mac802154: llsec: add skb_cow_data() before in-place crypto
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac802154: llsec: add skb_cow_data() before in-place crypto
llsec_do_encrypt_unauth(), llsec_do_encrypt_auth(),
llsec_do_decrypt_unauth(), and llsec_do_decrypt_auth() all perform
in-place cryptographic transformations on skb data. They build a
scatterlist with sg_init_one() pointing into the skb's linear data area
and then pass the same scatterlist as both src and dst to the crypto API
(e.g. crypto_skcipher_encrypt/decrypt, crypto_aead_encrypt/decrypt).
On the RX path, __ieee802154_rx_handle_packet() clones the received skb
before handing it to each subscriber via ieee802
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: skmsg: preserve sg.copy across SG transforms
The sk_msg sg.copy bitmap is part of the scatterlist entry ownership
state. A set bit tells sk_msg_compute_data_pointers() not to expose the
entry through writable BPF ctx->data. This protects entries backed by
pages that are not private to the sk_msg, such as splice-backed file
page-cache pages.
Several sk_msg transform paths move, copy, split, or compact
msg->sg.data[] entries without moving the matching sg.copy bit. This can
make an externally backed entry arrive at a new slot with a clear copy
bit. A later SK_MSG verdic
net: ip_gre: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ip_gre: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and
the tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in
or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.
Add rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() next to rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() in
net/core/rtnetlink.c. It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the link netns and is

apparmor: mediate the implicit connect of TCP fast open sendmsg
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: mediate the implicit connect of TCP fast open sendmsg
sendmsg()/sendto() with MSG_FASTOPEN is a combination of connect(2) and
write(2): it opens the connection in the SYN. apparmor_socket_sendmsg()
only checks AA_MAY_SEND, so a profile that grants send but denies connect
lets a confined task open an outbound TCP/MPTCP connection that connect(2)
would have refused, bypassing connect mediation.
Mediate the implicit connect when MSG_FASTOPEN is set and a destination
is supplied. Add it to apparmor_socket_sendmsg() (not the shared
aa_sock_msg_perm() helper, which rec
apparmor: fix use-after-free in rawdata dedup loop
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix use-after-free in rawdata dedup loop
aa_replace_profiles() walks ns->rawdata_list to dedup the incoming
policy blob against entries already attached to existing profiles.
Per the kernel-doc on struct aa_loaddata, list membership does not
hold a reference: profiles hold pcount, and when the last pcount
drops, do_ploaddata_rmfs() is queued on a workqueue that takes
ns->lock and removes the entry. Between dropping the last pcount
and the workqueue running, an entry remains on the list with
pcount == 0.
aa_get_profile_loaddata() is an unconditional kref_get() on
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: fix use-after-free in store_modes()
store_modes() replaces a framebuffer's modelist with modes from userspace.
On success it frees the old modelist with fb_destroy_modelist(). Two
fields still point into that freed list.
One pointer is fb_display[i].mode, the mode a console is using.
fbcon_new_modelist() moves these pointers to the new list. It only does so
for consoles still mapped to the framebuffer. An unmapped console is
skipped and keeps its stale pointer. Unbinding fbcon, for example, sets
con2fb_map[i] to -1 but leaves fb_display[i].mode set. An

gcov: use atomic counter updates to fix concurrent access crashes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gcov: use atomic counter updates to fix concurrent access crashes
GCC's GCOV instrumentation can merge global branch counters with loop
induction variables as an optimization. In inflate_fast(), the inner copy
loops get transformed so that the GCOV counter value is loaded multiple
times to compute the loop base address, start index, and end bound. Since
GCOV counters are global (not per-CPU), concurrent execution on different
CPUs causes the counter to change between loads, producing inconsistent
values and out-of-bounds memory writes.
The crash manifests during IPComp (
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KEYS: fix overflow in keyctl_pkey_params_get_2()
The length for the internal output buffer is calculated incorrectly, which
can result overflow when a too small buffer is provided.
Fix the bug by allocating internal output with the size of the maximum
length of the cryptographic primitive instead of caller provided size.

wifi: ath11k: fix warning when unbinding
If there is an error during some initialization related to firmware,
the buffers dp->tx_ring[i].tx_status are released.
However this is released again when the device is unbinded (ath11k_pci),
and we get:

The issue is always reproducible from a VM because the MSI addressing

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: validate orphan inode entry count
f2fs_recover_orphan_inodes() trusts the orphan block entry_count when
replaying orphan inodes from the checkpoint pack. A corrupted entry_count
larger than F2FS_ORPHANS_PER_BLOCK makes the recovery loop read past the
ino[] array and interpret footer or following data as inode numbers.
On a crafted image, mounting an unpatched kernel can drive orphan recovery
into f2fs_bug_on() and panic the kernel. Validate entry_count before
consuming entries so corrupted checkpoint data fails the mount with
-EFSCORRUPTED and requests fsck instead.
f2fs: validate compress cache inode only when enabled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: validate compress cache inode only when enabled
F2FS_COMPRESS_INO() uses NM_I(sbi)->max_nid as the synthetic inode
number for the compressed page cache inode. That inode only exists when
the compress_cache mount option is enabled.
When compress_cache is disabled, max_nid is outside the valid inode
range. A corrupted directory entry that points to ino == max_nid should
therefore be rejected by f2fs_check_nid_range(). However, is_meta_ino()
currently treats F2FS_COMPRESS_INO() as a meta inode unconditionally,
so f2fs_iget() bypasses do_read_inode() and its nid range ch
f2fs: bound i_inline_xattr_size for non-inline-xattr inodes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: bound i_inline_xattr_size for non-inline-xattr inodes
When the flexible_inline_xattr feature is enabled, do_read_inode() loads
the on-disk i_inline_xattr_size unconditionally:
if (f2fs_sb_has_flexible_inline_xattr(sbi))
fi->i_inline_xattr_size = le16_to_cpu(ri->i_inline_xattr_size);
but sanity_check_inode() only range-checks it when the inode also has the
FI_INLINE_XATTR flag set. An inode that carries an inline dentry or inline
data but not FI_INLINE_XATTR -- the normal layout for an inline
directory -- therefore keeps a fully attacker-controlled

f2fs: validate ACL entry sizes in f2fs_acl_from_disk()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: validate ACL entry sizes in f2fs_acl_from_disk()
f2fs_acl_count() only validates the aggregate ACL xattr length. A
malformed ACL can still place ACL_USER or ACL_GROUP in a slot that only
contains struct f2fs_acl_entry_short bytes, and f2fs_acl_from_disk()
then reads entry->e_id before verifying that a full entry fits.
Require a short entry before reading e_tag and e_perm, and require a
full entry before reading e_id for ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP. Return
-EFSCORRUPTED from these new truncated-entry checks, while keeping the
pre-existing -EINVAL paths unchanged.

block: Avoid mounting the bdev pseudo-filesystem in userspace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Avoid mounting the bdev pseudo-filesystem in userspace
The bdev pseudo-filesystem is an internal kernel filesystem with which
userspace should not interfere. Unregister it so that userspace cannot
even attempt to mount it.
This fixes a bug [1] that occurs when attempting to access files,
because the system call move_mount() uses pointers declared in the
inode_operations structure, which for the bdev pseudo-filesystem
are always equal to 0. `inode->i_op = &empty_iops;`

bpf: use kvfree() for replaced sysctl write buffer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: use kvfree() for replaced sysctl write buffer
proc_sys_call_handler() allocates its temporary sysctl buffer with
kvzalloc() and passes it to __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl(). Since
kvzalloc() may fall back to vmalloc() for large allocations, freeing
that buffer with kfree() is wrong and can corrupt memory.
Use kvfree() to safely handle both kmalloc and kvzalloc()/vmalloc
allocations.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not y
exfat: fix potential use-after-free in exfat_find_dir_entry()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix potential use-after-free in exfat_find_dir_entry()
In exfat_find_dir_entry(), the buffer_head obtained from
exfat_get_dentry() is released with brelse(bh) before the fall-through
TYPE_EXTEND branch reads the directory entry through ep (which points
into bh->b_data):
brelse(bh);
if (entry_type == TYPE_EXTEND) {
...
len = exfat_extract_uni_name(ep, entry_uniname);
...
}
After brelse() drops our reference, nothing guarantees that the
underlying page backing bh->b_data remains valid for the subsequent
exfat_extract_uni_name() read. This is the same pattern
KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level
When recovering hugepages in the shadow MMU, verify that the base gfn of
the shadow page is actually contained within the target memslot, *before*
querying the max mapping level given the shadow page's gfn. Failure to
pre-check the validity of the gfn can lead to an out-of-bounds access to
the slot's lpage_info (which typically manifests as a host #PF because the
lpage_info is vmalloc'd) if the guest creates a hugepage mapping (in its
PTEs) that extends "below" the bounds of a memslot.

KVM: Replace guest-triggerable BUG_ON() in ioeventfd datamatch with get_unaligned()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: Replace guest-triggerable BUG_ON() in ioeventfd datamatch with get_unaligned()
Drop a BUG_ON() that has been reachable since it was first added, way back
in 2009, and instead use get_unaligned() to perform potentially-unaligned
accesses.
For a given store, KVM x86's emulator tracks the entire value in the
destination operand, x86_emulate_ctxt.dst. If the destination is memory,
and the target splits multiple pages and/or is emulated MMIO, then KVM
handles each fragment independently. E.g. on a page split starting at page
offset 0xffc, KVM writes 4 bytes to the first
