| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: mtpav: shut down output timer before card teardown
snd_mtpav_output_timer() rearms chip->timer while holding
chip->spinlock and accesses the card-private mtpav state.
snd_mtpav_free() currently takes the same lock and calls
timer_delete() when the timer is active. This only removes a
pending timer; it does not wait for a callback that is already
running and does not prevent the callback from rearming the timer.
A callback running on another CPU can therefore continue after
snd_mtpav_free() releases the lock and access the card-private
state while the card is being torn down. It can also rearm the
timer after timer_delete() has returned.
Call timer_shutdown_sync() without holding chip->spinlock. This
waits for any running callback to finish and prevents further
rearming before the card-private mtpav state is released. |

net: qlcnic: validate unified ROM sections before loading
The unified ROM parser reads directory, product, and data-descriptor fields
from the firmware file. Existing validation forms table and data ends with
unchecked additions and multiplications. Malformed values can wrap before
they are compared with the firmware size. The parser also dereferences
typed pointers at firmware-controlled offsets.
Valid descriptor extents alone are insufficient for the consumers. The
loader reads a fixed-size bootloader regardless of its declared size, the
version parser assumes a 17-byte tail, and a partial final firmware word is
read as a full u64. A truncated image can therefore make the driver read
beyond the firmware allocation during validation or loading.
Replace the pointer-returning parser with bounded range helpers. Validate
table entry sizes, descriptor indices, section ranges, the fixed
bootloader load length, and the version tail before exposing any section.
Read all file fields with unaligned little-endian accessors and assemble a
partial final word from only the bytes that remain. Apply the same range
checks to the legacy image before reading its fixed fields. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6mr: do not clone dst in ip6mr_cache_report()
IPv6 input attaches a non-refcounted (NOREF) dst to skbs under RCU.
When an ingress multicast packet misses MFC lookup,
ip6mr_cache_unresolved() places the skb onto the unresolved queue,
escaping the receive-side RCU grace period.
If the underlying route is deleted and freed, and the MFC queue is later
resolved with a wrong parent interface, ip6_mr_forward() invokes
ip6mr_cache_report(..., MRT6MSG_WRONGMIF), which executes
dst_clone(skb_dst(pkt)) on the freed dst entry, triggering a slab
use-after-free.
Report packets queued to mroute6_sk (a raw socket) and netlink
notifications do not require an attached dst entry.
Fix this by:
1. Removing dst_clone() in ip6mr_cache_report() and ensuring report skbs
do not hold a dst.
2. Dropping skb_dst before queuing unresolved skbs in
ip6mr_cache_unresolved(), matching the fact that multicast
forwarding resolves outgoing routes anew via ip6_route_output(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: fix 32-bit backlog wrap in gred, bfifo and plug enqueue
gred_enqueue(), bfifo_enqueue() and plug_enqueue() admit a packet when the
current backlog plus the packet length fits within the queue limit:
sch->qstats.backlog + qdisc_pkt_len(skb) <= sch->limit (gred default VQ)
gred_backlog+qdisc_pkt_len(skb) <= q->limit (gred configured VQ)
sch->qstats.backlog + qdisc_pkt_len(skb) <= sch->limit (bfifo)
sch->qstats.backlog + skb->len <= q->limit (plug)
sch->qstats.backlog and q->backlog are u32, and qdisc_pkt_len()/skb->len
are unsigned int, so all sums are computed in 32 bits and wrap at 2^32.
Once the true backlog exceeds 4 GiB the wrapped sum becomes small and
admission keeps succeeding, so the queue grows without bound and the kernel
can be driven to OOM.
Promote the sums to u64 so admission stops once the true backlog exceeds
the limit. The limit is u32, so the bounded queue stays below 2^32 and
the stored u32 backlog never wraps.
The bug can only be reproduced as root (albeit with ridiculous setup):
attach a gred (or bfifo/plug) qdisc with a limit near 4 GiB,
leaving the default VQ unconfigured (for gred), and drive >4 GiB of
queued traffic (e.g. via a size table / stab to inflate qdisc_pkt_len,
or sustained high-rate traffic). The u32 backlog+len sum wraps at 2^32,
admission keeps succeeding, and the queue grows unboundedly to OOM. |

net: bridge: arp/nd proxy: fix reading neigh ha
Currently neigh ha address is read directly, but that can result in
torn/partial reads if the neigh is being updated. Use neigh_ha_snapshot
to take a stable snapshot of the address. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: fix reading neigh ha
Currently arp/neigh_reduce read neigh ha directly which can lead to
partial reads while the neigh is being updated. Use neigh_ha_snapshot to
take a stable snapshot of the address similar to route_shortcircuit which
already does the right thing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.1: zero referring call lists before decoding
decode_cb_sequence_args() allocates csa_rclists with kmalloc_objs(), so
each referring_call_list starts uninitialized. decode_rc_list() assigns
rcl_refcalls only when rcl_nrefcalls is nonzero. A valid list with zero
referring calls therefore leaves the pointer uninitialized, and
nfs4_callback_sequence() later passes stale slab contents to kfree().
Allocate csa_rclists with kzalloc_objs() so every rcl_refcalls member is
NULL from the beginning, including valid empty referring call lists. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: account classifier filter allocations to memcg
Allocations in the tc classifier *_change() paths (filter objects,
per-CPU counters, and per-filter aux data) use plain GFP_KERNEL without
__GFP_ACCOUNT, allowing unprivileged users to pin kernel memory outside
memcg charging. The shared tcf_exts_init_ex() action array allocation in
cls_api.c was also uncharged; this patch closes it along with the
per-classifier filter-object/percpu/aux allocations that remain
unaccounted.
Add GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT to:
- the shared tcf_exts_init_ex() action array (cls_api.c), common to every
filter of every classifier (32 pointers, 256 bytes);
- the filter-object, per-CPU-counter, and per-filter aux allocations in
cls_basic, cls_bpf, cls_cgroup, cls_flow, cls_flower, cls_fw,
cls_matchall, cls_route and cls_u32;
- the u32_init_knode() replace-path knode allocation (cls_u32.c), which
allocates the same struct tc_u_knode + sel.keys on every replace of an
existing knode and was missed by the create-path-only conversion.
Also fix the cls_basic error path: basic_change() inserts fnew into the
IDR before allocating the per-CPU counter. If alloc_percpu() fails the
errout path kfree'd fnew without idr_remove, leaving a dangling pointer
in the IDR. With GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT the percpu alloc becomes failable
on demand (memcg at memory.max), making the dead path attacker-reachable
and burning the handle permanently. Add the idr_remove on the percpu
failure path, matching the basic_set_parms failure-path pattern.
Note: vega@nebusec.ai provided a poc for basic_cls, but it was easy to
extend to the other classifiers.
Conditions to recreate the bug:
- CONFIG_NET_SCHED, CONFIG_NET_CLS_* (the classifier being used),
CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT, CONFIG_MEMCG, CONFIG_USER_NS, CONFIG_NET_NS.
- Unprivileged user in a fresh user+network namespace (unshare -Urn),
or root with CAP_NET_ADMIN.
- Create a large number of tc filters (e.g. tc filter add dev lo
ingress ... <classifier> ...) while watching a memcg-limited cgroup:
system slab grows far faster than memory.current, pinning kernel
memory outside memcg charging. |

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Skip VMBus module cleanup for non-nested root partition
The VMBus module initialization function, hv_acpi_init(), currently
does nothing when running in the root partition and root is not nested
in another VM. But the initialization function reports success, so the
VMBus module is indeed loaded. VMBus functionality is not actually
needed, but the VMBus module must be loaded so that hv_vmbus_exists()
can answer correctly. Furthermore, the mshv_root dependency on the
VMBus module is needed as described in the commit message for
840b740a35bf ("mshv: Add conditional VMBus dependency").
Loading the VMBus module without actually initializing it causes
failures if the module should later be unloaded. The module unload code
tries to clean up things that were never initialized, resulting in
memory faults and a panic.
Fix this by having VMBus module exit function perform the same
check for non-nested root partition, and do nothing in such a
case, just like hv_acpi_init().
In the long run, the code that manages the Hyper-V provided SynIC
should be refactored to better coordinate the requirements of
root partition scenarios and normal VM scenarios, and to hopefully
remove the hv_vmbus_exists() dependnecy between mshv_root and
VMBus modules. Preventing the current unload failure scenario is
an expediency until such a refactoring is done. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: access chan->conn safely in get/setsockopt
Since commit b66774b48dd9 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix UAF in channel timeout by holding conn ref")
l2cap_chan::conn has held reference and remains non-NULL also after the
corresponding hci_conn is deleted. In this state accessing various
fields eg. hci_conn::hdev is invalid, which leads to KASAN crash in
l2cap_sock_setsockopt() access of conn->hcon->hdev.
Check l2cap_chan::conn.hcon corresponds to an alive hci_conn before
trying to use it in l2cap_sock.c. Hold l2cap_chan_lock() in
getsockopt/setsockopt to ensure it stays alive, and to avoid data races
in l2cap_chan fields. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: do not leak an hci_conn when a second LE connect is rejected
create_le_conn_complete() decides whether the failed connection is
still pending by comparing it against hci_lookup_le_connect(), which
returns the first LE connection in BT_CONNECT. That is the same
connection only while at most one is pending.
Two can be pending. Connections created on the passive scan path sit
in BT_CONNECT with HCI_CONN_SCANNING set and are invisible to
hci_lookup_le_connect() until hci_le_create_conn_sync() clears the
flag when their command is issued, so the -EBUSY guard in
hci_connect_le() does not prevent a second connection from being
queued while the first is still on the scan path. Whenever two
connections are in BT_CONNECT at once, the lookup may return one
connection while create_le_conn_complete() is reporting the failure
of the other; the early exit then drops the error and hci_conn_failed()
never runs on the connection that failed.
The controller also rejects a second HCI_OP_LE_CREATE_CONN issued
while another connection creation is still outstanding, per Core Spec
Vol 4, Part E. The spec calls for Command Disallowed there; the
bcm43438 observed here answers with an LMP/LL error code instead,
which bt_to_errno() maps to the -EPROTO (-71) in the log below.
The leaked connection stays in BT_CONNECT forever, and because
hci_connect_le() refuses to dial while hci_lookup_le_connect() finds
anything, every subsequent attempt to reach any peer fails with
-EBUSY and no command reaches the controller at all.
Seen on a bcm43438 with two BLE peers polled on the same interval
(state 5 is BT_CONNECT; both handles are UNSET ones, allocated from
the ida above HCI_CONN_HANDLE_MAX):
Bluetooth: hci1: Opcode 0x2013 failed: -71
# hcitool con
< LE 14:9C:EF:03:68:81 handle 3840 state 5 lm CENTRAL
< LE C4:D3:6A:8C:B5:38 handle 3841 state 5 lm CENTRAL
A btmon capture across the next ten minutes of connect attempts
contains no HCI_OP_LE_CREATE_CONN at all; outgoing LE connections
do not recover until the adapter is reset. With this change the same
scenario fails the rejected connection cleanly and further connects
to both peers go through.
Ask about the connection itself instead of about the device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: honor XDP_TX_METADATA in zero-copy path
The zero-copy path reads TX metadata whenever the UMEM has metadata space,
even if the descriptor does not set XDP_TX_METADATA. Pass descriptor
options through the metadata helpers and ignore metadata unless the option
is set.
This does not fix the existing per-WQE metadata handling for mlx5 MPWQEs.
Only the descriptor that starts a session passes through
xsk_tx_metadata_request() and configures offload state shared by the batch.
Metadata on descriptors joining an open session is therefore not validated
and does not configure its requested offloads. In addition, a non-NULL
metadata pointer from such a descriptor is treated as a timestamp
completion request even when XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP is not set, so its
metadata union can be overwritten with an unrequested timestamp. Fixing
mixed metadata states within one MPWQE requires a separate change. |

octeontx2-vf: fix workqueue and netdev race in probe/remove
Initialize the VF workqueue before register_netdev() so ndo_set_rx_mode
does not queue work on a NULL workqueue. Unregister the netdev before
destroying the workqueue, and add proper probe error cleanup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ife: Only operate on Ethernet frames
act_ife encapsulates/decapsulates the original Ethernet header and uses
skb->dev->hard_header_len as the length of that header. That is only
correct for Ethernet devices: on a device where hard_header_len does not
match the L2 header that was actually pulled (PPP reports PPP_HDRLEN
while nothing is stripped on ingress), the ingress skb_push()/skb_pull()
use the wrong length and can hit skb_under_panic when headroom is tight.
IFE is Ethernet-only by design - it builds an outer ethhdr, rewrites
h_source/h_dest/h_proto, and calls eth_type_trans() on decode - so
instead of trying to make the offsets work for arbitrary link types,
simply drop packets that do not carry an Ethernet header.
Checking skb->dev->type alone is not enough. We have to cater for a
corner case where mirred can redirect an skb from a non-Ethernet device
to an Ethernet one, and skb->dev then says nothing about the framing the
skb actually has: an skb redirected from ppp0 reaches the target's ingress
hook with mac_len 0 and no Ethernet header at all. So at ingress also
require mac_len to be ETH_HLEN. On egress mac_len is not maintained, so
the device type is all we have; a bogus redirect there yields a malformed
frame rather than an out-of-bounds push, and it would be malformed with or
without IFE.
That corner case is not theoretical - redirecting from ppp0 into a veth
that has an ife encode action on its ingress hook panics without this

net/sched: fq: add overflow bounds to quantum and initial quantum
fq_init() computes quantum = 2 * psched_mtu() and initial_quantum = 10 *
psched_mtu() with no overflow check. A device with a huge MTU (e.g. dummy
with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634) makes psched_mtu() return
0x80000000; the 2 * and 10 * multiplications wrap to 0 in 32-bit
arithmetic, so q->quantum == 0. Then in fq_dequeue() the credit-refill
loop adds 0 to f->credit (which stays <= 0) and goto begin loops
forever under the qdisc lock, creating a soft lockup.
Clamp psched_mtu() to [1, 1 << 20] before multiplying so the product
cannot wrap, then cap the result at 1 << 20, matching the bound already
enforced on TCA_FQ_QUANTUM in fq_change().
Conditions to recreate the bug: a device whose MTU (plus
hard_header_len) is large enough that 2 * psched_mtu() wraps (e.g. a
dummy device with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634). Requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN in a user namespace. |

netfilter: nf_tables: skip double clone set expressions on element insert
Both the dynset and newsetelem path clone the existing set expressions
when setting set element expressions if no override expressions are
provided. This results in a double clone, once to clone the template set
expressions then another clone on the new element. Add a flag to
annotate if userspace provides a override expression (ie. expression of
the same type of the set but different configuration), otherwise borrow
the existing expression from the set. Add conditionals to release
expression iif they represent an override. Use this new override_exprs
flag to dump the dynset expression override to userspace.
This simplifies the existing logic and it also fixes a bug with the
connlimit expression which results in a module refcount imbalance
WARNING splat when resorting on the default set expressions. |

ALSA: control: Don't add invalid kcontrols to LED layer
The kcontrol LED state layer tries to track the all associated
kcontrol elements with naive assumptions that they are readable.
But one can create a write-only element that has no get callback (even
a user element can do it), and this may lead to a NULL dereference at
the call chain of snd_ctl_led_notify(), as found by syzkaller.
For avoiding the Oops, add a sanity check of the kcontrol's info and
get callbacks, and just skip the invalid kcontrols before assigning
the kctl to the LED layer. |

USB: gadget: ffs: fix mm lifetime handling
io_data stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct,
but does not currently hold a reference to it while async
requests are pending.
This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before
completion handling finishes.
Take a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request
and release it with mmdrop() on request completion. |

usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix Use-After-Free in AIO error path
In ffs_epfile_write_iter() and ffs_epfile_read_iter(), when ffs_epfile_io()
fails with an error other than -EIOCBQUEUED, the io_data structure (`p`) is
freed. However, for AIO operations, the kiocb cancel function was already
armed and kiocb->private was set to `p`.
If a concurrent cancel operation (such as sys_io_cancel()) executes after
ffs_epfile_io() fails but before the function frees `p`, a Use-After-Free
can occur when the cancellation handler accesses the freed pointer.
To securely fix this race condition, we must properly un-arm the
cancellation. Invoking `kiocb->ki_complete()` does exactly this by
acquiring `ctx->ctx_lock` and safely removing the kiocb from the active
sequence. In doing so, it ensures that a parallel io_cancel can no longer
discover the kiocb, effectively closing the race window.
We then return -EIOCBQUEUED to notify the VFS layer that the kiocb has been
consumed and it should avoid attempting to complete the request again or
triggering subsequent completion handlers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: properly decrypt filenames in vmalloc() buffers
The fscrypt subsystem uses the scatterlist crypto API, inheriting its
requirement that any buffers are in the linear mapping region. However,
the messenger client uses kvmalloc() to create buffers for messages,
which will occasionally place those buffers in the vmalloc() region when
physical memory fragmentation doesn't permit a large enough kmalloc().
The various callers of ceph_fname_to_usr() directly pass (slices of) raw
messages from the MDS without considering that the messages may be in
vmalloc() buffers, resulting in oopses especially on non-x86 platforms
(see 'Closes:' for more details and a reproducer).
Make ceph_fname_to_usr() explicitly tolerant of vmalloc()-allocated
fname->ctext, fname->name, and/or oname->name buffers, using `tname`
(which, when non-null, must be a linear address; when null, is briefly
allocated as necessary) as a bounce buffer to avoid passing any
inappropriate addresses to fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr().
Additionally change parse_reply_info_readdir() -- the only function to
supply its own `tname` -- to follow the new "tname must never come from
vmalloc()" rule by passing NULL when the message is not in the linear
region. Though this causes a per-dentry kmalloc()+kfree(), this overhead
exists only when processing the minority of messages that spill into
vmalloc(). My (crude) testing puts this at only about 1 in 8,000 readdir
messages. Still, if the overhead proves unreasonable in the future, it
is easy enough to mitigate: a future change could allocate a bounce
buffer in parse_reply_info_readdir() and use that as `tname` instead. |
