The advisory covers a set of ten vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. These include CVE-2024-57980 (double free in uvcvideo), CVE-2025-21905 (string length limitation in iwlwifi firmware), CVE-2025-22085 (use-after-free in RDMA core), CVE-2025-22091 (page_size overflow in RDMA/mlx5), CVE-2025-22113 and CVE-2025-22121 (out-of-bounds and journaling errors in ext4), CVE-2025-37797 (use-after-free in net_sched hfsc), CVE-2025-37958 (invalid pmd migration dereference), CVE-2025-38086 (uninitialized access in net ch9200), and CVE-2025-38110 (out-of-bounds clause 45 read/write in net mdiobus). Red Hat has released updated kernel packages that address these vulnerabilities. The update requires a system reboot to take effect.

The vulnerabilities collectively could lead to memory corruption issues such as double free, use-after-free, out-of-bounds memory access, and variable overflow within the kernel. These issues may affect system stability and security, potentially allowing privilege escalation or denial of service. However, the advisory rates the overall impact as moderate and does not report known exploits in the wild at this time.

Red Hat has released official kernel updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 that fix these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the updated kernel packages as provided in the advisory RHSA-2025:11861 and reboot their systems to ensure the fixes take effect. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official patches and rebooting.
