Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: update channel list in reg notifier instead reg worker
Currently when ath11k gets a new channel list, it will be processed
according to the following steps:
1. update new channel list to cfg80211 and queue reg_work.
2. cfg80211 handles new channel list during reg_work.
3. update cfg80211's handled channel list to firmware by
ath11k_reg_update_chan_list().
But ath11k will immediately execute step 3 after reg_work is just
queued. Since step 2 is asynchronous, cfg80211 may not have completed
handling the new channel list, which may leading to an out-of-bounds
write error:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ath11k_reg_update_chan_list
Call Trace:
ath11k_reg_update_chan_list+0xbfe/0xfe0 [ath11k]
kfree+0x109/0x3a0

ath11k_regd_update_work+0x14/0x20 [ath11k]
process_one_work+0xe35/0x14c0
Should ensure step 2 is completely done before executing step 3. Thus
Wen raised patch[1]. When flag NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_DRIVER is set,
cfg80211 will notify ath11k after step 2 is done.
So enable the flag NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_DRIVER then cfg80211 will
notify ath11k after step 2 is done. At this time, there will be no
KASAN bug during the execution of the step 3.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: Don't take register_mutex with copy_from/to_user()
The infamous mmap_lock taken in copy_from/to_user() can be often
problematic when it's called inside another mutex, as they might lead
to deadlocks.
In the case of ALSA timer code, the bad pattern is with
guard(mutex)(®ister_mutex) that covers copy_from/to_user() -- which
was mistakenly introduced at converting to guard(), and it had been
carefully worked around in the past.
This patch fixes those pieces simply by moving copy_from/to_user() out
of the register mutex lock again.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RISC-V: KVM: Teardown riscv specific bits after kvm_exit
During a module removal, kvm_exit invokes arch specific disable
call which disables AIA. However, we invoke aia_exit before kvm_exit
resulting in the following warning. KVM kernel module can't be inserted
afterwards due to inconsistent state of IRQ.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: int340x: Add NULL check for adev
Not all devices have an ACPI companion fwnode, so adev might be NULL.
This is similar to the commit cd2fd6eab480
("platform/x86: int3472: Check for adev == NULL").
Add a check for adev not being set and return -ENODEV in that case to
avoid a possible NULL pointer deref in int3402_thermal_probe().
Note, under the same directory, int3400_thermal_probe() has such a
check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: init wiphy_work before allocating rfkill fails
syzbort reported a uninitialize wiphy_work_lock in cfg80211_dev_free. [1]
After rfkill allocation fails, the wiphy release process will be performed,
which will cause cfg80211_dev_free to access the uninitialized wiphy_work
related data.
Move the initialization of wiphy_work to before rfkill initialization to
avoid this issue.

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?

Above issue happens as ext4_xattr_delete_inode() isn't check xattr
is valid if xattr is in inode.
To solve above issue call xattr_check_inode() check if xattr if valid
in inode. In fact, we can directly verify in ext4_iget_extra_inode(),
so that there is no divergent verification.

block: fix adding folio to bio
>4GB folio is possible on some ARCHs, such as aarch64, 16GB hugepage
is supported, then 'offset' of folio can't be held in 'unsigned int',
cause warning in bio_add_folio_nofail() and IO failure.
Fix it by adjusting 'page' & trimming 'offset' so that `->bi_offset` won't
be overflow, and folio can be added to bio successfully.

Commit 8b10d3653735 ("f2fs: introduce FAULT_NO_SEGMENT") allows to trigger
no free segment fault in allocator, then it will update curseg->segno to
NULL_SEGNO, though, CP_ERROR_FLAG has been set, f2fs_write_inode() missed
to check the flag, and access invalid curseg->segno directly in below call
path, then resulting in panic:
- f2fs_write_inode
- f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready
- has_enough_free_secs
- has_not_enough_free_secs
- __get_secs_required
- has_curseg_enough_space
- get_ckpt_valid_blocks
: access invalid curseg->segno
To avoid this issue, let's:
- check CP_ERROR_FLAG flag in prior to f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready() in
f2fs_write_inode().
- in has_curseg_enough_space(), save curseg->segno into a temp variable,
and verify its validation before use.
