| 2025-04-08 | CVE-2025-22010 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix soft lockup during bt pages loop Driver runs a for-loop when allocating bt pages and mapping them with buffer pages. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-08 | CVE-2025-22012 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845: Affirm IDR0.CCTW on apps_smmu" There are reports that the pagetable walker cache coherency is not a given across the spectrum of SDM845/850 devices, leading to lock-ups and resets. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-08 | CVE-2025-22014 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: qcom: pdr: Fix the potential deadlock When some client process A call pdr_add_lookup() to add the look up for the service and does schedule locator work, later a process B got a new server packet indicating locator is up and call pdr_locator_new_server() which eventually sets pdr->locator_init_complete to true which process A sees and takes list lock and queries domain list but it will timeout due to deadlock as the response will queued to the same qmi->wq and it is ordered workqueue and process B is not able to complete new server request work due to deadlock on list lock. Fix it by removing the unnecessary list iteration as the list iteration is already being done inside locator work, so avoid it here and just call schedule_work() here. Process A Process B process_scheduled_works() pdr_add_lookup() qmi_data_ready_work() process_scheduled_works() pdr_locator_new_server() pdr->locator_init_complete=true; pdr_locator_work() mutex_lock(&pdr->list_lock); pdr_locate_service() mutex_lock(&pdr->list_lock); pdr_get_domain_list() pr_err("PDR: %s get domain list txn wait failed: %d\n", req->service_name, ret); Timeout error log due to deadlock: " PDR: tms/servreg get domain list txn wait failed: -110 PDR: service lookup for msm/adsp/sensor_pd:tms/servreg failed: -110 " Thanks to Bjorn and Johan for letting me know that this commit also fixes an audio regression when using the in-kernel pd-mapper as that makes it easier to hit this race. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21951 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bus: mhi: host: pci_generic: Use pci_try_reset_function() to avoid deadlock There are multiple places from where the recovery work gets scheduled asynchronously. | 5.5 |
| 2025-03-27 | CVE-2022-49742 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: initialize locks earlier in f2fs_fill_super() syzbot is reporting lockdep warning at f2fs_handle_error() [1], for spin_lock(&sbi->error_lock) is called before spin_lock_init() is called. For safe locking in error handling, move initialization of locks (and obvious structures) in f2fs_fill_super() to immediately after memory allocation. | 5.5 |
| 2025-03-27 | CVE-2023-53013 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptdma: pt_core_execute_cmd() should use spinlock The interrupt handler (pt_core_irq_handler()) of the ptdma driver can be called from interrupt context. | 5.5 |
| 2025-03-12 | CVE-2024-58088 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix deadlock when freeing cgroup storage The following commit bc235cdb423a ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]") first introduced deadlock prevention for fentry/fexit programs attaching on bpf_task_storage helpers. | 5.5 |
| 2025-03-12 | CVE-2025-21849 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/gt: Use spin_lock_irqsave() in interruptible context spin_lock/unlock() functions used in interrupt contexts could result in a deadlock, as seen in GitLab issue #13399, which occurs when interrupt comes in while holding a lock. Try to remedy the problem by saving irq state before spin lock acquisition. v2: add irqs' state save/restore calls to all locks/unlocks in signal_irq_work() execution (Maciej) v3: use with spin_lock_irqsave() in guc_lrc_desc_unpin() instead of other lock/unlock calls and add Fixes and Cc tags (Tvrtko); change title and commit message (cherry picked from commit c088387ddd6482b40f21ccf23db1125e8fa4af7e) | 5.5 |
| 2025-03-12 | CVE-2025-21851 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix softlockup in arena_map_free on 64k page kernel On an aarch64 kernel with CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB=y, arena_htab tests cause a segmentation fault and soft lockup. The same failure is not observed with 4k pages on aarch64. It turns out arena_map_free() is calling apply_to_existing_page_range() with the address returned by bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start(). | 3.3 |
| 2025-03-12 | CVE-2025-21859 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: gadget: f_midi: f_midi_complete to call queue_work When using USB MIDI, a lock is attempted to be acquired twice through a re-entrant call to f_midi_transmit, causing a deadlock. Fix it by using queue_work() to schedule the inner f_midi_transmit() via a high priority work queue from the completion handler. | 5.5 |
