In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernfs: fix xattr race condition with multiple superblocks Multiple superblocks with different namespaces can share the same kernfs_node when kernfs_test_super() finds a matching root but different namespace. This means multiple inodes from different superblocks can reference the same kernfs_node->iattr->xattrs structure. The VFS layer only holds per-inode…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Clear rb node linkage when freeing bpf_rb_root bpf_rb_root_free() detaches the root by copying the current rb_root_cached and then replacing the live root with RB_ROOT_CACHED. It then walks the copied root and drops each object contained in the tree. This leaves the rb node state intact while dropping the object. If the object is refcounted and surviv…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: cttimeout: detach dataplane timeout policy and repurpose refcount Add a refcount for struct nf_ct_timeout which is used by ct extension to set the custom ct timeout policy, this tells us that the ct timeout is being used by a conntrack entry. When the last conntrack entry drops the refcount on the ct timeout, the ct timeout is released. Remove t…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix OOB read during CQ MR registration Sashiko pointed out an unrelated bug during a previous patch: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260512183852.614045-1-jmoroni%40google.com This change fixes the bug by eliminating the cqmr->split field which was not being set properly and instead just checks the CQ resize feature flag directly. The cqmr->s…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: amd: acp-sdw-sof: Bound DAI link iteration create_sdw_dailinks() walks sof_dais until it finds an entry with initialised cleared, but sof_dais is allocated with exactly num_ends entries. If all entries are initialised, the loop reads past the end of the array. Pass the allocated entry count to create_sdw_dailinks() and stop before reading past the ar…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: amd: acp-sdw-legacy: Bound DAI link iteration create_sdw_dailinks() walks soc_dais until it finds an entry with initialised cleared, but soc_dais is allocated with exactly num_ends entries. If all entries are initialised, the loop reads past the end of the array. This was reported by KASAN: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in mc_probe+0x26b3/0x2774 …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/nldev: Fix locking when accessing mr->pd Sashiko points out that, due to rereg_mr, the PD is actually variable and all the touches in nldev are racy. Use mr->device instead of mr->pd->device. Getting the PD restrack ID is more tricky. To avoid disturbing all the happy paths, add an rdma_restrack_sync() operation which is sort of like flush_workqueue(…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wcn36xx: fix OOB read from firmware count in PRINT_REG_INFO indication The firmware-controlled rsp->count field is used as the loop bound for indexing into the flexible rsp->regs[] array without validation against the message length. A count exceeding the actual data causes out-of- bounds reads from the heap-allocated message buffer. Add a check that…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_task_from_vpid() bpf_task_from_vpid() looks up a task in the pid namespace of the current task, via find_task_by_vpid(): find_task_by_vpid(vpid) find_task_by_pid_ns(vpid, task_active_pid_ns(current)) find_pid_ns(nr, ns) -> idr_find(&ns->idr, nr) cgroup_skb programs run in softirq, which may interrupt a …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: bound S1G TIM PVB walk to the TIM element ieee80211_s1g_check_tim() parses the S1G Partial Virtual Bitmap (PVB) of a received TIM element. The TIM is handed in as the element payload: ieee802_11_parse_elems_full() stores elems->tim = elem->data and elems->tim_len = elem->datalen (net/mac80211/parse.c), so the valid bytes are [tim, tim + tim_…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locks NMI and tracepoint BPF programs can re-enter the per-CPU or global LRU lock that bpf_lru_pop_free()/push_free() already hold on the same CPU, AA-deadlocking. Lockdep reports "inconsistent {INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI}" on &l->lock (syzbot c69a0a2c816716f1e0d5) and "possible recursive locking detected" on &l…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject sleepable BPF_LSM_CGROUP programs at load time The cgroup shim runs under rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate(), so we should not attach any sleepable BPF programs there. Add support to the verifier to explicitly reject attempts to load sleepable BPF programs destined for LSM cgroup attachment. Without this, we get the following splat from a BPF_LSM_CGR…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read snd_seq_read() copies a queued variable-length event header to userspace before expanding the payload. Queued variable-length events use SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_CHAINED internally, and data.ext.ptr points at the first extension cell. The read side strips SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_* bits from data.ext.len before the copy, but it le…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: validate skb length in testmode query In mt7925_tm_query(), the response skb from mt76_mcu_send_and_get_msg() is used in a memcpy without validating its length: memcpy(evt_resp, skb->data + 8, MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN); where MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN is 512. If the firmware returns a response shorter than 520 bytes (8 + 512), this reads beyond t…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix resource leak in probe error path When pcim_iomap_region() or devm_kmemdup() fail, the code returns directly without cleaning up previously allocated resources: - mt76_device allocated by mt76_alloc_device() - pci irq vectors allocated by pci_alloc_irq_vectors() Fix this by jumping to the existing error cleanup path instead of re…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Destroy the pages content after detaching from dmabuf Sashiko points out this has gotten out of order, the mutex could still be in use through the dmabuf invalidation callbacks. Don't destroy any of the pages content until the dmabuf is fully detached.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: configfs: fix lockless traversals of ->s_children Having the parent directory locked protects entries from removal by another thread, but it does *not* protect cursors from being moved around by lseek() - or freed, for that matter.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: use kfree_rcu for offchannel link in mt76_put_vif_phy_link mt76_put_vif_phy_link() frees the offchannel mlink with plain kfree() after rcu_assign_pointer(NULL). However, rcu_assign_pointer only prevents future RCU readers from obtaining the pointer -- it does not wait for existing readers that already hold it via rcu_dereference. The TX datapat…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vmalloc: fix NULL pointer dereference in is_vm_area_hugepages() find_vm_area() can return NULL if the given address is not a valid vmalloc area. Check the return value before dereferencing it to avoid a kernel crash.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: unregister PM notifier on watchdog unregister watchdog_register_device() registers wdd->pm_nb when WDOG_NO_PING_ON_SUSPEND is set, but watchdog_unregister_device() does not remove it. This leaves an embedded notifier block on the PM notifier chain after the watchdog device has been unregistered. A later suspend/resume notification can then call w…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images() A recursive locking deadlock can occur in the firmware loader's power management notification handler. During system suspend or hibernation preparation, fw_pm_notify() calls device_cache_fw_images(). This function acquires fw_lock to set the firmware cache state to FW_LOADER_START_CACHE and th…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in mt7996_mac_write_txwi_80211() For injected frames (e.g. via radiotap), mac80211 can pass info->control.vif = NULL, as explicitly noted in struct ieee80211_tx_info. Check vif pointer before executing ieee80211_vif_is_mld() in mt7996_mac_write_txwi_80211 routine in order to avoid a possible NULL poi…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fix possible token leak in mt7996_tx_prepare_skb() If link_conf or link_sta lookup fails in mt7996_tx_prepare_skb routine, mt7996 driver leaks an already allocated tx token. Fix the issue releasing the token in case of error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ixgbe: do not configure xps for XDP queues netif_set_xps_queue() should not be called for an XDP Tx queue, since such queues are not netdev-exposed. On systems with number of CPUs >=64, on E610 adapter, netdev is configured with maximum number queue pairs being 63 (due to MSI-X assignment), but configuring XDP results in 64 XDP queues. So, during XDP progr…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix deadlock cloning inline extent when using flushoncommit In commit b48c980b6a7e ("btrfs: fix deadlock between reflink and transaction commit when using flushoncommit") a deadlock was fixed between reflinks and transaction commits when the fs is mounted with the flushoncommit option. This happened when we had to copy an inline extent's data to the …
