CVE-2025-68336 — locking/spinlock/debug: Fix data-race in do_raw_write_lock

Affected: Linux

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

locking/spinlock/debug: Fix data-race in do_raw_write_lock

KCSAN reports:

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in do_raw_write_lock / do_raw_write_lock

write (marked) to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1102 on cpu 1: do_raw_write_lock+0x120/0x204 _raw_write_lock_irq do_exit call_usermodehelper_exec_async ret_from_fork

read to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1103 on cpu 0: do_raw_write_lock+0x88/0x204 _raw_write_lock_irq do_exit call_usermodehelper_exec_async ret_from_fork

value changed: 0xffffffff -> 0x00000001

Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 0 PID: 1103 Comm: kworker/u4:1 6.1.111

Commit 1a365e822372 ("locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data races") has adressed most of these races, but seems to be not consistent/not complete.

>From do_raw_write_lock() only debug_write_lock_after() part has been converted to WRITE_ONCE(), but not debug_write_lock_before() part. Do it now.

Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container. (LP: #2143853)

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 5 processors supporting RDSEED instruction did not properly handle entropy, potentially resulting in the consumption of insufficiently random values. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to influence the values returned by the RDSEED instruction causing loss of confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2025-62626)

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; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ATM drivers; - Network block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Device frequency scaling framework; - Intel Stratix 10 firmware drivers; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - Microsoft Hyper-V drivers; - CoreSight HW tracing drivers; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Tablet) d…
