CVE-2025-71125 — tracing: Do not register unsupported perf events

Affected: Linux

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

tracing: Do not register unsupported perf events

Synthetic events currently do not have a function to register perf events. This leads to calling the tracepoint register functions with a NULL function pointer which triggers:

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)

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; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - ACPI drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - Network block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Counter interface drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Intel Stratix 10 firmware drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Tablet) drivers; - ISDN/mISDN subsystem; - Macintosh device drivers; - Media drivers; - MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) drivers; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - Texas Instruments network drivers; - Ethernet team driver; - MediaTek network drivers; - NVME drivers; - PA-RISC drivers; - PCI subsyste…
