Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier
Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier to fix a race
condition between unloading and reloading kernel modules. This fixes a bug
introduced in 2009 by commit 77c019768f06 ("[SCSI] fix /proc memory leak in
the SCSI core").
Fix the following kernel warning:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: tcp_make_synack() can be called from process context
tcp_rtx_synack() now could be called in process context as explained in
0a375c822497 ("tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process
context").
tcp_rtx_synack() might call tcp_make_synack(), which will touch per-CPU
variables with preemption enabled. This causes the following BUG:
BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ThriftIO1/5464

Avoid calling __TCP_INC_STATS() with will touch per-cpu variables. Use
TCP_INC_STATS() which is safe to be called from context switch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: s390: Fix use-after-free of PCI resources with per-function hotplug
On s390 PCI functions may be hotplugged individually even when they
belong to a multi-function device. In particular on an SR-IOV device VFs
may be removed and later re-added.
In commit a50297cf8235 ("s390/pci: separate zbus creation from
scanning") it was missed however that struct pci_bus and struct
zpci_bus's resource list retained a reference to the PCI functions MMIO
resources even though those resources are released and freed on
hot-unplug. These stale resources may subsequently be claimed when the
PCI function re-appears resulting in use-after-free.
One idea of fixing this use-after-free in s390 specific code that was
investigated was to simply keep resources around from the moment a PCI
function first appeared until the whole virtual PCI bus created for
a multi-function device disappears. The problem with this however is
that due to the requirement of artificial MMIO addreesses (address
cookies) extra logic is then needed to keep the address cookies
compatible on re-plug. At the same time the MMIO resources semantically
belong to the PCI function so tying their lifecycle to the function
seems more logical.
Instead a simpler approach is to remove the resources of an individually
hot-unplugged PCI function from the PCI bus's resource list while
keeping the resources of other PCI functions on the PCI bus untouched.
This is done by introducing pci_bus_remove_resource() to remove an
individual resource. Similarly the resource also needs to be removed
from the struct zpci_bus's resource list. It turns out however, that
there is really no need to add the MMIO resources to the struct
zpci_bus's resource list at all and instead we can simply use the
zpci_bar_struct's resource pointer directly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix NULL pointer access in mpt3sas_transport_port_add()
Port is allocated by sas_port_alloc_num() and rphy is allocated by either
sas_end_device_alloc() or sas_expander_alloc(), all of which may return
NULL. So we need to check the rphy to avoid possible NULL pointer access.
If sas_rphy_add() returned with failure, rphy is set to NULL. We would
access the rphy in the following lines which would also result NULL pointer
access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: smsc75xx: Limit packet length to skb->len
Packet length retrieved from skb data may be larger than
the actual socket buffer length (up to 9026 bytes). In such
case the cloned skb passed up the network stack will leak
kernel memory contents.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: Fix use-after-free issues
do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or
asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails.
Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd() such that it does not dereference 'cmd' nor
'rq' after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure that the request
has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054
