| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-auth: fix out-of-bounds write in nvmet_auth_challenge()
nvmet_auth_challenge() receives its output buffer as a void pointer.
sizeof(*d) therefore evaluates to one with GCC and undercounts the fixed
challenge header by 15 bytes. A short AUTH_RECEIVE buffer can pass the
check before the challenge is copied past the end of its allocation.
Use the typed challenge pointer when calculating the response size.

The erase size is parsed from the "block2mtd" module parameter and can
be set to zero. add_device() then evaluates
if (size % erase_size)

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: rawnand: cadence: Initialize IRQ state before requesting IRQ
The Cadence NAND interrupt handler uses both the IRQ lock and completion

which a pending interrupt can access uninitialized synchronization state.
Initialize them before registering the handler. |

KVM: x86/mmu: Bail from shadow walks if the root is invalid or a dummy
When walking shadow page tables, immediately terminate the walk if the root
is a "dummy" root, i.e. a root whose top-level page table is backed by the
zero page, but otherwise doesn't exist. If memslot creation races with a
stage-2 page fault (EPT violation or #NPF) from L2, then if the stars align,
KVM will attempt to walk shadow page tables using the zero page and hit a
NULL pointer deref.

Opportunistically harden the shadow walks against fully invalid roots, but
WARN, as all callers are expected/required to pre-check for a valid root.
Don't WARN in the dummy root case as the whole point of using a dummy root
is to provide a root that's valid enough to enter the guest, i.e. it should
Just Work for all flows except those that *need* to know about dummy roots.
Alternatively, KVM could allocate a dedicated page and associated shadow
page structure for the dummy root, which is very tempting as it such an
approach should be more resilient against unexpected behavior. But that
would be a much larger and thus riskier change than simply terminating
walks of dummy roots. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Use the active VMCB's MSR bitmap when checking if MSR is intercepted
Use the MSR permission bitmap of the active VMCB instead of assuming that
KVM is always using vmcb02's bitmap when L2 is active, as KVM uses msrpm02
if and only if L1 wants to intercept MSR accesses, i.e. if and only if KVM
needs to merge msprm01 with msrpm12.
Don't bother tracking the virtual address of the bitmap that's being used,
as __va() is cheap on x86, and caching the virtual address would introduce
yet another source of potentially stale information. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cw1200: fix TX padding OOB read leaking heap data to device
The TX path rounds the transfer size up to the bus alignment
(align_size(), up to 511 bytes for SDIO, 1 byte for SPI) but sends
the padded length straight from the frame buffer, which has no room
reserved for the padding. cw1200_data_write() therefore reads past
the end of the frame and the bus transfer carries those bytes to the
device. A bogus device can collect up to 511 bytes of kernel heap
data per TX frame.
The RX path does not have this problem: it allocates the skb with
the aligned length (alloc_len) before reading.
Compute the exact padding with the bus align_size() callback, make
sure queued TX frames have tailroom for it, and zero the padding
bytes before the transfer so nothing past the frame is exposed.
This is not expected to change driver behavior on most cases: frame
contents and transfer sizes are unchanged, only the content of the
padding bytes (previously undefined stale memory, now zero), which
the device never reads since the WSM header carries the real frame
length. The skb expansion can only fail under memory exhaustion,
in which case the frame is dropped like on the existing error paths
of cw1200_tx().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove
il3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init(), which allocates memory for
the EEPROM data. The probe failure paths release this allocation with
il_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a
successful probe.
As a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed.
Free the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the
mac80211 hardware structure.
This issue was found by manual code inspection. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: keep paired old chanctx alive
An in-place replacement keeps reciprocal replace_ctx pointers between
the old WILL_BE_REPLACED chanctx and the new REPLACES_OTHER chanctx.
However, the early free paths only consider assigned and reserved link
users when deciding whether to free the old chanctx.
That lets the old chanctx be freed too early while the replacement
partner still points back to it, either when the last assigned link is
released or when that link successfully reassigns to another existing
context. Later unreserve and switch-finalization paths can then follow a
stale replace_ctx pointer.
Keep a paired old chanctx alive until the replacement pair has been torn
down. Apply the same check to both __ieee80211_link_release_channel()
and ieee80211_link_use_reserved_reassign(). If the replacement is later
abandoned, ieee80211_link_unreserve_chanctx() already tears down the
pairing before freeing the old chanctx once no users remain. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: shut down RX BA session timer on teardown
Tearing down an RX BA session can leave the session timer queued on a
freed tid_rx. Later timer-wheel processing and the timer callback itself
then run against freed memory.
An RX BAR handler can dereference tid_rx under RCU before teardown
unpublishes it and stay in its read-side critical section while teardown
deletes the session timer. The stale handler can then rearm the timer
after timer_delete_sync() returns and before the RCU callback frees
tid_rx.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() so rearm attempts become ineffective once
teardown starts. Keep reorder_timer unchanged: teardown marks the session
removed under reorder_lock and its release path checks that state before
rearming. session_timer has no equivalent guard because
ieee80211_rx_h_ctrl() rearms it before taking reorder_lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: drain PS delivery work during station teardown
Removing an AP or mesh station can notify the driver and wake TXQs after
the station has already been removed from the driver, and can update
num_sta_ps and the power-save queues after station cleanup has purged
them.
sta_deliver_ps_frames() tests sta->dead only before it starts delivery. A
worker that passes that test can be delayed while teardown sets sta->dead
and removes the station from the driver; when it resumes it still runs the
full delivery.
The existing cancel_work_sync() sits near the end of
__cleanup_single_sta(), after the final driver state transition and after
PS accounting and queue purging, so it drains the worker only once the
state it has to protect has already changed. Before commit d34ba2168a3c
("mac80211: don't delay station destruction") cleanup was deferred
through the same ordered workqueue as the delivery work, which kept the
two ordered.
Cancel the work after setting sta->dead and before moving the driver
state, and move the existing cancellation to the start of
__cleanup_single_sta(). The first drain closes the driver-lifetime window;
driver callbacks during the remaining state transitions can still queue
drv_deliver_wk through ieee80211_sta_block_awake(), so retain the second
drain at the start of __cleanup_single_sta(). That drain also covers
insertion failures, which reach cleanup without setting sta->dead. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: fix driver deregistration order
USB serial driver modules register one driver for the USB bus and one or
more drivers for the ports on the USB serial bus.
When unloading a driver module, the USB driver must be deregistered
before the USB serial bus drivers so that I/O is stopped before
unbinding the ports to avoid use-after-free in completion handlers
accessing port data.
Note that the "new_id" attributes must first be removed to prevent new
ids from being added and triggering a probe of the USB driver after it
has been deregistered. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: light: gp2ap020a00f: drain irq_work after free_irq
The threaded IRQ handler queues data->work through irq_work_queue() so
the trigger is polled from a per-CPU context. free_irq() does not flush
an irq_work the handler already queued, so after gp2ap020a00f_remove()
returns that work may still run and call iio_trigger_poll() on data->trig,
which the devm cleanup has already freed, causing a use-after-free.
Add irq_work_sync(&data->work) after free_irq() in remove() and in the
probe error path, mirroring commit 78601726d4a5 ("iio: trigger: sysfs:
fix use-after-free on remove").
Found by an in-house static analysis tool, confirmed by manual review. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: prevent collapsing skbs across boundary in rtx queue
tcp_write_collapse_fence() sets TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->eor = 1 on
tcp_write_queue_tail(sk) to prevent skbs queued after a switch to
device encryption from being collapsed into earlier skbs.
The fence is a no-op if all earlier data has already been transmitted
when the switch happens: sk->sk_write_queue is empty. The not yet
acknowledged earlier skbs wait in sk->tcp_rtx_queue with eor 0.
On a subsequent retransmit or SACK shift, tcp_retrans_try_collapse() or
tcp_shift_skb_data() can then merge an skb queued after the switch into
one queued before it.
Both users of the fence are affected:
- psp: devices only encrypt skbs with skb->decrypted set. The merged skb
keeps decrypted = 0 from the earlier skb, so merged data sent after
psp_sock_assoc_set_tx() is retransmitted in cleartext.
- tls device offload: the merged skb straddles the start marker set in
tls_set_device_offload(). The software fallback (fill_sg_in() returns
-EINVAL) and the mlx5, nfp and funeth drivers cannot handle such an
skb and drop it. Every retransmit rebuilds the same skb, so the
connection stalls.
Fix this in two places, for defense in depth:
1. Fall back to tcp_rtx_queue_tail(sk) in tcp_write_collapse_fence()
when tcp_write_queue_tail(sk) is NULL.
2. Check !skb_cmp_decrypted(to, from) in tcp_skb_can_collapse(), as
tcp_skb_can_collapse_rx() does on receive. skb_shift(), which both
collapse paths call, already has a DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() for this
condition. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bna: prevent IOC timer rearm during teardown
bna: prevent IOC timer rearm during teardown
bnad_pci_remove() and the probe disable_ioceth path call
timer_delete_sync() for ioc_timer, sem_timer and hb_timer, but not for
iocpf_timer. bnad_iocpf_timeout() then takes bnad->bna_lock after
free_netdev() has freed the struct bnad.
Deleting iocpf_timer last does not fix this. sem_timer and
iocpf_timer rearm each other: bnad_iocpf_sem_timeout() can arm
iocpf_timer, and bnad_iocpf_timeout() arms sem_timer from
bfa_ioc_hw_sem_get() when the semaphore is busy.
timer_delete_sync() only waits out its own callback.
bnad_ioceth_disable() can time out and leave that callback live.
Shut all four IOC timers down with timer_shutdown_sync() on both
paths, so a later mod_timer() is ignored.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code. |

drm/nouveau/uvmm: fix UAF in nouveau_uvmm_sm when BO is in TTM_PL_SYSTEM
nouveau_uvmm_sm() calls op_map(), which passes bo->resource through
nouveau_mem() to nouveau_uvma_map(). nouveau_uvmm_vmm_map() then reads
mem->mem.type.
But this is only valid when bo->resource is backed by struct nouveau_mem,
as is the case for VRAM and TT resources. If the BO is left in
TTM_PL_SYSTEM, bo->resource is only a struct ttm_resource. Treating it
as struct nouveau_mem makes the mem->mem.type read past the end of the
resource, causing a KASAN: slab-use-after-free Read in nouveau_uvmm_sm

After analyzing the vmcore, we found the anon_vma->root->rwsem.count is
-1. There is another anon_vma whose anon_vma->root->rwsem.count is 1, the
anon_vma->root->rwsem.owner shows the lock is held, but the stack of the
task shows the task doesn't hold the anon_vma lock.
After adding more debugging info, we found __anon_vma_prepare() reuses
anon_vma and triggers the UAF of anon_vma->root due to missing memory
barrier, leading to locking and unlocking two different anon_vma->root,
thus leading to an anon_vma will never be unlocked, and another anon_vma
couldn't be locked anymore.
This race requires two adjacent VMAs that are not merged but are
anon_vma-compatible (e.g., they differ in VMA_ACCESS_FLAGS that can be
changed by mprotect()). Two threads fault on each VMA concurrently, both
calling __anon_vma_prepare() with only mmap_lock held for reading.

anon_vma_unlock_write(anon_vma);
// see the new root, never unlock old
up_write(&anon_vma->root->rwsem);
thread A triggers page fault and calls __anon_vma_prepare() to prepare
anon_vma for the faulting vma. __anon_vma_prepare() allocates and
initializes a new anon_vma, and then publishes it to the vma with a plain
store. anon_vma_prepare() only requires the mmap_lock to be held for
reading, so two threads can fault on adjacent VMAs at the same time.
While thread A publishes a new anon_vma, thread B could find the anon_vma
via find_mergeable_anon_vma() and then locks anon_vma->root->rwsem.
The store to anon_vma->root in anon_vma_alloc() and the store to
vma->anon_vma can be reordered. The anon_vma_lock_write() and spin_lock()
only provide acquire semantics, which do not prevent prior stores from
being reordered after them. The release semantics of the corresponding
spin_unlock() and anon_vma_unlock_write() come too late, the store to
vma->anon_vma is already published before they take effect. As a result,
thread B can observe the following order:
vma->anon_vma = anon_vma;
anon_vma->root = anon_vma;
The anon_vma slab is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so a newly allocated anon_vma
may reuse memory from a previously freed one. The constructor
(anon_vma_ctor) does not reset anon_vma->root, and __put_anon_vma()
doesn't clear it either, so the old root value persists until
anon_vma_alloc() overwrites it. If that store isn't v

mm/damon/vaddr: avoid hw-driven pte updates during damon_hugetlb_mkold()
damon_hugetlb_mkold() reads the page table entry into a local variable,
unsets the accessed bit in the variable, and updates the page table entry
with the updated variable value. If hardware updates the same page table
entry in parallel, the hw updates could be lost. For example,
hardware-updated dirty bits might be lost.
Avoid the parallel updates by clearing the page table entry when reading
it together, using huge_ptep_get_and_clear(). If a parallel write to the
memory is made after the clearing, the hw will see the page table entry is
cleared, trigger page fault and wait until it is handled. The page fault
handling will wait for damon_hugetlb_mkold() due to the page table lock.
Because hugetlbfs is an in-memory file system and hugetlb pages cannot be
reclaimed, no critical issue is expected to my best knowledge. But
definitely this is a nasty bug that should be fixed sooner rather than
later.

only iterates hdev->inputs, so input2 is never unregistered and leaks
on every device removal.
Add a .remove handler that stops the device first (preventing URB
callbacks from touching input2 during teardown) and then unregisters
input2. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipconfig: bound DHCP option construction
ic_dhcp_init_options() appends the hostname (option 12), vendor-class
(option 60) and client-ID (option 61) options into the fixed 312-byte
bootp_pkt.exten[] buffer. Only the client-ID branch checked the
remaining space; the hostname and vendor-class writes were unbounded.
A 64-byte hostname together with the maximum 252-byte dhcpclass=
identifier needs 18 + (2 + 64) + (2 + 252) = 338 of the 312 available
bytes even before the terminating END marker, so the vendor-class memcpy
runs past the end of exten[]. With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE this is
reported as a field-spanning write and, when the kernel is booted with
panic_on_warn=1, aborts boot with a panic.
Route the optional options through a common helper that makes sure the
option, its 2-byte header and the END marker all fit and drops an option
that would not. Configurations with short options keep sending exactly
the same bytes as before. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: conntrack: fix helper UAF due to extensions realloc
While calling the helpers, a raw pointer to the extensions area is
wired into expectations list:
-> nf_ct_helper()
-> helper->help()
-> nf_ct_expect_related_report()
-> nf_ct_expect_insert()
-> hlist_add_head_rcu(&exp->lnode, &master_help->expectations)
In case the connection is not confirmed yet, more extensions can be
added afterwards with *_ext_add() calls reallocating the extension
space and leaving the now invalid pointer in the expectations list
that is later accessed while removing the expectation.
Make sure that helpers are called at the end after all the other
extensions are already added.
Note that the helper rejection now leaves the mark and labels set,
but that's not different from how the NAT was handled before or how
the mark and the labels were handled on confirmation failure. And
there are no atomicity guarantees provided by the API anyway. |
