The vulnerability exists due to resource management error within the vmw_debugfs_resource_managers_init() function in drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_drv.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27014)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the mlx5e_arfs_enable(), arfs_del_rules(), arfs_handle_work() and mlx5e_rx_flow_steer() functions in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_arfs.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


12) Improper error handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35809)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling within the pci_device_remove() function in drivers/pci/pci-driver.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


13) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35835)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a double free error within the arfs_create_groups() function in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_arfs.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


14) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35854)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the mlxsw_sp_acl_tcam_vregion_rehash() function in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_acl_tcam.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


15) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36901)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the ip6_output() function in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

18) Improper neutralization of directives in statically saved code (\'static code injection\') (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42084)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftruncate: pass a signed offset The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB. Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL. The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer from this mistake.


19) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42265)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the __releases() function in fs/file.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


20) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43892)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX(), mem_cgroup_alloc() and mem_cgroup_css_online() functions in mm/memcontrol.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


21) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21785)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the populate_cache_leaves() function in arch/arm64/kernel/cacheinfo.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


22) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24201)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted web page, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


23) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24928)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the xmlSnprintfElements() function in valid.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML data to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
