In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event()
The comment above bounce_error_event() documents that user clients
should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with the original event embedded
as variable-length data, while kernel clients should receive
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with a quoted kernel pointer.
However, the implementation unconditionally uses
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with data.quote.event set to the raw
struct snd_seq_event pointer for all clients. When a bounce error
event is delivered to a USER_CLIENT via snd_seq_read(), the kernel

spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size
The method the driver uses to determine the size of the FIFO has a
problem. What it currently does is this:
It stops the SPI hardware and writes to the TX FIFO register until TX
FIFO FULL asserts in the status register. But the hardware does not only
have the FIFO, it also has a shift register which can hold a byte. This
can be seen, when writing a byte to the FIFO (while the SPI hardware is
stopped,) the TX FIFO EMPTY is still empty. So, if we have a FIFO size
of 16 for example, the current method returns a
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

kcm: use WRITE_ONCE() when changing lower socket callbacks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: use WRITE_ONCE() when changing lower socket callbacks
kcm_attach() replaces a live lower TCP socket's sk_data_ready and
sk_write_space callbacks with KCM handlers, and kcm_unattach() restores
them later. Those callback-pointer updates are still plain stores even
though the same fields can be read and invoked concurrently on other
CPUs.
If another CPU observes an older callback snapshot after the live field
has already been restored, callback execution can run with a mismatched
target and sk_user_data state, leading to stale or misdirected wakeups.
Use WRITE_ONCE() fo
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: avoid stale FIFO cells during resize
snd_seq_fifo_resize() still needs to publish the replacement pool
before it waits for FIFO users. A blocking snd_seq_read() holds
f->use_lock while it sleeps, so concurrent senders must be able to
queue to the new pool and wake that reader instead of failing against a
closing old pool.
However, snd_seq_fifo_event_in() duplicates an event before it takes
f->lock, and snd_seq_read() can dequeue a cell and later call
snd_seq_fifo_cell_putback() if copy_to_user() or
snd_seq_expand_var_event() fails. If resize swaps f->pool and de

tipc: fix UAF in tipc_l2_send_msg()
Syzbot reported a slab-use-after-free in ipvlan_hard_header() when
called from tipc_l2_send_msg().
The root cause is that tipc_disable_l2_media() calls synchronize_net()
while b->media_ptr is still valid. This allows concurrent RCU readers
to obtain the device pointer after synchronize_net() has finished.
The pointer is cleared later in bearer_disable(), but without any
subsequent synchronization, allowing the device to be freed while
still in use by readers.
Fix this by clearing b->media_ptr in tipc_disable_l2_media() before
calling sy
tcp: ipv6: clamp default adverting MSS to avoid GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xFFFF)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: ipv6: clamp default adverting MSS to avoid GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xFFFF)
When MTU is large, ip6_default_advmss() can return IPV6_MAXPLEN (65535).
This is interpreted by TCP as mss_clamp, allowing the MSS to reach 65535.
However, 0xFFFF is also used as a magic value GSO_BY_FRAGS in the kernel.
If a TCP packet with gso_size=0xFFFF is passed to skb_segment(), it will
be mistakenly treated as GSO_BY_FRAGS, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference because local TCP packets do not use frag_list.
Fix this by returning min(IPV6_MAXPLEN, GSO_BY_FRAGS - 1) (65534) from

net: serialize netif_running() check in enqueue_to_backlog()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: serialize netif_running() check in enqueue_to_backlog()
Syzbot reported a KASAN slab-use-after-free in fib_rules_lookup().
The root cause is a race condition where packets can escape the backlog
flushing during device unregistration (e.g., during netns exit).
Commit e9e4dd3267d0 ("net: do not process device backlog during unregistration")
introduced a lockless netif_running() check in enqueue_to_backlog() to
prevent queuing packets to an unregistering device.
However, this creates a TOCTOU race window.

staging: nvec: fix use-after-free in nvec_rx_completed()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: nvec: fix use-after-free in nvec_rx_completed()
In nvec_rx_completed(), when an incomplete RX transfer is detected,
nvec_msg_free() is called to return the message back to the pool by
clearing its 'used' atomic flag. Immediately after this, the code
accesses nvec->rx->data[0] to check the message type.
Since nvec_msg_free() marks the pool slot as available via atomic_set(),
any concurrent or subsequent call to nvec_msg_alloc() could claim that
same slot and overwrite its data[] array. Reading nvec->rx->data[0] after
freeing the message is therefore a use-after-fre

comp_register_videodev() allocates a video_device with

This can double free the video_device when __video_register_device()

usb: host: max3421: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in max3421_hub_control()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: host: max3421: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in max3421_hub_control()
The `max3421_hub_control()` function handles USB hub class requests
to the virtual root hub. In the `default` branches of both the
`ClearPortFeature` and `SetPortFeature` switch statements, it modifies
`max3421_hcd->port_status` by left shifting 1 by the request's `value`
parameter. However, it does not validate whether this shift will exceed
the width of `port_status`.
So if a malicious userspace task with access to the root hub via

iio: magnetometer: ak8975: fix potential kernel stack memory leak
Currently in the AK8975 driver there are four instances where potential
uninitialized kernel stack memory leaks can occur. If
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() returns a value less than
the size of the buffer, uninitialized bytes are retained in the buffer
and later the buffer is passed on to IIO buffers, potentially leaking
memory to userspace.
Fix this by adding checks whether the return value of the function is
equal to the size of the buffer and subsequently if the value is
lesser than zero to

iio: accel: mma8452: handle I2C read error(s) in mma8452_read()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: mma8452: handle I2C read error(s) in mma8452_read()
Currently, If i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() fails but
mma8452_set_runtime_pm_state() succeeds, mma8452_read() returns 0.
As a result, the caller mma8452_read_raw() assumes the read was
successful and proceeds to use a buffer containing uninitialized
stack memory.
Add proper checking of the I2C read return value and propagate errors
to the caller.

dmaengine: Fix possible use after free
In dma_release_channel(), check chan->device->privatecnt after call
dma_chan_put(). However, dma_chan_put() call dma_device_put() which could
release the last reference of the device if the DMA provider is already
gone and hence free it.
Fixes it by moving dma_chan_put() after the check.
nfs: use nfsi->rwsem to protect traversal of the file lock list
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: use nfsi->rwsem to protect traversal of the file lock list
Lingfeng identified a bug and suggested two solutions, but both appear
to have issues.
Generally, we cannot release flc_lock while iterating over the file lock
list to avoid use-after-free (UAF) problems with file locks. However,
functions like nfs_delegation_claim_locks and nfs4_reclaim_locks cannot
adhere to this rule because recover_lock or nfs4_lock_delegation_recall
may take a long time. To resolve this, NFS switches to using nfsi->rwsem
for the same protection, and nfs_reclaim_locks follows this approach

the Receive queue.
First, the speculative peek
p = xdr_inline_decode(xdr, 0);

apparmor: check label build before no_new_privs test
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: check label build before no_new_privs test
aa_change_profile() builds a replacement label with
fn_label_build_in_scope() before the no_new_privs subset check. The build
helper can fail and return NULL or an ERR_PTR, but the result was passed
to aa_label_is_unconfined_subset() before the existing IS_ERR_OR_NULL()
check.
Reuse the existing target-label build failure handling immediately after
the build. This preserves the current audit handling while preventing the
subset helper from dereferencing an invalid label.
apparmor: aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure
aa_label_alloc() allocates a secid before allocating or taking the label
proxy. If the later proxy step fails, the error path only freed the label
memory, leaking any resources initialized by aa_label_init().
Use aa_label_free() on the failure path so partially initialized labels
release their secid and other label resources before the backing memory is
freed.

sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag
SCTP_DIAG endpoint dumping was traversing endpoint address lists without
holding lock_sock(), while those lists could change concurrently via
socket operations (e.g., bindx changes). This creates a race where
nla_reserve() counts addresses under RCU protection, but the subsequent
copy may see fewer entries, potentially leaking uninitialized memory to
userspace.
Fix this by:
- Taking a reference on each endpoint during hash traversal
- Moving socket operations (lock_sock()) outside read_lock_bh()
- Serializing addr
