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-2025-38392
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: idpf: convert control queue mutex to a spinlock.
- CVE-2025-38449
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gem: Acquire references on GEM handles for framebuffers.
- CVE-2023-53125
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: smsc75xx: Packet length retrieved from skb data may be larger than the actual socket buffer length (up to 9026 bytes). In such case the cloned skb passed up the network stack will leak kernel memory contents.
