CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino
Fix the lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino by
taking net->cells_lock exclusively. This also requires to cell to be
removed from net->cells_dyn_ino in afs_destroy_cell_work() rather than in
afs_cell_destroy() as the latter runs in RCU cleanup context and sleeping
locks cannot be taken there. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix the volume AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE is set on
Fix afs_insert_volume_into_cell() to set AFS_VOLUME_RM_TREE on the volume
replaced, not the new volume, as it's now removed from the cell's volume
tree. This will cause the old volume to be removed from the tree twice and
the new volume never to be removed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
minix: avoid overflow in bitmap block count calculation
minix_check_superblock() uses minix_blocks_needed() to verify that the
on-disk imap and zmap block counts are large enough for the advertised
inode and zone counts.
The helper currently performs DIV_ROUND_UP() in unsigned int arithmetic.
A Minix v3 image can set s_ninodes or s_zones near UINT_MAX so the
addition inside DIV_ROUND_UP() wraps to zero. That makes a zero imap/zmap
block count look valid, after which minix_fill_super() can dereference
s_imap[0] or s_zmap[0] even though no bitmap buffers were allocated.
Impact: mounting a crafted Minix v3 image whose s_ninodes or s_zones is
near UINT_MAX makes minix_check_superblock() accept a zero bitmap-block
count and minix_fill_super() dereference s_imap[0]/s_zmap[0], panicking
the kernel.
The divisor is the bitmap capacity in bits, blocksize * 8, which is
always a power of two: minix_fill_super() obtains the block size through
sb_set_blocksize(), and blk_validate_block_size() rejects any size that
is not a power of two. Use DIV_ROUND_UP_POW2(), which divides before
adding the round-up term and so cannot overflow for a power-of-two
divisor. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: Fix double unlock in nomem_d_alloc error path
When start_creating() fails and returns -ENOMEM, it has already
released the parent directory lock in __start_dirop():
static struct dentry *__start_dirop(...)
{
...
inode_lock_nested(dir, I_MUTEX_PARENT);
dentry = lookup_one_qstr_excl(name, parent, lookup_flags);
if (IS_ERR(dentry))
inode_unlock(dir); <-- Lock released on error
return dentry;
}
However, the nomem_d_alloc error path in cachefiles_get_directory()
unconditionally calls inode_unlock(d_inode(dir)) again, causing a
double unlock that corrupts the rwsem state.
This is a leftover from commit 7ab96df840e60 which replaced manual
locking with start_creating() but failed to update the nomem_d_alloc
path (while correctly updating mkdir_error and lookup_error paths). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iomap: guard io_size EOF trim against concurrent truncate underflow
iomap: fix zero padding data issue in concurrent append writes
changed ioend accounting so that io_size tracks only valid data
within EOF. This trims io_size when a writeback range extends
past end_pos:
ioend->io_size += map_len;
if (ioend->io_offset + ioend->io_size > end_pos)
ioend->io_size = end_pos - ioend->io_offset;
However, if end_pos ends up below ioend->io_offset, the subtraction
becomes negative and is stored in size_t io_size, causing an unsigned
wrap to a huge value. This can happen when writeback continues past
byte-level EOF up to a block-aligned range, or when a concurrent
truncate shrinks the file after end_pos was sampled in
iomap_writeback_handle_eof().
A wrapped io_size can mislead append detection and corrupt
completion-time size handling, since filesystem end_io paths consume
io_size for decisions such as on-disk EOF updates and unwritten/COW
completion ranges.
Fix this by clamping io_size to zero when EOF has moved to or before
the ioend start offset. This preserves the original intent of trimming
io_size to valid in-EOF data while avoiding the underflow. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix netfs_create_write_req() to handle async cache object creation
netfs_create_write_req() will skip caching if the fscache cookie is
disabled, but this is a problem because async cache object creation might
not have got far enough yet that has been enabled - thereby causing the
call to fscache_begin_write_operation() to be skipped.
Fix this by removing the checks on the cookie and delegating this to
fscache_begin_write_operation(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix writeback error handling
Fix the error handling in writeback_iter() loop. If an error occurs,
writeback_iter() needs to be called again with *error set to the error so
that it can clean up iteration state. Further, the current folio needs
unlocking and redirtying. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pf: Don't attempt to process FAST_REQ or EVENT relays
Currently defined VF/PF relay actions use regular REQUEST messages
only and the PF shouldn't attempt to handle FAST_REQUEST nor EVENT
messages as this would result in breaking the VFPF ABI protocol
and also might trigger an assert on the PF side.
(cherry picked from commit 1714d360fc5ae2e0886a69e979095d9c7ff3568a) |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uprobes/x86: Use proper mm_struct in __in_uprobe_trampoline
In the unregister path we use __in_uprobe_trampoline check with
current->mm for the VMA lookup, which is wrong, because we are
in the tracer context, not the traced process.
Add mm_struct pointer argument to __in_uprobe_trampoline and
changing related callers to pass proper mm_struct pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix missing credit release on failure in cifs_issue_read()
Fix missing release of credits in the failure path in cifs_issue_read()
lest retrying the subreq just overwrites the credits value. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix barriering when walking subrequest list
Fix the barriering used when walking the subrequest list in retry as
there's a possibility of seeing a subreq that's just been added by the
application thread. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: avoid stale runlist element dereference in MFT writeback
ntfs_write_mft_block() maps each $MFT record through the $MFT data
runlist. For sub-folio clusters it looks up a struct runlist_element under
ni->runlist.lock, drops the lock, and later uses rl->length and rl->vcn
when choosing folio_sz.
That pointer is only borrowed from ni->runlist.rl. Concurrent $MFT
allocation extension can merge a replacement runlist under the same lock,
and ntfs_rl_realloc() can free the old backing array. If that happens
between the lookup and the later folio_sz decision, writeback can
dereference freed runlist storage.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
MFT writeback path: $MFT allocation extension:
1. Look up rl under 1. Extend the $MFT data allocation.
ni->runlist.lock. 2. Publish a replacement runlist.
2. Drop ni->runlist.lock. 3. Free the old runlist array.
3. Read rl->length and rl->vcn
to choose folio_sz.
Compute the remaining run length while ni->runlist.lock is still held, and
use that scalar after unlock. This preserves the existing folio sizing
decision without carrying a borrowed runlist_element across the lock
boundary.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: avoid stale runlist element dereference in fallocate
ntfs_attr_fallocate() allocates holes and delayed allocations inside
initialized size by looking up the current runlist element under
ni->runlist.lock. The returned struct runlist_element is only a borrowed
pointer into ni->runlist.rl. A writer can replace and free that array
after the read lock is dropped, so later reads of rl->lcn, rl->length and
rl->vcn can touch freed memory.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
ntfs_attr_fallocate():
1. Take ni->runlist.lock for read.
2. Get rl from ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock().
3. Drop ni->runlist.lock.
4. Read rl->lcn, rl->length and rl->vcn.
mmap page_mkwrite:
1. Enter ntfs_filemap_page_mkwrite().
2. Reach __ntfs_write_iomap_begin() and ntfs_attr_map_cluster().
3. Merge allocation state with ntfs_runlists_merge().
4. Reallocate ni->runlist.rl in ntfs_rl_realloc(), freeing the old array.

Fix this by copying the needed runlist fields while the read lock is still
held and using only those scalar snapshots after unlocking.
After the snapshot, ntfs_attr_map_cluster() can also find that the range
is already mapped and return balloc=false. Only call ntfs_dio_zero_range()
when new clusters were allocated, matching the write iomap path and
preserving the zero-newly-allocated-holes behavior. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_u32: reject invalid shift counts
u32_match_it() executes rule-supplied shift operands on a 32-bit
value. A malformed u32 rule can provide a shift count of 32 or more,
triggering an undefined shift out-of-bounds during packet evaluation.
Validate XT_U32_LEFTSH and XT_U32_RIGHTSH operands in
u32_mt_checkentry() and reject malformed rules before they reach the
packet path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ip6tables: mark malformed IPv6 extension headers for hotdrop
The ah, hbh and rt matches check that the fixed extension header is
present, then use the header length field to derive the advertised
extension header length for matching.
For the ah match, add the missing advertised-length check. For hbh
and rt, update the existing advertised-length checks. In all three
cases, set hotdrop to true before returning false when the advertised
extension header length exceeds the available skb data.
Returning false treats the packet as a rule mismatch. Set hotdrop to
true and drop malformed packets so they cannot bypass rules intended
to drop packets with these IPv6 extension headers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_connmark: reject invalid shift parameters
Revision 2 of the CONNMARK target accepts user-controlled shift
parameters and applies them to 32-bit mark values in
connmark_tg_shift().
A shift_bits value of 32 or more triggers an undefined-shift bug when
the rule is evaluated. Invalid shift_dir values are also accepted and
silently fall back to the left-shift path.
Reject invalid revision-2 shift parameters in connmark_tg_check() so
malformed rules fail at installation time, before they can reach the
packet path. |

net/mlx5e: TC, skip peer flow cleanup when LAG seq is unavailable
mlx5_lag_get_dev_seq() will return error when the peer isn't in the LAG
or when no device is marked as master. Result bad memory access and kernel
crash[1].
Hence, skip the peer when lookup fails.
Note: In case there are peer flows, they are cleaned before LAG cleared
the master mark.

net/mlx5e: Fix HV VHCA stats zero-sized buffer allocation
mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_create() is called from mlx5e_nic_enable(),
before mlx5e_open(). At that point priv->stats_nch is still zero,
because it is only ever incremented in mlx5e_channel_stats_alloc(),
which is reached only from mlx5e_open_channel().
mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_buf_size() therefore returns 0, and
kvzalloc(0, GFP_KERNEL) returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR ((void *)16) rather
than NULL. The "if (!buf)" guard does not catch this, and
mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_create() completes "successfully" with
priv->stats_agent.buf set to ZERO_SIZE_PTR.
Once channels are opened (priv->stats_nch > 0) and the hypervisor
enables stats reporting, mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_work() recomputes
buf_len using the new non-zero stats_nch and calls
memset(buf, 0, buf_len) on ZERO_SIZE_PTR, faulting at address 0x10.
Allocate the buffer based on priv->max_nch, which is set in
mlx5e_priv_init() and is the upper bound on stats_nch:
- Add a separate helper mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_buf_max_size() that
returns sizeof(per_ring_stats) * max(max_nch, stats_nch), and
use it for the kvzalloc() in mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_create().
- Keep mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_buf_size() (which returns based on
stats_nch) for the worker's active payload size, so the wire
format (block->rings = stats_nch) and the amount of data filled
by mlx5e_hv_vhca_fill_stats() are unchanged.
The max(max_nch, stats_nch) guard handles the rare case where
mlx5e_attach_netdev() recomputes max_nch downward across a
detach/resume cycle while priv->stats_nch persists (mlx5e_detach_netdev
does not call mlx5e_priv_cleanup, so stats_nch is only reset when
the netdev is destroyed). Without the guard, the worker could compute
buf_len from stats_nch and overrun the smaller buffer allocated based
on the reduced max_nch.
Allocating a non-zero buffer also makes the kvzalloc() failure path in
mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_create() reachable for the first time: it returns
early without (re)creating the agent. Clear
priv->stats_agent.{agent,buf} in mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_destroy() after
freeing them, so that if a later create() bails out on this path, a
subsequent teardown does not double-free the stale agent/buffer left
from a previous enable/disable cycle.
This mirrors the existing mlx5e pattern of preallocating arrays of
size max_nch (e.g. priv->channel_stats) and lazily populating
entries up to stats_nch on demand. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix HV VHCA stats agent registration race
mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_create() registers the stats agent through
mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(). The helper publishes the agent in
hv_vhca->agents[type] under agents_lock and immediately schedules an
asynchronous control invalidation on the HV VHCA workqueue before
returning to mlx5e.
The asynchronous invalidation invokes the control agent's invalidate
callback, which reads the hypervisor control block and forwards the
command to mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_control(). That callback may either:
- call cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->stats_agent.work), or
- call queue_delayed_work(priv->wq, &sagent->work, sagent->delay).
However, the delayed_work and priv->stats_agent.agent are only
initialized after mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create() returns to mlx5e:
agent = mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(...); /* publish + invalidate */
...
priv->stats_agent.agent = agent; /* too late */
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&priv->stats_agent.work, ...); /* too late */
If the asynchronous control path runs before the two assignments
above, it can:
- Operate on an uninitialized delayed_work whose timer.function is
NULL. queue_delayed_work() calls add_timer() unconditionally, so
when the timer expires the timer softirq invokes a NULL function
pointer.
- Re-initialize the timer later through INIT_DELAYED_WORK() while
the timer is already enqueued in the timer wheel, corrupting the
hlist (entry.pprev cleared while the previous bucket node still
points at this entry).
- When the worker eventually runs, mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_work() reads
sagent->agent (NULL) and dereferences it inside
mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_write().
Fix this by:
- Initializing priv->stats_agent.work before invoking
mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(), so the work is always in a valid
state when the control callback observes it.
- Adding a struct mlx5_hv_vhca_agent **ctx_update out-parameter
to mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(). The helper writes the agent
pointer to *ctx_update before publishing into hv_vhca->agents[]
and triggering the agents_update flow, so any callback
subsequently invoked from that flow already sees a valid
priv->stats_agent.agent. This avoids having the control
callback participate in agent initialization.
While at it, access priv->stats_agent.agent with

net: microchip: vcap: fix races on the shared Super VCAP block
The VCAP instances on a chip are not independent, yet they are locked
independently. On sparx5 and lan969x the IS0 and IS2 instances are
backed by the same Super VCAP hardware block and share its cache and
command registers: every access drives the shared VCAP_SUPER_CTRL
register and moves data through the shared cache registers.
Accessing one instance therefore races with accessing another. The
per-instance admin->lock cannot prevent this, as each instance takes a
different lock.
The locking issue is mostly disguised by the fact that the core usage of
the vcap api runs under rtnl. However, the full rule dump in debugfs
decodes rules straight from hardware (a READ command followed by a cache
read) and runs outside rtnl, so it races a concurrent tc-flower rule
write to another Super VCAP instance.
Besides corrupting the dump, the read repopulates the shared cache
between the writers cache fill and its write command, so the writer
commits the wrong data and corrupts the hardware entry.
Introduce vcap_lock() and vcap_unlock() helpers and route every rule
lock site in the VCAP API and its debugfs code through them. Replace the
per-instance admin->lock with a single mutex in struct vcap_control that
serializes access to all instances. The helpers reach it through a new
admin->vctrl back-pointer, and the clients initialise and destroy the
control lock instead of a per-instance one.
No path holds more than one instance lock, so collapsing them onto a
single mutex cannot self-deadlock. |
