In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_get_wpa_ie() rtw_get_wpa_ie() reads bytes at fixed offsets into a vendor-specific information element without checking that the element is long enough, causing an out-of-bounds read for a short trailing IE. The function locates a vendor-specific IE (EID 221) with rtw_get_ie() and then compares a 4-byte OUI+type at pb…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in WMM_param_handler() WMM_param_handler() copies a fixed-size WMM parameter element out of a received information element without checking that the element is long enough, causing an out-of-bounds read for a short WMM IE. The handler reads sizeof(struct WMM_para_element) (18) bytes at pIE->data + 6, so it requires pIE->len…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: 8250_of: clear stuck empty-FIFO RX-timeout on LPC32xx The NXP LPC32xx UART (PORT_LPC3220) can latch an RX character-timeout interrupt while the RX FIFO is empty: IIR reports UART_IIR_RX_TIMEOUT (0x0c) but LSR.DR is clear. A character timeout is only cleared by reading RHR, but serial8250_rx_chars() reads RHR only when LSR.DR is set, so nothing ever …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: 8250_dma: Clear stale RX state on shutdown serial8250_release_dma() terminates RX DMA and releases the channel, but leaves rx_running set. If the port is closed while an RX transfer is active, the stale state remains while rxchan is NULL until the channel is requested again on the next open. The DesignWare BUSY workaround added by commit a7b9ce39f…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb: Fix UAF at delayed release of MIDI2 EPs The recent fix for UAF in ump_to_endpoint() caused another UAF because it tries to dereference the UMP endpoint object, but this might be executed at a delayed context where the endpoint has been already released. Add private_free to clear the associated data for avoiding the further dereference for delaye…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: fastrpc: take fl->lock when moving mmaps on interrupted invoke When an invoke is interrupted by a signal, wait_for_completion_interruptible() returns -ERESTARTSYS and fastrpc_internal_invoke() moves every buffer from fl->mmaps onto cctx->invoke_interrupted_mmaps. This list_del()/list_add_tail() walk runs without holding fl->lock, the lock that seriali…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Serialize the scheduler timeout handlers V3D exposes several independent hardware queues (BIN, RENDER, TFU and CSD) but has only a single, global reset. A timeout on any one queue therefore has to stop, reset and restart the schedulers of every other queue as well. That makes concurrent timeout handlers unsafe. `reset_lock` was never able to make …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: us144mkii: re-anchor capture URBs on resubmission capture_urb_complete() resubmits each capture URB without anchoring it: usb_get_urb(urb); ret = usb_submit_urb(urb, GFP_ATOMIC); Anchoring is a property of a submission, not of the URB. The giveback path calls usb_unanchor_urb() before urb->complete(), so an URB resubmitted from its own completion…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: FCP: fix OOB write in fcp_meter_ctl_get() fcp_ioctl_set_meter_map() bounds the user-supplied Level Meter map size by the driver's own limit of 255 if (map.map_size < 1 || map.map_size > 255 || map.meter_slots < 1 || map.meter_slots > 255) return -EINVAL; and passes it to fcp_add_new_ctl() as the control's channel count, where it is stored as…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usx2y: bound the hwdep mmap fault offset snd_us428ctls_vm_fault() turns the faulting page offset into a kernel address with no bound of any kind: offset = vmf->pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT; vaddr = (char *)(...)->us428ctls_sharedmem + offset; page = virt_to_page(vaddr); get_page(page); vmf->page = page; return 0; snd_us428ctls_mmap() checks only the l…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: samples/damon/mtier: error out for zero quota goal target values Patch series "mm/damon: avoid division by zero from damos_quota_score()". DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow the user to trigger division by zero in damos_quota_score(). Avoid it by adding parameters validation checks. This patch (of 2): damos_quota_score() can trigger division b…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/ops-common: putback folios on invalid migrate nid damon_pa_migrate() and damos_va_migrate() isolate folios into a local list and then call damon_migrate_pages(). When target_nid is invalid (including the scheme default NUMA_NO_NODE / -1), damon_migrate_pages() returns early without putting the folios back to the LRU. Callers then discard the list…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/lru_sort: error out for >10000 active_mem_bp damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target value is zero. DAMON_LRU_SORT lets users set the target value for the hot memory scheme via active_mem_bp parameter. It avoids setting it as the target value if the parameter value is zero. However, it also sets the cold memory scheme with…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ring-buffer: Prevent subbuf order change when resizing is disabled Because ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() frees buffer pages, we can't allow it when resizing is disabled. A non-consuming reader is at risk of use-after-free (rb_advance_iter()). Return -EBUSY on resize_disabled, matching ring_buffer_resize() behaviour.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice smc_rx_splice() passes pages to splice_to_pipe() before taking the references that cover the lifetime of each splice entry. In the VM-backed RMB path, splice_to_pipe() may drop unqueued entries through smc_rx_spd_release(), while queued entries are released later via the pipe buffer callback. T…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in module event cache removal A module-only event filter such as ":mod:foo" is cached with a NULL event_mod->match when foo has not been loaded. If a later write tries to remove a specific match from the same module, remove_cache_mod() passes the NULL cached match to strcmp(), causing a NULL pointer dereference. The is…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn race Patch series "mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn race", v2. There is a subtle race in the reference-counted huge_zero_folio implementation. The fast path atomic logic fails to account for the fact that the shrinker (which drops the final huge_zero_refcount pin) can overwrite huge_zero_pfn with the ~0UL sentinel value …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_cursor() bit_cursor() fetches the glyph under the cursor with c = scr_readw(vc_pos); src = vc_font.data + ((c & charmask) * w * height); where charmask is 0x1ff when vc_hi_font_mask is set. The screen buffer value comes directly from scr_readw() and may be larger than the current font's glyph count. Syzkal…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix race between update_event_fields and, event_define_fields The following sequence may leads race between event_define_fields() and update_event_fields(): CPU0 (loads module A) CPU1 (loads module B) =============================== =============================== load_module(A) load_m…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detach perf_group_detach() handles leader and sibling detach differently. When the group leader is detached, all siblings are promoted to singleton events and their group_leader pointer is reset to themselves. When a sibling is detached, it is removed from the leader's sibling_list, but its group_lead…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: bridge: release template ct on non-IP path A bridge nftables ct zone set rule can attach a conntrack template to an skb before nf_ct_bridge_pre() sees it. For non-IPv4 and non-IPv6 EtherTypes, nf_ct_bridge_pre() currently overwrites skb->_nfct with IP_CT_UNTRACKED without releasing the existing template reference. That makes the per-cpu template…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NTB: ntb_netdev: Preserve RX queue depth on allocation failure ntb_netdev_rx_handler() hands the received skb to the network stack before allocating its replacement. If the allocation fails, nothing is reposted. Every failure therefore takes one buffer out of the RX queue while the interface remains up, and enough failures eventually stall reception. A ret…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: devmem: prevent net-iov / page mixing We should either have net_iov or page backed frags in a single skb, otherwise it blows up down the stack. Don't allow mixing in zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/dibs: Correct freeing of dmb_clientid_arr A dibs device interrupt handler can be active after dibs_dev_del() and may still access dmb_clientid_arr. (UAF) In case of a failure in dibs_dev_add() being called by dibs_lo_dev_probe() dmb_clientid_arr is freed twice (double free). Free dmb_clientid_arr in dibs_dev_release() after last reference is gone. Not…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: atlantic: free RX pages of consumed but not refilled buffers aq_ring_rx_deinit() only walks [sw_head, sw_tail), the region posted to hardware. Since the page reuse strategy was added, a cleaned RX buffer keeps its page (and its DMA mapping) in the ring for reuse, and refill is batched: aq_ring_rx_fill() returns early until AQ_CFG_RX_REFILL_THRES slots …
