| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: mxcmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory
that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel
crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path.
So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call
mmc_free_host(). |

erofs: Fix pcluster memleak when its block address is zero
syzkaller reported a memleak:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=62f37ff612f0021641eda5b17f056f1668aa9aed

syzkaller constructed a case: in z_erofs_register_pcluster(),
ztailpacking = false and map->m_pa = zero. This makes pcl->obj.index be
zero although pcl is not a inline pcluster.
Then following path adds refcount for grp, but the refcount won't be put
because pcl is inline.
z_erofs_readahead()
z_erofs_do_read_page() # for another page

Since it's illegal for the block address of a non-inlined pcluster to
be zero, add check here to avoid registering the pcluster which would
be leaked. |

usb: host: max3421-hcd: Fix error pointer dereference in probe cleanup
The kthread_run() function returns error pointers so the
max3421_hcd->spi_thread pointer can be either error pointers or NULL.
Check for both before dereferencing it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Fix a null-ptr access in the cursor snooper
Check that the resource which is converted to a surface exists before
trying to use the cursor snooper on it.
vmw_cmd_res_check allows explicit invalid (SVGA3D_INVALID_ID) identifiers
because some svga commands accept SVGA3D_INVALID_ID to mean "no surface",
unfortunately functions that accept the actual surfaces as objects might
(and in case of the cursor snooper, do not) be able to handle null
objects. Make sure that we validate not only the identifier (via the
vmw_cmd_res_check) but also check that the actual resource exists before
trying to do something with it.
Fixes unchecked null-ptr reference in the snooping code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: check device's attached status in compat ioctls
Syzbot identified an issue [1] that crashes kernel, seemingly due to
unexistent callback dev->get_valid_routes(). By all means, this should
not occur as said callback must always be set to
get_zero_valid_routes() in __comedi_device_postconfig().
As the crash seems to appear exclusively in i386 kernels, at least,
judging from [1] reports, the blame lies with compat versions
of standard IOCTL handlers. Several of them are modified and
do not use comedi_unlocked_ioctl(). While functionality of these
ioctls essentially copy their original versions, they do not
have required sanity check for device's attached status. This,
in turn, leads to a possibility of calling select IOCTLs on a
device that has not been properly setup, even via COMEDI_DEVCONFIG.
Doing so on unconfigured devices means that several crucial steps
are missed, for instance, specifying dev->get_valid_routes()
callback.
Fix this somewhat crudely by ensuring device's attached status before
performing any ioctls, improving logic consistency between modern
and compat functions.

cifs: client: fix memory leak in smb3_fs_context_parse_param
The user calls fsconfig twice, but when the program exits, free() only
frees ctx->source for the second fsconfig, not the first.
Regarding fc->source, there is no code in the fs context related to its
memory reclamation.
To fix this memory leak, release the source memory corresponding to ctx
or fc before each parsing.

vsock: fix lock inversion in vsock_assign_transport()
Syzbot reported a potential lock inversion deadlock between
vsock_register_mutex and sk_lock-AF_VSOCK when vsock_linger() is called.
The issue was introduced by commit 687aa0c5581b ("vsock: Fix
transport_* TOCTOU") which added vsock_register_mutex locking in
vsock_assign_transport() around the transport->release() call, that can
call vsock_linger(). vsock_assign_transport() can be called with sk_lock
held. vsock_linger() calls sk_wait_event() that temporarily releases and
re-acquires sk_lock. During this window, if another thread hold
vsock_register_mutex while trying to acquire sk_lock, a circular
dependency is created.
Fix this by releasing vsock_register_mutex before calling
transport->release() and vsock_deassign_transport(). This is safe
because we don't need to hold vsock_register_mutex while releasing the
old transport, and we ensure the new transport won't disappear by
obtaining a module reference first via try_module_get(). |

mm/memfd: fix information leak in hugetlb folios
When allocating hugetlb folios for memfd, three initialization steps are
missing:
1. Folios are not zeroed, leading to kernel memory disclosure to userspace
2. Folios are not marked uptodate before adding to page cache
3. hugetlb_fault_mutex is not taken before hugetlb_add_to_page_cache()
The memfd allocation path bypasses the normal page fault handler
(hugetlb_no_page) which would handle all of these initialization steps.
This is problematic especially for udmabuf use cases where folios are
pinned and directly accessed by userspace via DMA.
Fix by matching the initialization pattern used in hugetlb_no_page():
- Zero the folio using folio_zero_user() which is optimized for huge pages
- Mark it uptodate with folio_mark_uptodate()
- Take hugetlb_fault_mutex before adding to page cache to prevent races
The folio_zero_user() change also fixes a potential security issue where
uninitialized kernel memory could be disclosed to userspace through read()
or mmap() operations on the memfd. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: akcipher - default implementation for setting a private key
Changes from v1:
* removed the default implementation from set_pub_key: it is assumed that
an implementation must always have this callback defined as there are
no use case for an algorithm, which doesn't need a public key
Many akcipher implementations (like ECDSA) support only signature
verifications, so they don't have all callbacks defined.
Commit 78a0324f4a53 ("crypto: akcipher - default implementations for
request callbacks") introduced default callbacks for sign/verify
operations, which just return an error code.
However, these are not enough, because before calling sign the caller would
likely call set_priv_key first on the instantiated transform (as the
in-kernel testmgr does). This function does not have a default stub, so the
kernel crashes, when trying to set a private key on an akcipher, which
doesn't support signature generation.
I've noticed this, when trying to add a KAT vector for ECDSA signature to
the testmgr.
With this patch the testmgr returns an error in dmesg (as it should)
instead of crashing the kernel NULL ptr dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: imm: Fix use-after-free bug caused by unfinished delayed work
The delayed work item 'imm_tq' is initialized in imm_attach() and
scheduled via imm_queuecommand() for processing SCSI commands. When the
IMM parallel port SCSI host adapter is detached through imm_detach(),
the imm_struct device instance is deallocated.
However, the delayed work might still be pending or executing
when imm_detach() is called, leading to use-after-free bugs
when the work function imm_interrupt() accesses the already
freed imm_struct memory.
The race condition can occur as follows:
CPU 0(detach thread) | CPU 1
| imm_queuecommand()
| imm_queuecommand_lck()
imm_detach() | schedule_delayed_work()
kfree(dev) //FREE | imm_interrupt()
| dev = container_of(...) //USE
dev-> //USE
Add disable_delayed_work_sync() in imm_detach() to guarantee proper
cancellation of the delayed work item before imm_struct is deallocated. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: pcl818: fix null-ptr-deref in pcl818_ai_cancel()
Syzbot identified an issue [1] in pcl818_ai_cancel(), which stems from
the fact that in case of early device detach via pcl818_detach(),
subdevice dev->read_subdev may not have initialized its pointer to
&struct comedi_async as intended. Thus, any such dereferencing of
&s->async->cmd will lead to general protection fault and kernel crash.
Mitigate this problem by removing a call to pcl818_ai_cancel() from
pcl818_detach() altogether. This way, if the subdevice setups its
support for async commands, everything async-related will be
handled via subdevice's own ->cancel() function in
comedi_device_detach_locked() even before pcl818_detach(). If no
support for asynchronous commands is provided, there is no need
to cancel anything either.

wifi: ath11k: fix peer HE MCS assignment
In ath11k_wmi_send_peer_assoc_cmd(), peer's transmit MCS is sent to
firmware as receive MCS while peer's receive MCS sent as transmit MCS,
which goes against firmwire's definition.
While connecting to a misbehaved AP that advertises 0xffff (meaning not
supported) for 160 MHz transmit MCS map, firmware crashes due to 0xffff
is assigned to he_mcs->rx_mcs_set field.

Swap the assignment to fix this issue.
As the HE rate control mask is meant to limit our own transmit MCS, it
needs to go via he_mcs->rx_mcs_set field. With the aforementioned swapping
done, change is needed as well to apply it to the peer's receive MCS.

bpf: Free special fields when update [lru_,]percpu_hash maps
As [lru_,]percpu_hash maps support BPF_KPTR_{REF,PERCPU}, missing
calls to 'bpf_obj_free_fields()' in 'pcpu_copy_value()' could cause the
memory referenced by BPF_KPTR_{REF,PERCPU} fields to be held until the
map gets freed.

KVM: VMX: Fix crash due to uninitialized current_vmcs
KVM enables 'Enlightened VMCS' and 'Enlightened MSR Bitmap' when running as
a nested hypervisor on top of Hyper-V. When MSR bitmap is updated,
evmcs_touch_msr_bitmap function uses current_vmcs per-cpu variable to mark
that the msr bitmap was changed.
vmx_vcpu_create() modifies the msr bitmap via vmx_disable_intercept_for_msr
-> vmx_msr_bitmap_l01_changed which in the end calls this function. The
function checks for current_vmcs if it is null but the check is
insufficient because current_vmcs is not initialized. Because of this, the
code might incorrectly write to the structure pointed by current_vmcs value
left by another task. Preemption is not disabled, the current task can be
preempted and moved to another CPU while current_vmcs is accessed multiple
times from evmcs_touch_msr_bitmap() which leads to crash.
The manipulation of MSR bitmaps by callers happens only for vmcs01 so the
solution is to use vmx->vmcs01.vmcs instead of current_vmcs.

phy: qcom-qusb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference on early suspend
Enabling runtime PM before attaching the QPHY instance as driver data
can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM callbacks that
expect valid driver data. There is a small window where the suspend
callback may run after PM runtime enabling and before runtime forbid.
This causes a sporadic crash during boot:

backlight: led-bl: Add devlink to supplier LEDs
LED Backlight is a consumer of one or multiple LED class devices, but
devlink is currently unable to create correct supplier-producer links when
the supplier is a class device. It creates instead a link where the
supplier is the parent of the expected device.
One consequence is that removal order is not correctly enforced.
Issues happen for example with the following sections in a device tree
overlay:
// An LED driver chip
pca9632@62 {
compatible = "nxp,pca9632";
reg = <0x62>;
// ...
addon_led_pwm: led-pwm@3 {
reg = <3>;
label = "addon:led:pwm";
};
};
backlight-addon {
compatible = "led-backlight";
leds = <&addon_led_pwm>;
brightness-levels = <255>;
default-brightness-level = <255>;
};
In this example, the devlink should be created between the backlight-addon
(consumer) and the pca9632@62 (supplier). Instead it is created between the
backlight-addon (consumer) and the parent of the pca9632@62, which is
typically the I2C bus adapter.
On removal of the above overlay, the LED driver can be removed before the
backlight device, resulting in:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010
...
Call trace:
led_put+0xe0/0x140
devm_led_release+0x6c/0x98
Another way to reproduce the bug without any device tree overlays is
unbinding the LED class device (pca9632@62) before unbinding the consumer
(backlight-addon):
echo 11-0062 >/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/leds-pca963x/unbind
echo ...backlight-dock >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/led-backlight/unbind
Fix by adding a devlink between the consuming led-backlight device and the
supplying LED device, as other drivers and subsystems do as well. |
