Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Clear tcp_sk(sk)->fastopen_rsk in tcp_disconnect().
syzbot reported the splat below where a socket had tcp_sk(sk)->fastopen_rsk
in the TCP_ESTABLISHED state. [0]
syzbot reused the server-side TCP Fast Open socket as a new client before
the TFO socket completes 3WHS:
1. accept()
2. connect(AF_UNSPEC)
3. connect() to another destination
As of accept(), sk->sk_state is TCP_SYN_RECV, and tcp_disconnect() changes
it to TCP_CLOSE and makes connect() possible, which restarts timers.
Since tcp_disconnect() forgot to clear tcp_sk(sk)->fastopen_rsk, the
retransmit timer triggered the warning and the intended packet was not
retransmitted.
Let's call reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_disconnect().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: don't fail igc_probe() on LED setup error
When igc_led_setup() fails, igc_probe() fails and triggers kernel panic
in free_netdev() since unregister_netdev() is not called. [1]
This behavior can be tested using fault-injection framework, especially
the failslab feature. [2]
Since LED support is not mandatory, treat LED setup failures as
non-fatal and continue probe with a warning message, consequently
avoiding the kernel panic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: sunxi-ng: mp: Fix dual-divider clock rate readback
When dual-divider clock support was introduced, the P divider offset was
left out of the .recalc_rate readback function. This causes the clock
rate to become bogus or even zero (possibly due to the P divider being
1, leading to a divide-by-zero).
Fix this by incorporating the P divider offset into the calculation.
