USN-7331-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Published Mar 5, 2025
·
Updated

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-0927)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - ACPI drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - I2C subsystem; - IIO ADC drivers; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - Parport drivers; - Pin controllers subsystem; - Direct Digital Synthesis drivers; - TCM subsystem; - TTY drivers; - USB Dual Role (OTG-ready) Controller drivers; - USB Serial drivers; - USB Type-C support driver; - USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface driver; - BTRFS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Network file system (NFS) client; - NILFS2 file system; - NTFS3 file system; - SMB network file system; - User-space API (UAPI); - iouring subsystem; - BPF subsystem; - Timer substystem drivers; - Tracing infrastructure; - Closures library; - Memory management; - Amateur Radio drivers; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Multipath TCP; - Netfilter; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - XFRM subsystem; - Key management; - FireWire sound drivers; - HD-audio driver; - QCOM ASoC drivers; - STMicroelectronics SoC drivers; - KVM core; (CVE-2024-50163, CVE-2024-53104, CVE-2024-50287, CVE-2024-41066, CVE-2024-53066, CVE-2024-53097, CVE-2024-50229, CVE-2024-50142, CVE-2024-50182, CVE-2024-50156, CVE-2024-50195, CVE-2024-50232, CVE-2024-53063, CVE-2024-50134, CVE-2024-50103, CVE-2024-50110, CVE-2024-50115, CVE-2024-50233, CVE-2024-50202, CVE-2024-50268, CVE-2024-50171, CVE-2024-50234, CVE-2024-50083, CVE-2024-53061, CVE-2024-50194, CVE-2024-40953, CVE-2024-50143, CVE-2024-50278, CVE-2024-50257, CVE-2024-56672, CVE-2024-50141, CVE-2024-50128, CVE-2024-50117, CVE-2024-50292, CVE-2024-50148, CVE-2024-53055, CVE-2024-35887, CVE-2024-50236, CVE-2024-50249, CVE-2024-50282, CVE-2024-50218, CVE-2023-52913, CVE-2024-50262, CVE-2024-50269, CVE-2024-50010, CVE-2024-50299, CVE-2024-39497, CVE-2024-50296, CVE-2024-53052, CVE-2024-53058, CVE-2024-50201, CVE-2024-42291, CVE-2024-50036, CVE-2024-50154, CVE-2024-50196, CVE-2024-50251, CVE-2024-41080, CVE-2024-50074, CVE-2024-50205, CVE-2024-50131, CVE-2024-42252, CVE-2024-50082, CVE-2024-50273, CVE-2024-50072, CVE-2024-50301, CVE-2024-53088, CVE-2024-50058, CVE-2024-50085, CVE-2024-50167, CVE-2024-50150, CVE-2024-50185, CVE-2024-50208, CVE-2024-50151, CVE-2024-50086, CVE-2024-50127, CVE-2024-50153, CVE-2024-53042, CVE-2024-50162, CVE-2024-50237, CVE-2024-50290, CVE-2024-40965, CVE-2024-50193, CVE-2024-50245, CVE-2024-53059, CVE-2024-53101, CVE-2024-50295, CVE-2024-50259, CVE-2024-50192, CVE-2024-50265, CVE-2024-50279, CVE-2024-50116, CVE-2024-26718, CVE-2024-50101, CVE-2024-50168, CVE-2024-50267, CVE-2024-50198, CVE-2024-50230, CVE-2024-50199, CVE-2024-50099, CVE-2024-50247, CVE-2024-50302, CVE-2024-50160, CVE-2024-50209, CVE-2024-50244)
