CVE-2025-22009 — regulator: dummy: force synchronous probing

Affected: Linux

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

regulator: dummy: force synchronous probing

Sometimes I get a NULL pointer dereference at boot time in kobject_get() with the following call stack:

anatop_regulator_probe() devm_regulator_register() regulator_register() regulator_resolve_supply() kobject_get()

By placing some extra BUG_ON() statements I could verify that this is raised because probing of the 'dummy' regulator driver is not completed ('dummy_regulator_rdev' is still NULL).

In the JTAG debugger I can see that dummy_regulator_probe() and anatop_regulator_probe() can be run by different kernel threads (kworker/u4:*). I haven't further investigated whether this can be changed or if there are other possibilities to force synchronization between these two probe routines. On the other hand I don't expect much boot time penalty by probing the 'dummy' regulator synchronously.

Affected: Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-gcp-6.11, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-hwe-6.11

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: - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ACPI drivers; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bus devices; - AMD CDX bus driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - DPLL subsystem; - Qualcomm firmware drivers; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - MemoryStick subsystem; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - NTB driver; - NVME drivers; - PCI subsystem; - Pin controllers subsystem; - RapidIO drivers; - Voltage and Current Regulator drivers; - Remote Processor subsystem; - SCSI subsystem; - SLIMbus drivers; - QCOM SoC drivers; - VideoCore services drivers; - Thermal drivers; - USB DSL drivers; - USB Host Controller drivers; - Renesas USBHS Controller drivers; - USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface driver; - Virtio Host (VHOST) subsystem; - Fr…
