bonding: alb: re-check primary_is_promisc under RTNL in bond_alb_monitor
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: alb: re-check primary_is_promisc under RTNL in bond_alb_monitor
bond_alb_monitor() reads primary_is_promisc under RCU, then drops RCU and
takes RTNL via rtnl_trylock() before undoing the promiscuity it set on the
active slave. In that window the active slave can change under RTNL
(RTM_DELLINK -> __bond_release_one() -> bond_alb_handle_active_change()),
which already drops the promiscuity and clears primary_is_promisc. The
monitor still acts on the stale decision: if the slave was removed with no
failover, curr_active_slave is now NULL and the deref faults; if it fa
enic: fix tx_hang_reset use-after-free on device removal
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
enic: fix tx_hang_reset use-after-free on device removal
enic_remove() cancels the reset and change_mtu_work items but does not
cancel tx_hang_reset. A TX timeout that fires while the device is being
removed can schedule enic_tx_hang_reset() so that it runs after
free_netdev(), resulting in a use-after-free.
cancel_work_sync() alone is not sufficient here: the still-live watchdog
and notify paths can re-schedule these work items in the window between
the cancel and unregister_netdev(). Use disable_work_sync(), which
cancels the work and blocks any subsequent schedule_work(
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: avoid out-of-bounds write in ip_vs_nat_icmp
Sashiko warns that local attacker can modify the packet
while it is processed by IPVS. Some places read the
IP ihl field multiple times which can cause out-of-bounds
access. One such place is ip_vs_nat_icmp where we
can write after the validated area.
Fix it by providing ciph argument just like it is done for
IPv6 and use ciph->len as offset to the embedded transport
header.
Modify some IPv4 header checks by reading the ihl field
only once.

accel/amxdna: Fix page-insertion errors in amdxdna_insert_pages()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amxdna: Fix page-insertion errors in amdxdna_insert_pages()
Two error paths in amdxdna_insert_pages() called vma->vm_ops->close(vma)
before returning an error code to the caller. This is incorrect:
amdxdna_gem_obj_mmap() registers an HMM interval notifier before calling
amdxdna_insert_pages(), and on a hard error it jumps to hmm_unreg to undo
that registration. Calling vm_ops->close() manually — which drops the
shmem pages_pin_count and the GEM object reference that backs the VMA —
before the mmap syscall has even returned causes those resources to be
released while
bpf: Preserve pointer state for commuted arithmetic
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Preserve pointer state for commuted arithmetic
When scalar += pointer is handled in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the
destination register inherits the pointer state from the source pointer.
Copying only selected fields is fragile because pointer provenance is
tracked by several bpf_reg_state fields.
Use the caller's temporary offset register to preserve the scalar operand
while replacing the destination with the full pointer state. This preserves
the frame number for PTR_TO_STACK registers and keeps parent identity
fields consistent.
net/smc: fix qentry overwrite for CONFIRM_LINK and ADD_LINK_CONT in smc_llc_event_handler()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix qentry overwrite for CONFIRM_LINK and ADD_LINK_CONT in smc_llc_event_handler()
The SMC_LLC_CONFIRM_LINK / SMC_LLC_ADD_LINK_CONT branch in
smc_llc_event_handler() stores an incoming qentry into the local LLC flow
without first checking whether a qentry is already pending. If a malicious or
buggy peer sends a second CONFIRM_LINK or ADD_LINK_CONT request while a flow is
active and flow->qentry is already set, smc_llc_flow_qentry_set() overwrites the
pointer without freeing the previous allocation, leaking one kmalloc-96 object
per spurious message.

devlink: fix net namespace reference leak in reload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
devlink: fix net namespace reference leak in reload
devlink_nl_reload_doit() calls devlink_netns_get(), which returns a net
with a held reference. When the requested namespace differs from the
current one and the reload action is not DRIVER_REINIT, the function
returns -EOPNOTSUPP without releasing the reference. Add the missing
put_net() on this error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: fw_tracer, return NULL on create error
Tracer creation can fail by returning either NULL or ERR_PTR.
The return value is stored without a check on the device, and users
treat ERR_PTR and NULL the same way.
This also causes a crash in the core dump logic, which is missing the
ERR_PTR check and ends up dereferencing it, as shown in the trace below.
Switch tracer creation to return NULL on failure only, so callers only
need a single NULL check.

accel/amdxdna: Fix locally exploitable BUG_ON in amdxdna_insert_pages()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix locally exploitable BUG_ON in amdxdna_insert_pages()
In amdxdna_insert_pages(), vm_flags_mod() sets VM_MIXEDMAP and clears
VM_PFNMAP. If an unprivileged userspace process mmaps a non-imported GEM
object and then calls madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), the PTEs will be
successfully cleared because VM_MIXEDMAP allows this (unlike VM_PFNMAP).
When userspace subsequently accesses the memory, drm_gem_shmem_fault()
handles the page fault and attempts to map the backing shmem page via
vmf_insert_pfn() which calls vmf_insert_pfn_prot(). Because the backing
shmem page is n
bpf: Fix netns reference imbalance in conntrack kfuncs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix netns reference imbalance in conntrack kfuncs
The opts argument of the BPF conntrack kfuncs can point to a shared
map value. __bpf_nf_ct_lookup() and __bpf_nf_ct_alloc_entry() read
opts->netns_id separately when acquiring and releasing the network
namespace reference.
The reference imbalance can occur as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1

bpf: tcp: Fix use-after-free in bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: tcp: Fix use-after-free in bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch()
reqsk_queue_hash_req() publishes a TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV request_sock onto
the ehash chain, drops the bucket lock, and only afterwards sets
rsk_refcnt to 3.
Lockless readers such as __inet_lookup_established() handle this with
refcount_inc_not_zero(), but bpf_iter_tcp_established_batch() uses plain
sock_hold() while holding the bucket lock, on the assumption that the
lock guarantees sk_refcnt > 0. That assumption does not hold for
request_sock:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost_iotlb: bound map allocation in add_range
vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() only retires an old entry when the table
has a non-zero limit, has exactly reached that limit and has
VHOST_IOTLB_FLAG_RETIRE set. Non-retiring tables can keep allocating
entries after reaching their configured limit.
Existing vhost devices allocate their IOTLB with max_iotlb_entries from
vhost.c, which defaults to 2048 and is tunable by module parameter. Use
the caller-provided limit at the allocation point instead of adding a
separate default in the common IOTLB helper, and reject non-positive

hwmon: (pmbus) Fix type confusion in notification logic
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (pmbus) Fix type confusion in notification logic
Sashiko reports:
At the start of the loop in pmbus_notify(), the code unconditionally casts
every attribute to a struct sensor_device_attribute:
drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus_core.c:pmbus_notify() {
for (i = 0; i < data->num_attributes; i++) {
struct device_attribute *da = to_dev_attr(data->group.attrs[i]);
struct sensor_device_attribute *attr = to_sensor_dev_attr(da);
int index = attr->index;

}
However, data->group.attrs can contain other types like struct
pmbus_samples_reg or struct pmb
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: require at least 16 bytes of TX metadata
AF_XDP accepts a TX metadata length as small as eight bytes, but every
supported request needs the flags plus at least one eight-byte request
field. Such short metadata also lets the kernel read beyond the registered
area.
Require 16 bytes rather than sizeof(struct xsk_tx_metadata) to preserve
compatibility with applications that do not use launch-time metadata.
xsk: clear metadata pointer when no timestamp is requested
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: clear metadata pointer when no timestamp is requested
User space can change metadata flags after request processing. Rereading
them during completion can therefore make the kernel write a timestamp
that was not requested when the packet was submitted.
Clear the metadata pointer during request processing unless timestamp
completion is requested. Completion handling can then use the pointer
itself instead of rereading the flags.
On the mlx5 multi-packet WQE path metadata is evaluated per batch:
xsk_tx_metadata_request() runs only for the descriptor that starts a
sessio
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: validate launch-time metadata size
Launch-time metadata extends beyond the first 16 bytes of struct
xsk_tx_metadata. Reject the request when the registered metadata area does
not contain the complete field.
Snapshot the validated flags for the generic transmit path and use that
snapshot for request and completion processing, avoiding inconsistent
decisions if user space changes the flags concurrently.
Note that only xsk_skb_metadata is properly using the flags,
__xsk_buff_get_metadata ignores them. Next commits address that.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: validate metadata when processing requests
The zero-copy path validates TX metadata while obtaining the descriptor
context, then reads it again later when preparing the hardware request.
User space can change the metadata between those operations and bypass the
original validation.
Validate the metadata in xsk_tx_metadata_request() and use the resulting
flags snapshot for every feature check. Read request fields once so all
zero-copy drivers process only values observed after successful
validation.
