In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: Handle probe errors properly
The probe procedure of setup_card() in caiaq driver doesn't treat the
error cases gracefully, e.g. the error from snd_card_register() calls
snd_card_free() but continues. This would lead to a UAF for the
further calls like snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(), as Berk suggested in
another patch in the link below.
However, the problem is not only that; in general, this function drops
the all error handlings (as it's a void function) although its caller
can propagate an error to snd_probe(), which eventually calls
snd_card_free() as a prope
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: ns: Limit the total number of nodes
Currently, the nameserver doesn't limit the number of nodes it handles.
This can be an attack vector if a malicious client starts registering
random nodes, leading to memory exhaustion.
Hence, limit the maximum number of nodes to 64. Note that, limit of 64 is
chosen based on the current platform requirements. If requirement changes
in the future, this limit can be increased.
ext2: reject inodes with zero i_nlink and valid mode in ext2_iget()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext2: reject inodes with zero i_nlink and valid mode in ext2_iget()
ext2_iget() already rejects inodes with i_nlink == 0 when i_mode is
zero or i_dtime is set, treating them as deleted. However, the case of
i_nlink == 0 with a non-zero mode and zero dtime slips through. Since
ext2 has no orphan list, such a combination can only result from
filesystem corruption - a legitimate inode deletion always sets either
i_dtime or clears i_mode before freeing the inode.
A crafted image can exploit this gap to present such an inode to the
VFS, which then triggers WARN_ON inside drop_n
rxrpc: Fix conn-level packet handling to unshare RESPONSE packets
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix conn-level packet handling to unshare RESPONSE packets
The security operations that verify the RESPONSE packets decrypt bits of it
in place - however, the sk_buff may be shared with a packet sniffer, which
would lead to the sniffer seeing an apparently corrupt packet (actually
decrypted).
Fix this by handing a copy of the packet off to the specific security
handler if the packet was cloned.
erofs: fix unsigned underflow in z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix unsigned underflow in z_erofs_lz4_handle_overlap()
Some crafted images can have illegal (!partial_decoding &&
m_llen < m_plen) extents, and the LZ4 inplace decompression path
can be wrongly hit, but it cannot handle (outpages < inpages)
properly: "outpages - inpages" wraps to a large value and
the subsequent rq->out[] access reads past the decompressed_pages
array.
However, such crafted cases can correctly result in a corruption
report in the normal LZ4 non-inplace path.
Let's add an additional check to fix this for backporting.
Reproducible image (base64-enco
scsi: sd: fix missing put_disk() when device_add(&disk_dev) fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: sd: fix missing put_disk() when device_add(&disk_dev) fails
If device_add(&sdkp->disk_dev) fails, put_device() runs
scsi_disk_release(), which frees the scsi_disk but leaves the gendisk
referenced. The device_add_disk() error path in sd_probe() calls
put_disk(gd); call put_disk(gd) here to mirror that cleanup.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: imx: fix use-after-free on unbind
The SPI subsystem frees the controller and any subsystem allocated
driver data as part of deregistration (unless the allocation is device
managed).
Take another reference before deregistering the controller so that the
driver data is not freed until the driver is done with it.
ibmasm: fix OOB reads in command_file_write due to missing size checks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmasm: fix OOB reads in command_file_write due to missing size checks
The command_file_write() handler allocates a kernel buffer of exactly
count bytes and copies user data into it, but does not validate the
buffer against the dot command protocol before passing it to
get_dot_command_size() and get_dot_command_timeout().
Since both the allocation size (count) and the header fields (command_size,
data_size) are independently user-controlled, an attacker can cause
get_dot_command_size() to return a value exceeding the allocation,
triggering OOB reads in get_dot_command_time
LoongArch: Add spectre boundry for syscall dispatch table
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Add spectre boundry for syscall dispatch table
The LoongArch syscall number is directly controlled by userspace, but
does not have a array_index_nospec() boundry to prevent access past the
syscall function pointer tables.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: fix partition descriptor append bookkeeping
Mounting a crafted UDF image with repeated partition descriptors can
trigger a heap out-of-bounds write in part_descs_loc[].
handle_partition_descriptor() deduplicates entries by partition number,
but appended slots never record partnum. As a result duplicate
Partition Descriptors are appended repeatedly and num_part_descs keeps
growing.
Once the table is full, the growth path still sizes the allocation from
partnum even though inserts are indexed by num_part_descs. If partnum is
already aligned to PART_DESC_ALLOC_STEP, ALI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix re-decryption of RESPONSE packets
If a RESPONSE packet gets a temporary failure during processing, it may end
up in a partially decrypted state - and then get requeued for a retry.
Fix this by just discarding the packet; we will send another CHALLENGE
packet and thereby elicit a further response. Similarly, discard an
incoming CHALLENGE packet if we get an error whilst generating a RESPONSE;
the server will send another CHALLENGE.
KVM: nSVM: Sync interrupt shadow to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN of L2
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nSVM: Sync interrupt shadow to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN of L2
After VMRUN in guest mode, nested_sync_control_from_vmcb02() syncs
fields written by the CPU from vmcb02 to the cached vmcb12. This is
because the cached vmcb12 is used as the authoritative copy of some of
the controls, and is the payload when saving/restoring nested state.
int_state is also written by the CPU, specifically bit 0 (i.e.
SVM_INTERRUPT_SHADOW_MASK) for nested VMs, but it is not sync'd to
cached vmcb12. This does not cause a problem if KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
preceeds KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS in the r
crypto: ccree - fix a memory leak in cc_mac_digest()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccree - fix a memory leak in cc_mac_digest()
Add cc_unmap_result() if cc_map_hash_request_final()
fails to prevent potential memory leak.
ext4: don't set EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT when splitting before submitting I/O
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't set EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT when splitting before submitting I/O
When allocating blocks during within-EOF DIO and writeback with
dioread_nolock enabled, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PRE_IO was set to split an
existing large unwritten extent. However, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT was
set when calling ext4_split_convert_extents(), which may potentially
result in stale data issues.
Assume we have an unwritten extent, and then DIO writes the second half.

gfs2: Fix use-after-free in iomap inline data write path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Fix use-after-free in iomap inline data write path
The inline data buffer head (dibh) is being released prematurely in
gfs2_iomap_begin() via release_metapath() while iomap->inline_data
still points to dibh->b_data. This causes a use-after-free when
iomap_write_end_inline() later attempts to write to the inline data
area.
The bug sequence:
1. gfs2_iomap_begin() calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer() to read inode
metadata into dibh
2. Sets iomap->inline_data = dibh->b_data + sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode)
3. Calls release_metapath() which calls brelse(dibh), dropping refcount
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: never defer requests during idmap lookup
During v4 request compound arg decoding, some ops (e.g. SETATTR)
can trigger idmap lookup upcalls. When those upcall responses get
delayed beyond the allowed time limit, cache_check() will mark the
request for deferral and cause it to be dropped.
This prevents nfs4svc_encode_compoundres from being executed, and
thus the session slot flag NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE never gets cleared.
Subsequent client requests will fail with NFSERR_JUKEBOX, given
that the slot will be marked as in-use, making the SEQUENCE op
fail.
Fix this by making su
ACPICA: Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch()
Cover a missed execution path with a new check.
s390/cio: Fix device lifecycle handling in css_alloc_subchannel()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cio: Fix device lifecycle handling in css_alloc_subchannel()
`css_alloc_subchannel()` calls `device_initialize()` before setting up
the DMA masks. If `dma_set_coherent_mask()` or `dma_set_mask()` fails,
the error path frees the subchannel structure directly, bypassing
the device model reference counting.
Once `device_initialize()` has been called, the embedded struct device
must be released via `put_device()`, allowing the release callback to
free the container structure.
Fix the error path by dropping the initial device reference with
`put_device()` instead of calli
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: greybus: lights: avoid NULL deref
gb_lights_light_config() stores channel_count before allocating the
channels array. If kcalloc() fails, gb_lights_release() iterates the
non-zero count and dereferences light->channels, which is NULL.
Allocate channels first and only then publish channels_count so the
cleanup path can't walk a NULL pointer.
btrfs: fix invalid leaf access in btrfs_quota_enable() if ref key not found
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix invalid leaf access in btrfs_quota_enable() if ref key not found
If btrfs_search_slot_for_read() returns 1, it means we did not find any
key greater than or equals to the key we asked for, meaning we have
reached the end of the tree and therefore the path is not valid. If
this happens we need to break out of the loop and stop, instead of
continuing and accessing an invalid path.
