xfrm: espintcp: do not reuse an in-progress partial send
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: espintcp: do not reuse an in-progress partial send
espintcp keeps a single in-flight transmit in ctx->partial.
Before building a new sk_msg, espintcp_sendmsg() first tries to flush
that state through espintcp_push_msgs().
For blocking callers, espintcp_push_msgs() may return success even when
the previous partial send is still pending. espintcp_sendmsg() would
then reinitialize emsg->skmsg and reuse ctx->partial while the old
transfer still owns that state.
Do not rebuild the send message when ctx->partial is still in progress.
If espintcp_push_msgs() returns with e
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tvlv: reject oversized TVLV packets
batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append() builds a TVLV packet section from
the tvlv.container_list. The total size of this section is computed by
batadv_tvlv_container_list_size(), which sums the sizes of all registered
containers.
The return type and accumulator in batadv_tvlv_container_list_size() were
u16. If the accumulated size exceeds U16_MAX, the value wraps around,
causing the subsequent allocation in batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append()
to be undersized. The memcpy-style copy that follows would then write
beyond the end of t
io_uring/poll: fix signed comparison in io_poll_get_ownership()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/poll: fix signed comparison in io_poll_get_ownership()
io_poll_get_ownership() uses a signed comparison to check whether
poll_refs has reached the threshold for the slowpath:
if (unlikely(atomic_read(&req->poll_refs) >= IO_POLL_REF_BIAS))
atomic_read() returns int (signed). When IO_POLL_CANCEL_FLAG
(BIT(31)) is set in poll_refs, the value becomes negative in
signed arithmetic, so the >= 128 comparison always evaluates to
false and the slowpath is never taken.
Fix this by casting the atomic_read() result to unsigned int
before the comparison, so that the canc
batman-adv: tp_meter: avoid use of uninit sender vars
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tp_meter: avoid use of uninit sender vars
batadv_tp_recv_ack() and batadv_tp_stop() are only valid for tp_vars in the
BATADV_TP_SENDER role. When called with a BATADV_TP_RECEIVER role, it
proceeds to read sender-only members that were never initialized, leading
to undefined behavior.
This can be triggered when a node that is currently acting as a receiver in
an ongoing tp_meter session receives a malicious ACK packet.
Guard against this by checking tp_vars->role immediately after the
lookup and bailing out if it is not BATADV_TP_SENDER, before any of
those mem
ipc/shm: serialize orphan cleanup with shm_nattch updates
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipc/shm: serialize orphan cleanup with shm_nattch updates
shm_destroy_orphaned() walks the shm idr under shm_ids(ns).rwsem, but that
does not serialize all fields tested by shm_may_destroy(). In particular,
shm_nattch is updated while holding shm_perm.lock, and attach paths can do
that without holding the rwsem.
Do not decide that an orphaned segment is unused before taking the object
lock. Move the shm_may_destroy() check under shm_perm.lock, matching the
other destroy paths, and unlock the segment when it no longer qualifies
for removal.
sctp: stream: fully roll back denied add-stream state
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: stream: fully roll back denied add-stream state
When ADD_OUT_STREAMS is denied, SCTP only shrinks the queued chunks and
then lowers outcnt. That leaves removed stream metadata behind, so a
later re-add can reuse a stale ext and hit a null-pointer dereference in
the scheduler get path.
Fix the rollback by tearing down the removed stream state the same way
other stream resizes do. Unschedule the current scheduler state, drop
the removed stream ext state with sctp_stream_outq_migrate(), and then
reschedule the remaining streams.
This keeps scheduler-private RR/FC/PRIO
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Reject SIOCATMARK on non-stream sockets
SIOCATMARK reports whether the receive queue is at the urgent mark for
MSG_OOB.
In AF_UNIX, MSG_OOB is supported only for SOCK_STREAM sockets.
SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET reject MSG_OOB in sendmsg() and recvmsg(),
so they should not support SIOCATMARK either.
Return -EOPNOTSUPP for non-stream sockets before checking the receive
queue.
netfilter: ebtables: fix OOB read in compat_mtw_from_user
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ebtables: fix OOB read in compat_mtw_from_user
Luxiao Xu says:
The function compat_mtw_from_user() converts ebtables extensions from
32-bit user structures to kernel native structures. However, it lacks
proper validation of the user-supplied match_size/target_size.
When certain extensions are processed, the kernel-side translation
logic may perform memory accesses based on the extension's expected
size. If the user provides a size smaller than what the extension
requires, it results in an out-of-bounds read as reported by KASAN.
This fix introduces a c
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: clear current gateway during teardown
batadv_gw_node_free() removes the gateway list entries during mesh teardown,
but it does not clear the currently selected gateway. This leaves stale
gateway state behind across cleanup and can break a later mesh recreation.
Clear bat_priv->gw.curr_gw before walking the gateway list so the selected
gateway reference is dropped as part of teardown.
vrf: Fix a potential NPD when removing a port from a VRF
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vrf: Fix a potential NPD when removing a port from a VRF
RCU readers that identified a net device as a VRF port using
netif_is_l3_slave() assume that a subsequent call to
netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() will return a VRF device. They then
continue to dereference its l3mdev operations.
This assumption is not always correct and can result in a NPD [1]. There
is no RCU synchronization when removing a port from a VRF, so it is
possible for an RCU reader to see a new master device (e.g., a bridge)
that does not have l3mdev operations.
Fix by adding RCU synchronization after
sctp: purge outqueue on stale COOKIE-ECHO handling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: purge outqueue on stale COOKIE-ECHO handling
sctp_stream_update() is only invoked when the association is moved into
COOKIE_WAIT during association setup/reconfiguration. In this path, the
outbound stream scheduler state (stream->out_curr) is expected to be
clean, since no user data should have been transmitted yet unless the
state machine has already partially progressed.
However, a corner case exists in sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale(): when a
Stale Cookie ERROR is received, the association is rolled back from
COOKIE_ECHOED to COOKIE_WAIT. In this scenario, user data may a
ipc: limit next_id allocation to the valid ID range
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipc: limit next_id allocation to the valid ID range
The checkpoint/restore sysctl path can request the next SysV IPC id
through ids->next_id. ipc_idr_alloc() currently forwards that request to
idr_alloc() with an open-ended upper bound.
If the valid tail of the SysV IPC id space is full, the allocation can
spill beyond ipc_mni. The returned SysV IPC id still uses the normal
index encoding, so later lookup and removal can target the wrong slot.
This leaves the real IDR entry behind and breaks the IDR state for the
object.
The bug is in ipc_idr_alloc() in the checkpoint/
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: dat: handle forward allocation error
batadv_dat_forward_data() calls pskb_copy_for_clone() to duplicate an skb
for each DHT candidate, but does not check the return value before passing
it to batadv_send_skb_prepare_unicast_4addr(). That function dereferences
the skb unconditionally, so a failed allocation triggers a NULL pointer
dereference.
Skip forwarding to the current DHT candidate on allocation failure.
netfilter: ipset: stop hash:* range iteration at end
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: stop hash:* range iteration at end
The following hash set variants:
hash:ip,mark
hash:ip,port
hash:ip,port,ip
hash:ip,port,net
iterate IPv4 ranges with a 32-bit iterator.
The iterator must stop once the last address in the requested range has
been processed. Advancing it once more can move the traversal state past
the end of the request, so a later retry may continue from an unintended
position.
Handle the iterator increment explicitly at the end of the loop and stop
once the upper bound has been processed. This keeps the existing retry
behaviour intac
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_policy: fix strict mode inbound policy matching
match_policy_in() walks sec_path entries from the last transform to the
first one, but strict policy matching needs to consume info->pol[] in
the same forward order as the rule layout.
Derive the strict-match policy position from the number of transforms
already consumed so that multi-element inbound rules are matched
consistently.
batman-adv: fix tp_meter counter underflow during shutdown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: fix tp_meter counter underflow during shutdown
batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() unconditionally decrements the "sending"
atomic counter. If multiple paths (e.g. timeout, user cancel, and
normal finish) call this function, the counter can underflow to -1.
Since the sender logic treats any non-zero value as "still sending",
a negative value causes the sender kthread to loop indefinitely.
This leads to a use-after-free when the interface is removed while
the zombie thread is still active.
Fix this by using atomic_xchg() to ensure the counter only transitions
from 1 to
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: serialize accept_q access
bt_sock_poll() walks the accept queue without synchronization, while
child teardown can unlink the same socket and drop its last reference.
The unsynchronized accept queue walk has existed since the initial
Bluetooth import.
Protect accept_q with a dedicated lock for queue updates and polling.
Also rework bt_accept_dequeue() to take temporary child references under
the queue lock before dropping it and locking the child socket.
sctp: diag: reject stale associations in dump_one path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: diag: reject stale associations in dump_one path
The SCTP exact sock_diag lookup can hold a transport reference, block on
lock_sock(sk), and then resume after sctp_association_free() has marked
the association dead and freed its bind address list.
When that happens, inet_assoc_attr_size() and
inet_diag_msg_sctpasoc_fill() can still dereference association state
that is no longer valid for reporting. In particular,
inet_diag_msg_sctpasoc_fill() may read an empty bind-address list as a
real sctp_sockaddr_entry and trigger an out-of-bounds read from
unrelated associatio
batman-adv: frag: disallow unicast fragment in fragment
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: frag: disallow unicast fragment in fragment
batadv_frag_skb_buffer() is called by batadv_batman_skb_recv() when a
BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet is received. Once all fragments are collected
and the packet is reassembled, batadv_recv_frag_packet() calls
batadv_batman_skb_recv() again to process the defragmented payload.
A malicious sender can craft a BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet whose reassembled
payload is itself a BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet (matryoshka-style nesting).
Each nesting level recurses through batadv_batman_skb_recv() without bound,
growing the kernel sta
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ip6t_hbh: reject oversized option lists
struct ip6t_opts stores at most IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR option descriptors,
but hbh_mt6_check() does not reject larger optsnr values supplied from
userspace.
Validate optsnr in the rule setup path so only match data that fits the
fixed-size opts array can be installed. This follows the existing xtables
pattern of rejecting invalid user-provided counts in checkentry() and
keeps the packet matching path unchanged.
`struct ip6t_opts` has a fixed `opts[IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR]` array,
where `IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR` is 16, then off-by-one array a
