Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In April 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: add check for rio_add_net() in rio_scan_alloc_net()
The return value of rio_add_net() should be checked. If it fails,
put_device() should be called to free the memory and give up the reference
initialized in rio_add_net().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Add check for mgmt_alloc_skb() in mgmt_device_connected()
Add check for the return value of mgmt_alloc_skb() in
mgmt_device_connected() to prevent null pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Add check for mgmt_alloc_skb() in mgmt_remote_name()
Add check for the return value of mgmt_alloc_skb() in
mgmt_remote_name() to prevent null pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix 'scheduling while atomic' in mptcp_pm_nl_append_new_local_addr
If multiple connection requests attempt to create an implicit mptcp
endpoint in parallel, more than one caller may end up in
mptcp_pm_nl_append_new_local_addr because none found the address in
local_addr_list during their call to mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id. In this
case, the concurrent new_local_addr calls may delete the address entry
created by the previous caller. These deletes use synchronize_rcu, but
this is not permitted in some of the contexts where this function may be
called. During packet recv, the caller may be in a rcu read critical
section and have preemption disabled.

This problem seems particularly prevalent if the user advertises an
endpoint that has a different external vs internal address. In the case
where the external address is advertised and multiple connections
already exist, multiple subflow SYNs arrive in parallel which tends to
trigger the race during creation of the first local_addr_list entries
which have the internal address instead.
Fix by skipping the replacement of an existing implicit local address if
called via mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/hmm: Don't dereference struct page pointers without notifier lock
The pnfs that we obtain from hmm_range_fault() point to pages that
we don't have a reference on, and the guarantee that they are still
in the cpu page-tables is that the notifier lock must be held and the
notifier seqno is still valid.
So while building the sg table and marking the pages accesses / dirty
we need to hold this lock with a validated seqno.
However, the lock is reclaim tainted which makes
sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment() unusable, since it internally
allocates memory.
Instead build the sg-table manually. For the non-iommu case
this might lead to fewer coalesces, but if that's a problem it can
be fixed up later in the resource cursor code. For the iommu case,
the whole sg-table may still be coalesced to a single contigous
device va region.
This avoids marking pages that we don't own dirty and accessed, and
it also avoid dereferencing struct pages that we don't own.
v2:
- Use assert to check whether hmm pfns are valid (Matthew Auld)
- Take into account that large pages may cross range boundaries
(Matthew Auld)
v3:
- Don't unnecessarily check for a non-freed sg-table. (Matthew Auld)
- Add a missing up_read() in an error path. (Matthew Auld)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix NULL Pointer Dereference in KFD queue
Through KFD IOCTL Fuzzing we encountered a NULL pointer derefrence
when calling kfd_queue_acquire_buffers.
(cherry picked from commit 049e5bf3c8406f87c3d8e1958e0a16804fa1d530)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in resource_build_scaling_params
Null pointer dereference issue could occur when pipe_ctx->plane_state
is null. The fix adds a check to ensure 'pipe_ctx->plane_state' is not
null before accessing. This prevents a null pointer dereference.
Found by code review.
(cherry picked from commit 63e6a77ccf239337baa9b1e7787cde9fa0462092)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: hid-steam: Fix use-after-free when detaching device
When a hid-steam device is removed it must clean up the client_hdev used for
intercepting hidraw access. This can lead to scheduling deferred work to
reattach the input device. Though the cleanup cancels the deferred work, this
was done before the client_hdev itself is cleaned up, so it gets rescheduled.
This patch fixes the ordering to make sure the deferred work is properly
canceled.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: make sure ptp clock is unregister and freed if hclge_ptp_get_cycle returns an error
During the initialization of ptp, hclge_ptp_get_cycle might return an error
and returned directly without unregister clock and free it. To avoid that,
call hclge_ptp_destroy_clock to unregist and free clock if
hclge_ptp_get_cycle failed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: do not use skb_get() before dev_queue_xmit()
syzbot is able to crash hosts [1], using llc and devices
not supporting IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING.
In this case, e1000 driver calls eth_skb_pad(), while
the skb is shared.
Simply replace skb_get() by skb_clone() in net/llc/llc_s_ac.c
Note that e1000 driver might have an issue with pktgen,
because it does not clear IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING, this is an
orthogonal change.
We need to audit other skb_get() uses in net/llc.
