Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In March 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE
There is a WARN_ON_ONCE to catch an unlikely situation when
domain_remove_dev_pasid can't find the `pasid`. In case it nevertheless
happens we must avoid using a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seccomp: passthrough uretprobe systemcall without filtering
When attaching uretprobes to processes running inside docker, the attached
process is segfaulted when encountering the retprobe.
The reason is that now that uretprobe is a system call the default seccomp
filters in docker block it as they only allow a specific set of known
syscalls. This is true for other userspace applications which use seccomp
to control their syscall surface.
Since uretprobe is a "kernel implementation detail" system call which is
not used by userspace application code directly, it is impractical and
there's very little point in forcing all userspace applications to
explicitly allow it in order to avoid crashing tracked processes.
Pass this systemcall through seccomp without depending on configuration.
Note: uretprobe is currently only x86_64 and isn't expected to ever be
supported in i386.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Stop active perfmon if it is being destroyed
If the active performance monitor (`v3d->active_perfmon`) is being
destroyed, stop it first. Currently, the active perfmon is not
stopped during destruction, leaving the `v3d->active_perfmon` pointer
stale. This can lead to undefined behavior and instability.
This patch ensures that the active perfmon is stopped before being
destroyed, aligning with the behavior introduced in commit
7d1fd3638ee3 ("drm/v3d: Stop the active perfmon before being destroyed").

When too many rdma resources are allocated, rxe needs more time to
handle these rdma resources. Sometimes with the current timeout, rxe
can not release the rdma resources correctly.
Compared with other rdma drivers, a bigger timeout is used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
landlock: Handle weird files
A corrupted filesystem (e.g. bcachefs) might return weird files.
Instead of throwing a warning and allowing access to such file, treat
them as regular files.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: soc-pcm: don't use soc_pcm_ret() on .prepare callback
commit 1f5664351410 ("ASoC: lower "no backend DAIs enabled for ... Port"
log severity") ignores -EINVAL error message on common soc_pcm_ret().
It is used from many functions, ignoring -EINVAL is over-kill.
The reason why -EINVAL was ignored was it really should only be used
upon invalid parameters coming from userspace and in that case we don't
want to log an error since we do not want to give userspace a way to do
a denial-of-service attack on the syslog / diskspace.
So don't use soc_pcm_ret() on .prepare callback is better idea.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: misc_minor_alloc to use ida for all dynamic/misc dynamic minors
misc_minor_alloc was allocating id using ida for minor only in case of
MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR but misc_minor_free was always freeing ids
using ida_free causing a mismatch and following warn:
> > WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 159 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x3e0/0x41f
> > ida_free called for id=127 which is not allocated.

misc_minor_alloc is changed to allocate id from ida for all minors
falling in the range of dynamic/ misc dynamic minors

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Fix crash during unbind if gpio unit is in use
We used the wrong device for the device managed functions. We used the
usb device, when we should be using the interface device.
If we unbind the driver from the usb interface, the cleanup functions
are never called. In our case, the IRQ is never disabled.
If an IRQ is triggered, it will try to access memory sections that are
already free, causing an OOPS.
We cannot use the function devm_request_threaded_irq here. The devm_*
clean functions may be called after the main structure is released by
uvc_delete.
Luckily this bug has small impact, as it is only affected by devices
with gpio units and the user has to unbind the device, a disconnect will
not trigger this error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: qcom: dispcc-sm6350: Add missing parent_map for a clock
If a clk_rcg2 has a parent, it should also have parent_map defined,
otherwise we'll get a NULL pointer dereference when calling clk_set_rate
like the following:
[ 3.388105] Call trace:
[ 3.390664] qcom_find_src_index+0x3c/0x70 (P)

[ 3.455886] clk_set_rate+0x38/0x14c
Add the parent_map property for the clock where it's missing and also
un-inline the parent_data as well to keep the matching parent_map and
parent_data together.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: mmp2: call pm_genpd_init() only after genpd.name is set
Setting the genpd's struct device's name with dev_set_name() is
happening within pm_genpd_init(). If it remains NULL, things can blow up
later, such as when crafting the devfs hierarchy for the power domain:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 when read
...
Call trace:

start_creating from debugfs_create_dir+0x20/0x178

Bisecting tracks this crash back to commit 899f44531fe6 ("pmdomain: core:
Add GENPD_FLAG_DEV_NAME_FW flag"), which exchanges use of genpd->name
with dev_name(&genpd->dev) in genpd_debug_add.part().
