smack: fix cred UAF in smack_file_send_sigiotask()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smack: fix cred UAF in smack_file_send_sigiotask()
When inspecting the credentials of another task, objective credentials
(->real_cred, accessed with __task_cred()) must always be used.
Accessing ->cred on a non-current task is forbidden unless that task is
being created or destroyed; a task is allowed to change its own ->cred
pointer with no synchronization, and changing ->cred should only affect the
current syscall.
smack_file_send_sigiotask() was accessing both sets of credentials: First
tsk->cred, then __task_cred(tsk).
Fix it, always access the objective credentials
vlan: fix skb_under_panic and races when toggling HW VLAN offload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vlan: fix skb_under_panic and races when toggling HW VLAN offload
Toggling hardware VLAN TX offload (NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_TX or
NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_TX) on a lower device invokes vlan_transfer_features(),
which dynamically changed vlandev->hard_header_len.
This causes two issues:
1. Lockless TX paths (e.g. packet_snd in af_packet.c, ip6_finish_output2)
read dev->hard_header_len without holding RTNL lock. Mutating
hard_header_len dynamically under RTNL creates a data race where upper
layers reserve insufficient headroom based on a stale hard_header_len,
resultin
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: vsie: zero stale crypto bits
When shadowing crypto access bits from a format0 apcb (crycb 0 or 1),
the bits 64..255 are unchanged from whatever is in the vsie page in the
crycb and thus in the apcb. This gives a nested guest potential access
to a device no longer available. Zero out the remaining bits.
HID: core: fix number/pointer type confusion on long items
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: fix number/pointer type confusion on long items
When fetch_item() is called by hid_scan_report() on an item with
HID_ITEM_TAG_LONG, it stores a pointer to the item data in
item->data.longdata instead of storing a value directly in
item->data.{u8/u16/u32}.
When item_udata() or item_sdata() encounters such an item, it incorrectly
assumes that the item is in short format, and therefore returns the lower
part of a kernel pointer reinterpreted as a number.
When a HID device is connected whose descriptor contains a
HID_GLOBAL_ITEM_TAG_REPORT_SIZE encoded in long form
selinux: require every boolean value to be defined
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: require every boolean value to be defined
p_bools.nprim comes from the policy image independently of how many
booleans follow it, and cond_index_bool() fills bool_val_to_struct[] at
value - 1, so a count larger than the values present leaves NULL entries.
Every user of that array then walks it by index and dereferences each
entry: cond_evaluate_expr() on the access-vector path,
security_get_bools() and security_get_bool_value() behind selinuxfs, and
security_set_bools(). A sparse class value is absorbed by
policydb_class_isvalid() and its siblings; booleans have no
selinux: reject an unclaimed class value in security_get_classes()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: reject an unclaimed class value in security_get_classes()
security_get_classes() sizes an array by p_classes.nprim and fills it at
value - 1, so a class value the policy never defines leaves a NULL.
sel_make_classes() passes every entry to sel_make_dir(), reaching the same
d_alloc_name() dereference as the permission array. The class symbol table
is allowed to be sparse (policydb_class_isvalid() exists to absorb that),
but this getter builds its own array straight from the hash table and has
no such predicate.
Fail the lookup when a value went unclaimed instead of
drm/amdgpu: Reject UVD message with invalid number of h265 refs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Reject UVD message with invalid number of h265 refs
Same change as for h264, avoids overflow later when calculating
min dpb size.

dmaengine: sun6i-dma: Fix reclaim descriptors while terminating DMA
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: sun6i-dma: Fix reclaim descriptors while terminating DMA
When terminating DMA transfers, active descriptors are not properly
reclaimed. Only cyclic descriptors were handled, leaving non-cyclic
descriptors and their LLI chains to be permanently leaked.
Fix by using vchan_terminate_vdesc() which handles both cyclic and
non-cyclic descriptors by adding them to desc_terminated queue for
proper cleanup.
Add pchan->desc != pchan->done check to prevent double-adding completed
descriptors, which would corrupt the list.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix the checksum validations
ip_vs_in_icmp_v6() is missing checksum validation for ICMPv6
packets from clients. In fact, as for TCP/UDP we should
validate the checksum for ICMP packets only when we
mangle the packets on MASQ or on reply for tunnel.
Also, Sashiko points out that handle_response_icmp() being
common for IPv4 and IPv6 is missing the pseudo-header
calculation while validating ICMPv6 messages from real
servers which is a problem if checksum is not validated
by the hardware.
Fix the problems by creating ip_vs_checksum_common_check()
helper and use it for T
sctp: reject stale cookies with mismatched verification tags
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: reject stale cookies with mismatched verification tags
sctp_unpack_cookie() skips cookie expiration checks whenever an
association already exists. This is broader than the exception in
RFC 9260 Section 5.2.4.
For an existing association, Section 5.2.4 permits an expired State
Cookie only when both Verification Tags in the cookie match the current
association. Otherwise, the packet SHOULD be discarded and a Stale
Cookie ERROR MUST be sent.
The broad check lets an expired Action A restart cookie reach
sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a(). In a runtime test with the default 60 se
drm/vmwgfx: drop dma_buf reference on foreign-fd prime import
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: drop dma_buf reference on foreign-fd prime import
ttm_prime_fd_to_handle() returns -ENOSYS when the imported fd's
dma_buf->ops do not match the ttm_object_device's ops, but does so
without releasing the reference acquired by dma_buf_get(). Any
unprivileged renderD client passing a non-vmwgfx prime fd through the
DRM_VMW_GB_SURFACE_REF{,_EXT} path leaks one dma_buf reference per
call and indefinitely pins the foreign exporter's GEM resources.
Funnel the error path through the existing dma_buf_put() so the
reference is always dropped.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: msm: Disable DMA for kernel console UART
At the moment, concurrent writes from userspace and the kernel to the
console can trigger a race condition that results in an infinite loop of
the same messages printed over and over again. This is most likely to
happen during system startup or shutdown when the init system starts/stops
a large number of system services that interact with various kernel code.
When userspace writes to the TTY device, the driver initiates an
asynchronous DMA transfer and releases the port lock. At the same moment,
the kernel printk path might
drm/tegra: gr2d/gr3d: Initialize address register map before HOST1X client is registered
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/tegra: gr2d/gr3d: Initialize address register map before HOST1X client is registered
The host1x_client_register() function is called just prior to register map
initialization loop, making the device available to userspace. This may
result in userspace attempting to submits a job before the register map is
initialized. Address this by moving register initialization before host1x
client registration.
ocfs2: fix buffer head management in ocfs2_read_blocks()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix buffer head management in ocfs2_read_blocks()
In ocfs2_read_blocks(), caller should't assume that buffer head returned
by 'sb_getblk()' is exclusively owned and so 'put_bh()' always drops
b_count from 1 to 0. If it is not so, buffer head remains on hold and
likely to be returned by the next call to 'sb_getblk()' unchanged - that
is, with BH_Uptodate bit set even if it has failed validation previously,
thus allowing to insert that buffer head into OCFS2 metadata cache and
submit it to upper layers. To avoid such a scenario, BH_Uptodate should
be cleared immediat
ocfs2: fix circular locking dependency in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix circular locking dependency in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
A circular locking dependency involves INODE_ALLOC_SYSTEM_INODE,
EXTENT_ALLOC_SYSTEM_INODE, and ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE.
1. ocfs2_mknod() acquires INODE_ALLOC then EXTENT_ALLOC.
2. ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() acquires EXTENT_ALLOC for unwritten
extents, then ORPHAN_DIR via ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() while still
holding EXTENT_ALLOC.
3. ocfs2_wipe_inode() acquires ORPHAN_DIR then INODE_ALLOC via
ocfs2_remove_inode.
Break the cycle in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() by freeing the allocation
contexts (rele
ring-buffer: Fix event length with forced 8-byte alignment
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Fix event length with forced 8-byte alignment
When RB_FORCE_8BYTE_ALIGNMENT is true, rb_calculate_event_length()
reserves the space of event->array[0] for placing the data length and
rb_update_event() stores the data length in event->array[0]
accordingly. As a result the whole event length will add extra 4 bytes
for sizeof(event.array[0]) unconditionally.
But ring_buffer_event_length() only subtracts the
sizeof(event->array[0]) for events larger than RB_MAX_SMALL_DATA +
sizeof(event->array[0]). As a result, small events on architectures
with RB_FORCE_8BYTE_ALI
ipvs: use parsed transport offset in TCP state lookup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: use parsed transport offset in TCP state lookup
TCP state handling reparses the skb to find the TCP header. For IPv6 it
uses sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), while the surrounding IPVS code already
parsed the packet with ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() and has the real
transport-header offset in iph.len.
This makes TCP state handling look at the wrong bytes when an IPv6
packet carries extension headers. Use the parsed transport offset passed
down from ip_vs_set_state() when reading the TCP header.
For IPv4 and for IPv6 packets without extension headers, the passed
offset matches the pr
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: avoid busy looping in tipc_exit_net()
Blamed commit introduced a busy-wait loop in tipc_exit_net()
to wait for pending UDP bearer cleanup works to complete:
while (atomic_read(&tn->wq_count))
cond_resched();
This loop can busy-wait for a long time if cond_resched() is a NOP. This
typically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task,
or under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In
such cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups.
Fix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(),
