Vulnerabilities description
- CVE-2025-38350
A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's net/sched subsystem, specifically in the Credit-Based Shaper (CBS) qdisc implementation (sch_cbs). The vulnerability occurs because the CBS qdisc's reset function (qdisc_reset_queue()) only resets its internal queue but fails to reset its child qdisc recursively. As a result, a mismatch in queue length (qlen) occurs between CBS and its children during interface resets, eventually allowing attackers to trigger UAF on a parent HFSC scheduler.
- CVE-2025-37803
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udmabuf: fix a buf size overflow issue during udmabuf creation.
- CVE-2025-22097
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vkms: Fix use after free and double free on init error. If the driver initialization fails, the vkms_exit() function might access an uninitialized or freed default_config pointer and it might double free it.
- CVE-2025-38449
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gem: Acquire references on GEM handles for framebuffers.
- CVE-2025-38684
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: ets: use old 'nbands' while purging unused classes.
