CVE-2025-38215 — fbdev: Fix do_register_framebuffer to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_var

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:

fbdev: Fix do_register_framebuffer to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_var

If fb_add_videomode() in do_register_framebuffer() fails to allocate memory for fb_videomode, it will later lead to a null-ptr dereference in fb_videomode_to_var(), as the fb_info is registered while not having the mode in modelist that is expected to be there, i.e. the one that is described in fb_info->var.

USN-7856-1 — linux-hwe-6.14 vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-hwe-6.14

Oleksii Oleksenko, Cedric Fournet, Jana Hofmann, Boris Köpf, Stavros Volos, and Flavien Solt discovered that some AMD processors may allow an attacker to infer data from previous stores, potentially resulting in the leakage of privileged information. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-36350, CVE-2024-36357)

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; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - ACPI drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - ATA over ethernet (AOE) driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bus devices; - DMA engine subsystem; - Arm Firmware Framework for ARMv8-A(FFA); - Cirrus firmware drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device (Miscellaneous) drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - TI TPS6594 PFSM driver; - MMC subsystem; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - NVME drivers; - x86 platform drivers; - RapidIO drivers; - Voltage and Current Regulator drivers; - Remote Processor subsystem; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - TCM subsystem; - Trusted Execution Environment drivers; - TTY drivers;…
