nvdimm/btt: Handle preemption in BTT lane acquisition
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvdimm/btt: Handle preemption in BTT lane acquisition
BTT lanes serialize access to per-lane metadata and workspace state
during BTT I/O. The btt-check unit test reports data mismatches during
BTT writes due to a race in lane acquisition that can lead to silent
data corruption.
The existing lane model uses a spinlock together with a per-CPU
recursion count. That recursion model stopped being valid after BTT
lanes became preemptible: another task can run on the same CPU,
observe a non-zero recursion count, bypass locking, and use the same
lane concurrently.
BTT lanes are a
configfs_lookup(): don't leave ->s_dentry dangling on failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
configfs_lookup(): don't leave ->s_dentry dangling on failure
Normally ->s_dentry is cleared when dentry it's pointing to becomes
negative (on eviction, realistically). However, that only happens
if dentry gets to be positive in the first place; in case of inode
allocation failure dentry never becomes positive, so ->d_iput()
is not called at all.
We do part of what normally would've been done by configfs_d_iput()
(dropping the reference to configfs_dirent) manually, but we do
not clear ->s_dentry there. Sloppy as it is, it does not matter in
case of configfs_create_{dir,
ocfs2: rebase copied fsdlm LVB pointers in locking_state
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: rebase copied fsdlm LVB pointers in locking_state
The locking_state debugfs iterator snapshots struct ocfs2_lock_res by
value under ocfs2_dlm_tracking_lock and later formats that copy in
ocfs2_dlm_seq_show(). That is fine for the inline fields, but the
userspace fsdlm stack stores the LVB through lksb_fsdlm.sb_lvbptr. Once
the iterator drops the tracking lock, a copied non-NULL sb_lvbptr still
points into the original lockres owner, so teardown can free that
container before the debugfs dump walks the raw LVB bytes.
Rebase the copied sb_lvbptr to the copied l_lksb
ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read
ocfs2_validate_inode_block() already rejects several inconsistent
self-contained dinodes before they are exposed to the rest of the
filesystem. Fast symlinks need the same treatment.
A zero-cluster symlink is treated as a fast symlink and later read through
page_get_link() and ocfs2_fast_symlink_read_folio(). That path uses
strnlen() on the inline payload and then copies len + 1 bytes into the
folio. If a corrupt dinode stores an i_size that does not fit the inline
area or omits the terminating NUL at i_size, that co
ocfs2: reject FITRIM ranges shorter than a cluster
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: reject FITRIM ranges shorter than a cluster
ocfs2_trim_mainbm() trims the global bitmap in cluster units, but its
too-short range validation only checks sb->s_blocksize.
On filesystems with a cluster size larger than the block size, a FITRIM
range that is at least one block but shorter than one cluster is accepted
and shifted down to len == 0. The later start + len - 1 and len -= ...
arithmetic then underflows and can drive trimming past the requested
range.
Reject ranges shorter than s_clustersize instead. That preserves the
existing -EINVAL behavior for reques
ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open
debug_lockres_open() copies inode->i_private into struct debug_lockres and
debug_lockres_release() later drops that pointer with dlm_put(). That
only works if open successfully pins the struct dlm_ctxt.
Today open calls dlm_grab(dlm) but ignores its return value. Once the
last domain unregister has removed the context from dlm_domains,
dlm_grab() returns NULL, yet open still stores the raw pointer and returns
success. The later release path is outside the debugfs removal barrier,
so it can call dlm_put() after dlm_
netfilter: cttimeout: detach dataplane timeout policy and repurpose refcount
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: cttimeout: detach dataplane timeout policy and repurpose refcount
Add a refcount for struct nf_ct_timeout which is used by ct extension to
set the custom ct timeout policy, this tells us that the ct timeout is
being used by a conntrack entry. When the last conntrack entry drops the
refcount on the ct timeout, the ct timeout is released.
Remove the refcount for control plane which controls if the ruleset
refers to the timeout policy. After this update, it is possible to
remove the ct timeout policy from nfnetlink_cttimeout immediately.
This is for simplicity not
RDMA/siw: Fix endpoint/socket association handling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Fix endpoint/socket association handling
Disassociating a socket from an endpoint via siw_socket_disassoc() may
release the last reference on that endpoint and free it. Therefore, don't
clear the endpoints socket pointer after calling that function, but
within.
This fixes a:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in siw_cm_work_handler (drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_cm.c:1053 drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_cm.c:1075)
which occurred after processing a malformed MPA request during connection
establishment, causing the new endpoint to be closed.
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
wifi: wcn36xx: fix heap overflow from oversized firmware HAL response
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wcn36xx: fix heap overflow from oversized firmware HAL response
The firmware response dispatcher copies all synchronous HAL responses
into the 4096-byte hal_buf without validating the response length. A
response exceeding WCN36XX_HAL_BUF_SIZE causes a heap buffer overflow
with firmware-controlled content.
Add a bounds check on the response length.
wifi: wcn36xx: fix OOB read from firmware count in PRINT_REG_INFO indication
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wcn36xx: fix OOB read from firmware count in PRINT_REG_INFO indication
The firmware-controlled rsp->count field is used as the loop bound for
indexing into the flexible rsp->regs[] array without validation against
the message length. A count exceeding the actual data causes out-of-
bounds reads from the heap-allocated message buffer.
Add a check that count fits within the received message.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read
snd_seq_read() copies a queued variable-length event header to userspace
before expanding the payload. Queued variable-length events use
SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_CHAINED internally, and data.ext.ptr points at the first
extension cell.
The read side strips SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_* bits from data.ext.len before the
copy, but it leaves data.ext.ptr untouched. A userspace sequencer client
can therefore write a direct variable event to itself and read back the
extension-cell kernel address from the returned header.
Clear the temporary header pointer
bpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locks
NMI and tracepoint BPF programs can re-enter the per-CPU or global
LRU lock that bpf_lru_pop_free()/push_free() already hold on the
same CPU, AA-deadlocking. Lockdep reports "inconsistent
{INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI}" on &l->lock (syzbot c69a0a2c816716f1e0d5)
and "possible recursive locking detected" on &loc_l->lock (syzbot
18b26edb69b2e19f3b33).
Prior trylock and rqspinlock based fixes (see links) were nacked
because compromised on reliability.
This patch converts every LRU lock site to rqspinlock_t and adds a

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/nldev: Fix locking when accessing mr->pd
Sashiko points out that, due to rereg_mr, the PD is actually variable and
all the touches in nldev are racy.
Use mr->device instead of mr->pd->device.
Getting the PD restrack ID is more tricky. To avoid disturbing all the
happy paths, add an rdma_restrack_sync() operation which is sort of like
flush_workqueue() or synchronize_irq(): after it returns, all the old
nldev touches to the mr are gone and everything sees the new PD. This
makes it safe to reach into the PD pointer.
firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images()
A recursive locking deadlock can occur in the firmware loader's power
management notification handler.
During system suspend or hibernation preparation, fw_pm_notify() calls
device_cache_fw_images(). This function acquires fw_lock to set the
firmware cache state to FW_LOADER_START_CACHE and then iterates over all
devices using dpm_for_each_dev() while still holding the lock.
For each device, dev_cache_fw_image() schedules asynchronous work to cache
the firmware. If memory allocation for the async work entry f
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
configfs: fix lockless traversals of ->s_children
Having the parent directory locked protects entries from removal
by another thread, but it does *not* protect cursors from being
moved around by lseek() - or freed, for that matter.
btrfs: fix invalid pointer dereference in __btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix invalid pointer dereference in __btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
In the beginning of the loop, we try to obtain a locked delayed ref head,
if 'locked_ref' is currently NULL, by calling btrfs_select_ref_head(),
which can return an error pointer. If the error pointer is -EAGAIN we do
a continue and go back to the beginning of the loop, which will not try
again to call btrfs_select_ref_head() since 'locked_ref' is no longer
NULL but it's ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN), and then we do:
spin_lock(&locked_ref->lock);
against a ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) value, generating an invalid pointer

fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code
The code that gets the frame buffer mode from OF has 'use after free',
'buffer overrun' and memory leaks.
info->edid_data isn't free if the probe functions fail or if
pd->def_mode is set.
If both the CRT and PANEL are enabled info->edid_data is used after
being freed and is freed twice.
The string returned by of_get_property(np, "mode", &len) is just
written over either the static "640x480-16@60" or the module parameter
string without any regard for the length (which is most likely longer).

ixgbe: do not configure xps for XDP queues
netif_set_xps_queue() should not be called for an XDP Tx queue, since such
queues are not netdev-exposed. On systems with number of CPUs >=64, on E610
adapter, netdev is configured with maximum number queue pairs being 63
(due to MSI-X assignment), but configuring XDP results in 64 XDP queues.
So, during XDP program load, when netif_set_xps_queue() is called for the
last XDP queue, we get a WARNING with a call trace and KASAN report
afterwards (if enabled).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/net: complete zerocopy ubufs only once
vhost-net initializes one ubuf_info per outstanding zerocopy TX
descriptor and hands it to the backend socket. The networking stack may
then clone a zerocopy skb before all skb references are released. For
example, batman-adv fragmentation reaches skb_split(), which calls
skb_zerocopy_clone() and increments the same ubuf_info refcount.
vhost_zerocopy_complete() currently treats every ubuf callback as a
completed vhost descriptor. It dereferences ubuf->ctx, writes the
descriptor completion state, and drops the vhost_net_ubuf_r
