Subject: CVE-2025-40253: s390/ctcm: Fix double-kfree
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ctcm: Fix double-kfree
The function 'mpc_rcvd_sweep_req(mpcginfo)' is called conditionally
from function 'ctcmpc_unpack_skb'. It frees passed mpcginfo.
After that a call to function 'kfree' in function 'ctcmpc_unpack_skb'
frees it again.
Remove 'kfree' call in function 'mpc_rcvd_sweep_req(mpcginfo)'.
Bug detected by the clang static analyzer.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-40253 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
