crypto: qat - remove unused character device and IOCTLs
The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs
for device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration.
These IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known
in-tree or out-of-tree users. Device lifecycle is already managed via
sysfs.
The ioctl interface also increases the attack surface and is the
subject of a number of bug reports.
Remove the character device, the IOCTL definitions, and the related
data structures (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: samsung: Remove redundant port lock acquisition in rx helpers
Sashiko identified a deadlock when the console flow is engaged [1].
When console flow control is enabled (UPF_CONS_FLOW),
s3c24xx_serial_stop_tx() calls s3c24xx_serial_rx_enable() and
s3c24xx_serial_start_tx() calls s3c24xx_serial_rx_disable().
The serial core framework invokes the .stop_tx() and .start_tx()
callbacks with the port->lock spinlock already held. Furthermore, all
internal driver paths that invoke stop_tx (such as the DMA TX
completion handler s3c24xx_serial_tx_dma_complete() or the PI
userfaultfd: gate must_wait writability check on pte_present()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
userfaultfd: gate must_wait writability check on pte_present()
userfaultfd_must_wait() and userfaultfd_huge_must_wait() read the PTE
without taking the page table lock and then apply pte_write() /
huge_pte_write() to it. Those accessors decode bits from the present
encoding only; on a swap or migration entry they read the offset bits that
happen to share the same position and return an undefined result.
The intent of the check is "is this fault still WP-blocked?". A
non-marker swap entry means the page is in transit -- the userfault
context the original fault delivered a
KVM: x86: Unconditionally recompute CR8 intercept on PPR update
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Unconditionally recompute CR8 intercept on PPR update
The TPR_THRESHOLD field in the VMCS is used by VMX to induce VM exits
when the guest's virtual TPR falls under the specified threshold,
allowing KVM to inject previously masked interrupts.
KVM handles these VM exits in handle_tpr_below_threshold().
Commit eb90f3417a0c ("KVM: vmx: speed up TPR below threshold vmexits")
optimized this function by calling apic_update_ppr() instead of raising
KVM_REQ_EVENT. apic_update_ppr() then raises KVM_REQ_EVENT if there is
a pending, deliverable interrupt.
However, if there
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: NFIT: core: Fix acpi_nfit_init() error cleanup
If acpi_nfit_init() fails after adding the acpi_desc object to the
acpi_descs list, that object is never removed from that list because
the acpi_nfit_shutdown() devm action is not added for the NFIT device
in that case. Next, the acpi_nfit_init() failure causes
acpi_nfit_probe() to fail, the acpi_desc object is freed, and a
dangling pointer is left behind in the acpi_descs. Any subsequent
ACPI Machine Check Exception will trigger nfit_handle_mce() which
iterates over acpi_descs and so a use-after-free will occur.

iio: accel: bmc150: clamp the device-reported FIFO frame count
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: bmc150: clamp the device-reported FIFO frame count
__bmc150_accel_fifo_flush() copies the number of samples the device
reports in its hardware FIFO into an on-stack buffer
u16 buffer[BMC150_ACCEL_FIFO_LENGTH * 3];
which is sized for at most BMC150_ACCEL_FIFO_LENGTH (32) samples. The
frame count is read from the FIFO_STATUS register and only masked to its
7 valid bits:
count = val & 0x7F;
so it can be 0..127. The only other limit applied to it is the optional
caller-supplied sample budget:
if (samples && count > samples)
count = samples;
which does not
iio: accel: kxsd9: fix runtime PM imbalance on write_raw() error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: kxsd9: fix runtime PM imbalance on write_raw() error
kxsd9_write_raw() takes a runtime PM reference with pm_runtime_get_sync()
but returns -EINVAL directly when a scale with a non-zero integer part is
requested, skipping the matching pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(). This leaks
a runtime PM usage-counter reference on every such write, after which the
device can no longer autosuspend.
Set the error code and fall through to the existing put instead of
returning early.
iio: adc: lpc32xx: Initialize completion before requesting IRQ
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In the report from Jaeyoung Chung:
"lpc32xx_adc_probe() in drivers/iio/adc/lpc32xx_adc.c registers its
interrupt handler with devm_request_irq() before it initializes
st->completion with init_completion(). If an interrupt arrives after

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: event: Fix event FIFO reset race
`iio_event_getfd()` creates the event file descriptor with
`anon_inode_getfd()`, which allocates a new fd, creates the anonymous
file and installs it in the process fd table before returning to the
caller.
The IIO code resets the event FIFO after `anon_inode_getfd()` has returned,
but before `IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL` has copied the fd number to userspace.
But since fd tables are shared between threads, another thread can guess
the newly allocated fd number and issue a `read()` on it as soon as the fd
has been installed.
This means the
iio: gyro: bmg160: bail out when bandwidth/filter is not in table
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: gyro: bmg160: bail out when bandwidth/filter is not in table
bmg160_get_filter() walks bmg160_samp_freq_table[] looking for the entry
matching the bw_bits value read from the chip:
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(bmg160_samp_freq_table); ++i) {
if (bmg160_samp_freq_table[i].bw_bits == bw_bits)
break;
}
*val = bmg160_samp_freq_table[i].filter;
If no entry matches, i ends up equal to the array size and the next line
reads one slot past the end. bmg160_set_filter() has the same shape, driven
by 'val' instead of bw_bits.
smatch flags both:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: aoa: check snd_ctl_new1() return value
snd_ctl_new1() can return NULL when memory allocation fails. In
layout.c, the function does not check the return value before
dereferencing ctl->id.name or passing to aoa_snd_ctl_add(), which can
lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL checks after snd_ctl_new1() calls and return early if any
fails.
ALSA: caiaq: fix out-of-bounds read in the Traktor Kontrol S4 input parser
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: fix out-of-bounds read in the Traktor Kontrol S4 input parser
snd_usb_caiaq_tks4_dispatch() decodes the Traktor Kontrol S4 input
stream in fixed 16-byte (TKS4_MSGBLOCK_SIZE) message blocks. On every
iteration it advances buf and subtracts the block size while looping on
"while (len)".
len is urb->actual_length. That value is supplied by the device and is
not guaranteed to be a multiple of 16. When a final short block leaves
len between 1 and 15, the loop runs once more, reads up to buf[15], and
then does "len -= TKS4_MSGBLOCK_SIZE". As len is unsigned this und
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: es1938: check snd_ctl_new1() return value
snd_ctl_new1() can return NULL when memory allocation fails.
snd_es1938_mixer() does not check the return value before dereferencing
the pointer, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
Add a NULL check after snd_ctl_new1() and return -ENOMEM if it fails.
ALSA: firewire: isight: bound the sample count to the packet payload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: firewire: isight: bound the sample count to the packet payload
isight_packet() takes the frame count from the device iso packet and
checks it only against the device claimed iso length.
count = be32_to_cpu(payload->sample_count);
if (likely(count <= (length - 16) / 4))
isight_samples(isight, payload->samples, count);
length is the iso header data_length. It can be up to 0xffff. So the
gate allows a count up to about 16379. isight_samples() then copies
count frames out of payload->samples into the PCM DMA buffer.
payload->samples holds only 2 * MAX_FRAMES_PER_PA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix UAF in binder_thread_release()
When a thread exits, binder_thread_release() walks its transaction stack
to clear the t->from and t->to_proc that correspond with the exiting
thread. However, a process dying in parallel might attempt to kfree some
of these transactions. And if one of them has no associated t->to_proc,
the t->to_proc->inner_lock will not be acquired.
This means that transaction accesses in binder_thread_release() after
t->to_proc has been cleared might race with binder_free_transaction()
and cause a use-after-free error as reported by KASAN:

usb: xhci: Fix sleep in atomic context in xhci_free_streams()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix sleep in atomic context in xhci_free_streams()
When a USB device with active stream endpoints is disconnected,
xhci_free_streams() is called from the hub_event workqueue to
free the stream resources. It calls xhci_free_stream_info()
while holding xhci->lock with irqs disabled.
xhci_free_stream_info() invokes xhci_free_stream_ctx(), which
calls dma_free_coherent() for large stream context arrays.
dma_free_coherent() can sleep (e.g. via vunmap), triggering
a BUG when called from atomic context.

PCI: mediatek: Fix IRQ domain leak when port fails to enable
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: mediatek: Fix IRQ domain leak when port fails to enable
When mtk_pcie_enable_port() fails, mtk_pcie_port_free() removes the port
from pcie->ports and frees the port structure. However, the IRQ domains set
up earlier by mtk_pcie_init_irq_domain() are never freed.
Fix this by refactoring mtk_pcie_irq_teardown() into a per-port helper,
mtk_pcie_irq_teardown_port(), and calling it from mtk_pcie_setup() when
mtk_pcie_enable_port() fails. Since the IRQ teardown must only happen in
the probe error path (during resume, child devices may have active MSI
mappings and the NOIRQ
