netfilter: ctnetlink: fix use-after-free in ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ctnetlink: fix use-after-free in ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct()
ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct() stores a conntrack pointer in cb->data for the
netlink dump callback ctnetlink_exp_ct_dump_table(), but drops the
conntrack reference immediately after netlink_dump_start(). When the
dump spans multiple rounds, the second recvmsg() triggers the dump
callback which dereferences the now-freed conntrack via nfct_help(ct),
leading to a use-after-free on ct->ext.
The bug is that the netlink_dump_control has no .start or .done
callbacks to manage the conntrack reference across dump round
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp()
sip_help_tcp() parses the SIP Content-Length header with
simple_strtoul(), which returns unsigned long, but stores the result in
unsigned int clen. On 64-bit systems, values exceeding UINT_MAX are
silently truncated before computing the SIP message boundary.
For example, Content-Length 4294967328 (2^32 + 32) is truncated to 32,
causing the parser to miscalculate where the current message ends. The
loop then treats trailing data in the TCP segment as a second SIP
message and processes it thro
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix OOB read in decode_int() CONS case
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix OOB read in decode_int() CONS case
In decode_int(), the CONS case calls get_bits(bs, 2) to read a length
value, then calls get_uint(bs, len) without checking that len bytes
remain in the buffer. The existing boundary check only validates the
2 bits for get_bits(), not the subsequent 1-4 bytes that get_uint()
reads. This allows a malformed H.323/RAS packet to cause a 1-4 byte
slab-out-of-bounds read.
Add a boundary check for len bytes after get_bits() and before
get_uint().
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()
In DecodeQ931(), the UserUserIE code path reads a 16-bit length from
the packet, then decrements it by 1 to skip the protocol discriminator
byte before passing it to DecodeH323_UserInformation(). If the encoded
length is 0, the decrement wraps to -1, which is then passed as a
large value to the decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read.
Add a check to ensure len is positive after the decrement.
PM: runtime: Fix a race condition related to device removal
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: runtime: Fix a race condition related to device removal
The following code in pm_runtime_work() may dereference the dev->parent
pointer after the parent device has been freed:
/* Maybe the parent is now able to suspend. */
if (parent && !parent->power.ignore_children) {
spin_unlock(&dev->power.lock);
spin_lock(&parent->power.lock);
rpm_idle(parent, RPM_ASYNC);
spin_unlock(&parent->power.lock);
spin_lock(&dev->power.lock);
}
Fix this by inserting a flush_work() call in pm_runtime_remove().

net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to NDP16 nframes bounds check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to NDP16 nframes bounds check
cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp16() validates that the NDP header and its DPE
entries fit within the skb. The first check correctly accounts for
ndpoffset:
if ((ndpoffset + sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16)) > skb_in->len)
but the second check omits it:
if ((sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16) +
ret * (sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_dpe16))) > skb_in->len)
This validates the DPE array size against the total skb length as if
the NDP were at offset 0, rather than at ndpoffset. When the NDP is
placed near the end of th
wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure
ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them
free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning
TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the
fragmentation check both do.
Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent,
and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76,
mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free.
Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: add NULL checks for idev in SRv6 paths
__in6_dev_get() can return NULL when the device has no IPv6 configuration
(e.g. MTU < IPV6_MIN_MTU or after NETDEV_UNREGISTER).
Add NULL checks for idev returned by __in6_dev_get() in both
seg6_hmac_validate_skb() and ipv6_srh_rcv() to prevent potential NULL
pointer dereferences.
udp_tunnel: fix NULL deref caused by udp_sock_create6 when CONFIG_IPV6=n
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp_tunnel: fix NULL deref caused by udp_sock_create6 when CONFIG_IPV6=n
When CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled, the udp_sock_create6() function returns 0
(success) without actually creating a socket. Callers such as
fou_create() then proceed to dereference the uninitialized socket
pointer, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.
The captured NULL deref crash:

apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix race between freeing data and fs accessing it
AppArmor was putting the reference to i_private data on its end after
removing the original entry from the file system. However the inode
can aand does live beyond that point and it is possible that some of
the fs call back functions will be invoked after the reference has
been put, which results in a race between freeing the data and

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix race on rawdata dereference
There is a race condition that leads to a use-after-free situation:
because the rawdata inodes are not refcounted, an attacker can start
open()ing one of the rawdata files, and at the same time remove the
last reference to this rawdata (by removing the corresponding profile,
for example), which frees its struct aa_loaddata; as a result, when
seq_rawdata_open() is reached, i_private is a dangling pointer and
freed memory is accessed.
The rawdata inodes weren't refcounted to avoid a circular refcount and
were supposed to be held by t
apparmor: fix: limit the number of levels of policy namespaces
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix: limit the number of levels of policy namespaces
Currently the number of policy namespaces is not bounded relying on
the user namespace limit. However policy namespaces aren't strictly
tied to user namespaces and it is possible to create them and nest
them arbitrarily deep which can be used to exhaust system resource.
Hard cap policy namespaces to the same depth as user namespaces.
apparmor: replace recursive profile removal with iterative approach
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: replace recursive profile removal with iterative approach
The profile removal code uses recursion when removing nested profiles,
which can lead to kernel stack exhaustion and system crashes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix memory leak in verify_header
The function sets `*ns = NULL` on every call, leaking the namespace
string allocated in previous iterations when multiple profiles are
unpacked. This also breaks namespace consistency checking since *ns
is always NULL when the comparison is made.
Remove the incorrect assignment.
The caller (aa_unpack) initializes *ns to NULL once before the loop,
which is sufficient.
icmp: fix NULL pointer dereference in icmp_tag_validation()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

icmp_tag_validation() unconditionally dereferences the result of

The inet_protos[] array is sparse -- only about 15 of 256 protocol
numbers have registered handlers. When ip_no_pmtu_disc is set to 3

Squashfs: check metadata block offset is within range
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: check metadata block offset is within range
Syzkaller reports a "general protection fault in squashfs_copy_data"
This is ultimately caused by a corrupted index look-up table, which
produces a negative metadata block offset.
This is subsequently passed to squashfs_copy_data (via
squashfs_read_metadata) where the negative offset causes an out of bounds
access.
The fix is to check that the offset is within range in
squashfs_read_metadata. This will trap this and other cases.

In commit 2ff5baa9b527 ("HID: appleir: Fix potential NULL dereference at
