KVM: Move kvm_io_bus_get_dev() locking responsibilities to callers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: Move kvm_io_bus_get_dev() locking responsibilities to callers
kvm_io_bus_get_dev() returns a device that is only matched by the
address, and nothing else. This can cause a lifetime issue if
the matched device is not the expected type, as by the time
the caller can introspect the object, it might be gone (the srcu
lock having been dropped).
Given that there is only a single user of this helper, the simplest
option is to move the locking responsibility to the caller, which
can keep the srcu lock held for as long as it wants.
Note that this aligns with other kvm_io_bus*
fbdev: radeon: fix potential memory leak in radeonfb_pci_register()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: radeon: fix potential memory leak in radeonfb_pci_register()
The function radeonfb_pci_register() allocates memory for modelist
(by calling radeon_check_modes() which calls fb_add_videomode()).
The memory is appended to info->modelist, but is not freed in subsequent
error paths. Fix this by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
fbdev: i740fb: fix potential memory leak in i740fb_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: i740fb: fix potential memory leak in i740fb_probe()
In i740fb_probe(), the memory allocated in fb_videomode_to_modelist()
for modelist is not freed in the error paths. Fix that by calling
fb_destroy_modelist().
fbdev: s3fb: fix potential memory leak in s3_pci_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: s3fb: fix potential memory leak in s3_pci_probe()
In s3_pci_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using
fb_videomode_to_modelist() is not freed in subsequent error paths.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist()
fbdev: uvesafb: fix potential memory leak in uvesafb_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: uvesafb: fix potential memory leak in uvesafb_probe()
Due to an incorrect goto label, memory allocated for modedb and modelist
in uvesafb_vbe_init() is not freed in some error paths. Fix this by
updating the goto label.
fbdev: tdfxfb: fix potential memory leak in tdfxfb_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: tdfxfb: fix potential memory leak in tdfxfb_probe()
In tdfxfb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using
fb_videomode_to_modelist() when CONFIG_FB_3DFX_I2C is defined, is not
freed in the subsequent error paths.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
fbdev: carminefb: fix potential memory leak in alloc_carmine_fb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: carminefb: fix potential memory leak in alloc_carmine_fb()
The memory allocated for modelist in fb_videomode_to_modelist() is not
freed in the subsequent error path.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist()
fbdev: nvidia: fix potential memory leak in nvidiafb_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: nvidia: fix potential memory leak in nvidiafb_probe()
In nvidiafb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist in
nvidia_set_fbinfo() is not freed in the subsequent error paths.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
fbdev: tridentfb: fix potential memory leak in trident_pci_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: tridentfb: fix potential memory leak in trident_pci_probe()
In trident_pci_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using
fb_videomode_to_modelist() is not freed in subsequent error paths.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
netfilter: xt_cluster: reject template conntracks in hash match
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_cluster: reject template conntracks in hash match
xt_cluster_mt() treats any non-NULL nf_ct_get() result as a fully
initialized conntrack and passes it to xt_cluster_hash().
This causes a state confusion bug when the raw table CT target attaches
a template conntrack to skb->_nfct before normal conntrack processing.
Templates carry IPS_TEMPLATE status but do not have a valid tuple for
hashing yet, so xt_cluster_hash() can hit its WARN_ON() path on the
zeroed l3num field.
Reject template conntracks before hashing them. This matches existing
netfilter handling
netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst
The br_netfilter fake rtable is embedded in struct net_bridge and is
attached to bridged packets with skb_dst_set_noref(). If such a packet is
queued to NFQUEUE, __nf_queue() upgrades that fake dst with
skb_dst_force().
At that point the queued skb can hold a real dst reference after bridge
teardown has started. The problem is not that every bridged packet needs
its own dst reference. The problem is that NFQUEUE can keep the bridge
private fake dst alive after unregister begins.
Fix this by keeping the br
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: validate skb_dst() before accessing it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: validate skb_dst() before accessing it
tc ingress and openvswitch do not guarantee routing information to be
available. These subsystems use the conntrack helper infrastructure, and
the SIP helper relies on the skb_dst() to be present if
sip_external_media is set to 1 (which is disabled by default as a module
parameter).
This effectively disables the sip_external_media toggle for these
subsystems without resulting in a crash.
netfilter: nf_nat_sip: reload possible stale data pointer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_nat_sip: reload possible stale data pointer
quoting sashiko:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[..] noticed a potential memory bug and header corruption involving the
SIP NAT helper.
In net/netfilter/nf_nat_sip.c:nf_nat_sip():
if (skb_ensure_writable(skb, skb->len)) {
nf_ct_helper_log(skb, ct, "cannot mangle packet");
return NF_DROP;
}
uh = (void *)skb->data + protoff;
uh->dest = ct_sip_info->forced_dport;
if (!nf_nat_mangle_udp_packet(skb, ct, ctinfo, protoff,
0, 0, NULL, 0)) {

netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: guard mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defrag
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: guard mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defrag
nf_ct_frag6_reasm() slides the packet head forward to drop the IPv6
fragment header and then unconditionally advances skb->mac_header:
skb->mac_header += sizeof(struct frag_hdr);
On the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT defrag path the skb has no link-layer header
yet, so skb->mac_header is still the "not set" sentinel (u16)~0U. Adding
sizeof(struct frag_hdr) wraps it to a small value (0xffff + 8 == 7),
after which skb_mac_header_was_set() wrongly reports a MAC header is
present and skb_mac_header() points into
netfilter: nf_conncount: fix zone comparison in tuple dedup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conncount: fix zone comparison in tuple dedup
The "already exists" dedup logic in __nf_conncount_add() decides
whether a connection has already been counted and can be skipped instead
of incrementing the connlimit count. It compares the conntrack zone of a
list entry with the zone of the connection being added using
nf_ct_zone_id() and nf_ct_zone_equal(), passing conn->zone.dir or
zone->dir as the direction argument.
Those helpers take enum ip_conntrack_dir values: IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL is 0
and IP_CT_DIR_REPLY is 1. However, zone->dir is a u8 bitmask:

gpu: host1x: Fix device reference leak in host1x_device_parse_dt() error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpu: host1x: Fix device reference leak in host1x_device_parse_dt() error path
After device_initialize(), the embedded struct device in struct
host1x_device should be released through the device core with
put_device().
In host1x_device_add(), if host1x_device_parse_dt() fails, the current
error path frees the object directly with kfree(device). That bypasses
the normal device lifetime handling and leaks the reference held on the
embedded struct device.
The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
Fix this by using put_devi
selinux: check connect-related permissions on TCP Fast Open
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: check connect-related permissions on TCP Fast Open
Similar to Landlock, SELinux was not updated when TCP Fast Open
support was introduced to ensure connect-related permissions are
checked when using TCP Fast Open. Update its socket_sendmsg() hook to
call selinux_socket_connect() when MSG_FASTOPEN is passed.
selinux: avoid sk_socket dereference in selinux_sctp_bind_connect()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: avoid sk_socket dereference in selinux_sctp_bind_connect()
selinux_sctp_bind_connect() dereferences sk->sk_socket to pass a
struct socket * to selinux_socket_bind() and
selinux_socket_connect_helper(). However, when the hook is invoked
from the ASCONF softirq path (sctp_process_asconf), there is no file
reference guaranteeing that sk->sk_socket is non-NULL. The setsockopt
callers (bindx, connectx, set_primary, sendmsg connect) hold a file
reference and are not affected.
Both selinux_socket_bind() and selinux_socket_connect_helper()
immediately resolve sock->sk,
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
leds: uleds: Fix potential buffer overread
The name string supplied by userspace is not guaranteed to be
null-terminated, so using strchr() on it might result in a buffer
overread. The same thing will happen when said string is used by
the LED class device.
Fix this by using strnchr() instead and explicitly check that
the name string is properly null-terminated.
mfd: sm501: Fix reference leak on failed device registration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: sm501: Fix reference leak on failed device registration
When platform_device_register() fails in sm501_register_device(), the
embedded struct device in pdev has already been initialized by
device_initialize(), but the failure path only reports the error and
returns without dropping the device reference for the current platform
device:
sm501_register_device()
-> platform_device_register(pdev)
-> device_initialize(&pdev->dev)
-> setup_pdev_dma_masks(pdev)
-> platform_device_add(pdev)
This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_registe
