| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: spinand: fix NULL pointer dereference with no ECC engine
When "nand-no-ecc-engine" is set in DT, nanddev_get_ecc_engine() takes
the NAND_ECC_ENGINE_TYPE_NONE path and returns success while leaving
nand->ecc.engine NULL. The SPI-NAND code nevertheless dereferences it
unconditionally to test for a pipelined engine, so probing such a
device oopses immediately.
Rather than open-coding the test three times, add a
nand_ecc_is_pipelined() helper to the NAND core that folds the NULL
check into the integration comparison, and use it everywhere. Future
callers then cannot reintroduce the problem. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Drop unnecessary PMD page copy when freeing
On a box with a discrete GPU, lockdep reports a possible deadlock as
soon as kswapd shrinks the TTM page pool. The immediate cause is an
x86 commit that added an mmap_read_lock() to kernel page protection
munging code.
The huge vmap code holds the same lock over a GFP_KERNEL allocation,
which is a no-no now that reclaim can take it. That allocation is in a
page table *free* path and ends up being for dubious purposes[1].
Basically, it tries to avoid hardware setting Accessed=1 in page table
entries that are unreachable by the hardware, a non-issue.
Remove the PMD copy. Detach the original PMD page at the PUD, flush
the mid-level caches, and free the PTE tables straight from the
detached PMD page. With no allocation left, the locking issue is gone.
Lockdep splat/analysis:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
7.3.0-rc3-f6e7b42bf05b+ #183 Tainted: G U
------------------------------------------------------
kswapd0/269 is trying to acquire lock:
((init_mm).mmap_lock){++++}-{4:4}, at: change_page_attr_set_clr+0x29a/0x4a0
but task is already holding lock:

Chain exists of:
(init_mm).mmap_lock --> fs_reclaim --> pool_shrink_rwsem
The cycle is built from three edges:
1) pool_shrink_rwsem -> (init_mm).mmap_lock
The TTM shrinker restores the caching attribute of every page it
frees, while holding pool_shrink_rwsem:
ttm_pool_shrink()
-> ttm_pool_dispose_list()
-> ttm_pool_free_page()
-> set_pages_wb()
-> change_page_attr_set_clr() [ init_mm mmap read lock ]
2) fs_reclaim -> pool_shrink_rwsem
The same shrinker, called from reclaim.
3) (init_mm).mmap_lock -> fs_reclaim
ioremap() installing a huge PUD mapping over an existing PMD table:
ioremap_page_range()

-> pud_free_pmd_page()
-> __get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL) [ enters reclaim ]

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: xilinx: fix runtime PM leak on request error path
pm_runtime_get_sync() leaves the usage counter incremented even when it
fails, and xgpio_request() returns the error without dropping it.
gpiolib does not call ->free() when ->request() fails, so xgpio_free(),
which holds the only matching pm_runtime_put(), never runs. The reference
is leaked and the controller can no longer runtime-suspend, so its clock
stays enabled.
Switch to pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which only increments the usage
counter on success. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: do not warn on route notification size race
fib6_info_hw_flags_set() sizes the skb with rt6_nlmsg_size() and later
fills it with rt6_fill_node(). With nexthop compatibility mode enabled,
a concurrent replacement can grow the group between these independent
snapshots. rt6_fill_node() can then legitimately return -EMSGSIZE, so
the warning does not prove a sizing bug.
Remove the warning. The existing error path still frees the skb and
reports the error to listeners. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: stop route notification sizing when nexthop group shrinks
Commit 680aea08e78c ("net: ipv4: Emit notification when fib
hardware flags are changed") added an RCU-only fib_nlmsg_size() call
for asynchronous hardware flag notifications.
fib_nlmsg_size() checks fib_info_num_path() before each iteration,
then fib_info_nhc() independently reloads nh->nh_grp. If
RTM_NEWNEXTHOP replaces a group with fewer paths between those loads,
fib_info_nhc() returns NULL and fib_nexthop_nlmsg_size() dereferences
it.
Stop sizing when the indexed path is absent. Nexthop groups are
dense, so the current snapshot has no later path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: stop PMTU walk when nexthop group shrinks
Commit 7d3f3b4367f3 ("net: ipv4: Cache pmtu for all packet paths if
multipath enabled") made __ip_rt_update_pmtu() update every path.
For nexthop objects, fib_info_num_path() and fib_info_nhc()
independently load nh->nh_grp. RCU protects each group's lifetime but
does not make the loads observe the same group. If replacement shrinks
the group after the loop accepts an index, fib_info_nhc() returns NULL
and update_or_create_fnhe() dereferences it.
A deterministic probe only widened the existing window between the real
operations. On v7.2, an RTM_NEWNEXTHOP replacement published a
one-member group after the PMTU reader accepted index 1 from a two-member
group, producing:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
RIP: update_or_create_fnhe+0x45/0x15b0
Stop when the indexed path is absent. Groups are dense, so no later
index exists in that snapshot. The same real-writer window completed
114,423 PMTU iterations without an oops with this check. A reproducer
is available on request.
Replacement requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the network namespace. Where
unprivileged user namespaces are permitted, a local user can obtain it
in a new user and network namespace. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Use active memslots for the per-vCPU MMIO cache
KVM tags the per-vCPU MMIO cache with a memslot generation so that a
memslot update invalidates cached MMIO information. Both the fill and
validation paths use kvm_memslots(), which unconditionally selects address
space 0, even when the vCPU is running in SMM and using address space 1.
Commit 56f17dd3fbc4 ("kvm: x86: fix stale mmio cache bug") added the
memslot generation to the cache key so that a memslot update could not
leave a stale entry valid. When commit 699023e23965 ("KVM: x86: add SMM
to the MMU role, support SMRAM address space") added the SMM address space,
these helpers were not converted to use the active memslots.
Consequently, an update to the SMM memslots can leave an entry from the old
SMM address space apparently valid after the vCPU returns to the normal
address space. A guest can then cause an access to valid RAM at the same
GFN to be returned to userspace as KVM_EXIT_MMIO.
Completing that exit through the VMM's RAM address space writes the backing
page without going through KVM's write-tracking path. If the page backs a
nested EPT table, KVM can continue using shadow translations derived from
the old contents. The WARN_ON_ONCE() in kvm_mmu_write_protect_fault()
catches this invalid cache and memslot combination.
Use the vCPU's active memslots when caching and validating the entry.
Memslot generations are unique across address spaces, so the generation
also distinguishes the normal and SMM views. This matches the MMIO SPTE
cache, which already uses kvm_vcpu_memslots().
On an unpatched current-mainline kernel, a regression test that fills the
cache in SMM and updates only the SMM memslots fails the intended RAM write
and triggers the kvm_mmu_write_protect_fault() warning. With this change,
the same test completes the RAM write without a warning. The x86/smm_test,
set_memory_region_test, and memslot_modification_stress_test selftests also
pass. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix heap out-of-bounds write in krb5_authenticate()
In krb5_authenticate(), out_len is calculated to determine available
headroom in response_buf for the incoming Kerberos AP-REP token. However,
when SMB2_SESSION_SETUP is processed as a non-first element of a compounded
SMB2 request, the calculation omits work->next_smb2_rsp_hdr_off.
This causes out_len to overstate remaining buffer headroom by
the cumulative size of prior responses in the compound chain. Consequently,
the length check in ksmbd_krb5_authenticate()
(*out_len <= resp->spnego_blob_len) passes erroneously, allowing memcpy()
to write the AP-REP blob past the end of response_buf into adjacent kernel
heap memory.
Fix this by subtracting work->next_smb2_rsp_hdr_off when computing out_len,
ensuring it accurately reflects physical remaining buffer space. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes
Commit 709f0f1f1bf5 ("ext4: add checks for large folio
incompatibilities when BS > PS") disables large folios at mount time
if the "encrypt" feature is set. However, enabling that feature on a
mounted filesystem circumvents that check, and writing encrypted data
results in a crash:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028
Workqueue: ext4-rsv-conversion ext4_end_io_rsv_work
RIP: 0010:ext4_finish_bio+0xf7/0x3e0
Call Trace:
ext4_release_io_end+0x51/0x110
ext4_end_io_end+0x4c/0xe0
ext4_end_io_rsv_work+0xb3/0x100
Fix this by disabling large folios on encrypted inodes, as is
already done for inodes that use data journaling.
This affects all kernels between v6.19 and v7.2, but it is not needed
in v7.3, where the code was significantly refactored. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Build the cid tables privately and publish them with RCU
The cid tables are visible to the cid kfuncs while being modified: the
first enable publishes the global pointers before filling them,
ops.init_cids() overrides rewrite them in place, and re-enables rebuild
them in place. A racing TRACING or SYSCALL program can read unfilled
entries, including uninitialized memory in the kmalloc'd tables, or torn
topo updates.
Tie the tables' lifetimes to the root sched instead: each root enable
builds a fresh set privately and publishes the per-table __rcu globals once
the layout is final, and root disable unpublishes and RCU-frees the set. A
non-NULL global is now always a fully built table which stays valid for the
reader's RCU read section, and lookups stay two loads. Kfuncs treat NULL as
no-mapping, also after the scheduler exits instead of reporting the stale
last mapping.
The cid kfuncs are available whether the root scheduler is cid-form or
cpu-form, the latter to allow gradual migration to cids. Every root
therefore builds and publishes a default mapping.
Every reader must either be gated on scheduler liveness or NULL-check
inside an RCU read section. Fix the two kfuncs that were neither:
scx_bpf_this_cid() read the table with no RCU or preemption protection and
scx_bpf_task_cid() relied on KF_RCU, which doesn't put a sleepable program
in an RCU read section. The hotplug callbacks are instead serialized by
retiring the tables inside the cpus_read_lock() section that clears
scx_root.
v2: Document why every root builds the tables (desc + cid.c comment). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_flower: Fix port range register leak in tmplt_create()
mlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() parses a flow_cls_offload template
into a stack-local struct mlxsw_sp_acl_rule_info purely to compute
rulei.values.elusage. Parsing can acquire port range registers via
mlxsw_sp_flower_parse_ports_range(), but since this rulei never goes
through mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy(), those registers were never
released, including through chain template deletion.
Factor out of mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy() the code to actually
release the necessary resources and call from
mlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() to plug the leak.
The issue was found during a review of Wentao Liang's patch referenced
below. |
