-of-Current-Students v1.0 via the email parameter in the /postquerypublic endpoint. The application fails to properly sanitize user input before reflecting it in the HTML response. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser by tricking them into visiting a crafted URL or submitting a malicious form. Successful exploitation may lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or other client-side attacks.
A vulnerability was found in PHPGurukul User Registration & Login and User Management 3.3 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /admin/lastsevendays-reg-users.php. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: export anon_inode_make_secure_inode() and fix secretmem LSM bypass
Export anon_inode_make_secure_inode() to allow KVM guest_memfd to create
anonymous inodes with proper security context. This replaces the current
pattern of calling alloc_anon_inode() followed by
inode_init_security_anon() for creating security context manually.
This change also fixes a security regression in secretmem where the
S_PRIVATE flag was not cleared after alloc_anon_inode(), causing
LSM/SELinux checks to be bypassed for secretmem file descriptors.
As guest_memfd currently resides in the KVM module, we need to export this
symbol for use outside the core kernel. In the future, guest_memfd might be
moved to core-mm, at which point the symbols no longer would have to be
exported. When/if that happens is still unclear.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-multipath: fix suspicious RCU usage warning
When I run the NVME over TCP test in virtme-ng, I get the following
"suspicious RCU usage" warning in nvme_mpath_add_sysfs_link():
