Input: zero ff_effect before compat copy in input_ff_effect_from_user

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: zero ff_effect before compat copy in input_ff_effect_from_user In the compat path input_ff_effect_from_user() aliases the caller's native struct ff_effect with the smaller struct ff_effect_compat and copies only the compat sized prefix: compat_effect = (struct ff_effect_compat *)effect; if (copy_from_user(compat_effect, buffer, sizeof(struct ff_effect_compat))) The tail of the native structure is never written. Callers pass an uninitialized on-stack object, for example evdev_do_ioctl() for EVIOCSFF, so those bytes keep their previous stack contents. input_

hwmon: (pmbus/core) increase number of phases and add new mask

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (pmbus/core) increase number of phases and add new mask Increase the number of phases to 16 as a new upcoming device supports such a number. While at it, add a new mask for controlling the source of the output voltage. Note (groeck): This patch was meant to prepare for support of MAX20826 and compatible devices, which support more than 10 phases per page. However, Sashiko reports that the mp2975 driver already supports up to 14 phases, and the mp2856 driver supports up to 12 phases. This already has the potential for out-of-bounds writes when probing the affected

hwmon: (pwm-fan) Stop RPM timer before freeing tach data

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (pwm-fan) Stop RPM timer before freeing tach data sample_timer() rearms the RPM timer and accesses the devm-managed ctx->tachs and ctx->pulses_per_revolution arrays. The cleanup action which stops the timer is registered before those arrays are allocated. Since devres releases entries in reverse order, driver detach can free the arrays before pwm_fan_cleanup() shuts down the timer. A timer expiry in that window accesses the freed tach data. With a KASAN kernel, a test-only kprobe delayed entry to pwm_fan_cleanup() while normal sysfs unbind ran. Each of three runs r

hwmon: (w83791d) remove fan/pwm 4-5 sysfs group on remove

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (w83791d) remove fan/pwm 4-5 sysfs group on remove When the fan/pwm 4-5 pins are not used as GPIO, w83791d_probe() creates the w83791d_group_fanpwm45 sysfs group on the I2C client device. The probe error path removes this group when a later initialization step fails, but the normal remove path only removes w83791d_group. As a result, the optional fan/pwm 4-5 sysfs files can remain after the driver is unbound. The callbacks associated with these files access the driver data, which is devm allocated and released after driver unbind. Leaving the sysfs files behind can

wifi: brcmsmac: fix UAF in brcms_free_timer()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: brcmsmac: fix UAF in brcms_free_timer() brcms_free_timer() calls brcms_del_timer() which uses the non-synchronous cancel_delayed_work() to cancel the timer's underlying delayed work. If the work callback (_brcms_timer) is already running, cancel_delayed_work() returns false without waiting, and brcms_free_timer() proceeds to kfree(t) while the callback still accesses t through container_of(). Add an explicit cancel_delayed_work_sync() after brcms_del_timer() to guarantee that any in-flight callback has completed before the timer structure is freed.

wifi: iwlegacy: fix broadcast stations deallocation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlegacy: fix broadcast stations deallocation On the error path of __il4965_up(), il_dealloc_bcast_stations() clears only IL_STA_UCODE_ACTIVE, leaving IL_STA_BCAST set. This causes the same broadcast stations to be deallocated again by __il4965_down(). This can occur when RF_KILL is toggled during driver startup. To fix clear the entire 'used' field, since we will not do any other operations on the station.

wifi: libertas_tf: fix UAF in lbtf_free_adapter()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: libertas_tf: fix UAF in lbtf_free_adapter() lbtf_free_adapter() calls lbtf_free_cmd_buffer() to free the command buffers before calling timer_delete_sync() to wait for the command timer callback. If the timer callback (command_timer_fn) is already running when lbtf_free_cmd_buffer() frees the command array, the callback dereferences priv->cur_cmd->cmdbuf which points to freed memory. Swap the order so that timer_delete_sync() runs first, ensuring any in-flight callback has completed before the command buffers are freed.

wifi: libipw: reject TKIP frames without a full MIC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: libipw: reject TKIP frames without a full MIC libipw_michael_mic_verify() assumes that an skb contains an eight-byte Michael MIC. A short TKIP frame makes the unsigned payload length wrap, causing michael_mic() to read past the skb. Check that the MIC is present before verifying it, and use the existing MICHAEL_MIC_LEN constant for all MIC lengths in the verifier.

wifi: wcn36xx: Fix potential use-after-free in TX ack timer teardown

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wcn36xx: Fix potential use-after-free in TX ack timer teardown wcn36xx_dxe_deinit() tears down the TX ack timer with timer_delete(), which only dequeues the timer and does not wait for a callback that is already executing; the preceding free_irq() calls synchronize the interrupt handlers only. The callback, wcn36xx_dxe_tx_timer(), can therefore be running past the teardown and use the wcn freed along with the ieee80211_hw in wcn36xx_remove(): it takes wcn->dxe_lock, reads wcn->tx_ack_skb and passes wcn->hw to ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe(). Fix this by using timer_shu

wifi: wlcore: release runtime PM ref on regdomain config failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wlcore: release runtime PM ref on regdomain config failure wlcore_regdomain_config() gets a runtime PM reference before sending the regulatory-domain command. When wlcore_cmd_regdomain_config_locked() fails, the function queues recovery and returns without dropping that reference. Release the reference after handling the command result so both success and failure paths balance the preceding pm_runtime_resume_and_get(). The recovery worker takes a separate runtime PM reference and cannot release the reference held here.

wifi: wilc1000: fix out-of-bounds read in P2P public action frames

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wilc1000: fix out-of-bounds read in P2P public action frames wilc_wfi_p2p_rx() and mgmt_tx() start parsing a frame once ieee80211_is_public_action() returns true. That helper only verifies the frame is long enough for the action category field, that is offsetofend(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u.action.category), 25 bytes. Both functions then read the P2P public action header up to oui_subtype at offset 30 and pass "size - ie_offset" to cfg80211_find_vendor_ie(), where ie_offset is offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u) + sizeof(*d), i.e. 32. A public action frame of 25 to 31 b

wifi: wilc1000: fix RX buffer OOB-write in wilc_wlan_handle_isr_ext()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wilc1000: fix RX buffer OOB-write in wilc_wlan_handle_isr_ext() wilc_wlan_handle_isr_ext() takes the RX transfer size from the device-reported interrupt status register (a 15-bit field shifted left by 2, up to 131068 bytes) and reads that many bytes from the device into rx_buffer, which is only WILC_RX_BUFF_SIZE (96K) large. The wrap check only handles the current offset; the size itself is never compared against the buffer, so a bogus SDIO device can make the driver OOB-write rx_buffer by up to ~32K with data it controls. The oversized transfer also leaves rx_buffer

wifi: p54: validate curve data length in the calibration curve converters

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: p54: validate curve data length in the calibration curve converters p54_convert_rev0() and p54_convert_rev1() read calibration curve data from the device-supplied EEPROM entry using channel and points-per-channel counts taken verbatim from that same entry, so an entry that declares more data than it carries drives an out-of-bounds read past the EEPROM buffer (verified with a KASAN reproducer of the conversion loop). The sibling converters p54_convert_output_limits() and p54_convert_db() already validate their counts against the entry length; this path was missed. Rej

wifi: p54: require a full exp_if record in PDR_INTERFACE_LIST

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: p54: require a full exp_if record in PDR_INTERFACE_LIST The PDR_INTERFACE_LIST loop only checks that the record start is within the entry before reading an entire struct exp_if from it. A truncated trailing record makes the if_id/variant reads cross the entry boundary into the heap beyond the EEPROM buffer (verified with a KASAN reproducer of the loop). The variant also feeds the synth front-end selection, so this is not only a leak. Advance only while a full record still fits in the entry.

wifi: mwifiex: bound the pairwise-cipher OUI walk to the IE length

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mwifiex: bound the pairwise-cipher OUI walk to the IE length mwifiex_search_oui_in_ie() reads a pairwise-cipher (PTK) count from a beacon/probe-response RSN or WPA information element and then walks that many 4-byte OUIs, comparing each with memcmp(). The count comes straight from the (attacker-supplied) IE and is never checked against the element's own length, and the callers admit the element on element_id alone (has_ieee_hdr() / has_vendor_hdr(), no length check). A crafted RSN/WPA IE with a large pairwise count therefore makes the walk read up to 255 * 4 bytes pas

wifi: mwifiex: validate scan response extents

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mwifiex: validate scan response extents mwifiex_ret_802_11_scan() subtracts the fixed response fields and the firmware-provided BSS length from resp->size without first proving that either extent fits. A short response or oversized BSS length can therefore underflow tlv_buf_size and make the TLV parser walk beyond the command response. Compute the fixed extent from the selected normal or background scan response. Validate that the fixed fields and BSS data fit before deriving the TLV extent and entering the parser.

wifi: mac80211: refuse to make a monitor active when it has no queue

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: refuse to make a monitor active when it has no queue A monitor interface only gets a TXQ if it's created active, and one can't be added later. Setting the flag on a down interface is still allowed, so the driver is handed a monitor with no queue. ath9k dereferences it: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000066 RIP: 0010:ath_tx_node_init+0x49/0x170 [ath9k] ath9k_add_interface+0x10c/0x140 [ath9k] drv_add_interface+0x54/0x250 [mac80211] ieee80211_do_open+0x32f/0x800 [mac80211] Reached with CAP_NET_ADMIN by "iw dev X set moni

drm/gud: fix out-of-bounds write in gud_plane_atomic_check()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gud: fix out-of-bounds write in gud_plane_atomic_check() The plane property loop uses req->properties[num_properties + i] as write index while simultaneously incrementing `num_properties` inside the loop. At iteration i, num_properties has also incremented by i, so the write is done at `initial_num_properties + 2*i`, skipping every other index and advancing by 2 per iteration. With just 2 connector and 32 plane properties the last write happens at index 64, one slot past the end of the 64-slot (indices 0–63) allocation. A USB device can trigger OOB by advertising the m

drm/msm: RCU-free the scheduler-containing ring and VM objects

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: RCU-free the scheduler-containing ring and VM objects Both struct msm_ringbuffer and struct msm_gem_vm embed a struct drm_gpu_scheduler. msm_ringbuffer_destroy() and the VM free callback msm_gem_vm_free() call drm_sched_fini() on the embedded scheduler and then free the containing object with plain kfree(). drm_sched_fence_get_timeline_name() returns fence->sched->name, and the scheduler fence keeps a .release callback so it is not ops-detached on signalling.

drm/amdgpu: fix rmmio iounmap skipped on device removal

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix rmmio iounmap skipped on device removal amdgpu_pci_remove() calls drm_dev_unplug() before fini_sw(), so drm_dev_enter() is already false there and the iounmap() guarded by it is skipped. This .remove path runs on both hot-unplug and plain rmmod, so the register BAR ioremap mapping leaks one instance per unload. Unmap rmmio unconditionally (guard only on non-NULL) and drop the now unused idx. (cherry picked from commit dd6f86a97260e5207d3329ad03aa89fdad61b1e6)
