x86/apic: Disable x2apic on resume if the kernel expects so
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/apic: Disable x2apic on resume if the kernel expects so
When resuming from s2ram, firmware may re-enable x2apic mode, which may have
been disabled by the kernel during boot either because it doesn't support IRQ
remapping or for other reasons. This causes the kernel to continue using the
xapic interface, while the hardware is in x2apic mode, which causes hangs.
This happens on defconfig + bare metal + s2ram.
Fix this in lapic_resume() by disabling x2apic if the kernel expects it to be
disabled, i.e. when x2apic_mode = 0.
The ACPI v6.6 spec, Section 16.3 [1] says firmwa
smb: client: fix in-place encryption corruption in SMB2_write()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix in-place encryption corruption in SMB2_write()
SMB2_write() places write payload in iov[1..n] as part of rq_iov.
smb3_init_transform_rq() pointer-shares rq_iov, so crypt_message()
encrypts iov[1] in-place, replacing the original plaintext with
ciphertext. On a replayable error, the retry sends the same iov[1]
which now contains ciphertext instead of the original data,
resulting in corruption.
The corruption is most likely to be observed when connections are
unstable, as reconnects trigger write retries that re-send the
already-encrypted data.

btrfs: fix transaction abort when snapshotting received subvolumes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix transaction abort when snapshotting received subvolumes
Currently a user can trigger a transaction abort by snapshotting a
previously received snapshot a bunch of times until we reach a
BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL item overflow (the maximum item size we
can store in a leaf). This is very likely not common in practice, but
if it happens, it turns the filesystem into RO mode. The snapshot, send
and set_received_subvol and subvol_setflags (used by receive) don't
require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, just inode_owner_or_capable(). A malicious user
could use this to turn a filesy
btrfs: fix transaction abort on set received ioctl due to item overflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix transaction abort on set received ioctl due to item overflow
If the set received ioctl fails due to an item overflow when attempting to
add the BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL we have to abort the transaction
since we did some metadata updates before.
This means that if a user calls this ioctl with the same received UUID
field for a lot of subvolumes, we will hit the overflow, trigger the
transaction abort and turn the filesystem into RO mode. A malicious user
could exploit this, and this ioctl does not even requires that a user
has admin privileges (CAP_SYS_ADMI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: gyro: mpu3050-core: fix pm_runtime error handling
The return value of pm_runtime_get_sync() is not checked, allowing
the driver to access hardware that may fail to resume. The device
usage count is also unconditionally incremented. Use
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() which propagates errors and avoids
incrementing the usage count on failure.
In preenable, add pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() on set_8khz_samplerate()
failure since postdisable does not run when preenable fails.
iio: light: bh1780: fix PM runtime leak on error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: light: bh1780: fix PM runtime leak on error path
Move pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() before the error check to ensure
the PM runtime reference count is always decremented after
pm_runtime_get_sync(), regardless of whether the read operation
succeeds or fails.
smb: client: require a full NFS mode SID before reading mode bits
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: require a full NFS mode SID before reading mode bits
parse_dacl() treats an ACE SID matching sid_unix_NFS_mode as an NFS
mode SID and reads sid.sub_auth[2] to recover the mode bits.
That assumes the ACE carries three subauthorities, but compare_sids()
only compares min(a, b) subauthorities. A malicious server can return
an ACE with num_subauth = 2 and sub_auth[] = {88, 3}, which still
matches sid_unix_NFS_mode and then drives the sub_auth[2] read four
bytes past the end of the ACE.
Require num_subauth >= 3 before treating the ACE as an NFS mode SID.

usb: gadget: f_subset: Fix unbalanced refcnt in geth_free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_subset: Fix unbalanced refcnt in geth_free
geth_alloc() increments the reference count, but geth_free() fails to
decrement it. This prevents the configuration of attributes via configfs
after unlinking the function.
Decrement the reference count in geth_free() to ensure proper cleanup.
usb: gadget: f_rndis: Protect RNDIS options with mutex
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_rndis: Protect RNDIS options with mutex
The class/subclass/protocol options are suspectible to race conditions
as they can be accessed concurrently through configfs.
Use existing mutex to protect these options. This issue was identified
during code inspection.
comedi: Reinit dev->spinlock between attachments to low-level drivers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: Reinit dev->spinlock between attachments to low-level drivers
`struct comedi_device` is the main controlling structure for a COMEDI
device created by the COMEDI subsystem. It contains a member `spinlock`
containing a spin-lock that is initialized by the COMEDI subsystem, but
is reserved for use by a low-level driver attached to the COMEDI device
(at least since commit 25436dc9d84f ("Staging: comedi: remove RT
code")).
Some COMEDI devices (those created on initialization of the COMEDI
subsystem when the "comedi.comedi_num_legacy_minors" parameter is
non-zero) can b
ipv6: prevent possible UaF in addrconf_permanent_addr()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent possible UaF in addrconf_permanent_addr()
The mentioned helper try to warn the user about an exceptional
condition, but the message is delivered too late, accessing the ipv6
after its possible deletion.
Reorder the statement to avoid the possible UaF; while at it, place the
warning outside the idev->lock as it needs no protection.
btrfs: reserve enough transaction items for qgroup ioctls
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: reserve enough transaction items for qgroup ioctls
Currently our qgroup ioctls don't reserve any space, they just do a
transaction join, which does not reserve any space, neither for the quota
tree updates nor for the delayed refs generated when updating the quota
tree. The quota root uses the global block reserve, which is fine most of
the time since we don't expect a lot of updates to the quota root, or to
be too close to -ENOSPC such that other critical metadata updates need to
resort to the global reserve.
However this is not optimal, as not reserving proper spa
lib/crypto: chacha: Zeroize permuted_state before it leaves scope
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/crypto: chacha: Zeroize permuted_state before it leaves scope
Since the ChaCha permutation is invertible, the local variable
'permuted_state' is sufficient to compute the original 'state', and thus
the key, even after the permutation has been done.
While the kernel is quite inconsistent about zeroizing secrets on the
stack (and some prominent userspace crypto libraries don't bother at all
since it's not guaranteed to work anyway), the kernel does try to do it
as a best practice, especially in cases involving the RNG.
Thus, explicitly zeroize 'permuted_state' before it
Bluetooth: SMP: force responder MITM requirements before building the pairing response
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: SMP: force responder MITM requirements before building the pairing response
smp_cmd_pairing_req() currently builds the pairing response from the
initiator auth_req before enforcing the local BT_SECURITY_HIGH
requirement. If the initiator omits SMP_AUTH_MITM, the response can
also omit it even though the local side still requires MITM.
tk_request() then sees an auth value without SMP_AUTH_MITM and may
select JUST_CFM, making method selection inconsistent with the pairing
policy the responder already enforces.
When the local side requires HIGH security, first ver
cpufreq: governor: fix double free in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: governor: fix double free in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() error path
When kobject_init_and_add() fails, cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() calls
kobject_put(&dbs_data->attr_set.kobj).
The kobject release callback cpufreq_dbs_data_release() calls
gov->exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data), but the current error path
then calls gov->exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data) again, causing a
double free.
Keep the direct kfree(dbs_data) for the gov->init() failure path, but
after kobject_init_and_add() has been called, let kobject_put() handle
the cleanup through cpufreq_dbs_data_rele
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: dummy-hcd: Fix locking/synchronization error
Syzbot testing was able to provoke an addressing exception and crash
in the usb_gadget_udc_reset() routine in
drivers/usb/gadgets/udc/core.c, resulting from the fact that the
routine was called with a second ("driver") argument of NULL. The bad
caller was set_link_state() in dummy_hcd.c, and the problem arose
because of a race between a USB reset and driver unbind.
These sorts of races were not supposed to be possible; commit
7dbd8f4cabd9 ("USB: dummy-hcd: Fix erroneous synchronization change"),
along with a few followup c
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: solo6x10: Check for out of bounds chip_id
Clang with CONFIG_UBSAN_SHIFT=y noticed a condition where a signed type
(literal "1" is an "int") could end up being shifted beyond 32 bits,
so instrumentation was added (and due to the double is_tw286x() call
seen via inlining), Clang decides the second one must now be undefined
behavior and elides the rest of the function[1]. This is a known problem
with Clang (that is still being worked on), but we can avoid the entire
problem by actually checking the existing max chip ID, and now there is
no runtime instrumentation added
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: remove fake timeout to avoid leak request
Since commit 15f73f5b3e59 ("blk-mq: move failure injection out of
blk_mq_complete_request"), drivers are responsible for calling
blk_should_fake_timeout() at appropriate code paths and opportunities.
However, the dm driver does not implement its own timeout handler and
relies on the timeout handling of its slave devices.
If an io-timeout-fail error is injected to a dm device, the request
will be leaked and never completed, causing tasks to hang indefinitely.
Reproduce:
1. prepare dm which has iscsi slave device
2. inject io-t
ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()
In acpi_processor_errata_piix4(), the pointer dev is first assigned an IDE
device and then reassigned an ISA device:
dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB, ...);
dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB_0, ...);
If the first lookup succeeds but the second fails, dev becomes NULL. This
leads to a potential null-pointer dereference when dev_dbg() is called:
if (errata.piix4.bmisx)
dev_dbg(&dev->dev, ...);
To prevent this, use two temporary pointers and ret
md raid: fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md raid: fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid
When using device-mapper's dm-raid target, stopping a RAID array can cause
the system to hang under specific conditions.
This occurs when:
- A dm-raid managed device tree is suspended from top to bottom
(the top-level RAID device is suspended first, followed by its
underlying metadata and data devices)
- The top-level RAID device is then removed
Removing the top-level device triggers a hang in the following sequence:
the dm-raid destructor calls md_stop(), which tries to flush the
write-intent b
