ext4: fix out-of-bounds read in ext4_read_inline_dir()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix out-of-bounds read in ext4_read_inline_dir()
ext4_read_inline_dir() can read a dirent header past the end of its inline
buffer, triggering a slab-out-of-bounds read during getdents64():

fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid init
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid init
ntfs_reparse_init() and ntfs_objid_init() parse the index root of the
$Extend/$Reparse and $Extend/$ObjId metafiles (the INDEX_ROOT attributes
named $R and $O). They read its type and rule fields through
resident_data(), which does not check that the resident attribute is
large enough to hold them.
mi_enum_attr() accepts a resident attribute with data_off == asize and
data_size == 0. For such an attribute placed last in its MFT record,
resident_data() returns a pointer to the end of the record_size buffer
SUNRPC: check rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() return value in rpcb_register_inet4/6
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: check rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() return value in rpcb_register_inet4/6
rpcb_register_inet4() and rpcb_register_inet6() store the result of
rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() into map->r_addr without checking it for NULL.
rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() returns NULL when its final kstrdup() fails, and
the unchecked NULL is then carried into the synchronous RPCBPROC_SET
encode path: rpcb_register_call() -> rpc_call_sync() ->
rpcb_enc_getaddr() -> encode_rpcb_string(), whose first statement is
strlen(string), dereferencing NULL and oopsing the kernel.
The crash reproduces under failslab on v6.12; w
xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
The depth check in xfrm6_input_addr() is off by one:
if (1 + sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH)
goto drop;
...
sp->xvec[sp->len++] = x;
xfrm_input() can leave sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH, and the transport-mode
receive path re-enters IPv6 input via xfrm_trans_reinject() with that
secpath preserved. If the inner packet carries a destination-options HAO
option or a type-2 routing header, xfrm6_input_addr() is called with
sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH; the check (1 + 6 == 6) is false, so
sp->xvec[sp-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entries
During $LogFile replay, log_replay() indexes the transaction table by the
transact_id taken from the log record header. check_log_rec() only
verifies that transact_id is non-zero and properly aligned, not its
magnitude, so a crafted image can request an arbitrarily large index.
alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() grows the table to cover that index via
extend_rsttbl(), which passes the new entry count to init_rsttbl():
rt = init_rsttbl(esize, used + add);
used + add is computed as u32 but init_rsttbl() takes a u16, and t
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()
read_log_rec_buf() copies a log record into a caller buffer starting at
u32 off = lsn_to_page_off(log, lsn) + log->record_header_len;
log->record_header_len (and log->data_off, used for the following pages)
comes verbatim from the on-disk restart area and is only checked for
8-byte alignment in is_rst_area_valid(), so off can exceed
log->page_size. "tail = log->page_size - off" then underflows and
memcpy() reads past the page_size-sized buffer returned by
read_log_page(), spilling adjacent slab memory into the replay
net: qualcomm: rmnet: restore skb->dev on deaggregated frames
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qualcomm: rmnet: restore skb->dev on deaggregated frames
rmnet_map_deaggregate() allocates each sub-frame with alloc_skb() and
leaves skb->dev NULL. __rmnet_map_ingress_handler() assigns
skb->dev = ep->egress_dev only on the data path, but a MAP command frame
is dispatched to rmnet_map_command() before that, so rmnet_map_send_ack()
runs netif_tx_lock(skb->dev) on a NULL device. An unprivileged user
reaches this by unsharing a user+net namespace, creating an rmnet link
over a tap device with INGRESS_DEAGGREGATION and INGRESS_MAP_COMMANDS,
and writing an aggregated frame
fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
When an EA record has a non-zero ef->size, ntfs_read_ea() only checks
that the record fits in the remaining buffer (ea_size > bytes), not that
ef->size is large enough to hold the record's own name_len + 1 + elength.
A crafted image can pass validation with, e.g., ef->size = 24 but
elength = 0xffff. ntfs_get_ea() then trusts elength and copies it out of
the undersized record, reading past the kmalloc(info->size) allocation
and leaking heap memory to userspace via getxattr():

isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block
zisofs_uncompress_block()'s empty-block fast path returns
pcount << PAGE_SHIFT, ignoring the incoming poffset, unlike the
decompression path which returns bytes produced relative to poffset.
zisofs_fill_pages() uses that return to advance its page cursor, so when
the zisofs block size is below PAGE_SIZE and a sub-page block leaves
poffset partway into a page, a following empty block over-counts and
advances pages[] one element past its end, after which
"if (poffset && *pages)" reads pages[1] out of bounds. ro
vfio/pci: clear vdev->msi_perm after freeing it on init failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: clear vdev->msi_perm after freeing it on init failure
vfio_msi_cap_len() lazily allocates the per-device MSI permission table:
vdev->msi_perm = kmalloc_obj(struct perm_bits, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
if (!vdev->msi_perm)
return -ENOMEM;
ret = init_pci_cap_msi_perm(vdev->msi_perm, len, flags);
if (ret) {
kfree(vdev->msi_perm);
return ret; /* vdev->msi_perm left dangling */
}
When init_pci_cap_msi_perm() -> alloc_perm_bits() fails with -ENOMEM, the
error path frees vdev->msi_perm but leaves the freed pointer stored in
it. vdev->msi_perm is not re-zeroed la
vxlan: vnifilter: enforce exact length of GROUP/GROUP6 attributes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: vnifilter: enforce exact length of GROUP/GROUP6 attributes
The VXLAN VNI filter entry policy declares the GROUP/GROUP6 address
attributes as NLA_BINARY with only a maximum length, so validate_nla()
accepts a payload shorter than the address. The GROUP consumer reads it
with nla_get_in_addr(), an unconditional 4-byte load, so a short
attribute over-reads up to 3 bytes of uninitialised slab data, which are
stored into remote_ip and echoed back via RTM_GETTUNNEL, disclosing
kernel memory.
Switch both entries to NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN() so the validator rejects

KVM: arm64: Handle negative S1 walk levels in VNCR TLB size evaluation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Handle negative S1 walk levels in VNCR TLB size evaluation
Computing the effects of a TLB invalidation involves looking at
the size of the mapping cached by the TLB. For S1 mappings such as
VNCR, this is deducted from the combination of the base granule size
and the mapping level.
However, this implies that the S1 MMU is *on*. When the MMU is off,
we indicate this with the level being set to a "creative" value of
-127 (S1_MMU_DISABLED).
This ends-up being misinterpreted by pgshift_level_to_ttl() as it
doesn't handle negative levels at all (the level is immedia

btrfs: write-protect folios during data writeback
commit 095be159f3eb ("btrfs: unify folio dirty flag clearing") replaced
the folio_clear_dirty_for_io() call in extent_write_cache_pages() with a
plain folio_test_dirty() check. Besides clearing the dirty flag,
folio_clear_dirty_for_io() also calls folio_mkclean(), which write-protects
the shared mmap PTEs mapping the folio. Note that we still do call
folio_clear_dirty_for_io() later in submit_one_sector() when we clear
dirty on the last sector of the folio (the only sector for non-subpage
cases). But we lost this early call
ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers
trace_buffer subbuf_size is read lockless in ring_buffer_read_page() and
ring_buffer_read_start(), while it can simultaneously be resized with
ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set().
Instead of trace_buffer::subbuf_size, use bpage::order in
ring_buffer_read_start() and ring_buffer_read_page().
In ring_buffer_read_start(), even with resize_disabled, there is still a
possibility of a race with a buffer modification. Hold the trace_buffer
mutex to synchronise with any pending ring buffer order modification.

clocksource/drivers/nxp-pit: Fix IRQ leak on cpuhp_setup_state error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clocksource/drivers/nxp-pit: Fix IRQ leak on cpuhp_setup_state error path
When cpuhp_setup_state fails after pit_clockevent_per_cpu_init has
successfully called request_irq, the error handling jumps directly to
out_pit_clocksource_unregister without freeing the registered IRQ.
This leaks the IRQ line and, since kfree(pit) follows, leaves a
dangling pointer registered as the interrupt handler's dev_id,
potentially leading to a use-after-free if the IRQ fires afterwards.
Fix it by calling pit_clockevent_per_cpu_exit to properly release the
IRQ before falling through to the

fs: fix user path of nested backing files
backing_file_open() derives the path to be stored in the new backing
file from user_file->f_path. This is incorrect when user_file itself
is a backing file, which is the case for nested stacking filesystems,
e.g. overlayfs mounts where the lowerdir of one overlayfs is the merged
directory of another. Since commit def3ae83da02 ("fs: store real path
instead of fake path in backing file f_path") the f_path of a backing
file holds the real path of the intermediate layer, not the path that
the user opened.

ovl_create_real() releases the new dentry twice when the casefold
consistency check fails. The S_IFDIR branch calls end_creating() and

pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl
The PIDFD_GET_*_NAMESPACE ioctls in pidfd_ioctl() perform a filesystem
credentials ptrace access check before handing out a namespace file
descriptor. The accompanying comment states that the code "mirrors nsfs
behavior", but, unlike the corresponding procfs paths, it does so without
holding the target task's exec_update_lock.
proc_ns_get_link() and proc_ns_readlink() both take exec_update_lock for
reading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup, so that the
credentials used for the access decision match those o
timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace
On native sparc64, struct __kernel_old_timeval contains a four-byte hole
after tv_usec because tv_sec is 64-bit while __kernel_suseconds_t is 32-bit.
put_itimerval() fills only the named fields in a stack-allocated
__kernel_old_itimerval and copies the entire object to userspace, so
getitimer() can expose the two padding holes.
Zero-initialize the aggregate before assigning the fields so implicit
padding is deterministic before it crosses the user/kernel boundary.
