| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Pass netdev to mlx5e_destroy_netdev instead of priv
mlx5e_priv is an unstable structure that can be memset(0) if profile
attaching fails.
Pass netdev to mlx5e_destroy_netdev() to guarantee it will work on a
valid netdev.
On mlx5e_remove: Check validity of priv->profile, before attempting
to cleanup any resources that might be not there.
This fixes a kernel oops in mlx5e_remove when switchdev mode fails due
to change profile failure.

idpf: fix error handling in the init_task on load
If the init_task fails during a driver load, we end up without vports and
netdevs, effectively failing the entire process. In that state a
subsequent reset will result in a crash as the service task attempts to
access uninitialized resources. Following trace is from an error in the
init_task where the CREATE_VPORT (op 501) is rejected by the FW:

Fix the error handling in the init_task to make sure the service and
mailbox tasks are disabled if the error happens during load. These are
started in idpf_vc_core_init(), which spawns the init_task and has no way
of knowing if it failed. If the error happens on reset, following
successful driver load, the tasks can still run, as that will allow the
netdevs to attempt recovery through another reset. Stop the PTP callbacks
either way as those will be restarted by the call to idpf_vc_core_init()
during a successful reset. |

net/mlx5e: Don't store mlx5e_priv in mlx5e_dev devlink priv
mlx5e_priv is an unstable structure that can be memset(0) if profile
attaching fails, mlx5e_priv in mlx5e_dev devlink private is used to
reference the netdev and mdev associated with that struct. Instead,
store netdev directly into mlx5e_dev and get mdev from the containing
mlx5_adev aux device structure.
This fixes a kernel oops in mlx5e_remove when switchdev mode fails due
to change profile failure.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: always call ceph_shift_unused_folios_left()
The function ceph_process_folio_batch() sets folio_batch entries to
NULL, which is an illegal state. Before folio_batch_release() crashes
due to this API violation, the function ceph_shift_unused_folios_left()
is supposed to remove those NULLs from the array.
However, since commit ce80b76dd327 ("ceph: introduce
ceph_process_folio_batch() method"), this shifting doesn't happen
anymore because the "for" loop got moved to ceph_process_folio_batch(),
and now the `i` variable that remains in ceph_writepages_start()
doesn't get incremented anymore, making the shifting effectively
unreachable much of the time.
Later, commit 1551ec61dc55 ("ceph: introduce ceph_submit_write()
method") added more preconditions for doing the shift, replacing the
`i` check (with something that is still just as broken):
- if ceph_process_folio_batch() fails, shifting never happens
- if ceph_move_dirty_page_in_page_array() was never called (because
ceph_process_folio_batch() has returned early for some of various
reasons), shifting never happens
- if `processed_in_fbatch` is zero (because ceph_process_folio_batch()
has returned early for some of the reasons mentioned above or
because ceph_move_dirty_page_in_page_array() has failed), shifting
never happens
Since those two commits, any problem in ceph_process_folio_batch()
could crash the kernel, e.g. this way:

<TASK>
ceph_writepages_start+0xeb9/0x1410
The crash can be reproduced easily by changing the
ceph_check_page_before_write() return value to `-E2BIG`.
(Interestingly, the crash happens only if `huge_zero_folio` has
already been allocated; without `huge_zero_folio`,
is_huge_zero_folio(NULL) returns true and folios_put_refs() skips NULL
entries instead of dereferencing them. That makes reproducing the bug
somewhat unreliable. See
https://lore.kernel.org/20250826231626.218675-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com
for a discussion of this detail.)
My suggestion is to move the ceph_shift_unused_folios_left() to right
after ceph_process_folio_batch() to ensure it always gets called to
fix up the illegal folio_batch state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix crash after fscrypt_encrypt_pagecache_blocks() error
The function move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() was created by commit
ce80b76dd327 ("ceph: introduce ceph_process_folio_batch() method") by
moving code from ceph_writepages_start() to this function.
This new function is supposed to return an error code which is checked
by the caller (now ceph_process_folio_batch()), and on error, the
caller invokes redirty_page_for_writepage() and then breaks from the
loop.
However, the refactoring commit has gone wrong, and it by accident, it
always returns 0 (= success) because it first NULLs the pointer and
then returns PTR_ERR(NULL) which is always 0. This means errors are
silently ignored, leaving NULL entries in the page array, which may
later crash the kernel.
The simple solution is to call PTR_ERR() before clearing the pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Pass ab pointer directly to ath12k_dp_tx_get_encap_type()
In ath12k_dp_tx_get_encap_type(), the arvif parameter is only used to
retrieve the ab pointer. In vdev delete sequence the arvif->ar could
become NULL and that would trigger kernel panic.
Since the caller ath12k_dp_tx() already has a valid ab pointer, pass it
directly to avoid panic and unnecessary dereferencing.

bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL
Arguments to a raw tracepoint are tagged as trusted, which carries the
semantics that the pointer will be non-NULL. However, in certain cases,
a raw tracepoint argument may end up being NULL. More context about this
issue is available in [0].
Thus, there is a discrepancy between the reality, that raw_tp arguments
can actually be NULL, and the verifier's knowledge, that they are never
NULL, causing explicit NULL checks to be deleted, and accesses to such
pointers potentially crashing the kernel.
To fix this, mark raw_tp arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL, and then special
case the dereference and pointer arithmetic to permit it, and allow
passing them into helpers/kfuncs; these exceptions are made for raw_tp
programs only. Ensure that we don't do this when ref_obj_id > 0, as in
that case this is an acquired object and doesn't need such adjustment.
The reason we do mask_raw_tp_trusted_reg logic is because other will
recheck in places whether the register is a trusted_reg, and then
consider our register as untrusted when detecting the presence of the
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag.
To allow safe dereference, we enable PROBE_MEM marking when we see loads
into trusted pointers with PTR_MAYBE_NULL.
While trusted raw_tp arguments can also be passed into helpers or kfuncs
where such broken assumption may cause issues, a future patch set will
tackle their case separately, as PTR_TO_BTF_ID (without PTR_TRUSTED) can
already be passed into helpers and causes similar problems. Thus, they
are left alone for now.
It is possible that these checks also permit passing non-raw_tp args
that are trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID with null marking. In such a case,
allowing dereference when pointer is NULL expands allowed behavior, so
won't regress existing programs, and the case of passing these into
helpers is the same as above and will be dealt with later.
Also update the failure case in tp_btf_nullable selftest to capture the
new behavior, as the verifier will no longer cause an error when
directly dereference a raw tracepoint argument marked as __nullable.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udmabuf: change folios array from kmalloc to kvmalloc
When PAGE_SIZE 4096, MAX_PAGE_ORDER 10, 64bit machine,
page_alloc only support 4MB.
If above this, trigger this warn and return NULL.
udmabuf can change size limit, if change it to 3072(3GB), and then alloc
3GB udmabuf, will fail create.

Because MAX_PAGE_ORDER, kmalloc can max alloc 4096 * (1 << 10), 4MB
memory, each array entry is pointer(8byte), so can save 524288 pages(2GB).
Further more, costly order(order 3) may not be guaranteed that it can be
applied for, due to fragmentation.
This patch change udmabuf array use kvmalloc_array, this can fallback
alloc into vmalloc, which can guarantee allocation for any size and does
not affect the performance of kmalloc allocations. |

| FreeRDP 3.0.0-beta4 before 3.32.0 contains a NULL pointer dereference in arm_handle_request_ok when an ARM endpoint returns an empty HTTP 200 body. Attackers controlling the configured ARM gateway can return a zero-length body to pass NULL to strnlen and crash the connecting client. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mt7530: leave the MDIO IRQ mappings to regmap-irq
mt7530_remove_common() disposes the per-PHY interrupt mappings from
.remove, but the regmap-irq chip that owns the domain is devm-registered,
so its parent interrupt is only freed once .remove has returned. The
switch's own regmap-irq thread can therefore still dispatch on a mapping
that is already gone: irq_find_mapping() returns 0, irq_to_desc() returns
NULL and handle_nested_irq() locks desc->lock without checking it. The
attached PHYs have not given those interrupts back yet either, which the
kernel warns about a moment before the fault.
regmap_del_irq_chip() disposes the same mappings itself, after freeing the
parent interrupt and before removing the domain, so there is nothing left
for the driver to do here. Until it runs the descriptors stay alive, and a
late dispatch on one of them is harmless: dsa_unregister_switch() has freed
the PHY handlers by then, so handle_nested_irq() finds no action and
returns. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the license manager service could allow an unauthenticated attacker to crash the service via the rpc_rx_fsm function when msglen is set to 0. |
| The UpdateHub firmware-over-the-air client parses the CoAP probe response with Zephyr's JSON library in z_impl_updatehub_probe() (subsys/mgmt/updatehub/updatehub.c). The decoder treats every descriptor field as optional — json_obj_parse() returns a bitmask of the fields it actually decoded and never fails on a missing one — so a response that omits the "sha256sum" string leaves the corresponding const char * in the zero-initialised struct resp_probe_any_boards / struct resp_probe_some_boards at NULL. Both metadata branches then computed sha256size = strlen(...objects.sha256sum) + 1 before any validation, dereferencing that NULL pointer; the SHA256_HEX_DIGEST_SIZE test that follows operates on a value the bad read has already produced and cannot prevent it.
The metadata is supplied entirely by the network peer: probe_cb() accepts the datagram, runs coap_packet_parse() and copies the payload with no token matching and no cryptographic check. With CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_DTLS unset — the default — start_coap_client() uses plain CoAP over UDP on port 5683 with no peer authentication and resolves the server via unauthenticated DNS, so an on-path attacker, a DNS spoofer, or an off-path attacker who wins the race with a forged source address can deliver the malformed metadata. A probe response as simple as "objects":[[{}],[{}]] suffices, and no user interaction is required because updatehub_autohandler() polls on CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_POLL_INTERVAL. When CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_DTLS=y the trigger narrows to a malicious or compromised update server.
The primitive is a read at address zero, not a write, so the impact is availability only. On targets where the low address range is unmapped or protected — MMU-based architectures, builds with CONFIG_NULL_POINTER_EXCEPTION_DETECTION_DWT/_MPU/_PMP, TrustZone non-secure images, and SoCs such as nRF54L whose 0x0–0x400 window is unmapped — the load faults and Zephyr's default fatal handler halts the system, giving a remotely re-triggerable denial of service on every poll. On classic Cortex-M targets where the vector table is readable at address zero the walk usually terminates immediately and the request is rejected by the length check, so the outcome is configuration- and SoC-dependent. There is no memory write, and the copied bytes are only compared against the locally computed image hash, so there is no information-disclosure channel.
The fix adds an explicit sha256sum == NULL test that returns UPDATEHUB_METADATA_ERROR ahead of the strlen() in both metadata branches. Debug builds (CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_LOG_LEVEL=4) still format the same pointers with %s in a LOG_DBG() loop that runs before the new checks, so that variant remains in debug configurations only. |
