riscv: ptrace: Zero-initialize regset buffers before copyin
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: ptrace: Zero-initialize regset buffers before copyin
user_regset_copyin() only copies `count` bytes, so a PTRACE_SETREGSET
request with a short iov_len leaves the rest of the stack buffer
uninitialized. In riscv_vr_set() that garbage is validated and copied
into the target's vstate, and in riscv_cfi_set() it can be stored as
the target's shadow stack pointer. Zero both buffers, as the get path
already does.
flow_dissector: avoid u16 truncation of hlen in bpf_flow_dissect()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
flow_dissector: avoid u16 truncation of hlen in bpf_flow_dissect()
bpf_flow_dissect() sanitizes the offsets returned by the BPF program
with clamp_t(u16, ..., hlen).
If hlen is bigger than 65535, the upper bound is truncated before
the comparison. For instance, with hlen == 65536, both nhoff and
thoff are forced to zero, even if the program returned sane values.
This is the same class of bug as the one fixed in commit 99bda1ecbd56
("flow_dissector: avoid u16 truncation of skb->len when computing
thoff"). That fix does not cover the BPF path, because

drm/imagination: Fix reference and vm_bo handling in remap()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/imagination: Fix reference and vm_bo handling in remap()
When a map overlaps part of an existing mapping, pvr_vm_gpuva_remap()
splits the mapping into prev/next parts covering what the request did
not take, instead of creating something new. It gets two things wrong.
- A GEM reference is taken for each part but it's never needed and never
dropped, so it leaks one reference per split (remap-next-in-2m in
tests/imagination/pvr_vm_map.c):
CRITICAL: 33558528 bytes of shmem still held after close
- The parts still belong to the original object being split, but

mlxsw: spectrum_flower: Fix port range register leak in tmplt_create()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_flower: Fix port range register leak in tmplt_create()
mlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() parses a flow_cls_offload template
into a stack-local struct mlxsw_sp_acl_rule_info purely to compute
rulei.values.elusage. Parsing can acquire port range registers via
mlxsw_sp_flower_parse_ports_range(), but since this rulei never goes
through mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy(), those registers were never
released, including through chain template deletion.
Factor out of mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy() the code to actually
release the necessary resources and call from

vsock: Fix memory leak in vmci_transport_recv_dgram_cb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: Fix memory leak in vmci_transport_recv_dgram_cb()
During the closure of a datagram socket, the vmci_transport_recv_dgram_cb()
function may be called, which will add the packets
to the socket's backlog; then, after the receive queue is cleared,
the __release_sock() function will move the packet back from the socket's
backlog to the receive queue, which will lead to a memory leak.

drm/vc4: Disable the V3D interrupt across runtime suspend
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Disable the V3D interrupt across runtime suspend
vc4_irq_disable() masks the V3D interrupt sources and then calls
synchronize_irq() before the V3D is powered down. However, by itself,
this is not enough to quiesce the interrupt handler.
synchronize_irq() waits for handlers that have already set
IRQD_IRQ_INPROGRESS, and for irqchips reporting IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE.
A GIC interrupt chip is able to mark an interrupt active as soon as a
CPU acknowledges it, so there these checks cover the whole dispatch path.
On RPi 0-3, however, the interrupt controller is ARMCTRL, wh
ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't enable large folios on encrypted inodes
Commit 709f0f1f1bf5 ("ext4: add checks for large folio
incompatibilities when BS > PS") disables large folios at mount time
if the "encrypt" feature is set. However, enabling that feature on a
mounted filesystem circumvents that check, and writing encrypted data
results in a crash:

rust: irq: pass RegistrationInner as cookie to request_irq
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rust: irq: pass RegistrationInner as cookie to request_irq
With commit ba268514ea14 ("rust: devres: fix race condition due to
nesting"), Devres::new() returns Result<Self> by value instead of
initializing in-place via PinInit. Because request_irq() is called
inside Devres::new(), registration.inner is still uninitialized when the
IRQ is enabled, so accessing registration.inner.device() in the IRQ
callback can read uninitialized memory.
Fix this by storing the Device and handler pointer in RegistrationInner
and passing RegistrationInner as the IRQ cookie after its fields ar
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libertas: reject short monitor TX frames
In monitor mode, lbs_hard_start_xmit() casts skb->data to a
radiotap TX header, skips that header, and then copies the 802.11
destination address from offset 4 in the remaining frame. The
generic length check only rejects zero-length and oversized skbs, so
a short monitor frame can be read past the end of the skb data.
Require enough bytes for the radiotap TX header and the destination
address field before using the monitor-mode header layout.
ipv4: validate checksum_start before completing checksum
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: validate checksum_start before completing checksum
If a packet with bad checksum metadata gets into the ipv4 stack,
skb_checksum_help can corrupt the network header and cause a bunch of
mischief.
This was discovered and reported by Paulos, and has been reporoduced
by others independently since.
We really shouldn't allow such packets in, but as a defence
in depth measure, let's also check before we complete the checksum.
A more complete validation at input is forthcoming, but needs more work.
ipv4: free inet_opt and ireq_opt after an RCU grace period
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: free inet_opt and ireq_opt after an RCU grace period
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() transfers ownership of ireq->ireq_opt to the
child socket (newinet->inet_opt) without copying it.
Another cpu can concurrently process a retransmitted SYN for the same
request socket, and send a SYNACK from tcp_check_req().
tcp_v4_send_synack() and inet_csk_route_req() read ireq->ireq_opt
under rcu_read_lock() only, and ip_build_and_send_pkt() and
ip_options_build() then read opt->optlen twice.
Note that the SYNACK timer itself is not an issue: it holds a
reference on its request socket, and
xen/netfront: drop RX packets with a short Ethernet header
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/netfront: drop RX packets with a short Ethernet header
handle_incoming_queue() pulls pull_to bytes into the head before
calling eth_type_trans(). pull_to is the length of the first RX slot,
capped at RX_COPY_THRESHOLD, and that length comes from the backend.
Nothing checks it against ETH_HLEN.
If the first slot is shorter than ETH_HLEN and more slots follow, the
head ends up shorter than an Ethernet header while skb->len is longer,
and eth_type_trans() BUG()s in __skb_pull(). If the whole packet is
shorter than ETH_HLEN, eth_type_trans() reads the header past the end
smb: client: fix rlist race and missing initialization
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix rlist race and missing initialization
TCP_Server_Info.rlist is allocated via kzalloc which zeros both ->next
and ->prev to NULL instead of pointing to itself, making list_empty()
always return false and list_add() dereference a NULL ->prev pointer.
Also, cifs_signal_cifsd_for_reconnect() can be called concurrently
from multiple cifsd threads, allowing the same server's rlist node to
be added twice into the local list, corrupting it.
esp: do not unref managed frag pages in esp_ssg_unref()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
esp: do not unref managed frag pages in esp_ssg_unref()
esp_ssg_unref() releases the page references held on the source
scatterlist after the AEAD operation completes. It calls
skb_page_unref() on every frag page for an out-of-place transform
(req->src != req->dst), and in the error path of esp_output_tail()
(already_unref == true) on the request's own scatterlist.
This is wrong when the skb carries managed frags
(SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS). Managed frags are owned by a zerocopy ubuf
and the skb does not hold a per-frag page reference; io_uring SEND_ZC

kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
After commit 12e9e3cd03b5 ("simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache"),
kernfs_xattr_set() and kernfs_xattr_get() compute the cache via
kernfs_root(kn) before any other check. kernfs_root(kn) walks
kn->__parent first and falls back to kn->dir.root, both of which are
NULL on a freshly kmem_cache_zalloc()'d kn. kn->__parent was being set
in kernfs_new_node() after __kernfs_new_node() returned, and kn->dir.root
is set even later by kernfs_create_dir_ns() / kernfs_create_empty_dir().
The LSM kernfs_init_security hook is invoked from
mm/khugepaged: write all dirty file folios when collapsing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/khugepaged: write all dirty file folios when collapsing
[There is no upstream commit, as this code was removed by upstream
commit 044925f9b565 ("mm: fs: remove filemap_nr_thps*() functions and their users")]
As-is, khugepaged and writable-file opening exclude each other. A file
cannot be open writeable and have THPs (because the filesystem is not aware
of them). khugepaged will never collapse file pages for files that are
opened writeable. On an open(O_RDWR/O_WRONLY), the page cache for that
particular file is dropped. This is fine because nothing could've been

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

This patch switches the timer to HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT, which executed the
timer callback in softirq context and removes the hrtimer_tasklet.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: v: stop OGMv2 on disabled interface
When a batadv_hard_iface is disabled, its mesh_iface pointer is set to
NULL. However, batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() may still dispatch OGMs via
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() for interfaces that have since lost their
mesh_iface association. This results in a NULL pointer dereference when
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() unconditionally calls netdev_priv() on the
now NULL hard_iface->mesh_iface to retrieve the batadv_priv.
It is necessary to ensure that the batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() checks that
it is using the same mesh_iface for which ba
KVM: arm64: Fix pin leak and publication ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Fix pin leak and publication ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu()
Two bugs exist in the vCPU initialisation path:
1. If a check fails after hyp_pin_shared_mem() succeeds, the cleanup
path jumps to 'unlock' without calling unpin_host_vcpu() or
unpin_host_sve_state(), permanently leaking pin references on the
host vCPU and SVE state pages.
Extract a register_hyp_vcpu() helper that performs the checks and
the store. When register_hyp_vcpu() returns an error, call
unpin_host_vcpu() and unpin_host_sve_state() inline before falling
through to the exis
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/privcmd: fix double free via VMA splitting
privcmd_vm_ops defines .close (privcmd_close), but neither .may_split
nor .open. When userspace does a partial munmap() on a privcmd mapping,
the kernel splits the VMA via __split_vma(). Since may_split is NULL,
the split is allowed. vm_area_dup() copies vm_private_data (a pages
array allocated in alloc_empty_pages()) into the new VMA without any
fixup, because there is no .open callback.
Both VMAs now point to the same pages array. When the unmapped portion
is closed, privcmd_close() calls:
