| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21901 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/bnxt_re: Add sanity checks on rdev validity There is a possibility that ulp_irq_stop and ulp_irq_start callbacks will be called when the device is in detached state. This can cause a crash due to NULL pointer dereference as the rdev is already freed. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21904 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: caif_virtio: fix wrong pointer check in cfv_probe() del_vqs() frees virtqueues, therefore cfv->vq_tx pointer should be checked for NULL before calling it, not cfv->vdev. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21908 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS: fix nfs_release_folio() to not deadlock via kcompactd writeback Add PF_KCOMPACTD flag and current_is_kcompactd() helper to check for it so nfs_release_folio() can skip calling nfs_wb_folio() from kcompactd. Otherwise NFS can deadlock waiting for kcompactd enduced writeback which recurses back to NFS (which triggers writeback to NFSD via NFS loopback mount on the same host, NFSD blocks waiting for XFS's call to __filemap_get_folio): 6070.550357] INFO: task kcompactd0:58 blocked for more than 4435 seconds. {--- [58] "kcompactd0" [<0>] folio_wait_bit+0xe8/0x200 [<0>] folio_wait_writeback+0x2b/0x80 [<0>] nfs_wb_folio+0x80/0x1b0 [nfs] [<0>] nfs_release_folio+0x68/0x130 [nfs] [<0>] split_huge_page_to_list_to_order+0x362/0x840 [<0>] migrate_pages_batch+0x43d/0xb90 [<0>] migrate_pages_sync+0x9a/0x240 [<0>] migrate_pages+0x93c/0x9f0 [<0>] compact_zone+0x8e2/0x1030 [<0>] compact_node+0xdb/0x120 [<0>] kcompactd+0x121/0x2e0 [<0>] kthread+0xcf/0x100 [<0>] ret_from_fork+0x31/0x40 [<0>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 ---} [[email protected]: fix build] | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21911 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: avoid deadlock on fence release Do scheduler queue fence release processing on a workqueue, rather than in the release function itself. Fixes deadlock issues such as the following: [ 607.400437] ============================================ [ 607.405755] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected [ 607.415500] -------------------------------------------- [ 607.420817] weston:zfq0/24149 is trying to acquire lock: [ 607.426131] ffff000017d041a0 (reservation_ww_class_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: pvr_gem_object_vunmap+0x40/0xc0 [powervr] [ 607.436728] but task is already holding lock: [ 607.442554] ffff000017d105a0 (reservation_ww_class_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: dma_buf_ioctl+0x250/0x554 [ 607.451727] other info that might help us debug this: [ 607.458245] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 607.464155] CPU0 [ 607.466601] ---- [ 607.469044] lock(reservation_ww_class_mutex); [ 607.473584] lock(reservation_ww_class_mutex); [ 607.478114] *** DEADLOCK *** | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21912 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: rcar: Use raw_spinlock to protect register access Use raw_spinlock in order to fix spurious messages about invalid context when spinlock debugging is enabled. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21917 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: renesas_usbhs: Flush the notify_hotplug_work When performing continuous unbind/bind operations on the USB drivers available on the Renesas RZ/G2L SoC, a kernel crash with the message "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address" may occur. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21918 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: ucsi: Fix NULL pointer access Resources should be released only after all threads that utilize them have been destroyed. This commit ensures that resources are not released prematurely by waiting for the associated workqueue to complete before deallocating them. | 5.5 |
| 2025-04-01 | CVE-2025-21922 | Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ppp: Fix KMSAN uninit-value warning with bpf Syzbot caught an "KMSAN: uninit-value" warning [1], which is caused by the ppp driver not initializing a 2-byte header when using socket filter. The following code can generate a PPP filter BPF program: ''' struct bpf_program fp; pcap_t *handle; handle = pcap_open_dead(DLT_PPP_PPPD, 65535); pcap_compile(handle, &fp, "ip and outbound", 0, 0); bpf_dump(&fp, 1); ''' Its output is: ''' (000) ldh [2] (001) jeq #0x21 jt 2 jf 5 (002) ldb [0] (003) jeq #0x1 jt 4 jf 5 (004) ret #65535 (005) ret #0 ''' Wen can find similar code at the following link: https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/blob/master/pppd/options.c#L1680 The maintainer of this code repository is also the original maintainer of the ppp driver. As you can see the BPF program skips 2 bytes of data and then reads the 'Protocol' field to determine if it's an IP packet. | 5.5 |
