| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Recover HW before retire hung submit
During recovery, it is not safe to retire the hung submit before we
recover the GPU. Retiring the submit triggers BO free and that can
result in GPU pagefaults since the GPU may be actively accessing those
BOs.
To fix this, retire the submits after gpu recovery is complete in
recover_worker().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix xmit_frame/xmit_buf leaks on mgnt-frame error paths
issue_beacon(), issue_probersp() and issue_asocrsp() obtain a management
xmit_frame together with its xmit_buf from the driver's fixed-size
management-TX pools via alloc_mgtxmitframe(). On the normal path the frame
is handed to dump_mgntframe(), which transfers ownership and eventually
returns both objects to their pools (the frame and, for beacons, the buf
in rtl8723bs_mgnt_xmit(); other bufs via the pending-xmitbuf/TX-completion
path).
Several error/edge paths return early after a successful
alloc_mgtxmitframe() but before dump_mgntframe(), so ownership is never
transferred and neither object is freed:
- issue_beacon(): beacon larger than 512 bytes
- issue_probersp(): cur_network->ie_length > MAX_IE_SZ
- issue_probersp(): kzalloc() of the SSID scratch buffer fails
- issue_asocrsp(): pkt_type is neither ASSOCRSP nor REASSOCRSP
Because alloc_mgtxmitframe() removes the frame and buf from their free
lists (list_del_init) without placing them on any pending list, an
orphaned pair is on no list and referenced by nobody, so it is only
reclaimed at driver teardown. Repeated hits progressively exhaust the
management-TX pools until alloc_mgtxmitframe() returns NULL and the
interface can no longer send beacons or probe/assoc responses.
Free the frame and buffer on these paths, matching the existing correct
error handling in issue_assocreq(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: Add missing NULL check for alloc_workqueue()
alloc_workqueue() can return NULL on memory allocation failure. Without
proper error checking, this may lead to a NULL pointer dereference when
queue_work() is later called with the NULL workqueue pointer in
epf_ntb_epc_init().
Add a NULL check immediately after alloc_workqueue() and return -ENOMEM on
failure to prevent the driver from loading with an invalid workqueue
pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: handle attr_set_size() errors when truncating files
If attr_set_size() fails while truncating down, the error is silently
ignored and the inode may be left in an inconsistent state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: Drop the MHI auto_queue feature for IPCR DL channels
MHI stack offers the 'auto_queue' feature, which allows the MHI stack to
auto queue the buffers for the RX path (DL channel). Though this feature
simplifies the client driver design, it introduces race between the client
drivers and the MHI stack. For instance, with auto_queue, the 'dl_callback'
for the DL channel may get called before the client driver is fully probed.
This means, by the time the dl_callback gets called, the client driver's
structures might not be initialized, leading to NULL ptr dereference.
Currently, the drivers have to workaround this issue by initializing the
internal structures before calling mhi_prepare_for_transfer_autoqueue().
But even so, there is a chance that the client driver's internal code path
may call the MHI queue APIs before mhi_prepare_for_transfer_autoqueue() is
called, leading to similar NULL ptr dereference. This issue has been
reported on the Qcom X1E80100 CRD machines affecting boot.
So to properly fix all these races, drop the MHI 'auto_queue' feature
altogether and let the client driver (QRTR) manage the RX buffers manually.
In the QRTR driver, queue the RX buffers based on the ring length during
probe and recycle the buffers in 'dl_callback' once they are consumed. This
also warrants removing the setting of 'auto_queue' flag from controller
drivers.
Currently, this 'auto_queue' feature is only enabled for IPCR DL channel.
So only the QRTR client driver requires the modification. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: Use devm_kmemdup() in rtw_set_supported_band()
Simplify the code by using device managed memory allocations.
This also fixes a memory leak in rtw_register_hw(). The supported bands
were not freed in the error path.
Copied from commit 145df52a8671 ("wifi: rtw89: Convert
rtw89_core_set_supported_band to use devm_*"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: don't WARN for connections on invalid channels
It's not clear (to me) how exactly syzbot managed to hit this,
but it seems conceivable that e.g. regulatory changed and has
disabled a channel between scanning (channel is checked to be
usable by cfg80211_get_ies_channel_number) and connecting on
the channel later.
With one scenario that isn't covered elsewhere described above,
the warning isn't good, replace it with a (more informative)
error message. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix iio_chan_spec for sensors without event detection
The st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels array of struct iio_chan_spec has a non-NULL
event_spec field, indicating support for IIO events. However, event
detection is not supported for all sensors, and if userspace tries to
configure accelerometer wakeup events on a sensor device that does not
support them (e.g. LSM6DS0), st_lsm6dsx_write_event() dereferences a NULL
pointer when trying to write to the wakeup register.
Define an additional struct iio_chan_spec array whose members have a NULL
event_spec field, and use this array instead of st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels for
sensors without event detection capability. |

phy: qcom-qusb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference on early suspend
Enabling runtime PM before attaching the QPHY instance as driver data
can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM callbacks that
expect valid driver data. There is a small window where the suspend
callback may run after PM runtime enabling and before runtime forbid.
This causes a sporadic crash during boot:
```
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a1
[...]
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 11 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.16.7+ #116 PREEMPT
Workqueue: pm pm_runtime_work
pstate: 20000005 (nzCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)
pc : qusb2_phy_runtime_suspend+0x14/0x1e0 [phy_qcom_qusb2]
lr : pm_generic_runtime_suspend+0x2c/0x44
[...]
```
Attach the QPHY instance as driver data before enabling runtime PM to
prevent NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM callbacks.
Reorder pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_forbid() to prevent a
short window where an unnecessary runtime suspend can occur.
Use the devres-managed version to ensure PM runtime is symmetrically
disabled during driver removal for proper cleanup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix NULL dereference on root when tracing inode eviction
When evicting an inode the first thing we do is to setup tracing for it,
which implies fetching the root's id. But in btrfs_evict_inode() the
root might be NULL, as implied in the next check that we do in
btrfs_evict_inode().
Hence, we either should set the ->root_objectid to 0 in case the root is
NULL, or we move tracing setup after checking that the root is not
NULL. Setting the rootid to 0 at least gives us the possibility to trace
this call even in the case when the root is NULL, so that's the solution
taken here. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: properly keep track of conduit reference
Problem description
-------------------
DSA has a mumbo-jumbo of reference handling of the conduit net device
and its kobject which, sadly, is just wrong and doesn't make sense.
There are two distinct problems.
1. The OF path, which uses of_find_net_device_by_node(), never releases
the elevated refcount on the conduit's kobject. Nominally, the OF and
non-OF paths should result in objects having identical reference
counts taken, and it is already suspicious that
dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a put_device() call which is missing in
dsa_port_parse_of(), but we can actually even verify that an issue
exists. With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, if we run this command
"before" and "after" applying this patch:
(unbind the conduit driver for net device eno2)
echo 0000:00:00.2 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/fsl_enetc/unbind
we see these lines in the output diff which appear only with the patch
applied:
kobject: 'eno2' (ffff002009a3a6b8): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000)
kobject: '109' (ffff0020099d59a0): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000)
2. After we find the conduit interface one way (OF) or another (non-OF),
it can get unregistered at any time, and DSA remains with a long-lived,
but in this case stale, cpu_dp->conduit pointer. Holding the net
device's underlying kobject isn't actually of much help, it just
prevents it from being freed (but we never need that kobject
directly). What helps us to prevent the net device from being
unregistered is the parallel netdev reference mechanism (dev_hold()
and dev_put()).
Actually we actually use that netdev tracker mechanism implicitly on
user ports since commit 2f1e8ea726e9 ("net: dsa: link interfaces with
the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings"), via netdev_upper_dev_link().
But time still passes at DSA switch probe time between the initial
of_find_net_device_by_node() code and the user port creation time, time
during which the conduit could unregister itself and DSA wouldn't know
about it.
So we have to run of_find_net_device_by_node() under rtnl_lock() to
prevent that from happening, and release the lock only with the netdev
tracker having acquired the reference.
Do we need to keep the reference until dsa_unregister_switch() /
dsa_switch_shutdown()?
1: Maybe yes. A switch device will still be registered even if all user
ports failed to probe, see commit 86f8b1c01a0a ("net: dsa: Do not
make user port errors fatal"), and the cpu_dp->conduit pointers
remain valid. I haven't audited all call paths to see whether they
will actually use the conduit in lack of any user port, but if they
do, it seems safer to not rely on user ports for that reference.
2. Definitely yes. We support changing the conduit which a user port is
associated to, and we can get into a situation where we've moved all
user ports away from a conduit, thus no longer hold any reference to
it via the net device tracker. But we shouldn't let it go nonetheless
- see the next change in relation to dsa_tree_find_first_conduit()
and LAG conduits which disappear.
We have to be prepared to return to the physical conduit, so the CPU
port must explicitly keep another reference to it. This is also to
say: the user ports and their CPU ports may not always keep a
reference to the same conduit net device, and both are needed.
As for the conduit's kobject for the /sys/class/net/ entry, we don't
care about it, we can release it as soon as we hold the net device
object itself.
History and blame attribution
-----------------------------
The code has been refactored so many times, it is very difficult to
follow and properly attribute a blame, but I'll try to make a short
history which I hope to be correct.
We have two distinct probing paths:
- one for OF, introduced in 2016 i

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: ftrace: Fix memory corruption when kernel is located beyond 32 bits
Since commit e424054000878 ("MIPS: Tracing: Reduce the overhead of
dynamic Function Tracer"), the macro UASM_i_LA_mostly has been used,
and this macro can generate more than 2 instructions. At the same
time, the code in ftrace assumes that no more than 2 instructions can
be generated, which is why it stores them in an int[2] array. However,
as previously noted, the macro UASM_i_LA_mostly (and now UASM_i_LA)
causes a buffer overflow when _mcount is beyond 32 bits. This leads to
corruption of the variables located in the __read_mostly section.
This corruption was observed because the variable
__cpu_primary_thread_mask was corrupted, causing a hang very early
during boot.
This fix prevents the corruption by avoiding the generation of
instructions if they could exceed 2 instructions in
length. Fortunately, insn_la_mcount is only used if the instrumented
code is located outside the kernel code section, so dynamic ftrace can
still be used, albeit in a more limited scope. This is still
preferable to corrupting memory and/or crashing the kernel. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: disable SVA when CONFIG_X86 is set
Patch series "Fix stale IOTLB entries for kernel address space", v7.
This proposes a fix for a security vulnerability related to IOMMU Shared
Virtual Addressing (SVA). In an SVA context, an IOMMU can cache kernel
page table entries. When a kernel page table page is freed and
reallocated for another purpose, the IOMMU might still hold stale,
incorrect entries. This can be exploited to cause a use-after-free or
write-after-free condition, potentially leading to privilege escalation or
data corruption.
This solution introduces a deferred freeing mechanism for kernel page
table pages, which provides a safe window to notify the IOMMU to
invalidate its caches before the page is reused.
This patch (of 8):
In the IOMMU Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA) context, the IOMMU hardware
shares and walks the CPU's page tables. The x86 architecture maps the
kernel's virtual address space into the upper portion of every process's
page table. Consequently, in an SVA context, the IOMMU hardware can walk
and cache kernel page table entries.
The Linux kernel currently lacks a notification mechanism for kernel page
table changes, specifically when page table pages are freed and reused.
The IOMMU driver is only notified of changes to user virtual address
mappings. This can cause the IOMMU's internal caches to retain stale
entries for kernel VA.
Use-After-Free (UAF) and Write-After-Free (WAF) conditions arise when
kernel page table pages are freed and later reallocated. The IOMMU could
misinterpret the new data as valid page table entries. The IOMMU might
then walk into attacker-controlled memory, leading to arbitrary physical
memory DMA access or privilege escalation. This is also a
Write-After-Free issue, as the IOMMU will potentially continue to write
Accessed and Dirty bits to the freed memory while attempting to walk the
stale page tables.
Currently, SVA contexts are unprivileged and cannot access kernel
mappings. However, the IOMMU will still walk kernel-only page tables all
the way down to the leaf entries, where it realizes the mapping is for the
kernel and errors out. This means the IOMMU still caches these
intermediate page table entries, making the described vulnerability a real
concern.
Disable SVA on x86 architecture until the IOMMU can receive notification
to flush the paging cache before freeing the CPU kernel page table pages. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
functionfs: fix the open/removal races
ffs_epfile_open() can race with removal, ending up with file->private_data
pointing to freed object.
There is a total count of opened files on functionfs (both ep0 and
dynamic ones) and when it hits zero, dynamic files get removed.
Unfortunately, that removal can happen while another thread is
in ffs_epfile_open(), but has not incremented the count yet.
In that case open will succeed, leaving us with UAF on any subsequent
read() or write().
The root cause is that ffs->opened is misused; atomic_dec_and_test() vs.
atomic_add_return() is not a good idea, when object remains visible all
along.
To untangle that
* serialize openers on ffs->mutex (both for ep0 and for dynamic files)
* have dynamic ones use atomic_inc_not_zero() and fail if we had
zero ->opened; in that case the file we are opening is doomed.
* have the inodes of dynamic files marked on removal (from the
callback of simple_recursive_removal()) - clear ->i_private there.
* have open of dynamic ones verify they hadn't been already removed,
along with checking that state is FFS_ACTIVE. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: lkkbd - disable pending work before freeing device
lkkbd_interrupt() schedules lk->tq via schedule_work(), and the work
handler lkkbd_reinit() dereferences the lkkbd structure and its
serio/input_dev fields.
lkkbd_disconnect() and error paths in lkkbd_connect() free the lkkbd
structure without preventing the reinit work from being queued again
until serio_close() returns. This can allow the work handler to run
after the structure has been freed, leading to a potential use-after-free.
Use disable_work_sync() instead of cancel_work_sync() to ensure the
reinit work cannot be re-queued, and call it both in lkkbd_disconnect()
and in lkkbd_connect() error paths after serio_open(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
svcrdma: bound check rq_pages index in inline path
svc_rdma_copy_inline_range indexed rqstp->rq_pages[rc_curpage] without
verifying rc_curpage stays within the allocated page array. Add guards
before the first use and after advancing to a new page. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: alps - fix use-after-free bugs caused by dev3_register_work
The dev3_register_work delayed work item is initialized within
alps_reconnect() and scheduled upon receipt of the first bare
PS/2 packet from an external PS/2 device connected to the ALPS
touchpad. During device detachment, the original implementation
calls flush_workqueue() in psmouse_disconnect() to ensure
completion of dev3_register_work. However, the flush_workqueue()
in psmouse_disconnect() only blocks and waits for work items that
were already queued to the workqueue prior to its invocation. Any
work items submitted after flush_workqueue() is called are not
included in the set of tasks that the flush operation awaits.
This means that after flush_workqueue() has finished executing,
the dev3_register_work could still be scheduled. Although the
psmouse state is set to PSMOUSE_CMD_MODE in psmouse_disconnect(),
the scheduling of dev3_register_work remains unaffected.
The race condition can occur as follows:
CPU 0 (cleanup path) | CPU 1 (delayed work)
psmouse_disconnect() |
psmouse_set_state() |
flush_workqueue() | alps_report_bare_ps2_packet()
alps_disconnect() | psmouse_queue_work()
kfree(priv); // FREE | alps_register_bare_ps2_mouse()
| priv = container_of(work...); // USE
| priv->dev3 // USE
Add disable_delayed_work_sync() in alps_disconnect() to ensure
that dev3_register_work is properly canceled and prevented from
executing after the alps_data structure has been deallocated.
This bug is identified by static analysis. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: vfs: fix race on m_flags in vfs_cache
ksmbd maintains delete-on-close and pending-delete state in
ksmbd_inode->m_flags. In vfs_cache.c this field is accessed under
inconsistent locking: some paths read and modify m_flags under
ci->m_lock while others do so without taking the lock at all.
Examples:
- ksmbd_query_inode_status() and __ksmbd_inode_close() use
ci->m_lock when checking or updating m_flags.
- ksmbd_inode_pending_delete(), ksmbd_set_inode_pending_delete(),
ksmbd_clear_inode_pending_delete() and ksmbd_fd_set_delete_on_close()
used to read and modify m_flags without ci->m_lock.
This creates a potential data race on m_flags when multiple threads
open, close and delete the same file concurrently. In the worst case
delete-on-close and pending-delete bits can be lost or observed in an
inconsistent state, leading to confusing delete semantics (files that
stay on disk after delete-on-close, or files that disappear while still
in use).
Fix it by:
- Making ksmbd_query_inode_status() look at m_flags under ci->m_lock
after dropping inode_hash_lock.
- Adding ci->m_lock protection to all helpers that read or modify
m_flags (ksmbd_inode_pending_delete(), ksmbd_set_inode_pending_delete(),
ksmbd_clear_inode_pending_delete(), ksmbd_fd_set_delete_on_close()).
- Keeping the existing ci->m_lock protection in __ksmbd_inode_close(),
and moving the actual unlink/xattr removal outside the lock.
This unifies the locking around m_flags and removes the data race while
preserving the existing delete-on-close behaviour. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: most: remove broken i2c driver
The MOST I2C driver has been completely broken for five years without
anyone noticing so remove the driver from staging.
Specifically, commit 723de0f9171e ("staging: most: remove device from
interface structure") started requiring drivers to set the interface
device pointer before registration, but the I2C driver was never updated
which results in a NULL pointer dereference if anyone ever tries to
probe it. |
