I can reproduce this issue with the following steps:
1) When a dirty swapcache page is isolated by reclaim process and the
page isn't locked, inject memory failure for the page.
me_swapcache_dirty() clears uptodate flag and tries to delete from lru,
but fails. Reclaim process will put the hwpoisoned page back to lru.
2) The process that maps the hwpoisoned page exits, the page is deleted
the page will never be freed and will be in the lru forever.
3) If we trigger a reclaim again and tries to reclaim the page,
add_to_swap() will trigger VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO due to the uptodate flag is
cleared.
To fix it, skip the hwpoisoned page in shrink_folio_list(). Besides, the
hwpoison folio may not be unmapped by hwpoison_user_mappings() yet, unmap
it in shrink_folio_list(), otherwise the folio will fail to be unmaped by
hwpoison_user_mappings() since the folio isn't in lru list. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/niu: Niu requires MSIX ENTRY_DATA fields touch before entry reads
Fix niu_try_msix() to not cause a fatal trap on sparc systems.
Set PCI_DEV_FLAGS_MSIX_TOUCH_ENTRY_DATA_FIRST on the struct pci_dev to
work around a bug in the hardware or firmware.
For each vector entry in the msix table, niu chips will cause a fatal
trap if any registers in that entry are read before that entries'
ENTRY_DATA register is written to. Testing indicates writes to other
registers are not sufficient to prevent the fatal trap, however the value
does not appear to matter. This only needs to happen once after power up,
so simply rebooting into a kernel lacking this fix will NOT cause the
trap.

scsi: ufs: mcq: Add NULL check in ufshcd_mcq_abort()
A race can occur between the MCQ completion path and the abort handler:
once a request completes, __blk_mq_free_request() sets rq->mq_hctx to
NULL, meaning the subsequent ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq() call in
ufshcd_mcq_abort() can return a NULL pointer. If this NULL pointer is
dereferenced, the kernel will crash.
Add a NULL check for the returned hwq pointer. If hwq is NULL, log an
error and return FAILED, preventing a potential NULL-pointer
dereference. As suggested by Bart, the ufshcd_cmd_inflight() check is
removed.
This is similar to the fix in commit 74736103fb41 ("scsi: ufs: core: Fix
ufshcd_abort_one racing issue").
This is found by our static analysis tool KNighter. |

BTRFS error (device sdc): zoned: write pointer offset mismatch of zones in raid1 profile
When a RAID1 block-group is created and a write pointer mismatch between
the disks in the RAID set is detected, btrfs sets the alloc_offset to the
length of the block group marking it as full. Afterwards the code expects
that a balance operation will evacuate the data in this block-group and
repair the problems.
But before this is possible, the new space of this block-group will be
accounted in the free space cache. But in __btrfs_

net_sched: hfsc: Fix a potential UAF in hfsc_dequeue() too
Similarly to the previous patch, we need to safe guard hfsc_dequeue()
too. But for this one, we don't have a reliable reproducer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: uprobes: Add missing fence.i after building the XOL buffer
The XOL (execute out-of-line) buffer is used to single-step the
replaced instruction(s) for uprobes. The RISC-V port was missing a
proper fence.i (i$ flushing) after constructing the XOL buffer, which
can result in incorrect execution of stale/broken instructions.
This was found running the BPF selftests "test_progs:
uprobe_autoattach, attach_probe" on the Spacemit K1/X60, where the
uprobes tests randomly blew up. |

sched/eevdf: Fix se->slice being set to U64_MAX and resulting crash
There is a code path in dequeue_entities() that can set the slice of a
sched_entity to U64_MAX, which sometimes results in a crash.
The offending case is when dequeue_entities() is called to dequeue a
delayed group entity, and then the entity's parent's dequeue is delayed.
In that case:
1. In the if (entity_is_task(se)) else block at the beginning of
dequeue_entities(), slice is set to
cfs_rq_min_slice(group_cfs_rq(se)). If the entity was delayed, then
it has no queued tasks, so cfs_rq_min_slice() returns U64_MAX.
2. The first for_each_sched_entity() loop dequeues the entity.
3. If the entity was its parent's only child, then the next iteration
tries to dequeue the parent.
4. If the parent's dequeue needs to be delayed, then it breaks from the
first for_each_sched_entity() loop _without updating slice_.
5. The second for_each_sched_entity() loop sets the parent's ->slice to
the saved slice, which is still U64_MAX.
This throws off subsequent calculations with potentially catastrophic
results. A manifestation we saw in production was:
6. In update_entity_lag(), se->slice is used to calculate limit, which
ends up as a huge negative number.
7. limit is used in se->vlag = clamp(vlag, -limit, limit). Because limit
is negative, vlag > limit, so se->vlag is set to the same huge
negative number.
8. In place_entity(), se->vlag is scaled, which overflows and results in
another huge (positive or negative) number.
9. The adjusted lag is subtracted from se->vruntime, which increases or
decreases se->vruntime by a huge number.
10. pick_eevdf() calls entity_eligible()/vruntime_eligible(), which
incorrectly returns false because the vruntime is so far from the
other vruntimes on the queue, causing the
(vruntime - cfs_rq->min_vruntime) * load calulation to overflow.
11. Nothing appears to be eligible, so pick_eevdf() returns NULL.
12. pick_next_entity() tries to dereference the return value of
pick_eevdf() and crashes.
Dumping the cfs_rq states from the core dumps with drgn showed tell-tale
huge vruntime ranges and bogus vlag values, and I also traced se->slice
being set to U64_MAX on live systems (which was usually "benign" since
the rest of the runqueue needed to be in a particular state to crash).
Fix it in dequeue_entities() by always setting slice from the first
non-empty cfs_rq. |

xen-netfront: handle NULL returned by xdp_convert_buff_to_frame()
The function xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() may return NULL if it fails
to correctly convert the XDP buffer into an XDP frame due to memory
constraints, internal errors, or invalid data. Failing to check for NULL
may lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the result is used later in
processing, potentially causing crashes, data corruption, or undefined
behavior.
On XDP redirect failure, the associated page must be released explicitly
if it was previously retained via get_page(). Failing to do so may result
in a memory leak, as the pages reference count is not decremented. |

LoongArch: Return NULL from huge_pte_offset() for invalid PMD
LoongArch's huge_pte_offset() currently returns a pointer to a PMD slot
even if the underlying entry points to invalid_pte_table (indicating no
mapping). Callers like smaps_hugetlb_range() fetch this invalid entry
value (the address of invalid_pte_table) via this pointer.
The generic is_swap_pte() check then incorrectly identifies this address
as a swap entry on LoongArch, because it satisfies the "!pte_present()
&& !pte_none()" conditions. This misinterpretation, combined with a
coincidental match by is_migration_entry() on the address bits, leads to
kernel crashes in pfn_swap_entry_to_page().
Fix this at the architecture level by modifying huge_pte_offset() to
check the PMD entry's content using pmd_none() before returning. If the
entry is invalid (i.e., it points to invalid_pte_table), return NULL
instead of the pointer to the slot. |

mcb: fix a double free bug in chameleon_parse_gdd()
In chameleon_parse_gdd(), if mcb_device_register() fails, 'mdev'
would be released in mcb_device_register() via put_device().
Thus, goto 'err' label and free 'mdev' again causes a double free.
Just return if mcb_device_register() fails. |

mei: vsc: Fix fortify-panic caused by invalid counted_by() use
gcc 15 honors the __counted_by(len) attribute on vsc_tp_packet.buf[]
and the vsc-tp.c code is using this in a wrong way. len does not contain
the available size in the buffer, it contains the actual packet length
*without* the crc. So as soon as vsc_tp_xfer() tries to add the crc to
buf[] the fortify-panic handler gets triggered:
[ 80.842193] memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 4 byte write of buffer size 0
[ 80.842243] WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 272 at lib/string_helpers.c:1032 __fortify_report+0x45/0x50

The easiest fix would be to just drop the counted-by but with the exception
of the ack buffer in vsc_tp_xfer_helper() which only contains enough room
for the packet-header, all other uses of vsc_tp_packet always use a buffer
of VSC_TP_MAX_XFER_SIZE bytes for the packet.
Instead of just dropping the counted-by, split the vsc_tp_packet struct
definition into a header and a full-packet definition and use a fixed
size buf[] in the packet definition, this way fortify-source buffer
overrun checking still works when enabled. |

misc: microchip: pci1xxxx: Fix Kernel panic during IRQ handler registration
Resolve kernel panic while accessing IRQ handler associated with the
generated IRQ. This is done by acquiring the spinlock and storing the
current interrupt state before handling the interrupt request using
generic_handle_irq.
A previous fix patch was submitted where 'generic_handle_irq' was
replaced with 'handle_nested_irq'. However, this change also causes
the kernel panic where after determining which GPIO triggered the
interrupt and attempting to call handle_nested_irq with the mapped
IRQ number, leads to a failure in locating the registered handler. |

tty: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for all usages of TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT
This requirement was overeagerly loosened in commit 2f83e38a095f
("tty: Permit some TIOCL_SETSEL modes without CAP_SYS_ADMIN"), but as
it turns out,
(1) the logic I implemented there was inconsistent (apologies!),
(2) TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT might actually be a small security risk
after all, and
(3) TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT is only meant to be used by the mouse
daemon (GPM or Consolation), which runs as CAP_SYS_ADMIN
already.
In more detail:
1. The previous patch has inconsistent logic:
In commit 2f83e38a095f ("tty: Permit some TIOCL_SETSEL modes
without CAP_SYS_ADMIN"), we checked for sel_mode ==
TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT, but overlooked that the lower four bits of
this "mode" parameter were actually used as an additional way to
pass an argument. So the patch did actually still require
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, if any of the mouse button bits are set, but did not
require it if none of the mouse buttons bits are set.
This logic is inconsistent and was not intentional. We should have
the same policies for using TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT independent of the
value of the "hidden" mouse button argument.
I sent a separate documentation patch to the man page list with
more details on TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250223091342.35523-2-gnoack3000@gmail.com/
2. TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT is indeed a potential security risk which can
let an attacker simulate "keyboard" input to command line
applications on the same terminal, like TIOCSTI and some other
TIOCLINUX "selection mode" IOCTLs.
By enabling mouse reporting on a terminal and then injecting mouse
reports through TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT, an attacker can simulate
mouse movements on the same terminal, similar to the TIOCSTI
keystroke injection attacks that were previously possible with
TIOCSTI and other TIOCL_SETSEL selection modes.
Many programs (including libreadline/bash) are then prone to
misinterpret these mouse reports as normal keyboard input because
they do not expect input in the X11 mouse protocol form. The
attacker does not have complete control over the escape sequence,
but they can at least control the values of two consecutive bytes
in the binary mouse reporting escape sequence.
I went into more detail on that in the discussion at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250221.0a947528d8f3@gnoack.org/
It is not equally trivial to simulate arbitrary keystrokes as it
was with TIOCSTI (commit 83efeeeb3d04 ("tty: Allow TIOCSTI to be
disabled")), but the general mechanism is there, and together with
the small number of existing legit use cases (see below), it would
be better to revert back to requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN for
TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT, as it was already the case before
commit 2f83e38a095f ("tty: Permit some TIOCL_SETSEL modes without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN").
3. TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT is only used by the mouse daemons (GPM or
Consolation), and they are the only legit use case:
To quote console_codes(4):
The mouse tracking facility is intended to return
xterm(1)-compatible mouse status reports. Because the console
driver has no way to know the device or type of the mouse, these
reports are returned in the console input stream only when the
virtual terminal driver receives a mouse update ioctl. These
ioctls must be generated by a mouse-aware user-mode application
such as the gpm(8) daemon.
Jared Finder has also confirmed in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/491f3df9de6593df8e70dbe77614b026@finder.org/
that Emacs does not call TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT directly, and it
would be difficult to find good reasons for doing that, given that
it would interfere with the reports that GPM is sending.
