CVE-2024-27419 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netrom: Fix data-races around sysctl_net_busy_read We need to protect the reader reading the sysctl value because the value can be changed concurrently.
CVE-2024-27075 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dvb-frontends: avoid stack overflow warnings with clang A previous patch worked around a KASAN issue in stv0367, now a similar problem showed up with clang: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367.c:1222:12: error: stack frame size (3624) exceeds limit (2048) in 'stv0367ter_set_frontend' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than] 1214 | static int stv0367ter_set_frontend(struct dvb_frontend *fe) Rework the stv0367_writereg() function to be simpler and mark both register access functions as noinline_for_stack so the temporary i2c_msg structures do not get duplicated on the stack when KASAN_STACK is enabled.
CVE-2023-52929 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 3.3 Low
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmem: core: fix cleanup after dev_set_name() If dev_set_name() fails, we leak nvmem->wp_gpio as the cleanup does not put this. While a minimal fix for this would be to add the gpiod_put() call, we can do better if we split device_register(), and use the tested nvmem_release() cleanup code by initialising the device early, and putting the device. This results in a slightly larger fix, but results in clear code. Note: this patch depends on "nvmem: core: initialise nvmem->id early" and "nvmem: core: remove nvmem_config wp_gpio". [Srini: Fixed subject line and error code handing with wp_gpio while applying.]
CVE-2022-49650 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: qcom: bam_dma: fix runtime PM underflow Commit dbad41e7bb5f ("dmaengine: qcom: bam_dma: check if the runtime pm enabled") caused unbalanced pm_runtime_get/put() calls when the bam is controlled remotely. This commit reverts it and just enables pm_runtime in all cases, the clk_* functions already just nop when the clock is NULL. Also clean up a bit by removing unnecessary bamclk null checks.
CVE-2022-49077 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmmremap.c: avoid pointless invalidate_range_start/end on mremap(old_size=0) If an mremap() syscall with old_size=0 ends up in move_page_tables(), it will call invalidate_range_start()/invalidate_range_end() unnecessarily, i.e. with an empty range. This causes a WARN in KVM's mmu_notifier. In the past, empty ranges have been diagnosed to be off-by-one bugs, hence the WARNing. Given the low (so far) number of unique reports, the benefits of detecting more buggy callers seem to outweigh the cost of having to fix cases such as this one, where userspace is doing something silly. In this particular case, an early return from move_page_tables() is enough to fix the issue.

CVE-2024-58008 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KEYS: trusted: dcp: fix improper sg use with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y With vmalloc stack addresses enabled (CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y) DCP trusted keys can crash during en- and decryption of the blob encryption key via the DCP crypto driver. This is caused by improperly using sg_init_one() with vmalloc'd stack buffers (plain_key_blob). Fix this by always using kmalloc() for buffers we give to the DCP crypto driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: rzg2l_wdt: Fix 'BUG: Invalid wait context' This patch fixes the issue 'BUG: Invalid wait context' during restart() callback by using clk_prepare_enable() instead of pm_runtime_get_sync() for turning on the clocks during restart.

CVE-2024-27400 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: once more fix the call oder in amdgpu_ttm_move() v2 This reverts drm/amdgpu: fix ftrace event amdgpu_bo_move always move on same heap. The basic problem here is that after the move the old location is simply not available any more. Some fixes were suggested, but essentially we should call the move notification before actually moving things because only this way we have the correct order for DMA-buf and VM move notifications as well. Also rework the statistic handling so that we don't update the eviction counter before the move. v2: add missing NULL check
CVE-2024-58006 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: dwc: ep: Prevent changing BAR size/flags in pci_epc_set_bar() In commit 4284c88fff0e ("PCI: designware-ep: Allow pci_epc_set_bar() update inbound map address") set_bar() was modified to support dynamically changing the backing physical address of a BAR that was already configured. This means that set_bar() can be called twice, without ever calling clear_bar() (as calling clear_bar() would clear the BAR's PCI address assigned by the host). This can only be done if the new BAR size/flags does not differ from the existing BAR configuration. Add these missing checks. If we allow set_bar() to set e.g. a new BAR size that differs from the existing BAR size, the new address translation range will be smaller than the BAR size already determined by the host, which would mean that a read past the new BAR size would pass the iATU untranslated, which could allow the host to read memory not belonging to the new struct pci_epf_bar. While at it, add comments which clarifies the support for dynamically changing the physical address of a BAR. (Which was also missing.)
CVE-2024-40992 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 4.4 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Fix responder length checking for UD request packets According to the IBA specification: If a UD request packet is detected with an invalid length, the request shall be an invalid request and it shall be silently dropped by the responder. The responder then waits for a new request packet. commit 689c5421bfe0 ("RDMA/rxe: Fix incorrect responder length checking") defers responder length check for UD QPs in function `copy_data`. But it introduces a regression issue for UD QPs. When the packet size is too large to fit in the receive buffer. `copy_data` will return error code -EINVAL. Then `send_data_in` will return RESPST_ERR_MALFORMED_WQE. UD QP will transfer into ERROR state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/uv: Don't call folio_wait_writeback() without a folio reference folio_wait_writeback() requires that no spinlocks are held and that a folio reference is held, as documented. After we dropped the PTL, the folio could get freed concurrently. So grab a temporary reference.
CVE-2023-53029 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-pf: Fix the use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context on rt The commit 4af1b64f80fb ("octeontx2-pf: Fix lmtst ID used in aura free") uses the get/put_cpu() to protect the usage of percpu pointer in ->aura_freeptr() callback, but it also unnecessarily disable the preemption for the blockable memory allocation. The commit 87b93b678e95 ("octeontx2-pf: Avoid use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context") tried to fix these sleep inside atomic warnings. But it only fix the one for the non-rt kernel. For the rt kernel, we still get the similar warnings like below.

But there are only two ->aura_freeptr() callbacks, otx2_aura_freeptr() and cn10k_aura_freeptr(). There is no usage of perpcu variable in the otx2_aura_freeptr() at all, so the get/put_cpu() seems redundant to it. We can move the get/put_cpu() into the corresponding callback which really has the percpu variable usage and avoid the sprinkling of get/put_cpu() in several places.
CVE-2022-49617 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 4.4 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: Intel: sof_sdw: handle errors on card registration If the card registration fails, typically because of deferred probes, the device properties added for headset codecs are not removed, which leads to kernel oopses in driver bind/unbind tests. We already clean-up the device properties when the card is removed, this code can be moved as a helper and called upon card registration errors.
CVE-2024-58079 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: uvcvideo: Fix crash during unbind if gpio unit is in use We used the wrong device for the device managed functions. We used the usb device, when we should be using the interface device. If we unbind the driver from the usb interface, the cleanup functions are never called. In our case, the IRQ is never disabled. If an IRQ is triggered, it will try to access memory sections that are already free, causing an OOPS. We cannot use the function devm_request_threaded_irq here. The devm_* clean functions may be called after the main structure is released by uvc_delete. Luckily this bug has small impact, as it is only affected by devices with gpio units and the user has to unbind the device, a disconnect will not trigger this error.
CVE-2022-49098 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix potential crash on module unload The vmbus driver relies on the panic notifier infrastructure to perform some operations when a panic event is detected. Since vmbus can be built as module, it is required that the driver handles both registering and unregistering such panic notifier callback. After commit 74347a99e73a ("x86/Hyper-V: Unload vmbus channel in hv panic callback") though, the panic notifier registration is done unconditionally in the module initialization routine whereas the unregistering procedure is conditionally guarded and executes only if HV_FEATURE_GUEST_CRASH_MSR_AVAILABLE capability is set. This patch fixes that by unconditionally unregistering the panic notifier in the module's exit routine as well.
CVE-2024-45007 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium

This illegal situation is averted by adding a module-global workqueue for exclusive use of the offending work item. Other work items continue to be queued on per-device workqueues to ensure performance.

CVE-2024-40949 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: shmem: fix getting incorrect lruvec when replacing a shmem folio When testing shmem swapin, I encountered the warning below on my machine. The reason is that replacing an old shmem folio with a new one causes mem_cgroup_migrate() to clear the old folio's memcg data. As a result, the old folio cannot get the correct memcg's lruvec needed to remove itself from the LRU list when it is being freed. This could lead to possible serious problems, such as LRU list crashes due to holding the wrong LRU lock, and incorrect LRU statistics. To fix this issue, we can fallback to use the mem_cgroup_replace_folio() to replace the old shmem folio.

CVE-2022-49052 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-07-12 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: fix unexpected zeroed page mapping with zram swap Two processes under CLONE_VM cloning, user process can be corrupted by seeing zeroed page unexpectedly. CPU A CPU B do_swap_page do_swap_page SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path swap_readpage valid data swap_slot_free_notify delete zram entry swap_readpage zeroed(invalid) data pte_lock map the *zero data* to userspace pte_unlock pte_lock if (!pte_same) goto out_nomap; pte_unlock return and next refault will read zeroed data The swap_slot_free_notify is bogus for CLONE_VM case since it doesn't increase the refcount of swap slot at copy_mm so it couldn't catch up whether it's safe or not to discard data from backing device. In the case, only the lock it could rely on to synchronize swap slot freeing is page table lock. Thus, this patch gets rid of the swap_slot_free_notify function. With this patch, CPU A will see correct data. CPU A CPU B do_swap_page do_swap_page SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path swap_readpage original data pte_lock map the original data swap_free swap_range_free bd_disk->fops->swap_slot_free_notify swap_readpage read zeroed data pte_unlock pte_lock if (!pte_same) goto out_nomap; pte_unlock return on next refault will see mapped data by CPU B The concern of the patch would increase memory consumption since it could keep wasted memory with compressed form in zram as well as uncompressed form in address space. However, most of cases of zram uses no readahead and do_swap_page is followed by swap_free so it will free the compressed form from in zram quickly.
