xfs: fail recovery on a committed log item with no regions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fail recovery on a committed log item with no regions
If the first op of a transaction is a bare transaction header
(len == sizeof(struct xfs_trans_header)), xlog_recover_add_to_trans()
adds an item but no region, leaving it on r_itemq with ri_cnt == 0 and
ri_buf == NULL.
The header can be split across op records, so later ops may still add
regions; the item is only invalid if the transaction commits with none.
The runtime commit path never emits such a transaction, so this only
happens on a crafted log. It came from an AI-assisted code audit of the
recovery parser.
sysfs: don't remove existing directory on update failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sysfs: don't remove existing directory on update failure
When sysfs_update_group() is called for a named group and create_files()
fails (e.g. -ENOMEM), internal_create_group() calls kernfs_remove(kn) on
the group directory. In the update path, kn was obtained via
kernfs_find_and_get() and refers to a directory that already existed
before this call. Removing it silently destroys a sysfs group that the
caller did not create.
Only remove the directory if we created it ourselves. On update failure
the directory remains as it is left empty by remove_files() inside
create_fil
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: bnep: Fix UAF read of dev->name
bnep_add_connection() needs to keep holding the bnep_session_sem while
reading dev->name (just like bnep_get_connlist() does); otherwise the
bnep_session() thread can concurrently free the net_device, which can for
example be triggered by a concurrent bnep_del_connection().
(This UAF is fairly uninteresting from a security perspective;
calling bnep_add_connection() requires passing a capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)
check. It also requires completely tearing down a netdev during a fairly
tight race window.)
phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
The networking receive path is usually run from softirq context, but
protocols that take the socket lock may have packets stored in the
backlog and processed later from process context. In that case
release_sock() -> __release_sock() drops the slock with spin_unlock_bh()
and then calls sk->sk_backlog_rcv() with bottom halves enabled.
Typical sk_backlog_rcv handlers process the socket whose backlog is
being drained, so the BH state at entry is irrelevant for the slocks
they touch. pep_do_rcv() is different: when the i
wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()
cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS
profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements.
Its while-loop calls
cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem)
but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each
iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same
fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same
next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until
the buffe
tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails
In paths where tracing_map_elt_alloc() failed to allocate objects,
the map->ops->elt_alloc() call was never successful. In this case,
map->ops->elt_free() should not be called.
spi: qup: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: qup: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to the clear the DMA channel pointers on setup failure to
avoid dereferencing an error pointer (or attempting to release a channel
a second time) on later probe errors or driver unbind.
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.
spi: sprd: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: sprd: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to check the dma.enabled flag before trying to release the DMA
channels also on late probe errors to avoid dereferencing an error
pointer (or attempting to release a channel a second time).
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: integrator: Fix early initialization
Starting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 ("ARM: integrator: read counter using
syscon/regmap"), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
which in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.
Since the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,
the call always fails. It either returns -ENOMEM or crashes as follows.

btrfs: tracepoints: fix sleep while in atomic context in btrfs_sync_file()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: tracepoints: fix sleep while in atomic context in btrfs_sync_file()
The trace event btrfs_sync_file() is called in an atomic context (all trace
events are) and its call to dput(), which is needed due to the call to
dget_parent(), can sleep, triggering a kernel splat.
This can be reproduced by enabling the trace event and running btrfs/056
from fstests for example. The splat shown in dmesg is the following:

Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
The setup_packet of control urb is not freed if usb_submit_urb fails or
the submitted urb is killed. Add free in these two paths.
ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access at reading cache
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access at reading cache
find_control() to retrieve a cached info accesses the array with the
given index blindly, which may lead to an OOB array access.
Add a sanity check for avoiding it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmgenet: keep RBUF EEE/PM disabled
Setting RBUF_EEE_EN | RBUF_PM_EN in RBUF_ENERGY_CTRL breaks the RX
path on GENET hardware once MAC EEE becomes active. RX traffic stops
flowing while the link stays up and the usual descriptor/RX error
counters remain quiet. In that state the MAC still accepts frames
(rbuf_ovflow_cnt keeps climbing) but RBUF no longer forwards them to
DMA, so rx_packets is no longer incremented at the netdev level. On
some boards the corruption ends up as a paging fault in
skb_release_data via bcmgenet_rx_poll on an LPI exit.

net: hsr: defer node table free until after RCU readers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: defer node table free until after RCU readers
HSR node-list and node-status generic-netlink operations run under
rcu_read_lock(). They walk hsr->node_db through hsr_get_next_node() and
hsr_get_node_data(), but RTM_DELLINK teardown removes the same node table
with plain list_del() and frees each node immediately.
That lets a generic-netlink reader hold a struct hsr_node pointer across
hsr_dellink(). In a KASAN build, widening the reader window after
hsr_get_next_node() obtains the node reproduces a slab-use-after-free
when the reader copies node->macaddress_A; the
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qed: fix double free in qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
If one of the later PF or VF CID bitmap allocations fails,
qed_cid_map_alloc() jumps to cid_map_fail and frees the previously
allocated CID bitmaps before returning an error. qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
then calls qed_cxt_mngr_free(), which invokes qed_cid_map_free()
again.
Fix this by setting each CID bitmap pointer to NULL after bitmap_free()
to avoid double free.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under devel
vsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake
vmci_transport_recv_connecting_server() returned err = 0 for a peer
RST in its default switch arm:
err = pkt->type == VMCI_TRANSPORT_PACKET_TYPE_RST ? 0 : -EINVAL;
That made vmci_transport_recv_listen() skip vsock_remove_pending(),
leaving the pending socket on the listener's pending_links with
sk_state = TCP_CLOSE while destroy: still dropped the explicit
reference taken before schedule_delayed_work().
One second later vsock_pending_work() observed is_pending=true and
performed full cleanup: vsock_remove_
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: raw: reject IP_HDRINCL packets with ihl < 5
raw_send_hdrinc() validates that the caller-supplied IPv4 header
fits within the message length:
iphlen = iph->ihl * 4;
err = -EINVAL;
if (iphlen > length)
goto error_free;
if (iphlen >= sizeof(*iph)) {
/* fix up saddr, tot_len, id, csum, transport_header */
}
It does not, however, reject ihl < 5. For such a packet the
"if (iphlen >= sizeof(*iph))" branch is skipped, leaving the
crafted iphdr untouched, but the packet is still handed to
__ip_local_out() and onward. Downstream consumer
ixgbevf: fix use-after-free in VEPA multicast source pruning
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbevf: fix use-after-free in VEPA multicast source pruning
ixgbevf_clean_rx_irq() prunes frames whose source MAC matches the VF's
own address (VEPA multicast workaround) by freeing the skb and
continuing to the next descriptor:
dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb);
continue;
The skb pointer is declared outside the while loop and persists across
iterations. Because the continue skips the "skb = NULL" reset at the
bottom of the loop, the next iteration enters the "else if (skb)" path
and calls ixgbevf_add_rx_frag() on the freed skb, dereferencing

rbd: eliminate a race in lock_dwork draining on unmap
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rbd: eliminate a race in lock_dwork draining on unmap
Given how rbd_lock_add_request() and rbd_img_exclusive_lock() are
written, lock_dwork may be (re)queued more than it's actually needed:
for example in case a new I/O request comes in while we are in the
middle of rbd_acquire_lock() on behalf of another I/O request. This is
expected and with rbd_release_lock() preemptively canceling lock_dwork
is benign under normal operation.
A more problematic example is maybe_kick_acquire():
if (have_requests || delayed_work_pending(&rbd_dev->lock_dwork)) {

af_unix: Fix UAF read of tail->len in unix_stream_data_wait()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix UAF read of tail->len in unix_stream_data_wait()
unix_stream_data_wait() does skb_peek_tail(&sk->sk_receive_queue) without
holding any lock that prevents SKBs on that queue from being dequeued and
freed.
This has been the case since commit 79f632c71bea ("unix/stream: fix
peeking with an offset larger than data in queue").
The first consequence of this is that the pointer comparison
`tail != last` can be false even if `last` semantically refers to an
already-freed SKB while `tail` is a new SKB allocated at the same address;
which can cause unix_stream_data_wait(
