Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: cs40l50-vibra - fix potential NULL dereference in cs40l50_upload_owt()
The cs40l50_upload_owt() function allocates memory via kmalloc()
without checking for allocation failure, which could lead to a
NULL pointer dereference.
Return -ENOMEM in case allocation fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix iteration of extrefs during log replay
At __inode_add_ref() when processing extrefs, if we jump into the next
label we have an undefined value of victim_name.len, since we haven't
initialized it before we did the goto. This results in an invalid memory
access in the next iteration of the loop since victim_name.len was not
initialized to the length of the name of the current extref.
Fix this by initializing victim_name.len with the current extref's name
length.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/vmalloc: fix data race in show_numa_info()
The following data-race was found in show_numa_info():
==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in vmalloc_info_show / vmalloc_info_show

==================================================================
According to this report,there is a read/write data-race because
m->private is accessible to multiple CPUs. To fix this, instead of
allocating the heap in proc_vmalloc_init() and passing the heap address to
m->private, vmalloc_info_show() should allocate the heap.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: spinand: fix memory leak of ECC engine conf
Memory allocated for the ECC engine conf is not released during spinand
cleanup. Below kmemleak trace is seen for this memory leak:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: lan78xx: fix WARN in __netif_napi_del_locked on disconnect
Remove redundant netif_napi_del() call from disconnect path.
A WARN may be triggered in __netif_napi_del_locked() during USB device
disconnect:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at net/core/dev.c:7417 __netif_napi_del_locked+0x2b4/0x350
This happens because netif_napi_del() is called in the disconnect path while
NAPI is still enabled. However, it is not necessary to call netif_napi_del()
explicitly, since unregister_netdev() will handle NAPI teardown automatically
and safely. Removing the redundant call avoids triggering the warning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Refuse to evaluate a method if arguments are missing
As reported in [1], a platform firmware update that increased the number
of method parameters and forgot to update a least one of its callers,
caused ACPICA to crash due to use-after-free.
Since this a result of a clear AML issue that arguably cannot be fixed
up by the interpreter (it cannot produce missing data out of thin air),
address it by making ACPICA refuse to evaluate a method if the caller
attempts to pass fewer arguments than expected to it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Disable interrupts before resetting the GPU
Currently, an interrupt can be triggered during a GPU reset, which can
lead to GPU hangs and NULL pointer dereference in an interrupt context

RDMA/mlx5: Fix unsafe xarray access in implicit ODP handling
__xa_store() and __xa_erase() were used without holding the proper lock,
which led to a lockdep warning due to unsafe RCU usage. This patch
replaces them with xa_store() and xa_erase(), which perform the necessary
locking internally.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx5: Fix potential deadlock in MR deregistration
The issue arises when kzalloc() is invoked while holding umem_mutex or
any other lock acquired under umem_mutex. This is problematic because
kzalloc() can trigger fs_reclaim_aqcuire(), which may, in turn, invoke
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(). This function can lead to
mlx5_ib_invalidate_range(), which attempts to acquire umem_mutex again,
resulting in a deadlock.
The problematic flow:
CPU0 | CPU1
---------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------
mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() |
→ revoke_mr() |
→ mutex_lock(&umem_odp->umem_mutex) |
| mlx5_mkey_cache_init()
| → mutex_lock(&dev->cache.rb_lock)
| → mlx5r_cache_create_ent_locked()
| → kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
| → fs_reclaim()
| → mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
| → mlx5_ib_invalidate_range()
| → mutex_lock(&umem_odp->umem_mutex)
→ cache_ent_find_and_store() |
→ mutex_lock(&dev->cache.rb_lock) |
Additionally, when kzalloc() is called from within
cache_ent_find_and_store(), we encounter the same deadlock due to
re-acquisition of umem_mutex.
Solve by releasing umem_mutex in dereg_mr() after umr_revoke_mr()
and before acquiring rb_lock. This ensures that we don't hold
umem_mutex while performing memory allocations that could trigger
the reclaim path.
This change prevents the deadlock by ensuring proper lock ordering and
avoiding holding locks during memory allocation operations that could
trigger the reclaim path.
The following lockdep warning demonstrates the deadlock:
