| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracepoint: balance regfunc() on func_add() failure in tracepoint_add_func()
When a tracepoint goes through the 0 -> 1 transition, tracepoint_add_func()
invokes the subsystem's ext->regfunc() before attempting to install the
new probe via func_add(). If func_add() then fails (for example, when
allocate_probes() cannot allocate a new probe array under memory pressure
and returns -ENOMEM), the function returns the error without calling the
matching ext->unregfunc(), leaving the side effects of regfunc() behind
with no installed probe to justify them.
For syscall tracepoints this is particularly unpleasant: syscall_regfunc()
bumps sys_tracepoint_refcount and sets SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT on every task.
After a leaked failure, the refcount is stuck at a non-zero value with no
consumer, and every task continues paying the syscall trace entry/exit
overhead until reboot. Other subsystems providing regfunc()/unregfunc()
pairs exhibit similarly scoped persistent state.
Mirror the existing 1 -> 0 cleanup and call ext->unregfunc() in the
func_add() error path, gated on the same condition used there so the
unwind is symmetric with the registration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: validate dacloffset before building DACL pointers
parse_sec_desc(), build_sec_desc(), and the chown path in
id_mode_to_cifs_acl() all add the server-supplied dacloffset to pntsd
before proving a DACL header fits inside the returned security
descriptor.
On 32-bit builds a malicious server can return dacloffset near
U32_MAX, wrap the derived DACL pointer below end_of_acl, and then slip
past the later pointer-based bounds checks. build_sec_desc() and
id_mode_to_cifs_acl() can then dereference DACL fields from the wrapped
pointer in the chmod/chown rewrite paths.
Validate dacloffset numerically before building any DACL pointer and
reuse the same helper at the three DACL entry points. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix node_cnt race between extent node destroy and writeback
f2fs_destroy_extent_node() does not set FI_NO_EXTENT before clearing
extent nodes. When called from f2fs_drop_inode() with I_SYNC set,
concurrent kworker writeback can insert new extent nodes into the same
extent tree, racing with the destroy and triggering f2fs_bug_on() in
__destroy_extent_node(). The scenario is as follows:
drop inode writeback
- iput
- f2fs_drop_inode // I_SYNC set
- f2fs_destroy_extent_node
- __destroy_extent_node
- while (node_cnt) {
write_lock(&et->lock)
__free_extent_tree
write_unlock(&et->lock)
- __writeback_single_inode
- f2fs_outplace_write_data
- f2fs_update_read_extent_cache
- __update_extent_tree_range
// FI_NO_EXTENT not set,
// insert new extent node
} // node_cnt == 0, exit while
- f2fs_bug_on(node_cnt) // node_cnt > 0
Additionally, __update_extent_tree_range() only checks FI_NO_EXTENT for
EX_READ type, leaving EX_BLOCK_AGE updates completely unprotected.
This patch set FI_NO_EXTENT under et->lock in __destroy_extent_node(),
consistent with other callers (__update_extent_tree_range and
__drop_extent_tree) and check FI_NO_EXTENT for both EX_READ and
EX_BLOCK_AGE tree. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: microchip-core-qspi: don't attempt to transmit during emulated read-only dual/quad operations
The core will deal with reads by creating clock cycles itself, there's
no need to generate clock cycles by transmitting garbage data at the
driver level. Further, transmitting garbage data just bricks the transfer
since QSPI doesn't have a dedicated master-out line like MOSI in regular
SPI. I'm not entirely sure if the transfer is bricked because of the
garbage data being transmitted on the bus or because the core loses
track of whether it is supposed to be sending or receiving data. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: Avoid OOB font access if console rotation fails
Clear the font buffer if the reallocation during console rotation fails
in fbcon_rotate_font(). The putcs implementations for the rotated buffer
will return early in this case. See [1] for an example.
Currently, fbcon_rotate_font() keeps the old buffer, which is too small
for the rotated font. Printing to the rotated console with a high-enough
character code will overflow the font buffer.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: spi-nor: debugfs: fix out-of-bounds read in spi_nor_params_show()
Sashiko noticed an out-of-bounds read [1].
In spi_nor_params_show(), the snor_f_names array is passed to
spi_nor_print_flags() using sizeof(snor_f_names).
Since snor_f_names is an array of pointers, sizeof() returns the total
number of bytes occupied by the pointers
(element_count * sizeof(void *))
rather than the element count itself. On 64-bit systems, this makes the
passed length 8x larger than intended.
Inside spi_nor_print_flags(), the 'names_len' argument is used to
bounds-check the 'names' array access. An out-of-bounds read occurs
if a flag bit is set that exceeds the array's actual element count
but is within the inflated byte-size count.
Correct this by using ARRAY_SIZE() to pass the actual number of
string pointers in the array. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/vmw_pvrdma: Fix double free on pvrdma_alloc_ucontext() error path
Sashiko points out that pvrdma_uar_free() is already called within
pvrdma_dealloc_ucontext(), so calling it before triggers a double free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rsi: fix kthread lifetime race between self-exit and external-stop
RSI driver use both self-exit(kthread_complete_and_exit) and external-stop
(kthread_stop) when killing a kthread. Generally, kthread_stop() is called
first, and in this case, no particular issues occur.
However, in rare instances where kthread_complete_and_exit() is called
first and then kthread_stop() is called, a UAF occurs because the kthread
object, which has already exited and been freed, is accessed again.
Therefore, to prevent this with minimal modification, you must remove
kthread_stop() and change the code to wait until the self-exit operation
is completed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: protect path kfree() with damon_sysfs_lock
damon_sysfs_quot_goal->path can be read and written by users, via DAMON
sysfs 'path' file. It can also be indirectly read, for the parameters
{on,off}line committing to DAMON. The reads for parameters committing are
protected by damon_sysfs_lock to avoid the sysfs files being destroyed
while any of the parameters are being read. But the user-driven direct
reads and writes are not protected by any lock, while the write is
deallocating the path-pointing buffer. As a result, the readers could
read the already freed buffer (user-after-free). Note that the user-reads
don't race when the same open file is used by the writer, due to kernfs's
open file locking. Nonetheless, doing the reads and writes with separate
open files would be common. Fix it by protecting both the user-direct
reads and writes with damon_sysfs_lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Prevent kernel stack memory leak to userspace
The hdr variable is allocated on the stack and only hdr.version and
hdr.flags are initialized explicitly. Because the struct papr_hvpipe_hdr
contains reserved padding bytes (reserved[3] and reserved2[40]), these
could leak the uninitialized bytes to userspace after copy_to_user().
This patch fixes that by initializing the whole struct to 0. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx4: Fix mis-use of RCU in mlx4_srq_event()
Sashiko points out the radix_tree itself is RCU safe, but nothing ever
frees the mlx4_srq struct with RCU, and it isn't even accessed within the
RCU critical section. It also will crash if an event is delivered before
the srq object is finished initializing.
Use the spinlock since it isn't easy to make RCU work, use
refcount_inc_not_zero() to protect against partially initialized objects,
and order the refcount_set() to be after the srq is fully initialized. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential use-after-free issue when stopping watchdog task
Watchdog task might end between send_sig() and kthread_stop() calls, what
results in the use-after-free issue. Fix this by increasing watchdog task
reference count before calling send_sig() and dropping it by switching to
kthread_stop_put(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: Don't allow pointer operations on unconfigured streams
When reporting the pointer for a compressed stream we report the current
I/O frame position by dividing the position by the number of channels
multiplied by the number of container bytes. These values default to 0 and
are only configured as part of setting the stream parameters so this allows
a divide by zero to be configured. Validate that they are non zero,
returning an error if not |

x86/CPU/AMD: Prevent improper isolation of shared resources in Zen2's op cache
Make sure resources are not improperly shared in the op cache and
cause instruction corruption this way. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exit: prevent preemption of oopsing TASK_DEAD task
When an already-exiting task oopses, make_task_dead() currently calls
do_task_dead() with preemption enabled. That is forbidden:
do_task_dead() calls __schedule(), which has a comment saying "WARNING:
must be called with preemption disabled!".
If an oopsing task is preempted in do_task_dead(), between becoming
TASK_DEAD and entering the scheduler explicitly, bad things happen:
finish_task_switch() assumes that once the scheduler has switched away
from a TASK_DEAD task, the task can never run again and its stack is no
longer needed; but that assumption apparently doesn't hold if the dead
task was preempted (the SM_PREEMPT case).
This means that the scheduler ends up repeatedly dropping references on
the dead task's stack, which can lead to use-after-free or double-free
of the entire task stack; in other words, two tasks can end up running
on the same stack, resulting in various kinds of memory corruption.
(This does not just affect "recursively oopsing" tasks; it is enough to
oops once during task exit, for example in a file_operations::release
handler) |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: kvm: fix vector context allocation leak
When the second kzalloc (host_context.vector.datap) fails in
kvm_riscv_vcpu_alloc_vector_context, the first allocation
(guest_context.vector.datap) is leaked. Free it before returning. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR rtx: free sk if last
When an ADD_ADDR is retransmitted, the sk is held in sk_reset_timer(),
and released at the end.
If at that moment, it was the last reference being held, the sk would
not be freed. sock_put() should then be called instead of __sock_put().
But that's not enough: if it is the last reference, sock_put() will call
sk_free(), which will end up calling sk_stop_timer_sync() on the same
timer, and waiting indefinitely to finish. So it is needed to mark that
the timer is done at the end of the timer handler when it has not been
rescheduled, not to call sk_stop_timer_sync() on "itself". |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix scheduling with atomic in timestamp sockopt
Using lock_sock_fast() (atomic context) around sock_set_timestamp()
and sock_set_timestamping() is unsafe, as both helpers can sleep.
Replace lock_sock_fast() with sleepable lock_sock()/release_sock()
to avoid scheduling while atomic panic. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: usblp: fix uninitialized heap leak via LPGETSTATUS ioctl
Just like in a previous problem in this driver, usblp_ctrl_msg() will
collapse the usb_control_msg() return value to 0/-errno, discarding the
actual number of bytes transferred.
Ideally that short command should be detected and error out, but many
printers are known to send "incorrect" responses back so we can't just
do that.
statusbuf is kmalloc(8) at probe time and never filled before the first
LPGETSTATUS ioctl.
usblp_read_status() requests 1 byte. If a malicious printer responds
with zero bytes, *statusbuf is one byte of stale kmalloc heap,
sign-extended into the local int status, which the LPGETSTATUS path then
copy_to_user()s directly to the ioctl caller.
Fix this all by just zapping out the memory buffer when allocated at
probe time. If a later call does a short read, the data will be
identical to what the device sent it the last time, so there is no
"leak" of information happening. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: use safe list iteration in radar detect work
The call to ieee80211_dfs_cac_cancel can cause the iterated chanctx to
be freed and removed from the list. Guard against this to avoid a
slab-use-after-free error. |
