| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: do not send ICMP/NDISC Redirects when peer allocation fails
When inet_getpeer_v4() or inet_getpeer_v6() fails to allocate a peer entry
under memory pressure or tree size caps, redirect handlers previously fell
back to sending un-rate-limited ICMP/NDISC Redirect messages.
In IPv4, ip_rt_send_redirect() called icmp_send() directly when peer == NULL.
In IPv6, ip6_forward() and ndisc_send_redirect() passed a NULL peer into
inet_peer_xrlim_allow(), which returned true when peer == NULL.
Because ICMP/NDISC Redirects are not part of the default global rate limit
mask (sysctl_icmp_ratemask), sending redirects when peer == NULL creates
an un-rate-limited ICMP packet storm.
Fix this by failing closed in ip_rt_send_redirect(), ip6_forward(), and
ndisc_send_redirect() when peer is NULL. |

hwmon: (nct6775-core) Fix number of temperature registers for NCT6116
Unlike NCT6106, NCT6116 only has three temperature registers, and with
it only three temperature source and temperature source configuration
registers. The register addresses match those of NCT6106 and can be
re-used.
The code used a separate array to list the temperature source registers
for NCT6116, but used the size of the NCT6106 register array to set
the number of registers. The NCT6106 register array provides six addresses,
while the temperature source register array for NCT6116 only provides three
addresses. This causes a KASAN report.

wifi: ath12k: fix out-of-bounds clear_bit in ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup()
ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup() clears the ML peer ID slot on the
free_ml_peer_id_map bitmap by indexing it with dp_peer->peer_id. That is
wrong: dp_peer->peer_id for an MLO peer always carries the
ATH12K_PEER_ML_ID_VALID bit (BIT(13)), so clear_bit() is invoked with
index >= 0x2000, which is far outside the bitmap of ATH12K_MAX_MLO_PEERS
(256) bits and corrupts memory adjacent to ah->free_ml_peer_id_map. The
intended bitmap entry also never gets cleared, so subsequent
ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() calls eventually run out of IDs.
The ID without the VALID bit is what ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() returned and
is stored in ahsta->ml_peer_id. Use that instead.
While there, also reset ahsta->ml_peer_id to ATH12K_MLO_PEER_ID_INVALID so
the bitmap and ahsta->ml_peer_id stay in sync.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: widen NAT rewrite delta to s32 in sip_help_tcp()
sip_help_tcp() stores the size change of each NAT-rewritten SIP message
in s16 diff and accumulates it in s16 tdiff, but a single message can
grow by more than S16_MAX while the packet stays under the 65535
enlarge_skb() limit: nf_nat_sip() rewrites every matching URI, and a long
Contact list expands the message by tens of kilobytes. diff then wraps,
and "datalen = datalen + diff - msglen" yields a huge unsigned datalen,
so the next iteration's ct_sip_get_header() reads past the linearized skb
tail.
Widen diff, tdiff and the seq_adjust hook to s32. Both are bounded by the
65535 byte packet limit, and the seqadj core is already s32
(nf_ct_seqadj_set() takes s32), so no previously accepted input is
rejected.

btrfs: skip global block reserve accounting for rescue mounts
[BUG]
Mounting with rescue=ibadroots after corrupting the block group tree
root triggers a NULL pointer dereference:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000100
RIP: 0010:btrfs_update_global_block_rsv+0x9d/0x1c0 [btrfs]

open_ctree+0xc6e/0x1ca0 [btrfs]
btrfs_get_tree+0x50d/0xa40 [btrfs]
The same crash occurs with a corrupted raid stripe tree root, via
btrfs_read_block_groups() instead of fill_dummy_bgs().
[CAUSE]
With rescue=ibadroots, btrfs_read_roots() allows the mount to continue
when either root cannot be read, leaving the corresponding root pointer
NULL while its on-disk feature bit remains set.
btrfs_update_global_block_rsv() then dereferences the missing root based
on the feature bit alone.
[FIX]
Rescue mounts are fully read-only and cannot start transactions, so the
global reserve is never consumed. Under btrfs_is_full_ro(), mark the
reserve as full and return before performing the accounting.
And since we need to check if the fs is mount fully RO, export
fs_is_full_ro() as btrfs_is_full_ro(), and move it to fs.h.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/arm-smmu-v3-iommufd: Require exactly one Stream ID for a vDEVICE
arm_vsmmu_vsid_to_sid() maps a guest's vSID to a single physical Stream ID
taken from master->streams[0], assuming a device has exactly one stream. A
device with several streams gets only its first one mapped, so a guest vSID
invalidation cannot reach the others' ATC and IOTLB entries; a device with
none makes master->streams a ZERO_SIZE_PTR, read out of bounds.
Add an arm_vsmmu_vdevice_init() op to reject the vDEVICE with -EOPNOTSUPP
when master->num_streams is not one, rather than mapping it silently. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: mgmt: fix pending command UAF in EIR updates
MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME is handled asynchronously on powered controllers
and can run set_name_sync(). When the controller is BR/EDR capable,
set_name_sync() updates the local name and then rebuilds EIR data through
eir_create(). The EIR builder walks hdev->uuids, but the UUID list can
be changed and entries can be freed by MGMT_OP_ADD_UUID and
MGMT_OP_REMOVE_UUID.
pending_eir_or_class() is meant to serialize management commands that
can change EIR or the class of device, but it did not include
MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME. In addition, it walked hdev->mgmt_pending
without hdev->mgmt_pending_lock even though pending commands are added
and removed under that mutex. A racing command completion can therefore
remove and free a pending command while pending_eir_or_class() is still
inspecting it, leading to a use-after-free in the pending-command list or
allowing a local name update to rebuild EIR while UUID entries are being
removed.
Take hdev->mgmt_pending_lock while scanning hdev->mgmt_pending and treat
MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME as an EIR/class-affecting pending command on the
powered asynchronous path. Check for a conflicting pending command before
copying the new short name so a rejected SET_LOCAL_NAME request does not
modify hdev->short_name. |

dibs: fix use-after-free of dmb_node in loopback attach/detach/unregister
dibs_lo_attach_dmb(), dibs_lo_detach_dmb() and dibs_lo_unregister_dmb()
look up the dmb_node under dmb_ht_lock, drop the lock and only then
operate on the node's refcount. Nothing keeps the node alive across
that window: __dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() removes the node from the hash
table under the write lock and immediately frees it.
A concurrent final put can therefore free the node between the lookup
and the refcount operation:
CPU0 (attach) CPU1 (owner unregisters)
read_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
find dmb_node (refcnt == 1)
read_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
refcount_dec_and_test() 1 -> 0
write_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
hash_del(&dmb_node->list)
write_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
kfree(dmb_node)
refcount_inc_not_zero(&dmb_node->refcnt) <-- use-after-free
The same window exists for the refcount_dec_and_test() calls in the
detach and unregister paths.
Close the race structurally by making hash table membership and the
refcount transitions atomic with respect to each other:
- Perform the final refcount_dec_and_test() and hash_del() in a single
dmb_ht_lock write-side critical section, in both the unregister and
the detach path. Freeing the node still happens after the lock is
dropped, which is safe because a node whose refcount reached zero has
left the hash table and can no longer be found.
- This establishes the invariant that any node found in the hash table
holds at least one reference, and that the final reference can only
be dropped under the write lock. dibs_lo_attach_dmb() can thus take
its reference with a plain refcount_inc() while still holding the
read lock; refcount_inc_not_zero() is no longer needed.
__dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() no longer touches the hash table and is
renamed to dibs_lo_free_dmb() accordingly.
Note: commit cc21191b584c ("dibs: Move data path to dibs layer") moved
the code to its current location; the race was introduced earlier by
commit c3a910f2380f ("net/smc: implement DMB-merged operations of
loopback-ism").

KVM: s390: pci: Fix memory accounting for pinned/unpinned pages
The account_mem() and unaccount_mem() functions call get_uid() which
increments the reference count of struct user_struct on every invocation.
But we don't decrement the count by calling free_uid(). It also
accounted/unaccounted the pages against the current->mm. But its possible
the unaccount_mem() can be called from a different process context than the
one that originally pinned the pages.
Let's fix this by storing the pinning process user_struct and mm_struct
when accounting for pinned pages, and subsequently free these resources
when the pages are unpinned.

RISC-V folds page-table levels at runtime. When a level is folded, its
offset helper returns the parent entry itself, but the index can still be
nonzero. Adding it walks past the parent table. Sv48 folds P4D, while Sv39
folds both P4D and PUD, so memory hot-remove can descend into unrelated
memory and pass an invalid page to __free_pages(). This can trigger:

net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure

net: udp_tunnel: fix memory leak in udp_tunnel_nic_unregister()
syzbot reported a memory leak [1] in the UDP tunnel NIC offload code.
When device registration fails (e.g. in register_netdevice()), netdev core
unwinds by sending a single NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification. If work was queued
during NETDEV_REGISTER (utn->work_pending is set), udp_tunnel_nic_unregister()
returns early:
if (utn->work_pending)
return;
Because failed registrations do not enter netdev_wait_allrefs_any(), no
subsequent NETDEV_UNREGISTER rebroadcast will ever occur. As a result, the
struct udp_tunnel_nic allocated in udp_tunnel_nic_alloc() is leaked
permanently.
Fix this by removing the early return. Instead, synchronously cancel any
pending work with cancel_delayed_work_sync() before freeing @utn.
To be able to call cancel_delayed_work_sync() while holding RTNL (the work also
needs RTNL), switch udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work() to rtnl_trylock(). If RTNL
is contended, requeue the work with a 1 jiffy delay (via queue_delayed_work())
to prevent high CPU contention while waiting for RTNL lock.
The utn->work_pending bookkeeping is no longer needed and is removed, as
the workqueue core already tracks the pending/running state of the work.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: reclaim invalid Tx descriptors in ZC batch path
The zero-copy Tx batch parser stops when it encounters an invalid
descriptor. If this happens after one or more continuation descriptors,
the Tx consumer can be advanced past fragments that are neither submitted
to the driver nor returned to userspace through the completion ring.
A similar problem occurs when a packet exceeds xdp_zc_max_segs. The
descriptors consumed up to the limit are released without completion, and
the remaining continuation descriptors can subsequently be interpreted
as the beginning of another packet.
Parse Tx batches in packet units and distinguish descriptors belonging to
complete valid packets from descriptors consumed while draining an
invalid or oversized packet. Return the former to the driver and append
the latter to the CQ address area so userspace can reclaim their UMEM
frames.
Treat a standalone invalid descriptor as a one-descriptor reclaim-only
packet. Advancing the Tx-ring consumer releases the ring slot, but does
not by itself return ownership of the referenced UMEM frame to userspace.
Once draining starts, continue until the packet's end-of-packet
descriptor is consumed. Preserve the drain state on the socket when EOP
has not yet been supplied, so draining can continue during a later call.
Leave incomplete but otherwise valid packets on the Tx ring.
Shared-UMEM pools using multi-buffer Tx also need packet-framed parsing.
Walk their Tx sockets one packet at a time, preserving the existing
per-socket fairness scheme, instead of using the legacy one-descriptor
fallback. Keep that fallback for shared pools that do not use
multi-buffer Tx. Since the drain state is maintained per socket and both
the singular and shared paths can resume an interrupted drain, changing
the socket list from singular to shared requires no special bind-time
transition.
CQ entries are positional, and drivers may complete only part of the Tx
work returned by xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch(). Therefore, reclaim-only
entries cannot be published immediately when earlier driver-visible
descriptors are still outstanding.
Track the number of driver-visible CQ entries preceding the reclaim
entries. Let xsk_tx_completed() publish partial hardware Tx completions,
and publish the reclaim entries only after every earlier Tx descriptor
has completed. Complete a reclaim-only batch immediately when there is no
driver-visible work in front of it, and prevent another Tx batch from
being appended while reclaim entries remain pending.
Also cap batch processing by the size of the pool's temporary descriptor
array, as Tx rings belonging to sockets sharing a UMEM may have different
sizes.
This ensures that every invalid Tx descriptor consumed by the ZC batch
path is either submitted to the driver as part of a valid packet or
returned to userspace without violating CQ completion ordering. |

xsk: fix buffer leak in xsk_drop_skb() for AF_XDP multi-buffer Tx
This patch is inspired by the check[1] from sashiko. It says when
overflow happens, the address of cq to be published is invalid.
Actually the severer thing is the whole process of publishing the
address of cq in this particular case is not right: it should truely
publish the address and advance the cached_prod in cq as long as it
reads descriptors from txq.
The following is the full analysis.
xsk_drop_skb() is called in three places, which all discard a partially
built multi-buffer skb:
1) xsk_build_skb() -EOVERFLOW error path: packet exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS
2) __xsk_generic_xmit() post-loop cleanup: an invalid descriptor in
the TX ring prevents the partial packet from completing
3) xsk_release(): socket close while xs->skb holds an incomplete packet
In all three cases, the TX descriptors for the already-processed frags
have been consumed from the TX ring (xskq_cons_release), and CQ slots
have been reserved. However, xsk_drop_skb() calls xsk_consume_skb()
which cancels the CQ reservations via xsk_cq_cancel_locked(). Since
the buffer addresses never appear in the completion queue, userspace
permanently loses track of these buffers.
Fix this by letting consume_skb() trigger the existing xsk_destruct_skb
destructor, which already submits buffer addresses to the CQ via
xsk_cq_submit_addr_locked().
Note that cancelling the descriptors back to the TX ring (via
xskq_cons_cancel_n) is not a appropriate option because an oversized
packet that always exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS would be retried indefinitely,
which is an obviously deadlock bug in the TX path.
Also move the desc->addr assignment in xsk_build_skb() above the
overflow check so that the current descriptor's address is recorded
before a potential -EOVERFLOW jump to free_err, consistent with the
zerocopy path in xsk_build_skb_zerocopy().

rds: tcp: hold the RCU lock across ipv6_chk_addr() in rds_tcp_laddr_check()
rds_tcp_laddr_check() looks up a scoped IPv6 interface with
dev_get_by_index_rcu(), drops the RCU read-side lock, and only then

dev_get_by_index_rcu() only keeps the device alive within the same RCU
read-side section. After rcu_read_unlock(), a concurrent RTM_DELLINK can

freed memory.
Keep the RCU read-side lock held across the ipv6_chk_addr() call instead
of dropping it right after the lookup, so the device cannot be freed
while it is in use.

dmaengine: idxd: fix fdev setup failure cleanup in idxd_cdev_open()
The failed_dev_add and failed_dev_name paths drop the file-device
reference while wq->wq_lock is still held. If put_device(fdev) drops the
last reference, idxd_file_dev_release() runs synchronously and tries to
take wq->wq_lock again, deadlocking.
Those paths also fall through into the later ctx cleanup labels even

make idxd_xa_pasid_remove(ctx) and kfree(ctx) operate on a freed context.
Move idxd_wq_get() before file-device setup can fail, since the release

mm/slab: prevent unbounded recursion in free path with new kmalloc type
Commit 280ea9c3154b ("mm/slab: avoid allocating slabobj_ext array from
its own slab") avoided recursive allocation of obj_exts from kmalloc
caches of the same size, by bumping the obj_exts array's allocation
size whenever the array size equals the size of the object being
allocated.
However, as reported by Danielle Costantino and Shakeel Butt,
even slabs from kmalloc caches of different sizes can form a cycle
by allocating obj_exts arrays from each other [1]:
What happened: a KMALLOC_NORMAL slab's obj_exts array (used by
allocation profiling / memcg accounting) is itself kmalloc()'d from a
KMALLOC_NORMAL cache, so the "slab holds another slab's obj_exts array"
relation can form cycles. With sizeof(struct slabobj_ext) == 16 and
the host's geometry:
- kmalloc-512 has 64 objects/slab -> array is 64*16 == 1024 bytes,
served from kmalloc-1k;
- kmalloc-1k has 32 objects/slab -> array is 32*16 == 512 bytes,
served from kmalloc-512.
A kmalloc-512 slab and a kmalloc-1k slab therefore hold each other's
obj_exts array. Discarding one frees the other's array, which empties
and discards that slab, which frees the first's array, and so on:
__free_slab() -> free_slab_obj_exts() -> kfree() -> discard_slab() ->
__free_slab() recurses along the cycle until the stack is exhausted.
With memory allocation profiling, this allows unbounded recursion
in the free path and led to a stack overflow on a production host in
the Meta fleet [1]:

It is proposed [1] to resolve this issue by always serving the obj_exts
array allocation from kmalloc caches (or large kmalloc) of sizes larger
than the object size. However, as pointed out by Vlastimil Babka [2],
this can waste an excessive amount of memory as slabs from large
kmalloc sizes (e.g. kmalloc-8k) generally need obj_exts arrays much
smaller than the object size.
Therefore, rather than bumping the size, let us take a different
approach; disallow formation of cycles between kmalloc types when
allocating obj_exts arrays. Currently, all obj_exts arrays are served
from normal kmalloc caches. Cycles cannot be created if obj_exts arrays
of normal kmalloc caches are served from a special kmalloc type that can
never have obj_exts arrays.
To achieve this, create a new kmalloc type called KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT.
KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT caches are created with SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT flag when
either 1) memory allocation profiling is not permanently disabled,
or 2) kmalloc types with a priority higher than KMALLOC_CGROUP are
aliased with KMALLOC_NORMAL.
Sheaf bootstrapping for KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT caches now must be deferred
because allocation of a barn can trigger obj_exts array allocation of
normal kmalloc caches when the KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT cache for that size
is not ready yet. For simplicity, perform bootstrapping of sheaves for
all kmalloc caches later.
Introduce a new slab alloc flag, SLAB_ALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT, to prevent
allocation of obj_exts arrays, and let kmalloc_slab() override the type
to KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT when specified. Note that kmalloc_type() remains
unchanged because kmalloc_flags() bypasses the kmalloc fastpath.
Do not pass SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE to kmalloc_flags() in
alloc_slab_obj_exts() and instead use SLAB_ALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT only when
the objects are allocated from normal kmalloc caches. While this
prevents unbounded recursive allocation of obj_exts, it allows
KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT caches to have sheaves.
Since sheaf allocations specify SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE that prevents
allocation of both sheaves and obj_exts arrays, the recursion depth
is bounded.
