cpufreq: zero-initialize policy cpumask before sysfs publication
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: zero-initialize policy cpumask before sysfs publication
cpufreq_policy_alloc() allocates policy->cpus with alloc_cpumask_var(),
i.e. without __GFP_ZERO, unlike the sibling related_cpus and real_cpus
masks. With CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y the mask is a separate
kmalloc_node() allocation, so its bitmap holds whatever the slab allocator
left behind:
cpufreq_online()
cpufreq_policy_alloc()
alloc_cpumask_var(&policy->cpus) /* bitmap is uninitialized */
kobject_init_and_add() /* policy%u/ appears in sysfs */
cpufreq_policy_online()
cpufreq: initialize policy rwsem before sysfs publication
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: initialize policy rwsem before sysfs publication
cpufreq_policy_alloc() initializes policy->rwsem after
kobject_init_and_add() has created the policy sysfs directory and its
default attributes. A sysfs access can therefore reach a policy callback
before the semaphore has been initialized.
Initialize policy->rwsem before publishing the policy kobject so sysfs
callbacks always see an initialized semaphore.
net/sched: act_api: release all action references on NEWACTION failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_api: release all action references on NEWACTION failure
When a batched RTM_NEWACTION request replaces an existing action,
tcf_idr_check_alloc() takes a temporary reference on it. If a later
action fails to initialize, tcf_action_destroy() uses strict release
semantics to clean up the actions initialized so far. For an action
bound to a filter, the strict check returns -EPERM without dropping
the temporary reference.
This error also makes tcf_action_destroy() return before releasing
subsequent entries. Any new action initialized between the bound
action and t
net: mpls: clear inner_protocol when the last label is popped
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mpls: clear inner_protocol when the last label is popped
skb_mpls_push() records the pre-encapsulation network header once, gated
on !skb->inner_protocol. skb_mpls_pop() never clears that record, so it
outlives the encapsulation it describes.
Open vSwitch can then re-push MPLS onto a packet whose
inner_network_header still points at the older, deeper offset: push a
label, pop every label, recirculate (ovs_flow_key_update() re-derives
key->eth.type and resets network_header, but leaves inner_*), then push
again. ovs_fragment() trusts the record:
skb->network_header =
netfilter: nf_log: unregister loggers before per-net teardown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_log: unregister loggers before per-net teardown
nf_log_syslog and nfnetlink_log unregister their per-network namespace
operations before unregistering their global logger backends. This
leaves a window where a sysctl or netlink writer can rebind the still-
registered logger after the per-net pre-exit callback cleared the old
selection.
The race looks like this:
CPU 0 CPU 1

unregister_pernet_subsys()
nf_log_unset(net, logger)
net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] = NULL
fbdev: vfb: defer cleanup until the last reference
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: vfb: defer cleanup until the last reference
FBIOGETCMAP takes a shallow snapshot of info->cmap and performs the
usercopy after dropping info->lock. vfb_remove() frees the colormap
immediately after unregistering the framebuffer, even when an open file
still holds a reference to fb_info. A concurrent driver unbind can
therefore free the colormap while the ioctl copies it to userspace.

ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix NULL dereference in lowpan_newlink
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix NULL dereference in lowpan_newlink
TUNSETLINK allows a TUN device to change its link-layer type to
ARPHRD_IEEE802154 without initializing ieee802154_ptr. lowpan_newlink()
checks only the device type before dereferencing the pointer, so an
RTM_NEWLINK request can trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Reject devices without ieee802154_ptr along with devices of the wrong type.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ieee802154: cc2520: fix FIFOP work use-after-free
The FIFOP interrupt handler queues cc2520_fifop_irqwork. On removal,
cc2520_remove() only flushes the work. The devm-managed FIFOP IRQ
remains active until after ->remove() returns and can queue the work
again after that flush, allowing it to run after the private data is
released.
Disable the work with disable_work_sync() instead of flushing it, so
the handler can no longer queue it once removal begins. Destroy the
buffer mutex last, since the worker and the stop callback invoked
through ieee802154_unregister_hw() both
ieee802154: hwsim: serialize pib updates to fix double-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ieee802154: hwsim: serialize pib updates to fix double-free
hwsim_update_pib() does an unserialized read-swap-free of phy->pib:
pib_old = rtnl_dereference(phy->pib);
...
rcu_assign_pointer(phy->pib, pib);
kfree_rcu(pib_old, rcu);
It assumes the RTNL is held, but ->set_channel is not always called
under it: the mac802154 scan worker changes channels via
drv_set_channel() without the RTNL. Such an update can race an
RTNL-held one on the same phy; both read the same pib_old and both
kfree_rcu() it, double-freeing the object. With SLUB percpu sheaves
batching kfree_rcu(),
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: fib: bound automatic table ID allocation
fib_empty_table() probes every table ID from 1 until it finds a
free one. IPv4 tables are stored in a 256-bucket hash table, so a
dense set of IDs makes each probe walk a growing hash chain while
RTNL is held.
Automatic table assignment ("ip rule ... table 0") is an IPv4-only
legacy path. Bound the automatically allocated ID to 4096 so the
RTNL hold stays bounded, without changing lookups of explicitly
specified table IDs.
This changes user-visible behavior. A table-0 rule previously
received the lowest free ID in 1..RT_TA

ipv6: flowlabel: cap duplicate leases per socket
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: flowlabel: cap duplicate leases per socket
ipv6_flowlabel_get() allocates an ipv6_fl_socklist entry for every
successful GET. The recheck path for a compatible existing flowlabel
links another lease without applying any lease admission check. Repeated
GET requests for one shareable label can therefore grow a socket's lease
list without bound.
Reject a new unprivileged lease once the socket already holds
FL_MAX_PER_SOCK leases. Check this on the shared recheck path so reuse
of a globally interned label, including the fl_intern() collision path,
is covered as well. New
ipvs: reject invalid states in connection template sync records
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: reject invalid states in connection template sync records
IPVS sync receivers validate protocol states before creating or updating a
connection. For connection templates, however, they only log states outside
the template state range and still store the value in the connection.
A template can be returned by ordinary connection lookup. TCP and SCTP then
use the invalid state as an index into their transition tables.
Reject invalid template states in both sync protocol versions before
looking up or modifying a connection. The version 1 path handles both
IPv4 and IPv6
hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix use-after-free in alarm work
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix use-after-free in alarm work
fan_alarm_irq_handler() queues fan_data->alarm_work, but nothing
cancels it. fan_alarm_notify() dereferences fan_data and its hwmon
device. On unbind, devres frees the interrupt, which only waits for
the handler itself, and then releases the hwmon device and fan_data,
so a pending fan_alarm_notify() can run after those frees.
Replace INIT_WORK() with devm_work_autocancel(), registered before
devm_request_irq(). The devres cleanup then frees the interrupt
first, so no new work can be queued, and cancels the work while

bnxt_en: Propagate RX ring init failures in bnxt_init_nic()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Propagate RX ring init failures in bnxt_init_nic()
bnxt_init_rx_rings() returns an error when bnxt_alloc_one_rx_ring()
fails, but bnxt_init_nic() discards that return value and calls
bnxt_init_chip(), which enables TPA.
If an allocation fails, this could leave rxr->rx_tpa[] partially zeroed
and TPA would be enabled over an array with zeroed entries. This would
lead to a zeroed DMA address being handed out if the agg_idx is
translated to a SW index at a zeroed entry.
Fix this by propagating the error out of bnxt_init_nic(). Both callers
already check its return va
smb: client: reject short READ responses in CIFSSMBRead()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: reject short READ responses in CIFSSMBRead()
CIFSSMBRead() reads DataLengthHigh, DataLength and DataOffset out of
the READ_RSP returned by the server without first checking that a
whole READ_RSP was actually received. The length of the response is
recorded in rsp_iov.iov_len, but nothing constrains it to be at least
read_rsp_size before those fields are dereferenced.
A malicious or compromised SMB1 server can return a response shorter
than the READ_RSP header, so that parsing the header itself reads past
the end of the receive buffer. SMB1 is not negotiated by
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: reject userspace cifs.idmap descriptions
cifs.idmap key descriptions carry authority-bearing fields (owner and
group SIDs and uid/gid values in "os:"/"gs:"/"oi:"/"gi:" form) that the
cifs.idmap upcall helper treats as kernel-originating inputs. Unlike
its sibling cifs.spnego, the cifs.idmap key type has no vet_description
hook, so userspace can create keys of this type through
request_key(2)/add_key(2) and supply those fields without CIFS origin.
A request_key(2) call with a non-NULL callout then drives a root
usermodehelper upcall (/sbin/request-key -> cifs.i
smb: client: reject out-of-bounds DataOffset in CIFSSMBRead()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: reject out-of-bounds DataOffset in CIFSSMBRead()
The SMB1 synchronous read helper CIFSSMBRead() validates the server's
DataLength against CIFSMaxBufSize and the caller's count, but never
validates DataOffset. The copy source is formed as
&pSMBr->hdr.Protocol + le16_to_cpu(pSMBr->DataOffset)
and memcpy()'d for DataLength bytes with no check that the
[DataOffset, DataOffset + DataLength) range lies within the response
actually received from the server.
A malicious or compromised SMB1 server can return a response carrying
an in-range DataLength and a large Dat

smb: client: honor forceuid/forcegid when mapping SIDs to uid/gid
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: honor forceuid/forcegid when mapping SIDs to uid/gid
When the administrator mounts with forceuid or forcegid (uid=/gid=
mount options), they expect all files to appear owned by the specified
user/group. However, several code paths unconditionally called
sid_to_id() to overwrite cf_uid/cf_gid with server-provided values,
ignoring the administrator's explicit override:
- smb311_posix_info_to_fattr() (stat via POSIX extensions)
- cifs_posix_to_fattr() (readdir via POSIX extensions)
- parse_sec_desc() (CIFS ACL ownership mapping)
This allowed an untrusted
smb: client: avoid leaking refcount in cifs_queue_oplock_break()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: avoid leaking refcount in cifs_queue_oplock_break()
cifs_queue_oplock_break() unconditionally takes a reference on the
target file before queueing cifs_oplock_break(). Only that work item
decreases the reference counter again.
If another oplock break arrives while that work is still queued,
queue_work() will return false and not queue this second work item. As a
result, we will never reach the point to drop the file reference again
and are leaking this reference. This can be triggered when interacting
with a slow-responding server.
As a result, later unmount
smb: client: avoid using uninitialized SIDs in cifs_posix_to_fattr()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: avoid using uninitialized SIDs in cifs_posix_to_fattr()
cifs_posix_to_fattr() ignores the return value of posix_info_parse().
When a malformed POSIX directory entry is encountered (e.g. invalid
SID lengths from an untrusted server), posix_info_parse() returns -1
without populating the 'parsed' struct. The uninitialized stack
memory in parsed.owner and parsed.group is then passed to
sid_to_id(), which processes the garbage bytes and passes them to
request_key() to construct a SID string, potentially leaking kernel
stack contents to the userspace idmap daemon.
