namespace: don't let a pseudo dentry become the root of a mount
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: don't let a pseudo dentry become the root of a mount
d_alloc_pseudo() hands out dentries for pipes, sockets and other files
that are never anyone's child or parent. They carry DCACHE_NORCU and
dentry_free() frees them right away because no lockless path walk can
ever reach them. That holds as long as such a dentry isn't the root of
a mount. But bind mounting /proc/self/fd/<fd> of such a file does
exactly that.
Most callers of alloc_file_pseudo() put their files on kernel-internal
mounts and may_copy_tree() refuses those. bpf_token_create() doesn't. It
places the
namespace: unhash a dentry before detaching the mounts on it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: unhash a dentry before detaching the mounts on it
unlink(), rmdir() and rename() remove the entry from the filesystem,
call detach_mounts() on the entry with the inode locked and then call
d_delete() once the inode is unlocked.
The thing is that between detach_mounts() and d_delete() the dentry is
still hashed and positive. But after detach_mounts() nothing covers the
dentry anymore. A lookup that finds this dentry in the dcache can
uncover what the mounts hid.
That's a problem when unlinking files or directories that are
mountpoints in other mount namespaces.
namei: don't reveal overmounted entries in refwalk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namei: don't reveal overmounted entries in refwalk
In rcuwalk the dentry is validated before it is accepted. step_into()
step_into() rechecks d_seq and __follow_mount_rcu() rechecks mount_lock.
An entry that gets unlinked in between causes the lookup to retry and
miss.
A refwalk doesn't do this. lookup_fast() takes a reference on the hashed
dentry and simply accepts it. So an unlink that happens after the
reference was taken isn't seen by refwalk. That's fine for a simple
file. We just happened to open it before it was unlinked, no problem.
For a mountpoint and specifical
namespace: refuse an automount below a mount that is in no namespace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: refuse an automount below a mount that is in no namespace
It's possible to add autmounts even when the parent mount isn't in the
mount namespace of the caller. The only requirement we have is that the
parent mount namespace must not be NULL, i.e., unmounted.
Problem is that clone_private_mount() has MNT_NS_INTERNAL which makes
that trivially true. So that passes the test and attach_recursive_mnt()
accepts that as a mount point and funny enough, count_mounts()
dereferences MNT_NS_INTERNAL. The problem is it is an error pointer...
So we can reach this in userspac
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: never expire a locked mount
Locked mounts are special. They protect the underlying files and
directories from being revealed. do_umount() refuses to unmount locked
mounts but shrink_submounts() doesn't.
A shrinkable mount can become locked once the owner of a user namespace
puts it beneath a locked mount with MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH. The locked
property now moves to the mount at the bottom making it possible to
unmount the top mount.
So umount() of an unlocked ancestor now expires the bottom mount first
and the covered directory is revealed:
move_mount(c -> x/hid
namespace: handle mount locking for automounts correctly
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: handle mount locking for automounts correctly
If mounts are propagated across user namespaces, attach_recursive_mnt()
locks every copy of the source mount to protect overmounts from
vanishing and revealing the underlying files or directories.
The user namespace is taken from the caller's mount namespaces since
this is where the mounts end up. Except, that's not always true.
Automounts may legitimately get popped in by tasks located in a
different mount and user namespace during path lookup.
Then check doesn't make sense at that point. The copy in the namespace
xfs: stop exchanging reflink flags when exchanging mappings
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: stop exchanging reflink flags when exchanging mappings
When an exchange covers both files from offset 0 to i_disk_size,
xmi_can_exchange_reflink_flags() assumes every mapping moved and hands
the reflink flag over to the other file.
That assumption is wrong. A file can still own shared blocks past
i_disk_size, e.g. after EXCHANGE_RANGE_TO_EOF sets a smaller size
without unmapping anything. The flag is cleared anyway, and the next
write to such a block happens in place instead of CoW, corrupting the
other file that shares it.
Commit a23eca88448e ("xfs: fix exchange-r
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix exchange-range-to-eof file size exchange
Norbert Szetei posted a patch containing an incomplete description of a
bug in XFS_IOC_EXCHANGE_RANGE's TO_EOF flag. The bug tricks
exchange-range into modifying a file so that it has shared blocks
starting beyond EOF, which is never allowed because files never have
written data beyond EOF, and you can only share written data blocks.
This is key to all the incorrect behavior that follows.
Eventually I got from Norbert a description of what's going wrong:

cgroup/cpuset: Don't access cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root in is_in_v2_mode()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup/cpuset: Don't access cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root in is_in_v2_mode()
After seeing the patch [1] to guard is_in_v2_mode() with RCU, it makes
me realize that is_in_v2_mode() may be called in a context where a new
cgroup filesystem is being rebound with stale cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root
pointer. Avoid this potential UaF situation by adding a new cpuset_v2_mode
flag which is set when the cpuset_v2_mode mount option is used. This
flag is written into only when cpuset_bind() is being called with a
stable cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root value. The is_in_v2_mode() helper is
modified to read
gpio: exar: initialize the ID before registering its cleanup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: exar: initialize the ID before registering its cleanup
devm_add_action_or_reset() invokes the cleanup action immediately when
registering the action fails. gpio_exar_probe() currently stores the
allocated ID in exar_gpio only after registering the action, so that
failure makes exar_devm_ida_free() release ID 0. If the allocated ID is
nonzero, this leaks that ID and can free ID 0 belonging to another device.
Store the ID before registering the cleanup action so both the immediate
failure path and normal device teardown release the correct allocation.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Free the BO cache size list on teardown
vc4_bo_cache_destroy() purges the cached BOs but never frees the size
list, leaking it on every unbind.
net/sched: em_text: reject unterminated algo before autoload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: em_text: reject unterminated algo before autoload
This is a follow-up to commit 9c572a83037a ("net/sched: fix potential
stack infoleak in em_text_dump()"), which zero-initialised the dump-side
struct. Sashiko pointed at a pre-existing bug that exposed the change-side
input-validation gap open.
em_text_change() casts the raw netlink attribute payload to struct
tcf_em_text and passes conf->algo, a 16-byte array with no enforced NUL
terminator, to textsearch_prepare(). On the TS_AUTOLOAD retry
textsearch_prepare() calls request_module("ts_%s", algo); vsnprintf()

amt: send the relay's General Query directly from the receive path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
amt: send the relay's General Query directly from the receive path
An skb queued in a qdisc can outlive the tunnel it references
through a raw pointer in skb->cb. For example, with igmp_qrv set
to 1 on the relay a tunnel lives for 135s, so a netem delay of
180s on the amt device outlives it; when the tunnel expires and is
freed, the subsequent dequeue triggers a use-after-free in
amt_dev_xmit().

cxgb4/ch_ktls: disable softirqs around tid_list erases
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxgb4/ch_ktls: disable softirqs around tid_list erases
chcr_ktls_cpl_act_open_rpl() inserts into tid_list from the receive path
using xa_insert_bh(). The array is shared by the adapter's connections
and initialized with XA_FLAGS_LOCK_BH. However, chcr_ktls_dev_del() and
the chcr_ktls_dev_add() error path use xa_erase(), which takes the XArray
lock without disabling softirqs.
When cleanup runs with softirqs enabled, a receive softirq for another
connection on the same CPU can interrupt the erase and spin on the lock
held by the interrupted task. Use xa_erase_bh() at both

We need to release the reference on the old BPF prog, whether
we are going to no-prog, or replacing the prog with another.
Spotted by AI while running tests for the propagation series

nvmet: use the local P2P device on metadata allocation failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: use the local P2P device on metadata allocation failure
nvmet_req_alloc_p2pmem_sgls() assigns req->p2p_dev only after the data
and metadata SGL allocations succeed. If the data allocation succeeds
but the metadata allocation fails, out_free_sg passes req->p2p_dev to
pci_p2pmem_free_sgl() before that assignment has taken place.
Pass the local p2p_dev argument instead, so cleanup uses the same PCI
device as the successful data allocation.
btrfs: fix xattr replace when multiple xattrs are packed in the same item
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix xattr replace when multiple xattrs are packed in the same item
If we have a btrfs_dir_item item that packs multiple xattrs and then we
replace the value of one of them (with the setxattr(2) family of syscalls)
with another value of a different size, we end up not having a fully
initialized btrfs_dir_item, resulting in a corruption that the tree
checker will detect at extent buffer writeback time.
This is because in btrfs_setxattr() when we find a btrfs_dir_item with
multiple xattrs (due to the crc32c hash of their name being the same)
we delete one of the xattr
wifi: mt76: account non-AQL frames per peer rather than per link
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: account non-AQL frames per peer rather than per link
The driver increments wcid->non_aql_packets when a frame goes to the
hardware queue. The completion path decrements the counter again.
For an MLO peer, the hardware reports the completion on the link that it
used for the transmission. This link can differ from the link that the
driver queued the frame on. In that case, the increment and the
decrement go to different link wcids, and the count drifts upwards until
it blocks the station.
Keep the count on the wcid of the primary link, like the other peer-wide

wifi: mt76: mt7915: disable rx napi when removing device
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7915: disable rx napi when removing device
Unloading the mt7915e module with a MT7916 triggers multiples WARN in
__netif_napi_del_locked() and in page_pool_disable_direct_recycling()
because the driver does not disable the napi before destroying it.
This is troublesome since on MT7916 it is required to unload the module
and reinsert it with a different enable_6ghz parameter to change the
frequency. The system generally becomes unstable after reinserting the
module.
Fix it by disabling rx napi inside mt7915e itself, even through napi rx is
enabled in the mt7

ASoC: adau1372: allow sleepy powerdown GPIOs
gpiod_set_value() emits a WARN when the GPIO provider indicates that it
can sleep, as is typical for I2C controlled GPIO expanders. Since the
powerdown GPIO is only manipulated in process context, use the _cansleep
variant instead. This lets the driver use sleepy GPIOs to power off the
chip.
