Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Avoid potential ndlp use-after-free in dev_loss_tmo_callbk
Smatch detected a potential use-after-free of an ndlp oject in
dev_loss_tmo_callbk during driver unload or fatal error handling.
Fix by reordering code to avoid potential use-after-free if initial
nodelist reference has been previously removed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix node corruption in ar->arvifs list
In current WLAN recovery code flow, ath12k_core_halt() only reinitializes
the "arvifs" list head. This will cause the list node immediately following
the list head to become an invalid list node. Because the prev of that node
still points to the list head "arvifs", but the next of the list head
"arvifs" no longer points to that list node.
When a WLAN recovery occurs during the execution of a vif removal, and it
happens before the spin_lock_bh(&ar->data_lock) in
ath12k_mac_vdev_delete(), list_del() will detect the previously mentioned
situation, thereby triggering a kernel panic.
The fix is to remove and reinitialize all vif list nodes from the list head
"arvifs" during WLAN halt. The reinitialization is to make the list nodes
valid, ensuring that the list_del() in ath12k_mac_vdev_delete() can execute
normally.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Prevent sending WMI commands to firmware during firmware crash
Currently, we encounter the following kernel call trace when a firmware
crash occurs. This happens because the host sends WMI commands to the
firmware while it is in recovery, causing the commands to fail and
resulting in the kernel call trace.
Set the ATH12K_FLAG_CRASH_FLUSH and ATH12K_FLAG_RECOVERY flags when the
host driver receives the firmware crash notification from MHI. This
prevents sending WMI commands to the firmware during recovery.
Call Trace:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix invalid access to memory
In ath12k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce(), rxcb is fetched from skb and boolean
is_continuation is part of rxcb.
Currently, after freeing the skb, the rxcb->is_continuation accessed
again which is wrong since the memory is already freed.
This might lead use-after-free error.
Hence, fix by locally defining bool is_continuation from rxcb,
so that after freeing skb, is_continuation can be used.
Compile tested only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: nand: ecc-mxic: Fix use of uninitialized variable ret
If ctx->steps is zero, the loop processing ECC steps is skipped,
and the variable ret remains uninitialized. It is later checked
and returned, which leads to undefined behavior and may cause
unpredictable results in user space or kernel crashes.
This scenario can be triggered in edge cases such as misconfigured
geometry, ECC engine misuse, or if ctx->steps is not validated
after initialization.
Initialize ret to zero before the loop to ensure correct and safe
behavior regardless of the ctx->steps value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: QOS: Refactor TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callback
This patch addresses below issues,
1. Active traffic on the leaf node must be stopped before its send queue
is reassigned to the parent. This patch resolves the issue by marking
the node as 'Inner'.
2. During a system reboot, the interface receives TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL
and TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callbacks to delete its HTB queues.
In the case of TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST, although the same send queue
is reassigned to the parent, the current logic still attempts to update
the real number of queues, leadning to below warnings
New queues can't be registered after device unregistration.

When creating bpf program, 'fp->jit_requested' depends on bpf_jit_enable.
This issue is triggered because of CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set
and bpf_jit_enable is set to 1, causing the arch to attempt JIT the prog,
but jit failed due to FAULT_INJECTION. As a result, incorrectly
treats the program as valid, when the program runs it calls
`__bpf_prog_ret0_warn` and triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(1).
