net/ncsi: fix heap OOB read in NCSI_CMD_SEND_CMD payload length
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/ncsi: fix heap OOB read in NCSI_CMD_SEND_CMD payload length
ncsi_send_cmd_nl() takes the number of bytes to copy from the
attacker-controlled ncsi_pkt_hdr.length field of the in-band packet
header, while the source buffer is the NCSI_ATTR_DATA netlink
attribute whose readable size is nla_len() - sizeof(ncsi_pkt_hdr).
The two length sources are never cross-checked: only
nla_len() >= sizeof(struct ncsi_pkt_hdr) is enforced.
With hdr->length set larger than the attribute payload (up to 65535
against at most 2032 readable bytes), ncsi_cmd_handler_oem() copies
past the end
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: prestera: validate firmware header length
prestera_fw_hdr_parse() reads the firmware header before checking
that the firmware image contains that header.
Reject images shorter than struct prestera_fw_header before decoding the
magic and version fields.
net/smc: fix TOCTOU race between smc_listen_out() and listener close
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix TOCTOU race between smc_listen_out() and listener close
smc_listen_out() reads lsmc->sk.sk_state without the listener lock,
then acquires lock_sock_nested() only after the check passes. This
opens a window where smc_close_active() can transition the listener
to SMC_CLOSED, call smc_close_cleanup_listen() to drain the accept
queue, and release the lock, all between the lockless read and the
delayed lock acquisition:
smc_listen_work (smc_hs_wq) smc_close_active()

net: thunderbolt: Tear down DMA paths before stopping the rings
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: thunderbolt: Tear down DMA paths before stopping the rings
tbnet_tear_down() stops both rings and frees their frame buffers before
calling tb_xdomain_disable_paths(). tb_ring_stop() zeroes the ring's
descriptor base and tbnet_free_buffers() unmaps and frees the pages the
frames sit in, so by the time __tb_path_deactivate_hop() polls the hop's
'pending' bit, anything still in flight has nowhere to drain to.
The teardown sequence has been in this order since the driver was added.
The setup path has not: commit ff7cd07f3064 ("net: thunderbolt: Enable

s390/ism: Fix UAF of sba and ieq during ism_dev_exit()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ism: Fix UAF of sba and ieq during ism_dev_exit()
A ism interrupt handler can be active in parallel with ism_dev_exit(),
accessing freed data structures.
No new interrupts will be generated after unregister_ieq(). Drain ongoing
interrupt handlers by free_irq(), before freeing ism data structures.
net/atm: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in vcc_setsockopt()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/atm: fix slab-out-of-bounds read in vcc_setsockopt()
vcc_setsockopt() contained an ineffective optlen check:
if (__SO_LEVEL_MATCH(optname, level) && optlen != __SO_SIZE(optname))
return -EINVAL;
If __SO_LEVEL_MATCH(optname, level) evaluated to false (e.g. if the caller
passed a mismatched level), the length check optlen != __SO_SIZE(optname)
was short-circuited and bypassed. Execution then fell through to switch(optname),
calling copy_from_sockptr() assuming optval contained sufficient space.
Furthermore, even if level matched, a cgroup BPF setsockopt filter c
sctp: clear control chunk transport if it is being removed
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: clear control chunk transport if it is being removed
sctp_make_heartbeat_ack() caches the destination transport in
chunk->transport without taking a reference. When src_out_of_asoc_ok is
enabled, the HEARTBEAT ACK may remain queued on control_chunk_list instead
of being transmitted immediately.
If the peer transport is removed while the chunk is still queued,
sctp_assoc_rm_peer() drops the transport and schedules it for RCU freeing,
but only clears cached transport pointers in out_chunk_list. The queued
control chunk therefore retains a dangling transport pointer.
watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: prevent timer rearm during teardown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: prevent timer rearm during teardown
at91_ping() rearms the watchdog timer from its callback. timer_delete()
neither waits for a running callback nor prevents it from rearming the
timer, so probe failure or driver removal can leave the timer accessing the
devm-allocated at91wdt after it has been freed.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() on both teardown paths. It waits for a running
callback and rejects any attempt by the callback to rearm the timer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (ltc4282) Clamp negative current limits
When a negative value is passed to ltc4282_write_curr(), the signed long
val is cast directly to u64:
drivers/hwmon/ltc4282.c:ltc4282_write_curr() {
/* need to pass it in millivolt */
u32 in = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL((u64)val * st->rsense, DECA * MICRO);
...
}
This cast converts negative inputs into large positive values. The
subsequent division result overflows the u32 in variable, truncating
to a pseudo-random positive value. When this is passed to
ltc4282_write_voltage_byte(), it is clamped to the max
net: tap: set skb->dev before parsing virtio net header in tap_get_user_xdp()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tap: set skb->dev before parsing virtio net header in tap_get_user_xdp()
The commit 4f61f133f354 ("net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in
dev_parse_header_protocol when skb->dev is null") fixed a crash in
tap_get_user() by assigning skb->dev before calling tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb().
This is required because virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() may invoke
dev_parse_header_protocol(), which dereferences skb->dev. Without the
assignment, a NULL pointer dereference can occur.
However, tap_get_user_xdp() still parses the virtio-net header before
assigning skb->dev. When the vhost TX path pass
Input: evdev - sanitize event type index when fetching event masks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: evdev - sanitize event type index when fetching event masks
The user-supplied event type index passed to EVIOCGMASK / EVIOCSMASK
ioctls is used to index the static counts array in evdev_get_mask_cnt()
and client evmasks array in evdev_get_mask().
While the event type is architecturally bounded by EV_CNT, speculative
execution may mispredict bounds checks and perform out-of-bounds loads.
Sanitize the event type index in evdev_get_mask_cnt() branchlessly using
array_index_mask_nospec(). This clamps the index to 0 for safe array
access and forces the returned count to
ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write on Type II inbound URBs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write on Type II inbound URBs
data_ep_set_params() sizes each URB transfer buffer before it adds the
Format Type II transfer delimiter:
u->packets = urb_packs;
u->buffer_size = maxsize * u->packets;
if (fmt->fmt_type == UAC_FORMAT_TYPE_II)
u->packets++; /* for transfer delimiter */
u->urb = usb_alloc_urb(u->packets, GFP_KERNEL);
buffer_size is computed from the pre-increment packet count and never
recomputed, so for a Type II endpoint the buffer is one packet short of
the packet count the URB is built with.
prepare_inbound_urb() then lays
usb: atm: cxacru: properly kill rcv_urb on error in cxacru_cm()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: atm: cxacru: properly kill rcv_urb on error in cxacru_cm()
If cxacru_cm() encounters an error while submitting or waiting for snd_urb,
it aborts and returns the error without killing the already submitted
rcv_urb. This leaves the rcv_urb active.
When this happens during initialization (e.g., in cxacru_atm_start()), the
driver may ignore the error and proceed to call cxacru_poll_status(), which
invokes cxacru_cm() again. Attempting to submit the still-active rcv_urb
triggers a warning in usb_submit_urb():
cxacru 1-1:1.0: send of cm 0x84 failed (-104)

usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index
The variable ndp_index is declared as a signed integer, but it stores
the return value of get_ncm(), which is unsigned.
A malicious host can supply a large offset that overflows the signed
ndp_index, making it negative. Because ndp_index is compared against
unsigned bounds, this negative value bypasses sanity checks and leads
to an out-of-bounds read when calculating the address of the NDP
block (ntb_ptr + ndp_index).
Fix this by changing ndp_index to unsigned int to ensure consistent
unsigned comparisons throughout the f
net: usb: ax88179_178a: fix skb leak in ax88179_tx_fixup()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: ax88179_178a: fix skb leak in ax88179_tx_fixup()
When the interface has NETIF_F_SG enabled and skb_linearize() fails in
ax88179_tx_fixup(), the function returns NULL without freeing the skb.
usbnet_start_xmit() treats a NULL return from tx_fixup() as a drop
(info->flags does not set FLAG_MULTI_PACKET for this driver), jumping
to the "drop" label where it does `if (skb) dev_kfree_skb_any(skb)`.
Because tx_fixup() returned NULL, the local skb variable in
usbnet_start_xmit() is NULL, so the original skb is never freed — a
memory leak on every TX frame whose lineariz
net: usb: ipheth: fix carrier_work UAF on disconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: ipheth: fix carrier_work UAF on disconnect
ipheth_sndbulk_callback() re-arms the carrier-check work on any
non-zero URB status:
else
schedule_delayed_work(&dev->carrier_work, 0);
Nothing ties that to the interface being up, so the work can be armed
again after ipheth_close() has already drained it, and stay armed
until the netdev whose private area embeds it is freed.
On unplug with a TX URB in flight, ipheth_disconnect() drains the work
through unregister_netdev() -> ipheth_close() ->
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and only then calls ipheth_kill_urbs().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: add permission check for KDSKBMETA ioctl
KDSKBMETA modifies keyboard meta mode but lacks the !perm check that all
other keyboard setter ioctls in vt_k_ioctl() enforce, allowing a process
to change meta mode on a non-controlling console without authorization.
vt: stabilize tty reference in kbd_keycode with tty_port_tty_get
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: stabilize tty reference in kbd_keycode with tty_port_tty_get
kbd_keycode() reads vc->port.tty without acquiring a tty reference,
racing against con_shutdown() which clears port.tty under a different
lock. Use tty_port_tty_get()/tty_kref_put() to hold a proper reference
for the duration the tty pointer is needed.
Input: evdev - fix information leak in evdev_pass_values()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: evdev - fix information leak in evdev_pass_values()
In evdev_pass_values(), the input_event structure is allocated on the
kernel stack and populated field-by-field. However, it is never fully
initialized. On architectures where struct input_event contains explicit
or implicit padding (such as the 32-bit __pad field on SPARC64), these
padding bytes are left uninitialized.
When this event structure is subsequently passed to the client buffer
and later copied to userspace, the uninitialized padding bytes leak
kernel stack memory, potentially exposing sensitive informat

Kernel page table walkers fall into two broad categories - those ranges
where no exclusion is required via walk_kernel_page_table_range_lockless()
and those where exclusion is required via walk_kernel_page_table_range()
or walk_page_range_debug().
The former category is used only by arm64 arch code operating on ranges it
both wholly owns and does not concurrently write.
The latter category consists of kernel page table w
