smb: client: fix rlist race and missing initialization
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix rlist race and missing initialization
TCP_Server_Info.rlist is allocated via kzalloc which zeros both ->next
and ->prev to NULL instead of pointing to itself, making list_empty()
always return false and list_add() dereference a NULL ->prev pointer.
Also, cifs_signal_cifsd_for_reconnect() can be called concurrently
from multiple cifsd threads, allowing the same server's rlist node to
be added twice into the local list, corrupting it.
esp: do not unref managed frag pages in esp_ssg_unref()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
esp: do not unref managed frag pages in esp_ssg_unref()
esp_ssg_unref() releases the page references held on the source
scatterlist after the AEAD operation completes. It calls
skb_page_unref() on every frag page for an out-of-place transform
(req->src != req->dst), and in the error path of esp_output_tail()
(already_unref == true) on the request's own scatterlist.
This is wrong when the skb carries managed frags
(SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS). Managed frags are owned by a zerocopy ubuf
and the skb does not hold a per-frag page reference; io_uring SEND_ZC

kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
After commit 12e9e3cd03b5 ("simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache"),
kernfs_xattr_set() and kernfs_xattr_get() compute the cache via
kernfs_root(kn) before any other check. kernfs_root(kn) walks
kn->__parent first and falls back to kn->dir.root, both of which are
NULL on a freshly kmem_cache_zalloc()'d kn. kn->__parent was being set
in kernfs_new_node() after __kernfs_new_node() returned, and kn->dir.root
is set even later by kernfs_create_dir_ns() / kernfs_create_empty_dir().
The LSM kernfs_init_security hook is invoked from
mm/khugepaged: write all dirty file folios when collapsing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/khugepaged: write all dirty file folios when collapsing
[There is no upstream commit, as this code was removed by upstream
commit 044925f9b565 ("mm: fs: remove filemap_nr_thps*() functions and their users")]
As-is, khugepaged and writable-file opening exclude each other. A file
cannot be open writeable and have THPs (because the filesystem is not aware
of them). khugepaged will never collapse file pages for files that are
opened writeable. On an open(O_RDWR/O_WRONLY), the page cache for that
particular file is dropped. This is fine because nothing could've been
dirtied
can: bcm: switch timer to HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and remove hrtimer_tasklet
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: switch timer to HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and remove hrtimer_tasklet
This patch switches the timer to HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT, which executed the
timer callback in softirq context and removes the hrtimer_tasklet.

batman-adv: v: stop OGMv2 on disabled interface
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: v: stop OGMv2 on disabled interface
When a batadv_hard_iface is disabled, its mesh_iface pointer is set to
NULL. However, batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() may still dispatch OGMs via
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() for interfaces that have since lost their
mesh_iface association. This results in a NULL pointer dereference when
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() unconditionally calls netdev_priv() on the
now NULL hard_iface->mesh_iface to retrieve the batadv_priv.
It is necessary to ensure that the batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() checks that
it is using the same mesh_iface for which ba

KVM: arm64: Fix pin leak and publication ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Fix pin leak and publication ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu()
Two bugs exist in the vCPU initialisation path:
1. If a check fails after hyp_pin_shared_mem() succeeds, the cleanup
path jumps to 'unlock' without calling unpin_host_vcpu() or
unpin_host_sve_state(), permanently leaking pin references on the
host vCPU and SVE state pages.
Extract a register_hyp_vcpu() helper that performs the checks and
the store. When register_hyp_vcpu() returns an error, call
unpin_host_vcpu() and unpin_host_sve_state() inline before falling
through to the exis
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/privcmd: fix double free via VMA splitting
privcmd_vm_ops defines .close (privcmd_close), but neither .may_split
nor .open. When userspace does a partial munmap() on a privcmd mapping,
the kernel splits the VMA via __split_vma(). Since may_split is NULL,
the split is allowed. vm_area_dup() copies vm_private_data (a pages
array allocated in alloc_empty_pages()) into the new VMA without any
fixup, because there is no .open callback.
Both VMAs now point to the same pages array. When the unmapped portion
is closed, privcmd_close() calls:
- xen_unmap_domain_gfn_range()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c
The build id returned by HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) is
neither NUL terminated nor a string.
The first causes a buffer overflow as sprintf in buildid_show will
read and copy till it finds a NUL.
00000000 f4 91 51 f4 dd 38 9e 9d 65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50 |..Q..8..eGR..q.P|
00000010 b9 a8 01 42 6f 2e 32 |...Bo.2|
00000017
So use a memcpy instead of sprintf to have the correct value:

Nfs-utils: rpc.mountd in the nfs-utils privilege escalation
A vulnerability was recently discovered in the rpc.mountd daemon in the nfs-utils package for Linux, that allows a NFSv3 client to escalate the
privileges assigned to it in the /etc/exports file at mount time. In particular, it allows the client to access any subdirectory or subtree of an exported directory, regardless of the set file permissions, and regardless of any 'root_squash' or 'all_squash' attributes that would normally be expected to apply to that client.
Kernel: secure boot does not automatically enable kernel lockdown
The Linux Kernel lockdown mode for kernel versions starting on 6.12 and above for Fedora Linux has the lockdown mode disabled without any warning. This may allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information such kernel memory mappings, I/O ports, BPF and kprobes. Additionally unsigned modules can be loaded, leading to execution of untrusted code breaking breaking any Secure Boot protection. This vulnerability affects only Fedora Linux.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: isotp: check CAN address family in isotp_bind()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: isotp: check CAN address family in isotp_bind()
Add missing check to block non-AF_CAN binds.
Syzbot created some code which matched the right sockaddr struct size
but used AF_XDP (0x2C) instead of AF_CAN (0x1D) in the address family
field:
bind$xdp(r2, &(0x7f0000000540)={0x2c, 0x0, r4, 0x0, r2}, 0x10)
^^^^
This has no funtional impact but the userspace should be notified about
the wrong address family field content.
ext4: guard against EA inode refcount underflow in xattr update
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: guard against EA inode refcount underflow in xattr update
syzkaller found a path where ext4_xattr_inode_update_ref() reads an EA
inode refcount that is already <= 0 and then applies ref_change (often
-1). That lets the refcount underflow and we proceed with a bogus value,
triggering errors like:
EXT4-fs error: EA inode <n> ref underflow: ref_count=-1 ref_change=-1
EXT4-fs warning: ea_inode dec ref err=-117
Make the invariant explicit: if the current refcount is non-positive,
treat this as on-disk corruption, emit ext4_error_inode(), and fail the
operation with -
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential shift-out-of-bounds in brcmf_fw_alloc_request()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential shift-out-of-bounds in brcmf_fw_alloc_request()
This patch fixes a shift-out-of-bounds in brcmfmac that occurs in
BIT(chiprev) when a 'chiprev' provided by the device is too large.
It should also not be equal to or greater than BITS_PER_TYPE(u32)
as we do bitwise AND with a u32 variable and BIT(chiprev). The patch
adds a check that makes the function return NULL if that is the case.
Note that the NULL case is later handled by the bus-specific caller,
brcmf_usb_probe_cb() or brcmf_usb_reset_resume(), for example.

x86: fix clear_user_rep_good() exception handling annotation
This code no longer exists in mainline, because it was removed in
commit d2c95f9d6802 ("x86: don't use REP_GOOD or ERMS for user memory
clearing") upstream.
However, rather than backport the full range of x86 memory clearing and
copying cleanups, fix the exception table annotation placement for the
final 'rep movsb' in clear_user_rep_good(): rather than pointing at the
actual instruction that did the user space access, it pointed to the
register move just before it.
That made sense from a code flow standpoint, b

android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA
Do not record a pointer to a VMA outside of the mmap_lock for later use.
This is unsafe and there are a number of failure paths *after* the
recorded VMA pointer may be freed during setup. There is no callback to
the driver to clear the saved pointer from generic mm code. Furthermore,
the VMA pointer may become stale if any number of VMA operations end up
freeing the VMA so saving it was fragile to being with.
Instead, change the binder_alloc struct to record the start address of the
VMA and use vma_lookup() to get the vm
