CVE-2025-37995 (GCVE-0-2025-37995)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-05-29 13:15 – Updated: 2025-11-03 19:58
VLAI?
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: module: ensure that kobject_put() is safe for module type kobjects In 'lookup_or_create_module_kobject()', an internal kobject is created using 'module_ktype'. So call to 'kobject_put()' on error handling path causes an attempt to use an uninitialized completion pointer in 'module_kobject_release()'. In this scenario, we just want to release kobject without an extra synchronization required for a regular module unloading process, so adding an extra check whether 'complete()' is actually required makes 'kobject_put()' safe.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.

En \u0027lookup_or_create_module_kobject()\u0027, se crea un kobject interno mediante \u0027module_ktype\u0027. Por lo tanto, la llamada a \u0027kobject_put()\u0027 en la ruta de gesti\u00f3n de errores provoca un intento de usar un puntero de finalizaci\u00f3n no inicializado en \u0027module_kobject_release()\u0027. En este escenario, solo queremos liberar kobject sin una sincronizaci\u00f3n adicional requerida para un proceso de descarga de m\u00f3dulo normal, por lo que a\u00f1adir una comprobaci\u00f3n adicional si \u0027complete()\u0027 es realmente necesario hace que \u0027kobject_put()\u0027 sea seguro.\"}],\"metrics\":{},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/31d8df3f303c3ae9115230820977ef8c35c88808\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/93799fb988757cdacf19acba57807746c00378e6\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9e7b49ce4f9d0cb5b6e87db9e07a2fb9e754b0dd\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a63d99873547d8b39eb2f6db79dd235761e7098a\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a6aeb739974ec73e5217c75a7c008a688d3d5cf1\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d63851049f412cdfadaeef7a7eaef5031d11c1e9\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f1c71b4bd721a4ea21da408806964b10468623f2\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/faa9059631d3491d699c69ecf512de9e1a3d6649\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/08/msg00010.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/10/msg00007.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}"
