perf/x86/amd/core: Avoid enabling BRS from the SVM reload path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/amd/core: Avoid enabling BRS from the SVM reload path
Branch Sampling (BRS) and Last Branch Record (LBR) are mutually
exclusive hardware features, and users of both are tracked via
cpuc->lbr_users.
When SVM is toggled on a CPU, the host perf events are reprogrammed to
update the HostOnly filter bit (set when virtualization is enabled,
cleared when it is disabled). On PerfMonV2-capable processors, this
reprogramming is performed by calling amd_pmu_enable_all() to rewrite
the event selectors. However, amd_pmu_enable_all() also calls
amd_brs_enable_all(), which enabl
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: mvebu: free generic chips on unbind
irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() allocates generic chip data that must
be freed via irq_domain_remove_generic_chips(). The devres action
mvebu_gpio_remove_irq_domain() only called irq_domain_remove(), which
only frees the generic chips if IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC is set.
Call irq_domain_remove_generic_chips() explicitly before
irq_domain_remove() instead.
ipv4: igmp: Fix potential UAF in igmp_gq_start_timer()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: igmp: Fix potential UAF in igmp_gq_start_timer()
A race condition exists between device teardown (inetdev_destroy) and
incoming IGMP query processing (igmp_rcv), leading to a Use-After-Free
in the IGMP timer callback.
During device destruction, inetdev_destroy() drops the primary reference
to in_device, which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of
in_device memory is deferred via RCU (using call_rcu()).
Concurrently, igmp_rcv() runs under RCU read lock and obtains the
in_device pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can safely
dereference in_
ipv6: mcast: Fix potential UAF in MLD delayed work
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: Fix potential UAF in MLD delayed work
A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query
processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work.
During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped,
which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory
is deferred via RCU.
Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains
the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can
safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.
However, if CPU-
ipv4: igmp: Fix potential memory leaks in igmp_mod_timer() and igmp_stop_timer()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: igmp: Fix potential memory leaks in igmp_mod_timer() and igmp_stop_timer()
When a timer is deleted and not re-armed in igmp_mod_timer(), or stopped
in igmp_stop_timer(), the code currently decrements the reference counter
of the multicast list entry @im using refcount_dec(&im->refcnt).
However, both functions can be called from the RCU reader path:
- igmp_mod_timer() via igmp_heard_query() -> for_each_pmc_rcu()
- igmp_stop_timer() via igmp_rcv() -> igmp_heard_report()
If the group im was concurrently removed from the list by ip_mc_dec_group(),

netfilter: nft_lookup: fix catchall element handling with inverted lookups
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_lookup: fix catchall element handling with inverted lookups
nft_lookup_eval() decides whether a lookup matched (`found`) from the
direct set lookup and priv->invert before falling back to the
catchall element used by interval sets (e.g. nft_set_rbtree) for the
open-ended default range. Since `found` is never recomputed after
`ext` is replaced by the catchall lookup, inverted lookups
(NFT_LOOKUP_F_INV, "!= @set") can wrongly match or wrongly skip the
catchall element, producing the wrong verdict. Fold the catchall
lookup into `ext` before computing `found`, ma
ipvs: ensure inner headers in ICMP errors are in headroom
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: ensure inner headers in ICMP errors are in headroom
Sashiko points out that after stripping the outer headers
with pskb_pull() we should ensure the inner IP headers
in ICMP errors from tunnels are present in the skb headroom
for functions like ipv4_update_pmtu(), icmp_send() and
IP_VS_DBG().
Also, add more checks for the length of the inner headers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: validate DFS referral string offsets
parse_dfs_referrals() validates that the response header and referral
array fit in the received buffer, but each referral also contains string
offsets supplied by the server.
Those offsets are used to compute the DfsPath and NetworkAddress string
pointers without checking whether they still point inside the response
buffer. A malformed referral can therefore make the computed pointer
exceed the end of the buffer. The resulting negative max_len is then
passed to cifs_strndup_from_utf16(), and the non-Unicode path forwards it
to kst
SUNRPC: pin upper rpc_clnt across the TLS connect_worker
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: pin upper rpc_clnt across the TLS connect_worker
The TLS connect path has a use-after-free: nothing pins the
upper rpc_clnt across the delayed connect_worker. xs_connect()
stores task->tk_client in sock_xprt::clnt as a raw pointer
and queues the worker; for TLS-secured transports that worker
is xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(), which reads several fields out
of the saved pointer (cl_timeout, cl_program, cl_prog,
cl_vers, cl_cred, cl_stats) to construct the args for the
inner handshake rpc_clnt.
The xprt does not reference the rpc_clnt; the rpc_clnt
references the xprt. xs
dm era: fix NULL pointer dereference in metadata_open()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm era: fix NULL pointer dereference in metadata_open()
metadata_open() returns NULL when kzalloc_obj() fails, but the
caller era_ctr() only checks IS_ERR(md). Since IS_ERR(NULL)
returns false, the NULL pointer is treated as a valid result
and later assigned to era->md, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference when the metadata is accessed.
Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on allocation failure,
consistent with dm-cache-metadata.c, dm-thin-metadata.c, and
dm-clone-metadata.c which all use ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) for the
same pattern.
smb: client: fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO
Commit c68337442f03 ("cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting") fixed
the issue in cifs where deferred close of a file led to a dentry reference
count not being released in umount, by flushing deferredclose_wq in
cifs_kill_sb() to solve it.
However, the cifs DIO path suffers from the same busy-dentry problem caused
by a delayed dentry reference-count release:

regulator: core: regulator_lock_two() should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: core: regulator_lock_two() should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK
Compare against -EDEADLK, which is what ww_mutex_lock() actually
returns and what every other deadlock check in this file already uses.
Function regulator_lock_two() acquires two regulators via
regulator_lock_nested() -> ww_mutex_lock(). On contention,
ww_mutex_lock() returns -EDEADLK, which is the caller's signal to drop
the lock it holds and retry the acquisition in the canonical order.
However, regulator_lock_two() tests the return value against -EDEADLOCK
rather than -EDEADLK. On most archit
octeontx2-af: fix VF bringup affecting PF promiscuous state
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-af: fix VF bringup affecting PF promiscuous state
Mbox handling of nix_set_rx_mode for a VF with promiscuous and
all_multi flags set to false causes deletion of the PF's promiscuous
and allmulti MCAM rules. This occurs because the APIs that
enable/disable these rules operate only on the PF, even when the
mbox request is made via a VF interface.
Guard both rvu_npc_enable_allmulti_entry() and
rvu_npc_enable_promisc_entry() disable paths with an is_vf() check so
that a VF bringing up or tearing down its interface cannot inadvertently
clear the PF's MCAM rules.
smb: client: fix overflow in passthrough ioctl bounds check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix overflow in passthrough ioctl bounds check
smb2_ioctl_query_info() validates the PASSTHRU_FSCTL response payload
before copying it to userspace.
The payload offset and length both come from 32-bit fields. The bounds
check currently adds OutputOffset and qi.input_buffer_length directly, so
the addition can wrap in 32-bit arithmetic before the result is compared
against the response buffer length.
A malicious server can use a large OutputOffset and a small OutputCount
to make the wrapped sum pass the bounds check. The later copy_to_user()
then reads from io
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
When mlxsw_sp_port_lag_index_get() fails, mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
returns an error without releasing the lag reference obtained by
the earlier mlxsw_sp_lag_get(). All other error paths in the
function jump to the cleanup label that ends with
mlxsw_sp_lag_put(), so this is a single missed release.
Fix the leak by replacing the bare 'return err' with a goto to the
existing error cleanup label, which will drop the reference safely.
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_vrs_lpm_tree_replace()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_vrs_lpm_tree_replace()
When mlxsw_sp_vrs_lpm_tree_replace() fails after replacing some VRs,
the error rollback loop does not correctly revert the preceding
replacements. The loop decrements the index but fails to update the
vr pointer, which still points to the VR that caused the failure. As
a result, the condition and the rollback call always operate on the
same VR, potentially calling mlxsw_sp_vr_lpm_tree_replace() multiple
times on it while never rolling back the earlier VRs. Those VRs
continue to hold a reference to new_tree acquired
vduse: Fix race in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vduse: Fix race in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter
There is one race case in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter:
vduse_dev_read_iter():
lock(msg_lock);
dequeue_msg(send_list);
unlock(msg_lock);
vduse_dev_msg_sync():
wait_timeout() finish
lock(msg_lock);
check msg->complete is false
list_del(msg); <- double list_del() crash!
To fix this case, we shall ensure vduse_msg is on send_list or recv_list
outside the msg_lock critical section.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
VDUSE: avoid leaking information to userspace
The bounceing is not necessarily page aligned, so current VDUSE can
leak kernel information through mapping bounce pages to
userspace. Allocate bounce pages with __GFP_ZERO to avoid leaking
information to userspace.
ASoC: SOF: ipc4-control: Fix TOCTOU in sof_ipc4_bytes_put
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc4-control: Fix TOCTOU in sof_ipc4_bytes_put
In sof_ipc4_bytes_put(), the copy size is derived from the old
data->size in the buffer rather than the incoming new data's size
field from ucontrol. If the new data has a different size, the copy
uses the wrong length: it may truncate valid data or copy stale bytes.
Fix by validating and using the incoming data's sof_abi_hdr.size from
ucontrol before copying.
ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Use overflow checks in control_update size calc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Use overflow checks in control_update size calc
In sof_ipc3_control_update(), the expected_size calculation uses
firmware-provided cdata->num_elems in arithmetic that could overflow
on 32-bit platforms, wrapping to a small value. This would allow the
cdata->rhdr.hdr.size comparison to pass with mismatched sizes,
potentially leading to out-of-bounds access in snd_sof_update_control.
Use check_mul_overflow() and check_add_overflow() to detect and reject
overflowed size calculations.
