HID: picolcd: prevent NULL pointer dereference in picolcd_send_and_wait()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: picolcd: prevent NULL pointer dereference in picolcd_send_and_wait()
In picolcd_send_and_wait(), an integer overflow of the signed loop counter
'k' can theoretically lead to a NULL pointer dereference of 'raw_data'.
If the loop executes more than INT_MAX times, 'k' becomes negative,
making the condition 'k < size' true even when 'size' is 0.
Change the type of 'k' to 'unsigned int' to prevent the overflow and
eliminate the out-of-bounds access.

HID: core: Fix OOB read in hid_get_report for numbered reports
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: Fix OOB read in hid_get_report for numbered reports
When a caller passes a size of 0 to hid_report_raw_event() for a
numbered report, the function originally called hid_get_report() before
performing any size validation.
Inside hid_get_report(), if the report is numbered (report_enum->numbered
is true), it unconditionally dereferences data[0] to extract the report ID.
With a size of 0, this results in an out-of-bounds read or kernel panic.
Fix this by moving the numbered report size validation check before the
call to hid_get_report(), ensuring that size is at
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: fix parse_dcc() off-by-one OOB read
parse_dcc() treats data_end as an inclusive end pointer, but its only
caller passes data_limit = ib_ptr + datalen, which points one past the
last valid byte.
The newline search loop iterates while tmp <= data_end, so when no
newline is present, *tmp is read at tmp == data_end, one byte beyond
the region filled by skb_header_pointer().
irc_buffer is kmalloc'd as MAX_SEARCH_SIZE + 1 bytes and datalen is
capped at MAX_SEARCH_SIZE, so the stray read does not fault. The byte
is uninitialized or stale; if it cont
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/amd/lbr: Fix kernel address leakage
A user-only branch stack can contain branches that originate from
the kernel. As a result, kernel addresses are exposed to user space
even when PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER is requested. On AMD processors
supporting X86_FEATURE_AMD_LBR_V2, perf can still report SYSRET/ERET
entries for which the branch-from addresses are in the kernel.
E.g.
$ perf record -e cycles -o - -j any,save_type,u -- \
perf bench syscall basic --loop 1000 | \
perf script -i - -F brstack|tr ' ' '\n'| \
grep -E '0x[89a-f][0-9a-f]{15}'
batman-adv: gw: acquire ethernet header only after skb realloc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: gw: acquire ethernet header only after skb realloc
The pskb_may_pull() called by batadv_get_vid() could reallocate the buffer
behind the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer need to be
reassigned to avoid an use-after-free.

batman-adv: dat: ensure accessible eth_hdr proto field
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: dat: ensure accessible eth_hdr proto field
When batadv_get_vid() accesses the proto field of the ethernet header, it
is not checking if the data itself is accessible. The caller is responsible
for it. But in contrast to other call sites, batadv_dat_get_vid() and its
caller didn't make sure this is true. This could have caused an
out-of-bounds access.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in decompress_lznt
decompress_lznt() does not validate array index bounds before accessing
the decompression table. A corrupted NTFS3 image with invalid compressed
data can trigger an out-of-bounds read.
Add index bounds checking to prevent the OOB access.
mtd: maps: vmu-flash: fix NULL pointer dereference in initialization
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: maps: vmu-flash: fix NULL pointer dereference in initialization
The mtd_info contains a struct device, which must be linked to its
parent. Without this, the initialization of the MTD fails with a NULL
pointer dereference.
Input: ims-pcu - only expose sysfs attributes on control interface
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: ims-pcu - only expose sysfs attributes on control interface
When the driver was converted to use the driver core to instantiate device
attributes (via .dev_groups in the usb_driver structure), the attributes
started appearing on all interfaces bound to the driver. Since the ims-pcu
driver manually claims the secondary data interface during probe, the
driver core automatically creates the sysfs attributes for that interface
as well.
However, the driver only supports these attributes on the primary control
interface. Data interfaces lack the necessary descriptors and
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: ims-pcu - add response length checks
The driver processes response data from device buffers without verifying
that the device actually sent enough data. This can lead to
out-of-bounds reads or processing stale data.
Add checks for the expected response length before accessing the
buffers.
Input: ims-pcu - fix potential infinite loop in CDC union descriptor parsing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: ims-pcu - fix potential infinite loop in CDC union descriptor parsing
The driver parses CDC union descriptors in ims_pcu_get_cdc_union_desc()
by iterating through the extra descriptor data. However, it does not
verify that the bLength of each descriptor is at least 2. A malicious
device could provide a descriptor with bLength = 0, leading to an
infinite loop in the driver.
Add a check to ensure bLength is at least 2 before proceeding with
parsing.
hwmon: (asus_atk0110) Check package count before accessing element
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (asus_atk0110) Check package count before accessing element
atk_ec_present() walks the management group package returned by the GGRP
ACPI method and, for each sub-package, reads its first element:
id = &obj->package.elements[0];
if (id->type != ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER)
without checking that the sub-package is non-empty. ACPICA allocates the
element array with exactly package.count entries, so for a sub-package
with a zero count this reads past the allocation.
The sibling function atk_debugfs_ggrp_open() performs the same access but
skips empty packages with a package

which is now verified in damon_verify_new_region() if the kernel is built

The WARN_ONCE() can be triggered if the mtier sample module is enabled

inet: frags: strip GSO state from fragments before reassembly
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet: frags: strip GSO state from fragments before reassembly
A virtio_net_hdr (tun/tap, or AF_PACKET with PACKET_VNET_HDR) can mark
an IPv4 or IPv6 fragment as GSO; nothing relates gso_type to frag_off.
inet_frag_reasm_prepare()/inet_frag_reasm_finish() keep the first
fragment's skb as the head of the reassembled datagram, including its
shinfo->gso_size/gso_type/gso_segs, and chain the remaining fragments
on frag_list with whatever linear/paged layout they arrived with.
After ip_defrag() (ip_local_deliver(), nf_defrag_ipv4, ...) the
reassembled skb therefore still claims
block: stop the timeout timer when releasing a never added disk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: stop the timeout timer when releasing a never added disk
disk_release() undoes blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() for a disk whose
probe failed before add_disk(), but it only calls blk_mq_exit_queue().
Nothing there stops q->timeout, and that timer rolls forward: it stays
pending until it next expires, not until the last request completes.
So if the driver issued any I/O before adding the disk, the
request_queue is freed while still linked into a timer wheel bucket.
Commit 6f8191fdf41d ("block: simplify disk shutdown") dropped the
blk_cleanup_queue() call that used to st
mptcp: reclaim forward-allocated memory on RX path errors
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: reclaim forward-allocated memory on RX path errors
After commit 9db5b3cec4ec ("mptcp: borrow forward memory from subflow"),
errors in the receive path prior to queueing skbs into the receive
queue do not trigger forward-allocated memory reclaiming.
Prevent forward memory from growing unboundedly in pathological drop
scenarios by explicitly reclaiming memory when skbs are dropped.

mptcp: avoid combining some incoming suboptions
Some MPTCP suboptions are mutually exclusive according to the RFC8684,
but also because in different places, the code doesn't expect some
combinations to be present. That's specially true for suboptions that
would be present twice, but with different attributes.
The new restrictions are the same as the ones applied on the output
side, with mptcp_write_options. The same rules can be reused with a
small fix: an MP_FASTCLOSE can be used with a DSS when the sender picks
this option [1], which is not the case on Linux. Here are th

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: options: reset DSS fields in case of unexpected size
A remote peer could send a malformed DSS with a wrong size, followed by
another DSS or MPC + Data. In this case, the first suboption will be
ignored, but leaving some fields written, which could lead to
inconsistency or access uninitialized data.
Explicitly reset the fields that could have been modified in case of
unexpected size.
