Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In September 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/dpt: Treat the DPT BO as a framebuffer
Currently i915_gem_object_is_framebuffer() doesn't treat the
BO containing the framebuffer's DPT as a framebuffer itself.
This means eg. that the shrinker can evict the DPT BO while
leaving the actual FB BO bound, when the DPT is allocated
from regular shmem.
That causes an immediate oops during hibernate as we
try to rewrite the PTEs inside the already evicted
DPT obj.
TODO: presumably this might also be the reason for the
DPT related display faults under heavy memory pressure,
but I'm still not sure how that would happen as the object
should be pinned by intel_dpt_pin() while in active use by
the display engine...

usb: phy: phy-tahvo: fix memory leak in tahvo_usb_probe()
Smatch reports:
drivers/usb/phy/phy-tahvo.c: tahvo_usb_probe()
warn: missing unwind goto?
After geting irq, if ret < 0, it will return without error handling to
free memory.
Just add error handling to fix this problem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix null-ptr-deref of mreplace in raid10_sync_request
There are two check of 'mreplace' in raid10_sync_request(). In the first
check, 'need_replace' will be set and 'mreplace' will be used later if
no-Faulty 'mreplace' exists, In the second check, 'mreplace' will be
set to NULL if it is Faulty, but 'need_replace' will not be changed
accordingly. null-ptr-deref occurs if Faulty is set between two check.
Fix it by merging two checks into one. And replace 'need_replace' with
'mreplace' because their values are always the same.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dp: add atomic_check to bridge ops
DRM commit_tails() will disable downstream crtc/encoder/bridge if
both disable crtc is required and crtc->active is set before pushing
a new frame downstream.
There is a rare case that user space display manager issue an extra
screen update immediately followed by close DRM device while down
stream display interface is disabled. This extra screen update will
timeout due to the downstream interface is disabled but will cause
crtc->active be set. Hence the followed commit_tails() called by
drm_release() will pass the disable downstream crtc/encoder/bridge
conditions checking even downstream interface is disabled.
This cause the crash to happen at dp_bridge_disable() due to it trying
to access the main link register to push the idle pattern out while main
link clocks is disabled.
This patch adds atomic_check to prevent the extra frame will not
be pushed down if display interface is down so that crtc->active
will not be set neither. This will fail the conditions checking
of disabling down stream crtc/encoder/bridge which prevent
drm_release() from calling dp_bridge_disable() so that crash
at dp_bridge_disable() prevented.
There is no protection in the DRM framework to check if the display
pipeline has been already disabled before trying again. The only
check is the crtc_state->active but this is controlled by usermode
using UAPI. Hence if the usermode sets this and then crashes, the
driver needs to protect against double disable.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: greybus: audio_helper: remove unused and wrong debugfs usage
In the greybus audio_helper code, the debugfs file for the dapm has the
potential to be removed and memory will be leaked. There is also the
very real potential for this code to remove ALL debugfs entries from the
system, and it seems like this is what will really happen if this code
ever runs. This all is very wrong as the greybus audio driver did not
create this debugfs file, the sound core did and controls the lifespan
of it.
So remove all of the debugfs logic from the audio_helper code as there's
no way it could be correct. If this really is needed, it can come back
with a fixup for the incorrect usage of the debugfs_lookup() call which
is what caused this to be noticed at all.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dcb: choose correct policy to parse DCB_ATTR_BCN
The dcbnl_bcn_setcfg uses erroneous policy to parse tb[DCB_ATTR_BCN],
which is introduced in commit 859ee3c43812 ("DCB: Add support for DCB
BCN"). Please see the comment in below code
static int dcbnl_bcn_setcfg(...)
{
...
ret = nla_parse_nested_deprecated(..., dcbnl_pfc_up_nest, .. )
// !!! dcbnl_pfc_up_nest for attributes
// DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_0 to DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_ALL in enum dcbnl_pfc_up_attrs
...
for (i = DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0; i <= DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7; i++) {
// !!! DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0 to DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7 in enum dcbnl_bcn_attrs
...
value_byte = nla_get_u8(data[i]);
...
}
...
for (i = DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0; i <= DCB_BCN_ATTR_RI; i++) {
// !!! DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0 to DCB_BCN_ATTR_RI in enum dcbnl_bcn_attrs
...
value_int = nla_get_u32(data[i]);
...
}
...
}
That is, the nla_parse_nested_deprecated uses dcbnl_pfc_up_nest
attributes to parse nlattr defined in dcbnl_pfc_up_attrs. But the
following access code fetch each nlattr as dcbnl_bcn_attrs attributes.
By looking up the associated nla_policy for dcbnl_bcn_attrs. We can find
the beginning part of these two policies are "same".
static const struct nla_policy dcbnl_pfc_up_nest[...] = {
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_0] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_1] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_2] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_3] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_4] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_5] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_6] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_7] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
};
static const struct nla_policy dcbnl_bcn_nest[...] = {
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_1] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_2] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_3] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_4] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_5] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_6] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
// from here is somewhat different
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0] = {.type = NLA_U32},
...
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
};
Therefore, the current code is buggy and this
nla_parse_nested_deprecated could overflow the dcbnl_pfc_up_nest and use
the adjacent nla_policy to parse attributes from DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0.
Hence use the correct policy dcbnl_bcn_nest to parse the nested
tb[DCB_ATTR_BCN] TLV.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: fix memory leak in mlx5e_fs_tt_redirect_any_create
The memory pointed to by the fs->any pointer is not freed in the error
path of mlx5e_fs_tt_redirect_any_create, which can lead to a memory leak.
Fix by freeing the memory in the error path, thereby making the error path
identical to mlx5e_fs_tt_redirect_any_destroy().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix a potential overflow in sctp_ifwdtsn_skip
Currently, when traversing ifwdtsn skips with _sctp_walk_ifwdtsn, it only
checks the pos against the end of the chunk. However, the data left for
the last pos may be < sizeof(struct sctp_ifwdtsn_skip), and dereference
it as struct sctp_ifwdtsn_skip may cause coverflow.
This patch fixes it by checking the pos against "the end of the chunk -
sizeof(struct sctp_ifwdtsn_skip)" in sctp_ifwdtsn_skip, similar to
sctp_fwdtsn_skip.
