CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: propagate nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() errors to its callers
Currently, when nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() detects an out-of-bounds
PDU length or offset, it triggers nvmet_tcp_fatal_error(cmd->queue)
and returns early. However, because the function returns void, the
callers are entirely unaware that a fatal error has occurred and
that the cmd->recv_msg.msg_iter was left uninitialized.
Callers such as nvmet_tcp_handle_h2c_data_pdu() proceed to blindly
overwrite the queue state with queue->rcv_state = NVMET_TCP_RECV_DATA
Consequently, the socket receiving loop may attempt to read incoming
network data into the uninitialized iterator.
Fix this by shifting the error handling responsibility to the callers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsnotify: fix inode reference leak in fsnotify_recalc_mask()
fsnotify_recalc_mask() fails to handle the return value of
__fsnotify_recalc_mask(), which may return an inode pointer that needs
to be released via fsnotify_drop_object() when the connector's HAS_IREF
flag transitions from set to cleared.
This manifests as a hung task with the following call trace:
INFO: task umount:1234 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Fix this by deferring the transition true -> false of HAS_IREF flag from

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: usbhid: fix deadlock in hid_post_reset()
You can build a USB device that includes a HID component
and a storage or UAS component. The components can be reset
only together. That means that hid_pre_reset() and hid_post_reset()
are in the block IO error handling. Hence no memory allocation
used in them may do block IO because the IO can deadlock
on the mutex held while resetting a device and calling the
interface drivers.
Use GFP_NOIO for all allocations in them. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima_fs: Correctly create securityfs files for unsupported hash algos
ima_tpm_chip->allocated_banks[i].crypto_id is initialized to
HASH_ALGO__LAST if the TPM algorithm is not supported. However there
are places relying on the algorithm to be valid because it is accessed
by hash_algo_name[].

Seems like the TPM chip supports sha3_256, which isn't yet in
tpm_algorithms:
tpm tpm0: TPM with unsupported bank algorithm 0x0027
That's TPM_ALG_SHA3_256 == 0x0027 from "Trusted Platform Module 2.0

See also the related U-Boot algorithms update [2].
Thus solve the problem by creating a file name with "_tpm_alg_<ID>"

[CAUSE]
ocfs2_group_add() calls ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate() on a
user-controlled group block before ocfs2_verify_group_and_input()
validates that block number. That helper is only valid for newly
allocated metadata and asserts that the block is not already present in
the chosen metadata cache. The code also uses INODE_CACHE(inode) even
though the group descriptor belongs to main_bm_inode and later journal
accesses use that cache context instead.
[FIX]
Validate the on-disk group descriptor before caching it, then add it to
the metadata cache tracked by INODE_CACHE(main_bm_inode). Keep the
validation failure path separate from the later cleanup path so we only
remove the buffer from that cache after it has actually been inserted.
This keeps the group buffer lifetime consistent across validation,
journaling, and cleanup. |

fs/ntfs3: prevent uninitialized lcn caused by zero len
syzbot reported a uninit-value in ntfs_iomap_begin [1].
Since runs was not touched yet, run_lookup_entry() immediately fails
and returns false, which makes the value of "*len" 0.
Simultaneously, the new value and err value are also 0, causing the
logic in attr_data_get_block_locked() to jump directly to ok, ultimately
resulting in *lcn being triggered before it is set [1].
In ntfs_iomap_begin(), the check for a 0 value in clen is moved forward
to before updating lcn to avoid this [1].

bpf: Fix NULL deref in map_kptr_match_type for scalar regs
Commit ab6c637ad027 ("bpf: Fix a bpf_kptr_xchg() issue with local
kptr") refactored map_kptr_match_type() to branch on btf_is_kernel()
before checking base_type(). A scalar register stored into a kptr
slot has no btf, so the btf_is_kernel(reg->btf) call dereferences
NULL.
Move the base_type() != PTR_TO_BTF_ID guard before any reg->btf
access. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nat: use kfree_rcu to release ops
Florian Westphal says:
"Historically this is not an issue, even for normal base hooks: the data
path doesn't use the original nf_hook_ops that are used to register the
callbacks.
However, in v5.14 I added the ability to dump the active netfilter
hooks from userspace.
This code will peek back into the nf_hook_ops that are available
at the tail of the pointer-array blob used by the datapath.
The nat hooks are special, because they are called indirectly from
the central nat dispatcher hook. They are currently invisible to
the nfnl hook dump subsystem though.
But once that changes the nat ops structures have to be deferred too."
Update nf_nat_register_fn() to deal with partial exposition of the hooks
from error path which can be also an issue for nfnetlink_hook. |

NFSD: fix nfs4_file access extra count in nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg
In nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg, if fp->fi_fds[O_RDONLY] is already
set by another thread, __nfs4_file_get_access should not be called
to increment the nfs4_file access count since that was already done
by the thread that added READ access to the file. The extra fi_access
count in nfs4_file can prevent the corresponding nfsd_file from being
freed.
When stopping nfs-server service, these extra access counts trigger a
BUG in kmem_cache_destroy() that shows nfsd_file object remaining on
__kmem_cache_shutdown.
This problem can be reproduced by running the Git project's test
suite over NFS. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp - copy IV using skcipher ivsize
AF_ALG rfc3686-ctr-aes-ccp requests pass an 8-byte IV to the driver.
ccp_aes_complete() restores AES_BLOCK_SIZE bytes into the caller's IV
buffer while RFC3686 skciphers expose an 8-byte IV, so the restore
overruns the provided buffer.
Use crypto_skcipher_ivsize() to copy only the algorithm's IV length. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pppoe: drop PFC frames
RFC 2516 Section 7 states that Protocol Field Compression (PFC) is NOT
RECOMMENDED for PPPoE. In practice, pppd does not support negotiating
PFC for PPPoE sessions, and the current PPPoE driver assumes an
uncompressed (2-byte) protocol field. However, the generic PPP layer
function ppp_input() is not aware of the negotiation result, and still
accepts PFC frames.
If a peer with a broken implementation or an attacker sends a frame with
a compressed (1-byte) protocol field, the subsequent PPP payload is
shifted by one byte. This causes the network header to be 4-byte
misaligned, which may trigger unaligned access exceptions on some
architectures.
To reduce the attack surface, drop PPPoE PFC frames. Introduce
ppp_skb_is_compressed_proto() helper function to be used in both
ppp_generic.c and pppoe.c to avoid open-coding. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Drop all SCM attributes for SOCKMAP.
SOCKMAP can hide inflight fd from AF_UNIX GC.
When a socket in SOCKMAP receives skb with inflight fd,
sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() looks up the mapped socket and
enqueue skb to its psock->ingress_skb.
Since neither the old nor the new GC can inspect the psock
queue, the hidden skb leaks the inflight sockets. Note that
this cannot be detected via kmemleak because inflight sockets
are linked to a global list.
In addition, SOCKMAP redirect breaks the Tarjan-based GC's
assumption that unix_edge.successor is always alive, which
is no longer true once skb is redirected, resulting in
use-after-free below. [0]
Moreover, SOCKMAP does not call scm_stat_del() properly,
so unix_show_fdinfo() could report an incorrect fd count.
sk_msg_recvmsg() does not support any SCM attributes in the
first place.
Let's drop all SCM attributes before passing skb to the
SOCKMAP layer.

ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb2_open during durable reconnect
In smb2_open, the call to ksmbd_put_durable_fd(fp) drops the reference
to the durable file descriptor early during the durable reconnect
process. If an error occurs subsequently (eg, ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp fails)
or a scavenger accesses the file, it leads to a use-after-free when
accessing fp properties (eg fp->create_time).
Move the single put to the end of the function below err_out2 so fp
stays valid until smb2_open returns. |

net/sched: taprio: fix use-after-free in advance_sched() on schedule switch
In advance_sched(), when should_change_schedules() returns true,
switch_schedules() is called to promote the admin schedule to oper.
switch_schedules() queues the old oper schedule for RCU freeing via
call_rcu(), but 'next' still points into an entry of the old oper
schedule. The subsequent 'next->end_time = end_time' and
rcu_assign_pointer(q->current_entry, next) are use-after-free.
Fix this by selecting 'next' from the new oper schedule immediately
after switch_schedules(), and using its pre-calculated end_time.
setup_first_end_time() sets the first entry's end_time to
base_time + interval when the schedule is installed, so the value
is already correct.
The deleted 'end_time = sched_base_time(admin)' assignment was also
harmful independently: it would overwrite the new first entry's
pre-calculated end_time with just base_time. |

remaining bytes in the endpoint-extra scan.

extends past the remaining endpoint-extra scan. |

sched/psi: fix race between file release and pressure write
A potential race condition exists between pressure write and cgroup file
release regarding the priv member of struct kernfs_open_file, which
triggers the uaf reported in [1].
Consider the following scenario involving execution on two separate CPUs:
CPU0 CPU1
==== ====
vfs_rmdir()
kernfs_iop_rmdir()
cgroup_rmdir()
cgroup_kn_lock_live()
cgroup_destroy_locked()
cgroup_addrm_files()
cgroup_rm_file()
kernfs_remove_by_name()
kernfs_remove_by_name_ns()
vfs_write() __kernfs_remove()
new_sync_write() kernfs_drain()
kernfs_fop_write_iter() kernfs_drain_open_files()
cgroup_file_write() kernfs_release_file()
pressure_write() cgroup_file_release()
ctx = of->priv;
kfree(ctx);
of->priv = NULL;
cgroup_kn_unlock()
cgroup_kn_lock_live()
cgroup_get(cgrp)
cgroup_kn_unlock()
if (ctx->psi.trigger) // here, trigger uaf for ctx, that is of->priv
The cgroup_rmdir() is protected by the cgroup_mutex, it also safeguards
the memory deallocation of of->priv performed within cgroup_file_release().
However, the operations involving of->priv executed within pressure_write()
are not entirely covered by the protection of cgroup_mutex. Consequently,
if the code in pressure_write(), specifically the section handling the
ctx variable executes after cgroup_file_release() has completed, a uaf
vulnerability involving of->priv is triggered.
Therefore, the issue can be resolved by extending the scope of the
cgroup_mutex lock within pressure_write() to encompass all code paths
involving of->priv, thereby properly synchronizing the race condition
occurring between cgroup_file_release() and pressure_write().
And, if an live kn lock can be successfully acquired while executing
the pressure write operation, it indicates that the cgroup deletion
process has not yet reached its final stage; consequently, the priv
pointer within open_file cannot be NULL. Therefore, the operation to
retrieve the ctx value must be moved to a point *after* the live kn
lock has been successfully acquired.
In another situation, specifically after entering cgroup_kn_lock_live()
but before acquiring cgroup_mutex, there exists a different class of
race condition:
CPU0: write memory.pressure CPU1: write cgroup.pressure=0
=========================== =============================
kernfs_fop_write_iter()
kernfs_get_active_of(of)
pressure_write()
cgroup_kn_lock_live(memory.pressure)
cgroup_tryget(cgrp)
kernfs_break_active_protection(kn)
... blocks on cgroup_mutex
cgroup_pressure_write()
cgroup_kn_lock_live(cgroup.pressure)
cgroup_file_show(memory.pressure, false)
kernfs_show(false)
kernfs_drain_open_files()
cgroup_file_release(of)
kfree(ctx)
of->priv = NULL
cgroup_kn_unlock()
... acquires cgroup_mutex
ctx = of->priv; // may now be NULL
if (ctx->psi.trigger) // NULL dereference
Consequently, there is a possibility that of->priv is NULL, the pressure
write needs to check for this.
Now that the scope of the cgroup_mutex has been expanded, the original
explicit cgroup_get/put operations are no longer necessary, this is
because acquiring/releasing the live kn lock inherently executes a
cgroup get/put operation.

ksmbd: fix durable fd leak on ClientGUID mismatch in durable v2 open
ksmbd_lookup_fd_cguid() returns a ksmbd_file with its refcount
incremented via ksmbd_fp_get(). parse_durable_handle_context() in
the DURABLE_REQ_V2 case properly releases this reference on every
path inside the ClientGUID-match branch, either by calling
ksmbd_put_durable_fd() or by transferring ownership to dh_info->fp
for a successful reconnect. However, when an entry exists in the
global file table with the same CreateGuid but a different
ClientGUID, the code simply falls through to the new-open path
without dropping the reference obtained from ksmbd_lookup_fd_cguid().
Per MS-SMB2 section 3.3.5.9.10 ("Handling the
SMB2_CREATE_DURABLE_HANDLE_REQUEST_V2 Create Context"), the server
MUST locate an Open whose Open.CreateGuid matches the request's
CreateGuid AND whose Open.ClientGuid matches the ClientGuid of the
connection that received the request. If no such Open is found, the
server MUST continue with the normal open execution phase. A
CreateGuid hit with a ClientGUID mismatch is therefore the
"Open not found" case: proceeding with a new open is correct, but
the reference obtained purely as a side effect of the lookup must
not be leaked.
Repeated requests that hit this mismatch pin global_ft entries,
prevent __ksmbd_close_fd() from ever running for the corresponding
files, and defeat the durable scavenger, leading to long-lived
resource leaks.
Release the reference in the mismatch path and clear dh_info->fp so
subsequent logic does not mistake a non-matching lookup result for
a reconnect target. |

netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix potential NULL dereference in ttl check
The nf_osf_ttl() function accessed skb->dev to perform a local interface
address lookup without verifying that the device pointer was valid.
Additionally, the implementation utilized an in_dev_for_each_ifa_rcu
loop to match the packet source address against local interface
addresses. It assumed that packets from the same subnet should not see a
decrement on the initial TTL. A packet might appear it is from the same
subnet but it actually isn't especially in modern environments with
containers and virtual switching.
Remove the device dereference and interface loop. Replace the logic with
a switch statement that evaluates the TTL according to the ttl_check. |
