CVE-2025-71126 — mptcp: avoid deadlock on fallback while reinjecting

Affected: Linux

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

mptcp: avoid deadlock on fallback while reinjecting

Jakub reported an MPTCP deadlock at fallback time:

WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 6.18.0-rc7-virtme #1 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- mptcp_connect/20858 is trying to acquire lock: ff1100001da18b60 (&msk->fallback_lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at: __mptcp_try_fallback+0xd8/0x280

but task is already holding lock: ff1100001da18b60 (&msk->fallback_lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at: __mptcp_retrans+0x352/0xaa0

other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0 ---- lock(&msk->fallback_lock); lock(&msk->fallback_lock);

*** DEADLOCK ***

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

USN-8177-1 — linux, linux-realtime vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:25.10: linux, Ubuntu:25.10: linux-realtime

Josh Eads, Kristoffer Janke, Eduardo Vela Nava, Tavis Ormandy, and Matteo Rizzo discovered that some AMD Zen processors did not properly verify the signature of CPU microcode. This flaw is known as EntrySign. A privileged attacker could possibly use this issue to cause load malicious CPU microcode causing loss of integrity and confidentiality. (CVE-2024-36347)

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: - MIPS architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - ACPI drivers; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - GPU drivers; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - Intel Trace Hub HW tracing drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Mouse) drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - Ethernet team driver; - PA-RISC drivers; - Chrome hardware platform drivers; - x86 platform drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - TCM subsystem; - Freescale USB OTG Transceiver Driver; - USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface driver; - Watchdog drivers; - BTRFS file sy…
