In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvdimm: pmem: keep PREFLUSH before data writes
pmem_submit_bio() records a REQ_PREFLUSH error, but continues to copy the
bio data and can later overwrite the error with a successful REQ_FUA flush.
That lets data writes run after a failed preflush and can complete the bio
successfully despite the failed ordering barrier.
Run the REQ_PREFLUSH flush synchronously before touching the bio data and
complete the bio with the flush error if it fails. Keep asynchronous flush
chaining for REQ_FUA. At that point, data copy has completed and the parent
bio can wait for the chained flu
staging: rtl8723bs: fix mismatched free of HalData in rtw_sdio_if1_init()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix mismatched free of HalData in rtw_sdio_if1_init()
padapter->HalData is allocated via vzalloc(), but incorrectly freed
using kfree() in the rtw_sdio_if1_init() error path. Using kfree() to
release this vmalloc-backed buffer can lead to memory corruption.
Use rtw_hal_data_deinit() to pair the free correctly and free
HalData with vfree().
The bug was first flagged by an experimental static analysis tool we
are developing for kernel memory-management bugs. Manual inspection
confirms that the issue is still present in current mainline.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Recover HW before retire hung submit
During recovery, it is not safe to retire the hung submit before we
recover the GPU. Retiring the submit triggers BO free and that can
result in GPU pagefaults since the GPU may be actively accessing those
BOs.
To fix this, retire the submits after gpu recovery is complete in
recover_worker().

staging: rtl8723bs: fix xmit_frame/xmit_buf leaks on mgnt-frame error paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix xmit_frame/xmit_buf leaks on mgnt-frame error paths
issue_beacon(), issue_probersp() and issue_asocrsp() obtain a management
xmit_frame together with its xmit_buf from the driver's fixed-size
management-TX pools via alloc_mgtxmitframe(). On the normal path the frame
is handed to dump_mgntframe(), which transfers ownership and eventually
returns both objects to their pools (the frame and, for beacons, the buf
in rtl8723bs_mgnt_xmit(); other bufs via the pending-xmitbuf/TX-completion
path).
Several error/edge paths return early after a successful

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Fix srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() unwind counters
When srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() fails partway through a multi-buffer indirect
descriptor, the unwind path destroys RDMA contexts but leaves stale
n_rw_ctx and n_rdma values (and a dangling rw_ctxs pointer). Later
sq_wr_avail accounting in srpt_queue_response() or srpt_write_pending()
can then subtract the wrong number of send queue credits.
Reset the counters and clear rw_ctxs after freeing the heap
allocation before returning an error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: platform: Use acpi_bus_get_primary_device()
The acpi_get_first_physical_node() usage in acpi_platform_fill_resource()
and acpi_create_platform_device() is generally unsafe because in theory
the device returned by it may be freed at any time [1].
It is also inefficient because acpi_get_first_physical_node() is called
multiple times for the same argument which can be avoided.
Address these issues by using acpi_bus_get_primary_device() instead of
acpi_get_first_physical_node() and adjusting the code to call it just
once at the beginning of and acpi_create_platform_devi
net: hsr: free learned nodes on device setup failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: free learned nodes on device setup failure
hsr_dev_finalize() can fail after a lower-device RX handler has
already been registered (slave A is added before the failable slave B
and interlink adds). RX handlers run in softirq regardless of the
master's state, so frames received in that window can learn dynamic
nodes into node_db, and the error unwind never releases them.
Free both owned dynamic databases in the unwind, mirroring
hsr_dellink(). proxy_node_db is provably empty on every current error
exit (only interlink RX feeds it, and the interlink add is the last
netfilter: nf_nat_sip: rewind offset when NAT shrinks the packet
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_nat_sip: rewind offset when NAT shrinks the packet
sashiko says:
If map_addr() changes the packet length, such as when the public NAT IP
string is shorter or longer than the internal IP, coff will still point to
the offset relative to the pre-mangled packet.
If the packet shrinks, coff could overshoot the correct position,
potentially causing the next ct_sip_parse_header_uri() call to silently
skip bytes and miss subsequent Contact headers. Could this lead to a
failure to NAT those subsequent headers and leak internal network details?
ppp_async: drop the errored frame instead of resetting its headroom
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp_async: drop the errored frame instead of resetting its headroom
ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() prepends a two-byte direction tag before running
the pass/active BPF filters:
*(__be16 *)skb_push(skb, 2) = htons(PPP_FILTER_INBOUND_TAG);
Nothing on the receive path guarantees those two bytes of headroom. The
frame-error path in ppp_async's process_input_packet() resets a reused skb's
headroom to zero while claiming to restore it to a freshly allocated state -
but a fresh skb from dev_alloc_skb() carries NET_SKB_PAD:
err:

EDAC/device_sysfs: Use kstrtouint() for poll_msec to prevent truncation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/device_sysfs: Use kstrtouint() for poll_msec to prevent truncation
The poll_msec sysfs store file uses simple_strtoul() which accepts an unsigned
long, but the target field (poll_msec) is unsigned int. On 64-bit systems,
a value > UINT_MAX is silently truncated when stored.
Fix the mismatch by using kstrtouint() instead. This rejects values larger
than UINT_MAX at parse time, making truncation impossible. Also add a check
for value < 1 to reject the 0-delay case, which would cause the poll work to
spin without delay and consume 100% CPU.
drm/virtio: use the DMA API for resource backing on Xen
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: use the DMA API for resource backing on Xen
On a Xen PV domain page addresses bear no relation to the real machine
addresses the host would have to use to reach it.
virtio_ring.c handles this correctly, vring_use_map_api() returns true
for any xen_domain() regardless of VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM.
virtio-gpu makes the same decision independently, but its copy
looks only at the feature bit:
bool use_dma_api = !virtio_has_dma_quirk(vgdev->vdev);
QEMU does not set iommu_platform on virtio-vga by default, so
VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM is not negotiated, use_dma_api
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/cirrus-qemu: Validate BAR0 size during probe
The `cirrus-qemu` driver relies on `CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE` (4 MB) to validate
framebuffer sizes. However, during PCI probe, the driver mapped BAR0
without verifying that its size matches `CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE`.
If a PCI device with a BAR0 smaller than 4 MB is bound to the driver, the
mapped VRAM will be smaller than expected. Because validation checks assume
4 MB VRAM, framebuffers larger than the mapped memory can be created.
When the display plane is updated (e.g. during release),
`cirrus_primary_plane_helper_atomic_update()` copi
net: stmmac: fix dma mapping leak in stmmac_tso_xmit()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: fix dma mapping leak in stmmac_tso_xmit()
In stmmac_tso_xmit(), if the DMA mapping of an skb fragment fails, the
frame is dropped but the DMA mappings already created for the linear
part and for the fragments mapped before the failure are never
unmapped, leaking DMA mappings.
Fix the leak by walking back over the descriptors used by the frame and
releasing each of them with stmmac_free_tx_buffer(). Moreover, release
the descriptors with stmmac_release_tx_desc() unmapping the DMA buffers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix a TOCTOU race in SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START
The SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START handler checks timer_pending() before calling
timer_reduce(). The timer can expire and detach between these operations,
causing timer_reduce() to rearm the timer without taking the association
reference required for the newly armed timer.
The timer callback later unconditionally drops its association reference,
which can leave the association reference count unbalanced and result in
use-after-free during association teardown.
Use the return value of timer_reduce() to determine whether the timer was

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: validate new EOF for zero range
When FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is used without FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE,
smb3_zero_range() may extend EOF without checking RLIMIT_FSIZE, allowing
the file to grow beyond the caller's file-size limit.
Fix this by calling inode_newsize_ok() before sending the zero-range
request when the operation would extend EOF.
Reproducer, using a file on a CIFS mount:
bash -c '

smb/client: invalidate fscache for fallocate range operations
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: invalidate fscache for fallocate range operations
smb3_zero_range(), smb3_punch_hole(), smb3_insert_range(), and
smb3_collapse_range() modify file contents through server-side range
operations. These operations discard the affected page cache, but leave
the FS-Cache cookie valid, so a later read may return data cached before
the range operation.
Fix this by invalidating FS-Cache after outstanding I/O has completed
and before modifying the file on the server.
Run the following as root on a CIFS mount with fsc enabled and an active

sctp: fix soft lockup from unpadded ASCONF-ACK parameter iteration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix soft lockup from unpadded ASCONF-ACK parameter iteration
sctp_verify_asconf() walks ASCONF-ACK parameters with
sctp_walk_params(), which advances by SCTP_PAD4(length), while the
consumer sctp_get_asconf_response() iterates the same parameters
advancing by the raw length, without padding. A single odd-length
parameter desynchronises the two walks and makes the consumer
interpret attacker-controlled bytes at a misaligned offset.
When those bytes yield a length of zero, the while loop over
asconf_ack_len makes no progress, spinning forever in softirq
context, and th
net/sched: cls_u32: fix duplicate handle when node ID pool is exhausted
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_u32: fix duplicate handle when node ID pool is exhausted
gen_new_kid() falls back to returning max (htid | 0xFFF) when both
idr_alloc_u32() ranges are full, instead of reporting an error.
u32_change() trusts that value and inserts a new knode with a handle
that is already live in the hash table, breaking handle uniqueness
within the table's node ID space.
The handle was never reserved in ht->handle_idr, so every later error
path that does idr_remove(&ht->handle_idr, handle) removes the
reservation of a different, live knode, which is then reused — one

ipv6: mcast: use rcu_assign_pointer() for __rcu list updates
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: use rcu_assign_pointer() for __rcu list updates
Several places in net/ipv6/mcast.c update RCU-protected lists
(np->ipv6_mc_list, idev->mc_list, idev->mc_tomb) using direct pointer
assignments instead of rcu_assign_pointer():
1. In __ipv6_dev_mc_dec(), unlinking a group from idev->mc_list did:
*map = ma->next;
without rcu_assign_pointer() while concurrent readers traverse
idev->mc_list locklessly under rcu_read_lock().

from np->ipv6_mc_list directly assigned *lnk = mc_lst->n
tipc: fix NULL deref in tipc_named_node_up() on empty publication list
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix NULL deref in tipc_named_node_up() on empty publication list
User-space applications can bind a large number of service addresses to
one or more sockets. Each binding of a local-scope service address inserts
one entry (publication) into the TIPC name table. If the number of these
publications exceeds TIPC_MAX_PUBL (65535), protocol service types
(such as node state and link state) are no longer inserted into the name
table. This causes two issues:
1. User-space applications subscribing to node or link up/down events
stop receiving notifications.
