In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: vub300: fix use-after-free on probe failure
The vub300 driver lifetime-manages its controller state using
vub300->kref, with vub300_delete() freeing the mmc host when the last
reference is dropped. The probe error path after the inactivity timer has
been armed still bypasses that lifetime rule, however, and falls through
to mmc_free_host() directly if mmc_add_host() fails.
The race window is between arming the inactivity timer and reaching the
probe error unwind after mmc_add_host() fails:

net/mlx5e: macsec: fix use-after-free of metadata_dst on RX SC delete
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: macsec: fix use-after-free of metadata_dst on RX SC delete
When an offloaded MACsec RX SC is deleted, macsec_del_rxsc_ctx() freed
the per-SC metadata_dst with metadata_dst_free(), which kfree()s the
object unconditionally and ignores the dst reference count. The RX
datapath in mlx5e_macsec_offload_handle_rx_skb() looks up the SC under
rcu_read_lock() via xa_load(), takes a reference with dst_hold() and
attaches the dst to the skb with skb_dst_set(). A reader that already
obtained the rx_sc pointer can race with the delete path and operate on
freed memory.

tracing/user_events: Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/user_events: Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup()
user_event_mm_dup() walks the parent mm's enabler list locklessly under
rcu_read_lock() during fork() (from copy_process()); it does not take
event_mutex:
rcu_read_lock();
list_for_each_entry_rcu(enabler, &old_mm->enablers, mm_enablers_link)
enabler->event = user_event_get(orig->event);
user_event_enabler_destroy() removes an enabler from that list with
list_del_rcu() and then, without waiting for a grace period, drops the
enabler's user_event reference with user_event_put() and frees the enabler
with kfre
wifi: libertas_tf: fix use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libertas_tf: fix use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter()
lbtf_free_adapter() calls timer_delete(&priv->command_timer), which does
not wait for a running command_timer_fn() callback. lbtf_free_adapter()
runs on the teardown path right before ieee80211_free_hw() frees priv,
both in lbtf_remove_card() and in the probe error path. command_timer is
armed by mod_timer() in lbtf_cmd() whenever a firmware command is sent.
command_timer_fn() dereferences priv. If a command times out as the
device is removed, command_timer_fn() runs concurrently with teardown and
dereferences pri
locking/rt: Fix the incorrect RCU protection in rt_spin_unlock()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/rt: Fix the incorrect RCU protection in rt_spin_unlock()
rt_spin_unlock() releases the RCU protection before unlocking the
lock. That opens the door for the following UAF scenario:
T1 T2
spin_lock(&p->lock); rcu_read_lock();
invalidate(p); p = rcu_dereference(ptr);
rcu_assign_pointer(ptr, NULL); if (!p) return;
spin_unlock(&p->lock); spin_lock(&p->lock)
lock(&lock->lock);
rcu_read_lock();
kfree_rcu(p); rcu_read_unlock();
....
spin_unlock(&p->lock)
rcu_read_unlock(); // Ends grace period
rcu_do_batch()
kfree(p);
posix-cpu-timers: Use u64 multiplication in update_rlimit_cpu()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-cpu-timers: Use u64 multiplication in update_rlimit_cpu()
update_rlimit_cpu() converts the RLIMIT_CPU value to nanoseconds with
u64 nsecs = rlim_new * NSEC_PER_SEC;
On 32-bit kernels both rlim_new (unsigned long) and NSEC_PER_SEC
(1000000000L) are 32-bit, so the multiplication is performed in unsigned
long and truncated for rlim_new > 4 seconds before being widened to u64.
The same file already casts to u64 for the matching computation in
check_process_timers():
u64 softns = (u64)soft * NSEC_PER_SEC;
As a result, the truncated value is installed i
cpu: hotplug: Preserve per instance callback errors
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpu: hotplug: Preserve per instance callback errors
cpuhp_invoke_callback() unwinds earlier callbacks for the same
hotplug state when one instance fails. The rollback path currently
reuses ret, so a successful rollback can hide the original error and
make the failed transition look successful.
Keep the rollback result separate from the original error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpu: hotplug: Bound hotplug states sysfs output
states_show() adds CPU hotplug state names into a single sysfs buffer
using sprintf(). With enough registered states, this can write past the
end of the PAGE_SIZE buffer.
Use sysfs_emit_at() so output is bounded.
net: mana: Validate the packet length reported by the NIC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Validate the packet length reported by the NIC
Validate the packet length reported in the RX CQE before passing it
to skb processing. The CQE is supplied by the NIC device and should
not be blindly trusted.
gpio: tegra: do not call pinctrl for GPIO direction
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: tegra: do not call pinctrl for GPIO direction
tegra_gpio_direction_input() and tegra_gpio_direction_output() already
program the GPIO controller direction registers directly. The additional
pinctrl_gpio_direction_input/output() calls do not add a Tegra pinctrl
operation, because the Tegra pinmux ops provide GPIO request/free
handling but no gpio_set_direction hook.
The extra call still enters the pinctrl core and takes pctldev->mutex.
Shared GPIO users can call the direction path while holding their
per-line spinlock, so this otherwise redundant pinctrl direction cal
gpio: mt7621: avoid corruption of shared interrupt trigger state
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: mt7621: avoid corruption of shared interrupt trigger state
The bank-shared fields like 'rising' and 'falling' are modified using
non-atomic read-modify-write operations. Since every gpio chip instance
represents an entire bank of 32 pins, if 'mediatek_gpio_irq_type()' is
called concurrently for different IRQs on the same bank a possible overwrite
of each other's configuration is possible. Thus, protect this state with
'gpio_generic_lock_irqsave' lock in the same way it is handled in irp_chip
'mediatek_gpio_irq_mask()' and 'mediatek_gpio_irq_unmask()' callbacks.
net: sit: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sit: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
ipip6_changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and the
tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in or
moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.

net: wwan: t7xx: destroy DMA pool on CLDMA late init failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: t7xx: destroy DMA pool on CLDMA late init failure
t7xx_cldma_late_init() creates md_ctrl->gpd_dmapool before
initializing the TX and RX rings. If any ring initialization
fails, the error path frees the already initialized rings but
leaves the DMA pool allocated.
Destroy md_ctrl->gpd_dmapool on the late-init failure path
to avoid leaking the DMA pool.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ixp4xx_hss: fix duplicate HDLC netdev allocation
ixp4xx_hss_probe() allocates two HDLC netdevs. The first one is stored
in ndev, initialized, and registered with register_hdlc_device(). The
second one is stored in port->netdev and later used by the remove path
for unregister_hdlc_device() and free_netdev().
This means that the registered netdev is not the same object that is
unregistered and freed on remove. It also leaks the first allocation if
the second alloc_hdlcdev() call fails, and the first allocation is not
checked before ndev is used.

net/sched: act_ct: preserve tc_skb_cb across defragmentation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ct: preserve tc_skb_cb across defragmentation
tcf_ct_handle_fragments() calls nf_ct_handle_fragments() without saving
and restoring skb->cb. The defrag helper clears IPCB/IP6CB, which aliases
the tc_skb_cb/qdisc_skb_cb control buffer. Fragmented traffic through
act_ct therefore loses qdisc metadata such as pkt_segs and can trigger
WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_pkt_segs() when panic_on_warn is enabled.
Save and restore the full tc_skb_cb around nf_ct_handle_fragments(),
matching the pattern used by ovs_ct_handle_fragments().
net: ena: clean up XDP TX queues when regular TX setup fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ena: clean up XDP TX queues when regular TX setup fails
create_queues_with_size_backoff() creates XDP TX queues before setting
up the regular TX path. If the subsequent allocation or creation of
regular TX queues fails, the error handling paths omit the teardown of the
XDP TX queues, leading to a resource leak.
Fix this by explicitly destroying the XDP TX queue subset at the two
missing failure points.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under devel
