writeback: bound cleanup_offline_cgwb() rescans by rotating scanned inodes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
writeback: bound cleanup_offline_cgwb() rescans by rotating scanned inodes
cleanup_offline_cgwb() prepares at most WB_MAX_INODES_PER_ISW inodes
per call and is called again until the dying wb is drained, but every
call walks wb->b_attached and then wb->b_dirty_time from the same end.
Inodes already prepared (they stay on the list with I_WB_SWITCH set
until the switch worker runs) and inodes that cannot be switched
(I_FREEING, I_WILL_FREE, !SB_ACTIVE, DAX, already on the target wb)
stay where they are, so each pass rescans a growing run of them under
wb->list_lock and a full
workqueue: Fix NULL current_pwq deref in flush dependency check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
workqueue: Fix NULL current_pwq deref in flush dependency check
check_flush_dependency() uses current_wq_worker() to determine whether
the caller is a workqueue worker and then dereferences worker->current_pwq
to test whether the current workqueue is WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
current_wq_worker() only means that %current has PF_WQ_WORKER set. A
kworker can reach check_flush_dependency() while it is not executing a
work item. One such path is worker_thread() acting as the pool manager,
where create_worker() does GFP_KERNEL allocation and the allocation path
invokes the OOM notifier. I
writeback: report a Tasks-RCU quiescent state per cgwb drain pass
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
writeback: report a Tasks-RCU quiescent state per cgwb drain pass
cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() drains a dying cgwb by calling
cleanup_offline_cgwb() until it returns false, with a cond_resched()
between passes. On a CONFIG_PREEMPTION kernel that cond_resched() does
nothing: _cond_resched() is a plain "return 0", and under PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
the full and lazy modes disable it. Since commit 7dadeaa6e851 ("sched:
Further restrict the preemption modes") those are the only two models on
the architectures with PREEMPT_LAZY support, arm64 and x86 among them, so

fsl/fman: Fix clk reference leak in read_dts_node()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsl/fman: Fix clk reference leak in read_dts_node()
of_clk_get() returns a clock with its reference count incremented, but
read_dts_node() only uses it to read the rate and never calls clk_put().
The clock is not stored anywhere, so the reference cannot be released
later either.
Release the clock once its rate has been read, which also covers the
error path taken when the rate is zero.
ipe: fix use-after-free when auditing a newly loaded policy
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipe: fix use-after-free when auditing a newly loaded policy
new_policy() audits the policy after ipe_new_policyfs_node() publishes it
and drops the new directory's inode lock. A concurrent delete can free
the policy while ipe_audit_policy_load() is still using it.
Audit the successful load under that lock.
[FW: remove model name according to latest guideline]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipe: protect the dm-verity root hash with RCU
ipe_bdev_setintegrity() frees the old root hash when dm-verity publishes
a new one on ->preresume, while policy evaluation can still be
dereferencing it.
Protect the root hash with RCU. The evaluation path already runs under
rcu_read_lock().

ipv6: do not let ipv6_find_hdr() return an offset past the packet end
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: do not let ipv6_find_hdr() return an offset past the packet end
ipv6_find_hdr() walks the extension header chain, skipping each header by
the length that header itself declares. ipv6_optlen() returns up to 2048,
and the skip is never checked against skb->len, so the offset stored in
*offset can point past the end of the packet.
openvswitch installs that offset as the transport header, and
update_ipv6_checksum() then reads and writes the transport checksum field
out of bounds:

ipv6: sr: enforce exact attribute length for SEG6_ATTR_DST
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: sr: enforce exact attribute length for SEG6_ATTR_DST
In seg6_genl_policy, SEG6_ATTR_DST is defined with .type = NLA_BINARY and
.len = sizeof(struct in6_addr). For NLA_BINARY, .len only enforces the
maximum payload length and permits shorter payloads (e.g., 0 bytes).
When seg6_genl_set_tunsrc() copies sizeof(struct in6_addr) bytes via
kmemdup(val, sizeof(*val), GFP_KERNEL), a short SEG6_ATTR_DST attribute
triggers a 16-byte out-of-bounds read past skb->tail into uninitialized
skb->head memory, which is stored in sdata->tun_src and leaked back to
userspace via SEG6_CMD_
kprobes: Fix permanent hang when flushing the kprobe optimizer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: Fix permanent hang when flushing the kprobe optimizer
Writing 0 to /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization while a kprobe is
jump-optimized never returns. The writer sleeps in D state forever with
kprobe_sysctl_mutex held, so any later read or write of that sysctl
hangs as well. For example, with vfs_read+9 as an optimizable address
in this build:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 'p:myprobe vfs_read+9' >> kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/myprobe/enable
# # wait until /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list shows [OPTIMIZED]
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-o
gpio: arizona: Fix runtime PM leak in arizona_gpio_direction_out()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: arizona: Fix runtime PM leak in arizona_gpio_direction_out()
Switching a persistent GPIO line from input to output acquires a
runtime PM reference on the parent device, but if the subsequent
regmap_update_bits() fails the reference is never dropped and no later
direction_in() can balance it since the direction was never changed.
Drop the reference on the update failure path.
gpio: cdev: fix kernel stack leak to user-space in error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: cdev: fix kernel stack leak to user-space in error path
If we fail to acquire the GPIO chip guard in gpio_desc_to_lineinfo(), we
return immediately before zeroing the info struct we'll end up passing
to the user-space later in lineinfo_get_v1(). This may leak the kernel
stack contents. Make gpio_desc_to_lineinfo() return int so that the
-ENODEV returned on failure to acquire the guard can be propagated to
the callers.
While not strictly necessary: move the memset() before trying to acquire
the SRCU read lock too for good measure.
gpio: zynq: fix runtime PM leak on request error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: zynq: fix runtime PM leak on request error path
pm_runtime_get_sync() leaves the usage counter incremented even when it
fails, and zynq_gpio_request() returns the error without dropping it.
gpiolib does not call ->free() when ->request() fails, so zynq_gpio_free(),
which holds the only matching pm_runtime_put(), never runs. The reference
is leaked and the controller can no longer runtime-suspend, so its clock
stays enabled.
Switch to pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which only increments the usage
counter on success.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: reserve device headroom for allocated frames
llc_alloc_frame() reserves link-layer headroom using the device type.
This is insufficient for stacked Ethernet devices such as VLAN devices,
where vlan_dev_hard_header() pushes a VLAN header before the lower
device's Ethernet header. An LLC response on such a device can
therefore underflow skb headroom in eth_header().
Use LL_RESERVED_SPACE() to account for the device's actual required
headroom while preserving the existing LLC device-type check.
mctp: route: iterate socket tag list in mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mctp: route: iterate socket tag list in mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag()
When a socket transmits a packet with MCTP_TAG_PREALLOC set,
mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag() iterates over the per-netns &mns->keys list
and matches netid, req_tag, peer_addr, and manual_alloc, without
checking whether tmp->sk == &msk->sk. This allows any MCTP socket in the
same network namespace to use and consume another socket's preallocated
tag.
Iterate the socket's own tag list (&msk->keys via sklist) instead of the
namespace-wide &mns->keys list in mctp_lookup_prealloc_tag(), ensuring
that only tags alloca
rds: ib: Clear the sg list when mapping an MR fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: ib: Clear the sg list when mapping an MR fails
rds_ib_map_frmr() stores the caller's scatterlist in the MR before DMA
mapping and registration can fail. On failure, __rds_rdma_map() unpins
the pages and frees the scatterlist, but rds_ib_free_frmr() can still
return the MR to the pool with the stale pointer set.
This leaves the pool with a dangling scatterlist and can lead to local
privilege escalation. KASAN detects the resulting use-after-free when the
MR is later torn down:

Map failure from pvr_mmu_map_sgl() interface was not returned correctly

drm/i915: fix incorrect RCU teardown order
i915_gem_busy_ioctl uses dma_resv_for_each_fence_unlocked() to iterate
over the fences in an GEM object without holding a reference but only
the RCU read side lock.
What can happen here is that the GEM object is destroyed concurrently
while i915_gem_busy_ioctl is still running. This won't free the GEM
objects memory, but still drops all the dma_fence references.
Now when dma_resv_for_each_fence_unlocked() sees a destroyed dma_fence it
assumes that a new fence list was installed and re-starts the loop.
But in the case of a destro
drm/amdkfd: fix use-after-free and multi-container gap in kfd_dev_mapping
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix use-after-free and multi-container gap in kfd_dev_mapping
kfd_dev_mapping caches the address_space of the first /dev/kfd opener
so that the GPU reset path can call unmap_mapping_range() to zap all
userspace mappings of doorbell and MMIO ranges. This design has two
bugs that both manifest under SRIOV with multiple containers:
1. Use-after-free / rwsem deadlock. The cached pointer refers to an
inode owned by the first opener's container. When that container
exits and its inode is released, kfd_dev_mapping becomes a dangling
pointer. A subsequent
drm/amdgpu: Fix runtime PM leak in amdgpu_debugfs_test_ib_show()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix runtime PM leak in amdgpu_debugfs_test_ib_show()
amdgpu_debugfs_test_ib_show() resumes the device with
pm_runtime_get_sync() before taking the reset domain semaphore with
down_write_killable(). If the write lock acquisition is interrupted,
the function returns without calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(),
leaking the runtime PM reference acquired for the device and keeping
the GPU awake.
Drop the runtime PM reference on the interrupted down_write_killable()
error path before returning.
