Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: qcom-qmp-usb: Fix an NULL vs IS_ERR() bug
The qmp_usb_iomap() helper function currently returns the raw result of
devm_ioremap() for non-exclusive mappings. Since devm_ioremap() may return
a NULL pointer and the caller only checks error pointers with IS_ERR(),
NULL could bypass the check and lead to an invalid dereference.
Fix the issue by checking if devm_ioremap() returns NULL. When it does,
qmp_usb_iomap() now returns an error pointer via IOMEM_ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM),
ensuring safe and consistent error handling.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/dax: Fix "don't skip locked entries when scanning entries"
Commit 6be3e21d25ca ("fs/dax: don't skip locked entries when scanning
entries") introduced a new function, wait_entry_unlocked_exclusive(),
which waits for the current entry to become unlocked without advancing
the XArray iterator state.
Waiting for the entry to become unlocked requires dropping the XArray
lock. This requires calling xas_pause() prior to dropping the lock
which leaves the xas in a suitable state for the next iteration. However
this has the side-effect of advancing the xas state to the next index.
Normally this isn't an issue because xas_for_each() contains code to
detect this state and thus avoid advancing the index a second time on
the next loop iteration.
However both callers of and wait_entry_unlocked_exclusive() itself
subsequently use the xas state to reload the entry. As xas_pause()
updated the state to the next index this will cause the current entry
which is being waited on to be skipped. This caused the following
warning to fire intermittently when running xftest generic/068 on an XFS
filesystem with FS DAX enabled:

A flaw was found in GnuTLS. A double-free vulnerability exists in GnuTLS due to incorrect ownership handling in the export logic of Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries containing an otherName. If the type-id OID is invalid or malformed, GnuTLS will call asn1_delete_structure() on an ASN.1 node it does not own, leading to a double-free condition when the parent function or caller later attempts to free the same structure.
This vulnerability can be triggered using only public GnuTLS APIs and may result in denial of service or memory corruption, depending on allocator behavior.
A heap-buffer-overread vulnerability was found in GnuTLS in how it handles the Certificate Transparency (CT) Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT) extension during X.509 certificate parsing. This flaw allows a malicious user to create a certificate containing a malformed SCT extension (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.4.2) that contains sensitive data. This issue leads to the exposure of confidential information when GnuTLS verifies certificates from certain websites when the certificate (SCT) is not checked correctly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: mediatek: eint: Fix invalid pointer dereference for v1 platforms
Commit 3ef9f710efcb ("pinctrl: mediatek: Add EINT support for multiple
addresses") introduced an access to the 'soc' field of struct
mtk_pinctrl in mtk_eint_do_init() and for that an include of
pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.h.
However, pinctrl drivers relying on the v1 common driver include
pinctrl-mtk-common.h instead, which provides another definition of
struct mtk_pinctrl that does not contain an 'soc' field.
Since mtk_eint_do_init() can be called both by v1 and v2 drivers, it
will now try to dereference an invalid pointer when called on v1
platforms. This has been observed on Genio 350 EVK (MT8365), which
crashes very early in boot (the kernel trace can only be seen with
earlycon).
In order to fix this, since 'struct mtk_pinctrl' was only needed to get
a 'struct mtk_eint_pin', make 'struct mtk_eint_pin' a parameter
of mtk_eint_do_init() so that callers need to supply it, removing
mtk_eint_do_init()'s dependency on any particular 'struct mtk_pinctrl'.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Do not trigger WARN_ON() due to a commit_overrun
When reading a memory mapped buffer the reader page is just swapped out
with the last page written in the write buffer. If the reader page is the
same as the commit buffer (the buffer that is currently being written to)
it was assumed that it should never have missed events. If it does, it
triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE().
But there just happens to be one scenario where this can legitimately
happen. That is on a commit_overrun. A commit overrun is when an interrupt
preempts an event being written to the buffer and then the interrupt adds
so many new events that it fills and wraps the buffer back to the commit.
Any new events would then be dropped and be reported as "missed_events".
In this case, the next page to read is the commit buffer and after the
swap of the reader page, the reader page will be the commit buffer, but
this time there will be missed events and this triggers the following
warning:

The above was triggered by running on a kernel with both lockdep and KASAN
as well as kmemleak enabled and executing the following command:
# perf record -o perf-test.dat -a -- trace-cmd record --nosplice -e all -p function hackbench 50
With perf interjecting a lot of interrupts and trace-cmd enabling all
events as well as function tracing, with lockdep, KASAN and kmemleak
enabled, it could cause an interrupt preempting an event being written to
add enough event

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: move tcpm_queue_vdm_unlocked to asynchronous work
A state check was previously added to tcpm_queue_vdm_unlocked to
prevent a deadlock where the DisplayPort Alt Mode driver would be
executing work and attempting to grab the tcpm_lock while the TCPM
was holding the lock and attempting to unregister the altmode, blocking
on the altmode driver's cancel_work_sync call.
Because the state check isn't protected, there is a small window
where the Alt Mode driver could determine that the TCPM is
in a ready state and attempt to grab the lock while the
TCPM grabs the lock and changes the TCPM state to one that
causes the deadlock. The callstack is provided below:

Change tcpm_queue_vdm_unlocked to queue for tcpm_queue_vdm_work,
which can perform the state check while holding the TCPM lock
while the Alt Mode lock is no longer held. This requires a new
struct to hold the vdm data, altmode_vdm_event.
The Hostel WordPress plugin before 1.1.5.9 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
The Hostel WordPress plugin before 1.1.5.8 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.
