drm/exynos: vidi: fix to avoid directly dereferencing user pointer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/exynos: vidi: fix to avoid directly dereferencing user pointer
In vidi_connection_ioctl(), vidi->edid(user pointer) is directly
dereferenced in the kernel.
This allows arbitrary kernel memory access from the user space, so instead
of directly accessing the user pointer in the kernel, we should modify it
to copy edid to kernel memory using copy_from_user() and use it.
iommu/vt-d: Clear Present bit before tearing down context entry
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Clear Present bit before tearing down context entry
When tearing down a context entry, the current implementation zeros the
entire 128-bit entry using multiple 64-bit writes. This creates a window
where the hardware can fetch a "torn" entry — where some fields are
already zeroed while the 'Present' bit is still set — leading to
unpredictable behavior or spurious faults.
While x86 provides strong write ordering, the compiler may reorder writes
to the two 64-bit halves of the context entry. Even without compiler
reordering, the hardware fetch is not guaranteed to
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix e4b bitmap inconsistency reports
A bitmap inconsistency issue was observed during stress tests under
mixed huge-page workloads. Ext4 reported multiple e4b bitmap check
failures like:
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group:2508: group 350, 8179 free clusters as
per group info. But got 8192 blocks
Analysis and experimentation confirmed that the issue is caused by a
race condition between page migration and bitmap modification. Although
this timing window is extremely narrow, it is still hit in practice:

tpm: tpm_i2c_infineon: Fix locality leak on get_burstcount() failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: tpm_i2c_infineon: Fix locality leak on get_burstcount() failure
get_burstcount() can return -EBUSY on timeout. When this happens, the
function returns directly without releasing the locality that was
acquired at the beginning of tpm_tis_i2c_send().
Use goto out_err to ensure proper cleanup when get_burstcount() fails.
power: supply: goldfish: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: goldfish: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler h
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: catc: enable basic endpoint checking
catc_probe() fills three URBs with hardcoded endpoint pipes without
verifying the endpoint descriptors:
- usb_sndbulkpipe(usbdev, 1) and usb_rcvbulkpipe(usbdev, 1) for TX/RX
- usb_rcvintpipe(usbdev, 2) for interrupt status
A malformed USB device can present these endpoints with transfer types
that differ from what the driver assumes.
Add a catc_usb_ep enum for endpoint numbers, replacing magic constants
throughout. Add usb_check_bulk_endpoints() and usb_check_int_endpoints()
calls after usb_set_interface() to verify endp
ext4: fix dirtyclusters double decrement on fs shutdown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix dirtyclusters double decrement on fs shutdown
fstests test generic/388 occasionally reproduces a warning in
ext4_put_super() associated with the dirty clusters count:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 76064 at fs/ext4/super.c:1324 ext4_put_super+0x48c/0x590 [ext4]
Tracing the failure shows that the warning fires due to an
s_dirtyclusters_counter value of -1. IOW, this appears to be a
spurious decrement as opposed to some sort of leak. Further tracing
of the dirty cluster count deltas and an LLM scan of the resulting
output identified the cause as a double decrement in the
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: do not keep dest_dst if dev is going down
There is race between the netdev notifier ip_vs_dst_event()
and the code that caches dst with dev that is going down.
As the FIB can be notified for the closed device after our
handler finishes, it is possible valid route to be returned
and cached resuling in a leaked dev reference until the dest
is not removed.
To prevent new dest_dst to be attached to dest just after the
handler dropped the old one, add a netif_running() check
to make sure the notifier handler is not currently running
for device that is closing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fat: avoid parent link count underflow in rmdir
Corrupted FAT images can leave a directory inode with an incorrect
i_nlink (e.g. 2 even though subdirectories exist). rmdir then
unconditionally calls drop_nlink(dir) and can drive i_nlink to 0,
triggering the WARN_ON in drop_nlink().
Add a sanity check in vfat_rmdir() and msdos_rmdir(): only drop the
parent link count when it is at least 3, otherwise report a filesystem
error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't cache extent during splitting extent
Caching extents during the splitting process is risky, as it may result
in stale extents remaining in the status tree. Moreover, in most cases,
the corresponding extent block entries are likely already cached before
the split happens, making caching here not particularly useful.
Assume we have an unwritten extent, and then DIO writes the first half.

xfrm: fix ip_rt_bug race in icmp_route_lookup reverse path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix ip_rt_bug race in icmp_route_lookup reverse path
icmp_route_lookup() performs multiple route lookups to find a suitable
route for sending ICMP error messages, with special handling for XFRM
(IPsec) policies.
The lookup sequence is:
1. First, lookup output route for ICMP reply (dst = original src)
2. Pass through xfrm_lookup() for policy check
3. If blocked (-EPERM) or dst is not local, enter "reverse path"
4. In reverse path, call xfrm_decode_session_reverse() to get fl4_dec
which reverses the original packet's flow (saddr<->daddr swapped)
5. If fl4_dec.saddr
ext4: drop extent cache when splitting extent fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: drop extent cache when splitting extent fails
When the split extent fails, we might leave some extents still being
processed and return an error directly, which will result in stale
extent entries remaining in the extent status tree. So drop all of the
remaining potentially stale extents if the splitting fails.
SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths
The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name()
functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls
kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these
functions return immediately without freeing previously
allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.
The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because
the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several
buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory
allocation:
struct gssx_ctx rctxh = {

power: supply: wm97xx: Fix NULL pointer dereference in power_supply_changed()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: wm97xx: Fix NULL pointer dereference in power_supply_changed()
In `probe()`, `request_irq()` is called before allocating/registering a
`power_supply` handle. If an interrupt is fired between the call to
`request_irq()` and `power_supply_register()`, the `power_supply` handle
will be used uninitialized in `power_supply_changed()` in
`wm97xx_bat_update()` (triggered from the interrupt handler). This will
lead to a `NULL` pointer dereference since
Fix this racy `NULL` pointer dereference by making sure the IRQ is
requested _after_ the registration of the `power
pinctrl: single: fix refcount leak in pcs_add_gpio_func()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: single: fix refcount leak in pcs_add_gpio_func()
of_parse_phandle_with_args() returns a device_node pointer with refcount
incremented in gpiospec.np. The loop iterates through all phandles but
never releases the reference, causing a refcount leak on each iteration.
Add of_node_put() calls to release the reference after extracting the
needed arguments and on the error path when devm_kzalloc() fails.
This bug was detected by our static analysis tool and verified by my
code review.

ext4: don't zero the entire extent if EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't zero the entire extent if EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1
When allocating initialized blocks from a large unwritten extent, or
when splitting an unwritten extent during end I/O and converting it to
initialized, there is currently a potential issue of stale data if the
extent needs to be split in the middle.

scsi: csiostor: Fix dereference of null pointer rn
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: csiostor: Fix dereference of null pointer rn
The error exit path when rn is NULL ends up deferencing the null pointer rn
via the use of the macro CSIO_INC_STATS. Fix this by adding a new error
return path label after the use of the macro to avoid the deference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: skip ipv6 extension headers for csum checks
Protocol checksum validation fails for IPv6 if there are extension
headers before the protocol header. iph->len already contains its
offset, so use it to fix the problem.
