staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in WMM_param_handler()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in WMM_param_handler()
WMM_param_handler() copies a fixed-size WMM parameter element out of a
received information element without checking that the element is long
enough, causing an out-of-bounds read for a short WMM IE.
The handler reads sizeof(struct WMM_para_element) (18) bytes at
pIE->data + 6, so it requires pIE->length to be at least 24
(WLAN_WMM_LEN), but it never validates the length. Two of its three
callers reach it after matching only the WMM OUI: OnAssocRsp() in
rtw_mlme_ext.c matches a 6-byte OUI, and join_cmd_hdl() matches a
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix missing shared-key auth challenge length check
The WEP shared-key authentication handler uses the challenge-text
element's attacker-controlled length without checking it against the
fixed 128-byte chg_txt buffer.
In OnAuthClient() the length from rtw_get_ie() - up to 255 - is used
to perform memcpy() into the 128-byte pmlmeinfo->chg_txt, so a
malicious AP sending a malformed WLAN_EID_CHALLENGE element can
overflow/underfill chg_txt by up to 127 bytes. It is reachable over the
air, before association, during shared-key authentication. In the case

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: validate monitor transmit frame lengths
rtw_cfg80211_monitor_if_xmit_entry() removes the radiotap header and
then reads the 802.11 frame control field without checking that a base
802.11 header remains.
The data path also pulls the calculated 802.11, QoS and SNAP header
span before confirming that the skb contains it. A truncated frame can
therefore cause out-of-bounds reads or leave insufficient data for the
Ethernet address writes.
Reject frames that do not contain the base 802.11 header and data
frames that do not contain their complete calculated h
misc: fastrpc: Remove buffer from list prior to unmap operation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Remove buffer from list prior to unmap operation
fastrpc_req_munmap_impl() is called to unmap any buffer. The buffer is
getting removed from the list after it is unmapped from DSP. This can
create potential race conditions if multiple threads invoke unmap
concurrently, where one thread may remove the entry from the list while
another thread's unmap operation is still ongoing.
Fix this by removing the buffer entry from the list before calling the
unmap operation. If the unmap fails, the entry is re-added to the list
so that userspace can retry the unmap, or a
misc: fastrpc: take fl->lock when moving mmaps on interrupted invoke
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: take fl->lock when moving mmaps on interrupted invoke
When an invoke is interrupted by a signal,
wait_for_completion_interruptible() returns -ERESTARTSYS and
fastrpc_internal_invoke() moves every buffer from fl->mmaps onto
cctx->invoke_interrupted_mmaps. This list_del()/list_add_tail() walk
runs without holding fl->lock, the lock that serialises fl->mmaps in
fastrpc_req_mmap() and fastrpc_req_munmap() everywhere else.
Take fl->lock around the move, matching every other fl->mmaps accessor.
mm/damon/ops-common: putback folios on invalid migrate nid
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/ops-common: putback folios on invalid migrate nid
damon_pa_migrate() and damos_va_migrate() isolate folios into a local list
and then call damon_migrate_pages(). When target_nid is invalid
(including the scheme default NUMA_NO_NODE / -1), damon_migrate_pages()
returns early without putting the folios back to the LRU.
Callers then discard the list head while those folios remain isolated with
an extra reference taken by folio_isolate_lru(). The pages stay off the
LRU for as long as the mapping exists (anon active+inactive counts drop
while RSS does not), and the l
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usx2y: bound the hwdep mmap fault offset
snd_us428ctls_vm_fault() turns the faulting page offset into a kernel
address with no bound of any kind:
offset = vmf->pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;
vaddr = (char *)(...)->us428ctls_sharedmem + offset;
page = virt_to_page(vaddr);
get_page(page);
vmf->page = page;
return 0;
snd_us428ctls_mmap() checks only the length of the mapping, never the
offset, and us428ctls_sharedmem is a single page from
alloc_pages_exact(). For a character device file_mmap_size_max()
returns ULONG_MAX, so the mm layer imposes no ceiling either. Every

drm/v3d: Serialize the scheduler timeout handlers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Serialize the scheduler timeout handlers
V3D exposes several independent hardware queues (BIN, RENDER, TFU and
CSD) but has only a single, global reset. A timeout on any one queue
therefore has to stop, reset and restart the schedulers of every other
queue as well. That makes concurrent timeout handlers unsafe.
`reset_lock` was never able to make them safe, as a driver-side lock can
only cover the driver's &drm_sched_backend_ops.timedout_job callback.
The scheduler handles the timed out job and its pending list around that
callback, outside of the driver's control
perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detach
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detach
perf_group_detach() handles leader and sibling detach differently. When the
group leader is detached, all siblings are promoted to singleton events and
their group_leader pointer is reset to themselves. When a sibling is
detached, it is removed from the leader's sibling_list, but its
group_leader pointer is left pointing at the old leader.
That is harmless when the sibling is being closed and freed immediately, as
in the DETACH_DEAD path. It is not safe when the sibling is detached but
kept alive, such as duri

fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_cursor()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_cursor()
bit_cursor() fetches the glyph under the cursor with
c = scr_readw(vc_pos);
src = vc_font.data + ((c & charmask) * w * height);
where charmask is 0x1ff when vc_hi_font_mask is set. The screen buffer
value comes directly from scr_readw() and may be larger than the current
font's glyph count.
Syzkaller triggers this via vcs_write(). The Call Trace shows
vcs_write() in vc_screen.c writing an arbitrary 16-bit value with
writev() to /dev/vcsa, which vcs_write_buf() in vc_screen.c stores via
vcs_scr_writew() without che
ring-buffer: Prevent subbuf order change when resizing is disabled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Prevent subbuf order change when resizing is disabled
Because ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() frees buffer pages, we can't
allow it when resizing is disabled. A non-consuming reader is at risk of
use-after-free (rb_advance_iter()).
Return -EBUSY on resize_disabled, matching ring_buffer_resize()
behaviour.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn race
Patch series "mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn race", v2.
There is a subtle race in the reference-counted huge_zero_folio
implementation.
The fast path atomic logic fails to account for the fact that the shrinker
(which drops the final huge_zero_refcount pin) can overwrite huge_zero_pfn
with the ~0UL sentinel value in shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() after a
racing get_huge_zero_folio() installed a valid value there.
This results in huge_zero_folio being correctly set but huge_zero_pfn
being set incorrectly and thus is_huge_zero_pfn()
net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice
smc_rx_splice() passes pages to splice_to_pipe() before taking the
references that cover the lifetime of each splice entry. In the
VM-backed RMB path, splice_to_pipe() may drop unqueued entries through
smc_rx_spd_release(), while queued entries are released later via the
pipe buffer callback.
The old post-splice accounting also derives the number of queued VM pages
from an offset mutated while building the descriptor, and a multi-page
splice pairs one sock_hold() with multiple sock_put() calls.

ipv6: prevent in6_dev_get() from resurrecting inet6_dev
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent in6_dev_get() from resurrecting inet6_dev
in6_dev_get() reads dev->ip6_ptr under RCU and then unconditionally
increments its refcount. Device teardown can clear the pointer and drop
the last reference between these operations. The increment then
resurrects an object whose RCU free has already been queued, so callers
can use it after it is freed.
Use refcount_inc_not_zero() and return NULL when the object has already
reached zero. RCU keeps the memory accessible through the attempted
reference acquisition, and a successful increment pins the object for
the cal
net/x25: fix use-after-free of the socket by its timers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/x25: fix use-after-free of the socket by its timers
The x25 timers are armed with mod_timer() and cancelled with
timer_delete(), so a pending timer holds no reference on the socket and a
cancel does not wait for a callback already running on another CPU.
x25_heartbeat_expiry() also rearms unconditionally, so it can reinstall
sk->sk_timer after __x25_destroy_socket() has passed its cancel point.
The following __sock_put() frees the socket while the timer is still
queued, and the next expiry uses freed memory. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-2k object
NTB: ntb_netdev: Preserve RX queue depth on allocation failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NTB: ntb_netdev: Preserve RX queue depth on allocation failure
ntb_netdev_rx_handler() hands the received skb to the network stack
before allocating its replacement. If the allocation fails, nothing is
reposted. Every failure therefore takes one buffer out of the RX queue
while the interface remains up, and enough failures eventually stall
reception.
A retry path could refill the queue later, but ntb_netdev has none.
Allocate the replacement first instead. If that fails, drop the packet
and repost the same skb. This keeps the queue full and lets packet
delivery resume as s
netfilter: bridge: release template ct on non-IP path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: bridge: release template ct on non-IP path
A bridge nftables ct zone set rule can attach a conntrack template to
an skb before nf_ct_bridge_pre() sees it. For non-IPv4 and non-IPv6
EtherTypes, nf_ct_bridge_pre() currently overwrites skb->_nfct with
IP_CT_UNTRACKED without releasing the existing template reference.
That makes the per-cpu template, and any temporary templates allocated
for concurrent use, unreachable and leaks memory until the host runs out
of slab.
Reset the skb conntrack state before marking the frame untracked so the
existing template referenc
netfilter: nf_conntrack: defer invalid log until after unlock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack: defer invalid log until after unlock
TCP and SCTP conntrack paths can emit invalid-packet logs while ct->lock
is still held.
When invalid logging is routed to nfnetlink_log and conntrack export is
enabled, the log path can re-enter conntrack netlink glue and dump the
same conntrack again. Protocol attribute dumping may take ct->lock, so
logging while holding that lock can deadlock.
Defer the TCP invalid logs by storing only the minimal log context while
ct->lock is held and emitting the log after unlocking. Also make the TCP
timeout-lowering inval
net: atlantic: free stranded TX buffers on ring deinit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: free stranded TX buffers on ring deinit
aq_vec_deinit() drains the TX rings with a single aq_ring_tx_clean()
call, which frees at most AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET (256) descriptors and
stops at hw_head, which no longer moves once aq_vec_stop() has stopped
the hardware and NAPI. Completed descriptors beyond the budget and
everything still posted in [hw_head, sw_tail) keep their skb or
xdp_frame when the interface goes down: aq_vec_ring_free() then frees
the buffer ring and the references are lost for good.
Today this is a silent memory leak on every interface down
