Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2025
The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Phone Number parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.63 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary plugin installations due to a missing capability check in the mvl_setup_wizard_install_plugin() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.64. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install and activate arbitrary plugins on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate: fix shmem xarray update during migration
A shmem folio can be either in page cache or in swap cache, but not at the
same time. Namely, once it is in swap cache, folio->mapping should be
NULL, and the folio is no longer in a shmem mapping.
In __folio_migrate_mapping(), to determine the number of xarray entries to
update, folio_test_swapbacked() is used, but that conflates shmem in page
cache case and shmem in swap cache case. It leads to xarray multi-index
entry corruption, since it turns a sibling entry to a normal entry during
xas_store() (see [1] for a userspace reproduction). Fix it by only using
folio_test_swapcache() to determine whether xarray is storing swap cache
entries or not to choose the right number of xarray entries to update.

Note:
In __split_huge_page(), folio_test_anon() && folio_test_swapcache() is
used to get swap_cache address space, but that ignores the shmem folio in
swap cache case. It could lead to NULL pointer dereferencing when a
in-swap-cache shmem folio is split at __xa_store(), since
!folio_test_anon() is true and folio->mapping is NULL. But fortunately,
its caller split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() bails out early with EBUSY
when folio->mapping is NULL. So no need to take care of it here.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dpll: fix xa_alloc_cyclic() error handling
In case of returning 1 from xa_alloc_cyclic() (wrapping) ERR_PTR(1) will
be returned, which will cause IS_ERR() to be false. Which can lead to
dereference not allocated pointer (pin).
Fix it by checking if err is lower than zero.
This wasn't found in real usecase, only noticed. Credit to Pierre.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: dts: bcm2711: Fix xHCI power-domain
During s2idle tests on the Raspberry CM4 the VPU firmware always crashes
on xHCI power-domain resume:
root@raspberrypi:/sys/power# echo freeze > state
[ 70.724347] xhci_suspend finished
[ 70.727730] xhci_plat_suspend finished
[ 70.755624] bcm2835-power bcm2835-power: Power grafx off
[ 70.761127] USB: Set power to 0
[ 74.653040] USB: Failed to set power to 1 (-110)
This seems to be caused because of the mixed usage of
raspberrypi-power and bcm2835-power at the same time. So avoid
the usage of the VPU firmware power-domain driver, which
prevents the VPU crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845: Affirm IDR0.CCTW on apps_smmu"
There are reports that the pagetable walker cache coherency is not a
given across the spectrum of SDM845/850 devices, leading to lock-ups
and resets. It works fine on some devices (like the Dragonboard 845c,
but not so much on the Lenovo Yoga C630).
This unfortunately looks like a fluke in firmware development, where
likely somewhere in the vast hypervisor stack, a change to accommodate
for this was only introduced after the initial software release (which
often serves as a baseline for products).
Revert the change to avoid additional guesswork around crashes.
This reverts commit 6b31a9744b8726c69bb0af290f8475a368a4b805.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Unconditionally save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state
There are several problems with the way hyp code lazily saves the host's
FPSIMD/SVE state, including:
* Host SVE being discarded unexpectedly due to inconsistent
configuration of TIF_SVE and CPACR_ELx.ZEN. This has been seen to
result in QEMU crashes where SVE is used by memmove(), as reported by
Eric Auger:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-68997
* Host SVE state is discarded *after* modification by ptrace, which was an
unintentional ptrace ABI change introduced with lazy discarding of SVE state.
* The host FPMR value can be discarded when running a non-protected VM,
where FPMR support is not exposed to a VM, and that VM uses
FPSIMD/SVE. In these cases the hyp code does not save the host's FPMR
before unbinding the host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, leaving a stale
value in memory.
Avoid these by eagerly saving and "flushing" the host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME
state when loading a vCPU such that KVM does not need to save any of the
host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME state. For clarity, fpsimd_kvm_prepare() is
removed and the necessary call to fpsimd_save_and_flush_cpu_state() is
placed in kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp(). As 'fpsimd_state' and 'fpmr_ptr'
should not be used, they are set to NULL; all uses of these will be
removed in subsequent patches.
Historical problems go back at least as far as v5.17, e.g. erroneous
assumptions about TIF_SVE being clear in commit:
8383741ab2e773a9 ("KVM: arm64: Get rid of host SVE tracking/saving")
... and so this eager save+flush probably needs to be backported to ALL
stable trees.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: pdr: Fix the potential deadlock
When some client process A call pdr_add_lookup() to add the look up for
the service and does schedule locator work, later a process B got a new
server packet indicating locator is up and call pdr_locator_new_server()
which eventually sets pdr->locator_init_complete to true which process A
sees and takes list lock and queries domain list but it will timeout due
to deadlock as the response will queued to the same qmi->wq and it is
ordered workqueue and process B is not able to complete new server
request work due to deadlock on list lock.
Fix it by removing the unnecessary list iteration as the list iteration
is already being done inside locator work, so avoid it here and just
call schedule_work() here.
Process A Process B
process_scheduled_works()
pdr_add_lookup() qmi_data_ready_work()
process_scheduled_works() pdr_locator_new_server()
pdr->locator_init_complete=true;
pdr_locator_work()
mutex_lock(&pdr->list_lock);
pdr_locate_service() mutex_lock(&pdr->list_lock);
pdr_get_domain_list()
pr_err("PDR: %s get domain list
txn wait failed: %d\n",
req->service_name,
ret);
Timeout error log due to deadlock:
"
PDR: tms/servreg get domain list txn wait failed: -110
PDR: service lookup for msm/adsp/sensor_pd:tms/servreg failed: -110
"
Thanks to Bjorn and Johan for letting me know that this commit also fixes
an audio regression when using the in-kernel pd-mapper as that makes it
easier to hit this race. [1]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: check that dummy regulator has been probed before using it
Due to asynchronous driver probing there is a chance that the dummy
regulator hasn't already been probed when first accessing it.
