CVE-2025-21861 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate_device: don't add folio to be freed to LRU in migrate_device_finalize()
If migration succeeded, we called
folio_migrate_flags()->mem_cgroup_migrate() to migrate the memcg from the
old to the new folio. This will set memcg_data of the old folio to 0.
Similarly, if migration failed, memcg_data of the dst folio is left unset.
If we call folio_putback_lru() on such folios (memcg_data == 0), we will
add the folio to be freed to the LRU, making memcg code unhappy. Running
the hmm selftests:
# ./hmm-tests
...
# RUN hmm.hmm_device_private.migrate ...

CVE-2025-21860 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/zswap: fix inconsistency when zswap_store_page() fails
Commit b7c0ccdfbafd ("mm: zswap: support large folios in zswap_store()")
skips charging any zswap entries when it failed to zswap the entire folio.
However, when some base pages are zswapped but it failed to zswap the
entire folio, the zswap operation is rolled back. When freeing zswap
entries for those pages, zswap_entry_free() uncharges the zswap entries
that were not previously charged, causing zswap charging to become
inconsistent.
This inconsistency triggers two warnings with following steps:
# On a machine with 64GiB of RAM and 36GiB of zswap
$ stress-ng --bigheap 2 # wait until the OOM-killer kills stress-ng
$ sudo reboot
The two warnings are:
in mm/memcontrol.c:163, function obj_cgroup_release():
WARN_ON_ONCE(nr_bytes & (PAGE_SIZE - 1));
in mm/page_counter.c:60, function page_counter_cancel():
if (WARN_ONCE(new < 0, "page_counter underflow: %ld nr_pages=%lu\n",
new, nr_pages))
zswap_stored_pages also becomes inconsistent in the same way.
As suggested by Kanchana, increment zswap_stored_pages and charge zswap
entries within zswap_store_page() when it succeeds. This way,
zswap_entry_free() will decrement the counter and uncharge the entries
when it failed to zswap the entire folio.
While this could potentially be optimized by batching objcg charging and
incrementing the counter, let's focus on fixing t...

CVE-2025-21859 |
Description: 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.

CVE-2025-21858 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: Fix use-after-free in geneve_find_dev().
syzkaller reported a use-after-free in geneve_find_dev() [0]
without repro.
geneve_configure() links struct geneve_dev.next to
net_generic(net, geneve_net_id)->geneve_list.
The net here could differ from dev_net(dev) if IFLA_NET_NS_PID,
IFLA_NET_NS_FD, or IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID is set.
When dev_net(dev) is dismantled, geneve_exit_batch_rtnl() finally
calls unregister_netdevice_queue() for each dev in the netns,
and later the dev is freed.
However, its geneve_dev.next is still linked to the backend UDP
socket netns.
Then, use-after-free will occur when another geneve dev is created
in the netns.
Let's call geneve_dellink() instead in geneve_destroy_tunnels().

CVE-2025-21857 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_api: fix error handling causing NULL dereference
tcf_exts_miss_cookie_base_alloc() calls xa_alloc_cyclic() which can
return 1 if the allocation succeeded after wrapping. This was treated as
an error, with value 1 returned to caller tcf_exts_init_ex() which sets
exts->actions to NULL and returns 1 to caller fl_change().
fl_change() treats err == 1 as success, calling tcf_exts_validate_ex()
which calls tcf_action_init() with exts->actions as argument, where it
is dereferenced.
Example trace:

CVE-2025-21856 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ism: add release function for struct device
According to device_release() in /drivers/base/core.c,
a device without a release function is a broken device
and must be fixed.
The current code directly frees the device after calling device_add()
without waiting for other kernel parts to release their references.
Thus, a reference could still be held to a struct device,
e.g., by sysfs, leading to potential use-after-free
issues if a proper release function is not set.

CVE-2025-21855 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmvnic: Don't reference skb after sending to VIOS
Previously, after successfully flushing the xmit buffer to VIOS,
the tx_bytes stat was incremented by the length of the skb.
It is invalid to access the skb memory after sending the buffer to
the VIOS because, at any point after sending, the VIOS can trigger
an interrupt to free this memory. A race between reading skb->len
and freeing the skb is possible (especially during LPM) and will
result in use-after-free:

CVE-2025-21854 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sockmap, vsock: For connectible sockets allow only connected
sockmap expects all vsocks to have a transport assigned, which is expressed
in vsock_proto::psock_update_sk_prot(). However, there is an edge case
where an unconnected (connectible) socket may lose its previously assigned
transport. This is handled with a NULL check in the vsock/BPF recv path.
Another design detail is that listening vsocks are not supposed to have any
transport assigned at all. Which implies they are not supported by the
sockmap. But this is complicated by the fact that a socket, before
switching to TCP_LISTEN, may have had some transport assigned during a
failed connect() attempt. Hence, we may end up with a listening vsock in a
sockmap, which blows up quickly:

CVE-2025-21853 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: avoid holding freeze_mutex during mmap operation
We use map->freeze_mutex to prevent races between map_freeze() and
memory mapping BPF map contents with writable permissions. The way we
naively do this means we'll hold freeze_mutex for entire duration of all
the mm and VMA manipulations, which is completely unnecessary. This can
potentially also lead to deadlocks, as reported by syzbot in [0].
So, instead, hold freeze_mutex only during writeability checks, bump
(proactively) "write active" count for the map, unlock the mutex and
proceed with mmap logic. And only if something went wrong during mmap
logic, then undo that "write active" counter increment.

CVE-2025-21852 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Add rx_skb of kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[].
Yan Zhai reported a BPF prog could trigger a null-ptr-deref [0]
in trace_kfree_skb if the prog does not check if rx_sk is NULL.
Commit c53795d48ee8 ("net: add rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb") added
rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb, but rx_sk is optional and could be NULL.
Let's add kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[] to let the BPF verifier
validate such a prog and prevent the issue.
Now we fail to load such a prog:
libbpf: prog 'drop': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --
