Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Use local fence in error path of xe_migrate_clear The intent of the error path in xe_migrate_clear is to wait on locally generated fence and then return. The code is waiting on m->fence which could be the local fence but this is only stable under the job mutex leading to a possible UAF. Fix code to wait on local fence. (cherry picked from commit 762b7e95362170b3e13a8704f38d5e47eca4ba74)

Technical Analysis

The advisory covers four kernel vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-37869 (a use-after-free in drm/xe during error handling), CVE-2025-40141 (a possible use-after-free in Bluetooth ISO connection freeing), CVE-2025-40176 (an issue in TLS code waiting for pending asynchronous decryptions), and CVE-2025-68285 (a potential use-after-free in the libceph component). These vulnerabilities affect the Linux kernel core in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support and related CodeReady Linux Builder variants. Red Hat has released updated kernel packages to address these issues, and applying these updates requires a system reboot.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities involve use-after-free conditions and improper handling of asynchronous operations in critical kernel subsystems, which could lead to system instability or potential escalation of privileges if exploited. The advisory rates the overall security impact as Important (high severity). No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released updated kernel packages that fix these vulnerabilities. Users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support and related CodeReady Linux Builder products should apply the kernel update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2026:0747. A system reboot is required to activate the updated kernel. Patch status is confirmed as available and official fixes have been issued by Red Hat.
