Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: No more self recovery
When a node withdraws and it turns out that it is the only node that has
the filesystem mounted, gfs2 currently tries to replay the local journal
to bring the filesystem back into a consistent state. Not only is that
a very bad idea, it has also never worked because gfs2_recover_func()
will refuse to do anything during a withdraw.
However, before even getting to this point, gfs2_recover_func()
dereferences sdp->sd_jdesc->jd_inode. This was a use-after-free before
commit 04133b607a78 ("gfs2: Prevent double iput for journal on error")
and is a NULL pointer dereference since then.
Simply get rid of self recovery to fix that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
[ceph] parse_longname(): strrchr() expects NUL-terminated string
... and parse_longname() is not guaranteed that. That's the reason
why it uses kmemdup_nul() to build the argument for kstrtou64();
the problem is, kstrtou64() is not the only thing that need it.
Just get a NUL-terminated copy of the entire thing and be done
with that...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: mt8365-dai-i2s: pass correct size to mt8365_dai_set_priv
Given mt8365_dai_set_priv allocate priv_size space to copy priv_data which
means we should pass mt8365_i2s_priv[i] or "struct mtk_afe_i2s_priv"
instead of afe_priv which has the size of "struct mt8365_afe_private".
Otherwise the KASAN complains about.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: reject invalid file types when reading inodes
To prevent inodes with invalid file types from tripping through the vfs
and causing malfunctions or assertion failures, add a missing sanity check
when reading an inode from a block device. If the file type is not valid,
treat it as a filesystem error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: netlink: can_changelink(): fix NULL pointer deref of struct can_priv::do_set_mode
Andrei Lalaev reported a NULL pointer deref when a CAN device is
restarted from Bus Off and the driver does not implement the struct
can_priv::do_set_mode callback.
There are 2 code path that call struct can_priv::do_set_mode:
- directly by a manual restart from the user space, via
can_changelink()
- delayed automatic restart after bus off (deactivated by default)
To prevent the NULL pointer deference, refuse a manual restart or
configure the automatic restart delay in can_changelink() and report
the error via extack to user space.
As an additional safety measure let can_restart() return an error if
can_priv::do_set_mode is not set instead of dereferencing it
unchecked.

[16937.192268] F2FS-fs (loop0): Failed to find devices
If device path length equals to MAX_PATH_LEN, sbi->devs.path[] may
not end up w/ null character due to path array is fully filled, So
accidently, fields locate after path[] may be treated as part of
device path, result in parsing wrong device path.
struct f2fs_dev_info {
...
char path[MAX_PATH_LEN];
...
};
Let's add one byte space for sbi->devs.path[] to store null
character of device path string.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
proc: use the same treatment to check proc_lseek as ones for proc_read_iter et.al
Check pde->proc_ops->proc_lseek directly may cause UAF in rmmod scenario.
It's a gap in proc_reg_open() after commit 654b33ada4ab("proc: fix UAF in
proc_get_inode()"). Followed by AI Viro's suggestion, fix it in same
manner.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: canaan: k230: Fix order of DT parse and pinctrl register
Move DT parse before pinctrl register. This ensures that device tree
parsing is done before calling devm_pinctrl_register() to prevent using
uninitialized pin resources.
