Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: mops: Do not dereference src reg for a set operation
The source register is not used for SET* and reading it can result in
a UBSAN out-of-bounds array access error, specifically when the MOPS
exception is taken from a SET* sequence with XZR (reg 31) as the
source. Architecturally this is the only case where a src/dst/size
field in the ESR can be reported as 31.
Prior to 2de451a329cf662b the code in do_el0_mops() was benign as the
use of pt_regs_read_reg() prevented the out-of-bounds access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/ivpu: Fix deadlock in ivpu_ms_cleanup()
Fix deadlock in ivpu_ms_cleanup() by preventing runtime resume after
file_priv->ms_lock is acquired.
During a failure in runtime resume, a cold boot is executed, which
calls ivpu_ms_cleanup_all(). This function calls ivpu_ms_cleanup()
that acquires file_priv->ms_lock and causes the deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/ivpu: Fix PM related deadlocks in MS IOCTLs
Prevent runtime resume/suspend while MS IOCTLs are in progress.
Failed suspend will call ivpu_ms_cleanup() that would try to acquire
file_priv->ms_lock, which is already held by the IOCTLs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Tear down vGIC on failed vCPU creation
If kvm_arch_vcpu_create() fails to share the vCPU page with the
hypervisor, we propagate the error back to the ioctl but leave the
vGIC vCPU data initialised. Note only does this leak the corresponding
memory when the vCPU is destroyed but it can also lead to use-after-free
if the redistributor device handling tries to walk into the vCPU.
Add the missing cleanup to kvm_arch_vcpu_create(), ensuring that the
vGIC vCPU structures are destroyed on error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pwm: mediatek: Prevent divide-by-zero in pwm_mediatek_config()
With CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST && !CONFIG_HAVE_CLK, pwm_mediatek_config() has a
divide-by-zero in the following line:
do_div(resolution, clk_get_rate(pc->clk_pwms[pwm->hwpwm]));
due to the fact that the !CONFIG_HAVE_CLK version of clk_get_rate()
returns zero.
This is presumably just a theoretical problem: COMPILE_TEST overrides
the dependency on RALINK which would select COMMON_CLK. Regardless it's
a good idea to check for the error explicitly to avoid divide-by-zero.
Fixes the following warning:
drivers/pwm/pwm-mediatek.o: warning: objtool: .text: unexpected end of section
[ukleinek: s/CONFIG_CLK/CONFIG_HAVE_CLK/]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Fix reference leak in pci_register_host_bridge()
If device_register() fails, call put_device() to give up the reference to
avoid a memory leak, per the comment at device_register().
Found by code review.

Two WARNINGs are observed when SMMU driver rolls back upon failure:

devm_action_release+0x1c/0x40
This is because the LVCMDQ queue memory are managed by devres, while that
dmam_free_coherent() is called in the context of devm_action_release().
Jason pointed out that "arm_smmu_impl_probe() has mis-ordered the devres
callbacks if ops->device_remove() is going to be manually freeing things
that probe allocated":
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20250407174408.GB1722458@nvidia.com/
In fact, tegra241_cmdqv_init_structures() only allocates memory resources
which means any failure that it generates would be similar to -ENOMEM, so
there is no point in having that "falling back to standard SMMU" routine,
as the standard SMMU would likely fail to allocate memory too.
Remove the unwind part in tegra241_cmdqv_init_structures(), and return a
proper error code to ask SMMU driver to call tegra241_cmdqv_remove() via
impl_ops->device_remove(). Then, drop tegra241_vintf_free_lvcmdq() since
devres will take care of that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: remove wrong sb->s_sequence check
Journal emptiness is not determined by sb->s_sequence == 0 but rather by
sb->s_start == 0 (which is set a few lines above). Furthermore 0 is a
valid transaction ID so the check can spuriously trigger. Remove the
invalid WARN_ON.
