https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2025-38579
19 Aug 2025 — In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix KMSAN uninit-value in extent_info usage KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized value in `__is_extent_mergeable()` and `__is_back_mergeable()` via the read extent tree path. The root cause is that `get_read_extent_info()` only initializes three fields (`fofs`, `blk`, `len`) of `struct extent_info`, leaving the remaining fields uninitialized. This leads to undefined behavior when those fields are accessed later, especially during ext... • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94afd6d6e5253179c9b891d02081cc8355a11768 •

CVE-2025-38565 – perf/core: Exit early on perf_mmap() fail
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2025-38565
19 Aug 2025 — In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Exit early on perf_mmap() fail When perf_mmap() fails to allocate a buffer, it still invokes the event_mapped() callback of the related event. On X86 this might increase the perf_rdpmc_allowed reference counter. But nothing undoes this as perf_mmap_close() is never called in this case, which causes another reference count leak. Return early on failure to prevent that. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1e0fb9ec679c9273a641f1d6f3d25ea47baef2bb •

19 Aug 2025 — In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Prevent VMA split of buffer mappings The perf mmap code is careful about mmap()'ing the user page with the ringbuffer and additionally the auxiliary buffer, when the event supports it. Once the first mapping is established, subsequent mapping have to use the same offset and the same size in both cases. The reference counting for the ringbuffer and the auxiliary buffer depends on this being correct. Though perf does not prevent th... • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45bfb2e50471abbbfd83d40d28c986078b0d24ff •
