Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix reference count leak in aa_pivotroot()
The aa_pivotroot() function has a reference counting bug in a specific
path. When aa_replace_current_label() returns on success, the function
forgets to decrement the reference count of “target”, which is
increased earlier by build_pivotroot(), causing a reference leak.
Fix it by decreasing the refcount of “target” in that path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/eprobes: Do not allow eprobes to use $stack, or % for regs
While playing with event probes (eprobes), I tried to see what would
happen if I attempted to retrieve the instruction pointer (%rip) knowing
that event probes do not use pt_regs. The result was:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000024

Obviously this is not the desired result.
Move the testing for TPARG_FL_TPOINT which is only used for event probes
to the top of the "$" variable check, as all the other variables are not
used for event probes. Also add a check in the register parsing "%" to
fail if an event probe is used.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check correct bounds for stream encoder instances for DCN303
[Why & How]
eng_id for DCN303 cannot be more than 1, since we have only two
instances of stream encoders.
Check the correct boundary condition for engine ID for DCN303 prevent
the potential out of bounds access.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tee: add overflow check in register_shm_helper()
With special lengths supplied by user space, register_shm_helper() has
an integer overflow when calculating the number of pages covered by a
supplied user space memory region.
This causes internal_get_user_pages_fast() a helper function of
pin_user_pages_fast() to do a NULL pointer dereference:

early.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: felix: suppress non-changes to the tagging protocol
The way in which dsa_tree_change_tag_proto() works is that when
dsa_tree_notify() fails, it doesn't know whether the operation failed
mid way in a multi-switch tree, or it failed for a single-switch tree.
So even though drivers need to fail cleanly in
ds->ops->change_tag_protocol(), DSA will still call dsa_tree_notify()
again, to restore the old tag protocol for potential switches in the
tree where the change did succeeed (before failing for others).
This means for the felix driver that if we report an error in
felix_change_tag_protocol(), we'll get another call where proto_ops ==
old_proto_ops. If we proceed to act upon that, we may do unexpected
things. For example, we will call dsa_tag_8021q_register() twice in a
row, without any dsa_tag_8021q_unregister() in between. Then we will
actually call dsa_tag_8021q_unregister() via old_proto_ops->teardown,
which (if it manages to run at all, after walking through corrupted data
structures) will leave the ports inoperational anyway.
The bug can be readily reproduced if we force an error while in
tag_8021q mode; this crashes the kernel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-blk: Avoid use-after-free on suspend/resume
hctx->user_data is set to vq in virtblk_init_hctx(). However, vq is
freed on suspend and reallocated on resume. So, hctx->user_data is
invalid after resume, and it will cause use-after-free accessing which
will result in the kernel crash something like below:

This patch fixes this issue by getting vq from vblk, and removes
virtblk_init_hctx().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_net: fix memory leak inside XPD_TX with mergeable
When we call xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() to get xdpf, if it returns
NULL, we should check if xdp_page was allocated by xdp_linearize_page().
If it is newly allocated, it should be freed here alone. Just like any
other "goto err_xdp".
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: fix aq_vec index out of range error
The final update statement of the for loop exceeds the array range, the
dereference of self->aq_vec[i] is not checked and then leads to the
index out of range error.
Also fixed this kind of coding style in other for loop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: unset reloc control if transaction commit fails in prepare_to_relocate()
In btrfs_relocate_block_group(), the rc is allocated. Then
btrfs_relocate_block_group() calls
relocate_block_group()
prepare_to_relocate()
set_reloc_control()
that assigns rc to the variable fs_info->reloc_ctl. When
prepare_to_relocate() returns, it calls
btrfs_commit_transaction()
btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups()
btrfs_alloc_path()
kmem_cache_zalloc()
which may fail for example (or other errors could happen). When the
failure occurs, btrfs_relocate_block_group() detects the error and frees
rc and doesn't set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL. After that, in
btrfs_init_reloc_root(), rc is retrieved from fs_info->reloc_ctl and
then used, which may cause a use-after-free bug.
This possible bug can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance()
before calling btrfs_ioctl_defrag().
To fix this possible bug, in prepare_to_relocate(), check if
btrfs_commit_transaction() fails. If the failure occurs,
unset_reloc_control() is called to set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL.
The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:
