Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2025-39806
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: multitouch: fix slab out-of-bounds access in mt_report_fixup()
A malicious HID device can trigger a slab out-of-bounds during
mt_report_fixup() by passing in report descriptor smaller than
607 bytes. mt_report_fixup() attempts to patch byte offset 607
of the descriptor with 0x25 by first checking if byte offset
607 is 0x15 however it lacks bounds checks to verify if the
descriptor is big enough before conducting this check. Fix
this bug by ensuring the descriptor size is at least 608
bytes before accessing it.
Below is the KASAN splat after the out of bounds access happens:

CWE: CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read
CVSS Source: NVD
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2025-39840
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix out-of-bounds read in audit_compare_dname_path()
When a watch on dir=/ is combined with an fsnotify event for a
single-character name directly under / (e.g., creating /a), an
out-of-bounds read can occur in audit_compare_dname_path().
The helper parent_len() returns 1 for "/". In audit_compare_dname_path(),
when parentlen equals the full path length (1), the code sets p = path + 1
and pathlen = 1 - 1 = 0. The subsequent loop then dereferences
p[pathlen - 1] (i.e., p[-1]), causing an out-of-bounds read.
Fix this by adding a pathlen 0 check to the while loop condition
to prevent the out-of-bounds access.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: 0x31c00000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---
The root cause is that unpoison_memory() tries to check the PG_HWPoison
flags of an uninitialized page. So VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) is
triggered. This can be reproduced by below steps:
1.Offline memory block:
echo offline /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state
2.Get offlined memory pfn:
page-types -b n -rlN
3.Write pfn to unpoison-pfn
echo pfn /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn
This scenario can be identified by pfn_to_online_page() returning NULL.
And ZONE_DEVICE pages are never expected, so we can simply fail if
pfn_to_online_page() == NULL to fix the bug.

CVEID: CVE-2025-40240
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: avoid NULL dereference when chunk data buffer is missing
chunk-skb pointer is dereferenced in the if-block where it's supposed
to be NULL only.
chunk-skb can only be NULL if chunk-head_skb is not. Check for frag_list
instead and do it just before replacing chunk-skb. We're sure that
otherwise chunk-skb is non-NULL because of outer if() condition.

CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
