[$] The first half of the 6.16 merge window

Linux Weekly News - Thu, 05/29/2025 - 17:27

As of this writing, 5,546 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the mainline kernel repository for the 6.16 release. This is a bit less than half of the total commits for 6.15, so the merge window is well on its way. Read on for our summary of the first half of the 6.16 merge window.

[$] Block-layer bounce buffering bounces out of the kernel

Linux Weekly News - Thu, 05/29/2025 - 15:23
As the end of the 1990s approached, a lot of kernel-development effort was going into improving support for 32-bit systems with shockingly large amounts of memory installed. This being the 1990s, having more than 1GB of memory in such a system was deemed to be shocking. Many of the compromises made to support such inconceivably large systems have remained in the kernel to this day. One of those compromises — bounce buffering of I/O requests in the block layer — has finally been eased out for the 6.16 release, more than a quarter-century after its introduction.

Local vulnerabilities in Kea DHCP

Linux Weekly News - Thu, 05/29/2025 - 14:07

The SUSE Security Team has published a detailed report about security vulnerabilities it discovered in the Kea DHCP server suite from the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC).

Since SUSE is also going to ship Kea DHCP in its products, we performed a routine review of its code base. Even before checking the network security of Kea, we stumbled over a range of local security issues, among them a local root exploit which is possible in many default installations of Kea on Linux and BSD distributions. [...]

This report is based on Kea release 2.6.1. Any source code references in this report relate to this version. Many systems still ship older releases of Kea, but we believe they are all affected as well by the issues described in this report.

The report details seven security issues including local-privilege-escalation and arbitrary file overwrite vulnerabilities. Security fixes for the vulnerabilities have been published in all of the currently supported release series of Kea: 2.4.2, 2.6.3, and the 2.7.9 development release were all released on May 28. Kea has assigned CVE-2025-32801, CVE-2025-32802, and CVE-2025-32803 to the vulnerabilities. Note that some of the CVEs cover multiple security flaws.
