Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_devcd_dump: fix out-of-bounds via dev_coredumpv
Currently both dev_coredumpv and skb_put_data in hci_devcd_dump use
hdev->dump.head. However, dev_coredumpv can free the buffer. From
dev_coredumpm_timeout documentation, which is used by dev_coredumpv:
> Creates a new device coredump for the given device. If a previous one hasn't
> been read yet, the new coredump is discarded. The data lifetime is determined
> by the device coredump framework and when it is no longer needed the @free
> function will be called to free the data.
If the data has not been read by the userspace yet, dev_coredumpv will
discard new buffer, freeing hdev->dump.head. This leads to
vmalloc-out-of-bounds error when skb_put_data tries to access
hdev->dump.head.
A crash report from syzbot illustrates this:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix KMSAN uninit-value in extent_info usage
KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized value in `__is_extent_mergeable()`
and `__is_back_mergeable()` via the read extent tree path.
The root cause is that `get_read_extent_info()` only initializes three
fields (`fofs`, `blk`, `len`) of `struct extent_info`, leaving the
remaining fields uninitialized. This leads to undefined behavior
when those fields are accessed later, especially during
extent merging.
Fix it by zero-initializing the `extent_info` struct before population.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix inode use after free in ext4_end_io_rsv_work()
In ext4_io_end_defer_completion(), check if io_end->list_vec is empty to
avoid adding an io_end that requires no conversion to the
i_rsv_conversion_list, which in turn prevents starting an unnecessary
worker. An ext4_emergency_state() check is also added to avoid attempting
to abort the journal in an emergency state.
Additionally, ext4_put_io_end_defer() is refactored to call
ext4_io_end_defer_completion() directly instead of being open-coded.
This also prevents starting an unnecessary worker when EXT4_IO_END_FAILED
is set but data_err=abort is not enabled.
This ensures that the check in ext4_put_io_end_defer() is consistent with
the check in ext4_end_bio(). Otherwise, we might add an io_end to the
i_rsv_conversion_list and then call ext4_finish_bio(), after which the
inode could be freed before ext4_end_io_rsv_work() is called, triggering
a use-after-free issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
padata: Fix pd UAF once and for all
There is a race condition/UAF in padata_reorder that goes back
to the initial commit. A reference count is taken at the start
of the process in padata_do_parallel, and released at the end in
padata_serial_worker.
This reference count is (and only is) required for padata_replace
to function correctly. If padata_replace is never called then
there is no issue.
In the function padata_reorder which serves as the core of padata,
as soon as padata is added to queue->serial.list, and the associated
spin lock released, that padata may be processed and the reference
count on pd would go away.
Fix this by getting the next padata before the squeue->serial lock
is released.
In order to make this possible, simplify padata_reorder by only
calling it once the next padata arrives.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: media: atomisp: Fix stack buffer overflow in gmin_get_var_int()
When gmin_get_config_var() calls efi.get_variable() and the EFI variable
is larger than the expected buffer size, two behaviors combine to create
a stack buffer overflow:
1. gmin_get_config_var() does not return the proper error code when
efi.get_variable() fails. It returns the stale 'ret' value from
earlier operations instead of indicating the EFI failure.
2. When efi.get_variable() returns EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, it updates
*out_len to the required buffer size but writes no data to the output
buffer. However, due to bug #1, gmin_get_var_int() believes the call
succeeded.
The caller gmin_get_var_int() then performs:
- Allocates val[CFG_VAR_NAME_MAX + 1] (65 bytes) on stack
- Calls gmin_get_config_var(dev, is_gmin, var, val, &len) with len=64
- If EFI variable is >64 bytes, efi.get_variable() sets len=required_size
- Due to bug #1, thinks call succeeded with len=required_size
- Executes val[len] = 0, writing past end of 65-byte stack buffer
This creates a stack buffer overflow when EFI variables are larger than
64 bytes. Since EFI variables can be controlled by firmware or system
configuration, this could potentially be exploited for code execution.
Fix the bug by returning proper error codes from gmin_get_config_var()
based on EFI status instead of stale 'ret' value.
The gmin_get_var_int() function is called during device initialization
for camera sensor configuration on Intel Bay Trail and Cherry Trail
platforms using the atomisp camera stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: cs42l43: Property entry should be a null-terminated array
The software node does not specify a count of property entries, so the
array must be null-terminated.
When unterminated, this can lead to a fault in the downstream cs35l56
amplifier driver, because the node parse walks off the end of the
array into unknown memory.
