Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: mt76x02u: fix possible memory leak in __mt76x02u_mcu_send_msg
Free the skb if mt76u_bulk_msg fails in __mt76x02u_mcu_send_msg routine.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/mdp5: Fix global state lock backoff
We need to grab the lock after the early return for !hwpipe case.
Otherwise, we could have hit contention yet still returned 0.
Fixes an issue that the new CONFIG_DRM_DEBUG_MODESET_LOCK stuff flagged

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hinic: avoid kernel hung in hinic_get_stats64()
When using hinic device as a bond slave device, and reading device stats
of master bond device, the kernel may hung.
The kernel panic calltrace as follows:

When getting device stats from bond, kernel will call bond_get_stats().
It first holds the spinlock bond->stats_lock, and then call
hinic_get_stats64() to collect hinic device's stats.
However, hinic_get_stats64() calls `down(&nic_dev->mgmt_lock)` to
protect its critical section, which may schedule current task out.
And if system is under high pressure, the task cannot be woken up
immediately, which eventually triggers kernel hung panic.
Since previous patch has replaced hinic_dev.tx_stats/rx_stats with local
variable in hinic_get_stats64(), there is nothing need to be protected
by lock, so just removing down()/up() is ok.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: tw686x: Fix memory leak in tw686x_video_init
video_device_alloc() allocates memory for vdev,
when video_register_device() fails, it doesn't release the memory and
leads to memory leak, call video_device_release() to fix this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mcde: Fix refcount leak in mcde_dsi_bind
Every iteration of for_each_available_child_of_node() decrements
the reference counter of the previous node. There is no decrement
when break out from the loop and results in refcount leak.
Add missing of_node_put() to fix this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memory bounds
Presently ima_get_kexec_buffer() doesn't check if the previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer lies outside the addressable memory range. This can result
in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the
ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel.
The panic is usually of the form below:
$ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G'

Fix this issue by checking returned PFN range of previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer with page_is_ram() to ensure correct memory bounds.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: maps: Fix refcount leak in ap_flash_init
of_find_matching_node() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: maps: Fix refcount leak in of_flash_probe_versatile
of_find_matching_node_and_match() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libertas: Fix possible refcount leak in if_usb_probe()
usb_get_dev will be called before lbs_get_firmware_async which means that
usb_put_dev need to be called when lbs_get_firmware_async fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: fix incorrect dev_tracker usage
While investigating a separate rose issue [1], and enabling
CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER=y, Bernard reported an orthogonal ax25 issue [2]
An ax25_dev can be used by one (or many) struct ax25_cb.
We thus need different dev_tracker, one per struct ax25_cb.
After this patch is applied, we are able to focus on rose.
