In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma-fence: Fix potential tracepoint null pointer dereferences Trace_dma_fence_signaled, trace_dma_fence_wait_end and trace_dma_fence_destroy can all currently dereference a null fence->ops pointer after it has been reset on fence signalling. Lets use the safe string getters for most tracepoints to avoid this class of a problem, while for the signal tracepoint we move it to before ops are cleared to avoid losing the driver and timeline name information. Apart from moving it we also need to add a new tracepoint class to bypass the safe name getters since the signaled bit is already set. For dma_fence_init we also need to use the new tracepoint class since the rcu read lock is not held there, and we can do the same for the enable signaling since there we are certain the fence cannot be signaled while we are holding the lock and have even validated the fence->ops.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/radeon: fix memory leak in radeon_ring_restore() on lock failure radeon_ring_restore() takes ownership of the data buffer allocated by radeon_ring_backup(). The caller (radeon_gpu_reset()) only frees it in the non-restore branch; in the restore branch it relies on radeon_ring_restore() to free it. If radeon_ring_lock() fails, the function returned early without calling kvfree(data), leaking the ring backup buffer on every GPU reset that fails at the lock stage. During repeated GPU resets this causes cumulative kernel memory exhaustion. Free data before returning the error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: atcspi200: fix use-after-free when driver unbind DMA resource is initialized after SPI controller registration. So when driver unbind, this can trigger a use-after-free when DMA is torn down while the controller is still alive and triggers DMA transfers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hfsplus: Remove the duplicate attr inode dirty marking action Syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in [1]. If the attributes file is not loaded during system mount, a trigger occurs [1] when setxattr is executed in userspace. Remove the first mark attr inode dirty operation. [1] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f] Call Trace: hfsplus_setxattr+0x124/0x340 fs/hfsplus/xattr.c:555 hfsplus_trusted_setxattr+0x40/0x60 fs/hfsplus/xattr_trusted.c:30 __vfs_setxattr+0x43c/0x480 fs/xattr.c:218 __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x12d/0x660 fs/xattr.c:252 vfs_setxattr+0x163/0x360 fs/xattr.c:339 do_setxattr fs/xattr.c:654 [inline]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: atmel-sha204a - fix blocking and non-blocking rng logic The blocking and non-blocking paths were failing to provide valid entropy due to improper buffer management. Reading the buffer starting from byte 1, only fetch the 32 bytes of random data from the return message. Tested on an Atmel SHA204A device. Before (here for blocking), tests showed repeatedly reading reduced bytes. $ head -c 32 /dev/hwrng | hexdump -C 00000000 02 28 85 b3 47 40 f2 ee 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.(..G@..........| 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| 00000020 After, the result will be similar to the following: $ head -c 32 /dev/hwrng | hexdump -C 00000000 5a fc 3f 13 14 68 fe 06 68 0a bd 04 83 6e 09 69 |Z.?..h..h....n.i| 00000010 75 ff cf 87 10 84 3b c9 c1 df ae eb 45 53 4c c3 |u.....;.....ESL.| 00000020
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: fix crash in bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr for negative dentries bpf_set_dentry_xattr and bpf_remove_dentry_xattr BPF kfuncs attempt to lock the inode of the supplied dentry without checking if it is NULL. If a negative dentry is passed (e.g. from security_inode_create), d_inode(dentry) returns NULL, and inode_lock(inode) will cause a NULL pointer dereference. Trivially fix this by adding a NULL check for inode before attempting to lock it, returning -EINVAL if it is NULL. Additionally, drop WARN_ON(!inode) in bpf_xattr_read_permission() and bpf_xattr_write_permission(). These warnings could be triggered by passing a negative dentry to bpf_get_dentry_xattr() or the _locked variants of the xattr kfuncs, potentially causing a Denial of Service on systems with panic_on_warn enabled. Instead, simply return -EINVAL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: evm: terminate and bound the evm_xattrs read buffer evm_read_xattrs() allocates size + 1 bytes, fills them from the list of enabled xattrs, and then passes strlen(temp) to simple_read_from_buffer(). When no configured xattrs are enabled, the fill loop stores nothing and temp[0] remains uninitialized, so strlen() reads beyond initialized memory. Explicitly terminate the buffer after allocation, use snprintf() for each formatted line, and pass the accumulated length, without risk of truncation, to simple_read_from_buffer().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mlx5: Fix devx subscribe-event unwind NULL dereference MLX5_IB_METHOD_DEVX_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT() links event_sub into sub_list before initializing the fields used by the shared error path. If eventfd_ctx_fdget() then fails, the unwind path dereferences event_sub->ev_file in uverbs_uobject_put() and calls subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() with an unset xa_key_level1. subscribe_event_xa_alloc() creates the XA entry exactly once for a given key_level1, on the first occurrence of that key. The unwind path must therefore call subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() exactly once for it as well. Enforce that by adding devx_key_in_sub_list() and calling subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() only when the last matching pending entry is being cleaned up.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/syncobj: Fix memory leak in drm_syncobj_find_fence() Commit 18226ba52159 ("drm/syncobj: reject invalid flags in drm_syncobj_find_fence") forgot to take into account the fact that drm_syncobj_find() takes a reference to syncobj and returns early without dropping the reference, leading to memory leaks. Reported by: Sam Spencer <sam.spencer@arm.com>
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm: limit target bio polling to one shot dm_poll_bio() is the ->poll_bio() callback for a stacked dm device. The caller only knows about the dm queue, so it may decide to do a spinning poll if it thinks a single queue is being polled. Passing those flags unchanged to the mapped clone lets blk_mq_poll() spin on a target queue from inside dm_poll_bio(). With io_uring IOPOLL on a dm-stripe target this can keep a task in dm_poll_bio() -> bio_poll() -> blk_mq_poll() long enough to trigger an RCU CPU stall, before io_uring gets back to io_iopoll_check() and its need_resched() check. Keep dm's ->poll_bio() bounded by forcing one-shot polling for target bios. The caller can invoke dm_poll_bio() again if it wants to keep polling, and it also gets a chance to reap completions or reschedule between passes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Bound synthetic-field strings with seq_buf The synthetic field helpers build a prefixed synthetic variable name and a generated hist command in fixed MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL buffers. The current code appends those strings with raw strcat(), so long key lists, field names, or saved filters can run past the end of the staging buffers. Build both strings with seq_buf and propagate -E2BIG if either the synthetic variable name or the generated command exceeds MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL. This keeps the existing tracing-side limit while using the helper intended for bounded command construction. [ sdr: Moved struct seq_buf *s for upside-down x-mas tree formatting ]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix log flood after cmd_mbox failure hns_roce_cmd_mbox() is the command interface between driver and hardware. When hardware is abnormal, the unlimited error printings after hns_roce_cmd_mbox() failure will cause log flood and even system crash. Replace ibdev_err() and ibdev_warn() with their ratelimited versions in the error handling path after hns_roce_cmd_mbox() (and its wrappers hns_roce_create_hw_ctx/hns_roce_destroy_hw_ctx) fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet-tcp: fix page fragment cache leak in error path In nvmet_tcp_alloc_queue(), when a connection is closed during the allocation process (e.g., nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock() returns -ENOTCONN), the error handling jumps to out_destroy_sq and then to out_ida_remove without draining the page fragment cache. Although nvmet_tcp_free_cmd() is called in some error paths to release individual page fragments, the underlying page cache reference held by queue->pf_cache is never released. The first allocation using pf_cache is the call to nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmd() for queue->connect, which happens after ida_alloc() returns successfully. This results in a page leak each time a connection fails during allocation, which could lead to memory exhaustion over time if connections are repeatedly opened and closed. Fix this by calling page_frag_cache_drain() before freeing the queue structure in the out_ida_remove label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_bpf: prevent unbounded recursion in offload rollback Quan Sun reported [1] a stack overflow in cls_bpf_offload_cmd(). Reproducer on netdevsim: add a skip_sw cls_bpf filter, set the bpf_tc_accept debugfs knob to 0, then `tc filter replace`. The replace calls tc_setup_cb_replace() which fails. cls_bpf_offload_cmd() then swaps prog/oldprog and recursively calls itself to roll back. But bpf_tc_accept=0 makes the rollback fail too, which triggers yet another rollback frame with the same arguments, and so on until the stack is exhausted. bpf_tc_accept is just a convenient knob for the reproducer. Any driver whose tc_setup_cb_replace() fails twice in a row can hit the same loop, so this is not a netdevsim-only issue. Two ways to fix it: 1) Have the rollback call tc_setup_cb_add() on oldprog instead of re-entering cls_bpf_offload_cmd(). 2) Mark the rollback frame with a flag and skip a second-level rollback from inside it. Go with (2). It is the smaller change and keeps the original behaviour: the rollback still goes through tc_setup_cb_replace(), so the driver gets one real chance to restore its state. If that attempt also fails, we just return the original error instead of recursing. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/ce5a6005-3c5e-4696-9e05-eba9461dc860@std.uestc.edu.cn/T/#u
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpu: host1x: Allow entries in BO caches to be freed When a buffer object is pinned via host1x_bo_pin() with a cache, the resulting mapping is kept in the cache so it can be reused on subsequent pins. Each mapping held a reference to the underlying host1x_bo (taken in tegra_bo_pin / gather_bo_pin), so as long as a mapping was cached, the bo itself could not be freed. However, the only way to remove the cached mapping was through the free path of the buffer object. This meant that if a bo got cached, it could never get freed again. Resolve the circularity by holding a weak reference to the bo from the cache side. This is done by having the .pin callbacks not bump the bo's refcount -- instead the common Host1x bo code does so, except for the cache reference. Also move the remove-cache-mapping-on-free code into a common function inside Host1x code. This is only called from the TegraDRM GEM buffers since those are the only ones that can be cached at the moment.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dax/kmem: account for partial discontiguous resource upon removal When dev_dax_kmem_probe() partially succeeds (at least one range is mapped) but a subsequent range fails request_mem_region() or add_memory_driver_managed(), the probe silently continues, ultimately returning success, but with the corresponding range resource NULL'ed out. dev_dax_kmem_remove() iterates over all dax_device ranges regardless of if the underlying resource exists. When remove_memory() is called later, it returns 0 because the memory was never added which causes dev_dax_kmem_remove() to incorrectly assume the (nonexistent) resource can be removed and attempts cleanup on a NULL pointer. Fix this by skipping these ranges altogether, noting that these cases are considered success, such that the cleanup is still reached when all actually-added ranges are successfully removed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock in read error recovery path raid1d and raid10d may resubmit a split md cloned bio while handling a read error. In this case, resubmitting the bio can lead to a deadlock if the array is suspended before md_handle_request() acquires an active_io reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live(). Since the cloned bio already holds an active_io reference, trying to acquire another reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live() can lead to a deadlock while the array is suspended. Fix this by using percpu_ref_get() for md cloned bios.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid1,raid10: fix bio accounting for split md cloned bios Use md_cloned_bio() to control bio accounting instead of relying on r1bio_existed in raid1 or the io_accounting flag in raid10. The previous logic does not reliably reflect whether a bio is an md cloned bio. When a failed bio is split and resubmitted via bio_submit_split_bioset() on the error path, this can lead to either double accounting for md cloned bios, or missing accounting for bios returned from bio_submit_split_bioset() Fix this by using md_cloned_bio() to detect md cloned bios and skip accounting accordingly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by incrementing rdev->nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror. err_handle's cleanup loop will only decrements for k < i and r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped, leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf() refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0. Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: liveupdate: fix TOCTOU race in luo_session_retrieve() Extend the scope of the rwsem_read lock in luo_session_retrieve() to overlap with the acquisition of the session mutex. This prevents a concurrent thread from releasing and freeing the session between the lookup and the mutex lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: liveupdate: fix u-a-f in luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish() In luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish(), reorder module_put() and xa_erase() to ensure the file handler module remains pinned while its operations are being accessed. Specifically, luo_get_id() dereferences fh->ops->get_id, so the module reference must be held until after xa_erase() (which calls luo_get_id) completes. For luo_file_finish(), this requires moving the module_put() call out of the luo_file_finish_one() helper and into the main loop of luo_file_finish() itself.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_h_verify_tkip_mic() In ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_h_verify_tkip_mic(), the call to ath12k_dp_rx_check_nwifi_hdr_len_valid() may return false when the NWIFI header length is invalid, causing the function to abort early with -EINVAL. When this happens, the error propagates to ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_h_defrag(), which clears first_frag by setting it to NULL. As a result, the corresponding MSDU is no longer referenced by the defragmentation path and is never freed. This leads to a memory leak for the affected MSDU on this error path. Proper cleanup is required to ensure the MSDU is released when header validation fails during TKIP MIC verification. Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.115823.3
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix NULL deref in change_sta_links for unready link _ieee80211_set_active_links() calls _ieee80211_link_use_channel() for each newly-added link and WARN_ON_ONCE()s if it fails. The call uses assign_on_failure=true, which allows mac80211 to continue despite driver failures, but when a mac80211-level channel validation fails (e.g., combinations check, DFS, or no available radio), drv_assign_vif_chanctx() is never reached. Since ath12k_mac_vdev_create() is only called from that path, arvif->is_created remains false and arvif->ar remains NULL for the failed link. The subsequent drv_change_sta_links() call reaches ath12k_mac_op_change_sta_links(), which allocates an arsta and sets ahsta->links_map |= BIT(link_id) for the broken link before checking whether the link is ready. When the vdev was never created, only station_add() is skipped, but the link remains in links_map. Any subsequent operation iterating links_map and dereferencing arvif->ar without a NULL check will crash. Two observed examples are NULL deref in ath12k_mac_ml_station_remove() on disconnect and in ath12k_mac_op_set_key() when wpa_supplicant installs PTK keys.

This prevents the broken link from entering links_map, so all subsequent operations iterating the bitmap are protected. The reliability of arvif->is_created across all error paths is ensured by the preceding patch. Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.115823.3
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext2: fix ignored return value of generic_write_sync() Fix ext2_dio_write_iter() to propagate the error returned by generic_write_sync() instead of silently discarding it, which could cause write(2) to return success to userspace on O_SYNC/O_DSYNC files even when the sync failed. The correct pattern, already used in ext2_dax_write_iter() in the same file and in ext4, xfs, f2fs among others, is: if (ret > 0) ret = generic_write_sync(iocb, ret); Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. [JK: Reflect also filemap_write_and_wait() return value]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject exclusive maps for bpf_map_elem iterators Exclusive maps (aka excl_prog_hash) are meant to be reachable only from the single program whose hash matches. This is enforced by check_map_prog_compatibility() when the map is referenced from a program such as signed BPF loaders. A bpf_map_elem iterator, however, binds its target map at attach time in bpf_iter_attach_map() instead of referencing it from the program, so the exclusivity check is never reached. On top of that, the iterator exposes the map value as a writable buffer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix fast commit wait/wake bit mapping on 64-bit On 64-bit, ext4 dynamic inode states live in the upper half of i_flags, and ext4_test_inode_state() applies the corresponding +32 offset. The fast-commit wait and wake paths open-coded the wait key with the raw EXT4_STATE_* value. Add small helpers for the state wait word and bit, and use them for the FC_COMMITTING and FC_FLUSHING_DATA waits so the wait key follows the same mapping as the state helpers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: always resume_all after suspend_all Need to restore any good queues even if the suspend_all failed for some. Always run remove_queue as that will schedule a GPU reset is removing the queue fails. v2: move resume_all after remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: of: reserved_mem: avoid post-init UAF when alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails The global pointer 'reserved_mem' continues to reference the reserved_mem_array which lives in __initdata if alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails. of_reserved_mem_lookup() is exported for post-init use, that would dereference freed memory and trigger a use-after-free. So reset reserved_mem_count to 0 when alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: rebase copied fsdlm LVB pointers in locking_state The locking_state debugfs iterator snapshots struct ocfs2_lock_res by value under ocfs2_dlm_tracking_lock and later formats that copy in ocfs2_dlm_seq_show(). That is fine for the inline fields, but the userspace fsdlm stack stores the LVB through lksb_fsdlm.sb_lvbptr. Once the iterator drops the tracking lock, a copied non-NULL sb_lvbptr still points into the original lockres owner, so teardown can free that container before the debugfs dump walks the raw LVB bytes. Rebase the copied sb_lvbptr to the copied l_lksb before dumping the raw LVB. The seq snapshot already carries the inline LVB storage reserved in struct ocfs2_dlm_lksb, so the debugfs reader can dump the copied bytes without borrowing the original lockres lifetime. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: locking_state reader: lockres teardown: 1. ocfs2_dlm_seq_start()/next() 1. file release or another owner copies struct ocfs2_lock_res teardown reaches 2. ocfs2_dlm_seq_show() formats ocfs2_lock_res_free() the copied row 2. the lockres is removed from the 3. ocfs2_dlm_lvb() follows the tracking list copied sb_lvbptr 3. the owner frees the original lockres container Validation reproduced this kernel report: KASAN slab-use-after-free in ocfs2_dlm_seq_show+0x1bd/0x430 RIP: 0033:0x7f8ec4b1e29d The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88810a1e0800 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-1k of size 1024 The buggy address is located 368 bytes inside of freed 1024-byte region [ffff88810a1e0800, ffff88810a1e0c00) Read of size 1 Call trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x66/0xa0 print_report+0xce/0x630 ocfs2_dlm_seq_show+0x1bd/0x430 (fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c:3137) srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 __virt_addr_valid+0x19f/0x330 kasan_report+0xe0/0x110 seq_read_iter+0x29d/0x790 seq_read+0x20a/0x280 find_held_lock+0x2b/0x80 rcu_read_unlock+0x18/0x70 full_proxy_read+0x9e/0xd0 vfs_read+0x12c/0x590 ksys_read+0xd2/0x170 do_user_addr_fault+0x65a/0x890 do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Allocated by task stack: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 __kasan_kmalloc+0xaa/0xb0 ocfs2_file_open+0x13e/0x300 do_dentry_open+0x233/0x7f0 vfs_open+0x5a/0x1b0 path_openat+0x66d/0x1540 do_file_open+0x186/0x2b0 do_sys_openat2+0xce/0x150 __x64_sys_openat+0xd0/0x140 do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Freed by task stack: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x3b/0x60 __kasan_slab_free+0x5f/0x80 kfree+0x313/0x590 ocfs2_file_release+0x138/0x260 __fput+0x1df/0x4b0 fput_close_sync+0xd2/0x170 __x64_sys_close+0x55/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open debug_lockres_open() copies inode->i_private into struct debug_lockres and debug_lockres_release() later drops that pointer with dlm_put(). That only works if open successfully pins the struct dlm_ctxt. Today open calls dlm_grab(dlm) but ignores its return value. Once the last domain unregister has removed the context from dlm_domains, dlm_grab() returns NULL, yet open still stores the raw pointer and returns success. The later release path is outside the debugfs removal barrier, so it can call dlm_put() after dlm_free_ctxt_mem() has freed the context. KASAN reports this as a slab-use-after-free in dlm_put() called from debug_lockres_release(). Fail the open when dlm_grab() cannot acquire the reference and unwind the seq_file private state before returning. That keeps locking_state from handing out a file descriptor whose release path does not own the dlm_ctxt. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: locking_state debugfs open: last domain unregister: 1. debug_lockres_open() reads 1. dlm_unregister_domain() calls inode->i_private. dlm_complete_dlm_shutdown(). 2. debug_lockres_open() calls 2. shutdown removes the dlm_ctxt from dlm_grab(dlm) and gets NULL. dlm_domains. 3. open still stores the raw dlm 3. final teardown reaches pointer in dl->dl_ctxt and dlm_free_ctxt_mem() and frees it. returns success. 4. debug_lockres_release() later calls dlm_put(dl->dl_ctxt).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix OOB read during CQ MR registration Sashiko pointed out an unrelated bug during a previous patch: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260512183852.614045-1-jmoroni%40google.com This change fixes the bug by eliminating the cqmr->split field which was not being set properly and instead just checks the CQ resize feature flag directly. The cqmr->split field essentially tracks whether IRDMA_FEATURE_CQ_RESIZE is set, but it was not being set until CQ creation time, which is _after_ CQ memory registration (the only other place where it is referenced). As a result, it would always be false during MR registration and would therefore cause irdma_handle_q_mem to populate cqmr->shadow even for GEN_2 HW and beyond: cqmr->shadow = (dma_addr_t)arr[req->cq_pages]; The issue is that for GEN_2 and beyond, req->cq_pages may be exactly equal to iwmr->page_cnt and therefore equal to the size of arr, which would cause an OOB read by one.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook After commit 12e9e3cd03b5 ("simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache"), kernfs_xattr_set() and kernfs_xattr_get() compute the cache via kernfs_root(kn) before any other check. kernfs_root(kn) walks kn->__parent first and falls back to kn->dir.root, both of which are NULL on a freshly kmem_cache_zalloc()'d kn. kn->__parent was being set in kernfs_new_node() after __kernfs_new_node() returned, and kn->dir.root is set even later by kernfs_create_dir_ns() / kernfs_create_empty_dir(). The LSM kernfs_init_security hook is invoked from inside __kernfs_new_node(), before either field has been initialized. selinux_kernfs_init_security() ends with kernfs_xattr_set(kn, XATTR_NAME_SELINUX, ...). kernfs_root(kn) then returns NULL, and &((struct kernfs_root *)NULL)->xa_cache evaluates to offsetof(struct kernfs_root, xa_cache) which faults: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000e0 RIP: 0010:simple_xattr_set+0x27/0x8b0 Call Trace: kernfs_xattr_set+0x63/0xb0 selinux_kernfs_init_security+0x13b/0x270 security_kernfs_init_security+0x36/0xc0 __kernfs_new_node+0x182/0x290 kernfs_new_node+0x80/0xc0 kernfs_create_dir_ns+0x2b/0xa0 cgroup_create+0x116/0x380 cgroup_mkdir+0x7c/0x1a0 Reproduces deterministically at PID 1 (systemd) on an SELinux-enabled distro. The first cgroup mkdir under /sys/fs/cgroup with a labelled parent panics the kernel. The LSM hook's contract is that the kn_dir argument is the parent of the new kn, so kn->__parent should already point at kn_dir when the hook runs. Move kernfs_get(parent) and rcu_assign_pointer of kn->__parent from kernfs_new_node() into __kernfs_new_node() right before the security hook, and unwind the parent reference on the err_out4 path. kernfs_root(kn) then takes its parent branch during the hook and returns parent->dir.root, which is the correct root. This also closes the same-shape latent bug in kernfs_xattr_get() (which today is hidden only by kernfs_iattrs_noalloc() returning NULL on a fresh kn).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read snd_seq_read() copies a queued variable-length event header to userspace before expanding the payload. Queued variable-length events use SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_CHAINED internally, and data.ext.ptr points at the first extension cell. The read side strips SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_* bits from data.ext.len before the copy, but it leaves data.ext.ptr untouched. A userspace sequencer client can therefore write a direct variable event to itself and read back the extension-cell kernel address from the returned header. Clear the temporary header pointer before copy_to_user(). The original queued event remains unchanged and is still passed to snd_seq_expand_var_event(), so payload expansion keeps using the internal chain.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locks NMI and tracepoint BPF programs can re-enter the per-CPU or global LRU lock that bpf_lru_pop_free()/push_free() already hold on the same CPU, AA-deadlocking. Lockdep reports "inconsistent {INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI}" on &l->lock (syzbot c69a0a2c816716f1e0d5) and "possible recursive locking detected" on &loc_l->lock (syzbot 18b26edb69b2e19f3b33). Prior trylock and rqspinlock based fixes (see links) were nacked because compromised on reliability. This patch converts every LRU lock site to rqspinlock_t and adds a recovery path for some failure windows to avoid node leaks. Failure recovery: - *_pop_free top-level: return NULL; prealloc_lru_pop() already treats that as no-free-element (-ENOMEM). - Cross-CPU steal: skip the victim's locked loc_l, try next CPU. - Post-steal local lock fail: publish stolen node to lockless per-CPU free_llist; next pop on this CPU picks it up. - push_free fail: mark node pending_free=1. __local_list_flush(), __local_list_pop_pending() reclaim the node from pending_list. __bpf_lru_list_shrink_inactive() reclaims the node from inactive list. Nodes from active list are reclaimed by __bpf_lru_list_shrink() or after __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active() demotes it to the inactive.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: bound S1G TIM PVB walk to the TIM element ieee80211_s1g_check_tim() parses the S1G Partial Virtual Bitmap (PVB) of a received TIM element. The TIM is handed in as the element payload: ieee802_11_parse_elems_full() stores elems->tim = elem->data and elems->tim_len = elem->datalen (net/mac80211/parse.c), so the valid bytes are [tim, tim + tim_len). When walking the encoded blocks the function passes the walker an end sentinel of (const u8 *)tim + tim_len + 2, i.e. two bytes past the end of the element. ieee80211_s1g_find_target_block() loops while (ptr + 1 <= end) and dereferences ptr (and the per-mode ieee80211_s1g_len_*() helpers read *ptr), so it can read up to two bytes beyond the TIM element -- an out-of-bounds read of adjacent skb/heap data when the TIM is the last element in the frame. The +2 appears to account for the element id/len header, but tim already points past that header at the element payload, so the addend is wrong. Pass the correct element end, (const u8 *)tim + tim_len.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_task_from_vpid() bpf_task_from_vpid() looks up a task in the pid namespace of the current task, via find_task_by_vpid(): find_task_by_vpid(vpid) find_task_by_pid_ns(vpid, task_active_pid_ns(current)) find_pid_ns(nr, ns) -> idr_find(&ns->idr, nr) cgroup_skb programs run in softirq, which may interrupt a task that is itself in do_exit().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images() A recursive locking deadlock can occur in the firmware loader's power management notification handler. During system suspend or hibernation preparation, fw_pm_notify() calls device_cache_fw_images(). This function acquires fw_lock to set the firmware cache state to FW_LOADER_START_CACHE and then iterates over all devices using dpm_for_each_dev() while still holding the lock. For each device, dev_cache_fw_image() schedules asynchronous work to cache the firmware. If memory allocation for the async work entry fails (e.g., in out-of-memory conditions), async_schedule_node_domain() falls back to executing the work function synchronously in the current thread. The synchronous execution path (__async_dev_cache_fw_image() -> cache_firmware() -> request_firmware() -> assign_fw()) attempts to acquire fw_lock again. Since the current thread already holds fw_lock, this results in a recursive locking deadlock. Fix this by releasing fw_lock immediately after updating the cache state and before calling dpm_for_each_dev(). The lock is only needed to protect the state update. Concurrent firmware requests will correctly see the FW_LOADER_START_CACHE state and use the piggyback mechanism, which is independently protected by its own fwc->name_lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: unregister PM notifier on watchdog unregister watchdog_register_device() registers wdd->pm_nb when WDOG_NO_PING_ON_SUSPEND is set, but watchdog_unregister_device() does not remove it. This leaves an embedded notifier block on the PM notifier chain after the watchdog device has been unregistered. A later suspend/resume notification can then call watchdog_pm_notifier() with a stale watchdog_device pointer, or at minimum after wdd->wd_data has been cleared by watchdog_dev_unregister(). Unregister the PM notifier before tearing down the watchdog device.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vmalloc: fix NULL pointer dereference in is_vm_area_hugepages() find_vm_area() can return NULL if the given address is not a valid vmalloc area. Check the return value before dereferencing it to avoid a kernel crash.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix resource leak in probe error path When pcim_iomap_region() or devm_kmemdup() fail, the code returns directly without cleaning up previously allocated resources: - mt76_device allocated by mt76_alloc_device() - pci irq vectors allocated by pci_alloc_irq_vectors() Fix this by jumping to the existing error cleanup path instead of returning directly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: validate skb length in testmode query In mt7925_tm_query(), the response skb from mt76_mcu_send_and_get_msg() is used in a memcpy without validating its length: memcpy(evt_resp, skb->data + 8, MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN); where MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN is 512. If the firmware returns a response shorter than 520 bytes (8 + 512), this reads beyond the skb data buffer. The over-read data is then returned to userspace via nla_put() in mt7925_testmode_dump(). Add a length check before the memcpy to ensure the skb contains sufficient data.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in mt7996_mac_write_txwi_80211() For injected frames (e.g. via radiotap), mac80211 can pass info->control.vif = NULL, as explicitly noted in struct ieee80211_tx_info. Check vif pointer before executing ieee80211_vif_is_mld() in mt7996_mac_write_txwi_80211 routine in order to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code The code that gets the frame buffer mode from OF has 'use after free', 'buffer overrun' and memory leaks. info->edid_data isn't free if the probe functions fail or if pd->def_mode is set. If both the CRT and PANEL are enabled info->edid_data is used after being freed and is freed twice. The string returned by of_get_property(np, "mode", &len) is just written over either the static "640x480-16@60" or the module parameter string without any regard for the length (which is most likely longer). Use kstrump() for the OF mode and free everything before freeing 'info.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock waiting for ticket during data relocation When performing data relocation on a zoned filesystem, BTRFS can deadlock in handle_reserve_tickets(). The relocation process is waiting on a space reservation ticket that can never be fulfilled, because the relocation itself is the operation responsible for freeing up that space. Fix this by introducing a new flush state, BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_ZONED_RELOCATION, specifically for data chunk allocation during zoned relocation. Like BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_FREE_SPACE_INODE, this state uses priority_reclaim_data_space() instead of the normal flushing path, which avoids re-entering the relocation code and breaking the deadlock cycle. In btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand(), select this new flush state when the inode belongs to a data relocation root on a zoned filesystem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix deadlock cloning inline extent when using flushoncommit In commit b48c980b6a7e ("btrfs: fix deadlock between reflink and transaction commit when using flushoncommit") a deadlock was fixed between reflinks and transaction commits when the fs is mounted with the flushoncommit option. This happened when we had to copy an inline extent's data to the destination file. However the issue was fixed only for the case where the destination offset is 0, it missed the case when the offset is greater than zero. Fix this by ensuring we get i_size update whenever we copied an inline extent's data into the destination file. Syzbot reported this with the following trace: INFO: task kworker/u8:3:57 blocked for more than 143 seconds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix kernel BUG in ext4_write_inline_data_end When the data=journal mount option is used, the ext4_journalled_write_end() function incorrectly calls ext4_write_inline_data_end() without checking if the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is still set on the inode. If a previous attempt to convert the inline data to an extent failed (e.g. due to ENOSPC), the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is cleared, but the EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA flag remains set. In this scenario, the next call to ext4_write_begin() will not prepare the inline data xattr for writing, but ext4_journalled_write_end() will incorrectly attempt to write to it, triggering a BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size) in ext4_write_inline_data() since i_inline_size was not expanded. Fix this by ensuring that ext4_journalled_write_end() only calls ext4_write_inline_data_end() if the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is set, mirroring the behavior of ext4_write_end() and ext4_da_write_end().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: validate donor file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT Reject the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl early if the donor file does not belong to the same superblock as the original file. Currently, this validation is performed inside ext4_move_extents() by mext_check_validity(), but only after lock_two_nondirectories() has already acquired the inode locks. When the donor fd refers to a file on a different filesystem (e.g., overlayfs), this late validation creates a circular lock dependency: CPU0 (overlayfs write) CPU1 (ext4 ioctl) ---- ---- inode_lock(ovl_inode) mnt_want_write_file(filp) sb_start_write(ext4_sb) [sb_writers] backing_file_write_iter() vfs_iter_write(real_file) file_start_write(real_file) sb_start_write(ext4_sb) [blocked by freeze] lock_two_nondirectories() inode_lock(ovl_inode) [blocked] With a concurrent freeze operation holding sb_writers write side, this forms a deadlock cycle: CPU0 waits for freeze to complete, freeze waits for CPU1's sb_writers reader to exit, CPU1 waits for CPU0's inode lock. Since EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT exchanges physical extents between two files, it fundamentally requires both files to reside on the same ext4 filesystem. Moving the superblock check before any lock acquisition is both semantically correct and eliminates the circular dependency by ensuring that cross-filesystem donor fds are rejected before sb_writers or inode locks are taken.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_qca: fix NULL pointer dereference in qca_setup() for non-serdev device hu->serdev is NULL for hci_uart attached via non-serdev paths, but qca_setup() unconditionally calls serdev_device_get_drvdata(hu->serdev) and dereferences the result, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Fix by guarding the dereference with a NULL check, consistent with the rest of qca_setup().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_qca: fix NULL pointer dereference in qca_dmp_hdr() for non-serdev device hu->serdev is NULL for hci_uart attached via non-serdev paths, but qca_dmp_hdr() unconditionally dereferences hu->serdev->dev.driver->name, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Fix by guarding the dereference with a NULL check and falling back to "hci_ldisc_qca" for the non-serdev case.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btmtk: fix URB leak in alloc_mtk_intr_urb error path When btmtk_isopkt_pad() fails, the previously allocated URB is not freed, leaking the urb structure. Add usb_free_urb() before returning the error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/core: Fix FRMR aging push to queue error flow Aging pools with pinned handles requires moving handles from the active queue to a non-empty inactive queue that might fail on new page allocation, we are currently not handling the fault and leaking any mkey that fails the push. Fix by Introducing push_queue_to_queue_locked() that fills the destination's partial tail page from the source and then splices the remaining source pages onto the destination, performing no allocation. Replace the per-handle move loop in age_pinned_pool() and the open-coded splice in pool_aging_work() with calls to the helper. As the helper cannot fail under memory pressure, removing a class of GFP_ATOMIC allocations under the pool lock and simplifying the error flow.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/core: Fix FRMR set pinned push error path Add destruction of FRMR handles in case the push to the pool fails. This prevents resources leak in case pool page allocation fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: topology: Check PCM and DAI name strings before use Topology objects store several PCM and DAI names in fixed-size UAPI arrays. Other topology parser paths validate these fields with bounded strnlen() checks before using them as C strings, but the PCM and DAI paths still pass some fixed-size arrays directly to strlen(), devm_kstrdup(), DAI lookup, and diagnostic prints. A malformed topology blob with a non-NUL-terminated PCM, DAI, or stream capability name can therefore make the parser read past the end of the fixed-size field. Reject unterminated PCM and DAI name fields before consuming them as C strings.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_flow: Dont expose folded kernel pointers The flow classifier falls back to addr_fold() for fields that are missing from packet headers. In map mode, userspace controls mask, xor, rshift, addend and divisor, and can observe the resulting classid through class statistics. This allows a tc classifier in a user/network namespace to recover the 32-bit folded value of skb->sk, skb_dst() or skb_nfct(). Align with standard kernel practices for pointer hashing and replace the XOR folding with a keyed siphash (which is cryptographically secure)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: pfcp: allocate per-cpu tstats for PFCP netdevs PFCP uses dev_get_tstats64() as its ndo_get_stats64 callback, but pfcp_link_setup() does not request NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS. The net core therefore leaves dev->tstats NULL for PFCP devices. Creating a PFCP rtnetlink device can immediately ask the new netdev for stats while building the RTM_NEWLINK notification. That reaches dev_get_tstats64() and dereferences the NULL dev->tstats pointer. Set pcpu_stat_type to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS during PFCP link setup so the net core allocates the storage expected by dev_get_tstats64().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: sch_hfsc: Don't make class passive twice update_vf() is called from two places for the same class during a single dequeue when the class's child qdisc (e.g. codel/fq_codel) drops its last packets while dequeuing: 1. The child calls qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(), which, now that the child is empty, invokes hfsc_qlen_notify() -> update_vf(cl, 0, 0) and turns the class passive (cl_nactive is decremented up the hierarchy). 2. hfsc_dequeue() then calls update_vf(cl, qdisc_pkt_len(skb), cur_time) to charge the dequeued bytes. On the second call the class is already passive, but its child qdisc is still empty, so update_vf() arms go_passive again: if (cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 && cl->cl_flags & HFSC_FSC) go_passive = 1; The leaf is then skipped by the cl_nactive == 0 check inside the loop, which does not clear go_passive, so the stale go_passive propagates to the parent and decrements its cl_nactive a second time. A parent that still has other active children is driven to cl_nactive == 0 and removed from the vttree, even though those siblings are still backlogged. They are never dequeued again and the qdisc stalls. Fix this by only arming go_passive when the class is actually active, so an already-passive class no longer triggers a second passive transition. The byte accounting (cl->cl_total += len) still runs for every ancestor, so dequeued bytes continue to be counted exactly once.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event() The comment above bounce_error_event() documents that user clients should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with the original event embedded as variable-length data, while kernel clients should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with a quoted kernel pointer. However, the implementation unconditionally uses SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with data.quote.event set to the raw struct snd_seq_event pointer for all clients. When a bounce error event is delivered to a USER_CLIENT via snd_seq_read(), the kernel heap address in data.quote.event is exposed to userspace through copy_to_user() in the fixed-length branch. This is a distinct leak path from the one addressed by commit 705dd6dcbc0e ("ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read"), which sanitizes data.ext.ptr in the variable-length branch of snd_seq_read(). The bounce_error_event() leak uses fixed-length events that take the else branch where no sanitization occurs. Differentiate the bounce event by client type. For USER_CLIENT, send SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_LENGTH_VARIABLE and data.ext pointing to the original event. The variable-length path in snd_seq_event_dup() copies the event data into chained cells, and snd_seq_expand_var_event() copies only the content -- never the pointer -- to userspace. For KERNEL_CLIENT, keep the existing SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR behavior with the quoted pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size The method the driver uses to determine the size of the FIFO has a problem. What it currently does is this: It stops the SPI hardware and writes to the TX FIFO register until TX FIFO FULL asserts in the status register. But the hardware does not only have the FIFO, it also has a shift register which can hold a byte. This can be seen, when writing a byte to the FIFO (while the SPI hardware is stopped,) the TX FIFO EMPTY is still empty. So, if we have a FIFO size of 16 for example, the current method returns a 17. This is a problem, at least when using the driver in irq mode. The same size determined for the TX FIFO is also assumed for the RX FIFO. When a SPI transaction wants to write the amount of the FIFO size or more bytes, the following happens, for example with 16 bytes FIFO size: The driver stops the SPI hardware and writes 17 bytes to the TX FIFO and starts the SPI hardware and goes sleep. The hardware then shifts out 17 bytes (FIFO + shift register) and simultaneously reads bytes into the RX FIFO, but it only has 16 places, so it looses one byte. Then TX FIFO empty asserts, wakes the driver again, which has a fast path and reads 16 bytes from the RX FIFO, but before reading the last 17th byte (which is lost) it does this: sr = xspi->read_fn(xspi->regs + XSPI_SR_OFFSET); if (!(sr & XSPI_SR_RX_EMPTY_MASK)) { xilinx_spi_rx(xspi); rx_words--; } It reads the status register and checks if the RX FIFO is not empty. But it is empty in our case. So this check spins in a while loop forever locking the driver. This patch fixes the logic to determine the FIFO size.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fill first free targets[] slot during auto-discovery Any invalid endpoint decoder pointer in the target array of an active region is not allowed by cxl driver. This means cxl driver always assumes the first p->nr_targets entries of the target array in an auto-assembly region are valid. However, there are scenarios that could leave NULL endpoint decoder pointer holes in the target array. 1. When cxl_cancel_auto_attach() removes an endpoint decoder from a target array, the target slot is set to NULL. If the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, the target array will contain a NULL hole. 2. When a auto-assembly region removes an assigned endpoint decoder, if the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, always remains a NULL hole in the target array. When a NULL pointer hole exists in a region's target array, it introduces two potential problems: 1. Access an endpoint decoder via a NULL pointer. it always trigger calltrace like that. Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000008: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI RIP: 0010:cxl_calc_interleave_pos+0x26/0x810 [cxl_core] Call Trace: <TASK> cxl_region_attach+0xc50/0x2140 [cxl_core] cxl_add_to_region+0x321/0x2330 [cxl_core] discover_region+0x92/0x150 [cxl_port] device_for_each_child+0xf3/0x170 cxl_port_probe+0x150/0x200 [cxl_port] cxl_bus_probe+0x4f/0xa0 [cxl_core] really_probe+0x1c8/0x960 __driver_probe_device+0x323/0x450 driver_probe_device+0x45/0x120 __device_attach_driver+0x15d/0x280 bus_for_each_drv+0x10f/0x190 2. Not having enough valid endpoint decoders attached to an auto-assembly region. if an auto-assembly region is created with lock flag or assigned endpoint decoder with lock flag, which means assigned endpoint decoder will not be reset during detaching, they could re-attach to the auto-assembly region again. But cxl region driver relies on p->nr_targets to verify whether the required number of endpoint decoders has been attached, and NULL endpoint decoder pointers are still counted in that case. To fix above issues, adjust cxl_region_attach_auto() logic to find the first free target slot for endpoint decoder attachment, this ensures NULL holes in the target array are filled, rather than adding new endpoint decoders at the tail of the target array.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Block region delete during region creation Expand the range lock, rename it "regions_lock", to disable region deletion in the critical period between construct_region() and attach_target(), as well as the period between device_add() and registering the remove actions. Otherwise, userspace can confuse the kernel. It can violate the assumption the region stays registered through the completion of cxl_add_to_region(). It can violate the assumption that devm_add_action_or_reset() is working with a live 'struct cxl_region'. It is ok for the region to disappear outside of those windows as that mirrors device hotplug flows where the proper locks are held.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Resolve region deletion races Sungwoo noticed that the sysfs trigger to delete a region may try to delete a region multiple times. It also has no exclusion relative to the kernel releasing the region via CXL root device teardown. Instead of installing new cxl root devres actions per region, use the existing root decoder unregistration event to remove all remaining regions. An xarray of regions replaces a devres list of regions. This handles 3 separate issues with the old approach: 1/ sysfs users racing to delete the same region: no longer possible now that the regions_lock is held over the lookup and deletion. 2/ multiple actions triggering deletion of the same region: solved by erasing regions while holding @regions_lock, and only proceeding on successful erasure. 3/ userspace racing devres_release_all() to trigger the devres not found warning: solved by sysfs unregistration not requiring a release action
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: core: fix supplied_from allocations If dts property power-supplies has multiple values, then accessing to psy->supplied_from[i-1] in __power_supply_populate_supplied_from will overrun supplied_from array.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: sch_dualpi2: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen Whenever dualpi2 drops packets during peek, it calls qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will be executed even though dualpi2 still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus, mistakenly deactivates the parent's class which leads to a null-ptr-deref: [ 101.427314][ T599] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000009: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI [ 101.427755][ T599] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000048-0x000000000000004f] [ 101.428048][ T599] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 599 Comm: ping Not tainted 7.1.0-rc5-00284-gbce53c430ed7 #102 PREEMPT(full) [ 101.428400][ T599] Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 [ 101.428608][ T599] RIP: 0010:qfq_dequeue (net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1150) sch_qfq [ 101.428821][ T599] Code: 00 fc ff df 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 46 0c 00 00 4c 8d 73 48 48 89 9d b8 02 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4c 89 f2 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 2d 0c 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4c 8b All code [ 101.429348][ T599] RSP: 0018:ffff8881110df4f0 EFLAGS: 00010216 [ 101.429541][ T599] RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: dffffc0000000000 [ 101.429763][ T599] RDX: 0000000000000009 RSI: 00000024c0000000 RDI: ffff88811436c2b0 [ 101.429985][ T599] RBP: ffff88811436c000 R08: ffff88811436c280 R09: 1ffff11021277523 [ 101.430206][ T599] R10: 1ffff11021277526 R11: 1ffff11021277527 R12: 00000024c0000000 [ 101.430423][ T599] R13: ffff88811436c2b8 R14: 0000000000000048 R15: 0000000020000000 [ 101.430642][ T599] FS: 00007f61813e1c40(0000) GS:ffff8881691ef000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 101.430913][ T599] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 101.431100][ T599] CR2: 00005651650850a8 CR3: 000000010ca0b000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0 [ 101.431320][ T599] PKRU: 55555554 [ 101.431433][ T599] Call Trace: [ 101.431544][ T599] <TASK> [ 101.431628][ T599] __qdisc_run (net/sched/sch_generic.c:322 net/sched/sch_generic.c:427 net/sched/sch_generic.c:445) [ 101.431792][ T599] ? dev_qdisc_enqueue (./include/trace/events/qdisc.h:49 (discriminator 22) net/core/dev.c:4176 (discriminator 22)) [ 101.431941][ T599] __dev_queue_xmit (./include/net/pkt_sched.h:120 ./include/net/pkt_sched.h:117 net/core/dev.c:4292 net/core/dev.c:4831) Fix this by only calling qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog in peek after the qlen is restored.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mana: initialize gdma queue id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID mana_gd_create_mana_wq_cq() leaves queue->id as 0 (from kzalloc_obj()) until mana_create_wq_obj() assigns the firmware-returned id. If creation fails before that, cleanup calls mana_gd_destroy_cq() with id 0, NULLing gc->cq_table[0] and silently breaking whichever real CQ owns that slot. Initialize queue->id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID right after allocation, matching mana_gd_create_eq(). The existing (id >= max_num_cqs) guard then short-circuits cleanly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: t7xx: check skb_clone in control TX t7xx_port_ctrl_tx() clones each skb fragment before passing it to the port transmit path. The clone is used immediately to set cloned->len, so an skb_clone() failure results in a NULL pointer dereference. Check the clone before using it. If previous fragments were already queued, preserve the driver's existing partial-write behavior by returning the number of bytes submitted so far.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: avoid stale FIFO cells during resize snd_seq_fifo_resize() still needs to publish the replacement pool before it waits for FIFO users. A blocking snd_seq_read() holds f->use_lock while it sleeps, so concurrent senders must be able to queue to the new pool and wake that reader instead of failing against a closing old pool. However, snd_seq_fifo_event_in() duplicates an event before it takes f->lock, and snd_seq_read() can dequeue a cell and later call snd_seq_fifo_cell_putback() if copy_to_user() or snd_seq_expand_var_event() fails. If resize swaps f->pool and detaches oldhead in between, either path can relink an old-pool cell after the snapshot. That stale cell sits outside the drained oldhead list, keeps oldpool->counter elevated, and can leave snd_seq_pool_delete() waiting for the retired pool to drain. Keep the existing swap-before-wait ordering in snd_seq_fifo_resize(), but reject stale cells before any FIFO relink. Revalidate event-in cells under f->lock and retry them against the published replacement pool, and free stale putback cells instead of linking them back into the FIFO. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: resize path: relink path: 1. Allocate newpool. 1. Take f->use_lock. 2. Swap f->pool to newpool and 2. Duplicate or dequeue an old-pool detach oldhead. cell before oldpool closes. 3. Mark oldpool closing and 3. Reach a later relink point after wait for FIFO users. resize published newpool. 4. Free oldhead and delete 4. Relink the old-pool cell after oldpool. resize detached oldhead. 5. Drop f->use_lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/bnxt_re: Avoid displaying the kernel pointer While dumping the info on MR using the rdma tool, we dump the mr_hwq which is a kernel pointer. There is no need to expose this value for end user. So avoid it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix stainfo check in rtw_aes_decrypt The null-pointer-guard was incorrect, returning _FAIL on valid pointer. Invert the guard, so it returns _FAIL on invalid pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: mtk-adsp: fix UAF during device teardown When the SOF audio driver fails to initialize (e.g. firmware boot timeout), its devres unwind frees the snd_sof_dev object that the mailbox client (mtk-adsp-ipc) reaches via chan->cl->rx_callback. The mtk-adsp-mailbox shutdown clears the mailbox command registers but leaves the IRQ line unmasked, so a late interrupt can still queue a threaded handler after mbox_free_channel() had cleared chan->cl, and mbox_chan_received_data() would then trigger UAF: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sof_ipc3_validate_fw_version sof_ipc3_validate_fw_version sof_ipc3_do_rx_work sof_ipc3_rx_msg mt8196_dsp_handle_request mtk_adsp_ipc_recv mbox_chan_received_data mtk_adsp_mbox_isr irq_thread_fn Freed by task ...: kfree devres_release_all really_probe ... (sof-audio-of-mt8196 probe failure) The crash was observed roughly three seconds after the failed probe. disable_irq() in shutdown and enable_irq() in startup. disable_irq() also waits for any in-flight interrupts, so by the time mbox_free_channel() proceeds to clear chan->cl no rx_callback can run. In addition, request the IRQ with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN so it stays masked between probe and the first client bind - otherwise an early interrupt can crash on chan->cl == NULL in mbox_chan_received_data().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: most: video: avoid double free on video register failure comp_register_videodev() allocates a video_device with video_device_alloc() and releases it if video_register_device() fails. This can double free the video_device when __video_register_device() reaches device_register() and that call fails: video_register_device() -> __video_register_device() -> device_register() fails -> put_device(&vdev->dev) -> v4l2_device_release() -> vdev->release(vdev) -> video_device_release(vdev) comp_register_videodev() -> video_device_release(mdev->vdev) Use video_device_release_empty() while registering the device so that registration failure paths do not free mdev->vdev through vdev->release(). comp_register_videodev() then releases mdev->vdev exactly once on failure. Restore video_device_release() after successful registration so the registered device keeps its normal lifetime handling. This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: magnetometer: ak8975: fix potential kernel stack memory leak Currently in the AK8975 driver there are four instances where potential uninitialized kernel stack memory leaks can occur. If i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() returns a value less than the size of the buffer, uninitialized bytes are retained in the buffer and later the buffer is passed on to IIO buffers, potentially leaking memory to userspace. Fix this by adding checks whether the return value of the function is equal to the size of the buffer and subsequently if the value is lesser than zero to distinguish from a returned error code.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: accel: mma8452: handle I2C read error(s) in mma8452_read() Currently, If i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() fails but mma8452_set_runtime_pm_state() succeeds, mma8452_read() returns 0. As a result, the caller mma8452_read_raw() assumes the read was successful and proceeds to use a buffer containing uninitialized stack memory. Add proper checking of the I2C read return value and propagate errors to the caller.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: Properly free struct axi_dmac_desc Use axi_dmac_free_desc() to free fully the descriptor at fail path when call axi_dmac_alloc_desc() in axi_dmac_prep_peripheral_dma_vec().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: use DMA pool to manange DMA descriptor For architectures like Microblaze or arm64 (where this IP is used), DMA_DIRECT_REMAP is set which means that dma_alloc_coherent() might remap (and hence vmalloc()) some memory. This became visible in a design where dma_direct_use_pool() is not possible. With the above, when calling dma_free_coherent(), vunmap() would be called from softirq context and thus leading to a BUG(). To fix it, use a dma pool that is allocated in .device_alloc_chan_resources() and allocate blocks from it. The key point is that now dma_pool_free() is used in axi_dmac_free_desc() to free the blocks and that just frees the blocks from the pool in the sense they can be used again. In other words, no actual call to dma_free_coherent() happens. That only happens when destroying the pool in axi_dmac_free_chan_resources() which does not happen in any interrupt context.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xprtrdma: Initialize re_id before removal registration rpcrdma_create_id() registers ep->re_rn with the rpcrdma ib_client before returning the new rdma_cm_id to rpcrdma_ep_create(). However rpcrdma_ep_create() currently stores that pointer in ep->re_id only after rpcrdma_create_id() returns. A local administrator can race an NFS/RDMA mount against RDMA device removal. If rpcrdma_remove_one() observes the just-registered notification before rpcrdma_ep_create() assigns ep->re_id, rpcrdma_ep_removal_done() calls trace_xprtrdma_device_removal(NULL). The tracepoint dereferences id->device->name and copies id->route.addr.dst_addr, so the callback can crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference. Store the rdma_cm_id in ep->re_id immediately before publishing ep->re_rn. The existing error path still destroys the id directly if registration fails; ep is then freed by the caller without using ep->re_id. Remove the later duplicate assignment in rpcrdma_ep_create().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xprtrdma: Check frwr_wp_create() during connect frwr_wp_create() creates the singleton Memory Region used to encode padding for Write chunks whose payload length is not XDR-aligned. Its failure paths return a negative errno and leave ep->re_write_pad_mr set to NULL. rpcrdma_xprt_connect() currently ignores that return value. If frwr_wp_create() fails after the rest of the connection setup succeeds, xprt_rdma_connect_worker() treats the connection attempt as successful and sets XPRT_CONNECTED. A later NFS/RDMA read with a non-4-byte-aligned receive page length reaches rpcrdma_encode_write_list(), passes the NULL write-pad MR to encode_rdma_segment(), and dereferences it. This is locally triggerable on an NFS/RDMA client after a connect or reconnect hits a local MR allocation, DMA-map, MR-map, or post-send failure; a remote peer alone cannot force the local MR setup failure. Check the return value and fail the connect as -ENOTCONN, matching the adjacent setup failures. This keeps XPRT_CONNECTED clear and lets the normal reconnect path retry.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fix NULL pointer dereference in unpack_pdb pdb->dfa could be NULL if unpack_dfa fails, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fail policy unpack on accept2 allocation failure unpack_pdb() may need to allocate a missing ACCEPT2 table for older policy data. If that allocation failed, it set an error message but jumped to the success path, returning a policydb with the required table missing. Return -ENOMEM through the normal failure path when the ACCEPT2 allocation fails. Remove the now-unused out label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: release exe file resources on path failure get_current_exe_path() takes both an exe_file reference and a path reference before resolving the path name. If aa_path_name() failed, it returned immediately and leaked both references. Route the failure through the common cleanup path so fput() and path_put() always run after the references are acquired.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regcache: Do not overwrite error code when finalizing cache after error During regcache initialization, if an error occurs in the cache_ops->populate callback, and if cache operations include an exit callback, the error code from populate() is overwritten with the return value from exit(). This hides the error condition from the caller of regcache_init(), and can cause NULL pointer dereferences when the regcache is later accessed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-pf: Fix leak of SQ timestamp buffer on teardown The send-queue timestamp ring is allocated with qmem_alloc() when timestamping is used, but otx2_free_sq_res() never freed sq->timestamps, leaking that memory across ifdown and device removal. Add the missing qmem_free() alongside the other SQ companion buffers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag SCTP_DIAG endpoint dumping was traversing endpoint address lists without holding lock_sock(), while those lists could change concurrently via socket operations (e.g., bindx changes). This creates a race where nla_reserve() counts addresses under RCU protection, but the subsequent copy may see fewer entries, potentially leaking uninitialized memory to userspace. Fix this by: - Taking a reference on each endpoint during hash traversal - Moving socket operations (lock_sock()) outside read_lock_bh() - Serializing address list access during dump - Reworking sctp_for_each_endpoint() to support restart-based traversal with (net, pos) tracking Also: - Add WARN_ON_ONCE() for inconsistent address counts - Fix idiag_states filtering for LISTEN vs association cases - Skip dumping endpoints being freed (ep->base.dead) - Move dump position tracking into iterator, removing cb->args[4] and its comment for sctp_ep_dump()., - Update the comment for cb->args[4] and remove the comment for unused cb->args[5] for sctp_sock_dump(). Note: traversal is restart-based and may re-scan buckets multiple times, but this is acceptable due to small bucket sizes and required to support sleeping-safe callbacks. This issue was reported by Nico Yip (@_cyeaa_) working with TrendAI Zero Day Initiative.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: qcom: clear opened when stream enable fails On enable, subs->opened is set before the service_interval is validated; an invalid interval jumps to the response label without clearing it, so the substream is wedged at -EBUSY until a disable or disconnect. Clear subs->opened on the enable error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Kill MIDI 2.0 URBs before freeing endpoints MIDI 2.0 input URBs are started during snd_usb_midi_v2_create(). A later setup failure can still jump to snd_usb_midi_v2_free(), which currently frees each endpoint and its coherent URB buffers without first stopping the submitted URBs. A completion can then dereference the embedded URB context and endpoint state after they have been freed, or try to resubmit from the stale endpoint. This was observed as a KASAN slab-use-after-free in input_urb_complete(). The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: probe error path: USB completion path: 1. start_input_streams() submits 1. The HCD still owns a input URBs. submitted input URB. 2. A later setup helper returns 2. input_urb_complete() runs an error. with urb->context in ep. 3. snd_usb_midi_v2_free() frees 3. The completion reads ep endpoint storage and URB buffers. state and can requeue URBs. Make the endpoint destructor follow the same teardown ordering used for disconnect when the endpoint has not already been disconnected: publish ep->disconnected, kill the URBs synchronously, and drain the endpoint before freeing URB buffers and endpoint storage. The guard avoids repeating the stop sequence after the normal snd_usb_midi_v2_disconnect_all() path, while still synchronizing the direct MIDI 2.0 create-error free path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ieee802154: fix kernel-infoleak in dgram_recvmsg() KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak in move_addr_to_user(): BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in instrument_copy_to_user include/linux/instrumented.h:131 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _inline_copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:205 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _copy_to_user+0xcc/0x120 lib/usercopy.c:26 instrument_copy_to_user include/linux/instrumented.h:131 [inline] _inline_copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:205 [inline] _copy_to_user+0xcc/0x120 lib/usercopy.c:26 copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:236 [inline] move_addr_to_user+0x2e7/0x440 net/socket.c:302 ____sys_recvmsg+0x232/0x610 net/socket.c:2925 ...

The execution flow is as follows: 1. `__ieee802154_rx_handle_packet()` declares a local `struct ieee802154_hdr hdr` on the stack. 2. `ieee802154_hdr_pull()` calls `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` to parse the source and destination addresses into this structure. 3. If the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`, `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` previously only set the `mode` field, leaving the `pan_id` field containing uninitialized stack memory. 4. This uninitialized `pan_id` is later copied into a `struct sockaddr_ieee802154` in `dgram_recvmsg()` via `ieee802154_addr_to_sa()`. 5. Finally, `move_addr_to_user()` copies the socket address structure to user space, leaking the uninitialized bytes. Fix this by using `memset` to zero out the address structure in `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` when the mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid10: fix writes_pending leak on write request failures raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with md_write_start() before dispatching write requests. Several failure paths in raid10_write_request() complete the bio and return without reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding md_write_end() to be skipped. Make raid10_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write request was successfully queued. This allows raid10_make_request() to release the writes_pending reference with md_write_end() when a write request fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid1: free r1_bio when REQ_NOWAIT is set and read would block on retry When a read is retried, raid1_read_request() may be called with a pre-allocated r1_bio. If wait_read_barrier() fails for a REQ_NOWAIT read, the bio is completed and the function returns immediately. In this case the existing r1_bio is leaked. This fixes a leak of pre-allocated r1_bio structures for retried reads.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_meta_bridge: fix NFT_META_BRI_IIFPVID stack leak This needs to test for nonzero retval.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm_crb: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion object need to verify its presence. Accordingly, add a requisite ACPI_COMPANION() check against NULL to the tpm_crb driver.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma-fence: Fix potential tracepoint null pointer dereferences Trace_dma_fence_signaled, trace_dma_fence_wait_end and trace_dma_fence_destroy can all currently dereference a null fence->ops pointer after it has been reset on fence signalling. Lets use the safe string getters for most tracepoints to avoid this class of a problem, while for the signal tracepoint we move it to before ops are cleared to avoid losing the driver and timeline name information. Apart from moving it we also need to add a new tracepoint class to bypass the safe name getters since the signaled bit is already set. For dma_fence_init we also need to use the new tracepoint class since the rcu read lock is not held there, and we can do the same for the enable signaling since there we are certain the fence cannot be signaled while we are holding the lock and have even validated the fence->ops.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/radeon: fix memory leak in radeon_ring_restore() on lock failure radeon_ring_restore() takes ownership of the data buffer allocated by radeon_ring_backup(). The caller (radeon_gpu_reset()) only frees it in the non-restore branch; in the restore branch it relies on radeon_ring_restore() to free it. If radeon_ring_lock() fails, the function returned early without calling kvfree(data), leaking the ring backup buffer on every GPU reset that fails at the lock stage. During repeated GPU resets this causes cumulative kernel memory exhaustion. Free data before returning the error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: atcspi200: fix use-after-free when driver unbind DMA resource is initialized after SPI controller registration. So when driver unbind, this can trigger a use-after-free when DMA is torn down while the controller is still alive and triggers DMA transfers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hfsplus: Remove the duplicate attr inode dirty marking action Syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in [1]. If the attributes file is not loaded during system mount, a trigger occurs [1] when setxattr is executed in userspace. Remove the first mark attr inode dirty operation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: atmel-sha204a - fix blocking and non-blocking rng logic The blocking and non-blocking paths were failing to provide valid entropy due to improper buffer management. Reading the buffer starting from byte 1, only fetch the 32 bytes of random data from the return message. Tested on an Atmel SHA204A device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: fix crash in bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr for negative dentries bpf_set_dentry_xattr and bpf_remove_dentry_xattr BPF kfuncs attempt to lock the inode of the supplied dentry without checking if it is NULL. If a negative dentry is passed (e.g. from security_inode_create), d_inode(dentry) returns NULL, and inode_lock(inode) will cause a NULL pointer dereference. Trivially fix this by adding a NULL check for inode before attempting to lock it, returning -EINVAL if it is NULL. Additionally, drop WARN_ON(!inode) in bpf_xattr_read_permission() and bpf_xattr_write_permission(). These warnings could be triggered by passing a negative dentry to bpf_get_dentry_xattr() or the _locked variants of the xattr kfuncs, potentially causing a Denial of Service on systems with panic_on_warn enabled. Instead, simply return -EINVAL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: evm: terminate and bound the evm_xattrs read buffer evm_read_xattrs() allocates size + 1 bytes, fills them from the list of enabled xattrs, and then passes strlen(temp) to simple_read_from_buffer(). When no configured xattrs are enabled, the fill loop stores nothing and temp[0] remains uninitialized, so strlen() reads beyond initialized memory. Explicitly terminate the buffer after allocation, use snprintf() for each formatted line, and pass the accumulated length, without risk of truncation, to simple_read_from_buffer().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mlx5: Fix devx subscribe-event unwind NULL dereference MLX5_IB_METHOD_DEVX_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT() links event_sub into sub_list before initializing the fields used by the shared error path. If eventfd_ctx_fdget() then fails, the unwind path dereferences event_sub->ev_file in uverbs_uobject_put() and calls subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() with an unset xa_key_level1. subscribe_event_xa_alloc() creates the XA entry exactly once for a given key_level1, on the first occurrence of that key. The unwind path must therefore call subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() exactly once for it as well. Enforce that by adding devx_key_in_sub_list() and calling subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() only when the last matching pending entry is being cleaned up.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/syncobj: Fix memory leak in drm_syncobj_find_fence() Commit 18226ba52159 ("drm/syncobj: reject invalid flags in drm_syncobj_find_fence") forgot to take into account the fact that drm_syncobj_find() takes a reference to syncobj and returns early without dropping the reference, leading to memory leaks. Reported by: Sam Spencer <sam.spencer@arm.com>
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm: limit target bio polling to one shot dm_poll_bio() is the ->poll_bio() callback for a stacked dm device. The caller only knows about the dm queue, so it may decide to do a spinning poll if it thinks a single queue is being polled. Passing those flags unchanged to the mapped clone lets blk_mq_poll() spin on a target queue from inside dm_poll_bio(). With io_uring IOPOLL on a dm-stripe target this can keep a task in dm_poll_bio() -> bio_poll() -> blk_mq_poll() long enough to trigger an RCU CPU stall, before io_uring gets back to io_iopoll_check() and its need_resched() check. Keep dm's ->poll_bio() bounded by forcing one-shot polling for target bios. The caller can invoke dm_poll_bio() again if it wants to keep polling, and it also gets a chance to reap completions or reschedule between passes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Bound synthetic-field strings with seq_buf The synthetic field helpers build a prefixed synthetic variable name and a generated hist command in fixed MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL buffers. The current code appends those strings with raw strcat(), so long key lists, field names, or saved filters can run past the end of the staging buffers. Build both strings with seq_buf and propagate -E2BIG if either the synthetic variable name or the generated command exceeds MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL. This keeps the existing tracing-side limit while using the helper intended for bounded command construction. [ sdr: Moved struct seq_buf *s for upside-down x-mas tree formatting ]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix log flood after cmd_mbox failure hns_roce_cmd_mbox() is the command interface between driver and hardware. When hardware is abnormal, the unlimited error printings after hns_roce_cmd_mbox() failure will cause log flood and even system crash. Replace ibdev_err() and ibdev_warn() with their ratelimited versions in the error handling path after hns_roce_cmd_mbox() (and its wrappers hns_roce_create_hw_ctx/hns_roce_destroy_hw_ctx) fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet-tcp: fix page fragment cache leak in error path In nvmet_tcp_alloc_queue(), when a connection is closed during the allocation process (e.g., nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock() returns -ENOTCONN), the error handling jumps to out_destroy_sq and then to out_ida_remove without draining the page fragment cache. Although nvmet_tcp_free_cmd() is called in some error paths to release individual page fragments, the underlying page cache reference held by queue->pf_cache is never released. The first allocation using pf_cache is the call to nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmd() for queue->connect, which happens after ida_alloc() returns successfully. This results in a page leak each time a connection fails during allocation, which could lead to memory exhaustion over time if connections are repeatedly opened and closed. Fix this by calling page_frag_cache_drain() before freeing the queue structure in the out_ida_remove label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_bpf: prevent unbounded recursion in offload rollback Quan Sun reported [1] a stack overflow in cls_bpf_offload_cmd(). Reproducer on netdevsim: add a skip_sw cls_bpf filter, set the bpf_tc_accept debugfs knob to 0, then `tc filter replace`. The replace calls tc_setup_cb_replace() which fails. cls_bpf_offload_cmd() then swaps prog/oldprog and recursively calls itself to roll back. But bpf_tc_accept=0 makes the rollback fail too, which triggers yet another rollback frame with the same arguments, and so on until the stack is exhausted. bpf_tc_accept is just a convenient knob for the reproducer. Any driver whose tc_setup_cb_replace() fails twice in a row can hit the same loop, so this is not a netdevsim-only issue. Two ways to fix it: 1) Have the rollback call tc_setup_cb_add() on oldprog instead of re-entering cls_bpf_offload_cmd(). 2) Mark the rollback frame with a flag and skip a second-level rollback from inside it. Go with (2). It is the smaller change and keeps the original behaviour: the rollback still goes through tc_setup_cb_replace(), so the driver gets one real chance to restore its state. If that attempt also fails, we just return the original error instead of recursing. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/ce5a6005-3c5e-4696-9e05-eba9461dc860@std.uestc.edu.cn/T/#u
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpu: host1x: Allow entries in BO caches to be freed When a buffer object is pinned via host1x_bo_pin() with a cache, the resulting mapping is kept in the cache so it can be reused on subsequent pins. Each mapping held a reference to the underlying host1x_bo (taken in tegra_bo_pin / gather_bo_pin), so as long as a mapping was cached, the bo itself could not be freed. However, the only way to remove the cached mapping was through the free path of the buffer object. This meant that if a bo got cached, it could never get freed again. Resolve the circularity by holding a weak reference to the bo from the cache side. This is done by having the .pin callbacks not bump the bo's refcount -- instead the common Host1x bo code does so, except for the cache reference. Also move the remove-cache-mapping-on-free code into a common function inside Host1x code. This is only called from the TegraDRM GEM buffers since those are the only ones that can be cached at the moment.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dax/kmem: account for partial discontiguous resource upon removal When dev_dax_kmem_probe() partially succeeds (at least one range is mapped) but a subsequent range fails request_mem_region() or add_memory_driver_managed(), the probe silently continues, ultimately returning success, but with the corresponding range resource NULL'ed out. dev_dax_kmem_remove() iterates over all dax_device ranges regardless of if the underlying resource exists. When remove_memory() is called later, it returns 0 because the memory was never added which causes dev_dax_kmem_remove() to incorrectly assume the (nonexistent) resource can be removed and attempts cleanup on a NULL pointer. Fix this by skipping these ranges altogether, noting that these cases are considered success, such that the cleanup is still reached when all actually-added ranges are successfully removed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock in read error recovery path raid1d and raid10d may resubmit a split md cloned bio while handling a read error. In this case, resubmitting the bio can lead to a deadlock if the array is suspended before md_handle_request() acquires an active_io reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live(). Since the cloned bio already holds an active_io reference, trying to acquire another reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live() can lead to a deadlock while the array is suspended. Fix this by using percpu_ref_get() for md cloned bios.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid1,raid10: fix bio accounting for split md cloned bios Use md_cloned_bio() to control bio accounting instead of relying on r1bio_existed in raid1 or the io_accounting flag in raid10. The previous logic does not reliably reflect whether a bio is an md cloned bio. When a failed bio is split and resubmitted via bio_submit_split_bioset() on the error path, this can lead to either double accounting for md cloned bios, or missing accounting for bios returned from bio_submit_split_bioset() Fix this by using md_cloned_bio() to detect md cloned bios and skip accounting accordingly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by incrementing rdev->nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror. err_handle's cleanup loop will only decrements for k < i and r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped, leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf() refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0. Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: liveupdate: fix TOCTOU race in luo_session_retrieve() Extend the scope of the rwsem_read lock in luo_session_retrieve() to overlap with the acquisition of the session mutex. This prevents a concurrent thread from releasing and freeing the session between the lookup and the mutex lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: liveupdate: fix u-a-f in luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish() In luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish(), reorder module_put() and xa_erase() to ensure the file handler module remains pinned while its operations are being accessed. Specifically, luo_get_id() dereferences fh->ops->get_id, so the module reference must be held until after xa_erase() (which calls luo_get_id) completes. For luo_file_finish(), this requires moving the module_put() call out of the luo_file_finish_one() helper and into the main loop of luo_file_finish() itself.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_h_verify_tkip_mic() In ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_h_verify_tkip_mic(), the call to ath12k_dp_rx_check_nwifi_hdr_len_valid() may return false when the NWIFI header length is invalid, causing the function to abort early with -EINVAL. When this happens, the error propagates to ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_h_defrag(), which clears first_frag by setting it to NULL. As a result, the corresponding MSDU is no longer referenced by the defragmentation path and is never freed. This leads to a memory leak for the affected MSDU on this error path. Proper cleanup is required to ensure the MSDU is released when header validation fails during TKIP MIC verification. Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.115823.3
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix NULL deref in change_sta_links for unready link _ieee80211_set_active_links() calls _ieee80211_link_use_channel() for each newly-added link and WARN_ON_ONCE()s if it fails. The call uses assign_on_failure=true, which allows mac80211 to continue despite driver failures, but when a mac80211-level channel validation fails (e.g., combinations check, DFS, or no available radio), drv_assign_vif_chanctx() is never reached. Since ath12k_mac_vdev_create() is only called from that path, arvif->is_created remains false and arvif->ar remains NULL for the failed link. The subsequent drv_change_sta_links() call reaches ath12k_mac_op_change_sta_links(), which allocates an arsta and sets ahsta->links_map |= BIT(link_id) for the broken link before checking whether the link is ready. When the vdev was never created, only station_add() is skipped, but the link remains in links_map. Any subsequent operation iterating links_map and dereferencing arvif->ar without a NULL check will crash. Two observed examples are NULL deref in ath12k_mac_ml_station_remove() on disconnect and in ath12k_mac_op_set_key() when wpa_supplicant installs PTK keys.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext2: fix ignored return value of generic_write_sync() Fix ext2_dio_write_iter() to propagate the error returned by generic_write_sync() instead of silently discarding it, which could cause write(2) to return success to userspace on O_SYNC/O_DSYNC files even when the sync failed. The correct pattern, already used in ext2_dax_write_iter() in the same file and in ext4, xfs, f2fs among others, is: if (ret > 0) ret = generic_write_sync(iocb, ret); Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. [JK: Reflect also filemap_write_and_wait() return value]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject exclusive maps for bpf_map_elem iterators Exclusive maps (aka excl_prog_hash) are meant to be reachable only from the single program whose hash matches. This is enforced by check_map_prog_compatibility() when the map is referenced from a program such as signed BPF loaders. A bpf_map_elem iterator, however, binds its target map at attach time in bpf_iter_attach_map() instead of referencing it from the program, so the exclusivity check is never reached. On top of that, the iterator exposes the map value as a writable buffer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix fast commit wait/wake bit mapping on 64-bit On 64-bit, ext4 dynamic inode states live in the upper half of i_flags, and ext4_test_inode_state() applies the corresponding +32 offset. The fast-commit wait and wake paths open-coded the wait key with the raw EXT4_STATE_* value. Add small helpers for the state wait word and bit, and use them for the FC_COMMITTING and FC_FLUSHING_DATA waits so the wait key follows the same mapping as the state helpers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: always resume_all after suspend_all Need to restore any good queues even if the suspend_all failed for some.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: of: reserved_mem: avoid post-init UAF when alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails The global pointer 'reserved_mem' continues to reference the reserved_mem_array which lives in __initdata if alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails. of_reserved_mem_lookup() is exported for post-init use, that would dereference freed memory and trigger a use-after-free. So reset reserved_mem_count to 0 when alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: rebase copied fsdlm LVB pointers in locking_state The locking_state debugfs iterator snapshots struct ocfs2_lock_res by value under ocfs2_dlm_tracking_lock and later formats that copy in ocfs2_dlm_seq_show(). That is fine for the inline fields, but the userspace fsdlm stack stores the LVB through lksb_fsdlm.sb_lvbptr. Once the iterator drops the tracking lock, a copied non-NULL sb_lvbptr still points into the original lockres owner, so teardown can free that container before the debugfs dump walks the raw LVB bytes. Rebase the copied sb_lvbptr to the copied l_lksb before dumping the raw LVB. The seq snapshot already carries the inline LVB storage reserved in struct ocfs2_dlm_lksb, so the debugfs reader can dump the copied bytes without borrowing the original lockres lifetime. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: locking_state reader: lockres teardown: 1. ocfs2_dlm_seq_start()/next() 1. file release or another owner copies struct ocfs2_lock_res teardown reaches 2. ocfs2_dlm_seq_show() formats ocfs2_lock_res_free() the copied row 2. the lockres is removed from the 3. ocfs2_dlm_lvb() follows the tracking list copied sb_lvbptr 3. the owner frees the original lockres container Validation reproduced this kernel report: KASAN slab-use-after-free in ocfs2_dlm_seq_show+0x1bd/0x430 RIP: 0033:0x7f8ec4b1e29d The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88810a1e0800 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-1k of size 1024 The buggy address is located 368 bytes inside of freed 1024-byte region [ffff88810a1e0800, ffff88810a1e0c00) Read of size 1 Call trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x66/0xa0 print_report+0xce/0x630 ocfs2_dlm_seq_show+0x1bd/0x430 (fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c:3137) srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 __virt_addr_valid+0x19f/0x330 kasan_report+0xe0/0x110 seq_read_iter+0x29d/0x790 seq_read+0x20a/0x280 find_held_lock+0x2b/0x80 rcu_read_unlock+0x18/0x70 full_proxy_read+0x9e/0xd0 vfs_read+0x12c/0x590 ksys_read+0xd2/0x170 do_user_addr_fault+0x65a/0x890 do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Allocated by task stack: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 __kasan_kmalloc+0xaa/0xb0 ocfs2_file_open+0x13e/0x300 do_dentry_open+0x233/0x7f0 vfs_open+0x5a/0x1b0 path_openat+0x66d/0x1540 do_file_open+0x186/0x2b0 do_sys_openat2+0xce/0x150 __x64_sys_openat+0xd0/0x140 do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Freed by task stack: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x3b/0x60 __kasan_slab_free+0x5f/0x80 kfree+0x313/0x590 ocfs2_file_release+0x138/0x260 __fput+0x1df/0x4b0 fput_close_sync+0xd2/0x170 __x64_sys_close+0x55/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open debug_lockres_open() copies inode->i_private into struct debug_lockres and debug_lockres_release() later drops that pointer with dlm_put(). That only works if open successfully pins the struct dlm_ctxt. Today open calls dlm_grab(dlm) but ignores its return value. Once the last domain unregister has removed the context from dlm_domains, dlm_grab() returns NULL, yet open still stores the raw pointer and returns success. The later release path is outside the debugfs removal barrier, so it can call dlm_put() after dlm_free_ctxt_mem() has freed the context. KASAN reports this as a slab-use-after-free in dlm_put() called from debug_lockres_release(). Fail the open when dlm_grab() cannot acquire the reference and unwind the seq_file private state before returning. That keeps locking_state from handing out a file descriptor whose release path does not own the dlm_ctxt. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: locking_state debugfs open: last domain unregister: 1. debug_lockres_open() reads 1. dlm_unregister_domain() calls inode->i_private. dlm_complete_dlm_shutdown(). 2. debug_lockres_open() calls 2. shutdown removes the dlm_ctxt from dlm_grab(dlm) and gets NULL. dlm_domains. 3. open still stores the raw dlm 3. final teardown reaches pointer in dl->dl_ctxt and dlm_free_ctxt_mem() and frees it. returns success. 4. debug_lockres_release() later calls dlm_put(dl->dl_ctxt).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix OOB read during CQ MR registration Sashiko pointed out an unrelated bug during a previous patch: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260512183852.614045-1-jmoroni%40google.com This change fixes the bug by eliminating the cqmr->split field which was not being set properly and instead just checks the CQ resize feature flag directly. The cqmr->split field essentially tracks whether IRDMA_FEATURE_CQ_RESIZE is set, but it was not being set until CQ creation time, which is _after_ CQ memory registration (the only other place where it is referenced). As a result, it would always be false during MR registration and would therefore cause irdma_handle_q_mem to populate cqmr->shadow even for GEN_2 HW and beyond: cqmr->shadow = (dma_addr_t)arr[req->cq_pages]; The issue is that for GEN_2 and beyond, req->cq_pages may be exactly equal to iwmr->page_cnt and therefore equal to the size of arr, which would cause an OOB read by one.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook After commit 12e9e3cd03b5 ("simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache"), kernfs_xattr_set() and kernfs_xattr_get() compute the cache via kernfs_root(kn) before any other check. kernfs_root(kn) walks kn->__parent first and falls back to kn->dir.root, both of which are NULL on a freshly kmem_cache_zalloc()'d kn. kn->__parent was being set in kernfs_new_node() after __kernfs_new_node() returned, and kn->dir.root is set even later by kernfs_create_dir_ns() / kernfs_create_empty_dir(). The LSM kernfs_init_security hook is invoked from inside __kernfs_new_node(), before either field has been initialized. selinux_kernfs_init_security() ends with kernfs_xattr_set(kn, XATTR_NAME_SELINUX, ...). kernfs_root(kn) then returns NULL, and &((struct kernfs_root *)NULL)->xa_cache evaluates to offsetof(struct kernfs_root, xa_cache) which faults: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000e0 RIP: 0010:simple_xattr_set+0x27/0x8b0 Call Trace: kernfs_xattr_set+0x63/0xb0 selinux_kernfs_init_security+0x13b/0x270 security_kernfs_init_security+0x36/0xc0 __kernfs_new_node+0x182/0x290 kernfs_new_node+0x80/0xc0 kernfs_create_dir_ns+0x2b/0xa0 cgroup_create+0x116/0x380 cgroup_mkdir+0x7c/0x1a0 Reproduces deterministically at PID 1 (systemd) on an SELinux-enabled distro. The first cgroup mkdir under /sys/fs/cgroup with a labelled parent panics the kernel. The LSM hook's contract is that the kn_dir argument is the parent of the new kn, so kn->__parent should already point at kn_dir when the hook runs. Move kernfs_get(parent) and rcu_assign_pointer of kn->__parent from kernfs_new_node() into __kernfs_new_node() right before the security hook, and unwind the parent reference on the err_out4 path. kernfs_root(kn) then takes its parent branch during the hook and returns parent->dir.root, which is the correct root. This also closes the same-shape latent bug in kernfs_xattr_get() (which today is hidden only by kernfs_iattrs_noalloc() returning NULL on a fresh kn).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read snd_seq_read() copies a queued variable-length event header to userspace before expanding the payload. Queued variable-length events use SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_CHAINED internally, and data.ext.ptr points at the first extension cell. The read side strips SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_* bits from data.ext.len before the copy, but it leaves data.ext.ptr untouched. A userspace sequencer client can therefore write a direct variable event to itself and read back the extension-cell kernel address from the returned header. Clear the temporary header pointer before copy_to_user(). The original queued event remains unchanged and is still passed to snd_seq_expand_var_event(), so payload expansion keeps using the internal chain.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locks NMI and tracepoint BPF programs can re-enter the per-CPU or global LRU lock that bpf_lru_pop_free()/push_free() already hold on the same CPU, AA-deadlocking. Lockdep reports "inconsistent {INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI}" on &l->lock (syzbot c69a0a2c816716f1e0d5) and "possible recursive locking detected" on &loc_l->lock (syzbot 18b26edb69b2e19f3b33). Prior trylock and rqspinlock based fixes (see links) were nacked because compromised on reliability. This patch converts every LRU lock site to rqspinlock_t and adds a recovery path for some failure windows to avoid node leaks. Failure recovery: - *_pop_free top-level: return NULL; prealloc_lru_pop() already treats that as no-free-element (-ENOMEM). - Cross-CPU steal: skip the victim's locked loc_l, try next CPU. - Post-steal local lock fail: publish stolen node to lockless per-CPU free_llist; next pop on this CPU picks it up. - push_free fail: mark node pending_free=1. __local_list_flush(), __local_list_pop_pending() reclaim the node from pending_list. __bpf_lru_list_shrink_inactive() reclaims the node from inactive list. Nodes from active list are reclaimed by __bpf_lru_list_shrink() or after __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active() demotes it to the inactive.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: bound S1G TIM PVB walk to the TIM element ieee80211_s1g_check_tim() parses the S1G Partial Virtual Bitmap (PVB) of a received TIM element. The TIM is handed in as the element payload: ieee802_11_parse_elems_full() stores elems->tim = elem->data and elems->tim_len = elem->datalen (net/mac80211/parse.c), so the valid bytes are [tim, tim + tim_len). When walking the encoded blocks the function passes the walker an end sentinel of (const u8 *)tim + tim_len + 2, i.e. two bytes past the end of the element. ieee80211_s1g_find_target_block() loops while (ptr + 1 <= end) and dereferences ptr (and the per-mode ieee80211_s1g_len_*() helpers read *ptr), so it can read up to two bytes beyond the TIM element -- an out-of-bounds read of adjacent skb/heap data when the TIM is the last element in the frame. The +2 appears to account for the element id/len header, but tim already points past that header at the element payload, so the addend is wrong. Pass the correct element end, (const u8 *)tim + tim_len.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images() A recursive locking deadlock can occur in the firmware loader's power management notification handler. During system suspend or hibernation preparation, fw_pm_notify() calls device_cache_fw_images(). This function acquires fw_lock to set the firmware cache state to FW_LOADER_START_CACHE and then iterates over all devices using dpm_for_each_dev() while still holding the lock. For each device, dev_cache_fw_image() schedules asynchronous work to cache the firmware. If memory allocation for the async work entry fails (e.g., in out-of-memory conditions), async_schedule_node_domain() falls back to executing the work function synchronously in the current thread. The synchronous execution path (__async_dev_cache_fw_image() -> cache_firmware() -> request_firmware() -> assign_fw()) attempts to acquire fw_lock again. Since the current thread already holds fw_lock, this results in a recursive locking deadlock. Fix this by releasing fw_lock immediately after updating the cache state and before calling dpm_for_each_dev(). The lock is only needed to protect the state update. Concurrent firmware requests will correctly see the FW_LOADER_START_CACHE state and use the piggyback mechanism, which is independently protected by its own fwc->name_lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: unregister PM notifier on watchdog unregister watchdog_register_device() registers wdd->pm_nb when WDOG_NO_PING_ON_SUSPEND is set, but watchdog_unregister_device() does not remove it. This leaves an embedded notifier block on the PM notifier chain after the watchdog device has been unregistered. A later suspend/resume notification can then call watchdog_pm_notifier() with a stale watchdog_device pointer, or at minimum after wdd->wd_data has been cleared by watchdog_dev_unregister(). Unregister the PM notifier before tearing down the watchdog device.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vmalloc: fix NULL pointer dereference in is_vm_area_hugepages() find_vm_area() can return NULL if the given address is not a valid vmalloc area. Check the return value before dereferencing it to avoid a kernel crash.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix resource leak in probe error path When pcim_iomap_region() or devm_kmemdup() fail, the code returns directly without cleaning up previously allocated resources: - mt76_device allocated by mt76_alloc_device() - pci irq vectors allocated by pci_alloc_irq_vectors() Fix this by jumping to the existing error cleanup path instead of returning directly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: validate skb length in testmode query In mt7925_tm_query(), the response skb from mt76_mcu_send_and_get_msg() is used in a memcpy without validating its length: memcpy(evt_resp, skb->data + 8, MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN); where MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN is 512. If the firmware returns a response shorter than 520 bytes (8 + 512), this reads beyond the skb data buffer. The over-read data is then returned to userspace via nla_put() in mt7925_testmode_dump(). Add a length check before the memcpy to ensure the skb contains sufficient data.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in mt7996_mac_write_txwi_80211() For injected frames (e.g. via radiotap), mac80211 can pass info->control.vif = NULL, as explicitly noted in struct ieee80211_tx_info. Check vif pointer before executing ieee80211_vif_is_mld() in mt7996_mac_write_txwi_80211 routine in order to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code The code that gets the frame buffer mode from OF has 'use after free', 'buffer overrun' and memory leaks. info->edid_data isn't free if the probe functions fail or if pd->def_mode is set. If both the CRT and PANEL are enabled info->edid_data is used after being freed and is freed twice. The string returned by of_get_property(np, "mode", &len) is just written over either the static "640x480-16@60" or the module parameter string without any regard for the length (which is most likely longer). Use kstrump() for the OF mode and free everything before freeing 'info.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock waiting for ticket during data relocation When performing data relocation on a zoned filesystem, BTRFS can deadlock in handle_reserve_tickets(). The relocation process is waiting on a space reservation ticket that can never be fulfilled, because the relocation itself is the operation responsible for freeing up that space. Fix this by introducing a new flush state, BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_ZONED_RELOCATION, specifically for data chunk allocation during zoned relocation. Like BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_FREE_SPACE_INODE, this state uses priority_reclaim_data_space() instead of the normal flushing path, which avoids re-entering the relocation code and breaking the deadlock cycle. In btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand(), select this new flush state when the inode belongs to a data relocation root on a zoned filesystem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix deadlock cloning inline extent when using flushoncommit In commit b48c980b6a7e ("btrfs: fix deadlock between reflink and transaction commit when using flushoncommit") a deadlock was fixed between reflinks and transaction commits when the fs is mounted with the flushoncommit option. This happened when we had to copy an inline extent's data to the destination file. However the issue was fixed only for the case where the destination offset is 0, it missed the case when the offset is greater than zero. Fix this by ensuring we get i_size update whenever we copied an inline extent's data into the destination file.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix kernel BUG in ext4_write_inline_data_end When the data=journal mount option is used, the ext4_journalled_write_end() function incorrectly calls ext4_write_inline_data_end() without checking if the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is still set on the inode. If a previous attempt to convert the inline data to an extent failed (e.g. due to ENOSPC), the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is cleared, but the EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA flag remains set. In this scenario, the next call to ext4_write_begin() will not prepare the inline data xattr for writing, but ext4_journalled_write_end() will incorrectly attempt to write to it, triggering a BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size) in ext4_write_inline_data() since i_inline_size was not expanded. Fix this by ensuring that ext4_journalled_write_end() only calls ext4_write_inline_data_end() if the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is set, mirroring the behavior of ext4_write_end() and ext4_da_write_end().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: validate donor file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT Reject the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl early if the donor file does not belong to the same superblock as the original file. Currently, this validation is performed inside ext4_move_extents() by mext_check_validity(), but only after lock_two_nondirectories() has already acquired the inode locks. When the donor fd refers to a file on a different filesystem (e.g., overlayfs), this late validation creates a circular lock dependency: CPU0 (overlayfs write) CPU1 (ext4 ioctl) ---- ---- inode_lock(ovl_inode) mnt_want_write_file(filp) sb_start_write(ext4_sb) [sb_writers] backing_file_write_iter() vfs_iter_write(real_file) file_start_write(real_file) sb_start_write(ext4_sb) [blocked by freeze] lock_two_nondirectories() inode_lock(ovl_inode) [blocked] With a concurrent freeze operation holding sb_writers write side, this forms a deadlock cycle: CPU0 waits for freeze to complete, freeze waits for CPU1's sb_writers reader to exit, CPU1 waits for CPU0's inode lock. Since EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT exchanges physical extents between two files, it fundamentally requires both files to reside on the same ext4 filesystem. Moving the superblock check before any lock acquisition is both semantically correct and eliminates the circular dependency by ensuring that cross-filesystem donor fds are rejected before sb_writers or inode locks are taken.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_qca: fix NULL pointer dereference in qca_setup() for non-serdev device hu->serdev is NULL for hci_uart attached via non-serdev paths, but qca_setup() unconditionally calls serdev_device_get_drvdata(hu->serdev) and dereferences the result, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Fix by guarding the dereference with a NULL check, consistent with the rest of qca_setup().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_qca: fix NULL pointer dereference in qca_dmp_hdr() for non-serdev device hu->serdev is NULL for hci_uart attached via non-serdev paths, but qca_dmp_hdr() unconditionally dereferences hu->serdev->dev.driver->name, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Fix by guarding the dereference with a NULL check and falling back to "hci_ldisc_qca" for the non-serdev case.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btmtk: fix URB leak in alloc_mtk_intr_urb error path When btmtk_isopkt_pad() fails, the previously allocated URB is not freed, leaking the urb structure. Add usb_free_urb() before returning the error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/core: Fix FRMR aging push to queue error flow Aging pools with pinned handles requires moving handles from the active queue to a non-empty inactive queue that might fail on new page allocation, we are currently not handling the fault and leaking any mkey that fails the push. Fix by Introducing push_queue_to_queue_locked() that fills the destination's partial tail page from the source and then splices the remaining source pages onto the destination, performing no allocation. Replace the per-handle move loop in age_pinned_pool() and the open-coded splice in pool_aging_work() with calls to the helper. As the helper cannot fail under memory pressure, removing a class of GFP_ATOMIC allocations under the pool lock and simplifying the error flow.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/core: Fix FRMR set pinned push error path Add destruction of FRMR handles in case the push to the pool fails. This prevents resources leak in case pool page allocation fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: topology: Check PCM and DAI name strings before use Topology objects store several PCM and DAI names in fixed-size UAPI arrays. Other topology parser paths validate these fields with bounded strnlen() checks before using them as C strings, but the PCM and DAI paths still pass some fixed-size arrays directly to strlen(), devm_kstrdup(), DAI lookup, and diagnostic prints. A malformed topology blob with a non-NUL-terminated PCM, DAI, or stream capability name can therefore make the parser read past the end of the fixed-size field. Reject unterminated PCM and DAI name fields before consuming them as C strings.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_flow: Dont expose folded kernel pointers The flow classifier falls back to addr_fold() for fields that are missing from packet headers. In map mode, userspace controls mask, xor, rshift, addend and divisor, and can observe the resulting classid through class statistics. This allows a tc classifier in a user/network namespace to recover the 32-bit folded value of skb->sk, skb_dst() or skb_nfct(). Align with standard kernel practices for pointer hashing and replace the XOR folding with a keyed siphash (which is cryptographically secure)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: pfcp: allocate per-cpu tstats for PFCP netdevs PFCP uses dev_get_tstats64() as its ndo_get_stats64 callback, but pfcp_link_setup() does not request NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS. The net core therefore leaves dev->tstats NULL for PFCP devices. Creating a PFCP rtnetlink device can immediately ask the new netdev for stats while building the RTM_NEWLINK notification. That reaches dev_get_tstats64() and dereferences the NULL dev->tstats pointer. Set pcpu_stat_type to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS during PFCP link setup so the net core allocates the storage expected by dev_get_tstats64().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: sch_hfsc: Don't make class passive twice update_vf() is called from two places for the same class during a single dequeue when the class's child qdisc (e.g. codel/fq_codel) drops its last packets while dequeuing: 1. The child calls qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(), which, now that the child is empty, invokes hfsc_qlen_notify() -> update_vf(cl, 0, 0) and turns the class passive (cl_nactive is decremented up the hierarchy). 2. hfsc_dequeue() then calls update_vf(cl, qdisc_pkt_len(skb), cur_time) to charge the dequeued bytes. On the second call the class is already passive, but its child qdisc is still empty, so update_vf() arms go_passive again: if (cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 && cl->cl_flags & HFSC_FSC) go_passive = 1; The leaf is then skipped by the cl_nactive == 0 check inside the loop, which does not clear go_passive, so the stale go_passive propagates to the parent and decrements its cl_nactive a second time. A parent that still has other active children is driven to cl_nactive == 0 and removed from the vttree, even though those siblings are still backlogged. They are never dequeued again and the qdisc stalls. Fix this by only arming go_passive when the class is actually active, so an already-passive class no longer triggers a second passive transition. The byte accounting (cl->cl_total += len) still runs for every ancestor, so dequeued bytes continue to be counted exactly once.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event() The comment above bounce_error_event() documents that user clients should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with the original event embedded as variable-length data, while kernel clients should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with a quoted kernel pointer. However, the implementation unconditionally uses SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with data.quote.event set to the raw struct snd_seq_event pointer for all clients. When a bounce error event is delivered to a USER_CLIENT via snd_seq_read(), the kernel heap address in data.quote.event is exposed to userspace through copy_to_user() in the fixed-length branch. This is a distinct leak path from the one addressed by commit 705dd6dcbc0e ("ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read"), which sanitizes data.ext.ptr in the variable-length branch of snd_seq_read(). The bounce_error_event() leak uses fixed-length events that take the else branch where no sanitization occurs. Differentiate the bounce event by client type. For USER_CLIENT, send SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_LENGTH_VARIABLE and data.ext pointing to the original event. The variable-length path in snd_seq_event_dup() copies the event data into chained cells, and snd_seq_expand_var_event() copies only the content -- never the pointer -- to userspace. For KERNEL_CLIENT, keep the existing SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR behavior with the quoted pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size The method the driver uses to determine the size of the FIFO has a problem. What it currently does is this: It stops the SPI hardware and writes to the TX FIFO register until TX FIFO FULL asserts in the status register. But the hardware does not only have the FIFO, it also has a shift register which can hold a byte. This can be seen, when writing a byte to the FIFO (while the SPI hardware is stopped,) the TX FIFO EMPTY is still empty. So, if we have a FIFO size of 16 for example, the current method returns a 17. This is a problem, at least when using the driver in irq mode. The same size determined for the TX FIFO is also assumed for the RX FIFO. When a SPI transaction wants to write the amount of the FIFO size or more bytes, the following happens, for example with 16 bytes FIFO size: The driver stops the SPI hardware and writes 17 bytes to the TX FIFO and starts the SPI hardware and goes sleep. The hardware then shifts out 17 bytes (FIFO + shift register) and simultaneously reads bytes into the RX FIFO, but it only has 16 places, so it looses one byte. Then TX FIFO empty asserts, wakes the driver again, which has a fast path and reads 16 bytes from the RX FIFO, but before reading the last 17th byte (which is lost) it does this: sr = xspi->read_fn(xspi->regs + XSPI_SR_OFFSET); if (!(sr & XSPI_SR_RX_EMPTY_MASK)) { xilinx_spi_rx(xspi); rx_words--; } It reads the status register and checks if the RX FIFO is not empty. But it is empty in our case. So this check spins in a while loop forever locking the driver. This patch fixes the logic to determine the FIFO size.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fill first free targets[] slot during auto-discovery Any invalid endpoint decoder pointer in the target array of an active region is not allowed by cxl driver. This means cxl driver always assumes the first p->nr_targets entries of the target array in an auto-assembly region are valid. However, there are scenarios that could leave NULL endpoint decoder pointer holes in the target array. 1. When cxl_cancel_auto_attach() removes an endpoint decoder from a target array, the target slot is set to NULL. If the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, the target array will contain a NULL hole. 2. When a auto-assembly region removes an assigned endpoint decoder, if the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, always remains a NULL hole in the target array. When a NULL pointer hole exists in a region's target array, it introduces two potential problems: 1. Access an endpoint decoder via a NULL pointer. it always trigger calltrace like that. Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000008: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI RIP: 0010:cxl_calc_interleave_pos+0x26/0x810 [cxl_core] Call Trace: <TASK> cxl_region_attach+0xc50/0x2140 [cxl_core] cxl_add_to_region+0x321/0x2330 [cxl_core] discover_region+0x92/0x150 [cxl_port] device_for_each_child+0xf3/0x170 cxl_port_probe+0x150/0x200 [cxl_port] cxl_bus_probe+0x4f/0xa0 [cxl_core] really_probe+0x1c8/0x960 __driver_probe_device+0x323/0x450 driver_probe_device+0x45/0x120 __device_attach_driver+0x15d/0x280 bus_for_each_drv+0x10f/0x190 2. Not having enough valid endpoint decoders attached to an auto-assembly region. if an auto-assembly region is created with lock flag or assigned endpoint decoder with lock flag, which means assigned endpoint decoder will not be reset during detaching, they could re-attach to the auto-assembly region again. But cxl region driver relies on p->nr_targets to verify whether the required number of endpoint decoders has been attached, and NULL endpoint decoder pointers are still counted in that case. To fix above issues, adjust cxl_region_attach_auto() logic to find the first free target slot for endpoint decoder attachment, this ensures NULL holes in the target array are filled, rather than adding new endpoint decoders at the tail of the target array.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Block region delete during region creation Expand the range lock, rename it "regions_lock", to disable region deletion in the critical period between construct_region() and attach_target(), as well as the period between device_add() and registering the remove actions. Otherwise, userspace can confuse the kernel. It can violate the assumption the region stays registered through the completion of cxl_add_to_region(). It can violate the assumption that devm_add_action_or_reset() is working with a live 'struct cxl_region'. It is ok for the region to disappear outside of those windows as that mirrors device hotplug flows where the proper locks are held.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Resolve region deletion races Sungwoo noticed that the sysfs trigger to delete a region may try to delete a region multiple times. It also has no exclusion relative to the kernel releasing the region via CXL root device teardown. Instead of installing new cxl root devres actions per region, use the existing root decoder unregistration event to remove all remaining regions. An xarray of regions replaces a devres list of regions. This handles 3 separate issues with the old approach: 1/ sysfs users racing to delete the same region: no longer possible now that the regions_lock is held over the lookup and deletion. 2/ multiple actions triggering deletion of the same region: solved by erasing regions while holding @regions_lock, and only proceeding on successful erasure. 3/ userspace racing devres_release_all() to trigger the devres not found warning: solved by sysfs unregistration not requiring a release action
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: core: fix supplied_from allocations If dts property power-supplies has multiple values, then accessing to psy->supplied_from[i-1] in __power_supply_populate_supplied_from will overrun supplied_from array.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: sch_dualpi2: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen Whenever dualpi2 drops packets during peek, it calls qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will be executed even though dualpi2 still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus, mistakenly deactivates the parent's class which leads to a null-ptr-deref: [ 101.427314][ T599] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000009: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI [ 101.427755][ T599] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000048-0x000000000000004f] [ 101.428048][ T599] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 599 Comm: ping Not tainted 7.1.0-rc5-00284-gbce53c430ed7 #102 PREEMPT(full) [ 101.428400][ T599] Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 [ 101.428608][ T599] RIP: 0010:qfq_dequeue (net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1150) sch_qfq [ 101.428821][ T599] Code: 00 fc ff df 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 46 0c 00 00 4c 8d 73 48 48 89 9d b8 02 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4c 89 f2 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 2d 0c 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4c 8b All code [ 101.429348][ T599] RSP: 0018:ffff8881110df4f0 EFLAGS: 00010216 [ 101.429541][ T599] RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: dffffc0000000000 [ 101.429763][ T599] RDX: 0000000000000009 RSI: 00000024c0000000 RDI: ffff88811436c2b0 [ 101.429985][ T599] RBP: ffff88811436c000 R08: ffff88811436c280 R09: 1ffff11021277523 [ 101.430206][ T599] R10: 1ffff11021277526 R11: 1ffff11021277527 R12: 00000024c0000000 [ 101.430423][ T599] R13: ffff88811436c2b8 R14: 0000000000000048 R15: 0000000020000000 [ 101.430642][ T599] FS: 00007f61813e1c40(0000) GS:ffff8881691ef000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 101.430913][ T599] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 101.431100][ T599] CR2: 00005651650850a8 CR3: 000000010ca0b000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0 [ 101.431320][ T599] PKRU: 55555554 [ 101.431433][ T599] Call Trace: [ 101.431544][ T599] <TASK> [ 101.431628][ T599] __qdisc_run (net/sched/sch_generic.c:322 net/sched/sch_generic.c:427 net/sched/sch_generic.c:445) [ 101.431792][ T599] ? dev_qdisc_enqueue (./include/trace/events/qdisc.h:49 (discriminator 22) net/core/dev.c:4176 (discriminator 22)) [ 101.431941][ T599] __dev_queue_xmit (./include/net/pkt_sched.h:120 ./include/net/pkt_sched.h:117 net/core/dev.c:4292 net/core/dev.c:4831) Fix this by only calling qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog in peek after the qlen is restored.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mana: initialize gdma queue id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID mana_gd_create_mana_wq_cq() leaves queue->id as 0 (from kzalloc_obj()) until mana_create_wq_obj() assigns the firmware-returned id. If creation fails before that, cleanup calls mana_gd_destroy_cq() with id 0, NULLing gc->cq_table[0] and silently breaking whichever real CQ owns that slot. Initialize queue->id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID right after allocation, matching mana_gd_create_eq(). The existing (id >= max_num_cqs) guard then short-circuits cleanly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: t7xx: check skb_clone in control TX t7xx_port_ctrl_tx() clones each skb fragment before passing it to the port transmit path. The clone is used immediately to set cloned->len, so an skb_clone() failure results in a NULL pointer dereference. Check the clone before using it. If previous fragments were already queued, preserve the driver's existing partial-write behavior by returning the number of bytes submitted so far.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: avoid stale FIFO cells during resize snd_seq_fifo_resize() still needs to publish the replacement pool before it waits for FIFO users. A blocking snd_seq_read() holds f->use_lock while it sleeps, so concurrent senders must be able to queue to the new pool and wake that reader instead of failing against a closing old pool. However, snd_seq_fifo_event_in() duplicates an event before it takes f->lock, and snd_seq_read() can dequeue a cell and later call snd_seq_fifo_cell_putback() if copy_to_user() or snd_seq_expand_var_event() fails. If resize swaps f->pool and detaches oldhead in between, either path can relink an old-pool cell after the snapshot. That stale cell sits outside the drained oldhead list, keeps oldpool->counter elevated, and can leave snd_seq_pool_delete() waiting for the retired pool to drain. Keep the existing swap-before-wait ordering in snd_seq_fifo_resize(), but reject stale cells before any FIFO relink. Revalidate event-in cells under f->lock and retry them against the published replacement pool, and free stale putback cells instead of linking them back into the FIFO. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: resize path: relink path: 1. Allocate newpool. 1. Take f->use_lock. 2. Swap f->pool to newpool and 2.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/bnxt_re: Initialize dpi variable to zero dpi is initialized only for BNXT_RE_ALLOC_WC_PAGE, but copied for all the cases. So initialize the dpi to 0.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/bnxt_re: Avoid displaying the kernel pointer While dumping the info on MR using the rdma tool, we dump the mr_hwq which is a kernel pointer. There is no need to expose this value for end user. So avoid it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix stainfo check in rtw_aes_decrypt The null-pointer-guard was incorrect, returning _FAIL on valid pointer. Invert the guard, so it returns _FAIL on invalid pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: mtk-adsp: fix UAF during device teardown When the SOF audio driver fails to initialize (e.g. firmware boot timeout), its devres unwind frees the snd_sof_dev object that the mailbox client (mtk-adsp-ipc) reaches via chan->cl->rx_callback. The mtk-adsp-mailbox shutdown clears the mailbox command registers but leaves the IRQ line unmasked, so a late interrupt can still queue a threaded handler after mbox_free_channel() had cleared chan->cl, and mbox_chan_received_data() would then trigger UAF: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sof_ipc3_validate_fw_version sof_ipc3_validate_fw_version sof_ipc3_do_rx_work sof_ipc3_rx_msg mt8196_dsp_handle_request mtk_adsp_ipc_recv mbox_chan_received_data mtk_adsp_mbox_isr irq_thread_fn Freed by task ...: kfree devres_release_all really_probe ... (sof-audio-of-mt8196 probe failure) The crash was observed roughly three seconds after the failed probe. disable_irq() in shutdown and enable_irq() in startup. disable_irq() also waits for any in-flight interrupts, so by the time mbox_free_channel() proceeds to clear chan->cl no rx_callback can run. In addition, request the IRQ with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN so it stays masked between probe and the first client bind - otherwise an early interrupt can crash on chan->cl == NULL in mbox_chan_received_data().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: most: video: avoid double free on video register failure comp_register_videodev() allocates a video_device with video_device_alloc() and releases it if video_register_device() fails. This can double free the video_device when __video_register_device() reaches device_register() and that call fails: video_register_device() -> __video_register_device() -> device_register() fails -> put_device(&vdev->dev) -> v4l2_device_release() -> vdev->release(vdev) -> video_device_release(vdev) comp_register_videodev() -> video_device_release(mdev->vdev) Use video_device_release_empty() while registering the device so that registration failure paths do not free mdev->vdev through vdev->release(). comp_register_videodev() then releases mdev->vdev exactly once on failure. Restore video_device_release() after successful registration so the registered device keeps its normal lifetime handling. This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: magnetometer: ak8975: fix potential kernel stack memory leak Currently in the AK8975 driver there are four instances where potential uninitialized kernel stack memory leaks can occur. If i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() returns a value less than the size of the buffer, uninitialized bytes are retained in the buffer and later the buffer is passed on to IIO buffers, potentially leaking memory to userspace. Fix this by adding checks whether the return value of the function is equal to the size of the buffer and subsequently if the value is lesser than zero to distinguish from a returned error code.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: accel: mma8452: handle I2C read error(s) in mma8452_read() Currently, If i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() fails but mma8452_set_runtime_pm_state() succeeds, mma8452_read() returns 0. As a result, the caller mma8452_read_raw() assumes the read was successful and proceeds to use a buffer containing uninitialized stack memory. Add proper checking of the I2C read return value and propagate errors to the caller.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: Properly free struct axi_dmac_desc Use axi_dmac_free_desc() to free fully the descriptor at fail path when call axi_dmac_alloc_desc() in axi_dmac_prep_peripheral_dma_vec().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: use DMA pool to manange DMA descriptor For architectures like Microblaze or arm64 (where this IP is used), DMA_DIRECT_REMAP is set which means that dma_alloc_coherent() might remap (and hence vmalloc()) some memory. This became visible in a design where dma_direct_use_pool() is not possible. With the above, when calling dma_free_coherent(), vunmap() would be called from softirq context and thus leading to a BUG(). To fix it, use a dma pool that is allocated in .device_alloc_chan_resources() and allocate blocks from it. The key point is that now dma_pool_free() is used in axi_dmac_free_desc() to free the blocks and that just frees the blocks from the pool in the sense they can be used again. In other words, no actual call to dma_free_coherent() happens. That only happens when destroying the pool in axi_dmac_free_chan_resources() which does not happen in any interrupt context.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xprtrdma: Initialize re_id before removal registration rpcrdma_create_id() registers ep->re_rn with the rpcrdma ib_client before returning the new rdma_cm_id to rpcrdma_ep_create(). However rpcrdma_ep_create() currently stores that pointer in ep->re_id only after rpcrdma_create_id() returns. A local administrator can race an NFS/RDMA mount against RDMA device removal. If rpcrdma_remove_one() observes the just-registered notification before rpcrdma_ep_create() assigns ep->re_id, rpcrdma_ep_removal_done() calls trace_xprtrdma_device_removal(NULL). The tracepoint dereferences id->device->name and copies id->route.addr.dst_addr, so the callback can crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference. Store the rdma_cm_id in ep->re_id immediately before publishing ep->re_rn. The existing error path still destroys the id directly if registration fails; ep is then freed by the caller without using ep->re_id. Remove the later duplicate assignment in rpcrdma_ep_create().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xprtrdma: Check frwr_wp_create() during connect frwr_wp_create() creates the singleton Memory Region used to encode padding for Write chunks whose payload length is not XDR-aligned. Its failure paths return a negative errno and leave ep->re_write_pad_mr set to NULL. rpcrdma_xprt_connect() currently ignores that return value. If frwr_wp_create() fails after the rest of the connection setup succeeds, xprt_rdma_connect_worker() treats the connection attempt as successful and sets XPRT_CONNECTED. A later NFS/RDMA read with a non-4-byte-aligned receive page length reaches rpcrdma_encode_write_list(), passes the NULL write-pad MR to encode_rdma_segment(), and dereferences it. This is locally triggerable on an NFS/RDMA client after a connect or reconnect hits a local MR allocation, DMA-map, MR-map, or post-send failure; a remote peer alone cannot force the local MR setup failure. Check the return value and fail the connect as -ENOTCONN, matching the adjacent setup failures. This keeps XPRT_CONNECTED clear and lets the normal reconnect path retry.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fix NULL pointer dereference in unpack_pdb pdb->dfa could be NULL if unpack_dfa fails, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fail policy unpack on accept2 allocation failure unpack_pdb() may need to allocate a missing ACCEPT2 table for older policy data. If that allocation failed, it set an error message but jumped to the success path, returning a policydb with the required table missing. Return -ENOMEM through the normal failure path when the ACCEPT2 allocation fails. Remove the now-unused out label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: release exe file resources on path failure get_current_exe_path() takes both an exe_file reference and a path reference before resolving the path name. If aa_path_name() failed, it returned immediately and leaked both references. Route the failure through the common cleanup path so fput() and path_put() always run after the references are acquired.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regcache: Do not overwrite error code when finalizing cache after error During regcache initialization, if an error occurs in the cache_ops->populate callback, and if cache operations include an exit callback, the error code from populate() is overwritten with the return value from exit(). This hides the error condition from the caller of regcache_init(), and can cause NULL pointer dereferences when the regcache is later accessed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-pf: Fix leak of SQ timestamp buffer on teardown The send-queue timestamp ring is allocated with qmem_alloc() when timestamping is used, but otx2_free_sq_res() never freed sq->timestamps, leaking that memory across ifdown and device removal. Add the missing qmem_free() alongside the other SQ companion buffers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag SCTP_DIAG endpoint dumping was traversing endpoint address lists without holding lock_sock(), while those lists could change concurrently via socket operations (e.g., bindx changes). This creates a race where nla_reserve() counts addresses under RCU protection, but the subsequent copy may see fewer entries, potentially leaking uninitialized memory to userspace. Fix this by: - Taking a reference on each endpoint during hash traversal - Moving socket operations (lock_sock()) outside read_lock_bh() - Serializing address list access during dump - Reworking sctp_for_each_endpoint() to support restart-based traversal with (net, pos) tracking Also: - Add WARN_ON_ONCE() for inconsistent address counts - Fix idiag_states filtering for LISTEN vs association cases - Skip dumping endpoints being freed (ep->base.dead) - Move dump position tracking into iterator, removing cb->args[4] and its comment for sctp_ep_dump()., - Update the comment for cb->args[4] and remove the comment for unused cb->args[5] for sctp_sock_dump(). Note: traversal is restart-based and may re-scan buckets multiple times, but this is acceptable due to small bucket sizes and required to support sleeping-safe callbacks. This issue was reported by Nico Yip (@_cyeaa_) working with TrendAI Zero Day Initiative.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: qcom: clear opened when stream enable fails On enable, subs->opened is set before the service_interval is validated; an invalid interval jumps to the response label without clearing it, so the substream is wedged at -EBUSY until a disable or disconnect. Clear subs->opened on the enable error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Kill MIDI 2.0 URBs before freeing endpoints MIDI 2.0 input URBs are started during snd_usb_midi_v2_create(). A later setup failure can still jump to snd_usb_midi_v2_free(), which currently frees each endpoint and its coherent URB buffers without first stopping the submitted URBs. A completion can then dereference the embedded URB context and endpoint state after they have been freed, or try to resubmit from the stale endpoint. This was observed as a KASAN slab-use-after-free in input_urb_complete(). The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: probe error path: USB completion path: 1. start_input_streams() submits 1. The HCD still owns a input URBs. submitted input URB. 2. A later setup helper returns 2. input_urb_complete() runs an error. with urb->context in ep. 3. snd_usb_midi_v2_free() frees 3. The completion reads ep endpoint storage and URB buffers. state and can requeue URBs. Make the endpoint destructor follow the same teardown ordering used for disconnect when the endpoint has not already been disconnected: publish ep->disconnected, kill the URBs synchronously, and drain the endpoint before freeing URB buffers and endpoint storage. The guard avoids repeating the stop sequence after the normal snd_usb_midi_v2_disconnect_all() path, while still synchronizing the direct MIDI 2.0 create-error free path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ieee802154: fix kernel-infoleak in dgram_recvmsg() KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak in move_addr_to_user(): BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in instrument_copy_to_user include/linux/instrumented.h:131 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _inline_copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:205 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _copy_to_user+0xcc/0x120 lib/usercopy.c:26 instrument_copy_to_user include/linux/instrumented.h:131 [inline] _inline_copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:205 [inline] _copy_to_user+0xcc/0x120 lib/usercopy.c:26 copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:236 [inline] move_addr_to_user+0x2e7/0x440 net/socket.c:302 ____sys_recvmsg+0x232/0x610 net/socket.c:2925 ... Uninit was stored to memory at: ieee802154_addr_to_sa include/net/ieee802154_netdev.h:369 [inline] dgram_recvmsg+0xa09/0xbe0 net/ieee802154/socket.c:739 The issue occurs because the `pan_id` field of `struct ieee802154_addr` is left uninitialized when the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`. The execution flow is as follows: 1. `__ieee802154_rx_handle_packet()` declares a local `struct ieee802154_hdr hdr` on the stack. 2. `ieee802154_hdr_pull()` calls `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` to parse the source and destination addresses into this structure. 3. If the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`, `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` previously only set the `mode` field, leaving the `pan_id` field containing uninitialized stack memory. 4. This uninitialized `pan_id` is later copied into a `struct sockaddr_ieee802154` in `dgram_recvmsg()` via `ieee802154_addr_to_sa()`. 5. Finally, `move_addr_to_user()` copies the socket address structure to user space, leaking the uninitialized bytes. Fix this by using `memset` to zero out the address structure in `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` when the mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid10: fix writes_pending leak on write request failures raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with md_write_start() before dispatching write requests. Several failure paths in raid10_write_request() complete the bio and return without reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding md_write_end() to be skipped. Make raid10_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write request was successfully queued. This allows raid10_make_request() to release the writes_pending reference with md_write_end() when a write request fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid1: free r1_bio when REQ_NOWAIT is set and read would block on retry When a read is retried, raid1_read_request() may be called with a pre-allocated r1_bio. If wait_read_barrier() fails for a REQ_NOWAIT read, the bio is completed and the function returns immediately. In this case the existing r1_bio is leaked. This fixes a leak of pre-allocated r1_bio structures for retried reads.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_meta_bridge: fix NFT_META_BRI_IIFPVID stack leak This needs to test for nonzero retval.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm_crb: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion object need to verify its presence. Accordingly, add a requisite ACPI_COMPANION() check against NULL to the tpm_crb driver.
