Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In September 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Fix stack protector issue in send_ipi_data()
Function kvm_io_bus_read() is called in function send_ipi_data(), buffer
size of parameter *val should be at least 8 bytes. Since some emulation
functions like loongarch_ipi_readl() and kvm_eiointc_read() will write
the buffer *val with 8 bytes signed extension regardless parameter len.
Otherwise there will be buffer overflow issue when CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR
is enabled. The bug report is shown as follows:
Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: send_ipi_data+0x194/0x1a0 [kvm]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix a Null pointer dereference vulnerability
[Why]
A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the AMD display driver's
(DC module) cleanup function dc_destruct().
When display control context (dc->ctx) construction fails
(due to memory allocation failure), this pointer remains NULL.
During subsequent error handling when dc_destruct() is called,
there's no NULL check before dereferencing the perf_trace member
(dc->ctx->perf_trace), causing a kernel null pointer dereference crash.
[How]
Check if dc->ctx is non-NULL before dereferencing.
(Updated commit text and removed unnecessary error message)
(cherry picked from commit 9dd8e2ba268c636c240a918e0a31e6feaee19404)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Destroy KFD debugfs after destroy KFD wq
Since KFD proc content was moved to kernel debugfs, we can't destroy KFD
debugfs before kfd_process_destroy_wq. Move kfd_process_destroy_wq prior
to kfd_debugfs_fini to fix a kernel NULL pointer problem. It happens
when /sys/kernel/debug/kfd was already destroyed in kfd_debugfs_fini but
kfd_process_destroy_wq calls kfd_debugfs_remove_process. This line
debugfs_remove_recursive(entry->proc_dentry);
tries to remove /sys/kernel/debug/kfd/proc/<pid> while
/sys/kernel/debug/kfd is already gone. It hangs the kernel by kernel
NULL pointer.
(cherry picked from commit 0333052d90683d88531558dcfdbf2525cc37c233)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: check if hubbub is NULL in debugfs/amdgpu_dm_capabilities
HUBBUB structure is not initialized on DCE hardware, so check if it is NULL
to avoid null dereference while accessing amdgpu_dm_capabilities file in
debugfs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Avoid a NULL pointer dereference
[WHY]
Although unlikely drm_atomic_get_new_connector_state() or
drm_atomic_get_old_connector_state() can return NULL.
[HOW]
Check returns before dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/sclp: Fix SCCB present check
Tracing code called by the SCLP interrupt handler contains early exits
if the SCCB address associated with an interrupt is NULL. This check is
performed after physical to virtual address translation.
If the kernel identity mapping does not start at address zero, the
resulting virtual address is never zero, so that the NULL checks won't
work. Subsequently this may result in incorrect accesses to the first
page of the identity mapping.
Fix this by introducing a function that handles the NULL case before
address translation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Flush delayed SKBs while releasing RXE resources
When skb packets are sent out, these skb packets still depends on
the rxe resources, for example, QP, sk, when these packets are
destroyed.
If these rxe resources are released when the skb packets are destroyed,
the call traces will appear.
To avoid skb packets hang too long time in some network devices,
a timestamp is added when these skb packets are created. If these
skb packets hang too long time in network devices, these network
devices can free these skb packets to release rxe resources.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: tas2781: Fix wrong reference of tasdevice_priv
During the conversion to unify the calibration data management, the
reference to tasdevice_priv was wrongly set to h->hda_priv instead of
h->priv. This resulted in memory corruption and crashes eventually.
Unfortunately it's a void pointer, hence the compiler couldn't know
that it's wrong.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Fix a race when updating an existing write
After nfs_lock_and_join_requests() tests for whether the request is
still attached to the mapping, nothing prevents a call to
nfs_inode_remove_request() from succeeding until we actually lock the
page group.
The reason is that whoever called nfs_inode_remove_request() doesn't
necessarily have a lock on the page group head.
So in order to avoid races, let's take the page group lock earlier in
nfs_lock_and_join_requests(), and hold it across the removal of the
request in nfs_inode_remove_request().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/futex: ensure io_futex_wait() cleans up properly on failure
The io_futex_data is allocated upfront and assigned to the io_kiocb
async_data field, but the request isn't marked with REQ_F_ASYNC_DATA
at that point. Those two should always go together, as the flag tells
io_uring whether the field is valid or not.
Additionally, on failure cleanup, the futex handler frees the data but
does not clear ->async_data. Clear the data and the flag in the error
path as well.
Thanks to Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative and particularly ReDress for
reporting this.
