Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: eir: Fix possible crashes on eir_create_adv_data
eir_create_adv_data may attempt to add EIR_FLAGS and EIR_TX_POWER
without checking if that would fit.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix NULL pointer deference on eir_get_service_data
The len parameter is considered optional so it can be NULL so it cannot
be used for skipping to next entry of EIR_SERVICE_DATA.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptp: remove ptp->n_vclocks check logic in ptp_vclock_in_use()
There is no disagreement that we should check both ptp->is_virtual_clock
and ptp->n_vclocks to check if the ptp virtual clock is in use.
However, when we acquire ptp->n_vclocks_mux to read ptp->n_vclocks in
ptp_vclock_in_use(), we observe a recursive lock in the call trace
starting from n_vclocks_store().
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.15.0-rc6 #1 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
syz.0.1540/13807 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888030704868 (&ptp->n_vclocks_mux){+.+.}-{4:4}, at:
n_vclocks_store+0xf1/0x6d0 drivers/ptp/ptp_sysfs.c:215
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux);
lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux);
*** DEADLOCK ***
....
============================================
The best way to solve this is to remove the logic that checks
ptp->n_vclocks in ptp_vclock_in_use().
The reason why this is appropriate is that any path that uses
ptp->n_vclocks must unconditionally check if ptp->n_vclocks is greater
than 0 before unregistering vclocks, and all functions are already
written this way. And in the function that uses ptp->n_vclocks, we
already get ptp->n_vclocks_mux before unregistering vclocks.
Therefore, we need to remove the redundant check for ptp->n_vclocks in
ptp_vclock_in_use() to prevent recursive locking.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/fhandle.c: fix a race in call of has_locked_children()
may_decode_fh() is calling has_locked_children() while holding no locks.
That's an oopsable race...
The rest of the callers are safe since they are holding namespace_sem and
are guaranteed a positive refcount on the mount in question.
Rename the current has_locked_children() to __has_locked_children(), make
it static and switch the fs/namespace.c users to it.
Make has_locked_children() a wrapper for __has_locked_children(), calling
the latter under read_seqlock_excl(&mount_lock).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: avs: Verify content returned by parse_int_array()
The first element of the returned array stores its length. If it is 0,
any manipulation beyond the element at index 0 ends with null-ptr-deref.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix possible null-ptr-deref when initing hw
Search result of avs_dai_find_path_template() shall be verified before
being used. As 'template' is already known when
avs_hw_constraints_init() is fired, drop the search entirely.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/vm: move xe_svm_init() earlier
In xe_vm_close_and_put() we need to be able to call xe_svm_fini(),
however during vm creation we can call this on the error path, before
having actually initialised the svm state, leading to various splats
followed by a fatal NPD.
(cherry picked from commit 4f296d77cf49fcb5f90b4674123ad7f3a0676165)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seg6: Fix validation of nexthop addresses
The kernel currently validates that the length of the provided nexthop
address does not exceed the specified length. This can lead to the
kernel reading uninitialized memory if user space provided a shorter
length than the specified one.
Fix by validating that the provided length exactly matches the specified
one.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix NULL access in assign channel context handler
Currently, when ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev() fails, the radio handle
(ar) gets accessed from the link VIF handle (arvif) for debug logging, This
is incorrect. In the fail scenario, radio handle is NULL. Fix the NULL
access, avoid radio handle access by moving to the hardware debug logging
helper function (ath12k_hw_warn).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/amlogic: Replace smp_processor_id() with raw_smp_processor_id() in meson_ddr_pmu_create()
The Amlogic DDR PMU driver meson_ddr_pmu_create() function incorrectly uses
smp_processor_id(), which assumes disabled preemption. This leads to kernel
warnings during module loading because meson_ddr_pmu_create() can be called
in a preemptible context.

Changes replaces smp_processor_id() with raw_smp_processor_id() to
ensure safe CPU ID retrieval in preemptible contexts.
