In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv4: fib: bound automatic table ID allocation fib_empty_table() probes every table ID from 1 until it finds a free one. IPv4 tables are stored in a 256-bucket hash table, so a dense set of IDs makes each probe walk a growing hash chain while RTNL is held. Automatic table assignment ("ip rule ... table 0") is an IPv4-only legacy path. Bound the automatically allocated ID to 4096 so the RTNL hold stays bounded, without changing lookups of explicitly specified table IDs. This changes user-visible behavior. A table-0 rule previously received the lowest free ID in 1..RT_TABLE_MAX (0xFFFFFFFF). After this patch the search stops at 4096 and the rule add fails with ENOBUFS if that range is fully occupied. Explicit table IDs above 4096 remain usable. The automatic path is unused in practice: it is IPv4-only, not documented by ip-rule, uncovered by kernel selftests, and both NetworkManager and systemd refuse table 0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: idpf: disable DIM work before freeing q_vectors idpf never drains the Tx/Rx DIM works before freeing the memory they live in. tx_dim and rx_dim are embedded in struct idpf_q_vector, they are queued from the NAPI poll via net_dim(), and idpf_vport_intr_rel() ends with kfree(rsrc->q_vectors). Nothing in the driver cancels them. idpf_tx_dim_work() and idpf_rx_dim_work() then run on freed memory: idpf_vport_intr_write_itr() writes the ITR register through q_vector->intr_reg.tx_itr / rx_itr, void __iomem pointers loaded out of the freed q_vector. No configuration is needed to get there -- IDPF_ITR_IS_DYNAMIC() is defined as (itr_mode) and idpf_vport_alloc() initialises both modes to IDPF_ITR_DYNAMIC. Draining after idpf_vport_intr_napi_dis_all() is not enough on its own. idpf_net_dim() is called from inside the "if (napi_complete_done(napi, work_done))" branch of the poll, and napi_complete_done() has already cleared NAPIF_STATE_SCHED by then. napi_disable_locked() waits only while (val & (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED | NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC)), so napi_disable() can return while the poll tail is still queueing the work, and a plain cancel_work_sync() would be re-armed behind the drain. Use disable_work_sync(): schedule_work() on a work with a non-zero disable count is dropped by clear_pending_if_disabled() before __queue_work() is reached. Move idpf_init_dim() to idpf_vport_intr_alloc() so the works are initialised on every path that can reach the drain -- the three "goto intr_deinit" sites between idpf_vport_intr_init() and idpf_vport_intr_ena() get there without the enable side having run. Nothing re-enables them: rsrc->q_vectors is freed on every exit from idpf_vport_open() and on every idpf_vport_stop(), so the count dies with the object. It is a race, not a deterministic failure -- net_dim() only schedules once DIM_NEVENTS events have accumulated and the profile index changes. A KASAN ifup/ifdown loop under load is the way to see it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: vfb: defer cleanup until the last reference FBIOGETCMAP takes a shallow snapshot of info->cmap and performs the usercopy after dropping info->lock. vfb_remove() frees the colormap immediately after unregistering the framebuffer, even when an open file still holds a reference to fb_info. A concurrent driver unbind can therefore free the colormap while the ioctl copies it to userspace. KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _copy_to_user Read of size 512 by task poc/125 _copy_to_user (./include/linux/instrumented.h:129 ./include/linux/uaccess.h:201 lib/usercopy.c:24) fb_cmap_to_user (./include/linux/uaccess.h:230 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:211) do_fb_ioctl (drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_chrdev.c:114) Allocated by task 1: fb_alloc_cmap_gfp (./include/linux/slab.h:973 ./include/linux/slab.h:1290 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:108) vfb_probe (drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c:459) Freed by task 124: fb_dealloc_cmap (drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:151) vfb_remove (drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c:489) unregister_framebuffer() drops the registration reference, and fbdev calls fb_destroy after the last put_fb_info(). Move the registered framebuffer's cleanup into an fb_destroy callback so its colormap and screen buffer stay alive until all file references have been released.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa: ifcvf: Put device on unsupported feature error Route unsupported provisioned features through the common error path after vdpa_alloc_device() so the allocated device and adapter pointer are released consistently.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_log: unregister loggers before per-net teardown nf_log_syslog and nfnetlink_log unregister their per-network namespace operations before unregistering their global logger backends. This leaves a window where a sysctl or netlink writer can rebind the still- registered logger after the per-net pre-exit callback cleared the old selection. The race looks like this: CPU 0 CPU 1 ---- ---- unregister_pernet_subsys() nf_log_unset(net, logger) net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] = NULL lock nf_log_mutex find logger in loggers[][] net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] = logger unlock nf_log_mutex nf_log_unregister(logger) lock nf_log_mutex loggers[pf][type] = NULL unlock nf_log_mutex synchronize_rcu() module exit returns module core frees backend memory Later, a sysctl read or packet logging operation can dereference the stale per-net logger pointer. Fix this by unregistering the global logger backends before tearing down per-net state. Once the global registrations are gone, later writers can no longer rebind the logger. unregister_pernet_subsys() already waits for an RCU grace period after the pre-exit callback clears the per-net selection, while nf_log_unregister() continues to cover readers of the global logger table. Apply this ordering fix to both nf_log backends that combine per-net teardown with global logger registration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: openvswitch: fix use-after-free of the flow table mask array tbl_mask_array_realloc() retires the old mask_array before it stops being reachable: old = ovsl_dereference(tbl->mask_array); if (old) { ... call_rcu(&old->rcu, mask_array_rcu_cb); } rcu_assign_pointer(tbl->mask_array, new); call_rcu() only waits for read-side critical sections already in flight. tbl->mask_array still points at old between the call_rcu() and the rcu_assign_pointer(), so a reader entering ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_stats() in that window picks up old in a fresh critical section that the pending grace period does not cover. tbl_mask_array_realloc() runs in process context under ovs_mutex, so the window is preemptible and can outlast the grace period. Then mask_array_rcu_cb() frees old before the swap runs: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in flow_lookup.constprop.0+0x2bf/0x2f0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888020b3e018 by task poc/741 flow_lookup.constprop.0+0x2bf/0x2f0 ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_stats+0x4a3/0x5c0 ovs_dp_process_packet+0x19c/0x710 ovs_vport_receive+0x243/0x390 internal_dev_xmit+0x81/0x170 Freed by task 728: kfree+0x16a/0x4e0 rcu_core+0x853/0x1030 Publish the new array before retiring the old one. The kfree_rcu() that call_rcu() replaced ran after the swap.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mana: Reserve extra CQ slot for the fence completion CQE The RX completion queue is sized to hold exactly one CQE per posted RX WQE. MANA_FENCE_RQ makes hardware post an additional CQE_RX_OBJECT_FENCE after the packet CQEs. The current sizing reserves no extra slot for it and in rare cases, CQ has no guaranteed slot for the fence CQE when it is full of packet CQEs. This can lead to dropping the fence completion while the driver waits holding RTNL lock throughout the timeout duration. Reserve one extra CQE slot for CQE_RX_OBJECT_FENCE. mana_gd_alloc_memory() requires queue_size to be a power-of-two and at least MANA_PAGE_SIZE; the reservation pushes cq_size past a power-of-two, so round up the CQ size in mana_create_rxq().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915: Fix memory leak in query_perf_config_list() When krealloc() fails, free the original oa_config_ids before returning to avoid a memory leak. (cherry picked from commit 9977e9d84f46d4f12ad35fbbc0ec4638554bce87)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/drm_exec: fix up contended obj when num_objects is 0 drm_exec_prepare_array() silently returns success without calling drm_exec_lock_contended() when num_objects is zero. This breaks the invariant upheld by drm_exec_lock_obj(), where every entry point into the locking sequence must first attempt to lock any previously contended object before proceeding. Drivers that chain multiple drm_exec_prepare_array() calls per drm_exec_until_all_locked() iteration (e.g. amdgpu's userq signal/wait ioctls, which prepare separate read and write BO arrays) can pass an empty array for one of the two calls. If contention is hit while preparing the non-empty array, exec->contended is set and the loop retries; on retry, the empty-array call preceding it is a no-op that never clears exec->contended, so drm_exec_retry_on_contention() immediately jumps back to the top of the loop without ever reaching the call that would resolve the contention. This spins forever. Fix it by having drm_exec_prepare_array() call drm_exec_lock_contended() directly when num_objects is zero, so a pending contended object dont loop infinitely.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: zero-initialize policy cpumask before sysfs publication cpufreq_policy_alloc() allocates policy->cpus with alloc_cpumask_var(), i.e. without __GFP_ZERO, unlike the sibling related_cpus and real_cpus masks. With CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y the mask is a separate kmalloc_node() allocation, so its bitmap holds whatever the slab allocator left behind: cpufreq_online() cpufreq_policy_alloc() alloc_cpumask_var(&policy->cpus) /* bitmap is uninitialized */ kobject_init_and_add() /* policy%u/ appears in sysfs */ cpufreq_policy_online() cpumask_copy(policy->cpus, cpumask_of(cpu)) /* first valid value */ This leaves a window in which the sysfs attributes are already reachable while policy->cpus is still garbage. show()/store() gate on policy_is_inactive(), i.e. cpumask_empty(policy->cpus), so a non-zero bitmap makes them run the attribute callbacks on a policy that is not initialized yet. Fix this by using zalloc_cpumask_var() for policy->cpus.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btrtl: Don't leak return code when parsing firmware format v2 When key_id from chip is zero, rtlbt_parse_firmware_v2() intentionally ignores all security headers. However, the implementation simply breaks from a switch statement and leaks uninitialized return code `rc' (if the first section is a security one) or the previous section's `rc'. Fix it by really skipping a loop with `continue'. For consistency and readability, also do the same for the default case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: sti: initialize IRQ lock before requesting IRQ uni_reader_init() registers the shared IRQ before initializing reader->irq_lock. A pending interrupt can invoke the handler while the lock is still uninitialized. Initialize the lock before registering the IRQ so the interrupt path always sees valid lock state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: sprd: validate compress buffer sizes against fixed allocations sprd_platform_compr_open() allocates the stage 0 IRAM buffer (32K data area) and the stage 1 DDR buffer (2M data area) with fixed sizes, but sprd_platform_compr_copy() derives all copy lengths from the user controlled runtime->fragment_size and the write() count, never comparing them against the physical buffer sizes. The compress core only checks fragment_size * fragments for an u32 overflow in snd_compress_check_input(), so a local user can configure a logical buffer of up to ~4GB via SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS, far exceeding the fixed allocations. A fragment_size larger than the 32K IRAM data area makes the stage 0 copy_from_user() overflow past the IRAM allocation, and a buffer_size larger than the 2M DDR buffer makes the wrapping copy at the end of sprd_platform_compr_copy() write fully user controlled data past the buffer. No SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START is needed, a write() in SETUP state reaches the copy callback directly. Reject parameters that do not fit into the fixed buffers in set_params(), and fix the advertised max fragment size: 128K never fitted into the 32K IRAM buffer. The caps values may have been carried over from the qdsp6 driver, which allocates its buffers according to the advertised maxima, unlike this driver. With 32K as max fragment size the advertised limits are self-consistent: 32K * 64 = 2M equals the DDR buffer size. Discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Undo the registration when enabling the histogram trigger fails Commit 6f86bdeab633 ("tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers list") described how a trigger that is registered but not on file->triggers ends up freed while still on the global named_triggers list, and moved the registration down so that hist_trigger_enable() follows it immediately. One path still gets there. hist_trigger_enable() adds the trigger and takes it straight back out when the event cannot be enabled: list_add_tail_rcu(&data->list, &file->triggers); update_cond_flag(file); if (trace_event_trigger_enable_disable(file, 1) < 0) { list_del_rcu(&data->list); update_cond_flag(file); ret--; } so the list walk in hist_unregister_trigger() matches nothing, test stays NULL, and the ->free() that would call del_named_trigger() is skipped. out_unreg falls through to out_free, which frees the trigger anyway: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880091d3160 by task init/1 find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0 hist_register_trigger+0xc1/0xa00 event_hist_trigger_parse+0x3146/0x6af0 event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160 Freed by task 69: kfree+0x154/0x420 trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160 Leave the trigger where hist_unregister_trigger() can find it and let that undo the registration, which is the only code that knows all of what cmd_ops->init() took: the named list entry, the hist_pad reference, the reference on the trigger a named histogram is shared with, and the copied cmd_ops. It also pairs the failed trace_event_trigger_enable_disable(), whose sm_ref and buffered event reference are otherwise left behind. Since ->free() releases trigger_data and, for a trigger that does not share its histogram, hist_data with it, out_unreg can no longer fall through to out_free. For a trigger that does share, hist_register_trigger() has already destroyed the caller's hist_data, so the fall-through was reading freed memory there as well. Move the enable_timestamps check in hist_unregister_trigger() above the ->free() call for the same reason: hist_data does not outlive it once the trigger being removed is the one that owns it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Free histogram var refs regardless of how often they are referenced Using the same variable three or more times in one hist trigger leaks the variable reference and its strings when the trigger is removed. commit 656fe2ba85e8 ("tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs") made a trigger's var_refs[] array the only owner of a var ref: destroy_hist_field() returns early for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, so the field expressions never destroy one. One entry, freed once, no count needed. commit 8bcebc77e85f ("tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as value") then made repeated references share one object and added a count of them. Only the increment side exists, since those expressions still return early and never drop a reference, so __destroy_hist_field() sees how many references were created rather than how many are left. It frees when the decremented count is 0 or 1, so two references work and three or more leak. Sharing kept one array entry per object, and create_var_ref() searches and appends within a single trigger, so nothing outside it holds the object. Removing a trigger whose variables are still referenced is already refused by check_var_refs() with -EBUSY. Drop the count and free unconditionally.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Free histogram the var ref when its initialization fails create_var_ref() allocates a VAR_REF hist_field and then calls init_var_ref() to fill it in. When that fails the field is leaked. commit 656fe2ba85e8 ("tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs") made destroy_hist_field() return early for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, since var refs are freed by walking the trigger's var_refs[] array instead. create_var_ref() adds the field to that array only after init_var_ref() has succeeded, so on this path the field is in neither place and nothing frees it. The call was correct when it was written, before var refs were taken out of destroy_hist_field(). init_var_ref() cannot free it either. The caller owns the field, so init_var_ref() undoes only its own string allocations and leaves the field alone. Freeing it there would leave create_var_ref() passing freed memory to destroy_hist_field(), which reads its flags. Call __destroy_hist_field(), which frees the field without consulting the flag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ufs: validate cylinder group metadata before caching it ufs_read_cylinder() copies the cylinder group index and the rotor positions straight from the on-disk group and caches them without any check: ucpi->c_cgx = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg->cg_cgx); ucpi->c_rotor = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg->cg_rotor); ucpi->c_frotor = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg->cg_frotor); ucpi->c_irotor = fs32_to_cpu(sb, ucg->cg_irotor); They are then used as indices during allocation and free: - c_cgx indexes the cylinder summary array as UFS_SB(sb)->fs_cs(ucpi->c_cgx), so a value past s_ncg writes a 32 bit count outside the s_csp allocation. - c_frotor becomes a bitmap scan start, start = c_frotor >> 3, and then length = ((s_fpg + 7) >> 3) - start. A start beyond the block bitmap wraps the unsigned length to a huge value, so ubh_scanc() walks far past the cylinder group buffers. c_irotor drives the inode bitmap the same way. A crafted image can set any of these freely, turning an ordinary allocation into an out of bounds access. Reject a cylinder group whose recorded index does not match the group being read, or whose rotors fall outside the group, before the metadata is cached. Valid filesystems keep cg_cgx equal to the group number and the rotors within the group, so only malformed images are rejected.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ufs: create the root dentry after loading cylinder metadata ufs_fill_super() installed sb->s_root before it loaded the cylinder group structures for a writable mount: sb->s_root = d_make_root(inode); ... if (!sb_rdonly(sb)) if (!ufs_read_cylinder_structures(sb)) goto failed; When ufs_read_cylinder_structures() failed, the error path freed the in-core superblock information and set sb->s_fs_info to NULL while sb->s_root stayed installed. get_tree_bdev() then reached deactivate_locked_super(), and because s_root was present, generic_shutdown_super() called sync_filesystem() and the put_super operation. Both dereference UFS_SB(sb), which is now NULL, so a mount that fails only while reading the cylinder groups oopses during teardown. A crafted image whose first cylinder group cannot be read reaches this path. Load the cylinder group metadata first and create the root dentry last, so the superblock is published to the VFS only once it is fully set up. ufs_setup_cstotal() and ufs_read_cylinder_structures() take only the super_block and do not use the root inode, so the reordering is safe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usbusx2y: fix in04_last array size mismatch with in04_buf The in04_last array in struct usx2ydev is declared as char[24], but in04_buf is allocated as sizeof(struct us428_ctls) which is 21 bytes. In i_usx2y_in04_int(), when ctl_snapshot_last == -2 (initialization path): memcpy(usx2y->in04_last, usx2y->in04_buf, sizeof(usx2y->in04_last)); This copies 24 bytes from a 21-byte slab allocation, reading 3 bytes past the end of the source object. Introduce a USX2Y_IN04_SIZE constant defined as sizeof(struct us428_ctls) and use it consistently for the in04_last array, the in04_buf allocation, the URB transfer length, and the comparison loop, replacing the bare 24 and 21 literals throughout.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: us122l: Prevent write upgrades for read mappings The hwdep mmap callback rejects read-buffer mappings that are initially writable, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set on mappings created with PROT_READ. A process that can open the hwdep node O_RDWR can later use mprotect() to make the mapping writable. The read allocation begins with struct usb_stream. Its read_size member is used by the fault handler to decide which pages belong to the read buffer. The read VMA intentionally remains expandable because pcm_usb_stream uses mremap() after reading that size. Changing read_size first can therefore map and access pages beyond the allocation. The same member is also consumed by usb_stream_free(), where changing it can make free_pages_exact() release pages outside the allocation. Clear VM_MAYWRITE for read-buffer mappings after rejecting an initially writable VMA. This keeps the separate output-buffer mapping writable while preventing later permission upgrades.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Set the trace clock before registering the histogram trigger hist_register_trigger() puts the trigger on the global named_triggers list in cmd_ops->init(), and only then sets the trace clock: if (data->cmd_ops->init) { ret = data->cmd_ops->init(data); if (ret < 0) goto out; } if (hist_data->enable_timestamps) { ret = tracing_set_clock(file->tr, hist_data->attrs->clock); if (ret) { hist_err(tr, HIST_ERR_SET_CLOCK_FAIL, errpos(clock)); goto out; } The clock string is not checked anywhere before that call, so a named trigger using common_timestamp with an unknown clock fails after it has already become findable. event_hist_trigger_parse() then frees it without taking it off the list, and the next lookup by name reads the freed object: ~# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch ~# echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=common_pid:ts=common_timestamp:clock=bogus' > trigger bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument ~# echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=common_pid' > trigger BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88800915d760 by task init/1 find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0 hist_register_trigger+0xc1/0x900 event_hist_trigger_parse+0x3146/0x6af0 event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160 Freed by task 63: kfree+0x154/0x420 trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160 Set the clock before the trigger is registered, so that nothing which can fail runs after it is published, the way commit 6f86bdeab633 ("tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers list") moved the registration below the rest of the setup. tracing_set_filter_buffering() is reference counted, so the init failure path has to drop the reference that the clock block now takes first.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix memory corruption from the histogram stacktrace modifier parse_field() sets HIST_FIELD_FL_STACKTRACE from the ".stacktrace" modifier before it looks the field name up, and nothing afterwards checks that the name resolved to a field which holds a stacktrace. create_hist_field() picks HIST_FIELD_FN_STACK on the strength of the field pointer alone, which reads a __data_loc word from the record and follows its low 16 bits as an offset into the same record. event_hist_trigger() takes the first word there as an entry count and copies that many longs into a 31 entry array: n_entries = *stack; memcpy(entries, ++stack, n_entries * sizeof(unsigned long)); Neither end of that copy is bounded, and the count is whatever the event holds at the offset, so any field will do: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork # echo 'hist:keys=parent_pid.stacktrace' > trigger # (true) BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008 RIP: 0010:rb_insert_color+0x18/0x130 timerqueue_linked_add+0x7e/0xd0 enqueue_hrtimer+0x39/0xb0 __hrtimer_run_queues+0x10f/0x1f0 </IRQ> RIP: 0010:memcpy+0xc/0x30 event_hist_trigger+0x165/0x690 The timer interrupt landed on the rbtree the copy had already run over. No debug options are needed for this; KASAN reports the same write as an out-of-bounds read of 13835058055416381440 bytes. Documentation/trace/histogram.rst already states the rule, "must be a long[] type", so enforce it once the name has been resolved. Names which resolve to no field at all, "hitcount.stacktrace" and the common_* pseudo-fields, are refused for the same reason: they hold no stacktrace to read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: fix fib6 walker UAF on seq stop ipv6_route_iter_active() treats a walker in FWS_U at the table root as already unlinked. fib6_del_route() can move a still-linked walker into that same state when the current leaf is the last route at the root, so ipv6_route_native_seq_stop() skips fib6_walker_unlink(). The seq private object can then be freed while it remains on net->ipv6.fib6_walkers. A later route deletion walks the dangling list and uses the freed walker. Use the list head as membership state and reinitialize it when unlinking. Keep the existing w->node check so a never-started iterator with a zeroed private object is not treated as linked. The same stop helper is used by /proc/net/ipv6_route and by the BPF ipv6_route iterator. The BPF show path only widens the race.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/eeh: Fix recursive locking on devices without EEH sensitive driver The commit 1010b4c012b0 ("powerpc/eeh: Make EEH driver device hotplug safe") refactored the EEH code such that the pci_rescan_remove_lock is held at the beginning of eeh_handle_normal_event() and the eeh_reset_device() is called with that lock being held. Looks like the commit missed to remove the existing lock/unlock inside eeh_rmv_device() which is no longer necessary. This is causing the eehd to hang on the lock which it actually holds when that code path is taken. [<0>] 0xc00000011c78f870 [<0>] __switch_to+0xfc/0x1a0 [<0>] pci_lock_rescan_remove+0x30/0x44 [<0>] eeh_rmv_device+0x290/0x2e0 [<0>] eeh_pe_dev_traverse+0x80/0x130 [<0>] eeh_reset_device+0xcc/0x23c [<0>] eeh_handle_normal_event+0x830/0xa80 [<0>] eeh_event_handler+0xf8/0x190 [<0>] kthread+0x194/0x1b0 [<0>] start_kernel_thread+0x14/0x18 The issue is seen for cases where the errors are detected on the PHB directly AND|OR for devices where the driver error_detected() returns PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, and driver being not EEH sensitive(i.e no error handlers like slot_reset(), resume() etc defined).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: configfs: unhash the dentry before dropping the item in rmdir configfs_get_config_item() treats a hashed dentry as proof that sd->s_element is a live config_item. configfs_rmdir() breaks that: simple_rmdir() leaves the dentry hashed, the last reference to the item is dropped right after, and the dentry is only unhashed by d_delete() once ->rmdir() has returned. configfs_symlink() resolves its target holding no lock on it, so get_target() can land in that window: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in config_item_get+0x26/0x90 get_target fs/configfs/symlink.c:128 [inline] configfs_symlink+0x4ab/0x1030 fs/configfs/symlink.c:185 Unhash in configfs_remove_dir(), while the item is still guaranteed to be there. A reference obtained just before that stays harmless, as create_link() rechecks CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING, already set by configfs_detach_prep(). Both configfs_unregister_subsystem() paths d_drop() after detaching, so this only makes rmdir match them.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: iscsi: Fix hang for aborted WRITE_PENDING commands When a LUN_RESET aborts a WRITE command that is in the TRANSPORT_WRITE_PENDING state, the target core sets CMD_T_ABORTED and waits for the frontend to finish processing. If the initiator subsequently sends the remaining dataout PDUs, __iscsit_check_dataout_hdr() catches the payload, stops the dataout timer if the sequence is final and finally dumps the data. However, the iSCSI target doesn't trigger the completion process for these aborted commands. Because of this, the abort path hangs indefinitely in target_put_cmd_and_wait(), leading to a deadlocked target worker thread. Fix this by explicitly calling target_complete_cmd() when the final dataout PDU is received for an aborted WRITE command. target_complete_cmd() detects the CMD_T_ABORTED flag and cleanly routes the command into target_abort_work, allowing the abort completion to successfully unblock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rds: fix tcp stream corruption with large pages rds_message_map_pages() assigns PAGE_SIZE bytes to every scatterlist entry, even when total_len ends in a partial page. The RDS congestion map is defined as 8192 bytes, so on systems with PAGE_SIZE greater than 8192 the scatterlist maps bytes beyond the end of the congestion map. RDS-TCP transmits the SG contents according to those lengths, so the extra bytes become part of the TCP RDS stream and are interpreted as subsequent RDS message headers, corrupting the stream. Limit the final scatterlist mapping to the number of bytes remaining. This has no effect on systems with a 4K page size and allows RDS-TCP to be used on systems with 16K and larger page sizes. The RDS selftest, which previously hung on 16K pages, now passes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hinic: fix mailbox segment buffer overflow check_mbox_seq_id_and_seg_len() validates that seq_id does not exceed SEQ_ID_MAX_VAL (42) and seg_len does not exceed MBOX_SEG_LEN (48). However, this allows the last segment (seq_id=42) to carry a full 48-byte payload, writing to offset 42*48=2016 for 48 bytes (ending at byte 2064). The receive buffer is only MBOX_MAX_BUF_SZ (2048) bytes, resulting in a 16-byte heap buffer overflow. The hinic3 driver already handles this correctly by defining MBOX_LAST_SEG_MAX_LEN and rejecting the last segment when it exceeds the remaining buffer space. Apply the same fix to the hinic driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_api: Don't replay RTM_GETCHAIN in tc_ctl_chain(). If a netlink socket sends RTM_GETCHAIN requests repeatedly without recv()ing the responses, tc_ctl_chain() hogs CPU and triggers Hung Task splat. [0] As caught in the stack trace, netlink_attachskb() could confuse tc_ctl_chain() by returning -EAGAIN when the userspace netlink socket's receive buffer is full. The replay: label exists since commit 32a4f5ecd738 ("net: sched: introduce chain object to uapi") but was not used initially. Since commit 9f407f1768d3 ("net: sched: introduce chain templates"), the label is needed for RTM_NEWCHAIN because tcf_proto_lookup_ops() may release RTNL to call request_module(). However, the replay logic is unnecessary for RTM_GETCHAIN. Let's apply the replay logic only for RTM_NEWCHAIN.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_route: free emptied bucket on filter move route4_change can move an existing filter to a different top-level bucket: route4_set_parms recomputes the handle from TCA_ROUTE4_TO/ FROM/IIF, and the handle-mismatch check is gated on the 'new' flag, so for an existing filter the new handle may differ from the old one and land in a different bucket. When this happens, the filter is unlinked from the old bucket, but the bucket itself is never freed once it goes empty. The stale empty bucket remains in head->table[], causing route4_delete to report *last=false even after the last live filter is gone. That pins the empty tcf_proto and causes a leak. Fix this by refcounting the filters linked to a bucket and freeing the bucket when the count drops to zero. The existing scan in route4_delete goes away with it. The count is updated at all sites that link or unlink a filter during add, change and delete, and the bucket is dropped from head->table[] as soon as it reaches zero. Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE4=y, CONFIG_NET_SCH_INGRESS=y, CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=y. tc qdisc replace dev lo clsact tc filter add dev lo ingress protocol ip pref 100 route from 1 to 1 tc filter change dev lo ingress protocol ip pref 100 handle 0x10001 \ route from 1 to 2 tc filter del dev lo ingress protocol ip pref 100 handle 0x10002 \ route from 1 to 2 tc filter show dev lo ingress | grep -c 'pref 100 route chain 0 '

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: stmmac: initialize ptp_lock at probe time priv->ptp_lock is only initialized in stmmac_ptp_register(), which runs during __stmmac_open(). However, the lock is also used while the interface is down and has never been opened: tc_taprio_configure() invokes the PTP gettime64() callback to compute the EST base time when offloading a TAPRIO schedule, and stmmac_get_time() takes priv->ptp_lock. Using an uninitialized rwlock is undefined behaviour. Move the rwlock_init() to __stmmac_dvr_probe(), together with the other private locks, so that ptp_lock is always valid regardless of the interface state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ppp_synctty: ensure a writeable skb header ppp_sync_txmunge() checks headroom before prepending the address and control bytes, but does not ensure that the skb header is writable. A received skb can reach this function through PPP channel bridging without passing through ppp_start_xmit(), which calls skb_cow_head(). For example, a PPPoE frame may share its buffer with a clone queued to an AF_PACKET socket. If it is bridged to a synchronous tty channel, the address/control bytes can overwrite data still visible to that socket. Use skb_cow_head() to ensure both sufficient headroom and a writable header.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-pf: reset HTB scheduler topology before freeing queues HTB offload programs NIX_AF_TLxX_TOPOLOGY on QoS-allocated scheduler queues via otx2_qos_txschq_set_parent_topology(), but teardown freed those queues without clearing TOPOLOGY. The AF only restores PARENT and SCHEDULE on free, so PRIO_ANCHOR/RR_PRIO settings can survive in the shared scheduler pool and affect later allocations. Add otx2_qos_reset_schq_topology() and otx2_qos_free_hw_schq() to zero TL4 through TL2 TOPOLOGY before each schq is returned to the AF during hierarchy teardown and cfg rollback. Skip the aggregation level (TL1): it is a per-tx-link queue shared by the PF, default Tx hierarchy and VFs, and is not freed back to the AF by nix_txschq_free_one().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: msc313e: Avoid division by zero clk_get_rate() could return 0. Avoid a division by zero panic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: macb: destroy the phylink instance on the probe error path macb_mii_init() creates a phylink instance on both of its success paths, but the probe unwind frees the netdev without destroying it, so a failing macb_alloc_tieoff() or register_netdev() leaks the instance. Destroy it at err_out_unregister_mdio, which is only reachable once macb_mii_init() has succeeded, so bp->phylink is valid there.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btusb: Fix UAF of btusb_data by rx_work btusb_close() and btusb_flush() cancel data->rx_work with the asynchronous cancel_delayed_work(), so if btusb_rx_work() is already running on another CPU it keeps running after the cancel returns. btusb_disconnect() calls hci_unregister_dev(), which invokes btusb_close(), and then frees the btusb_data. A still running btusb_rx_work() then dereferences the freed data: while ((skb = skb_dequeue(&data->acl_q))) data->recv_acl(data->hdev, skb); Use cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. In btusb_close() the cancel also has to happen after btusb_stop_traffic(), otherwise an URB completion racing with the cancel can requeue the work right after it has been waited for.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: cortina: Count dropped frames as NAPI work The RX loop only consumes budget when it successfully delivers a frame. Error paths keep consuming descriptors without reducing the budget, so a stream of bad frames can process the entire receive ring in one poll. Move the budget accounting to a common end-of-frame path. This counts each completed frame as NAPI work whether it was delivered or dropped, matching the behavior of the vendor driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: cortina: Fix budget accounting The gmac_rx() function returns the remaining NAPI budget, but its caller treats the return value as the number of packets received. An idle poll therefore reports a full budget and remains scheduled. Return the number of received packets instead. Preserve the existing free queue refill accounting by adding that count directly; continuing to subtract it from the budget would invert the refill behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_input: stop callbacks before unregistering input device virtinput_remove() unregisters the input device before resetting the virtio device. virtinput_recv_events() drops vi->lock around input_event(), so clearing vi->ready does not stop a callback that passed the entry check. It can still use vi->idev, requeue buffers and kick the queue. Reset first, as virtinput_freeze() already does. With the preceding core change, reset waits for callbacks before input_unregister_device() can free vi->idev. Recheck vi->ready after taking the lock again: keep draining completed events so an input packet is not truncated, but stop requeueing buffers and kicking the queue. With evdev attached, input_unregister_handle() currently waits for an RCU grace period, which also waits out IRQ callbacks. This masks the lifetime bug on PCI and MMIO, but does not protect sleepable callbacks on other transports.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa_sim_net: check TX pull result before RX copy vringh_iov_pull_iotlb() returns a signed byte count. A failed TX pull is currently added to the unsigned byte counter and then passed as a size_t length to receive_filter() and vringh_iov_push_iotlb(). A negative error can therefore become a large length in the RX path. Handle non-positive pull results before every length use. Count the TX error and complete the consumed TX descriptor with zero bytes. I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa_sim_blk: reject out-of-range sector starts vdpasim_blk_check_range() logs an invalid start sector but continues validating the request. The subsequent unsigned capacity subtraction can underflow and let an out-of-range buffer offset reach the data path. The invalid offset is used by three request paths. VIRTIO_BLK_T_OUT copies guest data to blk->buffer + offset through vringh_iov_pull_iotlb(), causing an out-of-bounds write in _copy_from_iter() or memcpy(). VIRTIO_BLK_T_IN copies from blk->buffer + offset to the guest through vringh_iov_push_iotlb(), causing an out-of-bounds read in _copy_to_iter(). VIRTIO_BLK_T_WRITE_ZEROES passes blk->buffer + offset to memset(), causing an out-of-bounds write. Reject starts at or beyond the capacity before the subtraction. Treat the capacity boundary as invalid because the IN and OUT paths round byte counts down to sectors for validation but later copy the original byte counts. A sub-sector request at the capacity boundary would otherwise still access past the end of the buffer. I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost-vdpa: don't install the eventfd_ctx_fdget() error in config_ctx vhost_vdpa_set_config_call() swaps the eventfd_ctx_fdget() return value into v->config_ctx before checking it, so on failure the field briefly holds an ERR_PTR: ctx = fd == VHOST_FILE_UNBIND ? NULL : eventfd_ctx_fdget(fd); swap(ctx, v->config_ctx); if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(ctx)) eventfd_ctx_put(ctx); if (IS_ERR(v->config_ctx)) { long ret = PTR_ERR(v->config_ctx); v->config_ctx = NULL; return ret; } Commit 0bde59c1723a ("vhost-vdpa: set v->config_ctx to NULL if eventfd_ctx_fdget() fails") added that clearing, and spelled out the invariant the rest of the file relies on: "we consider 'v->config_ctx' valid if it is not NULL". The window between the swap and the clearing still breaks it. vhost_vdpa_config_cb() only tests for NULL, so a config interrupt delivered inside the window hands the ERR_PTR to eventfd_signal(). Check the fd before installing it instead. That closes the window and matches how vhost_vring_ioctl() handles the same failure for the vq call fd. It also stops a rejected fd from tearing down a config interrupt that was working: until now the swap replaced the live context and put it, so after an EBADF the device silently stopped delivering config interrupts until userspace installed a new fd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_console: do not free control-out buffers on remove __send_control_msg() publishes &portdev->cpkt as the control-out virtqueue cookie. remove_vqs() walks every virtqueue and passes leftover cookies to free_buf(), which treats them as struct port_buffer and reads sgpages. If a control message is still on c_ovq when the device is unbound, free_buf() reads past the ports_device object. KASAN reported slab-out-of-bounds in free_buf(): free_buf remove_vqs virtcons_remove unbind_store The object was the ports_device allocated in virtcons_probe(). Drain c_ovq without freeing. The packet lives in portdev and is released with it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nfnetlink_log: cope with concurrent instance destruction Instances are refcounted. However, only memory release happens on the 1 -> 0 transition; the unlink from hashes can occur with any refcount. Uncooperative userspace can force a situation where a queue is pending for destruction from netlink event while a different socket with same portid processes an UNBIND request. With right timing, this will unhash the instance again: Oops: general protection fault, [..] Call Trace: <TASK> nfulnl_recv_config+0x31a/0xd50 nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x7c2/0xeb0

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject non-scalar bpf_loop iteration counts bpf_loop() declares its nr_loops argument as ARG_ANYTHING. Privileged programs may pass pointer values to such arguments, so check_func_arg() lets a pointer-valued R1 reach the helper-specific checks. Since commit bb124da69c47 ("bpf: keep track of max number of bpf_loop callback iterations"), the verifier marks R1 precise and reads its upper bound to limit callback simulation. Precision backtracking only accepts scalar registers, so passing a pointer instead triggers the "backtracking misuse" verifier warning. Kernels with panic_on_warn enabled subsequently panic. Introduce ARG_SCALAR for helper arguments that only accept scalar values and use it for bpf_loop() nr_loops. Generic helper argument validation then rejects pointers before loop inlining and precision processing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: macb: fix NULL pointer dereference on unbind with fixed-link When the device tree describes a fixed-link and has no "mdio" child node, macb_mii_init() returns early without allocating the MDIO bus, leaving bp->mii_bus as NULL. Two cleanup paths then dereference this NULL bus: 1. On driver unbind, macb_remove() unconditionally calls mdiobus_unregister(bp->mii_bus), which oopses: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000004a8 pc : mdiobus_unregister+0x14/0xa4 lr : macb_remove+0x38/0xa4 Call trace: mdiobus_unregister+0x14/0xa4 (P) macb_remove+0x38/0xa4 platform_remove+0x20/0x30 device_release_driver_internal+0x1c8/0x224 unbind_store+0xb4/0xbc 2. On the probe error path in macb_probe(), reached when macb_mii_init() has succeeded but a subsequent step fails, the err_out_unregister_mdio label runs the same unconditional cleanup. mdiobus_unregister() and mdiobus_free() do not guard against a NULL bus, so guard the calls in both macb_remove() and the probe error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: ets: clamp quantum in parse and fallback paths ets_qdisc_change() falls back to psched_mtu() with no floor for bands without an explicit quantum. With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches ~2 GiB, so a zero psched_mtu on a headerless device makes the deficit-refill loop spin under the qdisc lock. Move the floor into ets_quantum_parse() so explicitly configured quanta are also clamped to [256, 1<<20], not just the fallback path. Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_SCH_ETS=y.

Add clamp_t(u32, quantum, 256, 1<<20) after the zero reject and on the fallback path. The explicit-zero reject is preserved. Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_SCH_DRR=y.

Add max(256U, ...) in hhf_change() matching fq_codel_change(). Clamp hhf_init() to [256, 1<<20] matching the siblings, and remove the old fallback that only set quantum=256 on overflow.
