Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: validate session id and tree id in the compound request
This patch validate session id and tree id in compound request.
If first operation in the compound is SMB2 ECHO request, ksmbd bypass
session and tree validation. So work->sess and work->tcon could be NULL.
If secound request in the compound access work->sess or tcon, It cause
NULL pointer dereferecing error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix out of bounds read in smb2_sess_setup
ksmbd does not consider the case of that smb2 session setup is
in compound request. If this is the second payload of the compound,
OOB read issue occurs while processing the first payload in
the smb2_sess_setup().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix wrong next length validation of ea buffer in smb2_set_ea()
There are multiple smb2_ea_info buffers in FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION request
from client. ksmbd find next smb2_ea_info using ->NextEntryOffset of
current smb2_ea_info. ksmbd need to validate buffer length Before
accessing the next ea. ksmbd should check buffer length using buf_len,
not next variable. next is the start offset of current ea that got from
previous ea.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: validate command request size
In commit 2b9b8f3b68ed ("ksmbd: validate command payload size"), except
for SMB2_OPLOCK_BREAK_HE command, the request size of other commands
is not checked, it's not expected. Fix it by add check for request
size of other commands.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: call rcu_barrier() in ksmbd_server_exit()
racy issue is triggered the bug by racing between closing a connection
and rmmod. In ksmbd, rcu_barrier() is not called at module unload time,
so nothing prevents ksmbd from getting unloaded while it still has RCU
callbacks pending. It leads to trigger unintended execution of kernel
code locally and use to defeat protections such as Kernel Lockdown

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efivarfs: Fix memory leak of efivarfs_fs_info in fs_context error paths
When processing mount options, efivarfs allocates efivarfs_fs_info (sfi)
early in fs_context initialization. However, sfi is associated with the
superblock and typically freed when the superblock is destroyed. If the
fs_context is released (final put) before fill_super is called—such as
on error paths or during reconfiguration—the sfi structure would leak,
as ownership never transfers to the superblock.
Implement the .free callback in efivarfs_context_ops to ensure any
allocated sfi is properly freed if the fs_context is torn down before
fill_super, preventing this memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: Delay put pmc->idev in mld_del_delrec()
pmc->idev is still used in ip6_mc_clear_src(), so as mld_clear_delrec()
does, the reference should be put after ip6_mc_clear_src() return.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-net: fix recursived rtnl_lock() during probe()
The deadlock appears in a stack trace like:
virtnet_probe()
rtnl_lock()
virtio_config_changed_work()
netdev_notify_peers()
rtnl_lock()
It happens if the VMM sends a VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE request while the
virtio-net driver is still probing.
The config_work in probe() will get scheduled until virtnet_open() enables
the config change notification via virtio_config_driver_enable().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: plug races between subflow fail and subflow creation
We have races similar to the one addressed by the previous patch between
subflow failing and additional subflow creation. They are just harder to
trigger.
The solution is similar. Use a separate flag to track the condition
'socket state prevent any additional subflow creation' protected by the
fallback lock.
The socket fallback makes such flag true, and also receiving or sending
an MP_FAIL option.
The field 'allow_infinite_fallback' is now always touched under the
relevant lock, we can drop the ONCE annotation on write.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: appletalk: Fix device refcount leak in atrtr_create()
When updating an existing route entry in atrtr_create(), the old device
reference was not being released before assigning the new device,
leading to a device refcount leak. Fix this by calling dev_put() to
release the old device reference before holding the new one.
