Information Disclosure
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
How It Works
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security. This happens through multiple channels: verbose error messages that display stack traces revealing internal paths and frameworks, improperly secured debug endpoints left active in production, and misconfigured servers that expose directory listings or version control artifacts like .git folders. APIs often leak excessive data in responses—returning full user objects when only a name is needed, or revealing system internals through metadata fields.
Attackers exploit these exposures systematically. They probe for common sensitive files (.env, config.php, backup archives), trigger error conditions to extract framework details, and analyze response timing or content differences to enumerate valid usernames or resources. Even subtle variations—like "invalid password" versus "user not found"—enable account enumeration. Exposed configuration files frequently contain database credentials, API keys, or internal service URLs that unlock further attack vectors.
The attack flow typically starts with passive reconnaissance: examining HTTP headers, JavaScript bundles, and public endpoints for version information and architecture clues. Active probing follows—testing predictable paths, manipulating parameters to trigger exceptions, and comparing responses across similar requests to identify information leakage patterns.
Impact
- Credential compromise: Exposed configuration files, hardcoded secrets in source code, or API keys enable direct authentication bypass
- Attack surface mapping: Stack traces, framework versions, and internal paths help attackers craft targeted exploits for known vulnerabilities
- Data breach: Direct exposure of user data, payment information, or proprietary business logic through oversharing APIs or accessible backups
- Privilege escalation pathway: Internal URLs, service discovery information, and architecture details facilitate lateral movement and SSRF attacks
- Compliance violations: GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA penalties for exposing regulated data through preventable disclosures
Real-World Examples
A major Git repository exposure affected thousands of websites when .git folders remained accessible on production servers, allowing attackers to reconstruct entire source code histories including deleted commits containing credentials. Tools like GitDumper automated mass exploitation of this misconfiguration.
Cloud storage misconfigurations have repeatedly exposed sensitive data when companies left S3 buckets or Azure Blob containers publicly readable. One incident exposed 150 million voter records because verbose API error messages revealed the storage URL structure, and no authentication was required.
Framework debug modes left enabled in production have caused numerous breaches. Django's DEBUG=True setting exposed complete stack traces with database queries and environment variables, while Laravel's debug pages revealed encryption keys through the APP_KEY variable in environment dumps.
Mitigation
- Generic error pages: Return uniform error messages to users; log detailed exceptions server-side only
- Disable debug modes: Enforce production configurations that suppress stack traces, verbose logging, and debug endpoints through deployment automation
- Access control audits: Restrict or remove development artifacts (
.git, backup files,phpinfo()) and internal endpoints before deployment - Response minimization: API responses should return only necessary fields; implement allowlists rather than blocklists for data exposure
- Security headers: Deploy
X-Content-Type-Options, remove server version banners, and disable directory indexing - Timing consistency: Ensure authentication and validation responses take uniform time regardless of input validity

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: gre: fix lltx regression for GRE tunnels with SEQ/CSUM Before commit 00d066a4d4ed ("netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_LLTX to dev->lltx"), NETIF_F_LLTX was set unconditionally in both __gre_tunnel_init() and ip6gre_tnl_init_features() alongside GRE_FEATURES: dev->features |= GRE_FEATURES | NETIF_F_LLTX; When that commit converted NETIF_F_LLTX to the dev->lltx flag, it placed 'dev->lltx = true' after the SEQ/CSUM early returns instead of before them. This causes GRE/GRETAP/ip6gre tunnels with SEQ or CSUM+encap to lose lockless TX, reintroducing _xmit_lock acquisition around their ndo_start_xmit. Since GRE xmit re-enters the stack via ip_tunnel_xmit(), holding _xmit_lock risks ABBA deadlock with the underlay device. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#6); lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#3); lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#6); lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#3); Fix by moving dev->lltx = true before the early returns in both functions, restoring the original unconditional behavior.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: prevent tstamp ring allocation for non-PF VSI types The pf->txtime_txqs bitmap tracks which Tx queues have ETF (Earliest TxTime First) offload enabled. This bitmap is indexed by queue number and is set by ice_offload_txtime(), which only operates on PF VSI queues. However, ice_is_txtime_ena() does not check the VSI type before consulting the bitmap. When ETF offload is enabled on PF Tx queue 0, bit 0 is set in pf->txtime_txqs. During a subsequent PCI reset rebuild, the CTRL VSI's Tx queue 0 is reconfigured and ice_is_txtime_ena() is called for that ring. Since it only checks pf->txtime_txqs by queue index without distinguishing VSI type, it finds bit 0 set and returns true, matching the PF VSI's ETF queue, not the CTRL VSI's. This causes ice_vsi_cfg_txq() to spuriously allocate a tstamp_ring for the CTRL VSI ring. Since CTRL VSI rings have no associated netdev, ice_clean_tx_ring() takes an early return at the !netdev check before reaching ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring(), leaking the allocation. Each PCI reset leaks one 64-byte tstamp_ring. Fix this by restricting ice_is_txtime_ena() to return true only for PF VSI rings, since txtime_txqs is only meaningful for PF VSI queues.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: drop_monitor: fix info leak in NET_DM_ATTR_PAYLOAD net_dm_packet_report_fill() and net_dm_hw_packet_report_fill() open code the NET_DM_ATTR_PAYLOAD attribute to avoid zeroing the packet payload before overwriting it with skb_copy_bits(). skb_put() reserves nla_total_size(payload_len), i.e. the header plus the NLA_ALIGN() padding, but only payload_len bytes are copied in. When payload_len is not a multiple of 4 the 1-3 padding bytes are never initialized and are leaked to user space inside the netlink message. KMSAN confirms the leak for the software path when the packet payload length is not 4-byte aligned: BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _copy_to_iter _copy_to_iter __skb_datagram_iter skb_copy_datagram_iter netlink_recvmsg sock_recvmsg __sys_recvfrom Uninit was created at: kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof __alloc_skb net_dm_packet_work Bytes 173-175 of 176 are uninitialized Use __nla_reserve(), which sets up the attribute header and zeroes the padding, instead of open coding the attribute construction.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drop_monitor: perform u64_stats updates under IRQ-disabled section In net_dm_packet_trace_kfree_skb_hit() and net_dm_hw_trap_packet_probe(), u64_stats_update_begin() / u64_stats_inc() / u64_stats_update_end() were called after spin_unlock_irqrestore(&...drop_queue.lock, flags), when local IRQs had already been re-enabled. Tracepoint probes can execute in IRQ or softirq context. On 32-bit architectures, u64_stats_update_begin() disables preemption but not interrupts, relying on seqcount writes. If a nested interrupt occurs on the same CPU during the 64-bit stats update, the reentrant seqcount update can corrupt the seqcount state or stats value. Fix this by performing the 64-bit per-CPU stats update before releasing drop_queue.lock via spin_unlock_irqrestore(), ensuring local interrupts remain disabled during the u64_stats update.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: BPF: Fix memory leak in bpf_jit_free() When bpf_int_jit_compile() is called for subprograms, it returns early during the first pass (!prog->is_func || extra_pass is false), keeping ctx->offset alive for the subsequent extra pass. If JIT compilation fails for a later subprogram, the BPF core aborts and calls bpf_jit_free() to clean up the first subprogram. However, bpf_jit_free() fails to free jit_data->ctx.offset, which causes a memory leak of the JIT context offsets array. So fix this by adding the missing kvfree(jit_data->ctx.offset) in bpf_jit_free().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: Count paired job fence as dependency in prepare_job() The DRM scheduler's prepare_job() callback counts the remaining non-signaled native dependencies for a job, preventing job submission until those (plus job data and fence update) can fit in the job queue's CCCB. This means checking which dependencies can be waited upon in the firmware, i.e. whether they are backed by a UFO object, i.e. whether their drm_sched_fence::parent has been assigned to a pvr_queue_fence::base fence. That happens when the job owning the fence is submitted to the firmware. Paired geometry and fragment jobs are submitted at the same time, which means the dependency between them can't be checked this way before submission. Update job_count_remaining_native_deps() to take into account the dependency between paired jobs. This fixes cases where prepare_job() underestimated the space left in an almost full fragment CCCB, wrongly unblocking run_job(), which then returned early without writing the full sequence of commands to the CCCB. The above lead to kernel warnings such as the following and potentially job timeouts (depending on waiters on the missing commands): [ 375.702979] WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/imagination/pvr_cccb.c:178 at pvr_cccb_write_command_with_header+0x2c4/0x330 [powervr], CPU#1: kworker/u16:3/47 [ 375.703160] Modules linked in: [ 375.703571] CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 47 Comm: kworker/u16:3 Tainted: G W 7.0.0-rc2-g817eb6b11ad5 #40 PREEMPT [ 375.703613] Tainted: [W]=WARN [ 375.703627] Hardware name: Texas Instruments AM625 SK (DT) [ 375.703645] Workqueue: powervr-sched drm_sched_run_job_work [gpu_sched] [ 375.703741] pstate: 80000005 (Nzcv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 375.703764] pc : pvr_cccb_write_command_with_header+0x2c4/0x330 [powervr] [ 375.703847] lr : pvr_queue_submit_job_to_cccb+0x578/0xa70 [powervr] [ 375.703921] sp : ffff800084a97650 [ 375.703934] x29: ffff800084a97740 x28: 0000000000000958 x27: ffff80008565d000 [ 375.703979] x26: 0000000000000030 x25: ffff800084a97680 x24: 0000000000001000 [ 375.704017] x23: ffff800084a97820 x22: 1ffff00010952ecc x21: 0000000000000008 [ 375.704056] x20: 00000000000006a8 x19: ffff00002ff7da88 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 375.704093] x17: 0000000020020000 x16: 0000000000020000 x15: 0000000000000000 [ 375.704132] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 0000000000000000 x12: 0000000000000000 [ 375.704168] x11: 000000000000f2f2 x10: 00000000f3000000 x9 : 00000000f3f3f3f3 [ 375.704206] x8 : 00000000f2f2f200 x7 : ffff700010952ecc x6 : 0000000000000008 [ 375.704243] x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 1ffff00010acba00 x3 : 0000000000000000 [ 375.704279] x2 : 0000000000000007 x1 : 0000000000000fff x0 : 000000000000002f [ 375.704317] Call trace: [ 375.704331] pvr_cccb_write_command_with_header+0x2c4/0x330 [powervr] (P) [ 375.704411] pvr_queue_submit_job_to_cccb+0x578/0xa70 [powervr] [ 375.704487] pvr_queue_run_job+0x3a4/0x990 [powervr] [ 375.704562] drm_sched_run_job_work+0x580/0xd48 [gpu_sched] [ 375.704623] process_one_work+0x520/0x1288 [ 375.704658] worker_thread+0x3f0/0xb3c [ 375.704680] kthread+0x334/0x3d8 [ 375.704706] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [ 375.704736] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/bridge: cdns-dsi: Replace deprecated UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS() The deprecated UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS() macro uses the provided callbacks for both runtime PM and system sleep. This causes the DSI clocks to be disabled twice: once during runtime suspend and again during system suspend, resulting in a WARN message from the clock framework when attempting to disable already-disabled clocks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/dp/mst: fix OOB reads in remote DPCD/I2C sideband reply parsers drm_dp_sideband_parse_remote_dpcd_read() reads num_bytes from the raw message and then unconditionally does: memcpy(bytes, &raw->msg[idx], num_bytes); without checking that idx + num_bytes <= raw->curlen. raw->msg[] is 256 bytes; if a malicious or misbehaving MST hub sets num_bytes larger than the remaining payload, the memcpy reads past the received data into whatever follows in raw->msg[]. drm_dp_sideband_parse_remote_i2c_read_ack() has the same flaw (noted with a /* TODO check */ comment since the code was introduced). Fix both functions by using a single combined check (idx + num_bytes > curlen) before each memcpy. Since num_bytes is u8, it is always >= 0, so this strictly subsumes the simpler idx > curlen form and no separate step is needed. [added missing fixes tag]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/dp/mst: fix OOB reads on 2-byte fields in sideband reply parsers Three sideband reply parsers read 16-bit fields as: val = (raw->msg[idx] << 8) | (raw->msg[idx+1]); and check bounds only after the fact. When idx == raw->curlen, raw->msg[idx+1] reads one byte past the received message data into the following struct fields (curchunk_len, curchunk_idx, curlen). Affected functions: - drm_dp_sideband_parse_enum_path_resources_ack() full_payload_bw_number and avail_payload_bw_number fields - drm_dp_sideband_parse_allocate_payload_ack() allocated_pbn field - drm_dp_sideband_parse_query_payload_ack() allocated_pbn field Fix by using a single combined check (idx + 2 > curlen) before each 2-byte read. Since the check is strictly tighter than idx > curlen, no separate step is needed. [added fixes tag]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: validate CP_GFX_SHADOW chunk size in CS pass1 Add a minimum-length check for the AMDGPU_CHUNK_ID_CP_GFX_SHADOW chunk in amdgpu_cs_pass1(), matching the gate already present for the IB, FENCE and BO_HANDLES chunk types. The CP_GFX_SHADOW case previously shared a bare break with the dependency and syncobj chunk types, which do not dereference a fixed-size struct. When userspace submits this chunk with length_dw == 0, vmemdup_array_user() is called with size 0 and returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the IS_ERR() check. amdgpu_cs_p2_shadow() then dereferences chunk->kdata as a struct drm_amdgpu_cs_chunk_cp_gfx_shadow (reading shadow->flags), faulting on the ZERO_SIZE_PTR and causing a NULL-pointer dereference. This is reachable by an unprivileged process in the render group. Reject undersized chunks with -EINVAL during pass1 so the bad submission is rejected before pass2 ever dereferences the data. (cherry picked from commit 7f61b2eef7415eccdb40850aca0de94211948657)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau: fix reversed error cleanup order in ucopy functions nouveau_uvmm_vm_bind_ucopy() and nouveau_exec_ucopy() place their error cleanup labels in allocation order rather than reverse allocation order. On a u_memcpya() failure for in_sync.s, the goto to err_free_ops (or err_free_pushs) frees the first allocation and then falls through to err_free_ins, which calls u_free() on args->in_sync.s. Since args->in_sync.s still holds the ERR_PTR returned by the failed u_memcpya(), and ERR_PTR values are not caught by ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), kvfree() proceeds to dereference it, which can result in a kernel oops. A failure for out_sync.s instead jumps to err_free_ins and skips freeing the first allocation, leading to a memory leak. Fix by swapping the cleanup label order so resources are freed in the correct reverse allocation sequence.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/gem: Add missing nospec on parallel submit slot Add missing Spectre mitigation for userspace controlled parallel submission slot.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Return error on non-migratable faults requiring devmem Non-migratable faults that require devmem incorrectly jump to the 'out' label, which squashes the error code intended to be returned to the upper layers. Fix this by returning -EACCES instead. (cherry picked from commit c4508edb2c723de93717272488ea65b165637eac)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/rtp: Add RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV_DENY to OA whitelists Unconditionally whitelisting OA registers is a security violation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Check bounds in allocate_event_notification_slot The valid event ids go from 0 to KFD_SIGNAL_EVENT_LIMIT allocate_event_notification_slot has an option to specify an event id to allocate at, used by CRIU. We weren't checking the bounds on that value. Check them. v2: Lower bounds check is unecessary because of idr_alloc already rejecting negative numbers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: detect_link_and_local_sink: DP alt mode timeout path leaks prev_sink reference prev_sink is unconditionally retained via dc_sink_retain at function entry, but the DP alt mode timeout path inside SIGNAL_TYPE_DISPLAY_PORT returns false without releasing prev_sink. All other return paths in the function correctly call dc_sink_release(prev_sink), making this the only missing cleanup. (cherry picked from commit 45510cf662dcf46b5d8926d454f338809f107b9d)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/vrr: require valid min/max vfreq for VRR Ensure the EDID provided min/max vfreq are valid. Most scenarios are already covered (by coincidence) through the checks in intel_vrr_is_capable() and intel_vrr_is_in_range(), but be more explicit about it. At worst, a zero min_vfreq could lead to a division by zero in intel_vrr_compute_vmax(). Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/mst: limit DP MST ESI service loop The loop in intel_dp_check_mst_status() keeps servicing interrupts originating from the sink without bound. Add an upper bound to the new interrupts occurring during interrupt processing to not get stuck on potentially stuck sink devices. Use arbitrary 32 tries to clear incoming interrupts in one go. Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security. Note: The condition likely pre-dates the commit in the Fixes: tag, but this is about as far back as a backport has any chance of succeeding. Before that, the retry had a goto.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Release VFCT ACPI table reference amdgpu_acpi_vfct_bios() fetches the VFCT table with acpi_get_table() but never releases it. acpi_get_table() takes a reference on the table (incrementing its validation_count and mapping it on the 0->1 transition); without a paired acpi_put_table() the mapping is leaked on every call, whether or not a matching VBIOS image is found. Route all exit paths after the table is acquired through a common acpi_put_table(). The VBIOS image is copied out with kmemdup() before the table is released, so it remains valid for the caller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/userq: fix indefinite fence wait during GPU reset pre_reset only force-completes fences of MAPPED queues. A queue in any other state (e.g. mid-eviction) keeps its last_fence pending; after a GPU reset that fence never signals, so the eviction/suspend worker and process teardown (amdgpu_evf_mgr_flush_suspend) wait on it forever and wedge the machine: INFO: task kworker/6:28 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix bo->pin leaking in amdgpu_bo_create_reserved amdgpu_bo_create_reserved() only allocates a new BO when *bo_ptr (struct amdgpu_bo **bo_ptr as input parameter) is NULL, it simply skips creation when *bo_ptr is non-NULL. But it unconditionally reserves, pins, gart allocates and maps the BO afterwards. When the same non-NULL BO pointer is passed in again, for example firmware buffers that live in adev and are re-loaded on every resume / cp_resume / start under AMDGPU_FW_LOAD_DIRECT, amdgpu_bo_pin() just increases pin_count unconditionally, however the matching teardown only unpins once, so pin_count never drops to zero, so TTM is not able to move, swap or evict a BO, causing BO leaks. This commit fixes this issue by only pinning the bo once at creation, and repeated calls no longer take additional pin references. (cherry picked from commit 3ddc0ae76202c447b6aec61e907b852bc94671cf)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: Shut down BO cache timer before teardown The BO cache timer callback schedules time_work, and time_work can rearm the timer through vc4_bo_cache_free_old(). vc4_bo_cache_destroy() deletes the timer and then cancels the work, which does not break that cycle: the work being cancelled can rearm the timer, and the timer then queues work again after teardown. Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead, so the timer cannot be rearmed and the cycle ends with cancel_work_sync().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gpusvm: Fix MM reference leak in drm_gpusvm_range_evict If kvmalloc_array() fails in drm_gpusvm_range_evict(), the MM reference acquired earlier is not released, resulting in a reference leak. Fix this by dropping the MM reference on the kvmalloc_array() failure path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: airspy: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure The vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before calling start_streaming(). If start_streaming() returns an error without first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(), vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued buffers leak. airspy_start_streaming() returned -ENODEV early when the USB device had been disconnected (s->udev == NULL) without returning any buffers that buf_queue() had already accepted. Take v4l2_lock first and jump to the existing err_clear_bit label, which already drains s->queued_bufs via vb2_buffer_done(..., VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED) before unlocking. This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb ("media: uvcvideo: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure").
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: cx231xx: fix devres lifetime USB drivers bind to USB interfaces and any device managed resources should have their lifetime tied to the interface rather than parent USB device. This avoids issues like memory leaks when drivers are unbound without their devices being physically disconnected (e.g. on probe deferral or configuration changes). Fix the driver state lifetime so that it is released on driver unbind.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: i2c: alvium: fix critical pointer access in alvium_ctrl_init The current implementation of alvium_ctrl_init creates several controls in function alvium_ctrl_init and uses the returned pointer without check. That can cause write access over NULL-pointer for several controls. The reworked code checks the pointers before adding flags.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: mali-c55: Fix possible ERR_PTR in enable_streams The media_pad_remote_pad_unique() function returns either a valid pointer or an ERR_PTR() on failure (-ENOTUNIQ if multiple links are enabled, -ENOLINK if no connected pad is found). The return value was assigned directly to isp->remote_src and dereferenced in the next line without checking for errors, which could lead to an ERR_PTR dereference. Add proper error checking with IS_ERR() before dereferencing the pointer. Also set isp->remote_src to NULL on error to maintain consistency with other error paths in the function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: meson: vdec: Fix memory leak in error path of vdec_open The vdec_open() function previously jumped directly to err_m2m_release when vdec_init_ctrls() failed, skipping release of the m2m context. This caused a resource leak. Fix it by introducing a proper err_m2m_ctx_release label that calls v4l2_m2m_ctx_release(sess->m2m_ctx) before releasing the m2m device. This was identified via kmemleak: unreferenced object 0xffff0000205d6878 (size 8): comm "v4l_id", pid 5289, jiffies 4294938580 hex dump (first 8 bytes): 40 d2 49 18 00 00 ff ff @.I..... backtrace (crc d3204599): kmemleak_alloc+0xc8/0xf0 __kvmalloc_node_noprof+0x60c/0x850 v4l2_ctrl_handler_init_class+0x1b4/0x2e8 [videodev] vdec_open+0x1f4/0x788 [meson_vdec] v4l2_open+0x144/0x460 [videodev] chrdev_open+0x1ac/0x500 do_dentry_open+0x3f0/0xfe8 vfs_open+0x68/0x320 do_open+0x2d8/0x9a8 path_openat+0x1d0/0x4f0 do_filp_open+0x190/0x380 do_sys_openat2+0xf8/0x1b0 __arm64_sys_openat+0x13c/0x1e8 invoke_syscall+0xdc/0x268 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x178/0x258 do_el0_svc+0x4c/0x70
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: nuvoton: npcm-video: fix memory leaks in probe and remove npcm_video_probe() allocates the npcm_video structure with kzalloc_obj() but never frees it on any probe error path or in npcm_video_remove(), leaking the allocation on every failed probe and every normal unbind. Additionally, when npcm_video_setup_video() fails, the reserved memory association established by of_reserved_mem_device_init() in npcm_video_init() is not released, leaking the rmem_assigned_device entry on the global list. Fix both by adding kfree(video) to all probe error paths and to npcm_video_remove(), and adding the missing of_reserved_mem_device_release() call when npcm_video_setup_video() fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: nxp: imx8-isi: Add missing v4l2_subdev_cleanup() in crossbar and pipe Both mxc_isi_crossbar_init() and mxc_isi_pipe_init() call v4l2_subdev_init_finalize() which allocates the subdev active state, but neither mxc_isi_crossbar_cleanup() nor mxc_isi_pipe_cleanup() calls v4l2_subdev_cleanup() to free it. This causes a memory leak on every rmmod, reported by kmemleak: unreferenced object 0xffff0000d06fc800 (size 192): comm "(udev-worker)", pid 254, jiffies 4294913455 backtrace (crc 36eeae58): kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x40 __kvmalloc_node_noprof+0x5f8/0x7d8 __v4l2_subdev_state_alloc+0x1fc/0x30c __v4l2_subdev_init_finalize+0x178/0x368 Add the missing v4l2_subdev_cleanup() calls before media_entity_cleanup() in both crossbar and pipe cleanup paths.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: pci: dm1105: Free allocated workqueue Destroy allocated workqueue in remove() callback to free its resources, thus fixing memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: pwc: Drain fill_buf on start_streaming() failure pwc_isoc_init() submits its isochronous URBs with usb_submit_urb(.., GFP_KERNEL) in a loop. After the first URB is submitted, its completion handler pwc_isoc_handler() can run on another CPU before the loop finishes: start_streaming() pwc_isoc_init() usb_submit_urb(urbs[0], GFP_KERNEL) pwc_isoc_handler(urbs[0]) pdev->fill_buf = pwc_get_next_fill_buf(pdev) usb_submit_urb(urbs[i>0], ..) -> fails pwc_isoc_cleanup(pdev) /* kills URBs */ return ret; pwc_cleanup_queued_bufs(pdev, VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED) pwc_get_next_fill_buf() detaches a buffer from pdev->queued_bufs and stores it in pdev->fill_buf. The error path in start_streaming() only drains pdev->queued_bufs, so the buffer parked in pdev->fill_buf is leaked. vb2_start_streaming() then triggers WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count). stop_streaming() already handles this since commit 80b0963e1698 ("[media] pwc: fix WARN_ON"), which added the fill_buf drain in the teardown path but not in the start_streaming() error path. Mirror that handling on failure so start_streaming() returns with no buffer owned by the driver. Issue identified by automated review of the INV-003 series at https://sashiko.dev/
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: radio-si476x: Unregister v4l2_device on probe failure si476x_radio_probe() registers radio->v4l2dev before allocating the V4L2 controls and before registering the video device. If any of those later steps fails, probe returns through the exit label after freeing only the control handler. A failed probe does not call si476x_radio_remove(), so the v4l2_device_unregister() there is not reached. This leaves the parent device reference taken by v4l2_device_register() behind on the error path. Unregister the V4L2 device in the probe error path after freeing the controls.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: rtl2832: fix use-after-free in rtl2832_remove() cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called before i2c_mux_del_adapters() in rtl2832_remove(). While the cancel waits for any running instance of i2c_gate_work to finish, it does not prevent the timer from being rescheduled by a concurrent thread. During probe, the r820t_attach() call attempts I2C transfers through the mux adapter. These transfers go through i2c_mux_master_xfer(), which calls rtl2832_deselect() after the transfer completes, rescheduling i2c_gate_work via schedule_delayed_work(). If this transfer is still in flight when rtl2832_remove() runs, rtl2832_deselect() can reschedule i2c_gate_work after it has been cancelled, causing a use-after-free when kfree(dev) is called. Fix this by calling i2c_mux_del_adapters() before cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Once the mux adapter is unregistered, no new I2C transfers can go through it, so rtl2832_deselect() can no longer reschedule i2c_gate_work. The subsequent cancel_delayed_work_sync() is then guaranteed to be final.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: saa7134: Fix a possible memory leak in saa7134_video_init1 In saa7134_video_init1(), the return value of the first saa7134_pgtable_alloc() is not checked. If it fails, the function continues as if successful, leaving the driver with an invalid page table. Additionally, if vb2_queue_init() for the VBI queue fails after the video queue page table has been allocated, the allocated memory is not freed before returning. The second saa7134_pgtable_alloc() also lacks a return value check. Errors occur during device probing before the device is fully registered, the normal cleanup path in saa7134_finidev() is not executed, leading to memory leaks and potential use of uninitialized DMA resources. Check the return value of both saa7134_pgtable_alloc() calls and propagate errors. On failure of any later step, free allocated page tables to avoid memory leaks. Ensure control handlers are also released on error to prevent further resource leakage. Found by code review.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: stm32-dcmipp: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure The vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before calling start_streaming(). If start_streaming() returns an error without first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(), vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued buffers leak. dcmipp_bytecap_start_streaming() returned -EINVAL when the source subdevice could not be resolved from the media graph, before pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and media_pipeline_start() had been called. The remaining error paths already converge on the err_buffer_done label, which calls dcmipp_bytecap_all_buffers_done(..., VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED). Jump to that label directly: the intermediate err_pm_put / err_media_pipeline_stop labels are skipped, which is correct because nothing they would undo has happened yet. This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb ("media: uvcvideo: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure").
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: ti: vpe: unwind v4l2 device registration on probe error If the vpe_top resource is missing, vpe_probe() returns -ENODEV after v4l2_device_register() has succeeded. Probe failures do not call the driver's remove callback, so the v4l2 device remains registered on that error path. Route that failure through the existing v4l2_device_unregister() unwind label, matching the other errors after v4l2_device_register().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: v4l2-fwnode: Fix subdev owner overwritten in v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() The v4l2 helper v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() calls v4l2_async_register_subdev(), which is a macro that expands to __v4l2_async_register_subdev(sd,THIS_MODULE). Since the macro is expanded inside v4l2-fwnode.c, THIS_MODULE resolves to the v4l2-fwnode module rather than the sensor driver module that originally set sd->owner. When v4l2-fwnode is built-in, THIS_MODULE evaluates to NULL, which then overwrites the sensor driver's owner with NULL. This causes the problem that the sensor module's reference count is never incremented during async registration, so the module can be removed while the subdevice is still in use by a notifier (e.g., a CSI-2 receiver bridge driver). Fix this by renaming v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() to __v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() with an added explicit module argument and introducing a wrapper macro: #define v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor(sd) \ __v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor(sd, THIS_MODULE) This ensures the sensor driver module is properly referenced even when the sensor driver does not init the owner field before calling v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() and prevents premature module removal.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: vivid: fix cleanup bugs in vivid_init() When platform_device_register() fails in vivid_init(), the embedded struct device in vivid_pdev has already been initialized by device_initialize(), but the failure path jumps to free_output_strings without dropping the device reference for the current platform device: vivid_init() -> platform_device_register(&vivid_pdev) -> device_initialize(&vivid_pdev.dev) -> setup_pdev_dma_masks(&vivid_pdev) -> platform_device_add(&vivid_pdev) This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_register() fails. Fix this by calling platform_device_put() before jumping to the common cleanup path. Also, the unreg_driver label incorrectly calls platform_driver_register() instead of platform_driver_unregister(), which breaks cleanup when workqueue creation fails after successful driver registration. Fix that as well. The reference leak was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and confirmed by manual review. The incorrect cleanup call was found during code inspection.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB reads in rtw_get_wps_ie() rtw_get_wps_ie() iterates over IE data from network frames without validating that the IE header and payload fit within the remaining buffer before reading them. Specifically: - in_ie[cnt + 1] is read without checking cnt + 1 < in_len - memcmp(&in_ie[cnt + 2], ...) accesses cnt + 2 without bounds check - in_ie[cnt + 1] is used as length without verifying payload fits Add bounds checks at the top of the loop body to break early if fewer than 2 bytes remain for the IE header, or if the declared payload extends past the end of the buffer. Also require at least 4 bytes of payload before comparing the WPS OUI.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: Fix session UAF in set_termios rfcomm_tty_set_termios() tests dlc->session without rfcomm_mutex and later passes the pointer to rfcomm_send_rpn(). The latter dereferences both session->initiator and session->sock. Meanwhile, krfcommd can unlink the DLC and free the session while holding rfcomm_mutex. The race can proceed as follows: TTY ioctl task krfcommd -------------- -------- load dlc->session enter rfcomm_send_rpn() lock rfcomm_mutex clear dlc->session free session unlock rfcomm_mutex read session->initiator KASAN reported: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rfcomm_send_rpn+0x297/0x2a0 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810012a850 by task poc/92 Call Trace: rfcomm_send_rpn+0x297/0x2a0 rfcomm_tty_set_termios+0x50d/0x850 tty_set_termios+0x596/0x950 set_termios+0x46a/0x6e0 tty_mode_ioctl+0x152/0xbd0 tty_ioctl+0x915/0x1240 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x134/0x1c0 Allocated by task 92: rfcomm_session_add+0x9e/0x2e0 rfcomm_dlc_open+0x8b1/0xe00 rfcomm_dev_activate+0x85/0x1a0 rfcomm_tty_open+0x90/0x280 Freed by task 68: kfree+0x131/0x3c0 rfcomm_session_del+0x119/0x180 rfcomm_run+0x737/0x4710 Add rfcomm_dlc_send_rpn(), which holds rfcomm_mutex while it verifies that the DLC is still attached and sends the RPN frame. Have the TTY path use the helper and drop its unlocked session check. This keeps the session valid through both the frame construction and socket send.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: exec: fix unsigned loop counter wrap in transfer_args_to_stack() The stop value is derived from bprm->p >> PAGE_SHIFT. The index variable is an unsigned long. If bprm->p drops below PAGE_SIZE and stop becomes zero the loop condition index >= stop is always true. After the index == 0 iteration the decrement wraps to ULONG_MAX and bprm->page[ULONG_MAX] reads sizeof(void *) bytes in front of the array. The pointer has wrapped to -1. That garbage pointer is then passed to kmap_local_page() and PAGE_SIZE bytes are copied from wherever that lands into the stack of the process being created. And the loop doesn't terminate either... Getting there only requires bprm->p < PAGE_SIZE. On !MMU bprm_set_stack_limit() and bprm_hit_stack_limit() are empty. So the only constraint on how far bprm->p is pushed down is valid_arg_len(), i.e. that each individual string still fits in what is left. bprm->p starts at PAGE_SIZE * MAX_ARG_PAGES - sizeof(void *) so a single argument or environment string of a little over 31 pages leaves it in the first page: Oops - load access fault [#1] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: victim Not tainted 7.2.0-rc4 #1 epc : __memcpy+0xd4/0xf8 ra : transfer_args_to_stack+0xaa/0xae s4 : ffffffffffffffff s2 : 0000000000000000 a1 : ffffffdc98000000 a2 : 0000000000001000 status: 0000000a00001880 badaddr: ffffffdc98000000 cause: 0000000000000005 [<801a5324>] __memcpy+0xd4/0xf8 [<800d5f6a>] load_flat_binary+0x43a/0x65e [<800a2de4>] bprm_execve+0x1d4/0x316 [<800a351a>] do_execveat_common+0x12e/0x138 [<800a3d44>] __riscv_sys_execve+0x38/0x4e Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt This is an arcane bug but we should still fix it. Count down from MAX_ARG_PAGES so the loop ends when index reaches stop, stop == 0 included. The iterations performed are unchanged for every other value of stop. Only CONFIG_MMU=n builds are affected, transfer_args_to_stack() is used by binfmt_flat and binfmt_elf_fdpic on nommu only. The loop predates git history. commit 7e7ec6a93434 ("elf_fdpic_transfer_args_to_stack(): make it generic") only moved it from binfmt_elf_fdpic.c into fs/exec.c and narrowed the copy to the used part of the first page. The condition and the decrement are unchanged from 2.6.12-rc2.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: binfmt_misc: set have_execfd only once the interpreter is opened load_misc_binary() raises bprm->have_execfd as soon as it sees the 'O' (or 'C') flag. This happens well before it opens the interpreter. If that open fails the flag stays set on the bprm. binfmt_misc is at the head of the format list so an interpreter open failure that returns -ENOEXEC lets the search fall through to a later format. This means it runs the matched binary directly having never staged an interpreter. So bprm->executable is NULL while have_execfd falsely claims a descriptor is present. Consequently, begin_new_exec() dereferences the missing executable: would_dump(bprm, bprm->executable); and NULL derefs. Had it not, the hand-off later in the same function would have failed anyway. FD_ADD(0, bprm->executable) rejects a NULL file with -ENOMEM. Both sites are past the point of no return so the exec cannot be unwound either way. This can be reached by unprivileged users as binfmt_misc can be mounted in user namespaces. So a user can register an 'O' entry whose interpreter lives on a FUSE mount, have the FUSE server fail the open with -ENOEXEC and execute a native ELF file that matches the entry. have_execfd only means anything alongside the executable it describes which is not set until the interpreter has been opened and staged. So lets raise it there, next to execfd_creds, which is already set at that point. An open failure now leaves it clear, so the fallback format derives credentials from the binary and emits no AT_EXECFD, as it would for any native exec. The argv rewrite load_misc_binary() performs before the open is still not undone. This means the binary sees the interpreter path in argv[0] and its own path in argv[1] but that predates this change and only became observable once the exec stopped faulting.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Move jump_label_init() before parse_early_param() When enabling both CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y and CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=y, then diabling memory profiling by adding the boot parameter 'sysctl.vm.mem_profiling=0' will cause the kernel failed to boot. After analysis, this is because jump_label_init() must be called before parse_early_param(), the early param handlers may modify static keys by static_branch_enable/disable(). Fix this by moving jump_label_init() to before parse_early_param(). The solution is similar to other architectures.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: stratix10-svc: fix memory leaks and list corruption bugs Fix a memory leak when gen_pool_alloc() fails by freeing pmem on the error path. Switch pmem allocation from devm_kzalloc() to kzalloc() with explicit kfree() in the free path to match its list-managed lifetime. Remove the erroneous list_del(&svc_data_mem) which corrupted the list head on failed lookups.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: comedi: comedi_parport: deal with premature interrupt Syzbot reported a general protection fault in `comedi_get_is_subdevice_running()`, which was called from the interrupt handler `parport_interrupt()` in the "comedi_parport" driver, but it does not currently have a C reproducer for the problem. It's probably due to a premature interrupt for one of two reasons: 1. The driver sets up the interrupt handler before the comedi subdevices used by the interrupt handler have been allocated, but does not disable the interrupt in the parallel port's CTRL register first. 2. The driver uses a user-supplied I/O port base address which Syzbot would have supplied, but it might not be backed by real parallel port hardware. Change the initialization order in the driver's comedi "attach" handler (`parport_attach()`) so that the hardware registers are initialized before the interrupt handler is requested. This should prevent premature interrupts occurring for real hardware. Also add a test to the interrupt handler to ensure the comedi device is fully attached and return early if it isn't.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mei: bus: access mei_device under device_lock on cleanup Fix couple of problems in mei_cl_bus_dev_release(): mei_cl_flush_queues() is running without lock. bus->file_list access after mei_dev_bus_put(bus) can become a use-after-free if this was the last reference to bus. Protect queues cleanup and WARN traversal by device lock there to avoid the concurrent access problems. Move WARN traversal before mei_dev_bus_put(bus). This file uses bus variable name for mei_device, adjust code of mei_cl_bus_dev_release() to use bus variable too.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: intel_th: fix MSC output device reference leak intel_th_output_open() looks up the output device with bus_find_device_by_devt(), which returns the device with a reference that must be dropped after use. commit 95fc36a234da ("intel_th: fix device leak on output open()") attempted to drop the reference from intel_th_output_release(). However, a successful open replaces file->f_op with the output driver file operations before returning, so close runs the output driver release callback instead. For MSC outputs, close runs intel_th_msc_release(), which only removes the per-file iterator and does not drop the device reference taken by intel_th_output_open(). Consequently, every successful MSC output open leaks one device reference. Drop the device reference from intel_th_msc_release(), which is the release path actually used for MSC output files. Remove the now-unused intel_th_output_release() callback from intel_th_output_fops.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix mmiotrace possible NULL dereferencing of hiter->dev If the mmio_pipe_open() fails to find a PCI device, the hiter->dev will be assigned to NULL. The mmiotrace read() function dereferences the hiter->dev if hiter exists. Change the test of the read to not only check hiter being NULL, but also the hiter->dev before dereferencing it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix resource leak on mmiotrace trace_pipe close The mmiotrace tracer was added May 12th 2008. At that time, resources created in pipe_open() could not be freed because there was not pipe_close function pointer of the tracer. The pipe_close function pointer was added in December 7th, 2009, but the mmiotrace tracer was not updated. mmio_pipe_open() allocates a header_iter and takes a pci_dev reference when trace_pipe is opened. mmio_close() frees them, but it was only wired to the tracer's .close callback. tracing_release_pipe() invokes .pipe_close, not .close, when the trace_pipe file is released. As a result, closing trace_pipe with the mmiotrace tracer active leaked the header_iter allocation and left a stale pci_dev reference. Set .pipe_close to mmio_close, matching how function_graph wires both callbacks to the same handler. Note, if the trace_pipe is read to completion, it will clean up the resources, but if one were to run: # head -n 1 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe VERSION 20070824 Over and over again, it would trigger a massive leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix union collision of module and refcnt for dynamic events In 'struct trace_event_call', the 'module' pointer and the 'refcnt' atomic variable share the same memory space in a union. For dynamic events, the union member is 'refcnt', which acts as an active reference counter. When a dynamic event (such as kprobe, uprobe, fprobe, eprobe, or wprobe) has a non-zero reference count (e.g. due to active event triggers or perf attachments), its 'call->module' evaluates to a small non-zero integer instead of NULL. When filtering or setting events for a specific module (e.g., writing ':mod:<module>' to 'set_event'), the code in '__ftrace_set_clr_event_nolock()' and 'update_event_fields()' reads 'call->module' directly without checking whether the event is dynamic. This causes the kernel to treat the small integer (refcnt) as a 'struct module' pointer, leading to a NULL/invalid pointer dereference (Oops) when dereferencing the module name. Fix this by ensuring that the 'TRACE_EVENT_FL_DYNAMIC' flag is checked before treating 'call->module' as a valid pointer in these code paths.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: syscall: Ensure saved x0 is kept in-sync with tracer updates When seccomp support was originally added to arm64 in a1ae65b21941 ("arm64: add seccomp support"), seccomp was erroneously called _before_ the ptrace syscall-enter-stop and therefore the tracer could trivially manipulate the syscall register state after the seccomp check had passed. This was subsequently fixed in a5cd110cb836 ("arm64/ptrace: run seccomp after ptrace") by moving the seccomp check after the tracer has run. Unfortunately, a decade later, that fix has been reported to be incomplete. On arm64, both the first argument to a syscall and its eventual return value are allocated to register x0. In order to facilitate syscall restarting and querying of syscall arguments on the syscall exit path, the original value of x0 is stashed in 'struct pt_regs::orig_x0' early during the syscall entry path and is returned for the first argument by syscall_get_arguments(). Unlike 32-bit Arm, this stashed value is not directly exposed via ptrace() and so changes to register x0 made by the tracer on a syscall-enter-stop are not reflected in 'orig_x0'. This means that seccomp, syscall tracepoints and audit can observe a stale value for the register compared to the argument that will be observed by the actual syscall. Re-sync 'orig_x0' from x0 on the syscall entry path following a potential ptrace stop (i.e. PTRACE_EVENTMSG_SYSCALL_ENTRY or SECCOMP_RET_TRACE). This behaviour is limited to native tasks (because compat tasks expose 'orig_r0' to ptrace) where the syscall is not being skipped (because x0 is updated to hold the return value of -ENOSYS in that case).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: pm: userspace: fix use-after-free in get_local_id In mptcp_pm_userspace_get_local_id(), the address entry is looked up under spinlock, but its id is read after dropping the lock. A concurrent deletion can free the entry between the unlock and the read, leading to UAF. The race window is narrow. It was reproduced only with a locally constructed stress test that repeatedly overlaps an MP_JOIN SYN with a MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_DESTROY request. However, the KASAN report below confirms that the race is reachable: [ 666.319376] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in mptcp_userspace_pm_get_local_id+0x1dc/0x1f0 [ 666.319386] Read of size 1 at addr ffff888124845610 by task swapper/0/0 ...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to get, not find, block 0 Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to use afs_dir_get_block() to get block 0 rather than afs_dir_find_block() as the latter caches the found block in the afs_dir_iter and may[*] switch out the page it's on if another afs_dir_find_block() is done. This parallels what afs_edit_dir_add() does. [*] There's more than one block per page.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: do not try compression for data reloc inodes [BUG] There is a syzbot report that the check inside get_new_location() triggered: BTRFS info (device loop0): found 31 extents, stage: move data extents BTRFS info (device loop0): leaf 8908800 gen 16 total ptrs 28 free space 1676 owner 18446744073709551607 item 0 key (256 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 3835 itemsize 160 inode generation 5 transid 0 size 0 nbytes 0 block group 0 mode 40755 links 1 uid 0 gid 0 rdev 0 sequence 0 flags 0x0 atime 1669132761.0 ctime 1669132761.0 mtime 1669132761.0 otime 0.0 item 1 key (256 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 3823 itemsize 12 index 0 name_len 2 item 2 key (258 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 3663 itemsize 160 inode generation 1 transid 16 size 733184 nbytes 106496 block group 0 mode 100600 links 0 uid 0 gid 0 rdev 0 sequence 24 flags 0x18 item 3 key (258 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 3595 itemsize 68 generation 16 type 0 inline extent data size 47 ram_bytes 4096 compression 1 [...] item 27 key (18446744073709551611 ORPHAN_ITEM 258) itemoff 2376 itemsize 0 BTRFS error (device loop0): unexpected non-zero offset in file extent item for data reloc inode 258 key offset 0 offset 9277520992061368337 ------------[ cut here ]------------ btrfs_abort_should_print_stack(__error) [CAUSE] The above dump tree shows the first file extent item is inlined, which should make no sense for data reloc inodes, as such inodes just represent where the data extents are in the relocation destination chunk. However the relocation path preallocates space for each block, then dirties them, cluster by cluster. It's possible to have a single block at the beginning of the block group, and no other block in the same cluster. So relocation will preallocate a file extent for that block and dirty the first block. Then memory pressure forces the data reloc inode to be written back, before any other blocks are dirtied/allocated. Finally commit 3eaf5f082c4c ("btrfs: extract inlined creation into a dedicated delalloc helper") changed the sequence of delalloc. Before that commit we always tried NOCOW first, so that dirtied block would be written back into the preallocated space, and appear as a regular extent. But with that commit, we always try inline first, and since compression is forced, we try compressing the first block, and then inline the compressed data, resulting in the above inlined file extent in the data reloc tree. Then the check in get_new_location() will check the file offset, without checking if the file extent is inlined or not, resulting in the above failure. [FIX] Do not allow compression for data reloc inodes. Since data reloc inode sizes are always block aligned, as long as we do not compress, @data_len will always be at least one block, and that will cause can_cow_file_range_inline() to return false, thus no inlined extent will be created.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: validate ranges in damon_set_regions() DAMON core logic assumes zero length regions don't exist. However, a few DAMON API callers including DAMON_SYSFS, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow users to set empty monitoring target regions. This could result in WARN_ONCE() on CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY enabled kernel, and divide-by-zero from damon_merge_two_regions(). For example, the WANR_ONCE() can be triggered like below. # grep DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY /boot/config-$(uname -r) # CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y # damo start # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0 # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/start # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/end # echo commit > state # dmesg [....] [ 73.705780] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 73.707552] start 0 >= end 0 [ 73.708452] WARNING: mm/damon/core.c:359 at damon_new_region+0x6e/0x80, CPU#1: kdamond.0/758 [...] All DAMON API callers eventually use damon_set_regions() to setup the regions. Add the validation logic in the function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: disallow overlapping input ranges for damon_set_regions() damon_set_regions() assumes the input ranges are sorted by the address and don't overlap each other. Hence the assumption was initially to be explicitly validated. But commit 97d482f4592f ("mm/damon/sysfs: reuse damon_set_regions() for regions setting") has mistakenly removed the validation. This can make DAMON behave in unexpected ways. At the best, the monitoring results snapshot will just look weird since there will be overlapping regions. DAMOS will also work weirdly, applying the same action multiple times for overlapping regions, and make DAMOS quota weird. More seriously, depending on the setup and regions updates sequence, negative size regions can be made. It will trigger WARN_ONCE() if the kernel is built with CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y. Depending on the monitoring results, the negative size region can further trigger division by zero in damon_merge_two_regions(). Note that some of the consequences including the WARN_ONCE() and the divide by zero depend on commits that were introduced after the root cause commit 97d482f4592f ("mm/damon/sysfs: reuse damon_set_regions() for regions setting"). Fix the problems by checking the assumption and returning an error if the input ranges don't meet the assumption. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: binfmt_elf_fdpic: only honour the first PT_INTERP The program header scan handles PT_INTERP from a switch nested in the scan loop, so its break leaves the switch and not the loop. A binary carrying more than one PT_INTERP runs the case again and overwrites both interpreter_name and interpreter. The previous name allocation leaks and so does the previous interpreter reference, along with the write denial open_exec() took on it. The denial is never released, so the file stays unwritable for as long as the system runs. An unprivileged caller reaches this with a crafted binary and repeats it at will. binfmt_elf stops at the first PT_INTERP. Do the same here. The flaw dates back to the driver's introduction in the pre-git history tree introduced in v2.6.11 by 91808d6ebe39 ("[PATCH] FRV: Add FDPIC ELF binary format driver").
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount do_thaw_all() iterates over all superblocks via __iterate_supers() with SUPER_ITER_EXCL, which acquires s_umount exclusively before calling the callback and releases it afterwards. However, the callback do_thaw_all_callback() calls thaw_super_locked() which unconditionally releases s_umount on every code path. This results in a second unlock attempt in __iterate_supers() that corrupts the rwsem state, triggering a DEBUG_RWSEMS warning: [ 182.601148] sysrq: Emergency Thaw of all frozen filesystems [ 182.601865] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 182.602375] DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON((rwsem_owner(sem) != current) && !rwsem_test_oflags(sem, RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE)): count = 0x0, magic = 0xffff99b1011e5870, owner = 0x0, curr 0xffff99b101b06c80, list not empty [ 182.603817] WARNING: kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1412 at up_write+0xa3/0x170, CPU#2: kworker/2:1/53 [ 182.604578] Modules linked in: [ 182.604864] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 53 Comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc4-00001-gbd3bd93ea98a-dirty #4 PREEMPT(lazy) [ 182.605711] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1kylin1 04/01/2014 [ 182.606417] Workqueue: events do_thaw_all [ 182.606750] RIP: 0010:up_write+0xaf/0x170 [ 182.607076] Code: 19 3a 92 48 0f 44 c2 48 8b 55 08 48 8b 55 00 4c 8b 45 08 48 8b 55 00 48 8d 3d ad 91 e0 01 48 8b 4d 20 50 48 c7 c6 f0 8c 26 92 <67> 48 0f b9 3a e8 d7 93 4e 00 58 eb 81 48 83 7f 18 00 48 c7 c2 8d [ 182.608563] RSP: 0018:ffffb670001d7e08 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 182.609007] RAX: ffffffff92349e8d RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffff99b1011e5870 [ 182.609595] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff92268cf0 RDI: ffffffff92914d10 [ 182.610283] RBP: ffff99b1011e5870 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff99b101b06c80 [ 182.610847] R10: ffff99b10139a808 R11: fefefefefefefeff R12: 0000000000000000 [ 182.611414] R13: ffffffff90cf74d0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff99b1011e5800 [ 182.612009] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff99b1eaaee000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 182.612670] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 182.613146] CR2: 00000000005c631c CR3: 00000000013ee000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 182.613722] Call Trace: [ 182.613946] <TASK> [ 182.614130] __iterate_supers+0x128/0x150 [ 182.614463] do_thaw_all+0x1b/0x30 [ 182.614759] process_scheduled_works+0xbb/0x3f0 [ 182.615150] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.615499] worker_thread+0x129/0x270 [ 182.615816] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.616201] kthread+0xe2/0x120 [ 182.616469] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.616792] ret_from_fork+0x15b/0x240 [ 182.617115] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.617426] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 182.617761] </TASK> [ 182.617968] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [ 182.618412] Emergency Thaw complete Fix this by switching to SUPER_ITER_UNLOCKED and acquiring s_umount in the callback via super_lock_excl() before calling thaw_super_locked().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftrace: Add global mutex to serialize trace_parser access In ftrace, the trace_parser structure is allocated and initialized when a trace file is opened, and is subsequently used across write and release handlers to parse user input. The affected handler paths and their specific functions are: - Open paths: ftrace_regex_open(), ftrace_graph_open() - Write paths: ftrace_regex_write(), ftrace_graph_write() - Release paths: ftrace_regex_release(), ftrace_graph_release() If userspace opens a trace file descriptor and shares it across multiple threads, concurrent write calls will race on the parser's internal state, specifically the 'idx', 'cont', and 'buffer' fields, leading to corrupted input or undefined behavior. Fix this by adding a global mutex, parser_lock, to serialize all access to trace_parser across write and release paths, preventing concurrent corruption of parser state.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hip04: fix RX buffer leak on build_skb failure When build_skb() fails in hip04_rx_poll(), the driver jumps to the refill path without releasing the current RX buffer and its DMA mapping. Installing a replacement buffer then overwrites the slot references and leaks both resources. Keep the current slot intact and return budget so NAPI retries the same buffer. Also free a newly allocated RX fragment when dma_map_single() fails. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: fix PTP Call Trace during PTP release If a PF reset occurs when the PTP state is ICE_PTP_UNINIT, then ice_ptp_rebuild() will update the state to ICE_PTP_ERROR. This will result in the following PTP release call trace during driver unload: kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:52! ice_ptp_release+0x332/0x3c0 [ice] ice_deinit_features.part.0+0x10e/0x120 [ice] ice_remove+0x100/0x220 [ice] This was observed when passing PF1 through to a VM. ice_ptp_init() fails because ctrl_pf is NULL and sets the state to ICE_PTP_UNINIT. Fix by detecting the ICE_PTP_UNINIT state in ice_ptp_rebuild() and returning without error, preventing the invalid state transition to ICE_PTP_ERROR. The only valid path to ICE_PTP_ERROR is from ICE_PTP_RESETTING after a failed rebuild.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: super: fix emergency thaw deadlock on frozen block devices do_thaw_all_callback() calls bdev_thaw() while holding sb->s_umount exclusively. If the block device was frozen via bdev_freeze() dropping the last block layer freeze reference calls fs_bdev_thaw() which reacquires s_umount: do_thaw_all_callback(sb) super_lock_excl(sb) # holds sb->s_umount bdev_thaw(sb->s_bdev) mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_fsfreeze_mutex) # bd_fsfreeze_count drops 1 -> 0 bd_holder_ops->thaw == fs_bdev_thaw get_bdev_super(bdev) bdev_super_lock(bdev, true) super_lock(sb, true) down_write(&sb->s_umount) # same task: deadlock The emergency thaw worker deadlocks against itself holding both s_umount and bd_fsfreeze_mutex. That fscks any subsequent unmount, freeze, or thaw of that filesystem and block device.

Acquiring bd_fsfreeze_mutex under s_umount also inverts the bd_fsfreeze_mutex vs. s_umount ordering established by bdev_{freeze,thaw}() and can thus ABBA against a concurrent block-layer freeze even when the recursive path isn't hit. Fix this by not holding s_umount around the bdev_thaw() loop at all. Pin the superblock with an active reference instead as filesystems_freeze_callback() does. The active reference keeps the superblock from being shut down and so ->s_bdev stays valid without holding s_umount. The block-layer-held freeze is dropped by fs_bdev_thaw() with FREEZE_MAY_NEST | FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE exactly as a regular unfreeze would and thaw_super_locked() handles filesystem-level freezes as before. The emergency thaw path has deadlocked like this in one form or another for a long long time but the current exclusively-held shape dates back to commit [1] where thaw_bdev() already ended in thaw_super() with s_umount held by do_thaw_all_callback().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: defer destroy_previous_session() until after NTLM authentication In ntlm_authenticate(), destroy_previous_session() is called using a user pointer resolved from the client-supplied NTLM blob username field before the NTLMv2 response is validated. An authenticated attacker can set the NTLM blob username to match a victim account and set PreviousSessionId to the victim's session ID; destroy_previous_session() destroys the victim's session while ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob() subsequently rejects the request with -EPERM. Move destroy_previous_session() and the prev_id assignment to after ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob() returns success and use sess->user rather than the pre-authentication lookup result. This matches the ordering already used by krb5_authenticate(), where destroy_previous_session() is called only after ksmbd_krb5_authenticate() returns success.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac802154: hold an interface reference across the scan worker mac802154_scan_worker() captures the scanning sub-interface under RCU and then keeps dereferencing sdata->dev after rcu_read_unlock() and outside the rtnl -- in the failure traces, in mac802154_transmit_beacon_req() (skb->dev = sdata->dev), and in the end_scan cleanup. Nothing keeps that netdev alive across the worker iteration. A concurrent DEL_INTERFACE or PHY removal can unregister the interface once the worker drops the rtnl between its two drv_set_channel() sections. unregister_netdevice() frees the netdev asynchronously from netdev_run_todo() with the rtnl already dropped, so neither holding the rtnl nor the per-PHY IEEE802154_IS_SCANNING flag prevents a stale worker iteration from dereferencing the freed netdev -- a KASAN slab-use-after-free, reachable by racing TRIGGER_SCAN against DEL_INTERFACE (both CAP_NET_ADMIN). Pin the netdev with netdev_hold() while the RCU read lock is still held, and release it at every worker exit.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ovpn: fix peer refcount leak in TCP error paths When either the TCP RX or TX error path calls ovpn_peer_hold() followed by schedule_work(&peer->tcp.defer_del_work), and the work item is already pending from the other path, schedule_work() returns false and the work runs only once. Since ovpn_tcp_peer_del_work() calls ovpn_peer_put() exactly once, the extra reference taken by the losing path is never dropped, leaking the peer object. The race window: CPU0 (strparser/RX error): CPU1 (tcp_tx_work/TX error): ovpn_peer_hold() <- refcnt+1 ovpn_peer_hold() <- refcnt+2 schedule_work() <- queued schedule_work() <- NO-OP (work already pending) ovpn_tcp_peer_del_work runs: ovpn_peer_del() ovpn_peer_put() <- refcnt+1 <- peer never freed Fix by checking the return value of schedule_work() in both paths and calling ovpn_peer_put() to drop the extra reference if the work was already pending. ovpn_peer_hold() is kept unconditional in the TX path as it cannot fail at that point.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix aperture mapping leak amdgpu_pci_remove() calls drm_dev_unplug() before invoking the driver fini routines. This causes drm_dev_enter() in amdgpu_ttm_fini() to always return false, so iounmap(aper_base_kaddr) never runs on normal driver unload, leaving an orphaned entry in the x86 PAT interval tree. On connected_to_cpu hardware, the aperture is mapped write-back (WB) via ioremap_cache(). On reload, IP discovery calls memremap(..., MEMREMAP_WC) over the same range. The WC vs WB conflict causes: ioremap error for 0x..., requested 0x1, got 0x0 amdgpu: discovery failed: -2 Fix by switching to devres-managed mappings so cleanup is guaranteed regardless of drm_dev_enter() state: - connected_to_cpu path: devm_memremap(MEMREMAP_WB). For IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM ranges this takes the try_ram_remap() shortcut, returning __va(offset) from the existing kernel direct map. No new ioremap VA or PAT entry is created, so there is nothing to orphan. - dGPU path: devm_ioremap_wc() registers iounmap() as a devres action, guaranteeing cleanup at device_del() time. Also remove iounmap(aper_base_kaddr) from amdgpu_device_unmap_mmio() since the mapping is now devres-owned. v2: Remove redundant x86_64 guard (Lijo) (cherry picked from commit d871e99879cb5fd1fa798b006b4888887e63a17a)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse-uring: fix race between registration and connection abortion This fixes this race: - thread a: io_uring_enter -> register sqe -> fuse_uring_create_ring_ent -> allocate ent but doesn't grab queue_ref yet - thread b: fuse_conn_destroy() -> fuse_chan_abort() -> fuse_uring_abort() is a no-op due to queue ref being 0 - thread a: grabs the queue_ref, queue_ref is now 1, rest of fuse_uring_do_register() logic executes - thread b: fuse_chan_abort() returns, fuse_chan_wait_aborted() now runs and calls "wait_event(ring->stop_waitq, atomic_read(&ring->queue_refs) == 0);" The abort/unmount thread will hang indefinitely in unkillable state as nothing will decrement queue_refs or wake stop_waitq, and the ring, queue, and ent are leaked. Fix this by checking fch->connected under fch->lock after the created ent has grabbed a ref count on the queue. This ensures that in the scenario above, it is guaranteed that we either release the queue ref and wake up stop_waitq (in case fuse_chan_wait_aborted() is already waiting) in fuse_uring_do_register() when we detect !fch->connected, or if the connection is aborted after the check, it is guaranteed that the async teardown worker will be running in the background cleaning up ents and decrementing the ent's ref on the queue, which will unblock the eventual queue and ring teardown.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Bump asid_generation on CPU online to avoid ASID collision after hotplug If a vCPU stays scheduled out (or blocked) while the last pCPU it ran on goes through a hotplug cycle (online->offline->online), and the vCPU then resumes execution on the same pCPU, then it is possible for it to run with an ASID that has now been assigned to a different vCPU, resulting in stale TLB translations being used. svm_enable_virtualization_cpu() resets asid_generation to 1 and sets next_asid to max_asid + 1 on every CPU online event, including hotplug cycles. Because next_asid starts beyond the pool boundary, the first call to new_asid() after an online event always wraps the pool, incrementing asid_generation to 2 and assigning ASIDs starting from min_asid. Consider two vCPUs from different VMs, vCPU-A pinned to CPU-X holding asid_generation=2 and ASID=N from before the hotplug event: 1. CPU-X goes offline and back online: asid_generation resets to 1, next_asid = max_asid + 1. 2. One or more vCPUs migrate to CPU-X and call new_asid(), wrapping the pool and consuming ASIDs starting from min_asid. Eventually vCPU-B from a different VM is assigned asid_generation=2, ASID=N - the same ASID that vCPU-A held before the hotplug. 3. vCPU-A enters pre_svm_run() on CPU-X: current_vmcb->cpu is unchanged so the migration branch is skipped. Its saved asid_generation=2 matches sd->asid_generation=2, so the generation check silently passes and vCPU-A continues running with ASID=N - the same ASID just freshly assigned to vCPU-B. Both vCPUs from different VMs now run on CPU-X with the same ASID, causing them to share NPT TLB entries and producing stale translations. The collision manifests as a KVM internal error (Suberror: 1, emulation failure). The NPT page fault reports a faulting GPA far outside the VM's physical memory range - a sign of stale TLB translations being used. KVM falls back to instruction emulation, which fails on FPU/XSave instructions (XRSTOR, STMXCSR) that the emulator does not implement. Fix this by incrementing asid_generation instead of resetting it to 1 in svm_enable_virtualization_cpu(). On module load, asid_generation starts at 0 (memset) and the increment produces 1, identical to the old behaviour. On subsequent hotplug cycles the generation advances beyond any value a vCPU previously observed on this CPU, so the generation check in pre_svm_run() reliably forces new_asid() on every vCPU after every hotplug cycle.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: time/jiffies: Register jiffies clocksource before usage Teddy reported that a XEN HVM has a long boot delay, which was bisected to the recent enhancements to the negative motion detection. It turned out that the jiffies clocksource is used in early boot before it is registered, which leaves the max_delta_raw field at zero. That causes the read out to be clamped to the max delta of 0, which means time is not making progress. Cure it by ensuring that it is initialized before its first usage in timekeeping_init().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: core: fix uninitialized data in debugfs If *ppos is non-zero then simple_write_to_buffer() will not initialize the start of buf[]. Non zero values for *ppos aren't going to work anyway. Test for them at the start of the function and return -EINVAL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: function: rndis: add length check to response query Add variable representations for BufLength and BufOffset in rndis_query_response(), and perform a length check on them. This is identical to how rndis_set_response() handles these parameters.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: use GFP_ATOMIC in wacom_wac_queue_flush() wacom_wac_queue_flush() is called via the .raw_event callback (wacom_raw_event → wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce → wacom_wac_queue_flush). For USB HID devices, this callback is invoked from hid_irq_in(), which is a URB completion handler running in atomic context. Using GFP_KERNEL in this path can sleep, leading to a "scheduling while atomic" bug. Use GFP_ATOMIC instead. The existing code already handles allocation failure by skipping the fifo entry and continuing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/khugepaged: write all dirty file folios when collapsing [There is no upstream commit, as this code was removed by upstream commit 044925f9b565 ("mm: fs: remove filemap_nr_thps*() functions and their users")] As-is, khugepaged and writable-file opening exclude each other. A file cannot be open writeable and have THPs (because the filesystem is not aware of them). khugepaged will never collapse file pages for files that are opened writeable. On an open(O_RDWR/O_WRONLY), the page cache for that particular file is dropped. This is fine because nothing could've been dirtied. However, there is an edge-case: collapse_file() might not be able to coexist with concurrent writers, but it can coexist with dirty folios (from previous writers). Therefore, the following can happen: open(file, O_RDWR) write(file) close(file) madvise(file_mapping, MADV_COLLAPSE, some non-dirty range) open(file, O_RDWR) nr_thps > 0 truncate_inode_pages() /* THPs are cleared out, but so are the dirty folios */ When this edge-case happens, there is data loss, as the dirty folios are fully discarded. Fix it by fully writing back the page cache (and waiting) when collapsing file THPs. Doing so provides the guarantee that no dirty folio will be observed while there are active THPs. To fully ensure this is safe, the invalidate_lock needs to be held while doing the writeout, so that do_dentry_open()'s page cache truncation excludes this write-and-wait. As a side effect, move the nr_thps counter bumping outside the i_pages lock. This is correct since the counter itself is an atomic_t and the producer <-> consumer correctness is provided by a full memory barrier: smp_mb() in collapse_file()/memory barrier implied by full ordering in get_write_access() -> atomic_inc_unless_negative().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: vme_user: fix location monitor leak in tsi148 bridge tsi148_probe() allocates a location monitor resource and links it into tsi148_bridge->lm_resources. The probe error path frees this list, but tsi148_remove() only frees the dma, slave and master resource lists, so the location monitor resource is leaked on device unbind or module unload. Free the lm_resources list in tsi148_remove() as well, before tsi148_bridge is freed.
User enumeration via observable response discrepancy in Checkmate through version 2.1.0 exposes whether any given email address is registered on the platform. The password recovery endpoint POST /api/v1/auth/recovery/request returns HTTP 200 for known accounts and a distinct status code for unknown ones, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to silently map valid user accounts. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but exploitation requires no authentication and is trivially automatable.
Uninitialized heap memory exposure in GNU Emacs for Android's sfnt font parser allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to trigger information disclosure, process crashes, or arbitrary memory access on 32-bit targets by delivering a crafted font file. The flaw in sfnt_read_table_directory() (src/sfnt.c) stems from an incorrect comparison variable in the read-length check, causing the parser to trust an attacker-controlled table-entry count without proper bounds validation. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; exploitation requires user interaction with attacker-delivered content such as an email, EWW-rendered webpage, or a document referencing a malicious font face.
JWT tokens written to Apache Ranger logs in versions 2.8.0 and earlier remain replayable, allowing any party with read access to those logs to authenticate as legitimate users without knowing their credentials. The flaw (CWE-532) is particularly severe because Ranger controls data security policies across Hadoop ecosystems - impersonating a Ranger user can yield control over access policies for HDFS, Hive, HBase, and related services. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; Apache has confirmed a fix in version 2.9.0.
Remote unauthenticated control of Ecovacs Robotics DEEBOT PRO M1 and K1VAC robot vacuums is possible due to an incorrectly implemented authentication algorithm in their WebSocket communications interface. Any network-reachable attacker can connect to and issue operational commands to affected robots without valid credentials (AV:N, PR:N per CVSS vector). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Man-in-the-middle interception of ECOVACS PRO app traffic is possible due to improper TLS server certificate validation (CWE-295) in both the Android and iOS versions of the application, published by ECOVACS Robotics and coordinated by JPCERT under JVNVU92804348. An attacker with a network-positioned MITM capability can present a rogue certificate that the app accepts without proper validation, enabling retrieval and alteration of all app-server communications, which may include device control commands, account credentials, and home telemetry. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Weak Wi-Fi hotspot credentials on Ecovacs DEEBOT PRO M1 and DEEBOT PRO K1VAC robot vacuums allow a physically proximate attacker to recover the access point password through analysis, then connect to the robot's local network interface. Reported by JPCERT/CC via JVN advisory JVNVU92804348, this affects all firmware versions of both models per CPE data. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog; however, the low exploitation complexity combined with zero required privileges makes unauthorized Wi-Fi access straightforward for any attacker within radio range.
Weak preconfigured root credentials on Ecovacs Robotics DEEBOT PRO M1 and DEEBOT PRO K1VAC robotic vacuum cleaners expose the root account to compromise via physical access. An attacker who obtains physical access to an affected device can recover the root password, gaining privileged control over the embedded Linux system. Reported by JPCERT and disclosed via JVN advisory JVNVU92804348, no public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis.
Improper certificate validation in DEEBOT PRO M1 and DEEBOT PRO K1VAC robot vacuums exposes MQTT communications to man-in-the-middle interception, allowing unauthenticated network-positioned attackers to retrieve operation logs and activity logs stored on the devices. Both models from Ecovacs Robotics fail to verify server certificates during MQTT sessions, meaning a rogue server can impersonate the legitimate cloud backend without detection. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor advisory with remediation guidance was published on 2026-03-31 as referenced by JPCERT.
Samsung Smart Switch prior to version 3.7.72.6 exposes sensitive user data to adjacent network attackers through improper input validation during device transfer sessions. The attack requires both adjacent network positioning and user interaction, constraining real-world exploitability relative to the high confidentiality impact (VC:H) reflected in the CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
