ELSA-2025-13960: kernel security update (IMPORTANT)

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. Fix both possible errors by initializing default_config only when the driver initialization succeeded.

ELSA-2025-14009: kernel security update (IMPORTANT)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix use-after-free in vhci_flush() syzbot reported use-after-free in vhci_flush() without repro. [0] From the splat, a thread close()d a vhci file descriptor while its device was being used by iotcl() on another thread. Once the last fd refcnt is released, vhci_release() calls hci_unregister_dev(), hci_free_dev(), and kfree() for struct vhci_data, which is set to hci_dev->dev->driver_data. The problem is that there is no synchronisation after unlinking hdev from hci_dev_list in hci_unregister_dev(). There might be another thread still accessing the hdev which was fetched before the unlink operation. We can use SRCU for such synchronisation. Let's run hci_dev_reset() under SRCU and wait for its completion in hci_unregister_dev(). Another option would be to restore hci_dev->destruct(), which was removed in commit 587ae086f6e4 ("Bluetooth: Remove unused hci-destruct cb"). However, this would not ...

Security update for the Linux Kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c/designware: Fix an initialization issue The i2c_dw_xfer_init() function requires msgs and msg_write_idx from the dev context to be initialized. amd_i2c_dw_xfer_quirk() inits msgs and msgs_num, but not msg_write_idx. This could allow an out of bounds access (of msgs). Initialize msg_write_idx before calling i2c_dw_xfer_init().
