Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In September 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-cgroup: Reinit blkg_iostat_set after clearing in blkcg_reset_stats()
When blkg_alloc() is called to allocate a blkcg_gq structure
with the associated blkg_iostat_set's, there are 2 fields within
blkg_iostat_set that requires proper initialization - blkg & sync.
The former field was introduced by commit 3b8cc6298724 ("blk-cgroup:
Optimize blkcg_rstat_flush()") while the later one was introduced by
commit f73316482977 ("blk-cgroup: reimplement basic IO stats using
cgroup rstat").
Unfortunately those fields in the blkg_iostat_set's are not properly
re-initialized when they are cleared in v1's blkcg_reset_stats(). This
can lead to a kernel panic due to NULL pointer access of the blkg
pointer. The missing initialization of sync is less problematic and
can be a problem in a debug kernel due to missing lockdep initialization.
Fix these problems by re-initializing them after memory clearing.

The test scenario has the following flow:
thread1 thread2
----------- ---------------
tcp_bpf_sendmsg
tcp_bpf_send_verdict
tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir sock_close
tcp_bpf_push_locked __sock_release
tcp_bpf_push //inet_release
do_tcp_sendpages sock->ops->release
sk_stream_wait_memory // tcp_close
sk_wait_event sk->sk_prot->close
release_sock(__sk);
***
lock_sock(sk);
__tcp_close
sock_orphan(sk)
sk->sk_wq = NULL
release_sock
****
lock_sock(__sk);
remove_wait_queue(sk_sleep(sk), &wait);
sk_sleep(sk)
//NULL pointer dereference
&rcu_dereference_raw(sk->sk_wq)->wait
While waiting for memory in thread1, the socket is released with its wait
queue because thread2 has closed it. This caused by tcp_bpf_send_verdict
didn't increase the f_count of psock->sk_redir->sk_socket->file in thread1.
We should check if SOCK_DEAD flag is set on wakeup in sk_stream_wait_memory
before accessing the wait queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Protect against send buffer overflow in NFSv2 READ
Since before the git era, NFSD has conserved the number of pages
held by each nfsd thread by combining the RPC receive and send
buffers into a single array of pages. This works because there are
no cases where an operation needs a large RPC Call message and a
large RPC Reply at the same time.
Once an RPC Call has been received, svc_process() updates
svc_rqst::rq_res to describe the part of rq_pages that can be
used for constructing the Reply. This means that the send buffer
(rq_res) shrinks when the received RPC record containing the RPC
Call is large.
A client can force this shrinkage on TCP by sending a correctly-
formed RPC Call header contained in an RPC record that is
excessively large. The full maximum payload size cannot be
constructed in that case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Fix error code path in acpi_ds_call_control_method()
A use-after-free in acpi_ps_parse_aml() after a failing invocaion of
acpi_ds_call_control_method() is reported by KASAN [1] and code
inspection reveals that next_walk_state pushed to the thread by
acpi_ds_create_walk_state() is freed on errors, but it is not popped
from the thread beforehand. Thus acpi_ds_get_current_walk_state()
called by acpi_ps_parse_aml() subsequently returns it as the new
walk state which is incorrect.
To address this, make acpi_ds_call_control_method() call
acpi_ds_pop_walk_state() to pop next_walk_state from the thread before
returning an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: bridge: adv7511: unregister cec i2c device after cec adapter
cec_unregister_adapter() assumes that the underlying adapter ops are
callable. For example, if the CEC adapter currently has a valid physical
address, then the unregistration procedure will invalidate the physical
address by setting it to f.f.f.f. Whence the following kernel oops
observed after removing the adv7511 module:
Unable to handle kernel execution of user memory at virtual address 0000000000000000
