In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: flush skb_defer_nodes in dev_cpu_dead()
When a CPU goes offline, dev_cpu_dead() drains its softnet queues
(completion_queue, output_queue, poll_list, process_queue, and
input_pkt_queue), but leaves net_hotdata.skb_defer_nodes untouched.
If oldcpu goes offline while holding pending skbs in its
skb_defer_nodes lists (e.g. below the sysctl_skb_defer_max >> 1 IPI
threshold, or if the IPI races with CPU teardown), those skbs remain
stranded until oldcpu is brought back online. If any of these skbs
hold page_pool fragments, page_pool_destroy() will stall indefinitely

gve: DQO: fix header length used by gve_can_send_tso() for UDP GSO
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: DQO: fix header length used by gve_can_send_tso() for UDP GSO
gve_can_send_tso() computes how many buffers each segment of a GSO
packet would span, and for this it needs the length of the headers
that the device replicates in front of every segment.
It unconditionally uses skb_tcp_all_headers(), which reads the doff
field of the TCP header. SKB_GSO_UDP_L4 packets have no TCP header:
tcp_hdrlen() then reads one byte of the UDP payload, and header_len
can be anything in [0, 60] instead of the transport offset plus the
eight bytes of the UDP header that gve_prep_tso() pr
gve: DQO: reject TSO packets with an out of range MSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: DQO: reject TSO packets with an out of range MSS
gve_prep_tso() notes that the device requires the MSS to be <= 9728,
but does not enforce it, assuming the 9K MTU enforced by the hypervisor
and the 64KB limit on TSO sizes are enough.
This does not hold for packets that were not generated locally.
A guest behind a tap, or any packet socket user, can provide an
arbitrary gso_size in virtio_net_hdr. Layer 2 forwarding does not check
the MTU for GSO packets (is_skb_forwardable()), and gso_features_check()
only bounds skb->len and gso_segs, never gso_size.

llc: fix skb UAF and leaks on llc_mac_hdr_init() failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: fix skb UAF and leaks on llc_mac_hdr_init() failure
In llc_conn_ac_resend_i_xxx_x_set_0_or_send_rr(), if llc_mac_hdr_init()
fails, kfree_skb(skb) is called instead of kfree_skb(nskb). This leaks
the newly allocated nskb, reads from the freed skb via LLC_I_GET_NR(pdu),
and double-frees skb when llc_conn_state_process() drops its reference.
In llc_sap_action_send_xid_r() and llc_sap_action_send_test_r(), nskb is
leaked if llc_mac_hdr_init() returns an error.
Free nskb in all three error paths.
vlan: ensure sufficient headroom in vlan_dev_hard_header()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vlan: ensure sufficient headroom in vlan_dev_hard_header()
Callers that only reserve ETH_HLEN or less (such as llc_alloc_frame()),
or skbs allocated before dynamic device/headroom changes (e.g. toggling
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR or bonding/team switching slaves), can reach
vlan_dev_hard_header() with insufficient headroom and trigger
skb_under_panic().
Use skb_cow_head() in vlan_dev_hard_header() when VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR
is not set to ensure sufficient headroom for the VLAN header(s) and the
underlying device hard header.
Use READ_ONCE() to read dev->hard_header_len and dev
autofs: fix sbi->pipe file reference leak in autofs_kill_sb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
autofs: fix sbi->pipe file reference leak in autofs_kill_sb()
When autofs_fill_super() fails before clearing AUTOFS_SBI_CATATONIC (for
example, when find_get_pid() fails on an invalid pgrp mount option, or
when an fs_context is closed before mounting), deactivate_locked_super()
invokes autofs_kill_sb() -> autofs_catatonic_mode(sbi).
Because AUTOFS_SBI_CATATONIC is still set in sbi->flags,
autofs_catatonic_mode() returns early without calling fput(sbi->pipe),
permanently leaking the pipe struct file reference.
Explicitly release sbi->pipe in autofs_kill_sb() if it is still
perf/core: Fix a refcount leak in attach_perf_ctx_data()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix a refcount leak in attach_perf_ctx_data()
The attach_perf_ctx_data() can race on global and !global cases. The
global case is protected by global_ctx_data_rwsem and shares a single
reference count using perf_ctx_data.global field.
But when it races with !global case, it may miss to set the global field
and result in a reference count leak.

perf/core: Fill branch entries with a single assignment
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fill branch entries with a single assignment
perf_clear_branch_entry_bitfields() clears the bitfields of struct
perf_branch_entry one by one and leaves from/to alone, since callers
overwrite those straight away. The list has to be kept in sync with the
struct by hand and has already fallen behind: new_type and priv were
added to perf_branch_entry and never added here.
Only BRBE writes those two, and neither for every record.
brbe_set_perf_entry_type() leaves new_type alone for a branch type it
does not recognise, and priv is not set for source-only records.

tipc: reject invalid and unexpected GRP_ACK_MSG to prevent bc_ackers underflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: reject invalid and unexpected GRP_ACK_MSG to prevent bc_ackers underflow
Commit 48a5fe38772b ("tipc: fix bc_ackers underflow on duplicate
GRP_ACK_MSG") rejected duplicate/stale ACKs in tipc_group_proto_rcv()
by returning early when less_eq(acked, m->bc_acked).
However, that check remains incomplete in two ways:
1. When grp->bc_ackers is zero (e.g. on a quiet group, when replicast
ACKs were not requested, or after all expected members have already
acknowledged), an unexpected GRP_ACK_MSG with acked > m->bc_acked
passes less_eq() and unconditionally decrement
tcp: prevent collapsing skbs across boundary in rtx queue
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: prevent collapsing skbs across boundary in rtx queue
tcp_write_collapse_fence() sets TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->eor = 1 on
tcp_write_queue_tail(sk) to prevent skbs queued after a switch to
device encryption from being collapsed into earlier skbs.
The fence is a no-op if all earlier data has already been transmitted
when the switch happens: sk->sk_write_queue is empty. The not yet
acknowledged earlier skbs wait in sk->tcp_rtx_queue with eor 0.
On a subsequent retransmit or SACK shift, tcp_retrans_try_collapse() or
tcp_shift_skb_data() can then merge an skb queued after the swit
sctp: discard the rest of the packet on a stale-cookie error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: discard the rest of the packet on a stale-cookie error
When an association is in COOKIE-ECHOED state and the peer sends a
bundled [ERROR(Stale Cookie)][DATA] packet from one of its non-primary
addresses, processing the ERROR chunk takes the non-fatal stale-cookie
retry path sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale(), which queues
SCTP_CMD_DEL_NON_PRIMARY while keeping the association alive.
sctp_cmd_del_non_primary() removes every non-primary transport -
including the very transport this packet arrived on, which is still
referenced by the receive lookup and shared by all chunks of the
af_packet: fix integer overflow in prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_packet: fix integer overflow in prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo()
prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() computes in 32-bit int arithmetic:
mbits = (blk_size_in_bytes * 8) / (1024 * 1024);
If I'm reading the validation right, tp_block_size is user
controlled and packet_set_ring() only rejects values that are <= 0
as int or not page aligned, so a 256MiB block goes right through
(and alloc_one_pg_vec_page() even has a vzalloc fallback for it).
0x10000000 * 8 wraps to INT_MIN, and on a NIC reporting 1 Gbps
(div == 1) the function ends up returning -2047.
The condition is actually (8
arm64/boot: Disable trapping of PMZR_EL0 writes to EL2
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64/boot: Disable trapping of PMZR_EL0 writes to EL2
__init_el2_fgt2() writes one mask to both HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2.
PMZR_EL0 is write-only, so its trap bit, nPMZR_EL0, exists only in
HDFGWTR2_EL2 and is therefore never set: a PMZR_EL0 write from the host
traps to EL2, where the nVHE hypervisor has no handler and BUG()s. The
kernel never writes PMZR_EL0, but kernel.perf_user_access=1 has the PMU
driver set PMUSERENR_EL0.UEN for a task with a user-read event, so a
write from EL0 reaches the trap and takes the host down without a panic
message.

ata: libata-scsi: bound the ATA passthru sense descriptor writes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-scsi: bound the ATA passthru sense descriptor writes
When an ATA PASS-THROUGH command to an ATAPI device fails, the sense
buffer holds the device's REQUEST SENSE reply, and
ata_scsi_set_passthru_sense_fields() trusts its additional length
byte, sb[7], when adding the ATA Status Return descriptor. A faulty
or malicious device can use that to make the kernel read and write
past the 96-byte buffer in three ways:
- scsi_sense_desc_find() is passed sb[7] + 8 as the buffer length, so
its clamp against sb[7] does nothing and the walk runs off the end.

Deleting iocpf_timer last does not fix this. sem_timer and

bpf: fs/xattr: don't assume the inode is locked in path_unlink/path_rmdir
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fs/xattr: don't assume the inode is locked in path_unlink/path_rmdir
bpf_lsm_has_d_inode_locked() makes the verifier rewrite
bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr() to the _locked variants, which assume
that the caller already holds the inode's i_rwsem. The path_unlink and
path_rmdir hooks are listed, but security_path_unlink() and
security_path_rmdir() run before vfs_unlink()/vfs_rmdir() take the
victim inode's i_rwsem, so a sleepable BPF LSM program attached to
either hook mutates the victim's xattrs without the lock held.
Drop the two path hooks from d_inode_locked_hooks
cgroup/cpuset: Return PERR_NOCPUS in remote_partition_enable() on subpartitions_cpus conflict
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup/cpuset: Return PERR_NOCPUS in remote_partition_enable() on subpartitions_cpus conflict
When a remote partition is created underneath an existing local partition
via a non-partition (PRS_MEMBER) intermediate cgroup, update_prstate() sees
parent->partition_root_state == PRS_MEMBER and calls
remote_partition_enable().
Commit 86888c7bd117 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add warnings to catch inconsistency

subpartitions_cpus) error check in remote_partition_enable() with

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: reject omitted FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO on FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT
Commit 7a9bc9e3f423 ("fou: Don't allow 0 for FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO.") added
NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_U8, 1) to fou_nl_policy[FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO], which
rejects an explicitly supplied FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO == 0 attribute with
-ERANGE.
However, FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO is an optional netlink attribute. When a user
sends FOU_CMD_ADD with FOU_ATTR_TYPE set to FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT and omits
FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO entirely, nla_policy validation succeeds and
parse_nl_config() leaves cfg->protocol as 0 (from memset(cfg, 0,

fprobe: Terminate the fgraph_data list when the reservation is not filled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fprobe: Terminate the fgraph_data list when the reservation is not filled
fprobe_fgraph_entry() reserves shadow stack space for every fprobe with
an exit handler, but only fills it for those whose entry handler returns
0. fgraph_reserve_data() does not clear the area, so fprobe_return()
parses the unused tail as headers left over from an earlier call, and an
exit handler can run twice or despite its entry handler asking to skip
it.
Write a zero word after the last entry to terminate the walk. A zeroed
slot does not decode to a NULL fprobe on the arches that encode the

fs/ntfs3: use d_instantiate_new() in ntfs_create_inode() and murder syzbot's "WARNING in do_new_mount" saga
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: use d_instantiate_new() in ntfs_create_inode() and murder syzbot's "WARNING in do_new_mount" saga
ntfs_create_inode() creates a new inode via ntfs_new_inode(). It hashes
it with insert_inode_locked() and so it's marked as I_NEW until
unlock_new_inode().
ntfs 3 calls d_instantiate() in between though... Since the dentry was
already hashed by the lookup before the create any path walk finds it
without touching the parent's i_rwsem and so can lock the inode.
If the inode is a directory unlock_new_inode() calls
lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key() and marks i_rwsem wi
