In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-crypt, dm-verity: disable tasklets
Tasklets have an inherent problem with memory corruption. The function
tasklet_action_common calls tasklet_trylock, then it calls the tasklet
callback and then it calls tasklet_unlock. If the tasklet callback frees
the structure that contains the tasklet or if it calls some code that may
free it, tasklet_unlock will write into free memory.
The commits 8e14f610159d and d9a02e016aaf try to fix it for dm-crypt, but
it is not a sufficient fix and the data corruption can still happen [1].
There is no fix for dm-verity and dm-verity will wri
HID: i2c-hid-of: fix NULL-deref on failed power up
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: i2c-hid-of: fix NULL-deref on failed power up
A while back the I2C HID implementation was split in an ACPI and OF
part, but the new OF driver never initialises the client pointer which
is dereferenced on power-up failures.
usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix NULL pointer dereference in dwc3_gadget_suspend
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix NULL pointer dereference in dwc3_gadget_suspend
In current scenario if Plug-out and Plug-In performed continuously
there could be a chance while checking for dwc->gadget_driver in
dwc3_gadget_suspend, a NULL pointer dereference may occur.
Call Stack:
CPU1: CPU2:
gadget_unbind_driver dwc3_suspend_common
dwc3_gadget_stop dwc3_gadget_suspend
dwc3_disconnect_gadget
CPU1 basically clears the variable and CPU2 checks the variable.
Consider CPU1 is running and r
powerpc/kasan: Fix addr error caused by page alignment
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/kasan: Fix addr error caused by page alignment
In kasan_init_region, when k_start is not page aligned, at the begin of
for loop, k_cur = k_start & PAGE_MASK is less than k_start, and then
`va = block + k_cur - k_start` is less than block, the addr va is invalid,
because the memory address space from va to block is not alloced by
memblock_alloc, which will not be reserved by memblock_reserve later, it
will be used by other places.
As a result, memory overwriting occurs.
for example:
int __init __weak kasan_init_region(void *start, size_t size)

net: hsr: remove WARN_ONCE() in send_hsr_supervision_frame()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: remove WARN_ONCE() in send_hsr_supervision_frame()
Syzkaller reported [1] hitting a warning after failing to allocate
resources for skb in hsr_init_skb(). Since a WARN_ONCE() call will
not help much in this case, it might be prudent to switch to
netdev_warn_once(). At the very least it will suppress syzkaller
reports such as [1].
Just in case, use netdev_warn_once() in send_prp_supervision_frame()
for similar reasons.

ext4: fix double-free of blocks due to wrong extents moved_len
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix double-free of blocks due to wrong extents moved_len
In ext4_move_extents(), moved_len is only updated when all moves are
successfully executed, and only discards orig_inode and donor_inode
preallocations when moved_len is not zero. When the loop fails to exit
after successfully moving some extents, moved_len is not updated and
remains at 0, so it does not discard the preallocations.
If the moved extents overlap with the preallocated extents, the
overlapped extents are freed twice in ext4_mb_release_inode_pa() and
ext4_process_freed_data() (as described in commit
iio: magnetometer: rm3100: add boundary check for the value read from RM3100_REG_TMRC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: magnetometer: rm3100: add boundary check for the value read from RM3100_REG_TMRC
Recently, we encounter kernel crash in function rm3100_common_probe
caused by out of bound access of array rm3100_samp_rates (because of
underlying hardware failures). Add boundary check to prevent out of
bound access.
hv_netvsc: Fix race condition between netvsc_probe and netvsc_remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hv_netvsc: Fix race condition between netvsc_probe and netvsc_remove
In commit ac5047671758 ("hv_netvsc: Disable NAPI before closing the
VMBus channel"), napi_disable was getting called for all channels,
including all subchannels without confirming if they are enabled or not.
This caused hv_netvsc getting hung at napi_disable, when netvsc_probe()
has finished running but nvdev->subchan_work has not started yet.
netvsc_subchan_work() -> rndis_set_subchannel() has not created the
sub-channels and because of that netvsc_sc_open() is not running.
netvsc_remove() calls cancel_w
nilfs2: fix data corruption in dsync block recovery for small block sizes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix data corruption in dsync block recovery for small block sizes
The helper function nilfs_recovery_copy_block() of
nilfs_recovery_dsync_blocks(), which recovers data from logs created by
data sync writes during a mount after an unclean shutdown, incorrectly
calculates the on-page offset when copying repair data to the file's page
cache. In environments where the block size is smaller than the page
size, this flaw can cause data corruption and leak uninitialized memory
bytes during the recovery process.
Fix these issues by correcting this byte offset calculation
nilfs2: fix hang in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix hang in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers()
Syzbot reported a hang issue in migrate_pages_batch() called by mbind()
and nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() called in the log writer of nilfs2.
While migrate_pages_batch() locks a folio and waits for the writeback to
complete, the log writer thread that should bring the writeback to
completion picks up the folio being written back in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() that it calls for subsequent log
creation and was trying to lock the folio. Thus causing a deadlock.
In the first place, it is unexpected that folios/p

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: prevent use-after-free in encode_cap_msg()
In fs/ceph/caps.c, in encode_cap_msg(), "use after free" error was
caught by KASAN at this line - 'ceph_buffer_get(arg->xattr_buf);'. This
implies before the refcount could be increment here, it was freed.
In same file, in "handle_cap_grant()" refcount is decremented by this
line - 'ceph_buffer_put(ci->i_xattrs.blob);'. It appears that a race
occurred and resource was freed by the latter line before the former
line could increment it.
encode_cap_msg() is called by __send_cap() and __send_cap() is called by
ceph_check_caps()
fs,hugetlb: fix NULL pointer dereference in hugetlbs_fill_super
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs,hugetlb: fix NULL pointer dereference in hugetlbs_fill_super
When configuring a hugetlb filesystem via the fsconfig() syscall, there is
a possible NULL dereference in hugetlbfs_fill_super() caused by assigning
NULL to ctx->hstate in hugetlbfs_parse_param() when the requested pagesize
is non valid.
E.g: Taking the following steps:
fd = fsopen("hugetlbfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pagesize", "1024", 0);
fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0);
Given that the requested "pagesize" is invalid, ctxt->hstate will be replaced
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/events: close evtchn after mapping cleanup
shutdown_pirq and startup_pirq are not taking the
irq_mapping_update_lock because they can't due to lock inversion. Both
are called with the irq_desc->lock being taking. The lock order,
however, is first irq_mapping_update_lock and then irq_desc->lock.
This opens multiple races:
- shutdown_pirq can be interrupted by a function that allocates an event
channel:
CPU0 CPU1
shutdown_pirq {
xen_evtchn_close(e)
__startup_pirq {

nilfs2: fix potential bug in end_buffer_async_write
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential bug in end_buffer_async_write
According to a syzbot report, end_buffer_async_write(), which handles the
completion of block device writes, may detect abnormal condition of the
buffer async_write flag and cause a BUG_ON failure when using nilfs2.
Nilfs2 itself does not use end_buffer_async_write(). But, the async_write
flag is now used as a marker by commit 7f42ec394156 ("nilfs2: fix issue
with race condition of competition between segments for dirty blocks") as
a means of resolving double list insertion of dirty blocks in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buff
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: vsie: fix race during shadow creation
Right now it is possible to see gmap->private being zero in
kvm_s390_vsie_gmap_notifier resulting in a crash. This is due to the
fact that we add gmap->private == kvm after creation:
static int acquire_gmap_shadow(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
struct vsie_page *vsie_page)
{
[...]
gmap = gmap_shadow(vcpu->arch.gmap, asce, edat);
if (IS_ERR(gmap))
return PTR_ERR(gmap);
gmap->private = vcpu->kvm;
Let children inherit the private field of the parent.
can: j1939: prevent deadlock by changing j1939_socks_lock to rwlock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: j1939: prevent deadlock by changing j1939_socks_lock to rwlock
The following 3 locks would race against each other, causing the
deadlock situation in the Syzbot bug report:
- j1939_socks_lock
- active_session_list_lock
- sk_session_queue_lock
A reasonable fix is to change j1939_socks_lock to an rwlock, since in
the rare situations where a write lock is required for the linked list
that j1939_socks_lock is protecting, the code does not attempt to
acquire any more locks. This would break the circular lock dependency,
where, for example, the current thread already locks
