s390/cio: use generic driver_override infrastructure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cio: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.
Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1]
wifi: rtlwifi: pci: fix possible use-after-free caused by unfinished irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtlwifi: pci: fix possible use-after-free caused by unfinished irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet
The irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet is initialized in rtl_pci_init() and
scheduled when RTL_IMR_BCNINT interrupt is triggered by hardware.
But it is never killed in rtl_pci_deinit(). When the rtlwifi card
probe fails or is being detached, the ieee80211_hw is deallocated.
However, irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet may still be running or pending,
leading to use-after-free when the freed ieee80211_hw is accessed
in _rtl_pci_prepare_bcn_tasklet().
Similar to irq_tasklet, add tasklet_kill() in rtl_pci_d
bpf: test_run: Fix the null pointer dereference issue in bpf_lwt_xmit_push_encap
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: test_run: Fix the null pointer dereference issue in bpf_lwt_xmit_push_encap
The bpf_lwt_xmit_push_encap helper needs to access skb_dst(skb)->dev to
calculate the needed headroom:
err = skb_cow_head(skb,
len + LL_RESERVED_SPACE(skb_dst(skb)->dev));
But skb->_skb_refdst may not be initialized when the skb is set up by
bpf_prog_test_run_skb function. Executing bpf_lwt_push_ip_encap function
in this scenario will trigger null pointer dereference, causing a kernel
crash as Yinhao reported:
[ 105.186365] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: pull headers in qdisc_pkt_len_segs_init()
Most ndo_start_xmit() methods expects headers of gso packets
to be already in skb->head.
net/core/tso.c users are particularly at risk, because tso_build_hdr()
does a memcpy(hdr, skb->data, hdr_len);
qdisc_pkt_len_segs_init() already does a dissection of gso packets.
Use pskb_may_pull() instead of skb_header_pointer() to make
sure drivers do not have to reimplement this.
Some malicious packets could be fed, detect them so that we can
drop them sooner with a new SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_BAD_GSO drop_reason.
bpf: Fix use-after-free in offloaded map/prog info fill
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix use-after-free in offloaded map/prog info fill
When querying info for an offloaded BPF map or program,
bpf_map_offload_info_fill_ns() and bpf_prog_offload_info_fill_ns()
obtain the network namespace with get_net(dev_net(offmap->netdev)).
However, the associated netdev's netns may be racing with teardown
during netns destruction. If the netns refcount has already reached 0,
get_net() performs a refcount_t increment on 0, triggering:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
Although rtnl_lock and bpf_devs_lock ensure the netdev pointer remains
valid, they canno
net: bcmgenet: fix off-by-one in bcmgenet_put_txcb
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmgenet: fix off-by-one in bcmgenet_put_txcb
The write_ptr points to the next open tx_cb. We want to return the
tx_cb that gets rewinded, so we must rewind the pointer first then
return the tx_cb that it points to. That way the txcb can be correctly
cleaned up.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmgenet: fix racing timeout handler
The bcmgenet_timeout handler tries to take down all tx queues when
a single queue times out. This is over zealous and causes many race
conditions with queues that are still chugging along. Instead lets
only restart the timed out queue.
net: hamradio: 6pack: fix uninit-value in sixpack_receive_buf
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hamradio: 6pack: fix uninit-value in sixpack_receive_buf
sixpack_receive_buf() does not properly skip bytes with TTY error flags.
The while loop iterates through the flags buffer but never advances the
data pointer (cp), and passes the original count (including error bytes)
to sixpack_decode(). This causes sixpack_decode() to process bytes that
should have been skipped due to TTY errors. The TTY layer does not
guarantee that cp[i] holds a meaningful value when fp[i] is set, so
passing those positions to sixpack_decode() results in KMSAN reporting
an uninit-value read.
net/sched: cls_fw: fix NULL dereference of "old" filters before change()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_fw: fix NULL dereference of "old" filters before change()
Like pointed out by Sashiko [1], since commit ed76f5edccc9 ("net: sched:
protect filter_chain list with filter_chain_lock mutex") TC filters are
added to a shared block and published to datapath before their ->change()
function is called. This is a problem for cls_fw: an invalid filter
created with the "old" method can still classify some packets before it
is destroyed by the validation logic added by Xiang.
Therefore, insisting with repeated runs of the following script:

bpf: Fix same-register dst/src OOB read and pointer leak in sock_ops
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix same-register dst/src OOB read and pointer leak in sock_ops
When a BPF sock_ops program accesses ctx fields with dst_reg == src_reg,
the SOCK_OPS_GET_SK() and SOCK_OPS_GET_FIELD() macros fail to zero the
destination register in the !fullsock / !locked_tcp_sock path.
Both macros borrow a temporary register to check is_fullsock /
is_locked_tcp_sock when dst_reg == src_reg, because dst_reg holds the
ctx pointer. When the check is false (e.g., TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV state with
a request_sock), dst_reg should be zeroed but is not, leaving the stale
ctx pointer:

net/rds: Restrict use of RDS/IB to the initial network namespace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rds: Restrict use of RDS/IB to the initial network namespace
Prevent using RDS/IB in network namespaces other than the initial one.
The existing RDS/IB code will not work properly in non-initial network
namespaces.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix OOB in pcpu_init_value
An out-of-bounds read occurs when copying element from a
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE map to another pcpu map with the
same value_size that is not rounded up to 8 bytes.
The issue happens when:
1. A CGROUP_STORAGE map is created with value_size not aligned to
8 bytes (e.g., 4 bytes)
2. A pcpu map is created with the same value_size (e.g., 4 bytes)
3. Update element in 2 with data in 1
pcpu_init_value assumes that all sources are rounded up to 8 bytes,
and invokes copy_map_value_long to make a data copy, However, the
assumption doesn't sta
ppp: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in target netns for unattached ioctls
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in target netns for unattached ioctls
/dev/ppp open is currently authorized against file->f_cred->user_ns,
while unattached administrative ioctls operate on current->nsproxy->net_ns.
As a result, a local unprivileged user can create a new user namespace
with CLONE_NEWUSER, gain CAP_NET_ADMIN only in that new user namespace,
and still issue PPPIOCNEWUNIT, PPPIOCATTACH, or PPPIOCATTCHAN against
an inherited network namespace.
Require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the user namespace that owns the target network
namespace before handling unattached PPP administr
Bluetooth: fix locking in hci_conn_request_evt() with HCI_PROTO_DEFER
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix locking in hci_conn_request_evt() with HCI_PROTO_DEFER
When protocol sets HCI_PROTO_DEFER, hci_conn_request_evt() calls
hci_connect_cfm(conn) without hdev->lock. Generally hci_connect_cfm()
assumes it is held, and if conn is deleted concurrently -> UAF.
Only SCO and ISO set HCI_PROTO_DEFER and only for defer setup listen,
and HCI_EV_CONN_REQUEST is not generated for ISO. In the non-deferred
listening socket code paths, hci_connect_cfm(conn) is called with
hdev->lock held.
Fix by holding the lock.
drm/komeda: fix integer overflow in AFBC framebuffer size check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/komeda: fix integer overflow in AFBC framebuffer size check
The AFBC framebuffer size validation calculates the minimum required
buffer size by adding the AFBC payload size to the framebuffer offset.
This addition is performed without checking for integer overflow.
If the addition oveflows, the size check may incorrectly succed and
allow userspace to provide an undersized drm_gem_object, potentially
leading to out-of-bounds memory access.
Add usage of check_add_overflow() to safely compute the minimum
required size and reject the framebuffer if an overflow is detected

dm cache: fix null-deref with concurrent writes in passthrough mode
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix null-deref with concurrent writes in passthrough mode
In passthrough mode, when dm-cache starts to invalidate a cache
entry and bio prison cell lock fails due to concurrent write to
the same cached block, mg->cell remains NULL. The error path in
invalidate_complete() attempts to unlock and free the cell
unconditionally, causing a NULL pointer dereference:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix write hang in passthrough mode
The invalidate_remove() function has incomplete logic for handling write
hit bios after cache invalidation. It sets up the remapping for the
overwrite_bio but then drops it immediately without submission, causing
write operations to hang.
Fix by adding a new invalidate_committed() continuation that submits
the remapped writes to the cache origin after metadata commit completes,
while using the overwrite_endio hook to ensure proper completion
sequencing. This maintains existing coherency. Also improve error
handling in invalidate
