Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ work
During rcu_read_unlock_special(), if this happens during irq_exit(), we
can lockup if an IPI is issued. This is because the IPI itself triggers
the irq_exit() path causing a recursive lock up.
This is precisely what Xiongfeng found when invoking a BPF program on
the trace_tick_stop() tracepoint As shown in the trace below. Fix by
managing the irq_work state correctly.
irq_exit()
__irq_exit_rcu()
/* in_hardirq() returns false after this */
preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET)
tick_irq_exit()
tick_nohz_irq_exit()
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
trace_tick_stop() /* a bpf prog is hooked on this trace point */
__bpf_trace_tick_stop()
bpf_trace_run2()
rcu_read_unlock_special()
/* will send a IPI to itself */
irq_work_queue_on(&rdp->defer_qs_iw, rdp->cpu);
A simple reproducer can also be obtained by doing the following in
tick_irq_exit(). It will hang on boot without the patch:
static inline void tick_irq_exit(void)
{
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ WRITE_ONCE(current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs, true);
+ rcu_read_unlock();

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath10k: shutdown driver when hardware is unreliable
In rare cases, ath10k may lose connection with the PCIe bus due to
some unknown reasons, which could further lead to system crashes during
resuming due to watchdog timeout:
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: wmi command 20486 timeout, restarting hardware
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: already restarting
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to stop WMI vdev 0: -11
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to stop vdev 0: -11
ieee80211 phy0: PM: **** DPM device timeout ****
Call Trace:

dpm_watchdog_set+0x54/0x54
dpm_watchdog_handler+0x57/0x57
call_timer_fn+0x31/0x13c
At this point, all WMI commands will timeout and attempt to restart
device. So set a threshold for consecutive restart failures. If the
threshold is exceeded, consider the hardware is unreliable and all
ath10k operations should be skipped to avoid system crash.
fail_cont_count and pending_recovery are atomic variables, and
do not involve complex conditional logic. Therefore, even if recovery
check and reconfig complete are executed concurrently, the recovery
mechanism will not be broken.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/migrate: prevent potential UAF
If we hit the error path, the previous fence (if there is one) has
already been put() prior to this, so doing a fence_wait could lead to
UAF. Tweak the flow to do to the put() until after we do the wait.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/migrate: don't overflow max copy size
With non-page aligned copy, we need to use 4 byte aligned pitch, however
the size itself might still be close to our maximum of ~8M, and so the
dimensions of the copy can easily exceed the S16_MAX limit of the copy
command leading to the following assert:
xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm] Assertion `size / pitch <= ((s16)(((u16)~0U) >> 1))` failed!
platform: BATTLEMAGE subplatform: 1
graphics: Xe2_HPG 20.01 step A0

GT: 0 type 1
WARNING: CPU: 23 PID: 10605 at drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_migrate.c:673 emit_copy+0x4b5/0x4e0 [xe]
To fix this account for the pitch when calculating the number of current
bytes to copy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/arm-smmu-qcom: Add SM6115 MDSS compatible
Add the SM6115 MDSS compatible to clients compatible list, as it also
needs that workaround.
Without this workaround, for example, QRB4210 RB2 which is based on
SM4250/SM6115 generates a lot of smmu unhandled context faults during
boot:

[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the
text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]
There are multiple issues related to the handling and accessing of guest
memory pages in the viridian code:
1. A NULL pointer dereference in the updating of the reference TSC area.
This is CVE-2025-27466.
2. A NULL pointer dereference by assuming the SIM page is mapped when
a synthetic timer message has to be delivered. This is
CVE-2025-58142.
3. A race in the mapping of the reference TSC page, where a guest can
get Xen to free a page while still present in the guest physical to
machine (p2m) page tables. This is CVE-2025-58143.

text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]
There are two issues related to the mapping of pages belonging to other
domains: For one, an assertion is wrong there, where the case actually
needs handling. A NULL pointer de-reference could result on a release
build. This is CVE-2025-58144.
And then the P2M lock isn't held until a page reference was actually
obtained (or the attempt to do so has failed). Otherwise the page can
not only change type, but even ownership in between, thus allowing
domain boundaries to be violated. This is CVE-2025-58145.
