CVE-2025-38451 — md/md-bitmap: fix GPF in bitmap_get_stats()

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:

md/md-bitmap: fix GPF in bitmap_get_stats()

The commit message of commit 6ec1f0239485 ("md/md-bitmap: fix stats collection for external bitmaps") states:

Remove the external bitmap check as the statistics should be available regardless of bitmap storage location.

Return -EINVAL only for invalid bitmap with no storage (neither in superblock nor in external file).

But, the code does not adhere to the above, as it does only check for a valid super-block for "internal" bitmaps. Hence, we observe:

Oops: GPF, probably for non-canonical address 0x1cd66f1f40000028 RIP: 0010:bitmap_get_stats+0x45/0xd0 Call Trace:

seq_read_iter+0x2b9/0x46a seq_read+0x12f/0x180 proc_reg_read+0x57/0xb0 vfs_read+0xf6/0x380 ksys_read+0x6d/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x8c/0x1b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

We fix this by checking the existence of a super-block for both the internal and external case.

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

It was discovered that improper initialization of CPU cache memory could allow a local attacker with hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest memory resulting in loss of data integrity. (CVE-2024-36331)

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; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Network block device driver; - Character device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Device frequency scaling framework; - DMA engine subsystem; - EDAC drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - IIO subsystem; - IIO ADC drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - PCI subsystem; - PHY drivers; - Pin controllers subsystem; - x86 platform drivers; - Power supply drivers; - Powercap sysfs driver; - Voltage and Current Regulator drivers; - S/390 drivers; - ASPEED SoC drivers; - SPI subsystem; - small TFT LCD display modules; - Media staging drivers; - USB Gadget drivers; - vDPA drivers; - VFIO drivers; - Framebuffer layer; - Xen hypervisor drivers; - BTRFS file system; - Ceph distributed file sy…
