In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware_loader: Block path traversal
Most firmware names are hardcoded strings, or are constructed from fairly
constrained format strings where the dynamic parts are just some hex
numbers or such.
However, there are a couple codepaths in the kernel where firmware file
names contain string components that are passed through from a device or
semi-privileged userspace; the ones I could find (not counting interfaces
that require root privileges) are:
- lpfc_sli4_request_firmware_update() seems to construct the firmware
filename from "ModelName", a string that was previou
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: Require FMODE_WRITE for atomic write ioctls
The F2FS ioctls for starting and committing atomic writes check for
inode_owner_or_capable(), but this does not give LSMs like SELinux or
Landlock an opportunity to deny the write access - if the caller's FSUID
matches the inode's UID, inode_owner_or_capable() immediately returns true.
There are scenarios where LSMs want to deny a process the ability to write
particular files, even files that the FSUID of the process owns; but this
can currently partially be bypassed using atomic write ioctls in two ways:
- F2FS_IOC_START
nfsd: call cache_put if xdr_reserve_space returns NULL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: call cache_put if xdr_reserve_space returns NULL
If not enough buffer space available, but idmap_lookup has triggered
lookup_fn which calls cache_get and returns successfully. Then we
missed to call cache_put here which pairs with cache_get.

jfs: fix out-of-bounds in dbNextAG() and diAlloc()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix out-of-bounds in dbNextAG() and diAlloc()
In dbNextAG() , there is no check for the case where bmp->db_numag is
greater or same than MAXAG due to a polluted image, which causes an
out-of-bounds. Therefore, a bounds check should be added in dbMount().
And in dbNextAG(), a check for the case where agpref is greater than
bmp->db_numag should be added, so an out-of-bounds exception should be
prevented.
Additionally, a check for the case where agno is greater or same than
MAXAG should be added in diAlloc() to prevent out-of-bounds.

wifi: wilc1000: fix potential RCU dereference issue in wilc_parse_join_bss_param
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wilc1000: fix potential RCU dereference issue in wilc_parse_join_bss_param
In the `wilc_parse_join_bss_param` function, the TSF field of the `ies`
structure is accessed after the RCU read-side critical section is
unlocked. According to RCU usage rules, this is illegal. Reusing this
pointer can lead to unpredictable behavior, including accessing memory
that has been updated or causing use-after-free issues.
This possible bug was identified using a static analysis tool developed
by myself, specifically designed to detect RCU-related issues.
To address this, the TSF va

can: bcm: Clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: Clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry().
syzbot reported a warning in bcm_release(). [0]
The blamed change fixed another warning that is triggered when
connect() is issued again for a socket whose connect()ed device has
been unregistered.
However, if the socket is just close()d without the 2nd connect(), the
remaining bo->bcm_proc_read triggers unnecessary remove_proc_entry()
in bcm_release().
Let's clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry() in bcm_notify().

When looking up for an entry in an inlined directory, if e_value_offs is

will lead to an out-of-bounds access that KASAN detects as an UAF.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential null-ptr-deref in nilfs_btree_insert()
Patch series "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes".
This series addresses three potential issues with empty b-tree nodes that
can occur with corrupted filesystem images, including one recently
discovered by syzbot.
This patch (of 3):
If a b-tree is broken on the device, and the b-tree height is greater than
2 (the level of the root node is greater than 1) even if the number of
child nodes of the b-tree root is 0, a NULL pointer dereference occurs in

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: media: dvb-frontends/rtl2832: fix an out-of-bounds write error
Ensure index in rtl2832_pid_filter does not exceed 31 to prevent
out-of-bounds access.
dev->filters is a 32-bit value, so set_bit and clear_bit functions should
only operate on indices from 0 to 31. If index is 32, it will attempt to
access a non-existent 33rd bit, leading to out-of-bounds access.
Change the boundary check from index > 32 to index >= 32 to resolve this

RDMA/iwcm: Fix WARNING:at_kernel/workqueue.c:#check_flush_dependency
In the commit aee2424246f9 ("RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use-after-free related to

work queue iwcm_wq.
But at that time, the work queue iwcm_wq was created via the function
alloc_ordered_workqueue without the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
Because the current process is trying to flush the whole iwcm_wq, if
iwcm_wq doesn't have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, verify that the current
process is not reclaiming memory or running on a workqueue which doesn't

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: return -EINVAL when namelen is 0
When we have a corrupted main.sqlite in /var/lib/nfs/nfsdcld/, it may
result in namelen being 0, which will cause memdup_user() to return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR.
When we access the name.data that has been assigned the value of
ZERO_SIZE_PTR in nfs4_client_to_reclaim(), null pointer dereference is
triggered.

Hi, all
Recently I noticed a bug[1] in btrfs, after digged it into

Let's assume there's a inode (ie ino 261) with i_count 1 is
called by iput(), and there's a concurrent thread calling
