CVE-2025-21999 — proc: fix UAF in proc_get_inode()

Affected: Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

proc: fix UAF in proc_get_inode()

Fix race between rmmod and /proc/XXX's inode instantiation.

The bug is that pde->proc_ops don't belong to /proc, it belongs to a module, therefore dereferencing it after /proc entry has been registered is a bug unless use_pde/unuse_pde() pair has been used.

use_pde/unuse_pde can be avoided (2 atomic ops!) because pde->proc_ops never changes so information necessary for inode instantiation can be saved _before_ proc_register() in PDE itself and used later, avoiding pde->proc_ops->... dereference.

rmmod lookup sys_delete_module proc_lookup_de pde_get(de); proc_get_inode(dir->i_sb, de); mod->exit() proc_remove remove_proc_subtree proc_entry_rundown(de); free_module(mod);

if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) if (de->proc_ops->proc_read_iter) --> As module is already freed, will trigger UAF

Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that the Bluetooth driver in the Linux Kernel contained an improper access control vulnerability. A nearby attacker could use this to connect a rougue device and possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-8805)

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify the target namespace when handling upcalls. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-2312)

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: - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; - ACPI drivers; - Clock framework and drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Media drivers; - MemoryStick subsystem; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - NTB driver; - PCI subsystem; - Voltage and Current Regulator drivers; - Remote Processor subsystem; - SCSI subsystem; - QCOM SoC drivers; - Thermal drivers; - BTRFS file system; - Ext4 file system; - JFS file system; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NTFS3 file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Proc file system; - SMB network file system; - IPv6 networking; - RDMA verbs API; - SoC audio core drivers; - Tracing infrastructure; - Watch queue notification mechanism; - 802.1Q VLAN protocol; - Asynchronous Transfer Mo…
