x86/mm/pat: Allocate split page tables as kernel page tables
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm/pat: Allocate split page tables as kernel page tables
A PTE is allocated directly without going through the standard page table
allocation routines (such as pte_alloc_one_kernel()) when the CPA code
splits a large page (__split_large_page()).
This means the page table constructor is never called nor is the page table
marked as a kernel page table.
The former results in the folio associated with the page table not being
marked as a page table (__pagetable_ctor() is never called thus neither is
__folio_set_pgtable()) nor are statistics updated to reflect
it (lruvec_s
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: avoid unneeded actions on subflow reset
Once in a blue moon, the mptcp receive path can recursively call
mptcp_data_ready() via state change under unlucky error conditions, and
then try to hold the data lock again.
Break the recursion loop explicitly checking for the exceptional
condition.
Add a new flag instead of using an existing one like 'closing', to exit
early in subflow_state_change(), and explicitly flush the RX queue at
reset time.
This avoids unneeded processing to check for available data -- calling
get_mapping_status() and more on a dying subflow -- bu
mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change
The mptcp scheduler may race with subflow sockets state change: data
transmission on the selected socket may fail and a later release could
try to use mss_now reset to 0 for a divide operation.
Address the issue by explicitly checking for the critical scenario.
mptcp: fix bad accounting in __mptcp_subflow_push_pending()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix bad accounting in __mptcp_subflow_push_pending()
If __subflow_push_pending() errors out we should avoid updating the
copied byte counters, to avoid mismatch push call later on.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: fix quota init duplicate scan
gfs2_quota_init() checks for duplicate quota_change IDs while holding
qd_lock and the quota hash bucket bitlock. That path used
gfs2_qd_search_bucket(), which takes a lockref reference via
lockref_get_not_dead().
On PREEMPT_RT this may sleep, which is not allowed under the bucket
bitlock, triggering "sleeping function called from invalid context".
Use a no-ref bucket lookup in this path, then continue duplicate
handling without taking a lockref there.
Refactor gfs2_qd_search_bucket() to build on top of the no-ref helper
so lookup trave
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: move quota_init qc iterator increment
Move qc++ from the loop body into the for-loop increment
expression in gfs2_quota_init().
This keeps iterator progression explicit and avoids mixing pointer
advance with duplicate-slot handling in the loop body.
drm/xe: Fix null pointer dereference in devcoredump cleanup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix null pointer dereference in devcoredump cleanup
In xe_devcoredump_snapshot_free(), ss->gt may be NULL when the snapshot
was never fully populated (e.g., when cleanup is triggered without a
prior capture). Guard the xe_guc_capture_put_matched_nodes() call with
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to prevent a null dereference.
In xe_devcoredump_free(), the deferred work is only queued when a
coredump is captured, so guard cancel_work_sync() with a check on
coredump->captured.
wifi: cfg80211: reject duplicate wiphy cipher suite entries
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: reject duplicate wiphy cipher suite entries
Duplicate entries in wiphy->cipher_suites do not describe any
additional capability, but cfg80211 currently accepts them and leaves
individual consumers to deal with them.
One such consumer is the WEXT compatibility code, which appends a WEP
key length for each WEP cipher entry it sees. Repeated WEP entries can
therefore overflow the fixed iw_range::encoding_size array returned by
SIOCGIWRANGE.
Reject duplicate cipher suite entries in wiphy_register() instead.
This keeps the cipher suite invariant in one place an
wifi: nl80211: reject beacons with bad HE operation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: reject beacons with bad HE operation
The HE operation element not only needs to be longer than
the fixed part, but also have an appropriate size for the
variable part inside of it. Check this.
wifi: rtw88: Add NULL check for chip->edcca_th in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: Add NULL check for chip->edcca_th in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
It was recently reported that rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
in fw.c dereferences rtwdev->chip->edcca_th without
a NULL check. The issue is that devices with the
8821CE chip don't define edcca_th in their chip
info. As a result, when rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
tries to dereference it, the kernel triggers an oops.
Add a NULL check for edcca_th before dereferencing
it in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() in fw.c. Placing
the check at the function entry avoids logging any
garbage values.

i3c: master: svc: Prevent IRQ storm from false SLVSTART on NPCM845
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: master: svc: Prevent IRQ storm from false SLVSTART on NPCM845
On NPCM845, when a target on the I3C bus gets stuck holding SDA low,
the controller reports a false Master Request (MR) in-band interrupt
event. The driver handles this by emitting a STOP condition to restore
the bus.
However, the hardware quirk SVC_I3C_QUIRK_FALSE_SLVSTART indicates that
emitting a STOP condition may spuriously set the SLVSTART interrupt
status bit. In the Master Request case, this creates a feedback loop:
the STOP triggers a new SLVSTART event, the IRQ handler fires again,

media: chips-media: wave5: Fix Reports from Kernel Lock Validator
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Fix Reports from Kernel Lock Validator
handle_dynamic_resolution change requires that the state_lock be acquired
based on the lockdep_assert_held. However, the
handle_dynamic_resolution_change call in initialize_sequence does not
properly obtain the lock before calling.
Since the v4l2_ctrl_find and s_ctrl can sleep, they should not be called
while a lock is already held. Store off the fbc_buf_count then properly
update control once lock has been freed.
media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed from List
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed from List
Possible use after free if IRQ thread manages to obtain spinlock between
m2m_ctx release and wave5_release function removing stream instance from
list of active instances. The IRQ thread looks for the m2m_ctx which is
freed so null pointer dereference occurs.
spi: spi-qcom-qspi: Fix incomplete error handling in runtime PM
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spi-qcom-qspi: Fix incomplete error handling in runtime PM
The runtime PM functions had incomplete error handling that could leave the
system in an inconsistent state. If any operation failed midway through
suspend or resume, some resources would be left in the wrong state while
others were already changed, leading to potential clock/power imbalances.
Reorder the suspend/resume sequences to avoid brownout risk by ensuring the
performance state is set appropriately before clocks are enabled and clocks
are disabled before dropping the performance state.

wifi: mac80211: avoid out-of-bounds access in monitor
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: avoid out-of-bounds access in monitor
In NAN, we don't know on what band the frame will be sent. Therefore we
set info->band to NUM_NL80211_BANDS. However, this leads to out-of-bound
access in ieee80211_add_tx_radiotap_header when we try to access the
sbands array.
Fix it by not accessing the array if the band is NUM_NL80211_BANDS.
This means that we will not report rate info for legacy rate in NAN.
But nobody really cares about it.
thunderbolt: Release request if tb_cfg_request() fails in __tb_xdomain_response()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: Release request if tb_cfg_request() fails in __tb_xdomain_response()
If tb_cfg_request() fails setting up the request (for example the
control channel is shut down already) it returns an error without
calling the callback. To avoid leaking that memory, call
tb_cfg_request_put() if tb_cfg_request() fails.
thunderbolt: Keep XDomain reference during the lifetime of a service
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: Keep XDomain reference during the lifetime of a service
This is needed because we release the service ID in tb_service_release()
and the ID array is owned by the parent XDomain.
thunderbolt: Set tb->root_switch to NULL when domain is stopped
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: Set tb->root_switch to NULL when domain is stopped
Similarly what we do with the firmware connection manager. This makes
tb_xdp_handle_request() return error to the remote host. However, we
need to make sure we keep the uuid alive so that we can reply until the
whole domain is released.
media: dm1105: fix missing error check for dma_alloc_coherent
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dm1105: fix missing error check for dma_alloc_coherent
The return value of dm1105_dma_map(), which handles DMA memory allocation,
is ignored in dm1105_hw_init(). If dma_alloc_coherent() fails, the driver
will proceed using a NULL pointer for DMA transfers, leading to a kernel
oops or invalid hardware access.
Fix this by checking the return value and propagating -ENOMEM on failure.
crypto: ixp4xx - fix buffer chain unwind on allocation failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ixp4xx - fix buffer chain unwind on allocation failure
chainup_buffers() builds a linked list of buffer descriptors for a
scatterlist. If dma_pool_alloc() fails while constructing the list, the
current code sets buf to NULL and later dereferences it unconditionally
at the end of the function:
buf->next = NULL;
buf->phys_next = 0;
This can lead to a null-pointer dereference on allocation failure.
If the failure happens after part of the descriptor chain has already
been allocated and DMA-mapped, the partially constructed chain also
needs to be released.
