In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix exe mark UAF in kill_rules()
kill_rules() removes mixed AUDIT_DIR and AUDIT_EXE rules when an audit
tree is pruned. It drops entry->rule.exe before removing the rule from
the RCU-visible filter lists.
After a rule has been installed with AUDIT_ADD_RULE, which requires
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL, removing the watched directory can race with another
task that is still evaluating the rule. In that case, fsnotify can free
the executable mark before the reader reaches audit_mark_compare(),
causing a use-after-free.

HID: multitouch: stop the release timer from being rearmed on remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: multitouch: stop the release timer from being rearmed on remove
mt_remove() quiesces the sticky-finger timer before stopping the
hardware:
timer_delete_sync(&td->release_timer);
sysfs_remove_group(&hdev->dev.kobj, &mt_attribute_group);
hid_hw_stop(hdev);
timer_delete_sync() waits for a running callback and dequeues the timer,
but it does not stop the timer from being armed again. The transport is
still delivering reports at that point, and the report path rearms it:
if (app->quirks & MT_QUIRK_STICKY_FINGERS) {
if (td->mt_io_flags & MT_IO_SLO
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: bound LBLCR and LBLC cache growth
ip_vs_lblcr_new() and ip_vs_lblc_new() create cache entries for
every previously unseen destination address. The table max_size only
tells the periodic collector to reclaim entries after the cache has
already exceeded the limit. It does not reclaim entries that the
attacker continues to use.
Reject new cache entries once either table reaches max_size * 3 / 2.
The extra headroom lets the periodic collector catch up while the
existing scheduler fallback continues to use the selected destination
when cache creation fails. New traffic th
kprobes: Skip disarmed probes when checking optkprobe overlap
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: Skip disarmed probes when checking optkprobe overlap
On x86, an optkprobe at A replaces five bytes with a jump. If a disabled
probe B is at A+2, get_optimized_kprobe() stops at B when arming a new
probe C at A+4. It leaves A optimized:
A A+1 A+2 A+3 A+4
A's jump | e9 | d0 | d1 | d2 | d3 |
after C | e9 | d0 | d1 | d2 | cc |
The INT3 for C overwrites the last byte of A's jump displacement, so
execution can jump to the wrong address. B can have prepared optinsns
while disarmed, but has no jump to unoptimize.
Continue past disarmed and unp
of/overlay: put property on deadprops only after changeset add succeeds
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of/overlay: put property on deadprops only after changeset add succeeds
add_changeset_property() links a new property of a not-yet-live
target node into the node's deadprops list before handing it to
of_changeset_add_property(). If that fails, the error path frees the
property but leaves the freed pointer linked in deadprops, and
of_node_release() frees it a second time when the aborted overlay's
node is released.
Record the changeset entry first and link the property into deadprops
only on success. of_changeset_add_property() never looks at the
node's property lists, so t
of/overlay: only treat a positive changeset id as registered
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of/overlay: only treat a positive changeset id as registered
of_overlay_fdt_apply() stores the idr_alloc() return value in
ovcs->id before checking it. On failure the stored id is negative,
free_overlay_changeset()'s "if (ovcs->id)" check passes, idr_remove()
is called with a negative id and list_del() runs on ovcs->ovcs_list,
which is not initialized until after the id allocation. An allocation
failure at that point dereferences NULL.
Make free_overlay_changeset() treat only a strict-positive id as
registered. The rest of the function already copes with a

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: gso: limit recursive IP-in-IP segmentation
IP-in-IP GSO can re-enter inet_gso_segment() or ipv6_gso_segment()
for each nested IP header. encap_level tracks header bytes, not callback
depth, so a deep chain can exhaust the kernel stack. Making
inet_gso_segment() stackable introduced unbounded IPv4 nesting; IPIP
GSO/TSO later made the path reachable. The IPv6 stackable path was
introduced separately and uses the same guard.
Count IPv4 and IPv6 GSO handler entries in skb_gso_cb, initialized once
per top-level GSO operation and preserved across GRE/UDP context changes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/packet: prevent TX_RING byte count overflow
tpacket_snd() drains every SEND_REQUEST frame in a TX ring and adds
each valid packet length to the signed int len_sum. Userspace can
recycle completed frames concurrently, so a single blocking send call
is not bounded by the ring size.
After enough successful transmissions len_sum wraps into the negative
range. In particular, 65536 65535-byte frames followed by a 65007-byte
frame produce 0xfffffdef, or -EIOCBQUEUED. sock_sendmsg_nosec() treats
that as an impossible return and triggers a BUG. On systems configured
to panic on
rtc: spear: initialize IRQ state before requesting alarm IRQ
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: spear: initialize IRQ state before requesting alarm IRQ
devm_request_irq() enables the interrupt before it returns, so the handler
may run while probe is still initializing the device. Initialize the MMIO
address and spinlock before requesting the alarm IRQ.
vt: selection: Fix unsigned underflow and slab-out-of-bounds read in paste_selection()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: selection: Fix unsigned underflow and slab-out-of-bounds read in paste_selection()
In paste_selection(), the loop copies min_t(unsigned int,
vc_sel.buf_len - pasted,tty->receive_room) bytes per iteration into
tty_ldisc_receive_buf() and increments pasted += count.
Because the selection mutex (vc_sel.lock) is dropped inside the loop
Whenever the line discipline buffer fills up and paste_selection()
sleeps on tty->write_wait, a concurrent TIOCLINUX (TIOCL_SETSEL) ioctl
can replace vc_sel.buffer with a shorter selection and reduce
vc_sel.buf_len below pasted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: line6: reject oversized playback packets
Each playback URB is handed a slice of out.buffer that is exactly
LINE6_ISO_PACKETS * max_packet_size_out bytes, sized from the OUT
endpoint, but the number of bytes written into that slice is never
compared against it.
submit_audio_out_urb() takes the frame count from prev_fsize, which
audio_in_callback() derived from the *IN* endpoint's received packet
length, and rescales it with the playback frame size; when prev_fsize is
still zero it synthesizes a length from the sample rate instead. On a
device declaring a large IN wMa
of/overlay: don't leak fragment references when changeset init fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of/overlay: don't leak fragment references when changeset init fails
init_overlay_changeset() stores the number of initialized fragments
in ovcs->count only on full success. When find_target() or the
__symbols__ lookup fails partway through, the target and overlay
references taken for the fragments initialized so far are never
dropped: free_overlay_changeset() bounds its cleanup loop by
ovcs->count, which is still 0.
Store the running count on the error path so free_overlay_changeset()
puts whatever was set up. The store is guarded by ovcs->fragments
because on the allocat
wifi: mac80211: drop oversized fragments to avoid extra_len overflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: drop oversized fragments to avoid extra_len overflow
In ieee80211_rx_h_defragment(), fragment payloads are accumulated into
entry->extra_len as subsequent fragments arrive:
entry->extra_len += rx->skb->len;
When the final fragment arrives, the head fragment is dequeued, and
pskb_expand_head() is called with entry->extra_len to ensure sufficient
tailroom for all queued fragments before copying:
if (skb_tailroom(rx->skb) < entry->extra_len) {
if (unlikely(pskb_expand_head(rx->skb, 0, entry->extra_len,
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: reject short WMI command responses
ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback() removes the validated WMI header and copies
the number of bytes expected by the waiting command into its response
buffer. A device response shorter than that expectation can therefore
be read beyond the skb payload.
Record -EMSGSIZE for a short response, complete the waiter, and return
the stored status from the command path. This also prevents callers from
consuming stale response bytes as a successful reply.
wifi: ath9k_htc: bound TX aggregation to MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: bound TX aggregation to MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE
__hif_usb_tx() dequeues up to MAX_TX_AGGR_NUM (20) frames into a
single tx_buf of MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE (32768) bytes, limiting the batch
by record count but never by cumulative byte length.
With large frames (MTU 2304), 20 aggregated frames of 2292 bytes
each exceed the allocation (20 * 2296 = 45920 bytes), so the
memcpy() in the loop writes up to 13152 bytes past tx_buf->buf
before usb_submit_urb().
Peek the queue head and stop before copying any record that would
cross MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE, then dispatch the current batch.
rtc: ac100: Fix clock provider use-after-free on probe failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: ac100: Fix clock provider use-after-free on probe failure
ac100_rtc_register_clks() registers the RTC-32k clock with
clk_hw_register_fixed_rate() and the clock provider with
of_clk_add_hw_provider(). Neither is device managed, and both are
released only from ac100_rtc_remove(). The driver core does not call
remove() when probe() fails: really_probe() reaches probe_failed below
the device_remove() call and goes straight to releasing the device's
managed resources.
ac100_rtc_probe() ends with
return devm_rtc_register_device(chip->rtc);

wifi: mac80211: validate TX status rate metadata
minstrel_ht_tx_status() converts the HT/VHT rate reported in a TX status
into a group and rate index and uses those to index the minstrel_ht rate
tables. The existing validation only checked that an entry was present
and had tries recorded; it did not check that the reported MCS, spatial
stream count and bandwidth are representable by the tables, so malformed
metadata passed to minstrel_ht_get_stats() or
minstrel_ht_ri_get_stats() could be used as an out-of-bounds index.

wifi: mac80211: prevent AP VLAN tx from other interfaces
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: prevent AP VLAN tx from other interfaces
Since the station lookup was factored out of ieee80211_build_hdr(),
ieee80211_lookup_ra_sta() uses sta_info_get_bss() for all AP and AP VLAN
frames, not only for control port frames. A unicast frame sent on one
interface thus matches a station of a different VLAN of the same BSS and
is transmitted to it.
Only match stations of the interface the frame is sent on, except for
control port frames, since those may be sent for VLAN stations directly
on the BSS interface.
