    CVE-2026-98640

    Last Modified: 22 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: amd_sfh: Validate PCI BAR size before mapping The amd_sfh driver maps PCI BAR 2 using pcim_iomap_regions() and subsequently accesses MMIO registers at offsets up to 0x10958 (e.g., AMD_P2C_MSG3 at 0x1068C). However, the driver never validates that the BAR size is large enough to cover these accesses. If the driver is bound to a device with a smaller BAR 2, this leads to an out-of-bounds memory access and a page fault during the probe function. For example, a page fault can occur when reading from privdata->mmio + AMD_P2C_MSG3 in mp2_select_ops(): BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000390368c PGD 100000067 P4D 100000067 PUD 1012c1067 PMD 105b64067 PTE 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI RIP: 0010:readl arch/x86/include/asm/io.h:59 [inline] RIP: 0010:mp2_select_ops drivers/hid/amd-sfh-hid/amd_sfh_pcie.c:282 [inline] RIP: 0010:amd_mp2_pci_probe+0x337/0x5f0 drivers/hid/amd-sfh-hid/amd_sfh_pcie.c:487 Call Trace: <TASK> local_pci_probe drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:332 [inline] pci_call_probe drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:394 [inline] __pci_device_probe drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:455 [inline] pci_device_probe+0x431/0xc90 drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:489 Fix this by verifying that the length of BAR 2 is at least 128KB before attempting to map it. Since the maximum accessed offset is 0x10958, and PCI BAR sizes are powers of 2, any legitimate hardware will have a BAR size of at least 128KB.

    CVE-2026-98627

    Last Modified: 22 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Preserve packet pointer class displacement in regsafe() regsafe() maps packet pointer IDs between states and checks that each current register range is a subset of the corresponding explored register range. It does not, however, preserve the displacement between registers that share a packet pointer ID. This is unsound because packet range is shared by ID. A bounds check on one class member updates every member, and a later access can consume the range through another member. Commit 022ac0750883 ("bpf: use reg->var_off instead of reg->off for pointers") folded the fixed pointer offset into r64 and removed the old off equality check, so two individually narrower registers can prune even when their displacement has changed. The explored path can then license an out-of-bounds packet access on the pruned path. Require matching range bases for packet pointers with an ID. Together with the existing ID mapping, this preserves the displacement between members of each packet-pointer class without adding per-ID state. Packet pointers without an ID remain unaffected.

    Last Modified: 22 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: flowtable: publish HW_DEAD after worker is done flow_offload_work_del() sets NF_FLOW_HW_DEAD before the work handler clears NF_FLOW_HW_PENDING. Once a flow is both HW_DYING and HW_DEAD, a concurrent garbage collection pass can remove it and schedule it for RCU freeing. The offload worker holds neither an RCU read lock nor a reference to the flow. If it is preempted after publishing HW_DEAD, the RCU callback can free the flow before the worker resumes and clears HW_PENDING, resulting in a use-after-free. Move HW_DEAD publication to the common worker epilogue after the pending bit is cleared, making it the final flow access by destroy work. Order all preceding flow accesses before publishing the bit that allows garbage collection to free the object.

    CVE-2026-98619

    Last Modified: 22 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethtool: keep rtnl_lock for the ioctl self test An offline self test that brings the interface down and back up with netif_close() / netif_open() requires rtnl_lock for both. Since the ethtool IOCTL path became rtnl-optional for ops-locked drivers, the ETHTOOL_TEST ioctl runs holding only the netdev instance lock, so on an ops-locked driver the self test now tears the device down without rtnl_lock. With lockdep this reproduces deterministically on every offline self test on such a driver; note the sole lock held is the instance lock, not rtnl: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage net/core/netpoll.c:207 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage! 1 lock held by ethtool/107: #0: (&dev->lock){+.+.}, at: dev_ethtool Call Trace: netpoll_poll_disable __dev_close_many netif_close_many netif_close fbnic_self_test dev_ethtool_locked dev_ethtool dev_ioctl sock_ioctl __x64_sys_ioctl Without lockdep the same condition trips ASSERT_RTNL() in __dev_close_many() / __dev_open(); that check only samples the global rtnl state, so it can be masked by a concurrent rtnl holder, but the device is still being reconfigured without the lock it requires. The ethtool self_test is a legacy ioctl-only command, so an ETHTOOL_TEST case is only needed on the ioctl path. Add an opt-in bit for drivers whose self test needs rtnl_lock and set it on the ops-locked drivers whose offline self test tears the interface down and up: - fbnic (ops-locked via queue_mgmt_ops): fbnic_self_test() offline path uses netif_close() / netif_open(). - bnxt (ops-locked via queue_mgmt_ops): bnxt_self_test() offline path goes through bnxt_close_nic() / bnxt_half_open_nic() / bnxt_half_close_nic() / bnxt_open_nic(), which close and reopen the device.

    CVE-2026-98613

    Last Modified: 22 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Bound ownership depth through local kptrs and graph roots Program-allocated objects can own other local objects through referenced kptrs. bpf_obj_free_fields() follows those pointers through __bpf_obj_drop_impl() synchronously, before the object storage is freed through RCU. A self-referential local kptr type therefore permits arbitrarily deep object chains, and dropping the head can exhaust the kernel stack. Long acyclic type chains have the same problem. btf_check_and_fixup_fields() still assumes referenced kptrs only point to kernel types and checks ownership through list and rbtree roots only. Its existing rule is sufficient for graph-only cycles: the target of each graph edge must contain a node, so every type in a cycle has both a root and a node. The rule rejects such a type owning another root, breaking every cycle. It also limits graph-only chains to three types, or two if the first type contains a node, and conservatively rejects longer acyclic chains. The missing local-kptr edges, rather than a missed graph-only cycle, are the bug introduced by support for bpf_kptr_xchg() into local kptrs. Replace that restriction with one bounded ownership walk covering graph roots and local referenced kptrs. Run it after all BTF records have been fixed up, reject cycles and paths deeper than eight record-bearing types, and cache each type's suffix depth while checking it against the remaining budget. This also permits the longer acyclic graph-only layouts rejected by the old rule; update their existing BTF tests accordingly. Keep the bound independent of MAX_CALL_FRAMES because recursive destruction can run below a BPF call chain. A plain local pointee without special-field metadata adds only a final non-recursing drop. Non-owning kptrs and kernel-BTF kptrs do not recurse through local records and remain outside the walk. Include local percpu-kptr edges too, although allocation of percpu objects with special fields is currently forbidden, so that relaxing that restriction cannot bypass the ownership bound. btf_check_and_fixup_fields() continues to initialize graph_root.value_rec, including for separately allocated map records. The ownership relationships belong to immutable program BTF and only need validation at BTF load time.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: fix sdreq TLV list leak on parse/alloc/send failure nfc_genl_llc_sdreq() builds a list of TLV nodes while walking nested netlink attrs, but 3 error paths (nested-attr parse failure, TLV alloc ENOMEM, nfc_llcp_send_snl_sdreq() failure) all skip freeing what was already queued. Route them through a new free_list label, mirroring the SDRES path in the same file which already does this. Harmless on the success path too -- send_snl_sdreq() drains the list as it moves nodes, so it's already empty by the time free_list runs.

    CVE-2026-98580

    Last Modified: 20 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: Fix race condition in accept_queue lifecycle In nfc_llcp_socket_release(), sockets and listener accept queues are walked under the local sockets rwlock and bh_lock_sock(). However, bh_lock_sock() does not synchronise against process-context lock_sock() held by nfc_llcp_accept_dequeue() during accept(). Because socket_release() does not check sock_owned_by_user(), both paths can concurrently unlink and release the same child socket, resulting in use-after-free or a NULL pointer dereference of child->parent in nfc_llcp_accept_unlink(). Fix this synchronisation race by having nfc_llcp_socket_release() use process-context lock_sock() instead of bh_lock_sock(): 1. Pop sockets from the local sockets list under the write lock using nfc_llcp_sock_list_pop() so lock_sock() can be acquired without holding the rwlock. 2. Because lock_sock() can sleep, defer the final release of the nfc_llcp_local structure to a workqueue (release_work). This avoids a sleeping-in-atomic bug when the last local reference is dropped from softirq context. Additionally, hold a single device reference on local from registration until final destruction. 3. In nfc_llcp_local_get(), use kref_get_unless_zero() to prevent resurrecting a local object whose teardown has been scheduled. 4. In llcp_sock_accept(), verify that the listener socket state is still LLCP_LISTEN after waking from schedule_timeout() to prevent hangs if the listener is closed concurrently. 5. When unlinking unaccepted child sockets during listener release, unlink them from local->sockets, call sock_orphan(), and drop their initial sk_alloc creation reference via sock_put(). 6. Make nfc_llcp_accept_unlink() idempotent by guarding parent access with a NULL check.

    CVE-2026-98581

    Last Modified: 20 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: Fix list corruption / refcount desync in nfc_llcp_recv_dm() nfc_llcp_recv_dm() handles DM(NOBOUND)/DM(REJ) for a socket that is still linked on local->connecting_sockets: it looks the socket up with nfc_llcp_connecting_sock_get(), sets sk->sk_state = LLCP_CLOSED and returns, without taking the socket lock and without unlinking the socket from the connecting_sockets list. llcp_sock_release() selects the list to unlink from by sk_state: a socket in LLCP_CONNECTING is unlinked from connecting_sockets, otherwise from the sockets list. Because recv_dm left the socket physically on connecting_sockets but in the LLCP_CLOSED state, release() takes the else branch and calls nfc_llcp_sock_unlink(&local->sockets, sk). That runs sk_del_node_init() while holding sockets.lock, i.e. it removes the socket from the connecting_sockets hlist under the wrong lock. A concurrent connect() linking another socket onto connecting_sockets under connecting_sockets.lock then mutates the same hlist unserialized, which corrupts the list and desyncs the sk_add_node()/sk_del_node_init() sock_hold()/__sock_put() pairing. An unprivileged local process holding LLCP sockets, with the DM supplied by the remote peer over an established LLCP link, can drive this to leak kernel sockets without bound (the mis-decrement goes through the non-freeing __sock_put() path, so the object is never released), leading to memory exhaustion / DoS. This is the same class of bug that was fixed in the sibling handler nfc_llcp_recv_cc() by commit b493ea2765cc ("nfc: llcp: Fix use-after-free race in nfc_llcp_recv_cc()"); recv_dm did not receive the equivalent fix. Fix it the same way: take lock_sock(), re-check that the socket is still hashed (release() may have won the race), and for the NOBOUND/REJ case unlink it from connecting_sockets before moving it to LLCP_CLOSED. The unlink drops the connecting_sockets membership reference via sk_del_node_init(), leaving the socket unhashed, so the later nfc_llcp_sock_unlink() in llcp_sock_release() becomes a no-op and no double put occurs.

    CVE-2026-98803

    Last Modified: 19 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: stmmac: fix rx Scatter-Gather support When a received frame is larger than dma_buf_sz, the DMA scatters it across multiple RX descriptors (rx Scatter-Gather). The secondary RX buffer (sec_page) was only allocated and programmed when split-header (SPH) was active, so for regular frames buffer2 was neither allocated nor backed by a valid mapping. As soon as an incoming frame overflowed buffer1, the DMA wrote the overflow into the unmapped secondary-buffer address, triggering an SMMU translation fault on IOMMU-based platforms: arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Unhandled context fault: fsr=0x402, iova=0x00000000, fsynr=0x7f0011, cbfrsynra=0x1c90, cb=11 arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: FSR = 00000402 [Format=2 TF], SID=0x1c90 arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: FSYNR0 = 007f0011 [S1CBNDX=127 WNR PLVL=1] Enable scatter-gather for non-SPH frames on cores that can program an independent secondary RX buffer (GMAC4/XGMAC): allocate and mark buffer2 as valid in stmmac_init_rx_buffers() and stmmac_rx_refill(), and account for it in the buffer length computation. Legacy cores have no set_sec_addr op, so they keep buffer2 disabled. Since buffer2 is handed to the DMA at page offset 0, the page pool sync window is widened to cover both buffers in every mode: offset is set to 0 and max_len to dma_buf_sz + stmmac_rx_offset(). The FCS can straddle the buffer1/buffer2 boundary and a descriptor boundary, so it is now stripped from the tail of the assembled frame with pskb_trim() instead of from a single buffer, avoiding an unsigned underflow for frames that overflow a buffer by 1..3 bytes. For single-buffer frames the XDP program must not see the FCS, so it is removed from the XDP buffer before the program runs. Native XDP currently only supports single-buffer (linear) frames. An oversized frame accepted by the MAC (jumbo enabled) is received via buffer2; the XDP program only sees buffer1, so on a TX/REDIRECT verdict the frame is forwarded truncated. XDP multi-buffer support to handle this case is planned as a follow-up. AF_XDP zero-copy RX is not covered by this change: a ZC queue still programs buffer2 at DMA address 0 (and XGMAC has no buffer2-valid bit), so an oversized frame overflowing buffer1 can still trigger the same SMMU translation fault. Handling is planned as a follow-up.

    Last Modified: 20 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfp: hold IPsec RX state under the XArray lock nfp_net_ipsec_rx() drops the XArray lock before taking a reference to the xfrm_state it found. The delete path can erase the entry and drop the last state reference in that interval. RX can then try to increment a zero refcount after the state has been queued for destruction. The driver queues firmware invalidation asynchronously; the delete path does not wait for the command to complete or drain pending RX processing. The XFRM garbage collector waits for an RCU grace period before freeing the state. That delays reclamation but does not make acquiring a reference from zero valid. Take the xfrm_state reference before releasing the XArray lock so xa_erase() cannot run between lookup and reference acquisition.

    CVE-2026-98562

    Last Modified: 20 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: libwx: fix races in Tx timestamp handling wx->ptp_tx_skb is shared between the Tx path, the PTP auxiliary worker and the timestamp cleanup paths. The WX_STATE_PTP_TX_IN_PROGRESS bit prevents multiple Tx paths from submitting timestamp requests, but does not serialize the worker against cleanup. As a result, wx_ptp_clear_tx_timestamp() can free an skb after wx_ptp_tx_hwtstamp_work() has obtained its pointer. The worker may then pass the freed skb to skb_tstamp_tx() and release the same reference again. The cleanup path may also clear the in-progress bit while the worker is still processing the old skb. This allows the Tx path to publish a new skb which the worker can subsequently overwrite with NULL, leaking its reference. Add a dedicated spinlock to protect publication and consumption of the Tx timestamp skb. Detach the skb and clear the in-progress bit while holding the lock, then deliver the timestamp and release the skb after dropping it. Use the same locked cleanup in the quiesce path, but keep the detach there free of register accesses: quiesce runs during PCIe error recovery, where MMIO is not reliable, and it deliberately did not touch the device before. The lock is taken with interrupts disabled, because netpoll can call ndo_start_xmit() with hard interrupts already off. When handling a Tx DMA mapping failure, keep the transmit path reference until after comparing the skb under the lock. This prevents skb address reuse from making the error path mistake a newer timestamp request for the failed one.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: do not let ipv6_find_hdr() return an offset past the packet end ipv6_find_hdr() walks the extension header chain, skipping each header by the length that header itself declares. ipv6_optlen() returns up to 2048, and the skip is never checked against skb->len, so the offset stored in *offset can point past the end of the packet. openvswitch installs that offset as the transport header, and update_ipv6_checksum() then reads and writes the transport checksum field out of bounds: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in inet_proto_csum_replace16+0x445/0x470 Read of size 2 at addr ffff88810b754b06 by task ovs_ipv6_oob/629 CPU: 4 UID: 1000 PID: 629 Comm: ovs_ipv6_oob Tainted: G N 7.3.0-rc3+ #348 Call Trace: inet_proto_csum_replace16+0x445/0x470 set_ipv6_addr+0x3dd/0x460 do_execute_actions+0x6a3d/0x7c40 ovs_execute_actions+0xfd/0x480 ovs_packet_cmd_execute+0xc38/0xf20 genl_rcv_msg+0x59e/0x870 netlink_rcv_skb+0x18b/0x450 genl_rcv+0x2d/0x40 netlink_unicast+0x6bc/0xa20 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88810b754980 which belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 704 The buggy address is located 390 bytes inside of freed 704-byte region [ffff88810b754980, ffff88810b754c40) Other callers use that offset too, so bound it here rather than in one caller. Reject a header whose declared length does not fit in the packet. ipv6_find_hdr() already fails with -EBADMSG on a malformed chain, so this adds no new failure mode.

    CVE-2026-98455

    Last Modified: 19 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: fix NULL dereference of dlc->session in RFCOMM_CONNINFO The RFCOMM_CONNINFO getsockopt handler accepts a socket that is not connected as long as deferred setup is enabled: if (sk->sk_state != BT_CONNECTED && !rfcomm_pi(sk)->dlc->defer_setup) { err = -ENOTCONN; break; } l2cap_sk = rfcomm_pi(sk)->dlc->session->sock->sk; dlc->defer_setup is set in rfcomm_sock_init() when rfcomm_connect_ind() creates a child socket for an incoming connection on a listening socket that has BT_DEFER_SETUP enabled. It is never cleared afterwards. The session, however, can go away underneath it. rfcomm_recv_disc() forces the dlc state before tearing it down: d->state = BT_CLOSED; __rfcomm_dlc_close(d, err); The RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP early return in __rfcomm_dlc_close() only covers BT_CONNECT, BT_CONFIG, BT_OPEN and BT_CONNECT2, so with the state already BT_CLOSED that switch does not match and the function falls through to rfcomm_dlc_unlink(), which sets d->session = NULL, while d->defer_setup stays 1. A getsockopt(SOL_RFCOMM, RFCOMM_CONNINFO) on the accepted socket after that point therefore skips the -ENOTCONN path -- sk->sk_state is BT_CLOSED, but dlc->defer_setup is still set -- and dereferences the NULL session. No race is needed: once the DISC has been processed, the dereference is unconditional. Reproduced on a KASAN kernel under QEMU with a BR/EDR peer emulated over /dev/vhci: the peer brings up an ACL link, opens L2CAP on the RFCOMM PSM, starts a session and sends SABM for a channel bound with BT_DEFER_SETUP, and sends DISC for that dlci after the socket has been accepted. getsockopt(SOL_RFCOMM, RFCOMM_CONNINFO) on the accepted socket then hits: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000002: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017] CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 150 Comm: init Tainted: G B 7.3.0-rc3-g5dd1818b15d9 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) RIP: 0010:rfcomm_sock_getsockopt+0x529/0x780 Call Trace: <TASK> do_sock_getsockopt+0x3ad/0x7d0 __sys_getsockopt+0x10e/0x1b0 __x64_sys_getsockopt+0xc2/0x160 do_syscall_64+0xda/0x4b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f </TASK> 0x10 is the offset of sock in struct rfcomm_session; rfcomm_sock_getsockopt_old() is inlined into rfcomm_sock_getsockopt(). Commit 43a556b2fd43 ("Bluetooth: RFCOMM: take rfcomm_mutex for the deferred setup accept") fixed the same "a remote DISC clears the session while deferred setup is still flagged" problem in rfcomm_dlc_accept(); this is the remaining instance of it, in the getsockopt path. Deferred setup only leaves a socket usable here once it has reached BT_CONNECT2, so restrict the exception to that state and check that a session is actually present before following it.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/cmf: Fix virtual vs physical address confusion The measurement block address is an absolute address. Define the associated schib_config and schib fields as dma64_t to enable automatic detection of incorrect assignments. Also add the missing virt_to_dma64() translation. Without this fix, a wrong address will be used by firmware when storing extended format channel measurement data on kernels built with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_IDENTITY_BASE=y.

    CVE-2026-98548

    Last Modified: 24 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: discard the rest of the packet on a stale-cookie error When an association is in COOKIE-ECHOED state and the peer sends a bundled [ERROR(Stale Cookie)][DATA] packet from one of its non-primary addresses, processing the ERROR chunk takes the non-fatal stale-cookie retry path sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale(), which queues SCTP_CMD_DEL_NON_PRIMARY while keeping the association alive. sctp_cmd_del_non_primary() removes every non-primary transport - including the very transport this packet arrived on, which is still referenced by the receive lookup and shared by all chunks of the packet via chunk->transport. sctp_assoc_rm_peer() does redirect asoc->peer.last_data_from away from the removed transport, but right afterwards the bundled DATA chunk makes sctp_assoc_bh_rcv() re-register asoc->peer.last_data_from = chunk->transport unconditionally, undoing the redirection with the just-removed transport. Once the packet is done, the receive reference is dropped and the transport is RCU-freed, while the surviving association keeps the dangling last_data_from. A later FWD-TSN (or the delayed SACK timer) makes sctp_gen_sack() dereference it (->param_flags and friends), and sctp_make_sack()/sctp_outq_select_transport() may write to the freed object and link it into the live transport list. This is a use-after-free triggerable by any malicious SCTP peer (or a local unprivileged user acting as one) with no capabilities required: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sctp_do_sm+0x498a/0x5660 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88800e1e356c by task poc/115 Call Trace: sctp_do_sm <- sctp_assoc_bh_rcv <- sctp_inq_push <- sctp_rcv <- ip_protocol_deliver_rcu <- ip_rcv Allocated: sctp_transport_new <- sctp_assoc_add_peer <- sctp_process_init (INIT-ACK processing) Freed: kfree <- sctp_transport_destroy_rcu <- rcu_core (call_rcu queued by sctp_transport_put at end of sctp_rcv) The buggy address is located 364 bytes inside of freed 1024-byte region [ffff88800e1e3400, ffff88800e1e3800), cache kmalloc-1k Note that commit 03a9d10ecf71 ("sctp: drop a chunk if its transport was removed") only covers the window between the receive lookup and the chunk processing (e.g. an ASCONF DEL-IP racing the socket backlog); here the transport is removed *while* the packet is being processed, by an earlier chunk of the same packet, so the drop in sctp_inq_push() does not reach this path. Verified with the bundled [ERROR(Stale Cookie)][DATA] + FWD-TSN reproducer: the KASAN report above still fires with that commit applied, and is gone with this patch on top. Fix it by discarding the rest of the packet on this path, as suggested by Xin. After the stale-cookie ERROR has sent the association back to COOKIE-WAIT and removed the non-primary transports, the remaining chunks of the packet can only run against the restarted handshake while referencing the removed arrival transport through chunk->transport: besides the last_data_from registration above, sctp_cmd_setup_t2() and the sctp_make_*() reply builders would also copy that pointer into association-lifetime state that sctp_assoc_rm_peer() has already sanitized. Let the peer retransmit them, in line with what sctp_inq_push() does for chunks whose transport was removed before processing.

    CVE-2026-98433

    Last Modified: 19 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: fix secure device page leak on uv_page_in() failure In kvmppc_svm_page_in(), if uv_page_in() fails after kvmppc_uvmem_get_page() has succeeded, the secure device page is never released. kvmppc_uvmem_get_page() sets a bit in kvmppc_uvmem_bitmap, allocates a kvmppc_uvmem_page_pvt struct, marks the GFN as KVMPPC_GFN_UVMEM_PFN, and calls zone_device_page_init() which sets refcount=1 and locks the page. The subsequent goto out_finalize skips the *mig.dst assignment, so migrate_vma_finalize() is a no-op for the page, and none of those resources are ever reclaimed. Each occurrence permanently consumes one entry from the firmware-bounded secure memory pool (kvmppc_uvmem_bitmap), leaks pvt, and leaves the GFN marked as secure — making it unusable for the lifetime of the VM. The twin __kvmppc_svm_page_out() already handles the analogous uv_page_out() failure correctly with unlock_page(dpage); __free_page(dpage). Apply the same pattern here: unlock_page() followed by put_page(), which chains through free_zone_device_folio() into kvmppc_uvmem_folio_free() to clear the bitmap bit, free pvt, and reset the GFN state. Reachable whenever uv_page_in() returns an error (e.g. UV pool exhaustion) on any POWER9/10 + Ultravisor/PEF system.

However, the new btree space reservation object isn't that big (~48 bytes). Let's just do a NOFAIL allocation and the problem goes away.

    CVE-2026-98503

    Last Modified: 20 Oct 2026

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: packet: use ubuf_info completion for TX_RING packets tpacket_snd sends skbs with frags pointing into its ring slots. Slots are released when skb->destructor is called. A call to skb_orphan calls skb->destructor before the skb is freed. This can cause the slot to be reused while still linked into the skb. Switch to standard zerocopy completion (ubuf_info) so the slot is only released once all references to the payload are freed or copied. Restore skb->destructor to standard sock_wfree. The ubuf_info completion callback can be called with a NULL skb, but only from net_zcopy_put and related API, used by zerocopy implementations that hold their own reference on the uarg, such as MSG_ZEROCOPY. This uarg is only ever completed from skb_zcopy_clear, so skb is always set. To prevent userspace from aliasing in-flight state on shared ring slots, allocate tpacket_uarg per packet, rather than per slot. This adds a small allocation to the transmit path. Use standard kmalloc to allow backporting to stable kernels. The uarg holds an sk_wmem_alloc reference, rather than an sk_refcnt reference. packet_free_tx_ring waits on sk_wmem_alloc before freeing the ring pages. Always allocate vec->deferred for tx_ring so page-backed rings also wait on sk_wmem_alloc when skb_copy_ubufs drops page refs before calling tpacket_ubuf_complete. Drop the tx_ring.pg_vec test that tpacket_destruct_skb performed before accessing the slot. The sk_wmem_alloc reference now guarantees that the slot is valid. The test is also not sufficient by itself, as it reads pg_vec without pg_vec_lock, so it can race with packet_set_ring. As a result a slot is released when its payload is copied, which can be before transmission (e.g., in skb_orphan_frags_rx). If copied before skb_tx_timestamp() is called, no slot timestamp is recorded, similar to when skb_orphan() was called early in the datapath before this patch. Revert the now unused previous skb_zcopy_.._nouarg infra. Depends on commit 992cc9f94ca9 ("net/packet: defer vmalloc TX_RING free until skbs finish").

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: fix OOB read in wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce() The 'wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce()' function may calculate and pass an invalid offset to hid_field_extract(), resulting in memory reads at incorrect addresses -- possibly beyond the end of the report. If a field in the HID descriptor lists more usages than its Report Count actually reserves space for, the function's inner 'j' will walk past the end of the field: for (i = 0; i < report->maxfield; i++) { for (j = 0; j < report->field[i]->maxusage; j++) { ... value = hid_field_extract(hdev, raw_data + 1, offset + j * size, size); A descriptor listing 12288 usages against Report Count 1 has the loop extract the usage at index 12287 from bit offset 98296 -- about 12 KB past a 2-byte received report. The value is stored in wacom_wac->serial[0] and can reach userspace as an MSC_SERIAL event, making this an information disclosure. Clamp the loop to field->report_count, the number of value slots the report holds. Value slots past the last declared usage are still scanned; they reuse that usage (HID 1.11, 6.2.2.8). Verified on v6.12.105 with a UHID reproducer: a 2-byte report from such a descriptor trips KASAN before the patch and not after it.

If registration fails, input_free_device() frees the input device but data->input2 still points to the freed memory. alps_input_configured() calls hid_hw_open() before allocating input2, so URBs are already active and raw_event can fire during the failure window. A U1_SP_ABSOLUTE_REPORT_ID report arriving then causes u1_raw_event() to dereference the freed data->input2 -> use-after-free. Fix by only storing input2 into drvdata after successful registration and adding a NULL guard in the raw_event path.

However, FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO is an optional netlink attribute. When a user sends FOU_CMD_ADD with FOU_ATTR_TYPE set to FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT and omits FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO entirely, nla_policy validation succeeds and parse_nl_config() leaves cfg->protocol as 0 (from memset(cfg, 0, sizeof(*cfg))). fou_create() then creates a FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT socket with fou->protocol == 0. In fou_udp_recv(), returning -fou->protocol to udp_queue_rcv_one_skb() triggers IP protocol resubmission when fou->protocol > 0, whereas returning 0 tells the UDP tunnel layer that the skb was consumed without freeing it. When fou->protocol == 0, every packet received on the socket returns 0 from fou_udp_recv() and leaks the sk_buff. Reject FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT when !cfg->protocol in fou_create() so that creating a direct encapsulation port without FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO fails with -EINVAL while leaving FOU_CMD_DEL and FOU_CMD_GET (which share parse_nl_config()) unaffected.

Since the dentry was already hashed by the lookup before the create any path walk finds it without touching the parent's i_rwsem and so can lock the inode. If the inode is a directory unlock_new_inode() calls lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key() and marks i_rwsem with the i_mutex_dir_key class. That resets the count and the owner of a lock somebody else may already hold by now... syzbot has been spamming us with the same godforsaken bug "WARNING in do_new_mount" since 2023. I can't take it anymore so I went looking. Afaict, syzbot's executor chdirs into a freshly mounted ntfs3 image, creates a directory and then mounts some pseudofs on it. Everytime the mkdir() takes longer than syzbot waits mount() runs concurrently: mkdir("./sys") mount(NULL, "./sys", "sysfs") ntfs_create_inode() d_instantiate() user_path_at() finds the dentry do_lock_mount() inode_lock(inode) namespace_lock() unlock_new_inode() lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key() init_rwsem(&inode->i_rwsem) unlock_mount() inode_unlock(inode) The mount side then releases a lock that according to the rwsem nobody holds: DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON((rwsem_owner(sem) != current) && ...): count = 0x0, magic = 0xffff888043a854e8, owner = 0x0, curr 0xffff888000244880, list empty WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5346 at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1368 __up_write Call Trace: inode_unlock include/linux/fs.h:877 [inline] unlock_mount fs/namespace.c:2892 [inline] do_new_mount_fc fs/namespace.c:3828 [inline] do_new_mount+0x777/0xa40 fs/namespace.c:3887 On PREEMPT_RT the same thing shows up as DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(rt_mutex_owner(lock) != current) WARNING: kernel/locking/rtmutex_common.h:193 at rt_mutex_slowunlock The up_write() underflows the reset count. A following inode_lock() on that directory then never returns. A path walk into the new directory racing with the mkdir() corrupts the lock the same way via inode_lock_shared() in lookup_slow(). Switch to d_instantiate_new() and drop the trailing unlock_new_inode(). All error paths bail out before that point with I_NEW still set and keep using discard_new_inode(). May we never see this fscking bug report again.
