In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix data re-injection from stale subflow
When the MPTCP PM detects that a subflow is stale, all the packet
scheduler must re-inject all the mptcp-level unacked data. To avoid
acquiring unneeded locks, it first try to check if any unacked data
is present at all in the RTX queue, but such check is currently
broken, as it uses TCP-specific helper on an MPTCP socket.
Funnily enough fuzzers and static checkers are happy, as the accessed
memory still belongs to the mptcp_sock struct, and even from a
functional perspective the recovery completed successfully, as

nfc: nci: free rx_data_reassembly skb on NCI device cleanup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: free rx_data_reassembly skb on NCI device cleanup
rx_data_reassembly skb is stored during NCI data exchange for processing
fragmented packets. It is dropped only when the last fragment is processed
or when an NTF packet with NCI_OP_RF_DEACTIVATE_NTF opcode is received.
However, the NCI device may be deallocated before that which leads to skb
leak.
As by design the rx_data_reassembly skb is bound to the NCI device and
nothing prevents the device to be freed before the skb is processed in
some way and cleaned, free it on the NCI device cleanup.

smb: client: set correct id, uid and cruid for multiuser automounts
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: set correct id, uid and cruid for multiuser automounts
When uid, gid and cruid are not specified, we need to dynamically
set them into the filesystem context used for automounting otherwise
they'll end up reusing the values from the parent mount.
hv_netvsc: Register VF in netvsc_probe if NET_DEVICE_REGISTER missed
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hv_netvsc: Register VF in netvsc_probe if NET_DEVICE_REGISTER missed
If hv_netvsc driver is unloaded and reloaded, the NET_DEVICE_REGISTER
handler cannot perform VF register successfully as the register call
is received before netvsc_probe is finished. This is because we
register register_netdevice_notifier() very early( even before
vmbus_driver_register()).
To fix this, we try to register each such matching VF( if it is visible
as a netdevice) at the end of netvsc_probe.
iio: core: fix memleak in iio_device_register_sysfs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: core: fix memleak in iio_device_register_sysfs
When iio_device_register_sysfs_group() fails, we should
free iio_dev_opaque->chan_attr_group.attrs to prevent
potential memleak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: rc: bpf attach/detach requires write permission
Note that bpf attach/detach also requires CAP_NET_ADMIN.
NULL pointer deference in acpi_db_convert_to_package of Linux acpi module
The memory allocation function ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED does not guarantee a
successful allocation, but the subsequent code directly dereferences the
pointer that receives it, which may lead to null pointer dereference.
To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null,
return exception code AE_NO_MEMORY.
amdkfd: use calloc instead of kzalloc to avoid integer overflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
amdkfd: use calloc instead of kzalloc to avoid integer overflow
This uses calloc instead of doing the multiplication which might
overflow.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86, relocs: Ignore relocations in .notes section
When building with CONFIG_XEN_PV=y, .text symbols are emitted into
the .notes section so that Xen can find the "startup_xen" entry point.
This information is used prior to booting the kernel, so relocations
are not useful. In fact, performing relocations against the .notes
section means that the KASLR base is exposed since /sys/kernel/notes
is world-readable.
To avoid leaking the KASLR base without breaking unprivileged tools that
are expecting to read /sys/kernel/notes, skip performing relocations in
the .notes section. Th
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: validate payload size in ipc response
If installing malicious ksmbd-tools, ksmbd.mountd can return invalid ipc
response to ksmbd kernel server. ksmbd should validate payload size of
ipc response from ksmbd.mountd to avoid memory overrun or
slab-out-of-bounds. This patch validate 3 ipc response that has payload.
vfio/pci: Disable auto-enable of exclusive INTx IRQ
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: Disable auto-enable of exclusive INTx IRQ
Currently for devices requiring masking at the irqchip for INTx, ie.
devices without DisINTx support, the IRQ is enabled in request_irq()
and subsequently disabled as necessary to align with the masked status
flag. This presents a window where the interrupt could fire between
these events, resulting in the IRQ incrementing the disable depth twice.
This would be unrecoverable for a user since the masked flag prevents
nested enables through vfio.
Instead, invert the logic using IRQF_NO_AUTOEN such that exclusive INTx
is ne
vfio/fsl-mc: Block calling interrupt handler without trigger
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/fsl-mc: Block calling interrupt handler without trigger
The eventfd_ctx trigger pointer of the vfio_fsl_mc_irq object is
initially NULL and may become NULL if the user sets the trigger
eventfd to -1. The interrupt handler itself is guaranteed that
trigger is always valid between request_irq() and free_irq(), but
the loopback testing mechanisms to invoke the handler function
need to test the trigger. The triggering and setting ioctl paths
both make use of igate and are therefore mutually exclusive.
The vfio-fsl-mc driver does not make use of irqfds, nor does it
suppo
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/platform: Create persistent IRQ handlers
The vfio-platform SET_IRQS ioctl currently allows loopback triggering of
an interrupt before a signaling eventfd has been configured by the user,
which thereby allows a NULL pointer dereference.
Rather than register the IRQ relative to a valid trigger, register all
IRQs in a disabled state in the device open path. This allows mask
operations on the IRQ to nest within the overall enable state governed
by a valid eventfd signal. This decouples @masked, protected by the
@locked spinlock from @trigger, protected via the @igate mu
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: Create persistent INTx handler
A vulnerability exists where the eventfd for INTx signaling can be
deconfigured, which unregisters the IRQ handler but still allows
eventfds to be signaled with a NULL context through the SET_IRQS ioctl
or through unmask irqfd if the device interrupt is pending.
Ideally this could be solved with some additional locking; the igate
mutex serializes the ioctl and config space accesses, and the interrupt
handler is unregistered relative to the trigger, but the irqfd path
runs asynchronous to those. The igate mutex cannot be acquired fr
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: Lock external INTx masking ops
Mask operations through config space changes to DisINTx may race INTx
configuration changes via ioctl. Create wrappers that add locking for
paths outside of the core interrupt code.
In particular, irq_type is updated holding igate, therefore testing
is_intx() requires holding igate. For example clearing DisINTx from
config space can otherwise race changes of the interrupt configuration.
This aligns interfaces which may trigger the INTx eventfd into two
camps, one side serialized by igate and the other only enabled while
INTx is c
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: release elements in clone only from destroy path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: release elements in clone only from destroy path
Clone already always provides a current view of the lookup table, use it
to destroy the set, otherwise it is possible to destroy elements twice.
This fix requires:
212ed75dc5fb ("netfilter: nf_tables: integrate pipapo into commit protocol")
which came after:

netfilter: nft_chain_filter: handle NETDEV_UNREGISTER for inet/ingress basechain
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_chain_filter: handle NETDEV_UNREGISTER for inet/ingress basechain
Remove netdevice from inet/ingress basechain in case NETDEV_UNREGISTER
event is reported, otherwise a stale reference to netdevice remains in
the hook list.
netlink: Fix kernel-infoleak-after-free in __skb_datagram_iter
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: Fix kernel-infoleak-after-free in __skb_datagram_iter
syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1]:
netlink_to_full_skb() creates a new `skb` and puts the `skb->data`
passed as a 1st arg of netlink_to_full_skb() onto new `skb`. The data
size is specified as `len` and passed to skb_put_data(). This `len`
is based on `skb->end` that is not data offset but buffer offset. The
`skb->end` contains data and tailroom. Since the tailroom is not
initialized when the new `skb` created, KMSAN detects uninitialized
memory area when copying the data.

net: veth: clear GRO when clearing XDP even when down
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: veth: clear GRO when clearing XDP even when down
veth sets NETIF_F_GRO automatically when XDP is enabled,
because both features use the same NAPI machinery.
The logic to clear NETIF_F_GRO sits in veth_disable_xdp() which
is called both on ndo_stop and when XDP is turned off.
To avoid the flag from being cleared when the device is brought
down, the clearing is skipped when IFF_UP is not set.
Bringing the device down should indeed not modify its features.
Unfortunately, this means that clearing is also skipped when
XDP is disabled _while_ the device is down. And there'
