In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Skip Update HDCP Config In Transition State Transition state does not have a valid dm_stream_ctx that should skip configuring HDCP routine. The routine is valid to go through only when a valid stream is created.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: write-protect folios during data writeback commit 095be159f3eb ("btrfs: unify folio dirty flag clearing") replaced the folio_clear_dirty_for_io() call in extent_write_cache_pages() with a plain folio_test_dirty() check. Besides clearing the dirty flag, folio_clear_dirty_for_io() also calls folio_mkclean(), which write-protects the shared mmap PTEs mapping the folio. Note that we still do call folio_clear_dirty_for_io() later in submit_one_sector() when we clear dirty on the last sector of the folio (the only sector for non-subpage cases). But we lost this early call in extent_write_cache_pages(). Without the extra write-protection, a process with the file mmap-ed can modify a sector while it is being used by writeback in a way that expects a stable folio (checksumming, compressing, copying, etc...) without faulting, which manifests as a handful of concrete bugs. 1. For large folios or subpage sectorsize, it is possible to submit a bio which does not cover the whole folio. When this happens, we will have a bio in flight for a folio that we have *not* called folio_clear_dirty_for_io() on. If a task with an existing mmap-ed PTE writes (without faulting..) in this window, it can result in corruptions. If the write arrives while the checksumming or writing itself is underway, this can result in an invalid checksum and later corruption reports on read. If the write arrives after checksumming/writing is done but before the last sector dirty is cleared, then the write is present in page cache but doesn't affect the dirty tracking and will be lost when the folio is fully finished being submitted and the dirty bit is cleared. This results in losing the write even if fsync() is called. 2. For zoned submissions which are done in batch separate from the main extent_writepage() loop, we also risk csum violations for those submissions. Zoned writes are clamped to max_zone_append_size and are not aligned with folios, so a submission can span two folios. The first folio being processed in extent_write_cache_pages() will call extent_write_locked_range() which will submit the partial range of the next folio, while the rest of that folio could still be dirty. So clearing dirty on the submitted sectors doesn't call folio_clear_dirty_for_io() and we have the same issue. Since extent_write_cache_pages() skips these batch submitted folios (they are already marked for writeback from submission by the preceding folio), we must add the extra write protection in lock_delalloc_folios(). 3. For inline extents this will subtly risk losing writes that happen after/while we copy the inline extent but before we clear dirty on the folio. 4. For folios spanning EOF, mmap could tamper with the zeroed bytes past EOF and cause them to be persisted where future faults would improperly see them instead of zeros. 5. Finally, for compressed extents, we risk modifying the folios while we work on compressing them which will result in corrupted compressed data. Specifically, in run_delalloc_compressed() we queue up work to do compress_file_range() in BTRFS_COMPRESSION_CHUNK_SIZE (512K) chunks which will call btrfs_folio_clamp_clear_dirty() on the range. For non-subpage, this will always clear the whole folio, safely. For subpage, we risk a partial clear here as well. In particular, imagine a 2M folio broken up into 512K chunks of work which might start compression work on one chunk before all the chunks compress_file_range() workers have gotten far enough to finish clearing all the dirty bitmaps of the folio and getting to folio_clear_dirty_for_io(). Large folios on the edges of submission ranges are similarly at risk to be only partly cleared. This particular gap was introduced by a second patch in the same series: commit a4ef54dbb576 ("btrfs: make extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io() to handle sector size < page size cases") We cannot simply restore the call to folio_clear ---truncated---

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iomap: don't free integrity payload that doesn't exist fs_bio_integrity_alloc might not allocate a bio integrity payload if PI verification is disabled on the block device. Check for that case before calling fs_bio_integrity_free in iomap_bio_read_folio_range_sync to avoid a NULL pointer dereferences. Make the branch cover the PI verification as well - while fs_bio_integrity_verify works without an integrity payload, it requires one to actually do useful work.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs: fix user path of nested backing files backing_file_open() derives the path to be stored in the new backing file from user_file->f_path. This is incorrect when user_file itself is a backing file, which is the case for nested stacking filesystems, e.g. overlayfs mounts where the lowerdir of one overlayfs is the merged directory of another. Since commit def3ae83da02 ("fs: store real path instead of fake path in backing file f_path") the f_path of a backing file holds the real path of the intermediate layer, not the path that the user opened. Commit 924577e4f6ca ("ovl: Fix nested backing file paths") fixed this for such configurations by passing file_user_path() from ovl_open_realfile(). However, commit 6af36aeb147a ("lsm: add backing_file LSM hooks") changed the first argument of backing_file_open() from the user path back to the user file and derived the path from user_file->f_path again, silently re-introducing the problem. As a result, files mapped through a nested overlayfs show the wrong path in /proc/<pid>/maps and in perf/ftrace mmap records. For example, with two nested overlayfs mounts: mkdir -p /ovl/{lower,upper,work,merged} /ovl/nested echo hello > /ovl/lower/foo mount -t overlay overlay \ -o lowerdir=/ovl/lower,upperdir=/ovl/upper,workdir=/ovl/work \ /ovl/merged # at least two lowerdirs are needed when upperdir is nonexistent mount -t overlay overlay \ -o lowerdir=/ovl/merged:/ovl/lower /ovl/nested mapping /ovl/nested/foo shows a disconnected path instead of the user path: # readlink /proc/self/fd/3 /ovl/nested/foo # grep foo /proc/self/maps 7f6e2c100000-7f6e2c101000 r--s 00000000 00:24 15813027 /foo The bogus path is derived from the f_path of the intermediate backing file, whose mount is a private clone that d_path() cannot resolve. Fix this by using file_user_path(), which returns the outermost user-visible path for backing files and falls back to &user_file->f_path for regular files. This restores the behavior of commit 924577e4f6ca ("ovl: Fix nested backing file paths") for overlayfs and also fixes the same problem for the other backing_file_open() callers, fuse passthrough and erofs ishare, when their user file is itself a backing file. backing_tmpfile_open() has the same pattern but is not affected: it is only called by ovl_create_tmpfile() for the upper layer, and another overlayfs is rejected as upperdir by the DCACHE_OP_REAL check in ovl_mount_dir_check(), so its user_file can never be a backing file.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl The PIDFD_GET_*_NAMESPACE ioctls in pidfd_ioctl() perform a filesystem credentials ptrace access check before handing out a namespace file descriptor. The accompanying comment states that the code "mirrors nsfs behavior", but, unlike the corresponding procfs paths, it does so without holding the target task's exec_update_lock. proc_ns_get_link() and proc_ns_readlink() both take exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup, so that the credentials used for the access decision match those of the task when its namespace is read. Without it, a caller can pass the check against the target's old credentials and then read the namespace after the target has execve()'d a setuid binary and committed new credentials -- accessing namespace information it should have been denied. Hold exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup so that pidfd truly mirrors nsfs behavior, as the comment already claims. open_namespace() itself runs outside the lock: once a namespace reference is obtained it carries its own refcount and is opened with the caller's own credentials, so a concurrent execve() on the target can no longer affect the outcome.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace On native sparc64, struct __kernel_old_timeval contains a four-byte hole after tv_usec because tv_sec is 64-bit while __kernel_suseconds_t is 32-bit. put_itimerval() fills only the named fields in a stack-allocated __kernel_old_itimerval and copies the entire object to userspace, so getitimer() can expose the two padding holes. Zero-initialize the aggregate before assigning the fields so implicit padding is deterministic before it crosses the user/kernel boundary.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task stacks Patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task", v3. kmemleak_scan() scans every task stack under one rcu_read_lock() with no reschedule point, which can trip the soft lockup watchdog on hosts with very many threads. That prints the following message, depending on the workload+host configuration: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537] scan_block kmemleak_scan kmemleak_scan_thread kthread Patch 1 walks the tasks with find_ge_pid() so the scan reschedules between tasks Patches 2-3 let the scan loops stop early once a scan is interrupted. This patch (of 3): kmemleak_scan() walks every thread and scans its kernel stack under a single rcu_read_lock() with no reschedule point. On a host with very many threads -- amplified by KASAN/lockdep in debug builds -- this loop can hog a CPU long enough to trip the soft lockup watchdog: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537] scan_block kmemleak_scan kmemleak_scan_thread kthread A cond_resched() cannot be added directly: the loop runs inside an RCU read-side critical section. Walk the tasks one PID at a time with find_ge_pid(), taking the RCU read lock only to look up and pin each task. The stack is then scanned with no lock held, so cond_resched() runs between tasks and the scan stops early on scan_should_stop(). This follows the next_tgid()/task_seq_get_next() iteration pattern and keeps each RCU critical section short.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/mglru: fix and remove redundant unevictable folio handling sort_folio() has a shortcut for moving folios that are no longer evictable but are still sitting on a generation list. However, this shortcut is buggy. It does not follow the PG_lru usage convention, and it has a more serious issue. Unevictable folios are not threaded on lists[LRU_UNEVICTABLE], so that folio->lru can be reused to hold folio->mlock_count (see the comment in lruvec_init()). Hence lruvec_add_folio() skips the list_add() for them, and every other place that turns a folio unevictable initialises mlock_count explicitly: lru_add() sets it to 0, __mlock_folio() and __mlock_new_folio() set it to !!folio_test_mlocked(folio). sort_folio() sets nothing, and the lru_gen_del_folio() right above it may have already poisoned folio->lru via list_del(), so mlock_count ends up aliasing LIST_POISON2, which reads as 0x122, i.e. 290. The result is user visible. On munlock, __munlock_folio() decrements that bogus count, finds it still non-zero and bails out before clearing PG_mlocked, so the folio remains unevictable and the Mlocked accounting stays inflated until the folio is freed. The shortcut also touches the LRU flags in the wrong order. It calls lru_gen_del_folio() while PG_lru is still set, so a concurrent folio_test_clear_lru() (e.g. compaction, folio_isolate_lru()) can succeed on a folio that has already been taken off the generation list, which may lead to unexpected behavior. So fix it by isolating them as common folios and letting the generic shrink path cull them. This matches the classical LRU behavior, and there should be no visible effect on the generic eviction or isolation behavior. There is no performance concern either, such a folio goes through this once, and then it is off the generation lists for good.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() migrate_pages_batch() unmaps each folio before moving it, and every unmap runs the mmu_notifier invalidate callbacks. On KVM hosts try_to_migrate() ends up in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() -> tdp_mmu_zap_leafs(), which is expensive, so unmapping a large batch keeps the CPU busy for a long time. The loop already calls cond_resched(), but on PREEMPTION kernels that is a no-op, and involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent state. A long batch therefore never reports a quiescent state, and the migrating task (e.g. kcompactd) becomes a Tasks-RCU holdout, stalling the Tasks-RCU grace period for minutes, which is common at Meta fleet: INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks: 0000000055349ecc: .. nvcsw: 1157401/1157401 holdout: 1 idle_cpu: -1/56 task:kcompactd0 state:R running task Call Trace: tdp_mmu_zap_leafs tdp_mmu_next_root gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start try_to_migrate_one try_to_migrate migrate_pages_batch migrate_pages compact_zone compact_node kcompactd kthread Use cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() so a quiescent state is reported even when cond_resched() does nothing. This has also been discussed at [1]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/vmscan: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in shrink_lruvec() I am seeing some rcu_tasks stalls in the Meta fleet during reclaim. INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks: 0000000088620d09: .. nvcsw: 6735/6735 holdout: 1 idle_cpu: -1/8 task:GlobalCPUThread state:R running task pid:2552016 tgid:2524552 Call Trace: shrink_lruvec mem_cgroup_iter shrink_node do_try_to_free_pages try_to_free_pages __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof alloc_pages_noprof pte_alloc_one __pte_alloc handle_mm_fault Nothing promises direct reclaim returns in bounded time, and the scan loop in shrink_lruvec() only calls cond_resched(), which is a no-op on PREEMPTION kernels. Involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent state, so the reclaiming task never reports one and becomes a holdout. Upgrade it to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), which reports a quiescent state even when cond_resched() does nothing. PS: This has been discussed in [1]

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: memcg: stop reclaim when a limit update is superseded kernfs serializes file operations only per open file, so separate open files can update the same memory.high or memory.max file concurrently. Both handlers store the new limit before synchronous reclaim, but continue to use the writer's local target in the reclaim loop. If another writer raises or removes the limit, the first writer can continue reclaiming toward a stale target. For memory.max, this can leave the writer looping indefinitely once reclaim retries are exhausted. The OOM path sees sufficient margin under the current limit and returns true without killing, while the writer still compares usage against its stale target and records another OOM event. Check the current limit at the start of each reclaim iteration and stop if it no longer matches the writer's target. Reproducer: Populate a cgroup with anonymous memory and disable swapping. Lower memory.max from one open file, then restore it to "max" through another open file after the new limit becomes visible. Without the patch, the first writer remains blocked and repeatedly increments the OOM event counter. With the patch, it returns normally. This was not motivated by a reported production workload. We found it through automated randomized testing for our cgroup observability work and reduced it to the reproducer above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/tdx: Fix off-by-one in port I/O handling handle_in() and handle_out() in arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c use: u64 mask = GENMASK(BITS_PER_BYTE * size, 0); GENMASK(h, l) includes bit h. For size=1 (INB), this produces GENMASK(8, 0) = 0x1FF (9 bits) instead of GENMASK(7, 0) = 0xFF (8 bits). The mask is one bit too wide for all I/O sizes. Fix the mask calculation.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop() event_test_stuff() calls kthread_run() and unconditionally passes the returned task_struct pointer to kthread_stop(). kthread_run() returns an error pointer such as ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) when kthread creation fails, for example under memory pressure during the boot-time event self-test. kthread_stop() then dereferences the invalid pointer, crashing the kernel. Check the result of kthread_run() before passing it to kthread_stop(). Use WARN_ON() so that a failure to create the self-test thread does not go unnoticed, matching the ring-buffer self-test fix in commit 91542863abad ("ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: debugfs: Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare Commit 651fdda8406d ("relay: update relay to use mmap_prepare") changed the `mmap` file operation to `mmap_prepare` for relayfs, but the lockdown check in debugfs was not updated accordingly. This prevents debugfs from being locked down when the kernel is in integrity mode if a file uses `mmap_prepare` but not `mmap`. Since the conversion to `mmap_prepare` across the kernel is not yet complete, update the lockdown check to look for both `mmap` and `mmap_prepare` to ensure comprehensive coverage.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: imx: serialize imx_uart_ports[] lifetime imx_uart_probe() publishes its devm-allocated port in imx_uart_ports[] before uart_add_one_port() because console setup uses the table. The entry is not cleared when adding the port fails or after removal, leaving a dangling pointer. A sibling probe can register the shared console through that stale entry. This was reproduced under KASAN on QEMU mcimx6ul-evk by unbinding a sibling UART, unbinding the console UART and rebinding the sibling. Keep the entry valid through uart_remove_one_port(), then clear it. Protect port addition and removal together with their table updates so sibling operations cannot interleave. Reject an occupied slot rather than clobbering an active port during a duplicate-line probe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix use-after-free in dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints due to race condition In dwc3_gadget_init_endpoint, &dep->nostream_work is bound with dwc3_nostream_work, and dwc3_gadget_endpoint_stream_event can queue this delayed work on system_percpu_wq when a DEPEVT_STREAM_NOSTREAM event is received. If we remove the gadget, dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints makes cleanup and the memory allocated for dep with kzalloc() is released by kfree(dep), while the delayed work mentioned above may still be pending or running. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 | dwc3_thread_interrupt | dwc3_endpoint_interrupt | dwc3_gadget_endpoint_stream_event | queue_delayed_work(system_percpu_wq, | &dep->nostream_work) dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints | dwc3_free_trb_pool(dep) | list_del(&dep->endpoint.ep_list) | dwc3_debugfs_remove_endpoint_dir(dep) | kfree(dep) | // dep is freed | | dwc3_nostream_work | // use dep (use-after-free) Fix it by canceling the delayed work before kfree(dep) in dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: thunderbolt: Disable work before freeing tbt on remove tbt_altmode_remove() drops the plug and cable references without draining tbt->work. The work function dereferences those references, and can also requeue itself in its error path. The VDM callbacks can queue the same work item. Disable and drain tbt->work before dropping the references. This waits for an existing invocation and prevents subsequent schedule_work() calls from queueing it during teardown. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool and confirmed by manual code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: midi2: remove default configfs groups on teardown f_midi2_alloc_inst() creates default configfs child groups for the default endpoint and default block using configfs_add_default_group(), setting their internal refcount to 1. However, during function teardown in f_midi2_free_inst() or EP cleanup in f_midi2_ep_opts_release(), configfs_remove_default_groups() is never called, therefore never dropping the refcount and leaking struct f_midi2_ep_opts and f_midi2_block_opts. Add the missing configfs_remove_default_groups() in the afformentioned functions to free the structs properly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: uvc: Fix null pointer dereference in uvcg_video_init() In uvcg_video_init(), if kthread_run_worker() fails, the error logged uses uvcg_err(), however, the pointer it uses: video->uvc is not assigned at this point, triggering a null pointer dereference. Fix this by directly using uvc->func which is assigned already.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_fs: Prevent deadlock during ep0 read loop Currently, ffs_ep0_read() holds ffs->mutex when it prepares to go to sleep waiting for an event. When no setup events are pending, it calls wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked_irq() with the mutex still held. The wait macro deliberately drops the waitqueue spinlock before sleeping but does not drop the mutex. If a userspace daemon is polling ep0 via read() and the gadget is asynchronously torn down via configfs (e.g., echo "" > UDC), a deadlock can occur: 1. The configfs teardown calls functionfs_unbind(), which queues a FUNCTIONFS_UNBIND event. 2. The daemon wakes up, consumes the event, and drops the mutex. 3. However, if the daemon loops and immediately issues another read() before exiting, it reacquires ffs->mutex and again goes into an interruptible sleep. 4. Meanwhile, functionfs_unbind() continues execution and attempts to acquire ffs->mutex to tear down ep0req. 5. The kernel deadlocks because the configfs thread is stuck in an uninterruptible sleep waiting for the mutex, while the userspace daemon is in an interruptible sleep holding the mutex forever because no more events will arrive. To fix this, we drop both the waitqueue spinlock and ffs->mutex before going to sleep, and use wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() instead. Upon waking up, we jump back to the `retry` label to safely reacquire the mutex and re-evaluate the state machine. By not sleeping with ffs->mutex held, we natively decouple gadget teardowns (which require the mutex) from userspace polling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fpga: altera-cvp: Avoid out-of-bounds read in trailing byte write The trailing byte path in altera_cvp_send_block() dereferences a u32 pointer even when only 1-3 bytes remain in the input buffer. If the buffer ends at a page or scatterlist boundary, this can read past the valid image data and fault. Copy the remaining bytes into a zero-initialized u32 before writing the final word so only valid bytes are read from the input buffer.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: renesas: Fix out-of-bounds access for newdevs mask When software initiates DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment), the controller reports the result via the NRSPQP (Normal Response Queue Port Register). The data length field of the response descriptor, which is accessible through the NRSPQP register, indicates the number of devices remaining after DAA. Consequently, when the bus is empty, this field contains the maximum number of devices supported by the controller (8 for the Renesas I3C controller). Adjust the condition that computes the newly discovered devices bitmask to prevent an out-of-bounds when the I3C bus is empty.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: GICv2: Don't WARN on out-of-range GICV_DIR INTID vgic_v2_deactivate() passes the INTID a guest wrote to GICV_DIR straight to vgic_get_vcpu_irq(), and treats a failed lookup as a "can't happen" condition with WARN_ON_ONCE(). The guest can make it happen at will, though: for any INTID outside of the implemented SGI, PPI and SPI ranges the lookup returns NULL, since GICv2 has no LPIs. A guest running with EOImode==1 writing such an INTID to GICV_DIR triggers the WARN, and panics hosts running with panic_on_warn. Drop the WARN and ignore failed lookups.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen() Patch series "lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen()", v2. This series fixes an off-by-one out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen(). The first patch is the real fix, the second patch comes as a bonus and fixes the code indentation. This patch (of 2): ucs2_strnlen() checks the current character before checking whether the caller-provided maximum length has been reached. If the input is not NUL-terminated within that bound, the loop can read one ucs2_char_t past the limit. Test the length before dereferencing to prevent an off-by-one out-of-bounds read.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI/sysfs: Fix out-of-bounds read in pci_write_legacy_io() pci_write_legacy_io() loads 4 bytes from the kernfs write buffer regardless of how many bytes userspace wrote: if (count != 1 && count != 2 && count != 4) return -EINVAL; return pci_legacy_write(bus, off, *(u32 *)buf, count); kernfs_fop_write_iter() allocates the buffer with kmalloc(len + 1), so a 1-byte write to the legacy_io sysfs file allocates 2 bytes and the unconditional u32 load reads up to 2 bytes past the end of the allocation, which KASAN reports as a slab-out-of-bounds read. Similarly, a 2-byte write overreads by 1 byte. Thus, read only the number of bytes requested using get_unaligned_le16() and get_unaligned_le32() for the 2 and 4 byte cases, interpreting the buffer as little-endian to match the byte ordering of PCI I/O port space. The PowerPC implementation previously compensated for the generic code's native-endian 32-bit load by shifting the value into place for the 1 and 2 byte cases. The shifts were only correct on big-endian kernels. On little-endian PowerPC (POWER8 and later), they extracted the wrong bytes, so a 1-byte write wrote an out-of-bounds byte instead of the requested value. On big-endian, the native load also caused out_le16() and out_le32() to reverse the user's bytes on the wire for 2 and 4 byte writes. The little-endian helpers resolve both issues, so the shifts are removed. No changes are needed for the Alpha platform. The legacy_io file is root-only and exists only on Alpha and PowerPC, the two architectures that define HAVE_PCI_LEGACY.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: rockchip-samsung-dcphy: fix out-of-range max_register The PHY register block is 64KB, so with a register stride of 4 the last accessible register sits at offset 0xfffc. max_register names 0x10000, one register past the end of the mapping: dumping the registers through the regmap debugfs interface reads beyond the ioremapped region and oopses on the unmapped page. The oops fires with the regmap lock held, so later PHY operations deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: zram: fix out-of-bounds access in read_block_state() read_block_state() calculates nr_pages before taking dev_lock. If the device is reset and reinitialized with a smaller disksize before lock acquisition, nr_pages still describes the old table. The subsequent loop can then call slot_lock() past the end of the newly allocated table. Read disksize after acquiring dev_lock and checking that the device is initialized. The read lock then keeps the table and its bound stable for the duration of the scan.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: zram: fix out-of-bounds access in writeback_store() Patch series "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization". Both writeback_store() and read_block_state() derive their table scan bounds from zram->disksize before acquiring dev_lock. If the device is reset and reinitialized with a smaller disksize between that read and lock acquisition, the bound can describe the old table while the scan operates on the new one. This can lead to out-of-bounds slot accesses. Move both bound calculations under dev_lock so each bound remains consistent with the table throughout its scan. Keep the fixes separate because the affected interfaces originate from different commits and can be backported independently. This patch (of 2): writeback_store() calculates the table scan bounds before taking dev_lock. A reset followed by reconfiguration with a smaller disksize can therefore replace zram->table while writeback_store() is waiting for the lock. Once it acquires the lock, it sees an initialized device but scans the new table using the old upper bound, resulting in an out-of-bounds access. Calculate the number of pages while holding dev_lock so the scan bound matches the table protected by the lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: zram: set default primary compressor in zram_destroy_comps() Patch series "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko". Sashiko drove by and reported [1] a couple of zram issues: a possible BUG_ON() in zlib code due to missing winbits range validation and one possible NULL-ptr dereference in zcomp. Both are low risk yet still worth fixing. This patch (of 2): zram_destroy_comps() resets all compressors and leaves them set to NULL, including the primary one, which is invalid device state, as now comp_algorithm_show()->strcmp() can be called on a NULL compressor. Set default primary compressor in zram_destroy_comps().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS/localio: fix ref leak on nfs_uuid_add_file failure When nfs_uuid_add_file() races with nfs_uuid_put() tearing down uuid->net, it returns -ENXIO without publishing nfl->nfs_uuid via rcu_assign_pointer(). nfs_open_local_fh() then enters its error branch and only releases the slot's file ref and its paired net ref plus its own entry-time net ref, while the close path is a no-op: nfs_close_local_fh() nfs_uuid = rcu_dereference(nfl->nfs_uuid); if (!nfs_uuid) { rcu_read_unlock(); return; } /* always */ nfsd_open_local_fh() returns localio holding a caller-owned +1 nfsd_file reference (from nfsd_file_get() after nfsd_file_acquire_local()) and an entry-time nfsd_net reference (from its first nfsd_net_try_get()) embedded as nf->nf_net. Both are leaked on the failure path, pinning one nfsd_file (and the underlying struct file, dentry, inode) and one nfsd_net_ref per occurrence, which blocks nfsd_net and netns teardown. Fix by releasing the caller-owned file ref and its net ref through the existing helper, using a stack-local RCU pointer so the helper can xchg it out, then returning -ENXIO so callers do not dereference a localio whose slot has been cleared: struct nfsd_file __rcu *tmp = RCU_INITIALIZER(localio); nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local(pnf); nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local(&tmp); localio = ERR_PTR(-ENXIO); The trailing nfs_to_nfsd_net_put(net) continues to release the outer net ref, so all three nfsd_net_try_get() increments are balanced on the error branch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS: fix delegation_hash_table leak when nfs4_server_common_setup() fails nfs4_server_common_setup() allocates server->delegation_hash_table first, but server->destroy - the only path that frees the table via nfs4_destroy_server() - is not assigned until the very end of the function. If any intermediate step fails (the is_ds_only_client() check, nfs4_init_session(), nfs4_get_rootfh(), or nfs_probe_server()), the function returns with server->destroy still NULL, so the caller's nfs_free_server() skips the destroy callback and the hash table is leaked (4 KiB per attempt with the default delegation watermark). This is trivially reachable from userspace: every failed NFSv4 mount leaks one allocation. A client that persistently retries a mount that cannot succeed leaks kernel memory without bound. Observed in production where a Longhorn backup poller retried mount.nfs4 against an NFSv3-only server roughly 10 times per second, leaking ~3.4 GiB of unreclaimable slab (kmalloc-rnd-13-4k) per day; the node accumulated 12 GiB of leaked slab before the source was identified via the kmem:kmalloc tracepoint (call_site=nfs4_delegation_hash_alloc). Reproducer: # server exports NFSv3 only (or export path absent for v4) while :; do mount -t nfs4 <server>:/missing /mnt; done # watch SUnreclaim in /proc/meminfo grow 4 KiB per iteration Free the table on the error paths between the allocation and the assignment of server->destroy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4.1: fix layout segment leak on the pnfs_layout_process() forget path When the server returns a new layout stateid while a valid one is still held, pnfs_layout_process() calls pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() on the on-stack free_me list and jumps to out_forget. Segments whose reference count drops to zero are unlinked from lo->plh_segs and moved to free_me by mark_lseg_invalid(); for an idle cached segment the layout header holds the only reference, so this happens on the first decrement. out_forget never drains free_me -- only the success path calls pnfs_free_lseg_list(). Commit 814b84971388 ("pNFS/NFSv4: Fix a layout segment leak in pnfs_layout_process()") added the drain; commit 08bd8dbe8882 ("pNFS/NFSv4: Try to return invalid layout in pnfs_layout_process()") removed it while switching the destination to lo->plh_return_segs, which is drained elsewhere. Commit fb700ef02676 ("NFSv4.1: Simplify layout return in pnfs_layout_process()") switched the destination back to free_me without restoring the drain. Restore the pnfs_free_lseg_list() call.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: validate nseconds in TIME_DELEG decode paths The xdrgen-based TIME_DELEG_ACCESS and TIME_DELEG_MODIFY decode arms store a raw uint32_t nseconds directly into tv_nsec without enforcing nseconds < NSEC_PER_SEC. The legacy nfsd4_decode_nfstime4 has this check but the TIME_DELEG paths do not. A malformed timespec can propagate through notify_change() to disk. Add range checks in both nfs4xdr.c (SETATTR path) and nfs4callback.c (CB_GETATTR path).

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: validate sockaddr length per family in listener_set nfsd_sock_nl_policy declares NFSD_A_SOCK_ADDR as a bare NLA_BINARY attribute with no minimum length. A CAP_NET_ADMIN caller can send a 16-byte NFSD_A_SOCK_ADDR with sa_family=AF_INET6, causing a 12-byte OOB read across three consumers (rpc_cmp_addr_port, svc_find_listener, kernel_bind). nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() also parsed and validated each listener entry inline in two separate loops, interleaved with mutating the running listener configuration. The validation was duplicated, used an open-coded "nla_len < sizeof(struct sockaddr)" check that was too short for AF_INET6, and handled a malformed entry inconsistently depending on which loop noticed it. Add an nfsd_nl_validate_listeners() helper that walks the entire list once and confirms each entry parses, carries both an address and a transport name, and is long enough for its address family (sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) for AF_INET, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) for AF_INET6, -EAFNOSUPPORT otherwise). Call it before taking nfsd_mutex or creating the serv, so a malformed request fails cleanly with no side effects. Since every entry is known valid by the time the two existing loops run, drop the redundant presence and per-family length checks from both, leaving only the nla_parse_nested() call needed to extract the data.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: widen nfsd_genl_rqstp address fields to sockaddr_storage struct nfsd_genl_rqstp declares rq_daddr and rq_saddr as plain "struct sockaddr" (16 bytes). When an IPv6 NFS client is connected, nfsd_genl_rpc_status_compose_msg() casts these fields to "struct sockaddr_in6 *" (28 bytes) and reads sin6_addr at offset 8..24, which extends 8 bytes past the end of the 16-byte sockaddr field into the adjacent rq_flags member. The 16-byte nla_put_in6_addr then ships 8 bytes of truncated IPv6 address followed by 8 bytes of rq_flags to userspace via the NFSD_A_RPC_STATUS_SADDR6/DADDR6 netlink attributes. This is reachable by any unprivileged process in the network namespace because NFSD_CMD_RPC_STATUS_GET uses GENL_CMD_CAP_DUMP without GENL_ADMIN_PERM. Fix by widening rq_daddr and rq_saddr to struct sockaddr_storage so the IPv6 casts operate within bounds, copying sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) bytes in the memcpy calls so the full address is captured, and zero-initializing the genl_rqstp stack variable to prevent leaking uninitialized tail bytes through netlink.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: check client ownership when cancelling a copy-notify stateid On the OFFLOAD_CANCEL path (clp != NULL), manage_cpntf_state() freed the target cpntf state without checking ownership. The lookup key st->si_opaque.so_id is allocated cyclically (guessable) and the embedded clientid is the fixed per-net nn->s2s_cp_cl_id, so any authenticated NFSv4.2 client could cancel and free another client's copy-notify stateid. Compare the creating clientid recorded in state->cp_p_clid against the requesting client's cl_clientid and return nfserr_bad_stateid on a mismatch instead of freeing the entry.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: check nfsd4_acl_to_attr() return value in nfsd4_create() nfsd4_create() stores the return value of nfsd4_acl_to_attr() in status, but the switch(create->cr_type) block unconditionally overwrites it in every branch. ACL translation errors are silently discarded, and the CREATE proceeds without the requested ACL. Add an early exit check after nfsd4_acl_to_attr(), matching the pattern already used in nfsd4_setattr(). [ cel: prefer NFS4ERR_BADTYPE over NFS4ERR_ATTRNOTSUPP ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix dentry ref leak on V4ROOT export filehandle lookup nfsd_set_fh_dentry() leaks the dentry reference from exportfs_decode_fh_raw() when the NFS3_FHSIZE or NFS_FHSIZE switch cases detect NFSEXP_V4ROOT and goto out. The out: label calls exp_put() but never dput(dentry), and fhp->fh_dentry was never assigned so fh_put() cannot compensate. A crafted NFSv3 filehandle targeting a V4ROOT export's fsid triggers the leak on every request.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix XDR padding calculation in ff_encode_getdeviceinfo nfsd4_ff_encode_getdeviceinfo() computes the da_addr_body reservation as 16 + netid_len + addr_len, but the subsequent xdr_encode_opaque() calls emit 8 + round_up(netid_len, 4) + round_up(addr_len, 4) bytes. The mismatch means the declared da_addr_body length exceeds the actual encoded data by 2-8 bytes on every flexfile GETDEVICEINFO reply, leaking stale reply-page content to the client and mis-aligning the subsequent version list decode. Use xdr_align_size() for each string length to match what xdr_encode_opaque() actually writes.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: reject out-of-range nseconds in NFSv3 SETATTR and create ops A client can send an NFSv3 SETATTR, CREATE, MKDIR, SYMLINK or MKNOD carrying an atime or mtime whose nseconds field is out of range. The value is well-formed on the wire and decodes cleanly into a valid uint32, but it is not a valid timespec64: tv_nsec must be less than NSEC_PER_SEC. Nothing in the setattr path clamps it. notify_change() runs the time through timestamp_truncate(), which does not reduce tv_nsec below NSEC_PER_SEC when the filesystem supports nanosecond granularity (s_time_gran == 1), and the inode atime/mtime setters store it verbatim (only ctime is normalized, via inode_set_ctime_to_ts()). The un-normalized value then corrupts on-disk metadata: ext4's ext4_encode_extra_time() shifts tv_nsec left by EXT4_EPOCH_BITS, which overflows the 32-bit extra field and clobbers the seconds-epoch bits, so the stored seconds (and thus the year) are wrong on read-back. XFS with bigtime mis-stores the timestamp for the same reason. Validate the client-supplied atime/mtime in the proc handlers and return NFS3ERR_INVAL before anything is changed. RFC 1813 lists NFS3ERR_INVAL for SETATTR and describes it as the error for a value the server 'can not store ... in its own representation'; the client maps it to EINVAL. Checking in the proc handlers, rather than in nfsd_setattr(), keeps the rejection in front of object creation. The create operations create the object before nfsd_create_setattr() runs, so a late failure would leave the new object behind and turn a non-idempotent request into a namespace change that reports failure. The check is therefore done up front, for the create operations before the object is created. tv_nsec is a long, so the comparison casts it to unsigned long (the same width) rather than to u32, matching timespec64_valid(). A u32 cast would truncate on 64-bit; the unsigned long cast also rejects a value that became negative when an out-of-range u32 wire nseconds was assigned to a 32-bit long. Only client-supplied times are checked: SET_TO_SERVER_TIME requests carry no client value. The sattrguard3 ctime is deliberately left alone: an out-of-range guard simply never matches the object's ctime and yields NFS3ERR_NOT_SYNC via the existing guardtime comparison, which is the protocol-correct outcome rather than rejecting the request.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSD: Prevent post-shutdown use-after-free in unlock_filesystem Writing a filesystem path to /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_filesystem runs nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb() before nfsd_mutex is held and before the handler confirms that nn->nfsd_serv is set. Once nfsd has shut down, nfs4_state_destroy_net() has freed nn->conf_id_hashtbl but left the pointer intact, so the cancel helper iterates freed slab memory as an array of struct list_head and then dereferences a bogus nfs4_client when it takes clp->async_lock. A local administrator holding CAP_SYS_ADMIN can reach this use-after-free by stopping the server and then writing to unlock_filesystem; KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free read in nfsd4_cancel_copy_by_sb(). nfsd4_revoke_states() walks the same state tables and for that reason already runs only under nfsd_mutex with nn->nfsd_serv confirmed present. Move the async COPY cancel into that protected section so every NFSv4 state-table walker on this path observes a running server. Async copies exist only while the server runs, so gating the cancel on nn->nfsd_serv loses nothing.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: drop recovered reloc root refs on recovery failure During relocation recovery, each fs root gets a reference to its relocation root. If loading or adding a later root fails, or if the first transaction commit fails, btrfs_recover_relocation() jumps to out_unset before merge_reloc_roots() and clean_dirty_subvols(). put_reloc_control() drops the list-owned relocation root references, but it does not clear fs_root->reloc_root or drop the references owned by those pointers. Mount cleanup only drops them when BTRFS_FS_ERROR is set, so an error such as -ENOMEM while processing a later root can leave references behind. Keep temporary references to the fs roots associated during recovery. On failure, clear their reloc_root pointers and drop the corresponding references. Once the first transaction commit succeeds, drop only the temporary fs root references and let the normal merge and cleanup paths handle the relocation roots. Fault injection on a pending-relocation image confirmed the cleanup gap. With an injected first-commit failure, 25 fs roots had reloc_root set with fs_error=0. With this fix, the same failure path drops that count to 0 before mount fails.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix extent map leak in NOCOW direct I/O write btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() calls btrfs_get_extent(), which returns an extent map reference that must be dropped on all exit paths. For direct writes into a NOCOW range, btrfs_get_blocks_direct_write() keeps using that extent map and asks btrfs_create_dio_extent() to allocate the ordered extent. If that fails, for example because btrfs_alloc_ordered_extent() fails, the function returns the error without dropping the input extent map. The PREALLOC path avoided this by dropping the input extent map before replacing it with the newly created one. Check the error from btrfs_create_dio_extent() before replacing the map and drop the input extent map on failure.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: call pagecache_isize_extended() in cifs_setsize() when extending cifs_setsize() calls truncate_pagecache() but skips pagecache_isize_extended() on extension. truncate_setsize() shows the correct pattern: i_size_write(inode, newsize); if (newsize > oldsize) pagecache_isize_extended(inode, oldsize, newsize); truncate_pagecache(inode, newsize); pagecache_isize_extended() zeroes the tail of the page straddling old EOF. Without it, dirty bytes in that region can be written back to the server, exposing stale data in the newly extended range.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: picolcd: clamp eeprom debugfs read to bytes actually received picolcd_debug_eeprom_read() trusts resp->raw_data[2] -- a length byte supplied by the device in its REPORT_EE_DATA reply -- clamped only to the caller's read() count: ret = resp->raw_data[2]; if (ret > s) ret = s; if (copy_to_user(u, resp->raw_data+3, ret)) It never checks resp->raw_size, the number of bytes picolcd_raw_event() actually copied into the 64-byte raw_data[] of the kmalloc'd struct picolcd_pending. A device (or a spoofed picoLCD) returning a length byte of 0xff, read with a count >= 255, makes copy_to_user() read past raw_data[] into adjacent slab memory and return it to userspace through the debugfs "eeprom" file: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _copy_to_user Read of size 255 ... picolcd_debug_eeprom_read+0x214/0x2f0 [hid_picolcd] The debug-dump path in the same file already validates the device length byte against the received size before trusting it; this read does not. The file is created S_IRUSR (root-only) and a crafted device is needed, so it is neither unprivileged- nor remotely-triggerable. Clamp the copy length to resp->raw_size - 3 (the payload actually received, minus the 3-byte header), floored at 0 for short replies.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: roccat: free buffered reports when destroying device roccat_report_event() duplicates each report with kmemdup() and stores the allocation in a circular-buffer slot. The allocation is released only when that slot is reused. The device destruction paths free struct roccat_device without releasing reports still stored in cbuf[]. This makes those allocations unreachable and leaks up to ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE report buffers per device. Add a small destructor that frees every buffered report before freeing the device, and use it in both paths that can destroy a registered device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: sony: fix UAF of ghl_poke_timer / ghl_urb at driver unbind For GHL (Guitar Hero Live) dongles, sony_probe() arms a periodic timer: ghl_magic_poke() (the timer callback) submits sc->ghl_urb, and the URB completion ghl_magic_poke_cb() re-arms the timer with mod_timer(). sony_remove() drained the timer with timer_delete_sync() and then freed the URB with usb_free_urb(): timer_delete_sync(&sc->ghl_poke_timer); usb_free_urb(sc->ghl_urb); timer_delete_sync() does not block re-arming, and while the URB is in flight the timer is not pending, so the sync delete is a no-op. A URB completion that runs after the delete re-arms the timer, and usb_free_urb() only drops a reference -- it does not kill an in-flight URB. sc is allocated with devm_kzalloc() and freed once sony_remove() returns, so the re-armed ghl_poke_timer (embedded in sc) then fires on freed memory, a use-after-free from timer softirq. This is a disconnect/rmmod race. Poison the URB first, then shut the timer down, before freeing the URB. usb_poison_urb() kills any in-flight URB and permanently rejects further submissions, so a poke timer that is still pending cannot re-submit the URB from ghl_magic_poke() in the window before timer_shutdown_sync() runs. usb_kill_urb() would not suffice: it only cancels the in-flight URB and leaves it submittable once it returns, so the pending timer could re-submit it and put a fresh URB in flight over the freed sc. timer_shutdown_sync() then drains any last callback and blocks re-arming. The probe error path is unaffected: it is only reached before the timer is armed. Reproduced under KASAN on next-20260710 via dummy_hcd + raw-gadget emulation of the GHL PS4 dongle (VID 0x1430 / PID 0x07bb): hid-sony binds and arms the poke timer, the poke URB is held in flight, the driver is unbound (freeing sc), then the URB is released. The completion re-arms the timer on the freed sc, and the re-armed timer fires ~8 s later: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ghl_magic_poke+0x98/0xb0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88810b02fd50 by task swapper/0/0 ghl_magic_poke+0x98/0xb0 call_timer_fn+0x35/0x2b0 __run_timers+0x69c/0x9a0 run_timer_softirq+0x173/0x2a0 Allocated by task 169: sony_probe Freed by task 338: devres_release_group <- hid_device_remove (sony_remove) Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: mcp2221: stop device IO before hid_hw_stop Quiesce device IO at the start of the devm cleanup callback mcp2221_hid_unregister() so that incoming HID reports cannot race with hardware teardown during probe failure or device removal, addressing a potential use-after-free. Guard the call to hid_device_io_stop() with io_started. On normal removal hid_device_remove() has already cleared io_started before the devres group is released, so an unconditional call would otherwise hit the !io_started path and emit a spurious "io already stopped" warning on every removal. The guard preserves the probe-failure balancing, where io_started is still set after hid_device_io_start(), while staying silent on the normal removal path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: mcp2221: validate report size in mcp2221_raw_event() mcp2221_raw_event() never validates the size of incoming HID reports. In the MCP2221_I2C_GET_DATA path it trusts the device-supplied data[3] as the copy length without checking that 4 + data[3] bytes actually exist in the received report. A malicious or misbehaving USB device can send a short report with a large data[3], causing the memcpy to read past the valid report data in the HID transfer buffer and leak uninitialized kernel memory back to userspace through the I2C/SMBus read path. Add a minimum size check at entry and validate that the source range fits within the received report before the copy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei() eventfs_create_dir() allocates the eventfs_inode and initializes it with init_ei(). But this does not initialize the eventfs_inode list_heads. If the eventfs_create_dir() fails due to memory pressure, it will call free_ei() before it initialized the lists, and that checks to make sure the eventfs_inode has no children. But because the list wasn't initialized, it will give a false warning. Fix it by moving the list initialization into init_ei(). [ Rewrote change log ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: efivarfs: Rate limit statfs() handler Ravi reports that statfs() may be called by unprivileged users on the efivarfs mount point, which may result in a flood of calls to the QueryVariableInfo() runtime service. These calls are disproportionately costly on x86 systems where the variable store is backed by SMM, as each SMM entry requires a rendez-vous of all the CPUs. So rate limit the calls to QueryVariableInfo() at twice per second, and return the most recently obtained value for calls that are elided.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fsnotify: Fix stale object mask after concurrent mark updates When a mark gets a new event bit, fanotify and inotify may avoid recalculating the object mask if the cached aggregate already contains that bit. This is racy with a recalculation triggered by a concurrent update to another mark on the same connector. The concurrent scan can read the mark before the new bit is added, while the updater reads the old aggregate before that scan publishes its result. The updater then skips recalculation and the scan publishes a mask without the bit, leaving the object mask stale after both updates complete. This can be reproduced with two fanotify groups watching the same inode: one thread removes FAN_MODIFY from one existing mark while another thread adds FAN_MODIFY to the other mark. After both fanotify_mark() calls return, writes can fail to produce FAN_MODIFY for the group whose mark now contains the bit. This was reproduced on an unmodified v6.12.95 kernel. The equivalent inotify interleaving loses IN_MODIFY events. For normal fanotify additions, recalculate whenever the raw mark mask changes. The normal mask is not cleared asynchronously, so an unchanged addition cannot introduce missing interest. Always recalculate ignore-mask updates because FS_MODIFY handling may clear the ignore mask without taking mark->lock, making snapshot comparisons unreliable. Always recalculate after updating an existing inotify watch. Its replace path temporarily sets mark->mask to zero, so a concurrent scan can observe zero even when the old and final masks are equal. Assigning the replacement mask directly would avoid the transient zero, but existing-watch updates are infrequent, so unconditional recalculation is simpler.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/rocket: fix NULL dereference and integer overflow in rocket_job_push() rocket_job_push() allocates a temporary array to hold all input and output GEM object pointers: bos = kvmalloc_array(job->in_bo_count + job->out_bo_count, sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL); memcpy(bos, job->in_bos, job->in_bo_count * sizeof(void *)); memcpy(&bos[job->in_bo_count], job->out_bos, ...); Two bugs exist: 1. Missing NULL check: if kvmalloc_array() fails, bos is NULL and the subsequent memcpy() dereferences it, causing a kernel NULL pointer dereference. 2. Integer overflow: in_bo_count and out_bo_count are both u32, set directly from userspace-supplied in_bo_handle_count and out_bo_handle_count with no prior validation. Their sum is computed in u32 arithmetic and can wrap to a smaller value, causing the allocation count passed to kvmalloc_array() to be smaller than intended. Subsequent uses still operate on the original counts when copying and locking objects, which may lead to out-of-bounds accesses on the temporary array. Fix by using check_add_overflow() to detect count overflow before the allocation, and adding a NULL check on the allocation result.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/rocket: initialize job domain before cleanup paths rocket_ioctl_submit_job() releases rjob through rocket_job_put() on allocation error paths. rocket_job_cleanup() unconditionally calls rocket_iommu_domain_put(job->domain), but job->domain is assigned only after task copying and BO lookups. A failure before that assignment can therefore clean up a job with a NULL domain pointer. Take the per-file domain reference before the first error path can release rjob. Also clear rjob->tasks after freeing it in rocket_copy_tasks(), so the common cleanup path cannot free the task array again after a task-copy error.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/rocket: Fix error path handling in rocket_job_run() In rocket_job_run(), after taking an extra fence reference for job->done_fence via dma_fence_get(), the error paths have three bugs: - The dma_fence reference held by job->done_fence is never released, causing a reference leak. - pm_runtime_get_sync() increments the usage counter even on failure, but the error path does not decrement it, leaking the runtime PM reference and preventing the NPU from suspending. - A valid but unsignaled fence is returned to the DRM scheduler, which triggers WARN("Fence ... released with pending signals!") when the scheduler drops its reference. Fix by replacing pm_runtime_get_sync() with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() which auto-balances the usage counter on failure, releasing both fence references on error, and returning ERR_PTR(ret) instead of the unsignaled fence.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: acpi/apei/ghes: Use raw_spinlock_t for CXL CPER work locks The CXL CPER work registration and unregistration helpers acquire cxl_cper_work_lock and cxl_cper_prot_err_work_lock with a spinlock guard(), which leaves local interrupts enabled. The corresponding post paths (cxl_cper_post_event(), cxl_cper_post_prot_err()) execute in hard IRQ context (they are called from the GHES error notification path) and acquire the same locks with an irqsave guard(). If a CPU is holding one of these locks via a spinlock guard() when a GHES interrupt arrives on the same CPU, the IRQ handler spins on the held lock waiting for it to release, while the lock holder is preempted by the IRQ. The result is a deadlock. Convert both locks from spinlock_t to raw_spinlock_t and use guard() at all call sites. On PREEMPT_RT kernels spinlock_t is backed by rt_mutex and sleeping from hard IRQ context is not permitted; raw_spinlock_t is safe in both contexts. Add WARN_ONCE to both register functions to surface double-registration bugs at runtime. Restructure both unregister functions to clear the global work pointer under the lock before calling cancel_work_sync(), closing the window where a CPER interrupt could schedule work on a pointer about to be freed. Add kfifo_reset() after cancel_work_sync() so stale entries are not replayed on next module load. Both kfifos are single-consumer: only one work_struct is registered at a time, enforced by the WARN_ONCE guard in the register functions. kfifo_reset() is safe outside the lock because cancel_work_sync() has already quiesced the consumer, and no new consumer can register until the current module exit completes and a fresh module init runs. Remove the redundant cancel_work_sync() call from cxl_ras_exit() and cxl_pci_driver_exit(). The CPER unregister functions now quiesce the work internally.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnx2x: fix double free in bnx2x_init_firmware() error path bnx2x_init_firmware() frees bp->init_ops, bp->init_data and bp->init_ops_offsets in its error path without setting them to NULL. The cleanup function bnx2x_release_firmware() frees the same three pointers unconditionally, so if init_firmware fails and release_firmware is later called (e.g. from __bnx2x_remove or through the function state machine), all three are freed a second time. Set each pointer to NULL after kfree() in the error path so that the subsequent kfree(NULL) in bnx2x_release_firmware() is a safe no-op.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-io: clone the source bio instead of copying its biovec For DM_IO_BIO requests, do_region() built each destination bio by walking the source bio's biovec and re-adding the pages one at a time, tracking the remaining transfer in sectors. The vector lengths are byte granular and need not be sector aligned (e.g. a misaligned O_DIRECT buffer split across pages), so the sector-based accounting could lose a sub-sector fragment: to_sector() truncated the remainder and the outer loop spun forever submitting empty bios, hanging the I/O. There is no need to rebuild the biovec at all. The destination reads into (or writes from) exactly the same pages as the source bio, so the bio can simply clone the source's biovec with bio_alloc_clone() and remap it to the target device. The clone inherits the source's iterator and alignment, and the block layer splits it to the target's limits on submission, so the whole region maps to a single cloned bio with no manual page copying or sector accounting. This removes the per-page copy path (and its open-coded bvec dpages helpers) for bio-backed I/O and fixes the hang on misaligned direct I/O to a dm-mirror device. Page-list, vma and kmem sources keep the existing copy path.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-io: report non-retryable errors separatedly The error codes BLK_STS_NOTSUPP and BLK_STS_INVAL should not cause leg failure on dm-raid1. This patch changes the interface to dm-io, so that it reports two error bitmaps - error_bits and unsup_bits. The unsup_bit bitmap tracks BLK_STS_NOTSUPP or BLK_STS_INVAL errors, the error_bits bitmap tracks all the other errors. dm-raid1 is changed so that it won't fail a leg if it receives an error in the unsup_bits bitmap. This patch (with 62dc37a819a5) fixes misbehavior if the user uses unaligned bio vectors on dm-raid1.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-era: fix shadowed superblock leak on take-snap failure metadata_take_snap() bumps the live superblock refcount and then dm_tm_shadow_block() allocates a new block for the metadata snapshot. If the subsequent dm_sm_inc_block() of writeset_tree_root or era_array_root fails, the function only unlocks the clone and returns. The newly allocated shadow block is never returned to the metadata space map, so each failed take-snap permanently leaks one metadata block. Free the clone with dm_sm_dec_block() on those error paths, matching the final step of metadata_drop_snap().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm raid1: reserve space for NUL-terminator in build_constructor_string() Reserve space for the termination NUL after the maximum 20 decimal digits of a long long value to avoid buffer overflow in sprintf().

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: apple-soc: Fix OPP table cleanup apple_soc_cpufreq_init() adds OPP tables from firmware, but some failure paths do not remove them. The driver also uses dev_pm_opp_remove_all_dynamic(), which is not the right cleanup helper for OPP tables loaded from firmware. Use the cpumask OPP helper after the policy CPU mask has been populated. Pair it with the matching cpumask remove helper on failure paths and in apple_soc_cpufreq_exit(). This also removes the separate dev_pm_opp_set_sharing_cpus() call, as the cpumask helper loads the DT OPP tables for all CPUs in the policy.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kho: fix size calculation in kho_preserved_memory_reserve() kho_preserved_memory_reserve() calculates the size of a preservation by doing 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT). Since the '1' is a 32-bit integer, it can only be shifted by 31. That is, it will only work for preservations up to 2 GiB. Larger preservations will trigger undefined behaviour. While preservations larger than 2 GiB can't be obtained via folios currently, they can be obtained via kho_preserve_pages(). For example, memblock reserve_mem uses kho_preserve_pages(). Reservations larger than 2 GiB are valid and will trigger this bug if properly aligned. Fix it by using 1UL for shifting.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jbd2: bound shrinker scans by examined checkpoint buffers The jbd2 shrinker currently accounts only checkpoint buffers that it successfully releases against nr_to_scan. Busy buffers therefore do not consume the scan budget. If a checkpoint transaction contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker can scan its entire checkpoint list while holding journal->j_list_lock. Large checkpoint lists can result in excessive lock hold times and leave other CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, causing soft lockups or RCU stalls. Pass nr_to_scan into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and decrement it for every buffer examined, including busy buffers. Pass NULL from checkpoint cleanup paths so their existing full-list behavior is preserved. This restores the scan-budget semantics that existed before journal_shrink_one_cp_list() was changed to always scan a complete checkpoint list.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jbd2: check need_resched() when skipping busy checkpoint buffers journal_shrink_one_cp_list() skips busy checkpoint buffers when called with JBD2_SHRINK_BUSY_SKIP. The continue statement on this path also skips the need_resched() check at the end of the loop body. Consequently, when a checkpoint list contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker can walk the entire list while holding journal->j_list_lock, even when a reschedule has been requested. Large checkpoint lists under memory pressure can therefore cause long lock hold times and leave other CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, resulting in soft lockups or RCU stalls. Route the busy-buffer path through the need_resched() check so that the shrinker can release j_list_lock and reschedule promptly, restoring parity with the clean-buffer path, which already checks need_resched(). This does not change which checkpoint buffers are eligible for removal.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipip: fix skb leak in collect_md mode when metadata_dst allocation fails In collect_md mode ipip_tunnel_rcv() returns 0 without freeing the skb when ip_tun_rx_dst() fails to allocate the metadata_dst. ipip_rcv() and mplsip_rcv() are registered as xfrm_tunnel handlers, so tunnel4_rcv() and tunnelmpls4_rcv() read the zero return as "the packet has been consumed" and do not free it either. The skb is leaked. The other tunnel drivers all dispose of the packet at this point: ip6_tunnel.c jumps to its drop label, ip_gre.c and ip6_gre.c return PACKET_REJECT, which makes gre_rcv() free the skb. Only ipip returns 0. Jump to the existing drop label instead. It frees the skb and still returns 0, so the packet keeps being reported as consumed, which is what we want here: the outer header has already been pulled, and neither the remaining handlers nor an ICMP unreachable have any use for it. Triggering this needs an ipip or mplsip tunnel in collect_md mode and an atomic allocation failure, which is why it has gone unnoticed.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: module: validate string table section types In elf_validity_cache_sechdrs, section sizes and offsets are validated, unless the section type is SHT_NULL or SHT_NOBITS. Later, elf_validity_cache_secstrings and elf_validity_cache_index_str access the section name table (.shstrtab) and symbol string table (.strtab) headers without first ensuring that their types are SHT_STRTAB. If a section type is SHT_NULL or SHT_NOBITS, sh_offset has not been validated and may reference out-of-bounds memory when dereferenced in elf_validity_cache_secstrings or elf_validity_cache_strtab. Validate that both string section headers are of type SHT_STRTAB before caching them.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: params: fix charp corruption on allocation failure param_set_charp() stores charp parameters in allocated memory after slab is available, and releases the previous value when the parameter is updated. The previous value is released before the replacement allocation succeeds. If kmalloc_parameter() fails, the setter returns -ENOMEM with the parameter left as NULL. Failing zswap's compressor update before zswap is initialized can later trigger: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 RIP: 0010:strcmp+0x10/0x30 Call Trace: zswap_setup+0x3b1/0x490 zswap_enabled_param_set+0x5b/0xa0 param_attr_store+0x93/0xe0 module_attr_store+0x1c/0x30 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x116/0x1f0 Allocate and copy the replacement first, then replace the parameter value only after allocation succeeds.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sunrpc: fix use-after-free in __rpc_clnt_handle_event and __rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir Normal client creation goes through rpc_setup_pipedir(), which records clnt->pipefs_sb, but the mount-event path in __rpc_clnt_handle_event() calls rpc_setup_pipedir_sb() directly and never refreshes that field. The umount path also removes the directory without clearing clnt->pipefs_sb. After a late pipefs mount or any remount, rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir() compares the current superblock against a stale pipefs_sb pointer and skips cleanup, leaving pipefs dentries whose inode private data still points at a freed rpc_clnt, leading to a potential use-after-free during subsequent rpc_info_open() or rpc_show_info() calls. Fix this by properly updating clnt->pipefs_sb upon mount events and clearing it during unmount or failure paths.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: SUNRPC: reject duplicate CREDS_VALUE options gssx_dec_option_array() walks the wire-supplied option array and, for every entry whose name matches CREDS_VALUE, calls gssx_dec_linux_creds() on the same struct svc_cred. That helper unconditionally installs a fresh groups_alloc() result into creds->cr_group_info without releasing whatever pointer was already there: for (i = 0; i < count; i++) { ... decode name ... if (length == sizeof(CREDS_VALUE) && memcmp(p, CREDS_VALUE, sizeof(CREDS_VALUE)) == 0) { err = gssx_dec_linux_creds(xdr, creds); ... } } A reply that carries two CREDS_VALUE entries therefore overwrites cr_group_info on the second iteration and orphans the group_info allocated by the first call. The earlier free_creds path only releases the last cr_group_info via free_svc_cred(), so the first allocation's refcount stays at one and its kvmalloc-backed storage is leaked. No in-tree caller of gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall() expects more than one CREDS_VALUE per reply. Fix by tracking whether a CREDS_VALUE option has already been decoded and returning -EINVAL on any subsequent match, so the free_creds path releases the single group_info that was installed.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: svcrdma: Reject connection when transport allocation fails handle_connect_req() returns without action when svc_rdma_create_xprt() fails to allocate the new transport. The CM core returns 0 for CONNECT_REQUEST events, so it does not destroy the new rdma_cm_id. Each allocation failure under memory pressure leaks one rdma_cm_id, and a remote peer driving connection attempts can amplify this. Reject the connection by returning a non-zero status from the CM event handler, which tells the CM core to destroy the orphaned cm_id.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: svcrdma: Reject oversized Read segments at decode time The RPC/RDMA Read list decoder stores wire-supplied segment lengths without validation. xdr_count_read_segments() checks 4-byte alignment for non-zero position values but does not cap the segment length. An oversized rs_length reaches svc_rdma_build_read_segment(), which derives nr_bvec from it and can drive a large dynamic bvec allocation before verifying that enough rq_pages remain. If the post-allocation page-overrun guard fires, the freshly acquired rw context is not returned, leaking the resource. Reject any segment whose length exceeds the receive context's page budget during Read list decoding, consistent with how xdr_check_write_chunk() bounds Write segment counts against rc_maxpages. Also return the rw context on the existing post-allocation overrun path in svc_rdma_build_read_segment(), keeping that defensive guard balanced.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: svcrdma: Use svc_xprt_put to free listener on create failure svc_rdma_create() calls kfree(cma_xprt) when svc_rdma_create_listen_id() fails. svc_xprt_init() has already acquired a net namespace reference via get_net_track(); kfree bypasses svc_xprt_free() which releases it. Replace the kfree() with svc_xprt_put() so the kref_init birth reference drops to zero and svc_xprt_free() dispatches svc_rdma_free() to clean up properly. sc_cm_id is still NULL at that point; the preceding patch added the necessary NULL guard in svc_rdma_free(). svc_xprt_free() also drops the module reference via module_put(), but the caller _svc_xprt_create() does the same on xpo_create failure, double-putting the single try_module_get() it acquired. Take a compensating __module_get() before the svc_xprt_put() to keep the count balanced, matching the convention in svc_rdma_accept()'s error path.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udf: reject VAT indexes equal to the entry count UDF 1.50 virtual partition mapping uses the VAT as an array of physical block mappings. s_num_entries stores the number of entries in that array, not the highest valid index. The valid VAT indexes are therefore below s_num_entries. udf_get_pblock_virt15() currently rejects only indexes greater than s_num_entries. A crafted image can request index s_num_entries, pass the bounds check, and make the kernel read one entry past the allocated VAT table. Change the check to reject block >= s_num_entries, so the count is handled as an exclusive upper bound. A crafted UDF image reproduced this on origin/master commit 0e35b9b6ec0ffcc5e23cbdec09f5c622ad532b53 with a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds report in udf_get_pblock_virt15(). Trail of Bits has a reproducer that triggers kernel panic demonstrating the bug, and can share it if needed.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Replace SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP with a dispatch verdict return SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP tells the pick to keep running the previous task, a leftover from when balancing and picking were separate operations. An rq-level flag only works while dispatches and picks pair up one to one, which core scheduling breaks: selections interleave through dispatch's lock drops and a pick can consume a stale flag, keeping a task that has since been dequeued. Fixing core scheduling support requires the decision to travel with the dispatch that made it. Make scx_dispatch_sched() and balance_one() return an explicit verdict instead and drop the flag's plumbing from the tools autogen enum headers. Also factor the pick-side invocation, its follow-up queueing and the post-dispatch checks out of do_pick_task_scx() into dispatch_pick(). No functional changes intended. v2: Drop the SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP plumbing from the tools autogen enum headers as well (Andrea).

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Fix this_rq() assumptions in dispatch kfuncs Under core scheduling, dispatch runs from within the core-wide pick and can target a sibling rq, so ops.dispatch() may execute on a CPU different from the dispatched rq's. Several kfunc paths assumed the two always coincide: - scx_dsq_move() decided whether an rq lock is held by testing this_rq()'s rq flags and lock-danced accordingly. A dispatch for a sibling took the unlocked-context branch and acquired the source rq lock on top of the already held dispatched rq lock which could deadlock. - scx_bpf_sub_dispatch() dispatched this_rq() with its stashed sub_dispatch_prev, which is NULL when dispatching for a sibling. - finish_dispatch(), scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() and scx_bpf_dsq_nr_queued() resolved SCX_DSQ_LOCAL to this CPU's local DSQ rather than the dispatched rq's. The latter two are callable from other rq-locked operations too, where SCX_DSQ_LOCAL now likewise resolves to the op's rq. This changes behavior also without core scheduling, e.g. for ops.enqueue() running a remote wakeup on the waking CPU, and is intended: which CPU happens to execute an operation is incidental, the op's rq is what it is operating on, and the resolution now matches the insert side where SCX_DSQ_LOCAL dispatches land on the task's rq. Use the rq tracked by scx_locked_rq(), which is set to the dispatched rq around ops invocations and NULL in unlocked contexts.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Fix rq->core_pick corruption under core scheduling Core scheduling's pick_next_task() picks what to run on every SMT sibling of the core in a single pass under the shared core-wide rq lock. The selection state is consistent only while the lock is held continuously, so ->pick_task() originally could not release it. However, since 4c95380701f5 ("sched/ext: Fold balance_scx() into pick_task_scx()"), sched_ext runs dispatch from inside the pick and dispatching can drop the rq lock. To support this, pick_next_task() has been updated to restart the whole selection when a pick returns RETRY_TASK after releasing the lock. When selections on the same core interleave through the dropped lock, they corrupt each other's state: one clears the other's rq->core_pick leading to a NULL deref, or invalidates its keep-the-previous-task decision leaving a dequeued task running, which deadlocks the next wakeup and matches the reported hard hangs. A cookied ping-pong load on an SMT machine makes the interleavings frequent and kills the kernel within seconds. Fix it by making the pick return RETRY_TASK whenever dispatch released the rq lock, so that a selection only ever commits picks made under a continuously held lock. The previous patch's rq->scx.lock_drop_seq counts the releases. A dispatch that touched nothing never releases the lock and its verdict, including "nothing to run", stands: retries are bounded, each following a dispatch that actually did something, and an idle CPU does not loop. If another dispatch is already in flight on the rq, skip dispatching and pick from what is already queued locally - the in-flight dispatch has released the lock, so its own selection will retry and re-pick this rq, while returning RETRY_TASK here would only spin on the lock that dispatch needs to finish. Balance callbacks must run in the context that queued them, so they can only be queued on the CPU's own rq. When dispatching for another rq, run the deferred work directly instead - that rq may consume all its picks through the core-sched fast path and never queue the callback itself. The put_prev_task_scx() warning about a runnable task being left behind assumed that dispatch ran as part of the very pick that is switching away. That now only holds on the non-core path, so gate it and drop the cookie-match test, which is always true without core scheduling, from its condition.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Don't BUG_ON a destroyed DSQ in process_deferred_reenq_users scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() queues a deferred reenq (dru) that runs from run_deferred(), not ops.dispatch(). If the DSQ is destroyed before the dru runs, process_deferred_reenq_users() sees dsq->id == SCX_DSQ_INVALID and hits the BUG_ON. destroy_dsq() doesn't flush pending drus, so just skip. tj: Read dsq->id once with READ_ONCE(). Reading it separately in the INVALID check and the BUG_ON would leave a window where destroy_dsq() can invalidate the id between the two reads and still trigger the BUG_ON.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: fnic: Use GFP_ATOMIC for VLAN alloc under spinlock fnic_fcoe_process_vlan_resp() allocates a VLAN descriptor with kzalloc_obj() (default GFP_KERNEL) while holding vlans_lock via spin_lock_irqsave(). GFP_KERNEL may sleep, which is not allowed in this atomic context and can trigger a sleeping-from-invalid-context warning or deadlock. Pass GFP_ATOMIC so the allocation is safe under the IRQ-safe spinlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/ionic: Embed counter driver data in rdma_counter allocation Commit 7e53b31acc7f ("RDMA/core: Create and destroy rdma_counter using rdma_zalloc_drv_obj()") requires drivers implementing counter ops to embed struct rdma_counter in a driver-specific struct, register its size via INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE, and provide a counter_init callback. The ionic driver was merged without this adaptation, causing a NULL pointer dereference in alloc_and_bind() since rdma_zalloc_drv_obj() allocates zero bytes when size_rdma_counter is unset. Consolidate struct ionic_counter into a new struct ionic_rdma_counter that embeds struct rdma_counter, replace the xarray with a lightweight ida for ID allocation, and add the required counter_init and INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE declarations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/uverbs: Add UVERBS_ATTR_UHW to UVERBS_METHOD_REG_MR The original commit missed that three drivers (mthca, irdma, siw) have UHW data associated with reg_mr that cannot be passed through the ioctl. They also assume that the udata cannot be NULL, so failing to pass a valid udata can trigger a NULL udata crash in those drivers. This never happens in real systems since in rdma-core ibv_cmd_reg_mr_ex() does not accept a udata and those three drivers don't use it, however a malicious userspace could trigger it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/uverbs: Guard legacy bundles without method_elm The legacy write() path dispatches through a uverbs_api_write_method, but the uverbs_attr_bundle passed to provider code does not have an ioctl method element. If malformed provider input causes the common uverbs validation code to emit an error message, uverbs_get_handler_fn() dereferences the uninitialized method_elm pointer. Initialize method_elm explicitly for legacy bundles and make uverbs_get_handler_fn() return NULL when no ioctl method is present. The legacy dispatcher continues to use its local write method, while the ioctl path continues to use the registered ioctl handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: orangefs: fix double-free of trailer_buf on readdir copy failure On a readdir downcall, orangefs_devreq_write_iter() frees op->downcall.trailer_buf with vfree() when copy_from_iter_full() fails, but does not clear the pointer before goto Efault. The waiter in do_readdir() is then woken with a negative status and frees the same pointer again on its r < 0 path, causing a deterministic double-free. A client holding /dev/pvfs2-req triggers it by sending a readdir downcall whose declared trailer_size exceeds the bytes it supplies. Clear the pointer after freeing so the readdir-side vfree() becomes a no-op.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: cluster: don't sleep while holding o2hb_live_lock in o2hb_region_pin() Patch series "ocfs2: cluster: o2hb_region_pin() fixes", v2. This series fixes three related issues in o2hb_region_pin(), all are from the original implementation in commit: 58a3158a5d17 ("ocfs2/cluster: Pin/unpin o2hb regions"): 1) It is called with o2hb_live_lock (a spinlock) held, but the underlying configfs_depend_item() sleeps (takes inode rwsem and pins the filesystem). This triggers BUG under CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP. 2) When called from the configfs drop_item callback, it creates a lock order inversion: parent inode_lock -> configfs root inode_lock, which can deadlock against subsystem unregistration paths taking root -> parent. 3) If pinning fails partway through o2hb_region_inc_user(), the o2hb_dependent_users counter is leaked and partially-pinned regions are never released, leaving heartbeat regions unprotected on subsequent mounts. Patch 1 reworks o2hb_region_pin() to drop o2hb_live_lock across each sleeping configfs_depend_item() call, using a config_item reference to keep the region alive while unlocked. Patch 2 adds a from_callback parameter to select configfs_depend_item_unlocked() when called from configfs context, avoiding the inode_lock nesting. Patch 3 fixes the error path in o2hb_region_inc_user() to unpin and decrement the counter on failure. This patch (of 3): o2hb_region_pin() is always called with the o2hb_live_lock spinlock held (from o2hb_region_inc_user() and o2hb_heartbeat_group_drop_item()), but it calls o2nm_depend_item() -> configfs_depend_item(), which sleeps: it pins the configfs filesystem and takes the configfs root inode rwsem. Under CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP this triggers: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c in_atomic(): 1, ... name: mount.ocfs2 down_write configfs_depend_item o2hb_region_pin o2hb_region_inc_user o2hb_register_callback dlm_register_domain_handlers ... ocfs2_dlm_init ocfs2_mount_volume ocfs2_fill_super Rework o2hb_region_pin() to pin one region at a time with the lock dropped across the sleeping call: under o2hb_live_lock find the next eligible region and take a config_item reference to keep it alive, drop the lock, call o2nm_depend_item(), then retake the lock and record the pin. The config_item_put() is done with the lock released as well, since o2hb_region_release() also acquires o2hb_live_lock and can sleep. The region list may change while unlocked, so the scan restarts from the top after each pin. Local heartbeat still pins only the matching region; global heartbeat pins all eligible regions. The unpin path is unaffected: configfs_undepend_item() only takes a spinlock and does not sleep.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: fix readdir position truncation on 32-bit kernels In ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el(), the directory cookie position is rebuilt with ctx->pos = (ctx->pos & ~(sb->s_blocksize - 1)) | offset; `ctx->pos` is loff_t (signed 64-bit), while `sb->s_blocksize` is unsigned long. On 32-bit kernels unsigned long is 32-bit, so the mask ~(sb->s_blocksize - 1) is computed as a 32-bit unsigned value (e.g. 0xfffff000 for a 4 KiB block size). In the AND expression with the 64-bit `ctx->pos`, that unsigned operand is zero-extended to 64 bits per the usual arithmetic conversions, yielding 0x00000000fffff000. The high 32 bits of `ctx->pos` are silently cleared, even though directory size is allowed to exceed 4 GiB. When readdir() crosses the 4 GiB boundary on a 32-bit kernel the position is reset back into the first 4 GiB block, making the re-validation path re-enumerate already-returned dirents indefinitely. This is ocfs2_dir_foreach_blk_el(), the extent-list readdir path taken for all non-inline directories, so a directory large enough to cross 4 GiB reaches it. This is the same class of bug that commit 3dce5bb82c97 ("exfat: Fix bitwise operation having different size") fixed in exfat, and the fix mirrors the equivalent ext4 fix in this series. Cast the operand to loff_t so the mask is 64-bit before the AND: ctx->pos = (ctx->pos & ~((loff_t)sb->s_blocksize - 1)) | offset; 64-bit kernels are unaffected.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lockd: fix NULL dereference on lockowner allocation failure nlmclnt_locks_init_private() installs NLM file lock operations even when nlmclnt_find_lockowner() fails to allocate a lockowner. nlmclnt_proc() then returns -ENOMEM, but the VFS still tears down the partially initialized file_lock and calls locks_release_private(). That invokes nlmclnt_locks_release_private(), which dereferences fl->fl_u.nfs_fl.owner and crashes because the owner was never installed. Clear fl_ops before attempting to initialize the NLM private state, and install the NLM lock operations only after a lockowner has been allocated successfully.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: bq24257: fix use-after-free on remove The STAT-pin interrupt is devm-managed, so it stays armed until the devm cleanup that runs after remove() returns. remove() cancels bq->iilimit_setup_work while the threaded handler can still fire; that handler reschedules the work and dereferences bq, so the work runs against freed memory once devm frees bq. Make the delayed work device-managed with devm_delayed_work_autocancel(), registered before the interrupt request. The devm cleanup then releases the interrupt first, so the handler can no longer reschedule the work, and cancels the work before bq is freed. The explicit cancel_delayed_work_sync() in remove() is no longer needed and is dropped. Found by static analysis.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: bq256xx: drain usb_work before freeing the charger The USB-PHY notifier queues usb_work, whose handler calls power_supply_changed(bq->charger). The reset devm action only unregisters the notifier and was registered before the power supplies, so devm frees bq->charger on unwind before the action runs; a usb_work still queued can then dereference it. Register the reset action after the power supplies, so it unregisters the notifiers and drains usb_work before the supplies are released. Initialize usb_work and obtain the PHY references before registering the notifiers, so the worker cannot run before the supplies exist. Found by static analysis.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: bq25890: Fix power_supply reference leak bq25890_fw_probe() acquires a reference to a secondary charger using power_supply_get_by_name(), but the reference is not released on later probe failures or on driver detach. In particular, failures after bq25890_fw_probe() returns successfully, such as a failure in bq25890_hw_init(), also leak the reference. Register a device-managed cleanup action immediately after acquiring the secondary charger. This releases the reference on all subsequent probe failures and on driver detach. Found by code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: lp8788-charger: fix use-after-free on remove lp8788_charger_remove() flushes charger_work before unregistering the IRQs. An IRQ thread can queue charger_work after flush_work() has returned. The work can then run after devres frees pchg and dereference it in lp8788_charger_event(). Unregister the IRQs first. free_irq() waits for any running threaded handler, so no handler can queue more work afterwards. Then use cancel_work_sync() to cancel pending work or wait for running work to finish. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: qcom_battmgr: fix use-after-free qcom_battmgr_pdr_notify() queues enable_work when the PMIC GLINK service comes up, and the worker recovers battmgr through container_of() to issue firmware requests. The PMIC GLINK client stays on the client list until its devres release action runs, so a PDR notification can keep queueing the work, and a pending or running worker can access battmgr after devres frees it. Make enable_work device-managed with devm_work_autocancel(), registered before the PMIC GLINK client is allocated. The devres cleanup then releases the client first, so no further notification can queue the work, and cancels the work before battmgr is freed. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: twl4030_charger: cancel workers via devm bci is devm-allocated. Two workers (bci->work and bci->current_worker) dereference it. twl4030_bci_remove() disables charging and masks interrupts. It cancels neither worker. A worker pending at remove() can run after devm frees bci. The USB transceiver comes from devm_usb_get_phy_by_node(). devm unregisters its notifier only after remove() returns. A cancel_work_sync() in remove() can then race a notifier reschedule. devm_work_autocancel() and devm_delayed_work_autocancel() avoid that. They cancel the workers during devm release, before bci is freed. The current_worker is registered first, since devm will cancel in reverse order and bci->work can reschedule current_worker. [Move comment about order into the commit message]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: ucs1002: fix use-after-free on remove ucs1002 has no remove callback, so unbind runs entirely through devm. The alert IRQ handler queues the health_poll delayed work, and the work reschedules itself while the chip reports a bad-health condition. devm frees the alert IRQ, which only synchronizes the handler; it does not cancel the delayed work, which can then run after devm frees the driver data and dereference it. Register health_poll with devm_delayed_work_autocancel() before the alert IRQ is requested. devm then frees the IRQ before cancelling the work, so the handler can no longer queue it and the work is cancelled before the driver data is freed. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: max17040: propagate register read errors max17040_get_vcell() and max17040_get_soc() ignore errors returned by regmap_read(). When an I2C transfer fails, the uninitialized register value is converted and reported to userspace as a valid voltage or state of charge. The polling worker can also replace the cached state of charge with the bogus value and emit a spurious change event. Propagate read errors through the power supply get_property callback and keep the last valid cached state of charge when polling fails.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: max17040: synchronize work cancellation on suspend max17040_work() requeues itself after every poll. cancel_delayed_work() only cancels a pending instance and does not wait for a callback that is already running. If system suspend races with the polling callback, the callback can continue accessing the fuel gauge and requeue itself after the suspend callback returns. Use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure polling is quiesced before suspend completes.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/cpum_cf: Handle CPU hotplug via prepare/dead callbacks The command 'perf stat -e cycles -- <command>' crashes the kernel when CPUs are hotplug added during that run. Root cause is the allocation of struct cpu_cf_events at first event initialization. The allocation is dynamic and the first event that has task context creates such a structure for each online CPU. This is not sufficient. CPUs may be offline during event creation and can be set online during the perf run time. For example commands # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf stat -e cycles -i -- stress-ng -t10s --matrix X # sleep 1 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online create an event for CPUs 0,2-X. Since the events are created with task-context, the scheduler will eventually schedule the program on CPU1. This CPU has not created and initialized any per CPU event infrastructure as that CPU was not online at the time of the perf invocation. Thus when the scheduler runs stress-ng on CPU1, the function cpumf_pmu_add() refers to a NULL pointer: struct cpu_cf_events *cpuhw = this_cpu_cfhw(); This function call is invoked after the task stress-ng has been made runnable on CPU1.

The scheduler enables the CPUMF infrastructure via PMU callback functions pmu::add() and pmu::del(). Introduce a CPU hotplug prepare/dead callback pair which creates and removes the per CPU counter data while the CPU is offline. Count the users which track every CPU (cpu == -1), that is perf_event_open() events with task context and /dev/hwctr device sessions, in the new counter cpu_cf_root::tskcnt, protected by pmc_reserve_mutex. This ensures the infrastructure is available when new CPU is selected to run the per-task context process. In cpum_cf_free_root() and cpum_cf_free_cpu() ensure the reference pointer to data structures is set to NULL before the data is freed to prevent interrupt handlers to access stale data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/dasd: Do not complete a failed ESE read as successful dasd_int_handler() completes an NRF read of an unallocated ESE track by calling ese_read() and unconditionally marking the request DASD_CQR_SUCCESS. dasd_eckd_ese_read() can return an error before it has zeroed the destination buffer: a failed sense-data parse or a current track outside the requested range both return early, leaving the destination pages untouched. The request is still completed successfully, so the block layer is handed stale / uninitialized memory instead of zeros. Check the ese_read() return value and fail the request through the normal error path instead of forcing DASD_CQR_SUCCESS.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/dasd: Guard sysfs discipline callbacks against unallocated private data Several sysfs show/store handlers call a discipline callback that dereferences device->private, either directly or through the DASD_DEFINE_ATTR() macro. During dasd_generic_set_online() the discipline is assigned before check_device() allocates device->private, so an unprivileged read of one of these world-readable attributes in that window dereferences a NULL pointer and panics. Guard the dereference inside each callback that actually touches device->private.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: plda: Fix use-after-free of event IRQs during teardown plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit() removes pcie->event_domain via irq_domain_remove(), but the per-event IRQs mapped from that domain are requested with devm_request_irq() in plda_init_interrupts(). The actual free_irq() for a devm-managed IRQ is deferred by devres until after the calling probe()/remove() function returns. This means irq_domain_remove() can free the domain's internal data before the deferred free_irq() for IRQs still mapped into it has run. When devres later processes that deferred cleanup, it can end up dereferencing the already-freed domain. Free each event IRQ explicitly with devm_free_irq() before removing the domain. This triggers the free immediately and removes the IRQ from the devres tracking list, so devres will not attempt to free it a second time later. Also dispose of the event, INTx, and MSI IRQ mappings with irq_dispose_mapping() before their owning domains are removed. Finally, guard the calls to irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() for pcie->irq, pcie->msi_irq, and pcie->intx_irq so they only run when those fields hold a valid (>0) IRQ number. This is a pre-existing issue, flagged by automated review during work on an earlier, unrelated patch to this driver. Build-tested and boot-tested on StarFive VisionFive v1.2A board

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: plda: Fix IRQ domain leaks in the error paths of plda_init_interrupts() plda_init_interrupts() initializes IRQ domains and creates IRQ mapping but does not unwind them when later step fails. If platform_get_irq() or either irq_create_mapping() fails in plda_init_interrupts(), the domains are never deinitialized. If irq_create_mapping() fails, port->intx_irq stays initialized. Hence, remove the IRQ domains in the error path by calling plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit(). Since plda_pcie_irq_domain_deinit() now disposes of the intx_irq and msi_irq mappings itself before removing their domains, the msi_irq mapping failure path can go directly to err_irq_domain_deinit instead of disposing of port->intx_irq separately first. This issue was found by automated review of sashiko-bot [mani: commit log]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/amd: Put PCI device after handling PPR faults iommu_call_iopf_notifier() looks up the requester with pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(), which returns a PCI device with its reference count incremented. Neither the successful iommu_report_device_fault() path nor the abort path drops that reference, so every handled PPR request leaks a PCI device reference. This is the same ownership rule that was fixed for the old iommu_v2 ppr_notifier() path by commit 6cf0981c2233 ("iommu/amd: Fix pci device refcount leak in ppr_notifier()"), but iommu_call_iopf_notifier() was added later as a separate PPR/IOPF notifier path. Drop the PCI device reference after handling the PPR entry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/sva: Set handle->dev before the SVA handle is visible iommu_attach_device_pasid() installs the new SVA attach handle in the group PASID lookup before iommu_sva_bind_device() returns. A concurrent bind can therefore find and reuse the same handle after iommu_sva_lock is dropped. handle->dev was initialized after dropping iommu_sva_lock. This leaves a window where a racing bind can return a handle whose dev pointer is still NULL. A subsequent iommu_sva_unbind_device() can then dereference it via handle->dev->iommu_group. Initialize handle->dev before releasing iommu_sva_lock so any visible SVA handle is fully initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu: Fix dev_iommu memory leak when device_add fails in iommu_mock_device_add iommu_mock_device_add() first calls iommu_fwspec_init(), which on success allocates both dev->iommu (via dev_iommu_get()) and dev->iommu->fwspec. If the subsequent device_add(dev) call fails, the error path only calls iommu_fwspec_free(dev), which frees fwspec but leaves dev->iommu still allocated. This triggers the following kmemleak report when fuzzing with Syzkaller: BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff888011e0a200 (size 192): comm "syz.1.1695", pid 24885, jiffies 4295222527 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de .............N.. ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................ backtrace (crc 25df5bb3): kmemleak_alloc_recursive include/linux/kmemleak.h:44 [inline] slab_post_alloc_hook mm/slub.c:4575 [inline] slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:4899 [inline] __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x47a/0x710 mm/slub.c:5415 kmalloc_noprof include/linux/slab.h:950 [inline] kzalloc_noprof include/linux/slab.h:1188 [inline] dev_iommu_get+0x10c/0x1a0 drivers/iommu/iommu.c:408 iommu_fwspec_init+0x288/0x4d0 drivers/iommu/iommu.c:3087 iommu_mock_device_add+0x46/0xb0 drivers/iommu/iommu.c:385 mock_dev_create drivers/iommu/iommufd/selftest.c:1025 [inline] iommufd_test_mock_domain drivers/iommu/iommufd/selftest.c:1066 [inline] iommufd_test+0x2f8a/0x6190 drivers/iommu/iommufd/selftest.c:2072 iommufd_fops_ioctl+0x367/0x540 drivers/iommu/iommufd/main.c:533 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:597 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:583 [inline] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x18e/0x210 fs/ioctl.c:583 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x116/0x800 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Fix this by calling dev_iommu_free(dev) instead of iommu_fwspec_free(dev) in the device_add() failure path. dev_iommu_free() frees both fwspec and the outer dev_iommu struct and clears dev->iommu.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Avoid locking internal accesses during unmap iommufd_access_notify_unmap() skips internal accesses because they do not have an external unmap callback to invoke. However, the current test calls iommufd_lock_obj() before checking whether the access is internal. If iommufd_lock_obj() succeeds, the loop then sees the internal access and continues, bypassing the matching iommufd_put_object() used by the normal unmap path. This leaks the object reference taken by iommufd_lock_obj(). Check for internal accesses first so skipped entries are never locked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Release current IOAS on xa_store() failure iommufd_take_all_iova_rwsem() takes an object reference and the iova_rwsem write lock before storing the IOAS in the temporary ioas_list xarray. If xa_store() fails, the current IOAS has not been inserted into ioas_list yet. iommufd_release_all_iova_rwsem() only unwinds IOAS objects already present in that xarray, so it cannot release the current IOAS. Release the current IOAS rwsem and object reference before unwinding the previously stored entries.

This can expose the plaintext admin password in the kernel log. The same issue was fixed for the password attribute path by commit d1a196e0a6dc ("platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Don't hex dump plaintext password data").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix heap OOB read in sk_store() and kek_store() sk_store() and kek_store() strip a trailing newline from the sysfs write before allocating the key buffer: length = count; if (buf[length - 1] == '\n') length--; bioscfg_drv.spm_data.signing_key = kmemdup(buf, length, GFP_KERNEL); but then pass the original "count" (not "length") as the copy size to hp_wmi_perform_query(), which memcpy()s that many bytes out of the "length"-sized allocation, reading one byte past it whenever the write ends in a newline, the normal case for a shell "echo" into sysfs. KASAN confirms this directly: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hp_wmi_perform_query+0x1e9/0x460 [hp_bioscfg] Read of size 28 at addr ffff88813c8e2b80 by task python3/16022 ... sk_store+0xa7/0x240 [hp_bioscfg] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x3e1/0x5d0 ...

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix heap OOB read on empty password write validate_password_input() computes length = strlen(buf) and then checks buf[length - 1] to strip a trailing newline, without checking that length is nonzero first. Writing an empty string (a bare '\n') to current_password or new_password gives length == 0, and buf[length - 1] reads buf[-1], one byte before the heap allocation holding the copied input. KASAN confirms this directly: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in store_password_instance.constprop.0+0x223/0x2a0 [hp_bioscfg] Read of size 1 at addr ffff88811bd8da9f by task sh/13740 ... store_password_instance.constprop.0+0x223/0x2a0 [hp_bioscfg] current_password_store+0x14/0x20 [hp_bioscfg] ... The buggy address is located 23 bytes to the right of allocated 8-byte region [ffff88811bd8da80, ffff88811bd8da88) Reproduced identically via new_password_store. Execution continues past the bad read (the garbage byte only affects whether "length" is decremented by one), so the write completes and returns success; this is a pure information read past the buffer, not a crash, but it is still an out-of-bounds access KASAN correctly flags. Fix by only checking buf[length - 1] when length is nonzero.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/query: cap user size passed to copy_struct_to_user io_handle_query_entry() clamps hdr.size for the inbound copy_from_user() but keeps the original user value as usize. copy_struct_to_user() uses that usize and, when it is larger than the kernel result, clear_user()s the trailing bytes. As hdr.size is a __u32, a query can request nearly 4 GiB of zeroing, including on the error path where res_size stays 0. The interface is reachable without a ring via IORING_REGISTER_QUERY. Reject sizes larger than PAGE_SIZE, as recommended for copy_struct_* interfaces.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipmi: si: Fix NULL pointer dereference after failed registration try_smi_init() allocates new_smi->si_sm and later calls ipmi_register_smi_mod(), which maps to ipmi_add_smi(). During ipmi_add_smi(), the upper IPMI message handler obtains the initial BMC device information through __bmc_get_device_id(). This can fail if the BMC does not return a successful response to the Get Device ID command. When the BMC returns a nonzero completion code, the device-id helper retries the command and eventually returns -EIO if the device ID still cannot be fetched. On this failure path, ipmi_add_smi() logs "Unable to get the device id" and goes to out_err_started, where it invokes the lower driver's shutdown callback. try_smi_init() then logs the returned registration failure: ipmi_si IPI0001:00: IPMI message handler: Unable to get the device id: -5 ipmi_si IPI0001:00: Unable to register device: error -5 For ipmi_si, the shutdown callback is shutdown_smi(), which cleans up the SI state machine data, frees smi_info->si_sm, and sets smi_info->si_sm and smi_info->intf to NULL. However, intf->in_shutdown is not set on this failed-registration rollback path. Therefore, the asynchronous redo_bmc_reg work item can still retry BMC device-id probing after the lower driver has already cleared its SI state machine data. In the observed case, that retry path reached start_next_msg(), which passed the NULL smi_info->si_sm pointer to the selected KCS state machine handler: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 Workqueue: events redo_bmc_reg [ipmi_msghandler] RIP: start_kcs_transaction+0x2c/0x190 [ipmi_si] Call Trace: start_next_msg+0x50/0x80 [ipmi_si] check_start_timer_thread.part.9+0x3b/0x50 [ipmi_si] sender+0x69/0x80 [ipmi_si] i_ipmi_request+0x2ac/0x9d0 [ipmi_msghandler] __get_device_id.isra.29+0xaa/0x180 [ipmi_msghandler] __bmc_get_device_id+0xef/0x950 [ipmi_msghandler] redo_bmc_reg+0x52/0x60 [ipmi_msghandler] process_one_work+0x1a7/0x360 Set intf->in_shutdown on the out_err_started path before invoking the lower driver's shutdown callback.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dsa: realtek: use gpiod_set_value_cansleep for reset GPIO rtl83xx_reset_assert() and rtl83xx_reset_deassert() are only called from the probe path, which may sleep and is not timing-critical. When the reset GPIO is provided by a sleeping controller such as an I2C I/O expander, gpiod_set_value() warns: WARNING: drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:4030 at gpiod_set_value+0x44/0x80, CPU#1: kworker/u16:4/61 Hardware name: B&O MAP CA33 Rev f (UNKNOWN) (DT) Workqueue: events_unbound deferred_probe_work_func pc : gpiod_set_value+0x44/0x80 lr : rtl83xx_probe+0x1d8/0x3a0 Call trace: gpiod_set_value+0x44/0x80 (P) rtl83xx_probe+0x1d8/0x3a0 realtek_mdio_probe+0x24/0xa0 mdio_probe+0x38/0x78 really_probe+0xc4/0x3e0 __driver_probe_device+0x15c/0x1b8 driver_probe_device+0xb4/0x120 __device_attach_driver+0xb8/0x1a0 bus_for_each_drv+0x88/0xf0 __device_attach+0xa0/0x1d8 device_initial_probe+0x54/0x68 bus_probe_device+0x38/0xa0 deferred_probe_work_func+0xb8/0x120 process_one_work+0x184/0x4e8 worker_thread+0x188/0x308 kthread+0x130/0x150 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Switch both helpers to gpiod_set_value_cansleep() so such a reset GPIO can be used without triggering the warning. The reset GPIO has been driven with the non-sleeping gpiod_set_value() since the driver was added in v4.19. The call has since been refactored across several files - from realtek-smi.c / realtek-mdio.c into the common rtl83xx.c module and then into the rtl83xx_reset_assert() and rtl83xx_reset_deassert() helpers (both in v6.9). This patch therefore applies as-is only to kernels that carry those helpers (v6.9+); older stable kernels need the same gpiod_set_value_cansleep() conversion at the corresponding open-coded call sites.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: l2tp: do not propagate multicast notification errors The tunnel create, tunnel modify, session create, and session modify netlink handlers send multicast notifications through helpers that can fail while allocating or encoding a message, or while multicasting it. For tunnel and session create/modify, a notification is sent after the live operation has completed. Returning a best-effort notification error as the command result can therefore report failure for an operation that already committed and can cause callers to retry and accumulate live objects. Keep sending notifications for listener visibility, but do not propagate their best-effort status as the command result. This also keeps the tunnel modify command consistent with the other notification-only paths.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: phylink: correctly validate returned PCS in phylink_inband_caps In phylink_inband_caps(), the PCS returned by mac_select_pcs is only checked if NULL but mac_select_pcs can also return an error pointer. This can cause a kernel panic as phylink_pcs_inband_caps() only checks if passed PCS is not NULL and directly dereference ops from the phylink_pcs struct. Use the IS_ERR_OR_NULL macro to address both case where the returned PCS can be NULL or an error pointer and prevent a kernel panic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: thunderbolt: Release the Rx HopID that was handed out on mismatch tb_xdomain_alloc_in_hopid() passes the wanted HopID to ida_alloc_range() as the lower bound, so a taken id is not an error there: the allocator returns the next free one above it. tbnet_connected_work() asks for the peer's transmit path, treats any other id as a failure and returns without releasing what it got, so that allocation stays live for the rest of the XDomain connection with nothing left holding a reference to it. Release the id when it is not the one we asked for, the same way the error unwind at the end of the function releases the expected one.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NTB: ntb_transport: Fail TX enqueue when the QP link is down Commit f195a1a6fe41 ("ntb: Drop packets when qp link is down") meant to make ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() drop packets submitted while the QP link is down, but it only returns 0 without consuming the packet. Zero means success by this function's contract, so ntb_netdev reports NETDEV_TX_OK and forgets the skb: nothing queued it, nothing frees it, and it leaks, one skb for every transmit racing a link-down. Return -ENOLINK instead, restoring the contract that a non-zero return leaves the buffer owned by the caller. With the preceding patch, ntb_netdev frees the skb on non-retryable enqueue failures and returns NETDEV_TX_OK, so a packet racing with link-down is dropped without leaking or entering a busy retry loop.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: do not dereference an unset send buffer on the SMC-D teardown path smc_close_stream_wait() calls smc_tx_prepared_sends() from inside its sk_wait_event() condition, and sk_wait_event() evaluates that condition once with the socket lock released. smcd_buf_detach() clears conn->sndbuf_desc from smc_conn_kill() under lock_sock(), so a link group terminating while a socket waits there leaves the helper dereferencing NULL, faulting out of close(). SIOCOUTQ reads the field by hand, and smc_close_cancel_work() drops the lock across two cancel_*_sync() calls. Sample the pointer once in the helper, report nothing prepared while it is unset, and bound the ioctl the same way. The receive tasklet dereferences the field directly in smc_cdc_msg_recv_action(), not through this helper; 1/2 is what keeps it from running that late.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: fix socket refcount leak in smc_switch_conns() smc_switch_conns() takes a reference on the SMC socket before dropping lgr->conns_lock, so the connection stays alive while the CDC slot is fetched: sock_hold(&smc->sk); read_unlock_bh(&lgr->conns_lock); /* pre-fetch buffer outside of send_lock, might sleep */ rc = smc_cdc_get_free_slot(conn, to_lnk, &wr_buf, NULL, &pend); if (rc) goto err_out; The err_out label only drops the wr_tx link reference, so this early exit returns without the matching sock_put(). The second error exit is not affected, because sock_put() has already run by then. A leaked sk_refcnt means the smc_sock is never destroyed. Its send and receive buffers stay allocated, and for a user socket the reference held on the network namespace is never released, so the netns can no longer be torn down. smc_cdc_get_free_slot() fails when the target link goes down or when the connection has been killed while the switch is in progress. Both are reachable during the link failover this function implements, so the leak is triggered by the same hardware events that make smc_switch_conns() run in the first place. Restructure so there is a single sock_put() covering both outcomes, instead of adding a second one to the error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: 6fire: bound the MIDI event length from the device usb6fire_comm_receiver_handler() forwards a MIDI event using a length byte the device supplies, with no bound and no check that the transfer delivered that many bytes: if (!urb->status) { if (rt->receiver_buffer[0] == 0x10) /* midi in event */ if (midi_rt) midi_rt->in_received(midi_rt, rt->receiver_buffer + 2, rt->receiver_buffer[1]); } receiver_buffer is a 64-byte kzalloc() buffer (COMM_RECEIVER_BUFSIZE), so only 62 bytes follow the two-byte header. receiver_buffer[1] is a u8 the device chooses, so a device that answers with 0x10 and a length of 0xFF makes snd_rawmidi_receive() read 255 bytes starting two bytes into a 64-byte object. The bytes past the buffer are handed to userspace through the rawmidi read path. urb->actual_length is not consulted either, so a short transfer leaves both the type byte and the length byte at their previous values and the handler acts on stale data. The receiver URB is submitted from usb6fire_comm_init() at probe, so the read happens on plug with no user action; forwarding to userspace also needs a MIDI input substream open, since usb6fire_midi_in_received() only calls snd_rawmidi_receive() when rt->in is set.

It's OK for the devices the driver itself creates at the module probe time, but if the device is bound manually via sysfs interface, this could be -1 as "none", and this leads to OOB access for index[] and other parameters. Add a sanity check for the card index and warn/correct it if it's a value out of the range.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: FCP: do not copy out an uninitialised init response fcp_ioctl_init() allocates its response buffer with kmalloc() and copies the whole buffer back to userspace: buf_size = init.step0_resp_size + init.step2_resp_size; void *resp __free(kfree) = kmalloc(buf_size, GFP_KERNEL); ... if (copy_to_user(arg->resp, resp, buf_size)) return -EFAULT; Nothing clears the buffer, and the only writer of its leading step0_resp_size bytes is the step-0 control transfer: err = snd_usb_ctl_msg(dev, usb_rcvctrlpipe(dev, 0), FCP_USB_REQ_STEP0, USB_RECIP_INTERFACE | USB_TYPE_CLASS | USB_DIR_IN, 0, private->bInterfaceNumber, step0_resp, private->step0_resp_size); if (err < 0) return err; usb_fill_control_urb() does not set URB_SHORT_NOT_OK, so a short or zero-length data stage completes with status 0 and snd_usb_ctl_msg() returns a small actual_length. The only check is err < 0, so a short transfer is accepted as success. snd_usb_ctl_msg() copies the full size back unconditionally: buf = kmemdup(data, size, GFP_KERNEL); ... memcpy(data, buf, size); Bytes the device never wrote are therefore restored into resp unchanged and copied to userspace. step0_resp_size and step2_resp_size are each validated only to 1..255, so the caller also picks the slab cache, from kmalloc-8 up to kmalloc-512. On 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64), device answering step 0 with a zero-length data stage, s0 = s2 = 255: # init_on_alloc off, no spray step0 window [0,255): nonzero=94/255 000: 00 80 60 06 00 00 ff ff 18 00 00 00 57 01 ea 01 010: 08 78 22 13 00 00 ff ff a8 c4 5f 80 00 80 ff ff # same kernel, kmalloc-512 pre-seeded with an 8-byte tag step0 window [0,255): nonzero=219/255 tagbytes=232 # identical run, init_on_alloc=1 step0 window [0,255): nonzero=0/255 tagbytes=0 # all three runs step2 window [255,510): device words matched=62/62 a8 c4 5f 80 00 80 ff ff is the little-endian kernel text address ffff8000805fc4a8. The step-2 window is unaffected, so the disclosure is exactly the step-0 region. Zero the buffer, and require the step-0 transfer to deliver the full step0_resp_size bytes so a short data stage is reported as an error. Discovered by XBOW, triaged by Baul Lee <baul.lee@xbow.com>

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-stats: fix a crash if allocation of per-cpu data fails If "dm_kvzalloc(percpu_alloc_size, cpu_to_node(cpu))" fails, the code jumps to the "out" label and calls dm_stat_free. dm_stat_free does "for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { dm_kvfree(s->stat_percpu[cpu][0].histogram, s->histogram_alloc_size);", which crashes with NULL pointer dereference if s->stat_percpu[cpu] is NULL. This commit fixes the bug by testing s->stat_percpu[cpu] for NULL before using it.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-pcache: validate on-media seg_num against the cache device size seg_num is read from the crc32c-only superblock, so whoever supplies the cache device on a table load (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) controls it. It sizes cache->segments[] and is the value every later on-media segment id is bounded against, yet it is never checked against the device. Because cache_dev->mapping is the direct map of the pmem, CACHE_DEV_SEGMENT() for a segment id past the device resolves to ordinary kernel memory beyond the mapping; a new-cache init reaching such an id has cache_seg_init() -> cache_dev_zero_range() memset() 12 KiB over that memory -- an out-of-bounds write into the kernel heap at table load. A zero seg_num makes the segment allocations ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Reject a seg_num that is zero, larger than the device can hold, or larger than PCACHE_CACHE_SEGS_MAX before it is used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-pcache: detect a cycle in the last-kset chain during replay cache_replay() follows the on-media last-kset chain by next_cache_seg_id with no cond_resched(). A forged chain that points back into a segment it has already visited makes the replay loop follow it forever. Cap the last-kset hops at cache->n_segs; a valid chain visits each segment at most once.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-pcache: only hand out initialized cache segments get_cache_segment() scans the segment map up to cache->n_segs, the physical device segment count, but cache_segs_init() only initializes the first cache_info->n_segs segments. A crafted image with cache_info->n_segs smaller than the device count leaves the remaining pcache_cache_segment structs zeroed (segment.data == NULL), and the allocator can hand one to cache_kset_close(), which writes through the returned segment's data pointer with no NULL check. Bound the allocator's search to cache_info->n_segs so only initialized segments are ever returned. A conforming cache sets n_segs equal to the device segment count, so this rejects nothing legitimate.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: master: svc: bound IBI payload to the requested max_payload_len svc_i3c_master_handle_ibi() reads the IBI payload from the RX FIFO into the IBI slot. The loop is bounded by the hardware FIFO size (SVC_I3C_FIFO_SIZE), not by the slot size. slot->data points into the IBI pool, which i3c_generic_ibi_alloc_pool() sizes at max_payload_len per slot. svc_i3c_master_request_ibi() only rejects a max_payload_len larger than SVC_I3C_FIFO_SIZE, so a driver can request a smaller one. mctp-i3c requests 1. Each readsb() then copies the controller RXCOUNT bytes (up to 31) with no check against the slot size. A device that sends more bytes than the slot holds writes past slot->data, an out-of-bounds write into the IBI pool. Bound the loop by dev->ibi->max_payload_len and clamp each read to the space left in the slot, the same way dw-i3c does. A device can still send more than the requested payload. Flush the leftover bytes from the RX FIFO so they do not leak into the next transfer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: dvm: fix memory leak in iwl_op_mode_dvm_start() In iwl_op_mode_dvm_start(), jumping to out_free_eeprom currently bypasses the out_free_eeprom_blob label. Consequently, error paths triggered after successfully parsing the EEPROM free priv->nvm_data but leak priv->eeprom_blob. Fix this memory leak by reordering the error handling labels so that out_free_eeprom falls through to out_free_eeprom_blob. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc6. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have supported Intel DVM wireless hardware and firmware to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: copy request headers via a stack buffer for io-uring The fuse-io-uring transport copies req->in.h out to the ring in fuse_uring_copy_to_ring() and req->out.h back in fuse_uring_commit(). Both headers live inside the fuse_request slab object, whose cache (fuse_req_cachep) is created without a usercopy whitelist, so copying them directly to/from userspace trips CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY and panics: usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'fuse_request' (offset 56, size 40)! kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw88: Fix potential memory leak in rtw_txq_push_skb() The skb passed to the rtw_hci_tx_write() is expected to be freed when the function fails, but the error path in rtw_txq_push_skb() does not free the skb before returning. This can lead to a memory leak in rtw_txq_push() where a dequeued skb is passed to rtw_txq_push_skb().

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw88: pci: fix resource leak on failed NAPI setup rtw_pci_probe() allocates PCI resources through rtw_pci_setup_resource() before it sets up NAPI. If rtw_pci_napi_init() fails, the error path jumps straight to err_pci_declaim and skips rtw_pci_destroy(), leaving the PCI resources allocated by rtw_pci_setup_resource() behind. Add a dedicated cleanup label for the NAPI setup failure path so probe destroys the PCI resources. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing current mainline kernels. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc7. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have a suitable rtw88 PCI board to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: pci: add .shutdown callback to stop rfkill polling on reboot Since the hardware rfkill polling was introduced, arm64 platforms can panic with an asynchronous SError during warm reboot: SError Interrupt on CPU8, code 0x00000000be000011 -- SError Workqueue: events_power_efficient rfkill_poll [rfkill] rtw89_pci_ops_read8+0x94/0x160 [rtw89_pci] rtw89_core_rfkill_poll+0x50/0x1e0 [rtw89_core] rtw89_ops_rfkill_poll+0x40/0x68 [rtw89_core] ieee80211_rfkill_poll+0x3c/0x70 [mac80211] cfg80211_rfkill_poll+0x40/0x2a0 [cfg80211] rfkill_poll+0x30/0x88 [rfkill] Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt On the reboot path the kernel only runs device_shutdown(), which calls each driver's .shutdown callback; .remove is not invoked. The rtw89 PCI driver had no .shutdown callback, so nothing stopped the rfkill polling work while the platform was tearing the PCIe link down. Once the link is gone, the next MMIO read from the poll handler targets a non-responding device and is reported as a fatal asynchronous SError on arm64. Add rtw89_pci_shutdown(), wired to all rtw89 PCI device drivers, which sets a new RTW89_FLAG_SHUTDOWN flag (mirroring the USB RTW89_FLAG_UNPLUGGED pattern). When the flag is set, rtw89_ops_rfkill_poll() returns early, so no MMIO read is issued to the chip after shutdown begins and the SError no longer occurs. This does not call the full .remove path from .shutdown, to keep the shutdown handler minimal and avoid running the non-idempotent teardown twice.

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7615: avoid waiting for mac work under the mt76 mutex mt7615_suspend() acquired the mt76 mutex and then called cancel_delayed_work_sync() on mac_work. mt7615_mac_work() acquires the same mutex via mt7615_mutex_acquire() at the top of the worker, so if mac_work is already running and blocked on the mutex, the suspend path deadlocks waiting for the work it holds the mutex against. Flush scan_work and mac_work before taking the mutex, matching the suspend paths in mt7921 and mt7925. scan_work only takes the mt76 spinlock, but moving it keeps the sequence consistent. This also keeps mac_work from running over an already suspended HIF, which the previous split (async cancel under the lock, sync cancel after release) would have allowed.
