staging: iio: frequency: ad9832: fix division by zero in ad9832_calc_freqreg()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: iio: frequency: ad9832: fix division by zero in ad9832_calc_freqreg()
In the ad9832_write_frequency() function, clk_get_rate() might return 0.
This can lead to a division by zero when calling ad9832_calc_freqreg().
The check if (fout > (clk_get_rate(st->mclk) / 2)) does not protect
against the case when fout is 0. The ad9832_write_frequency() function
is called from ad9832_write(), and fout is derived from a text buffer,
which can contain any value.
nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of checked flag
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of checked flag
Syzbot reported that in directory operations after nilfs2 detects
filesystem corruption and degrades to read-only,
__block_write_begin_int(), which is called to prepare block writes, may
fail the BUG_ON check for accesses exceeding the folio/page size,
triggering a kernel bug.
This was found to be because the "checked" flag of a page/folio was not
cleared when it was discarded by nilfs2's own routine, which causes the
sanity check of directory entries to be skipped when the directory
page/folio is reloaded. So
nilfs2: fix potential deadlock with newly created symlinks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential deadlock with newly created symlinks
Syzbot reported that page_symlink(), called by nilfs_symlink(), triggers
memory reclamation involving the filesystem layer, which can result in
circular lock dependencies among the reader/writer semaphore
nilfs->ns_segctor_sem, s_writers percpu_rwsem (intwrite) and the
fs_reclaim pseudo lock.
This is because after commit 21fc61c73c39 ("don't put symlink bodies in
pagecache into highmem"), the gfp flags of the page cache for symbolic
links are overwritten to GFP_KERNEL via inode_nohighmem().
This is not a problem f
ocfs2: pass u64 to ocfs2_truncate_inline maybe overflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: pass u64 to ocfs2_truncate_inline maybe overflow
Syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_truncate_inline. There are two
reasons for this: first, the parameter value passed is greater than
ocfs2_max_inline_data_with_xattr, second, the start and end parameters of
ocfs2_truncate_inline are "unsigned int".
So, we need to add a sanity check for byte_start and byte_len right before
ocfs2_truncate_inline() in ocfs2_remove_inode_range(), if they are greater
than ocfs2_max_inline_data_with_xattr return -EINVAL.
ALSA: firewire-lib: Avoid division by zero in apply_constraint_to_size()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: firewire-lib: Avoid division by zero in apply_constraint_to_size()
The step variable is initialized to zero. It is changed in the loop,
but if it's not changed it will remain zero. Add a variable check
before the division.
The observed behavior was introduced by commit 826b5de90c0b
("ALSA: firewire-lib: fix insufficient PCM rule for period/buffer size"),
and it is difficult to show that any of the interval parameters will
satisfy the snd_interval_test() condition with data from the
amdtp_rate_table[] table.

nilfs2: propagate directory read errors from nilfs_find_entry()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: propagate directory read errors from nilfs_find_entry()
Syzbot reported that a task hang occurs in vcs_open() during a fuzzing
test for nilfs2.
The root cause of this problem is that in nilfs_find_entry(), which
searches for directory entries, ignores errors when loading a directory
page/folio via nilfs_get_folio() fails.
If the filesystem images is corrupted, and the i_size of the directory
inode is large, and the directory page/folio is successfully read but
fails the sanity check, for example when it is zero-filled,
nilfs_check_folio() may continue to spit out
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma
I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff. The
problem can be reproduced by the following steps:
1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory.
2. Swapout the above anonymous memory.
3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message:
mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7)
We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in
unuse_pud_range() by ftrace. And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never
be freed because we
posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64 check in pc_clock_settime()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64 check in pc_clock_settime()
As Andrew pointed out, it will make sense that the PTP core
checked timespec64 struct's tv_sec and tv_nsec range before calling
ptp->info->settime64().
As the man manual of clock_settime() said, if tp.tv_sec is negative or
tp.tv_nsec is outside the range [0..999,999,999], it should return EINVAL,
which include dynamic clocks which handles PTP clock, and the condition is
consistent with timespec64_valid(). As Thomas suggested, timespec64_valid()
only check the timespec is valid, but not ensure that the time is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: probes: Fix uprobes for big-endian kernels
The arm64 uprobes code is broken for big-endian kernels as it doesn't
convert the in-memory instruction encoding (which is always
little-endian) into the kernel's native endianness before analyzing and
simulating instructions. This may result in a few distinct problems:
* The kernel may may erroneously reject probing an instruction which can
safely be probed.
* The kernel may erroneously erroneously permit stepping an
instruction out-of-line when that instruction cannot be stepped
out-of-line safely.
* The kernel ma
virtio_pmem: Check device status before requesting flush
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_pmem: Check device status before requesting flush
If a pmem device is in a bad status, the driver side could wait for
host ack forever in virtio_pmem_flush(), causing the system to hang.
So add a status check in the beginning of virtio_pmem_flush() to return
early if the device is not activated.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sisfb: Fix strbuf array overflow
The values of the variables xres and yres are placed in strbuf.
These variables are obtained from strbuf1.
The strbuf1 array contains digit characters
and a space if the array contains non-digit characters.
Then, when executing sprintf(strbuf, "%ux%ux8", xres, yres);
more than 16 bytes will be written to strbuf.
It is suggested to increase the size of the strbuf array to 24.

smb: client: fix OOBs when building SMB2_IOCTL request
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix OOBs when building SMB2_IOCTL request
When using encryption, either enforced by the server or when using
'seal' mount option, the client will squash all compound request buffers
down for encryption into a single iov in smb2_set_next_command().
SMB2_ioctl_init() allocates a small buffer (448 bytes) to hold the
SMB2_IOCTL request in the first iov, and if the user passes an input
buffer that is greater than 328 bytes, smb2_set_next_command() will
end up writing off the end of @rqst->iov[0].iov_base as shown below:
mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o ...,seal
usb: typec: altmode should keep reference to parent
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: altmode should keep reference to parent
The altmode device release refers to its parent device, but without keeping
a reference to it.
When registering the altmode, get a reference to the parent and put it in
the release function.

xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is unset
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is unset
This expands the validation introduced in commit 07bf7908950a ("xfrm:
Validate address prefix lengths in the xfrm selector.")
syzbot created an SA with
usersa.sel.family = AF_UNSPEC
usersa.sel.prefixlen_s = 128
usersa.family = AF_INET
Because of the AF_UNSPEC selector, verify_newsa_info doesn't put
limits on prefixlen_{s,d}. But then copy_from_user_state sets
x->sel.family to usersa.family (AF_INET). Do the same conversion in
verify_newsa_info before validating prefixlen_{s,d}, since th
