In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Fix budget accounting
The gmac_rx() function returns the remaining NAPI budget, but its
caller treats the return value as the number of packets received. An
idle poll therefore reports a full budget and remains scheduled.
Return the number of received packets instead. Preserve the existing
free queue refill accounting by adding that count directly; continuing
to subtract it from the budget would invert the refill behavior.
net: ethernet: cortina: Count dropped frames as NAPI work
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Count dropped frames as NAPI work
The RX loop only consumes budget when it successfully delivers a frame.
Error paths keep consuming descriptors without reducing the budget, so a
stream of bad frames can process the entire receive ring in one poll.
Move the budget accounting to a common end-of-frame path. This counts
each completed frame as NAPI work whether it was delivered or dropped,
matching the behavior of the vendor driver.
s390/debug: Fix NULL pointer dereference in debug_set_level()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/debug: Fix NULL pointer dereference in debug_set_level()
Commit a2cec6863709 ("s390/debug: Add s390dbf kernel parameter")
incorrectly removed a null-id check from debug_set_level(), introducing
a possible NULL pointer dereference for debug-API users that put
debug_register() results unchecked into debug_set_level().
Fix this by moving the check from the internal _debug_set_level()
variant back to the external debug_set_level() wrapper.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: add missing xa_destroy for sched_node_ids
Commit 16dfa49406bc ("ice: Introduce new parameters in ice_sched_node")
added a sched_node_ids xarray to the port info structure, but never called
xa_destroy on it.
Since xarrays can allocate internal memory, this can result in a memory
leak even if every element in the xarray has been removed.
The xarray is currently embedded in the port_info structure. This appears
to have been done because its use is within functions that take the
port_info as a primary argument.
However, this complicates managing the lifecycle of the fie
eth: ice: don't dereference pointers from TP_printk()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: ice: don't dereference pointers from TP_printk()
After forwarding net-next during the v7.3 merge window we started
seeing:
TRACE EVENT ERROR: Event ice_tx_dim_work has double dereference in TP_printk: REC->q_vector->tx.tx_ring->q_index
WARNING: kernel/trace/trace_events.c:420 at test_double_dereference.cold+0x39/0x4b
this is due to extra checks added in tracing subsystem in
commit b5cc230af5e5 ("tracing: Warn when an event dereferences a pointer in TP_printk()").
Printing happens long after the event was recorded, by which point
the pointers may be invalid (the
Bluetooth: btusb: Fix UAF of btusb_data by rx_work
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: Fix UAF of btusb_data by rx_work
btusb_close() and btusb_flush() cancel data->rx_work with the
asynchronous cancel_delayed_work(), so if btusb_rx_work() is already
running on another CPU it keeps running after the cancel returns.
btusb_disconnect() calls hci_unregister_dev(), which invokes
btusb_close(), and then frees the btusb_data. A still running
btusb_rx_work() then dereferences the freed data:
while ((skb = skb_dequeue(&data->acl_q)))
data->recv_acl(data->hdev, skb);
Use cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. In btusb_close() the cancel also
has t
Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: validate packet_len before skb_put_data
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: validate packet_len before skb_put_data
btintel_pcie_submit_rx_work() reads packet_len from rfh_hdr without
checking if it exceeds the RX buffer size. An oversized packet_len
can lead to an out-of-bounds read in skb_put_data().
Validate packet_len to ensure it is non-zero and does not exceed
BTINTEL_PCIE_BUFFER_SIZE - sizeof(*rfh_hdr), logging an error when
invalid.
This issue was reported by Claude Mythos. It can be simulated either by
using customized firmware configured to return an invalid packet_len or
by modifying rfh_hdr->packet_len in the
Bluetooth: hci_sysfs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in device_del()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sysfs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in device_del()
A NULL pointer dereference in klist_put() occurs when a child device (such
as a BNEP network device in bnep_session) is concurrently being
unregistered while hci_conn_del_sysfs() reparents child devices.
This is caused by a race condition between hci_conn_del_sysfs() and
concurrent child device unregistration (e.g. bnep_session calling
unregister_netdev()). During device unregistration, device_del() snapshots
a non-NULL parent pointer. Concurrently, hci_conn_del_sysfs() finds the
child device using device_f
ipv6: null-check fib6_node before accessing in __ip6_del_rt_siblings()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: null-check fib6_node before accessing in __ip6_del_rt_siblings()
syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in __ip6_del_rt_siblings() [0].
The stack trace hinted towards a null dereference of rt->fib6_node when
fn->leaf is accessed in __ip6_del_rt_siblings(). With
RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_UNLOCKED set, inet6_rtm_delroute() operations run
concurrently without acquiring the RTNL lock. In ip6_route_del(), the
route lookup happens under rcu_read_lock() without acquiring
table->tb6_lock.
Between ip6_route_del() looking up the route and __ip6_del_rt_siblings()
acquiring table->tb6_lock, ano
net: macb: destroy the phylink instance on the probe error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: destroy the phylink instance on the probe error path
macb_mii_init() creates a phylink instance on both of its success paths,
but the probe unwind frees the netdev without destroying it, so a failing
macb_alloc_tieoff() or register_netdev() leaks the instance.
Destroy it at err_out_unregister_mdio, which is only reachable once
macb_mii_init() has succeeded, so bp->phylink is valid there.
net: macb: put the "mdio" child node reference on success
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: put the "mdio" child node reference on success
macb_mii_init() holds the reference returned by of_get_child_by_name()
for macb_mdiobus_register() and drops it only on the error paths, so
every successful probe leaks a node reference. On a CM5, overlay
removal after four bind cycles reports
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 5
Drop the reference after registration, where __mdiobus_register() has
already taken its own for the lifetime of the bus.
nstree: check listing permission before taking a namespace reference
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nstree: check listing permission before taking a namespace reference
legitimize_ns() takes a reference on the candidate namespace before
may_list_ns() has decided whether the caller may see it. The
__free(ns_put) cleanup on the denied path can drop the last reference to a
mount namespace while we still hold the rcu read lock, and put_mnt_ns()
may sleep there. This is the same problem commit 2ec2aff3c8e2 ("ns: make
sure reference are dropped outside of rcu lock") fixed for the put_user()
path. Neither ns_requested() nor may_list_ns() needs a reference, both
only look at the
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: msc313e: Avoid division by zero
clk_get_rate() could return 0. Avoid a division by zero panic.
watchdog: msc313e: Fix clock leak and spurious timer in settimeout()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: msc313e: Fix clock leak and spurious timer in settimeout()
msc313e_wdt_settimeout() unconditionally calls msc313e_wdt_start() which
introduces two severe bugs:
1. If the watchdog is already active, calling start() again will
increase the reference count of the clock again. However stop() is
only called once, the reference count is unbalance.
2. If the watchdog is stopped, calling settimeout() will start
the hardware timer accidentally.
Factor out the register-writing logic into a helper function. Only call
it in settimeout() if the watchdog is running
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Create debugfs entries after hwmon registration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Create debugfs entries after hwmon registration
ccp_debugfs_init() registers debugfs files whose private data is the devm
allocated ccp. It runs before hwmon_device_register_with_info(), so when
that registration fails, ccp_probe() returns with the files still in
place. The HID core then frees ccp, and ccp_remove() is not called for a
failed probe, so nothing removes them later either. Reading one of the
files dereferences the freed pointer.
Create the debugfs entries only after the hwmon device has been
registered, so no failing path can leave the
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Remove debugfs entries when probe fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Remove debugfs entries when probe fails
ccp_debugfs_init() registers debugfs files whose private data is the devm
allocated ccp. If hwmon_device_register_with_info() fails right after it,
ccp_probe() returns without removing them: the HID core then frees ccp,
and ccp_remove() is not called for a failed probe, so the files stay
behind. Reading one of them dereferences the freed pointer.
Remove the debugfs entries on that error path. debugfs_remove_recursive()
waits for readers already inside the show callbacks, so ccp is no longer
reachable through
octeontx2-pf: reset HTB scheduler topology before freeing queues
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: reset HTB scheduler topology before freeing queues
HTB offload programs NIX_AF_TLxX_TOPOLOGY on QoS-allocated scheduler
queues via otx2_qos_txschq_set_parent_topology(), but teardown freed
those queues without clearing TOPOLOGY. The AF only restores PARENT and
SCHEDULE on free, so PRIO_ANCHOR/RR_PRIO settings can survive in the
shared scheduler pool and affect later allocations.
Add otx2_qos_reset_schq_topology() and otx2_qos_free_hw_schq() to zero
TL4 through TL2 TOPOLOGY before each schq is returned to the AF during
hierarchy teardown and cfg rollback. Sk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: initialize _md in vxlan_xmit_one()
If a VXLAN device is configured with both VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA and
VXLAN_F_GBP, and a packet is transmitted through it using an external
ip_tunnel_info that lacks the IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT flag, md is left
pointing to the uninitialized _md stack variable:
if (test_bit(IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT, info->key.tun_flags)) {
if (info->options_len < sizeof(*md))
goto drop;
md = ip_tunnel_info_opts(info);
}

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp_synctty: ensure a writeable skb header
ppp_sync_txmunge() checks headroom before prepending the address and
control bytes, but does not ensure that the skb header is writable.
A received skb can reach this function through PPP channel bridging
without passing through ppp_start_xmit(), which calls skb_cow_head().
For example, a PPPoE frame may share its buffer with a clone queued to
an AF_PACKET socket. If it is bridged to a synchronous tty channel, the
address/control bytes can overwrite data still visible to that socket.
Use skb_cow_head() to ensure both sufficient h
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: initialize ptp_lock at probe time
priv->ptp_lock is only initialized in stmmac_ptp_register(), which runs
during __stmmac_open(). However, the lock is also used while the
interface is down and has never been opened: tc_taprio_configure()
invokes the PTP gettime64() callback to compute the EST base time when
offloading a TAPRIO schedule, and stmmac_get_time() takes
priv->ptp_lock. Using an uninitialized rwlock is undefined behaviour.
Move the rwlock_init() to __stmmac_dvr_probe(), together with the other
private locks, so that ptp_lock is always valid regardless
