KVM: x86/mmu: Fix use-after-free on vendor module reload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/mmu: Fix use-after-free on vendor module reload
mmu_destroy_caches() destroys pte_list_desc_cache and
mmu_page_header_cache, but leaves both pointers unchanged. The pointers
live in kvm.ko, and therefore survive when a vendor module is unloaded
while kvm.ko remains loaded.
If creation of pte_list_desc_cache fails during a subsequent vendor
module load, its assignment sets pte_list_desc_cache to NULL and the
error path calls mmu_destroy_caches(). mmu_page_header_cache still
points to the cache destroyed during the preceding vendor module
unload. Passing that sta
gpu: host1x: Fix use-after-free in host1x_bo_clear_cached_mappings
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpu: host1x: Fix use-after-free in host1x_bo_clear_cached_mappings
__host1x_bo_unpin() drops the last reference to the mapping and frees
it, so we can't dereference mapping afterwards. The cache itself
outlives the mapping, so use the cache local variable instead.
xfrm: fix stale skb->prev after async crypto steals a GSO segment
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix stale skb->prev after async crypto steals a GSO segment
skb_gso_segment() leaves the segment list head with ->prev pointing at
the last segment, an invariant validate_xmit_skb_list() relies on when
it sets its tail pointer (tail = skb->prev).
When validate_xmit_xfrm() walks a GSO list and some segments are stolen
by async crypto (->xmit() returns -EINPROGRESS), those segments are
unlinked from the list but the head ->prev is never updated. If the
last segment is the one stolen, the returned head still has ->prev
pointing at it, even though it is now owned by the
IB/mad: Drop unmatched RMPP responses before reassembly
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mad: Drop unmatched RMPP responses before reassembly
Kernel-handled RMPP receive processing starts reassembly for active
DATA responses before the response is matched to an outstanding send.
The normal match happens later, after ib_process_rmpp_recv_wc() has
either assembled a complete message or consumed the segment.
That ordering lets an unsolicited response that routes to a kernel
RMPP agent by the high TID bits allocate or extend RMPP receive state
before the full TID and source address are checked against a real
request. A reordered burst can therefore reach the re
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: publish QP after initialization
siw_create_qp() currently calls siw_qp_add() before the queues, CQ
pointers, state, completion, and device list entry are ready. A QPN
lookup can therefore reach a QP that is still being constructed.
Move siw_qp_add() to the end of siw_create_qp(), after QP
initialization and before adding the QP to the siw device list.
wifi: cfg80211: cancel sched scan results work on unregister
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: cancel sched scan results work on unregister
cfg80211_sched_scan_results() can queue rdev->sched_scan_res_wk from a
driver result notification while a scheduled scan request is present. The
work callback recovers the containing cfg80211_registered_device and then
locks the wiphy and walks the scheduled-scan request list.
wiphy_unregister() already makes the wiphy unreachable and drains rdev work
items before cfg80211_dev_free() can release the object, but it does not
drain sched_scan_res_wk. A queued or running result work item can therefore
cross the unreg
wifi: ipw2100: fix potential memory leak in ipw2100_pci_init_one()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ipw2100: fix potential memory leak in ipw2100_pci_init_one()
The memory allocated in the ipw2100_alloc_device() function is not freed
in some of the error paths in ipw2100_pci_init_one(). Fix that by
converting the direct return into a goto to the error path return.
The error path when pci_enable_device() fails cannot jump to fail, since
at this point priv is not set, so perform error handling inline.
wifi: cfg80211: Fix an error handling path in cfg80211_wext_siwscan()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: Fix an error handling path in cfg80211_wext_siwscan()
If the test against IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN fails, then 'creq' leaks.
Use the existing error handling path to fix it.
wifi: libertas: fix memory leak in helper_firmware_cb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libertas: fix memory leak in helper_firmware_cb()
helper_firmware_cb() neglects to free the single-stage firmware image
after a successful async load, leading to a memory leak in the USB
firmware-download path.
Fix this memory leak by calling release_firmware() immediately after
lbs_fw_loaded() returns.
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 yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present i
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: validate PMSR FTM preamble range
PMSR FTM request parsing accepts preamble values outside the
enumerated nl80211 preamble range.
Reject out-of-range values before using them in the parser capability
bit test using the policy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: free AP_VLAN bc_buf SKBs outside IRQ lock
ieee80211_do_stop() removes AP_VLAN packets from the parent AP
ps->bc_buf while holding ps->bc_buf.lock with IRQs disabled. It then
calls ieee80211_free_txskb() before dropping the lock.
ieee80211_free_txskb() is not just a passive SKB release. For SKBs with
TX status state it can report a dropped frame through cfg80211/nl80211,
and that path can reach netlink tap transmit. This is the same reason
the pending queue cleanup in ieee80211_do_stop() already unlinks SKBs
under the queue lock and frees them after IRQ stat
wifi: cfg80211: use wiphy work for socket owner autodisconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: use wiphy work for socket owner autodisconnect
nl80211_netlink_notify() walks the cfg80211 wireless device list when a
NETLINK_GENERIC socket is released. If the socket owns a connection, the
notifier queues the embedded wdev->disconnect_wk work item.
That work is a plain work_struct today. NETDEV_GOING_DOWN cancels it, but a
NETLINK_URELEASE notifier that already observed conn_owner_nlportid can
queue it after that cancel returns. _cfg80211_unregister_wdev() then
removes the wdev from the list and waits for RCU readers, but
synchronize_net() does not drain
wifi: brcmfmac: initialize SDIO data work before cleanup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: initialize SDIO data work before cleanup
brcmf_sdio_probe() stores the newly allocated bus in sdiodev->bus before
allocating the ordered workqueue. If that allocation fails, the function
jumps to fail and calls brcmf_sdio_remove().
brcmf_sdio_remove() unconditionally cancels bus->datawork. Initialize the
work item before the first failure path that can reach brcmf_sdio_remove(),
so the cleanup path always observes a valid work object.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by
manual review of the probe error path and the remove
wifi: cfg80211: bound element ID read when checking non-inheritance
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: bound element ID read when checking non-inheritance
cfg80211_is_element_inherited() reads the first data octet of the
candidate element (id = elem->data[0]) to look it up in an extension
non-inheritance list. It does so after testing elem->id, but without
verifying that the element actually has a data octet. A zero-length
extension element (WLAN_EID_EXTENSION with length 0) therefore makes it
read one octet past the end of the element.
_ieee802_11_parse_elems_full() runs this check for every element of a
frame once a non-inheritance context exists -- e.g. w
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix UAF in sock clone early bailouts
Similar to recent commit 9b51a6155d14 ("bpf,fork: wipe ->bpf_storage
before bailouts that access it"), sk_clone() performs an initial
shallow copy of the socket field ->sk_bpf_storage via sock_copy()
for the cloned socket newsk.
If sk_clone() bails out early (e.g. if sk_filter_charge() fails) prior
to calling bpf_sk_storage_clone(), newsk->sk_bpf_storage still points
to the parent socket's BPF local storage. When newsk is subsequently
freed via sk_free(), the deallocation path (__sk_destruct() ->
bpf_sk_storage_free()) destroys the
ppp: defer channel free to an RCU grace period to fix pppol2tp RX UAF
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: defer channel free to an RCU grace period to fix pppol2tp RX UAF
pppol2tp_recv() runs in the L2TP UDP-encap softirq RX path:
l2tp_udp_encap_recv() -> l2tp_recv_common() -> pppol2tp_recv()
-> ppp_input(&po->chan)
It runs under rcu_read_lock() holding only an l2tp_session reference and
takes NO reference on the internal PPP channel (struct channel,
chan->ppp) that ppp_input() dereferences.
The pppox socket is SOCK_RCU_FREE, so 'po' and the embedded ppp_channel
are RCU-safe. But the internal struct channel is a separate allocation
that ppp_release_channel() frees
net/iucv: take a reference on the socket found in afiucv_hs_rcv()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: take a reference on the socket found in afiucv_hs_rcv()
afiucv_hs_rcv() looks up the destination socket under iucv_sk_list.lock,
drops the lock, and then passes the socket to the afiucv_hs_callback_*()
handlers without holding a reference. AF_IUCV sockets are not
RCU-protected and are freed synchronously by iucv_sock_kill() ->
sock_put(), so a concurrent close can free the socket in the window
between read_unlock() and the handler, which then dereferences freed
memory (for example sk->sk_data_ready() in afiucv_hs_callback_syn()).
Take a reference with sock_hold()
ata: sata_dwc_460ex: enable SATA interrupts only after IRQ handler is registered
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: sata_dwc_460ex: enable SATA interrupts only after IRQ handler is registered
sata_dwc_enable_interrupts() is called before platform_get_irq() and
ata_host_activate(), leaving the SATA controller's interrupt mask
enabled without a registered handler. If a later step fails (irq
request, phy init, etc.) or if the controller asserts an interrupt
during probe, the irq line may fire with no handler, causing a
spurious interrupt storm.
Move sata_dwc_enable_interrupts() after ata_host_activate() so that
interrupts are only unmasked once the handler is registered and the

net/sched: act_tunnel_key: Defer dst_release to RCU callback
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_tunnel_key: Defer dst_release to RCU callback
Fix a race-condition use-after-free in tunnel_key_release_params().
The function releases the metadata_dst of the old params synchronously
via dst_release() while deferring the params struct free with
kfree_rcu(). A concurrent tunnel_key_act() reader on the datapath may
still hold the old params pointer (under rcu_read_lock_bh) and proceed
to call dst_clone(¶ms->tcft_enc_metadata->dst) after the writer's
dst_release has already pushed the dst's rcuref to RCUREF_DEAD.

sctp: fix auth_hmacs array size in struct sctp_cookie
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix auth_hmacs array size in struct sctp_cookie
The auth_hmacs array in struct sctp_cookie is supposed to store a complete
SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ALGO parameter, which consists of a struct sctp_paramhdr
followed by N HMAC identifiers.
However, the array size was calculated using an extra 2 bytes instead of
sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr), which is 4 bytes. When four HMAC identifiers
are configured, the HMAC-ALGO parameter stored in the endpoint is larger
than the auth_hmacs buffer in the cookie.
As a result, sctp_association_init() copies beyond the end of auth_hmacs
when init
