In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: remove broken string configfs attributes
The UAC1_STR_ATTRIBUTE macro defines configfs show/store handlers for
the fn_play, fn_cap, and fn_cntl string options. The store function
contains an inverted null check on the kstrndup() return value.
This means every write attempt returns -ENOMEM on success and
dereferences a NULL pointer on allocation failure. The attributes
have been broken and unused for many years.
Remove the UAC1_STR_ATTRIBUTE macro and the three attributes it
generated. The internal defaults (FILE_PCM_PLAYBACK, FILE_PCM_CAPTURE,
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
UDF symlink pathComponent header OOB read
udf_symlink_filler() can enter udf_pc_to_char() with a partial pathComponent header.
Validate that enough input remains for a complete pathComponent header
before accessing it. Reject malformed symlink data that would otherwise
make udf_pc_to_char() perform an out-of-bounds read.
uio: Fix stale info pointer in failed registration path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uio: Fix stale info pointer in failed registration path
After device_add(), the UIO device is visible to userspace and /dev/uioX
can be opened. If a later setup step fails, __uio_register_device()
unwinds the device but leaves idev->info pointing at the caller-owned
struct uio_info.
That is unsafe when an opener races with the failed registration path.
The open file keeps a reference to the uio_device, while the caller sees
registration failure and may free its struct uio_info. Later file
operations can then follow idev->info and dereference freed memory.

speakup: keyhelp: guard letter_offsets possible out-of-range indexing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
speakup: keyhelp: guard letter_offsets possible out-of-range indexing
help_init() builds letter_offsets[] by using the first byte of each
function name as an index via `(start & 31) - 1`. If function_names are
overridden from sysfs (root) with a name starting outside [a–z], the
index underflows or exceeds the array, leading to OOB write.
Function names can be overridden with the following commands as root:
modprobe speakup_soft
echo "0 _bad" > /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/function_names
# then press Insert+2 on /dev/tty

misc: ad525x_dpot: use driver core groups for sysfs files
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: ad525x_dpot: use driver core groups for sysfs files
ad_dpot_probe() creates per-RDAC sysfs files manually and then
optionally creates the command sysfs group. This leaves probe responsible
for rolling back partial sysfs state and makes remove responsible for
matching every file that probe created.
Move the device attributes into driver core dev_groups for the I2C and
SPI drivers and use an is_visible() callback to expose only the
attributes supported by the probed device. With this shape, the driver
core creates the sysfs files only after probe succeeds and removes t
ipack: ipoctal: fix UAF, null-ptr-deref, and use-after-free in cleanup on remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipack: ipoctal: fix UAF, null-ptr-deref, and use-after-free in cleanup on remove
Three issues arise when the device is removed while a tty session is
still active:
1. UAF of struct ipoctal: the remove callback frees ipoctal via
kfree() while tty ops may still access it. Fix by introducing
kref-based lifetime management — kref is taken in install() when
a tty is opened and released in cleanup() when the tty is finally
destroyed; remove() uses kref_put() instead of kfree().
2. NULL dereference in ipoctal_write_tty(): __ipoctal_remove()
frees xmit_buf via tty
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: mtdswap: Avoid freeing registered blktrans device twice
In mtdswap_add_mtd(), debugfs setup failure after successful blktrans
registration can free mbd_dev twice.
add_mtd_blktrans_dev() initializes the blktrans device reference and
publishes the disk. Once that succeeds, del_mtd_blktrans_dev() tears the
disk down and drops the blktrans reference; when that reference reaches
zero, blktrans_dev_release() frees the mtd_blktrans_dev.
The debugfs failure path called del_mtd_blktrans_dev(mbd_dev), then fell
through the common cleanup label and called kfree(mbd_dev) again.
mtd: part: reject MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN in mtd_add_partition()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: part: reject MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN in mtd_add_partition()
mtd_add_partition() does not reject the special offset value
MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN (-3), which leads to a WARN_ON in
add_mtd_device() when called through the BLKPG ioctl on NAND
devices. The RETAIN value depends on cur_offset being the end of
the previous partition, but in the dynamic partition path
cur_offset equals the offset argument itself, causing undefined
behavior.
Commit 5daa7b21496a ("mtd: prepare partition add and del functions
for ioctl requests") introduced mtd_add_partition() and correctly
rejected MTDPA
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hfi1: Propagate sdma_txinit_ahg() errors
set_txreq_header_ahg() ignores the return value of sdma_txinit_ahg().
If sdma_txinit_ahg() fails, it returns before initializing tx->txreq.
However, set_txreq_header_ahg() ignores the error and returns the AHG
change count, causing the caller to continue processing the request as
though initialization had succeeded.
Propagate sdma_txinit_ahg() failures to the caller and abort request
processing when initialization fails.

RDMA/rxe: Validate num_sge/cur_sge before indexing wqe->dma.sge[]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Validate num_sge/cur_sge before indexing wqe->dma.sge[]
For a user QP, qp->sq.queue is a ring the application writes directly,
so rxe_post_send() takes the is_user branch and only schedules send_task
without validating the WQE. rxe_requester() consumes it in place via
req_next_wqe() and calls copy_data(), which indexes
&wqe->dma.sge[cur_sge] with the attacker-controlled num_sge/cur_sge.
Only the kernel path bounds num_sge (validate_send_wr()); the user WQE
is never checked, so a local unprivileged user can post a WQE with an
out-of-range cur_sge or oversized num_s
irqchip/gic-v3-its: Prevent leak in its_vpe_irq_domain_alloc()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gic-v3-its: Prevent leak in its_vpe_irq_domain_alloc()
When its_irq_gic_domain_alloc() fails, the following
its_vpe_irq_domain_free() fails to invoke its_vep_teardown() for the
corresponding interrupt, which leaks the resource.
Invoke its_vpe_teardown() in the error handling path to avoid the leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: processor: validate MADT IOAPIC entry bounds
The IOAPIC hotplug lookup parses both MADT and _MAT records directly.
The MADT walk previously used a subtable's declared length to advance
the cursor after only locating a generic header. The _MAT path likewise
passed a generic header to the IOAPIC helper.
Validate that a current record has a complete generic header, that its
declared length is contained in the available record range, and that a
typed IOAPIC record contains the full fixed IOAPIC body before reading
its fields. Use the same relation for both MADT and _MA
ACPI: PCI: Clear driver_data on all paths that free the acpi_pci_root
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: PCI: Clear driver_data on all paths that free the acpi_pci_root
acpi_pci_root_add() assigns the freshly allocated root to
device->driver_data before dmar_device_add() and pci_acpi_scan_root().
Both failure paths reach the end: label where root is kfree()'d, but
only the pci_acpi_scan_root() path clears driver_data first.
When dmar_device_add() fails during a hot-add, root is freed while
device->driver_data still points at it. The ACPI core does not clear
driver_data on attach failure, so a later acpi_pci_find_root() call may
dereference this dangling pointer.

ext4: use fsdata to track inline data write state and fix race
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: use fsdata to track inline data write state and fix race
Instead of checking the live inode state (ext4_has_inline_data(inode)
and ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA)) in the
write_end handlers, use the fsdata parameter of the address space
operations to explicitly pass down the state in which write_begin
prepared the write.
A concurrent thread (such as ext4_page_mkwrite()) can convert the
inline data to an extent between write_begin and write_end. If this
happens, the write_end handlers would previously miss the inline
write_end path and fall th

wifi: ath6kl: avoid buffer overreads in WMI event handlers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath6kl: avoid buffer overreads in WMI event handlers
The following WMI event handlers currently read from the event buffer
without first verifying that the message was large enough to hold the
expected event:
ath6kl_wmi_scan_complete_rx()
ath6kl_wmi_addba_req_event_rx()
ath6kl_wmi_delba_req_event_rx()
Add length checks to prevent overread.
pinctrl: mediatek: use devm_gpiochip_add_data() for GPIO chip
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: mediatek: use devm_gpiochip_add_data() for GPIO chip
The gpio_chip is allocated with device-managed memory but registered with
the non-managed gpiochip_add_data(). This was harmless while the drivers
were built-in, but once they can be built as modules and unbound/rmmod'd,
devm frees the gpio_chip's memory while it is still registered, causing a
use-after-free.
Register it with devm_gpiochip_add_data() so it shares the same
device-managed lifecycle, which also lets the manual gpiochip_remove()
error paths go away.
RDMA/mlx5: Fix integer overflow of user QP buffer size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix integer overflow of user QP buffer size
set_user_buf_size() computes the QP buffer size by left-shifting the
user-supplied rq.wqe_cnt and rq.wqe_shift values as signed integers.
A sufficiently large rq.wqe_cnt causes signed integer overflow, which
is undefined behavior, and yields a small or negative buf_size, causing
ib_umem_get() to map a buffer smaller than the hardware will actually
write into.
Replace the shifts and addition with check_shl_overflow() and
check_add_overflow(), rejecting invalid user inputs.
Moreover, guard the identical shift computing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: release zisofs block pointer buffer head
zisofs_fill_pages() reads the compressed block pointer table. The error
paths release the current buffer_head, the loop also releases the old
buffer_head when it advances. However, the success path leaves the last
buffer_head referenced. Release it before returning success.
spi: oc-tiny: switch to managed controller allocation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: oc-tiny: switch to managed controller allocation
The controller is allocated with the non-managed spi_alloc_host() while
the interrupt is registered with devm_request_irq(). During removal,
spi_bitbang_stop() only unregisters the controller; the subsequent
spi_controller_put() then frees the controller together with its
embedded driver-private devdata, which is the IRQ handler's dev_id. The
devm_request_irq() release action (free_irq()), which drains the
handler, does not run until after .remove() returns. A late or latched
interrupt can therefore reach tiny_spi_irq
