Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: platform_profile: Avoid initializing on non-ACPI platforms
The platform profile driver is loaded even on platforms that do not have
ACPI enabled. The initialization of the sysfs entries was recently moved
from platform_profile_register() to the module init call, and those
entries need acpi_kobj to be initialized which is not the case when ACPI
is disabled.
This results in the following warning:

Fix this by checking if ACPI is enabled before trying to create sysfs
entries.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: EM: Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs()
When the device is of a non-CPU type, table[i].performance won't be
initialized in the previous em_init_performance(), resulting in division
by zero when calculating costs in em_compute_costs().
Since the 'cost' algorithm is only used for EAS energy efficiency
calculations and is currently not utilized by other device drivers, we
should add the _is_cpu_device(dev) check to prevent this division-by-zero
issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/skx_common: Fix general protection fault
After loading i10nm_edac (which automatically loads skx_edac_common), if
unload only i10nm_edac, then reload it and perform error injection testing,
a general protection fault may occur:
mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
Oops: general protection fault ...
...
Workqueue: events mce_gen_pool_process
RIP: 0010:string+0x53/0xe0
...
Call Trace:

skx_mce_check_error+0x17/0x20 [skx_edac_common]
...
The issue arose was because the variable 'adxl_component_count' (inside
skx_edac_common), which counts the ADXL components, was not reset. During
the reloading of i10nm_edac, the count was incremented by the actual number
of ADXL components again, resulting in a count that was double the real
number of ADXL components. This led to an out-of-bounds reference to the
ADXL component array, causing the general protection fault above.
Fix this issue by resetting the 'adxl_component_count' in adxl_put(),
which is called during the unloading of {skx,i10nm}_edac.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: mt8195: Set ETDM1/2 IN/OUT to COMP_DUMMY()
ETDM2_IN_BE and ETDM1_OUT_BE are defined as COMP_EMPTY(),
in the case the codec dai_name will be null.
Avoid a crash if the device tree is not assigning a codec
to these links.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: sun8i-ce-cipher - fix error handling in sun8i_ce_cipher_prepare()
Fix two DMA cleanup issues on the error path in sun8i_ce_cipher_prepare():
1] If dma_map_sg() fails for areq->dst, the device driver would try to free
DMA memory it has not allocated in the first place. To fix this, on the
"theend_sgs" error path, call dma unmap only if the corresponding dma
map was successful.
2] If the dma_map_single() call for the IV fails, the device driver would
try to free an invalid DMA memory address on the "theend_iv" path:

dma_unmap_single() on the "theend_iv" path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: unbreak driver after cleanup
Commit 29be47fcd6a0 ("nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem_probe cleanup")
changed the driver to expect the device pointer to be passed as the
"context", but in nvmem the context parameter comes from nvmem_config.priv
which is never set - Leading to null pointer exceptions when the device is
accessed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: don't use submit_bio_noacct_nocheck in blk_zone_wplug_bio_work
Bios queued up in the zone write plug have already gone through all all
preparation in the submit_bio path, including the freeze protection.
Submitting them through submit_bio_noacct_nocheck duplicates the work
and can can cause deadlocks when freezing a queue with pending bio
write plugs.
Go straight to ->submit_bio or blk_mq_submit_bio to bypass the
superfluous extra freeze protection and checks.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: at91: Fix possible out-of-boundary access
at91_gpio_probe() doesn't check that given OF alias is not available or
something went wrong when trying to get it. This might have consequences
when accessing gpio_chips array with that value as an index. Note, that
BUG() can be compiled out and hence won't actually perform the required
checks.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/cm: Drop lockdep assert and WARN when freeing old msg
The send completion handler can run after cm_id has advanced to another
message. The cm_id lock is not needed in this case, but a recent change
re-used cm_free_priv_msg(), which asserts that the lock is held and
WARNs if the cm_id's currently outstanding msg is different than the one
being freed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: smartpqi: Fix smp_processor_id() call trace for preemptible kernels
Correct kernel call trace when calling smp_processor_id() when called in
preemptible kernels by using raw_smp_processor_id().
smp_processor_id() checks to see if preemption is disabled and if not,
issue an error message followed by a call to dump_stack().
