| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
The networking receive path is usually run from softirq context, but
protocols that take the socket lock may have packets stored in the
backlog and processed later from process context. In that case
release_sock() -> __release_sock() drops the slock with spin_unlock_bh()
and then calls sk->sk_backlog_rcv() with bottom halves enabled.
Typical sk_backlog_rcv handlers process the socket whose backlog is
being drained, so the BH state at entry is irrelevant for the slocks
they touch. pep_do_rcv() is different: when the inbound skb targets an
existing PEP pipe, it forwards the skb to a different *child* socket
via sk_receive_skb(). That helper takes the child slock with
bh_lock_sock_nested(), which is just spin_lock_nested() and assumes BH
is already off. The same child slock therefore ends up acquired with
BH on (process path) and with BH off (softirq path):
process context softirq context
--------------- ---------------
release_sock(listener) __netif_receive_skb()
__release_sock() phonet_rcv()
spin_unlock_bh() __sk_receive_skb(listener)

=> SOFTIRQ-ON-W => IN-SOFTIRQ-W
Lockdep flags this as inconsistent lock state, and it can become a real
self-deadlock if a softirq on the same CPU tries to receive to the same
child socket while its slock is held in the BH-enabled path:
WARNING: inconsistent lock state
inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.

Wrap the forwarded sk_receive_skb() in local_bh_disable() /
local_bh_enable() so the child slock is always acquired with BH off.
local_bh_disable() nests safely on the softirq path.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix driver-set TX rates on old devices
On old devices such as 7265D, rates are still encoded in version 1
format, which doesn't use the CCK/OFDM rate index (0-3/0-7) but
rather their PLCP value (e.g. 10 for 1 Mbps CCK rate.)
While introducing v3 rates, I changed the driver from internally
handling v1 rates and converting to v2, to internally handling v3
and converting to v1 or v2 according to the firmware. I accordingly
changed the code in iwl_mvm_mac80211_idx_to_hwrate() to no longer
have different values for different APIs. This was correct.
However, I later reverted this part of the change, because it was
reported that I had broken beacon rates, causing a FW assert/crash.
This caused TX_CMD rates to be set incorrectly, potentially causing
a warning when reported back from the device as having been used.
Fix this (hopefully correctly now) by handling beacon rates in the
TX_CMD that's embedded in the beacon template command separately.
Restore iwl_mvm_mac80211_idx_to_hwrate() to return only the rate
index, not PLCP value, fixing the real TX_CMD. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: stop TX during firmware restart
When iwlwifi firmware crashes (e.g., NMI_INTERRUPT_UNKNOWN on Intel
BE201/Wi-Fi 7), iwl_mld_nic_error() sets mld->fw_status.in_hw_restart
to true. However, iwl_mld_tx_from_txq() does not check this flag before
dequeuing frames from mac80211 and pushing them to the transport layer.
Since the firmware is dead, iwl_trans_tx() returns -EIO for each frame,
which then gets freed immediately. Under high-throughput conditions
(e.g., Tailscale UDP traffic or active SSH sessions), this creates a
tight dequeue-send-fail-free loop that wastes CPU cycles and generates
rapid skb allocation churn, leading to memory pressure from slab
fragmentation.
The RX path already has this guard (iwl_mld_rx_mpdu checks
in_hw_restart at rx.c:1906), and so does the TXQ allocation worker
(iwl_mld_add_txqs_wk at tx.c:156). Add the same guard to
iwl_mld_tx_from_txq() to stop all TX during firmware restart.
Frames left in mac80211's TXQs are naturally drained after restart
completes, when queue reallocation triggers iwl_mld_tx_from_txq()
via iwl_mld_add_txq_list(), or when new upper-layer traffic invokes
wake_tx_queue.
Tested on ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3405CA with Intel BE201 (Wi-Fi 7) on
kernel 6.19.5 where the firmware crashes approximately every 10-15
minutes under Tailscale traffic. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()
cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS
profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements.
Its while-loop calls
cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem)
but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each
iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same
fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same
next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until
the buffer fills.
Advance both mbssid_elem and sub_elem to the just-consumed continuation
so the next call to cfg80211_get_profile_continuation() searches for a
further continuation beyond it (or returns NULL when none exists).
A specially-crafted malicious beacon can take advantage of this bug
to cause the kernel to spend an excessive amount of time in
cfg80211_merge_profile (up to as much as 2ms per beacon received),
which could theoretically be abused in some way. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails
In paths where tracing_map_elt_alloc() failed to allocate objects,
the map->ops->elt_alloc() call was never successful. In this case,
map->ops->elt_free() should not be called. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC IPI virtualization on Hygon Family 18h (erratum #1235)
Hygon Family 18h CPUs are derived from AMD Family 17h (Zen1) silicon and
share the same erratum #1235: hardware may read a stale IsRunning=1 bit
during ICR write emulation and silently fail to generate an
AVIC_IPI_FAILURE_TARGET_NOT_RUNNING VM-Exit on the sending vCPU.
The absence of the VM-Exit causes KVM to miss the required wakeup of
blocking target vCPUs, leading to hung vCPUs and unbounded delays in
guest execution.
Extend the existing AMD Family 17h erratum #1235 workaround to also cover
Hygon Family 18h. With IPI virtualization disabled, KVM never sets
IsRunning=1 in the Physical ID table, so every non-self IPI generates a
VM-Exit and is correctly emulated. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: tegra: fix pm_runtime leak on mutex_lock failure
If tegra_i2c_mutex_lock() fails, the function returns without calling
pm_runtime_put(), leaking the runtime PM reference acquired by the
preceding pm_runtime_get_sync(). This prevents the device from ever
entering runtime suspend.
Add the missing pm_runtime_put() before returning on lock failure. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kho: skip KHO for crash kernel
kho_fill_kimage() unconditionally populates the kimage with KHO
metadata for every kexec image type. When the image is a crash kernel,
this can be problematic as the crash kernel can run in a small reserved
region and the KHO scratch areas can sit outside it.
The crash kernel then faults during kho_memory_init() when it
tries phys_to_virt() on the KHO FDT address:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx
...
fdt_offset_ptr+...
fdt_check_node_offset_+...
fdt_first_property_offset+...
fdt_get_property_namelen_+...
fdt_getprop+...
kho_memory_init+...
mm_core_init+...
start_kernel+...
kho_locate_mem_hole() already skips KHO logic for KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH
images, but kho_fill_kimage() was missing the same guard. As
kho_fill_kimage() is the single point that populates image->kho.fdt
and image->kho.scratch, fixing it here is sufficient for both arm64
and x86 as the FDT and boot_params path are bailing out when these
fields are unset. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration
The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an
id_table and dereferences it unconditionally. Enforce that contract at
registration time so a buggy client driver cannot crash the bus during
match. |

ARM: integrator: Fix early initialization
Starting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 ("ARM: integrator: read counter using
syscon/regmap"), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
which in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.
Since the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,
the call always fails. It either returns -ENOMEM or crashes as follows.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c when read
[0000000c] *pgd=00000000

The crash is seen due to a dereferenced pointer which is not supposed to be
NULL but is NULL if the memory management subsystem has not been
initialized. The crash is not seen with all versions of gcc. Some versions
such as gcc 9.x apparently do not dereference the pointer, presumably if
tracing is disabled. The problem has been reproduced with gcc 10.x, 11.x,
and 13.x. Either case, if the crash is not seen, the call to
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible returns -ENOMEM, and
sched_clock_register is never called.
Fix the problem by moving the early initialization code into the standard
machine initialization code. |

platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: bound enumeration string aggregation
populate_enum_data() aggregates firmware-provided value-modifier
and possible-value strings into fixed 512-byte struct members.
The current code bounds each individual source string but then
appends every string and separator with raw strcat() and no
remaining-space check.
Switch the aggregation loops to a bounded append helper and
reject enumeration packages whose combined strings do not fit
in the destination buffers.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: use correct flags for device private PMD entry
Commit 65edfda6f3f2 ("mm/rmap: extend rmap and migration support
device-private entries") updated set_pmd_migration_entry() to use
pmdp_huge_get_and_clear() in the softleaf case, but made no further
adjustments to the function itself.
Therefore this function continues to incorrectly use pmd_write(),
pmd_soft_dirty() and pmd_uffd_wp() to determine whether the installed
migration entry should be marked writable, softdirty or uffd-wp
respectively.
Whilst all are incorrect, the most problematic of these is pmd_write(), as
this can lead to corrupted rmap state.
On x86-64 _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY is aliased to _PAGE_RW. So calling
pmd_write() on a softleaf will return the softdirty state encoded in the
entry, assuming CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY was enabled.
This was observed when running the hmm.hmm_device_private.anon_write_child
selftest:
1. The test faults in a range then migrates it such that a device-private
THP range is established.
2. The parent then migrates it to a device-private writable PMD entry whose
folio is entirely AnonExclusive with entire_mapcount=1, softdirty set
(accidentally correct write state).
3. The parent forks and the PMD entries are set to device-private read only
entries, entire_mapcount=2, softdirty still set.
4. [BUG] The child writes to the range then migrates to RAM - intending to
install non-writable migration entries - but replacing parent and child
PMD mappings with WRITABLE entries due to misinterpreting the softdirty
bit.
5. In remove_migration_pmd(), if !softleaf_is_migration_read(entry) we
set the RMAP_EXCLUSIVE flag when calling folio_add_anon_rmap_pmd() for
both parent and child, which are therefore AnonExclusive.
6. [SPLAT] Child sets migrated folio entire_mapcount=1, parent sets
entire_mapcount=2 and we end up with an AnonExclusive folio with
entire_mapcount=2! Assert fires in __folio_add_anon_rmap():
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(folio_test_large(folio) &&
folio_entire_mapcount(folio) > 1 &&
PageAnonExclusive(cur_page), folio)
This patch fixes the issue by correctly referencing the softleaf entry
fields for writable, softdirty and uffd-wp in set_pmd_migration_entry().
It also only updates A/D flags if the entry is present as these are
otherwise not meaningful for a softleaf entry.
This patch also flips the if (!present) { ... } else { ... } logic in
set_pmd_migration_entry() so it is easier to understand, and adds some
comments to make things clearer.
I was able to bisect this to commit 775465fd26a3 ("lib/test_hmm: add zone
device private THP test infrastructure") which first exposes this bug as
it was the commit that permitted test_hmm to generate the test.
However commit 65edfda6f3f2 ("mm/rmap: extend rmap and migration support
device-private entries") is the commit that actually enabled this
behaviour. |

Monitoring the crash under GDB points to the exact instruction in charge of
incrementing the call depth:
sarq $5, %gs:__x86_call_depth(%rip)
This instruction matches the one inserted by the ftrace_regs_caller from
ftrace_64.S. This emitted code was likely working fine until the introduction
of
59bec00ace28 ("x86/percpu: Introduce %rip-relative addressing to PER_CPU_VAR()"):
it has made the call depth accounting addressing relative to $rip, instead of
being based on an absolute address.
As this code exact location depends on where the trampoline lives in memory,
the corresponding displacement needs to be adjusted at runtime to actually
correctly find the per-cpu __x86_call_depth value, otherwise the targeted
address is wrong, leading to the page fault seen above.
Fix the %rip-relative displacement of the copied CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT
instruction (from ftrace_regs_caller) by calling text_poke_apply_relocation(),
as it is done for example by the x86 BPF JIT compiler through
x86_call_depth_emit_accounting(). This corrects both CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT slots,
in ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller.

ALSA: pcm: Don't setup bogus iov_iter for silencing
At transition to the iov_iter for PCM data transfer, we blindly
applied the iov_iter setup also for silencing (i.e. data = NULL), and
it leads to a calculation of bogus iov_iter. Fortunately this didn't
cause troubles on most of architectures but it goes wrong on RISC-V
now, causing a NULL dereference.
Handle the NULL data case to treat the silencing in interleaved_copy()
for addressing the bug above. noninterleaved_copy() has already the
NULL data handling, so it doesn't need changes. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs, afs: Fix write skipping in dir/link writepages
Fix netfs_write_single() and afs_single_writepages() to better handle a
write that would be skipped due to lock contention and WB_SYNC_NONE by
returning 1 from netfs_write_single() if it skipped and making
afs_single_writepages() skip also. If a skip occurs, the inode must be
re-marked as the VFS may have cleared the mark.
This is really only theoretical for directories in netfs_write_single() as
the only path to that is through afs_single_writepages() that takes the
->validate_lock around it, thereby serialising it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Bound used_lrs when flushing the pKVM hyp vCPU
flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vGIC state into the hyp's private vCPU
on every run. The vGIC list register save and restore use used_lrs as
their loop bound and expect it to stay within the number of implemented
list registers. While this is generally the case, flush_hyp_vcpu()
copies vgic_v3 verbatim and does not enforce this, so a value provided
by the host is used at EL2 to index vgic_lr[] and access ICH_LR<n>_EL2
(host -> EL2).
Fix by clamping used_lrs to the number of implemented list registers
after the copy, as the trusted path already does in
vgic_flush_lr_state(). The number of implemented list registers is
constant after init, so it is replicated once from
kvm_vgic_global_state.nr_lr into hyp_gicv3_nr_lr rather than read on
every entry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qed: fix double free in qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
If one of the later PF or VF CID bitmap allocations fails,
qed_cid_map_alloc() jumps to cid_map_fail and frees the previously
allocated CID bitmaps before returning an error. qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
then calls qed_cxt_mngr_free(), which invokes qed_cid_map_free()
again.
Fix this by setting each CID bitmap pointer to NULL after bitmap_free()
to avoid double free.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1-rc3.
Runtime reproduction was not attempted because exercising the failing
allocation path requires device-specific setup. |
