vsock: Ignore signal/timeout on connect() if already established
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: Ignore signal/timeout on connect() if already established
During connect(), acting on a signal/timeout by disconnecting an already
established socket leads to several issues:
1. connect() invoking vsock_transport_cancel_pkt() ->
virtio_transport_purge_skbs() may race with sendmsg() invoking
virtio_transport_get_credit(). This results in a permanently elevated
`vvs->bytes_unsent`. Which, in turn, confuses the SOCK_LINGER handling.
2. connect() resetting a connected socket's state may race with socket
being placed in a sockmap. A disconnected socket remai

ocfs2: clear extent cache after moving/defragmenting extents
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: clear extent cache after moving/defragmenting extents
The extent map cache can become stale when extents are moved or
defragmented, causing subsequent operations to see outdated extent flags.
This triggers a BUG_ON in ocfs2_refcount_cal_cow_clusters().
The problem occurs when:
1. copy_file_range() creates a reflinked extent with OCFS2_EXT_REFCOUNTED
2. ioctl(FITRIM) triggers ocfs2_move_extents()
3. __ocfs2_move_extents_range() reads and caches the extent (flags=0x2)
4. ocfs2_move_extent()/ocfs2_defrag_extent() calls __ocfs2_move_extent()
which clears OCFS2_EXT_R
fuse: fix livelock in synchronous file put from fuseblk workers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: fix livelock in synchronous file put from fuseblk workers
I observed a hang when running generic/323 against a fuseblk server.
This test opens a file, initiates a lot of AIO writes to that file
descriptor, and closes the file descriptor before the writes complete.
Unsurprisingly, the AIO exerciser threads are mostly stuck waiting for
responses from the fuseblk server:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: delete x->tunnel as we delete x
The ipcomp fallback tunnels currently get deleted (from the various
lists and hashtables) as the last user state that needed that fallback
is destroyed (not deleted). If a reference to that user state still
exists, the fallback state will remain on the hashtables/lists,
triggering the WARN in xfrm_state_fini. Because of those remaining
references, the fix in commit f75a2804da39 ("xfrm: destroy xfrm_state
synchronously on net exit path") is not complete.
We recently fixed one such situation in TCP due to defered freeing of
skbs (commit
Improper handling of insufficient entropy in the AMD CPUs could allow a local attacker to influence the values returned by the RDSEED instruction, potentially resulting in the consumption of insufficiently random values.

ACPI: video: Fix use-after-free in acpi_video_switch_brightness()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: video: Fix use-after-free in acpi_video_switch_brightness()
The switch_brightness_work delayed work accesses device->brightness
and device->backlight, freed by acpi_video_dev_unregister_backlight()
during device removal.
If the work executes after acpi_video_bus_unregister_backlight()
frees these resources, it causes a use-after-free when
acpi_video_switch_brightness() dereferences device->brightness or
device->backlight.
Fix this by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() for each device's
switch_brightness_work in acpi_video_bus_remove_notify_handler()
after removing t
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been

btrfs: avoid potential out-of-bounds in btrfs_encode_fh()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: avoid potential out-of-bounds in btrfs_encode_fh()
The function btrfs_encode_fh() does not properly account for the three
cases it handles.
Before writing to the file handle (fh), the function only returns to the
user BTRFS_FID_SIZE_NON_CONNECTABLE (5 dwords, 20 bytes) or
BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE (8 dwords, 32 bytes).
However, when a parent exists and the root ID of the parent and the
inode are different, the function writes BTRFS_FID_SIZE_CONNECTABLE_ROOT
(10 dwords, 40 bytes).
If *max_len is not large enough, this write goes out of bounds because

To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant time.

Squashfs: reject negative file sizes in squashfs_read_inode()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: reject negative file sizes in squashfs_read_inode()
Syskaller reports a "WARNING in ovl_copy_up_file" in overlayfs.
This warning is ultimately caused because the underlying Squashfs file
system returns a file with a negative file size.
This commit checks for a negative file size and returns EINVAL.

ext4: avoid potential buffer over-read in parse_apply_sb_mount_options()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Unlike other strings in the ext4 superblock, we rely on tune2fs to
make sure s_mount_opts is NUL terminated. Harden
parse_apply_sb_mount_options() by treating s_mount_opts as a potential

xtensa: simdisk: add input size check in proc_write_simdisk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xtensa: simdisk: add input size check in proc_write_simdisk
A malicious user could pass an arbitrarily bad value

ext4: guard against EA inode refcount underflow in xattr update
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: guard against EA inode refcount underflow in xattr update
syzkaller found a path where ext4_xattr_inode_update_ref() reads an EA
inode refcount that is already <= 0 and then applies ref_change (often
-1). That lets the refcount underflow and we proceed with a bogus value,
triggering errors like:
EXT4-fs error: EA inode <n> ref underflow: ref_count=-1 ref_change=-1
EXT4-fs warning: ea_inode dec ref err=-117
Make the invariant explicit: if the current refcount is non-positive,
treat this as on-disk corruption, emit ext4_error_inode(), and fail the
operation with -

pid: Add a judgment for ns null in pid_nr_ns
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pid: Add a judgment for ns null in pid_nr_ns
__task_pid_nr_ns
ns = task_active_pid_ns(current);
pid_nr_ns(rcu_dereference(*task_pid_ptr(task, type)), ns);
if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) {
Sometimes null is returned for task_active_pid_ns. Then it will trigger kernel panic in pid_nr_ns.
For example:

ext4: detect invalid INLINE_DATA + EXTENTS flag combination
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: detect invalid INLINE_DATA + EXTENTS flag combination
syzbot reported a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() when opening a verity
file on a corrupted ext4 filesystem mounted without a journal.
The issue is that the filesystem has an inode with both the INLINE_DATA
and EXTENTS flags set:
EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_cache_extents:545: inode #15:
comm syz.0.17: corrupted extent tree: lblk 0 < prev 66
Investigation revealed that the inode has both flags set:

xen/events: Return -EEXIST for bound VIRQs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/events: Return -EEXIST for bound VIRQs
Change find_virq() to return -EEXIST when a VIRQ is bound to a
different CPU than the one passed in. With that, remove the BUG_ON()
from bind_virq_to_irq() to propogate the error upwards.
Some VIRQs are per-cpu, but others are per-domain or global. Those must
be bound to CPU0 and can then migrate elsewhere. The lookup for
per-domain and global will probably fail when migrated off CPU 0,
especially when the current CPU is tracked. This now returns -EEXIST
instead of BUG_ON().
A second call to bind a per-domain or global VIRQ i
