In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix race when loading and unloading a table
If the userspace calls two concurrent table load ioctls and one of them
succeeds and the other fails, there is a race condition because
dm_setup_md_queue walks &md->table_devices without any lock. If the walk
races with dm_table_destroy -> free_devices -> dm_put_table_device, there
is access to invalid memory.
Fix this race by extending the lock over the list walk.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix resume-vs-remove race
If the user issues the resume ioctl and the remove ioctl at the same
time, it may be possible that the device is resumed after it is suspended
in __dm_destroy. The result is that the table is destroyed without
calling the postsuspend method.
Dm targets expect that they may be removed only after the postsuspend
method method was called. If we break this expectation, it can cause
misbehavior in various targets. For example - in the dm-integrity target,
the reboot notifier is not unregistered, leading to use-after-free.
Fix this bug by refusing
dma-buf: dma-heap: don't publish fd before copy_to_user() succeeds
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-buf: dma-heap: don't publish fd before copy_to_user() succeeds
DMA_HEAP_IOCTL_ALLOC allocates a dma-buf and installs an fd into the
caller's fd table via dma_buf_fd() -> fd_install() before
dma_heap_ioctl() copies the result back to userspace. If the trailing
copy_to_user() fails, userspace never learns the fd number, but the
fd (and the underlying dma-buf reference) are already visible to
other threads in the same process and are leaked for the lifetime of
the process.
The obvious "close it on the failure path" fix is unsafe: once
fd_install() has run, another thread
dma-direct: return struct page from dma_direct_alloc_from_pool()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-direct: return struct page from dma_direct_alloc_from_pool()
Commit 5b138c534fda ("dma-direct: factor out a dma_direct_alloc_from_pool
helper") changed dma_direct_alloc_from_pool() to return the CPU address
from dma_alloc_from_pool(). That fits dma_direct_alloc(), but
dma_direct_alloc_pages() also uses the helper and expects a struct page *.
Fix this by making dma_direct_alloc_from_pool() return the struct page *
again, and pass the CPU address back through an out-parameter for the
dma_direct_alloc() caller.
dmaengine: fsl-edma: tracing: no ptr dereference during log output
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: fsl-edma: tracing: no ptr dereference during log output
The fsl edma events store a pointer to a struct fsl_edma_engine in the
ringbuffer and dereference it when a log entry is printed. At this time,
the pointer may no longer be valid.
Event injection can be used to trigger a crash:
$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing
$ echo 'value = 0' > events/fsl_edma/edma_writeb/inject
$ cat trace
The log output needs only edma->membase. Add a membase field at the end
of the event and use the new field for log output. Keep the existing
fields for backward compatibility.
dmaengine: dw-edma: Initialize IRQ data before requesting IRQs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: dw-edma: Initialize IRQ data before requesting IRQs
dw_edma_irq_request() passes struct dw_edma_irq to request_irq() before
dw_edma_channel_setup() fills the back pointer. A shared interrupt can
therefore enter the handler with dw_irq->dw still NULL, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference.
Set the back pointer before installing each handler.
cpuidle: dt_idle_genpd: kfree() the original name allocation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpuidle: dt_idle_genpd: kfree() the original name allocation
dt_idle_pd_alloc() kasprintf()s the full node path, then points
pd->name at kbasename() of that string. dt_idle_pd_free() kfree()s
pd->name, which is no longer the start of the allocation.
Copy the basename instead.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: lock mutex in ceph_mds_check_access()
MDS session OPEN handling replaces mdsc->s_cap_auths under
mdsc->mutex, freeing the previous array and its strings.
ceph_mds_check_access() traverses this array without holding the
mutex. A concurrent session reopen can therefore free the array while
it is being inspected, resulting in a use-after-free like this:

ima: Check for ERR_PTR from dentry_path() in validate_hash_algo()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: Check for ERR_PTR from dentry_path() in validate_hash_algo()
dentry_path() returns ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG) when the path exceeds the
buffer. validate_hash_algo() passes the result straight to
integrity_audit_msg() without checking. ERR_PTR is not NULL, so
integrity_audit_message() sees a valid pointer and calls strlen() on
it, which faults:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU
__within_kprobe_blacklist() traverses kprobe_blacklist without holding
kprobe_mutex. When a module is unloaded, kprobe_remove_area_blacklist()
removes blacklist entries and immediately frees them with kfree().
A concurrent call to within_kprobe_blacklist() can therefore dereference
freed memory.
Furthermore, within_kprobe_blacklist() can be called in atomic or
non-preemptible contexts where the sleeping kprobe_mutex cannot be taken.
Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU. Use guard(rcu)() and
list_for_each_entry_rcu() for traversal, l
mm/mempolicy: fix sleeping allocation in alloc_pages_bulk_weighted_interleave()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mempolicy: fix sleeping allocation in alloc_pages_bulk_weighted_interleave()
syzbot reported a sleeping function called from invalid context splat in
bucket_table_alloc().
When rhashtable_insert_slow() rehashes the table under rcu_read_lock(), it
calls bucket_table_alloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN). If the bucket
table allocation uses vmalloc, __vmalloc_node_range_noprof() invokes
vm_area_alloc_pages() -> alloc_pages_bulk_mempolicy_noprof() with the
passed GFP_ATOMIC flags.
If the current task has an MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE mempolicy,

perf/x86/intel: Fix kernel address leakages in LBR stack
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/intel: Fix kernel address leakages in LBR stack
Before Arch LBR gained CPL filtering support, a user-only branch stack
could still contain kernel addresses. As a result, kernel branch records
may be exposed to user space even when PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER is
requested.
For example, on Intel Tiger Lake, the following command can still report
SYSRET/ERET entries with kernel-space from addresses:
$ ./perf record -e cycles:p -o - --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- \
./perf bench syscall basic --loop 1000 | \
./perf script -i - --fields brstack|tr ' ' '\n'| \

i2c: core: fix debugfs UAF on adapter removal
i2c_del_adapter() frees the adapter's debugfs directory before it
unregisters the adapter device, but the new_device sysfs attribute
stays writable until device_del(). A write racing with removal still
reaches i2c_device_probe(), which passes the freed adap->debugfs to
debugfs_create_dir() as the new client's parent:

i2c: mux: Fix channel node leak on adapter add failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: mux: Fix channel node leak on adapter add failure
i2c_mux_add_adapter() takes a reference to the Device Tree channel node
before registering the new adapter. If adapter registration fails, the
error path frees the private data without dropping that reference.
Release the channel node before freeing the private data.
ALSA: harmony: initialize locks before requesting IRQ
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: harmony: initialize locks before requesting IRQ
snd_harmony_create() registers the IRQ before initializing h->lock and
h->mixer_lock. A pending interrupt can invoke the handler while these
locks are uninitialized.
Initialize both locks before requesting the IRQ so the handler always
sees valid lock state.
ALSA: pcm: Fix race between non-atomic ops and trigger-start
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Fix race between non-atomic ops and trigger-start
We protect the races of the concurrent state transitions between
atomic PCM ops, but the checks between the non-atomic ops (hw_params,
hw_free and prepare) and the atomic ops aren't perfect; there is a
check of the conflicting PCM state at the beginning of hw_params & co,
but the atomic PCM ops can be still issued during the non-atomic PCM
operations. An example such scenario is that a thread A re-issues the
PREPARE or HW_PARAMS for the already prepared stream, while another
thread B triggers the PCM start in the
nvme-fabrics: fix DHCHAP secret leak on parse failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fabrics: fix DHCHAP secret leak on parse failure
nvmf_parse_options() duplicates dhchap_secret and dhchap_ctrl_secret
with match_strdup() before validating the DHHC-1: representation.
If validation fails, the parser returns -EINVAL before the temporary
string in p is assigned to opts->dhchap_secret or
opts->dhchap_ctrl_secret. nvmf_create_ctrl() subsequently frees opts,
but nvmf_free_options() cannot release the unassigned temporary string.
Each rejected option therefore leaks one allocation.
This is easy to miss because valid secrets transfer ownership to opts
and a
nvme-fc: fix double free of fabrics options when nvme_add_ctrl() fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: fix double free of fabrics options when nvme_add_ctrl() fails
nvmf_create_ctrl() owns the fabrics options and frees them whenever
->create_ctrl() returns an error, so a transport must not free them on
its own error paths. nvme-fc tracks this by testing ctrl->ctrl.opts in
nvme_fc_ctrl_free(), which requires nvme_fc_init_ctrl() to clear that
pointer on every error exit.
The coupling is implicit, and commit 1a9e218195a5 ("nvme: split device
add from initialization") broke it by adding a second error exit. When
nvme_add_ctrl() fails, nvme_fc_init_ctrl() jumps to out
nvme-tcp: check the data direction of a C2HData PDU
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-tcp: check the data direction of a C2HData PDU
nvme_tcp_handle_c2h_data() finds the request by command id and checks
that it has a payload, but it does not check that the command asked for
data to be read. A controller that answers a write command with C2HData
therefore reaches nvme_tcp_recv_data(), where _copy_to_iter() hits
WARN_ON_ONCE(i->data_source) and returns 0. The receive path turns that
into -EFAULT and resets the controller.
No data is copied, so this is not memory corruption. What a controller
gets is a kernel warning it can raise at will, which is fata
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: add missing SRCU grace period in error path
nvme_alloc_ns() error path at out_unlink_ns removes ns from the
namespace head siblings list with list_del_rcu(&ns->siblings) but
does not wait for SRCU readers before freeing the namespace struct.
Multipath code iterates the head->list under srcu_read_lock() in
nvme_find_path() and nvme_mpath_revalidate_paths(), so a concurrent
reader can still hold a reference to ns when kfree(ns) runs.
The normal removal path in nvme_ns_remove() correctly calls
synchronize_srcu(&ns->head->srcu) after list_del_rcu() to wait for
in-progres
