CVE-2025-40205 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: avoid potential out-of-bounds in btrfs_encode_fh() The function btrfs_encode_fh() does not properly account for the three cases it handles. Before writing to the file handle (fh), the function only returns to the user BTRFS_FID_SIZE_NON_CONNECTABLE (5 dwords, 20 bytes) or BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE (8 dwords, 32 bytes). However, when a parent exists and the root ID of the parent and the inode are different, the function writes BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE_ROOT (10 dwords, 40 bytes). If *max_len is not large enough, this write goes out of bounds because BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE_ROOT is greater than BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE originally returned. This results in an 8-byte out-of-bounds write at fid->parent_root_objectid = parent_root_id. A previous attempt to fix this issue was made but was lost. https://lore.kernel.org/all/4CADAEEC020000780001B32C@vpn.id2.novell.com/ Although this issue does not seem to be easily triggerable, it is a potential memory corruption bug that should be fixed. This patch resolves the issue by ensuring the function returns the appropriate size for all three cases and validates that *max_len is large enough before writing any data.
CVE-2022-50760 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix PCI device refcount leak in amdgpu_atrm_get_bios() As comment of pci_get_class() says, it returns a pci_device with its refcount increased and decreased the refcount for the input parameter @from if it is not NULL. If we break the loop in amdgpu_atrm_get_bios() with 'pdev' not NULL, we need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount. Add the missing pci_dev_put() to avoid refcount leak.
CVE-2022-50759 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: i2c: ov5648: Free V4L2 fwnode data on unbind The V4L2 fwnode data structure doesn't get freed on unbind, which leads to a memleak.
CVE-2025-40299 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gve: Implement gettimex64 with -EOPNOTSUPP gve implemented a ptp_clock for sole use of do_aux_work at this time. ptp_clock_gettime() and ptp_sys_offset() assume every ptp_clock has implemented either gettimex64 or gettime64. Stub gettimex64 and return -EOPNOTSUPP to prevent NULL dereferencing.
CVE-2025-40298 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gve: Implement settime64 with -EOPNOTSUPP ptp_clock_settime() assumes every ptp_clock has implemented settime64(). Stub it with -EOPNOTSUPP to prevent a NULL dereference.
CVE-2025-40293 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Don't overflow during division for dirty tracking If pgshift is 63 then BITS_PER_TYPE(*bitmap->bitmap) * pgsize will overflow to 0 and this triggers divide by 0. In this case the index should just be 0, so reorganize things to divide by shift and avoid hitting any overflows.
CVE-2025-40290 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xsk: avoid data corruption on cq descriptor number Since commit 30f241fcf52a ("xsk: Fix immature cq descriptor production"), the descriptor number is stored in skb control block and xsk_cq_submit_addr_locked() relies on it to put the umem addrs onto pool's completion queue. skb control block shouldn't be used for this purpose as after transmit xsk doesn't have control over it and other subsystems could use it. This leads to the following kernel panic due to a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2025-40288 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in VRAM logic for APU devices Previously, APU platforms (and other scenarios with uninitialized VRAM managers) triggered a NULL pointer dereference in `ttm_resource_manager_usage()`. The root cause is not that the `struct ttm_resource_manager *man` pointer itself is NULL, but that `man->bdev` (the backing device pointer within the manager) remains uninitialized (NULL) on APUs—since APUs lack dedicated VRAM and do not fully set up VRAM manager structures. When `ttm_resource_manager_usage()` attempts to acquire `man->bdev->lru_lock`, it dereferences the NULL `man->bdev`, leading to a kernel OOPS. 1. **amdgpu_cs.c**: Extend the existing bandwidth control check in `amdgpu_cs_get_threshold_for_moves()` to include a check for `ttm_resource_manager_used()`. If the manager is not used (uninitialized `bdev`), return 0 for migration thresholds immediately—skipping VRAM-specific logic that would trigger the NULL dereference. 2. **amdgpu_kms.c**: Update the `AMDGPU_INFO_VRAM_USAGE` ioctl and memory info reporting to use a conditional: if the manager is used, return the real VRAM usage; otherwise, return 0. This avoids accessing `man->bdev` when it is NULL. 3. **amdgpu_virt.c**: Modify the vf2pf (virtual function to physical function) data write path. Use `ttm_resource_manager_used()` to check validity: if the manager is usable, calculate `fb_usage` from VRAM usage; otherwise, set `fb_usage` to 0 (APUs have no discrete framebuffer to report). This approach is more robust than APU-specific checks because it: - Works for all scenarios where the VRAM manager is uninitialized (not just APUs), - Aligns with TTM's design by using its native helper function, - Preserves correct behavior for discrete GPUs (which have fully initialized `man->bdev` and pass the `ttm_resource_manager_used()` check). v4: use ttm_resource_manager_used(&adev->mman.vram_mgr.manager) instead of checking the adev->gmc.is_app_apu flag (Christian)
CVE-2023-54150 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd: Fix an out of bounds error in BIOS parser The array is hardcoded to 8 in atomfirmware.h, but firmware provides a bigger one sometimes. Deferencing the larger array causes an out of bounds error. commit 4fc1ba4aa589 ("drm/amd/display: fix array index out of bound error in bios parser") fixed some of this, but there are two other cases not covered by it. Fix those as well.

CVE-2022-50700 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath10k: Delay the unmapping of the buffer On WCN3990, we are seeing a rare scenario where copy engine hardware is sending a copy complete interrupt to the host driver while still processing the buffer that the driver has sent, this is leading into an SMMU fault triggering kernel panic. This is happening on copy engine channel 3 (CE3) where the driver normally enqueues WMI commands to the firmware. Upon receiving a copy complete interrupt, host driver will immediately unmap and frees the buffer presuming that hardware has processed the buffer. In the issue case, upon receiving copy complete interrupt, host driver will unmap and free the buffer but since hardware is still accessing the buffer (which in this case got unmapped in parallel), SMMU hardware will trigger an SMMU fault resulting in a kernel panic. In order to avoid this, as a work around, add a delay before unmapping the copy engine source DMA buffer. This is conditionally done for WCN3990 and only for the CE3 channel where issue is seen. Below is the crash signature: wifi smmu error: kernel: [ 10.120965] arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Unhandled context fault: fsr=0x402, iova=0x7fdfd8ac0, fsynr=0x500003,cbfrsynra=0xc1, cb=6 arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Unhandled context fault:fsr=0x402, iova=0x7fe06fdc0, fsynr=0x710003, cbfrsynra=0xc1, cb=6 qcom-q6v5-mss 4080000.remoteproc: fatal error received: err_qdi.c:1040:EF:wlan_process:0x1:WLAN RT:0x2091: cmnos_thread.c:3998:Asserted in copy_engine.c:AXI_ERROR_DETECTED:2149 remoteproc remoteproc0: crash detected in 4080000.remoteproc: type fatal error <3> remoteproc remoteproc0: handling crash #1 in 4080000.remoteproc pc : __arm_lpae_unmap+0x500/0x514 lr : __arm_lpae_unmap+0x4bc/0x514 sp : ffffffc011ffb530 x29: ffffffc011ffb590 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: 0000000000000004 x25: 0000000000000003 x24: ffffffc011ffb890 x23: ffffffa762ef9be0 x22: ffffffa77244ef00 x21: 0000000000000009 x20: 00000007fff7c000 x19: 0000000000000003 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000004 x16: ffffffd7a357d9f0 x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 00fd5d4fa7ffffff x13: 000000000000000e x12: 0000000000000000 x11: 00000000ffffffff x10: 00000000fffffe00 x9 : 000000000000017c x8 : 000000000000000c x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : ffffffa762ef9000 x5 : 0000000000000003 x4 : 0000000000000004 x3 : 0000000000001000 x2 : 00000007fff7c000 x1 : ffffffc011ffb890 x0 : 0000000000000000 Call trace: __arm_lpae_unmap+0x500/0x514 __arm_lpae_unmap+0x4bc/0x514 __arm_lpae_unmap+0x4bc/0x514 arm_lpae_unmap_pages+0x78/0xa4 arm_smmu_unmap_pages+0x78/0x104 __iommu_unmap+0xc8/0x1e4 iommu_unmap_fast+0x38/0x48 __iommu_dma_unmap+0x84/0x104 iommu_dma_free+0x34/0x50 dma_free_attrs+0xa4/0xd0 ath10k_htt_rx_free+0xc4/0xf4 [ath10k_core] ath10k_core_stop+0x64/0x7c [ath10k_core] ath10k_halt+0x11c/0x180 [ath10k_core] ath10k_stop+0x54/0x94 [ath10k_core] drv_stop+0x48/0x1c8 [mac80211] ieee80211_do_open+0x638/0x77c [mac80211] ieee80211_open+0x48/0x5c [mac80211] __dev_open+0xb4/0x174 __dev_change_flags+0xc4/0x1dc dev_change_flags+0x3c/0x7c devinet_ioctl+0x2b4/0x580 inet_ioctl+0xb0/0x1b4 sock_do_ioctl+0x4c/0x16c compat_ifreq_ioctl+0x1cc/0x35c compat_sock_ioctl+0x110/0x2ac __arm64_compat_sys_ioctl+0xf4/0x3e0 el0_svc_common+0xb4/0x17c el0_svc_compat_handler+0x2c/0x58 el0_svc_compat+0x8/0x2c Tested-on: WCN3990 hw1.0 SNOC WLAN.HL.2.0-01387-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: zynq-ipi: fix error handling while device_register() fails If device_register() fails, it has two issues: 1. The name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked. 2. The parent of device is not NULL, device_unregister() is called in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes(), it will lead a kernel crash because of removing not added device. Call put_device() to give up the reference, so the name is freed in kobject_cleanup(). Add device registered check in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes() to avoid null-ptr-deref.
CVE-2025-40287 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: exfat: fix improper check of dentry.stream.valid_size We found an infinite loop bug in the exFAT file system that can lead to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. When a dentry in an exFAT filesystem is malformed, the following system calls — SYS_openat, SYS_ftruncate, and SYS_pwrite64 — can cause the kernel to hang. Root cause analysis shows that the size validation code in exfat_find() does not check whether dentry.stream.valid_size is negative. As a result, the system calls mentioned above can succeed and eventually trigger the DoS issue. This patch adds a check for negative dentry.stream.valid_size to prevent this vulnerability.

And a null-ptr-deref may happen: cw_bat_probe() create_singlethread_workqueue() # failed, cw_bat->wq is NULL queue_delayed_work() queue_delayed_work_on() __queue_delayed_work() # warning here, but continue __queue_work() # access wq->flags, null-ptr-deref Check the ret value and return -ENOMEM if it is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: MGMT: cancel mesh send timer when hdev removed mesh_send_done timer is not canceled when hdev is removed, which causes crash if the timer triggers after hdev is gone. Cancel the timer when MGMT removes the hdev, like other MGMT timers. Should fix the BUG: sporadically seen by BlueZ test bot (in "Mesh - Send cancel - 1" test).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: 6lowpan: reset link-local header on ipv6 recv path Bluetooth 6lowpan.c netdev has header_ops, so it must set link-local header for RX skb, otherwise things crash, eg. with AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW Add missing skb_reset_mac_header() for uncompressed ipv6 RX path. For the compressed one, it is done in lowpan_header_decompress(). Log: (BlueZ 6lowpan-tester Client Recv Raw - Success) ------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:212! Call Trace: <IRQ> ... packet_rcv (net/packet/af_packet.c:2152) ... <TASK> __local_bh_enable_ip (kernel/softirq.c:407) netif_rx (net/core/dev.c:5648) chan_recv_cb (net/bluetooth/6lowpan.c:294 net/bluetooth/6lowpan.c:359) ------
CVE-2025-40201 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-04-15 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernel/sys.c: fix the racy usage of task_lock(tsk->group_leader) in sys_prlimit64() paths The usage of task_lock(tsk->group_leader) in sys_prlimit64()->do_prlimit() path is very broken. sys_prlimit64() does get_task_struct(tsk) but this only protects task_struct itself. If tsk != current and tsk is not a leader, this process can exit/exec and task_lock(tsk->group_leader) may use the already freed task_struct. Another problem is that sys_prlimit64() can race with mt-exec which changes ->group_leader. In this case do_prlimit() may take the wrong lock, or (worse) ->group_leader may change between task_lock() and task_unlock(). Change sys_prlimit64() to take tasklist_lock when necessary. This is not nice, but I don't see a better fix for -stable.
