Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: cancle set bad inode after removing name fails
The reproducer uses a file0 on a ntfs3 file system with a corrupted i_link.
When renaming, the file0's inode is marked as a bad inode because the file
name cannot be deleted.
The underlying bug is that make_bad_inode() is called on a live inode.
In some cases it's "icache lookup finds a normal inode, d_splice_alias()
is called to attach it to dentry, while another thread decides to call
make_bad_inode() on it - that would evict it from icache, but we'd already
found it there earlier".
In some it's outright "we have an inode attached to dentry - that's how we
got it in the first place; let's call make_bad_inode() on it just for shits
and giggles".

In the smartLibrary component of the HRForecast Suite 0.4.3, a SQL injection vulnerability was discovered in the valueKey parameter. This flaw enables any authenticated user to execute arbitrary SQL queries, via crafted payloads to valueKey to the api/smartlibrary/v2/en/dictionaries/options/lookup endpoint.

n8n is a workflow automation platform. From 1.77.0 to before 1.98.2, a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in n8n, specifically in the Form Trigger node's HTML form element. An authenticated attacker can inject malicious HTML via an <iframe> with a srcdoc payload that includes arbitrary JavaScript execution. The attacker can also inject malicious Javascript by using <video> coupled <source> using an onerror event. While using iframe or a combination of video and source tag, this vulnerability allows for Account Takeover (ATO) by exfiltrating n8n-browserId and session cookies from authenticated users who visit a maliciously crafted form. Using these tokens and cookies, an attacker can impersonate the victim and change account details such as email addresses, enabling full control over the account—especially if 2FA is not enabled. Users should upgrade to version >= 1.98.2.

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Welcome banner user name string for logged in users can be vulnerable to XSS attacks, which affect the user themselves or an admin impersonating them. Admins can temporarily alter the welcome_banner.header.logged_in_members site text to remove the preferred_display_name placeholder, or not impersonate
any users for the time being. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.5.0.beta8.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: handle jset (if a & b ...) as a jump in CFG computation
BPF_JSET is a conditional jump and currently verifier.c:can_jump()
does not know about that. This can lead to incorrect live registers
and SCC computation.
E.g. in the following example:
1: r0 = 1;
2: r2 = 2;
3: if r1 & 0x7 goto +1;
4: exit;
5: r0 = r2;
6: exit;
W/o this fix insn_successors(3) will return only (4), a jump to (5)
would be missed and r2 won't be marked as alive at (3).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, ktls: Fix data corruption when using bpf_msg_pop_data() in ktls
When sending plaintext data, we initially calculated the corresponding
ciphertext length. However, if we later reduced the plaintext data length
via socket policy, we failed to recalculate the ciphertext length.
This results in transmitting buffers containing uninitialized data during
ciphertext transmission.
This causes uninitialized bytes to be appended after a complete
"Application Data" packet, leading to errors on the receiving end when
parsing TLS record.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM / devfreq: Check governor before using governor->name
Commit 96ffcdf239de ("PM / devfreq: Remove redundant governor_name from
struct devfreq") removes governor_name and uses governor->name to replace
it. But devfreq->governor may be NULL and directly using
devfreq->governor->name may cause null pointer exception. Move the check of
governor to before using governor->name.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powercap: dtpm_cpu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in get_pd_power_uw()
The get_pd_power_uw() function can crash with a NULL pointer dereference
when em_cpu_get() returns NULL. This occurs when a CPU becomes impossible
during runtime, causing get_cpu_device() to return NULL, which propagates
through em_cpu_get() and leads to a crash when em_span_cpus() dereferences
the NULL pointer.
Add a NULL check after em_cpu_get() and return 0 if unavailable,
matching the existing fallback behavior in __dtpm_cpu_setup().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: fbtft: fix potential memory leak in fbtft_framebuffer_alloc()
In the error paths after fb_info structure is successfully allocated,
the memory allocated in fb_deferred_io_init() for info->pagerefs is not
freed. Fix that by adding the cleanup function on the error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: gpib: fix unset padding field copy back to userspace
The introduction of a padding field in the gpib_board_info_ioctl is
showing up as initialized data on the stack frame being copyied back
to userspace in function board_info_ioctl. The simplest fix is to
initialize the entire struct to zero to ensure all unassigned padding
fields are zero'd before being copied back to userspace.
