ovpn: fix NULL dereference when killing missing key
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: fix NULL dereference when killing missing key
ovpn_crypto_kill_key assumes both crypto slots are populated and
dereferences each slot before checking it. That is not guaranteed: a
peer can have only one installed key, and the kill path may be asked to
remove a key that is not present.
Read each slot once while holding the crypto state lock, check for NULL
before looking at key_id, and only replace the slot that actually
matches.
ovpn: finish crypto callback cleanup before peer release
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: finish crypto callback cleanup before peer release
Crypto completion callbacks hold both key-slot and peer references. The
peer reference pins the netdev, and dropping the last peer reference can
let netdev unregistration and module removal make progress.
Do not release that peer reference before the callback has finished its
own cleanup. If ovpn_crypto_key_slot_put runs after ovpn_peer_put, it can
schedule an RCU callback backed by module text after ovpn_cleanup
rcu_barrier has already run. The TX error path also freed the remaining
skb after ovpn_peer_put, leaving
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: pair EH runtime PM get and put
shost->eh_noresume is currently consulted twice in one error handling
iteration: once before scsi_autopm_get_host() and once again before
scsi_autopm_put_host().
That is racy when a PM-triggered error path flips shost->eh_noresume
while the SCSI EH thread is still running.
The problem flow looks like this:
PM path
ufshcd_set_dev_pwr_mode()
shost->eh_noresume = 1
ufshcd_execute_start_stop <-- trigger EH
...
shost->eh_noresume = 0
EH path

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Reject exited events as group leaders
perf_event_remove_on_exec() sets remove-on-exec events to the EXIT state
and detaches their group relationships. The event's file descriptor can
remain open, however, and perf_event_open() currently accepts that event
as a group leader because its early validation rejects only REVOKED and
DEAD events.
A new sibling can consequently be linked to the detached leader. When
the leader is closed, perf_group_detach() observes that its
PERF_ATTACH_GROUP bit is already clear and skips the new sibling. The
sibling then retains a group_
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate cookie AUTH state before use
When cookie authentication is disabled, COOKIE_ECHO restores fixed-size
AUTH fields directly from peer-controlled cookie bytes. A forged RANDOM
length, HMAC list, or CHUNKS list can then reach association consumers
with lengths or identifiers that were never validated against the local
backing arrays.
A forged RANDOM length can cause out-of-bounds reads during key-vector
construction. A forged HMAC identifier also caused a 32-byte write past
a zero-length AUTH chunk, providing a primitive for a local privilege
escalation chain.
riscv: lib: Fix ZBB strnlen reading past count boundary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: lib: Fix ZBB strnlen reading past count boundary
The ZBB-optimized strnlen loop loads one word ahead before checking the
aligned boundary:
REG_L t1, SZREG(t0) // load next word
addi t0, t0, SZREG // advance
orc.b t1, t1
bgeu t0, t4, 4f // boundary check AFTER load
where t4 = (s + count) & -SZREG. When s is aligned and count is a
multiple of SZREG, t4 equals s + count and the loop loads a full word
starting at exactly s + count. If s + count falls on a page boundary
with the next page unmapped, this faults.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: defer key slot crypto freeing to workqueue
Key slots are released through a kref and the existing release path
frees the AEAD transforms from an RCU callback. That is not safe for all
crypto implementations: crypto_free_aead can sleep, for example when an
async or hardware implementation has teardown work to complete.
Use queue_rcu_work for key-slot release. This keeps the RCU grace period
needed by lockless key-slot readers, but runs the actual crypto teardown
from workqueue context where sleeping is allowed. Once the rcu_work
callback runs, pre-existing RCU readers
rseq: Prevent hard lockup on granted time slice extension
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rseq: Prevent hard lockup on granted time slice extension
__exit_to_user_mode_loop() invokes rseq_grant_timeslice_extension() with
interrupts enabled. If the extension is granted it invokes
hrtimer_rearm_deferred_tif() to ensure that a pending deferred hrtimer
rearm is handled before exiting to user space.
Though this invokes __hrtimer_rearm_deferred() which expects to be invoked
with interrupts disabled as it takes hrtimer_cpu_base::lock with
raw_spin_lock(). That's a livelock waiting to happen and caught by lockdep:

netfilter: ipset: fix refcount race between list:set GC and swap
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: fix refcount race between list:set GC and swap
__ip_set_put_byindex() resolved the index to a set pointer under RCU,
then took ip_set_ref_lock in __ip_set_put() to decrement set->ref.
ip_set_swap() holds that same lock while swapping both the ip_set_list
slots and the two sets' ref counters, so it can interleave between the
dereference and the lock acquisition, leaving the caller to decrement a
set whose reference already moved to the other index and hit
BUG_ON(set->ref == 0). list_set_gc() reaches this from timer softirq,
which the nfnl mutex does not ser
ipvs: revalidate ihl to prevent out-of-bounds access
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: revalidate ihl to prevent out-of-bounds access
While the outer IP header is already pulled into the skb head,
we must be careful and revalidate the embedded headers after
reading them from the skb frags to prevent out-of-bounds
access.
One such place reported by Sashiko is ip_vs_nat_icmp() where
local process can change the ihl field and after
skb_ensure_writable() we can see larger value which is a
problem for the ip_send_check(cih) calls.
Add check to drop the packet if the ihl field is changed.
netfilter: flowtable: publish GC-visible tuple last
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: publish GC-visible tuple last
nf_flow_table_iterate() only treats original-direction tuple nodes as
owning entries. Publishing the original node first lets GC observe and
free a flow while flow_offload_add() is still inserting the reply node.
Publish the reply node first and the original node last so GC never
sees a partially installed flow.
KASAN can trigger slab-use-after-free read and write reports in the
flowtable/rhashtable path (rht_deferred_worker, jhash, flow_offload_del,
flow_offload_lookup, etc.).
eth: bnxt: avoid deadlock when canceling IRQ affinity notifier
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: bnxt: avoid deadlock when canceling IRQ affinity notifier
Unregistering IRQ affinity notifiers waits for the callback synchronously.
bnxt takes the netdev instance lock in the notifier (to restart the queue)
and cancels the work under the same lock. This may obviously deadlock.
Move the restart to the async service task. The queue restart isn't
super time sensitive. Store the new TPH tag, schedule the task.
Safely canceling the service task is already ironed out.
In bnxt_request_irq() the order of registering notifier, affinity and
initial TPH programming has to be i
ipvlan: inherit needed_headroom and needed_tailroom from phy_dev
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvlan: inherit needed_headroom and needed_tailroom from phy_dev
ipvlan devices inherit hard_header_len from phy_dev during ipvlan_init(),
but leave needed_headroom and needed_tailroom set to 0.
When the underlying phy_dev (or stacked lower device) requires extra headroom
or tailroom for headers/trailers (e.g. macsec, ipsec, wireguard, tunnels, or
veth with rx headroom), upper layers calculating packet headroom and tailroom
fail to reserve sufficient space.
This can result in reallocation overhead, skb headroom underflows, or KASAN

veth: fix queue index used to wake the peer txq in veth_poll
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: fix queue index used to wake the peer txq in veth_poll
veth_poll() derives the index of the peer TX queue to wake from
rq->xdp_rxq.queue_index. That field is only initialized by
xdp_rxq_info_reg() in veth_enable_xdp_range(), which runs only when an
XDP program is attached. On the plain GRO/NAPI path
(veth_napi_enable_range()) xdp_rxq_info_reg() is never called, so
queue_index stays 0 for every queue, as priv->rq is zero-allocated.
So in a multi-queue setup with GRO enabled and no XDP program attached,
every NAPI instance looks at the peer's TX queue 0. If veth_xmit()
net: ngbe: fix NULL pointer dereference in non-MSI-X interrupt enabling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ngbe: fix NULL pointer dereference in non-MSI-X interrupt enabling
In non-MSI-X mode (such as legacy INTx or single MSI), wx->msix_entry is
not allocated or initialized. Calling NGBE_INTR_MISC(wx) dereferences
wx->msix_entry->entry, leading to a NULL pointer dereference crash.
This issue was introduced by fixing the IRQ vector when the number of
VFs is 7. Fix the issue by explicitly checking `pdev->msix_enabled` to
determine the correct vector index.
Additionally, as a side fix, set the interrupt mask to BIT(0) for the
non-MSI-X fallback. In MSI/INTx mode, the MISC a
net/sched: act_api: fix TOCTOU NULL deref on a->goto_chain
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_api: fix TOCTOU NULL deref on a->goto_chain
tcf_action_exec() handles TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN by first checking
rcu_access_pointer(a->goto_chain) and then calling
tcf_action_goto_chain_exec(), which does a second, independent
rcu_dereference_bh(a->goto_chain) read and immediately dereferences
chain->filter_chain. A concurrent tcf_action_set_ctrlact() (e.g. the gact
replace path) can clear a->goto_chain between the two reads, so the second
read returns NULL and tcf_action_goto_chain_exec() dereferences NULL.
Fix the race by doing a single rcu_dereference_bh() read
net/sched: cls_u32: skip hash tables in u32_bind_class()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_u32: skip hash tables in u32_bind_class()
u32_walk() enumerates both struct tc_u_hnode and struct tc_u_knode
through the walker callback. u32_bind_class() unconditionally casts the
passed fh to tc_u_knode and accesses &n->res, so when fh is actually a
tc_u_hnode, which has no tcf_result member, this results in a
slab-out-of-bounds read of res->classid in tc_cls_bind_class().
The issue can be reproduced with the following commands:
tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: hfsc
tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:1 hfsc sc rate 1000kbit

regmap: sdw-mbq: don't call an unset readable_reg callback
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regmap: sdw-mbq: don't call an unset readable_reg callback
regmap_sdw_mbq_poll_busy() decides whether to poll the Function Busy bit
by calling ctx->readable_reg(), which is a straight copy of
config->readable_reg. That callback is optional: regmap_readable() treats
a NULL ->readable_reg as "every register is readable", and drivers rely on
that. es9356 and tac5xx2-sdw both build an MBQ regmap without one.
Since commit ca1b11b36d82 ("regmap: sdw-mbq: Allow defers on undeferrable
controls") the poll runs on every -ENODATA, not only for Controls the

net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Fix port_id extraction from SRC TAG
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Fix port_id extraction from SRC TAG
On the packet reception path, the ID of the MAC Port on which the packet
was received, is embedded in the RX DMA Descriptor's metadata. The ID is
extracted using the helper function cppi5_desc_get_tags_ids() which fills
in the 16-bit Source Tag into the 'port_id' variable. However, it is only
the lower 8-bits of the 16-bit Source Tag that represent the MAC Port ID,
while the upper 8-bits are Hardware-Reserved and carry an arbitrary value.
With the existing logic, sporadic kernel crash is observed due to
