| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: Fix error handling for SOCK_DGRAM in kcm_sendmsg().
syzkaller found a memory leak in kcm_sendmsg(), and commit c821a88bd720
("kcm: Fix memory leak in error path of kcm_sendmsg()") suppressed it by
updating kcm_tx_msg(head)->last_skb if partial data is copied so that the
following sendmsg() will resume from the skb.
However, we cannot know how many bytes were copied when we get the error.
Thus, we could mess up the MSG_MORE queue.
When kcm_sendmsg() fails for SOCK_DGRAM, we should purge the queue as we
do so for UDP by udp_flush_pending_frames().
Even without this change, when the error occurred, the following sendmsg()
resumed from a wrong skb and the queue was messed up. However, we have
yet to get such a report, and only syzkaller stumbled on it. So, this
can be changed safely.
Note this does not change SOCK_SEQPACKET behaviour. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: Avoid use-after-free in dbg for hci_add_adv_monitor()
KSAN reports use-after-free in hci_add_adv_monitor().
While adding an adv monitor,
hci_add_adv_monitor() calls ->
msft_add_monitor_pattern() calls ->
msft_add_monitor_sync() calls ->
msft_le_monitor_advertisement_cb() calls in an error case ->
hci_free_adv_monitor() which frees the *moniter.
This is referenced by bt_dev_dbg() in hci_add_adv_monitor().
Fix the bt_dev_dbg() by using handle instead of monitor->handle. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: qcom: Fix memory leak in dwc3_qcom_interconnect_init
of_icc_get() alloc resources for path handle, we should release it when not
need anymore. Like the release in dwc3_qcom_interconnect_exit() function.
Add icc_put() in error handling to fix this. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Shutdown FW DMA in bnxt_shutdown()
The netif_close() call in bnxt_shutdown() only stops packet DMA. There
may be FW DMA for trace logging (recently added) that will continue. If
we kexec to a new kernel, the DMA will corrupt memory in the new kernel.
Add bnxt_hwrm_func_drv_unrgtr() to unregister the driver from the FW.
This will stop the FW DMA. In case the call fails, call pcie_flr() to
reset the function and stop the DMA. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: Prevent TOCTOU out-of-bounds write
For the following path not holding the sock lock,
sctp_diag_dump() -> sctp_for_each_endpoint() -> sctp_ep_dump()
make sure not to exceed bounds in case the address list has grown
between buffer allocation (time-of-check) and write (time-of-use). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: avs: Disable periods-elapsed work when closing PCM
avs_dai_fe_shutdown() handles the shutdown procedure for HOST HDAudio
stream while period-elapsed work services its IRQs. As the former
frees the DAI's private context, these two operations shall be
synchronized to avoid slab-use-after-free or worse errors. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/sched: Fix deadlock in drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb
The Mesa issue referenced below pointed out a possible deadlock:
[ 1231.611031] Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
[ 1231.611033] CPU0 CPU1
[ 1231.611034] ---- ----
[ 1231.611035] lock(&xa->xa_lock#17);
[ 1231.611038] local_irq_disable();
[ 1231.611039] lock(&fence->lock);
[ 1231.611041] lock(&xa->xa_lock#17);
[ 1231.611044] <Interrupt>
[ 1231.611045] lock(&fence->lock);
[ 1231.611047]
*** DEADLOCK ***
In this example, CPU0 would be any function accessing job->dependencies
through the xa_* functions that don't disable interrupts (eg:
drm_sched_job_add_dependency(), drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()).
CPU1 is executing drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb() as a fence signalling
callback so in an interrupt context. It will deadlock when trying to
grab the xa_lock which is already held by CPU0.
Replacing all xa_* usage by their xa_*_irq counterparts would fix
this issue, but Christian pointed out another issue: dma_fence_signal
takes fence.lock and so does dma_fence_add_callback.
dma_fence_signal() // locks f1.lock
-> drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()
-> foreach dependencies
-> dma_fence_add_callback() // locks f2.lock
This will deadlock if f1 and f2 share the same spinlock.
To fix both issues, the code iterating on dependencies and re-arming them
is moved out to drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Don't overflow during division for dirty tracking
If pgshift is 63 then BITS_PER_TYPE(*bitmap->bitmap) * pgsize will overflow
to 0 and this triggers divide by 0.
In this case the index should just be 0, so reorganize things to divide
by shift and avoid hitting any overflows. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: int3472: Fix double free of GPIO device during unregister
regulator_unregister() already frees the associated GPIO device. On
ThinkPad X9 (Lunar Lake), this causes a double free issue that leads to
random failures when other drivers (typically Intel THC) attempt to
allocate interrupts. The root cause is that the reference count of the
pinctrl_intel_platform module unexpectedly drops to zero when this
driver defers its probe.
This behavior can also be reproduced by unloading the module directly.
Fix the issue by removing the redundant release of the GPIO device
during regulator unregistration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: Implement gettimex64 with -EOPNOTSUPP
gve implemented a ptp_clock for sole use of do_aux_work at this time.
ptp_clock_gettime() and ptp_sys_offset() assume every ptp_clock has
implemented either gettimex64 or gettime64. Stub gettimex64 and return
-EOPNOTSUPP to prevent NULL dereferencing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: reorder cleanup in btusb_disconnect to avoid UAF
There is a KASAN: slab-use-after-free read in btusb_disconnect().
Calling "usb_driver_release_interface(&btusb_driver, data->intf)" will
free the btusb data associated with the interface. The same data is
then used later in the function, hence the UAF.
Fix by moving the accesses to btusb data to before the data is free'd. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/rw: ensure allocated iovec gets cleared for early failure
A previous commit reused the recyling infrastructure for early cleanup,
but this is not enough for the case where our internal caches have
overflowed. If this happens, then the allocated iovec can get leaked if
the request is also aborted early.
Reinstate the previous forced free of the iovec for that situation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: Fix use-after-free in tipc_mon_reinit_self().
syzbot reported use-after-free of tipc_net(net)->monitors[]
in tipc_mon_reinit_self(). [0]
The array is protected by RTNL, but tipc_mon_reinit_self()
iterates over it without RTNL.
tipc_mon_reinit_self() is called from tipc_net_finalize(),
which is always under RTNL except for tipc_net_finalize_work().
Let's hold RTNL in tipc_net_finalize_work().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: act_ife: initialize struct tc_ife to fix KMSAN kernel-infoleak
Fix a KMSAN kernel-infoleak detected by the syzbot .
[net?] KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in __skb_datagram_iter
In tcf_ife_dump(), the variable 'opt' was partially initialized using a
designatied initializer. While the padding bytes are reamined
uninitialized. nla_put() copies the entire structure into a
netlink message, these uninitialized bytes leaked to userspace.
Initialize the structure with memset before assigning its fields
to ensure all members and padding are cleared prior to beign copied.
This change silences the KMSAN report and prevents potential information
leaks from the kernel memory.
This fix has been tested and validated by syzbot. This patch closes the
bug reported at the following syzkaller link and ensures no infoleak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Fix NULL pointer dereference in snd_usb_mixer_controls_badd
In snd_usb_create_streams(), for UAC version 3 devices, the Interface
Association Descriptor (IAD) is retrieved via usb_ifnum_to_if(). If this
call fails, a fallback routine attempts to obtain the IAD from the next
interface and sets a BADD profile. However, snd_usb_mixer_controls_badd()
assumes that the IAD retrieved from usb_ifnum_to_if() is always valid,
without performing a NULL check. This can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference when usb_ifnum_to_if() fails to find the interface descriptor.
This patch adds a NULL pointer check after calling usb_ifnum_to_if() in
snd_usb_mixer_controls_badd() to prevent the dereference.
This issue was discovered by syzkaller, which triggered the bug by sending
a crafted USB device descriptor. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: free copynotify stateid in nfs4_free_ol_stateid()
Typically copynotify stateid is freed either when parent's stateid
is being close/freed or in nfsd4_laundromat if the stateid hasn't
been used in a lease period.
However, in case when the server got an OPEN (which created
a parent stateid), followed by a COPY_NOTIFY using that stateid,
followed by a client reboot. New client instance while doing
CREATE_SESSION would force expire previous state of this client.
It leads to the open state being freed thru release_openowner->
nfs4_free_ol_stateid() and it finds that it still has copynotify
stateid associated with it. We currently print a warning and is
triggerred
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 8858 at fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c:1550 nfs4_free_ol_stateid+0xb0/0x100 [nfsd]
This patch, instead, frees the associated copynotify stateid here.
If the parent stateid is freed (without freeing the copynotify
stateids associated with it), it leads to the list corruption
when laundromat ends up freeing the copynotify state later.

Deliberately don't acquire filemap invalid lock when the file is dying as
the lifecycle of f_mapping is outside the purview of KVM. Dereferencing
the mapping is *probably* fine, but there's no need to invalidate anything
as memslot deletion is responsible for zapping SPTEs, and the only code
that can access the dying file is kvm_gmem_release(), whose core code is
mutual

mm, swap: fix potential UAF issue for VMA readahead
Since commit 78524b05f1a3 ("mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device
pinning"), the common helper for allocating and preparing a folio in the
swap cache layer no longer tries to get a swap device reference
internally, because all callers of __read_swap_cache_async are already
holding a swap entry reference. The repeated swap device pinning isn't
needed on the same swap device.
Caller of VMA readahead is also holding a reference to the target entry's
swap device, but VMA readahead walks the page table, so it might encounter
swap entries from other devices, and call __read_swap_cache_async on
another device without holding a reference to it.
So it is possible to cause a UAF when swapoff of device A raced with
swapin on device B, and VMA readahead tries to read swap entries from
device A. It's not easy to trigger, but in theory, it could cause real
issues.
Make VMA readahead try to get the device reference first if the swap
device is a different one from the target entry. |
