smb: client: Fix use-after-free in cifs_try_adding_channels()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: Fix use-after-free in cifs_try_adding_channels()
cifs_try_adding_channels() takes a temporary reference to an interface
before dropping iface_lock. If cifs_ses_add_channel() fails, it drops
that reference and then increments iface->weight_fulfilled.
A concurrent interface list refresh can remove the list reference while
channel creation is in progress. In that case, the failure-path
kref_put() releases the last reference and frees iface. Updating
weight_fulfilled afterward then accesses freed memory.
Increment weight_fulfilled before dropping the temporary re
KVM: SVM: Serialize accesses to the owner and mirror list with separate lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Serialize accesses to the owner and mirror list with separate lock
Interaction between KVM_CAP_VM_MOVE_ENC_CONTEXT_FROM and
KVM_CAP_VM_COPY_ENC_CONTEXT_FROM can cause two separate issues:
- in sev_migrate_from(), when the destination KVM is a mirror, the mirror
entry is moved from the source's list to the owner's mirror_vms list,
without holding the owner's lock unlike other writers of the owner's
mirror list (sev_vm_copy_enc_context_from(), sev_vm_destroy()).
A concurrent COPY or destroy can race with sev_migrate_from() and
corrupt the list.

eventfs: Fix use-after-free in eventfs_remove_rec()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventfs: Fix use-after-free in eventfs_remove_rec()
eventfs_remove_rec() recursively removes the child at the current loop
position. After the recursive call returns, list_for_each_entry() advances
by reading list.next from the removed child.
If free_ei() drops the final reference, release_ei() reuses the list/rcu
union to queue an SRCU callback. The child may be freed before that read.
The eventfs_mutex serializes list updates, but it does not keep the removed
child alive or prevent the SRCU callback from running.
Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to save the next sibling b
eventfs: Use children field for rcu head and add memory barriers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventfs: Use children field for rcu head and add memory barriers
When an eventfs inode is freed, it sets ei->is_freed and then uses its
ei->list to add it to the srcu link list as the list field is a union with
the rcu list head. As the ei->list is used to iterate over an SRCU
protected list without taking the eventfs_mutex, there's nothing stopping
the iteration over that list to see the ei->rcu instead of the ei->list
and it will read a corrupt target.
To fix this, change the union of the rcu list head with the children list.
On freeing the eventfs inode, set the is_free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "thermal/drivers/hwmon: Cleanup coding style a bit"
Revert commit 030a48b0f6ce ("thermal/drivers/hwmon: Cleanup coding style

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptp: ocp: Fix board ID over-read
The EEPROM board ID is a fixed 13-byte field and is not guaranteed to
contain a NUL terminator. Passing it directly to
devlink_info_version_fixed_put() treats it as a C string and may read
beyond the field.
Format at most OCP_BOARD_ID_LEN bytes into the existing local buffer
before reporting the ID. Use a precision limit because the snprintf()
output size alone does not bound the source string scan.
ring-buffer: Initialise reader page order in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Initialise reader page order in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer()
In rb_allocate_cpu_buffer(), bpage->order was omitted, leaving it as 0.
This is an issue for a ring-buffer with subbufs bigger than PAGE_SIZE if
when freed: free_buffer_page() relies on this value. Align the value
with the actual allocation size (buffer::subbuf_order).
ring-buffer: Use current_context for safe per-CPU buffer swap
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Use current_context for safe per-CPU buffer swap
The ring_buffer_swap_cpu() function currently checks the per-CPU
committing counter to determine if a buffer is actively being written to
before performing the swap. However, there exists a race window where
this check can be bypassed:
ring_buffer_lock_reserve
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // cpu_buffer_a
rb_reserve_next_event
rb_start_commit // inc committing
if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer) != buffer)) {...}

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_table_check: skip special zero mappings
page_table_check_set() and page_table_check_clear() account mappings based
on PageAnon(). Shared zero-page PTEs and huge zero PMDs are special
mappings, but page_table_check can still account them as file-backed
pages.
An unprivileged process can populate enough zero mappings to overflow
file_map_count and hit the existing BUG_ON(). The PTE path can do this
with the shared zero page, and the PMD path can do the same with huge zero
mappings.
Skip special zero mappings in the user page-table accounting paths. Keep

mm/ptdump: always stabilise against page table freeing using init_mm
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/ptdump: always stabilise against page table freeing using init_mm
Previous commits have established the invariant that kernel page table
freeing is performed while an mmap read lock on init_mm is held, which
fixes races between ptdump and kernel page table freeing over init_mm.
However, x86 and arm64 can perform a ptdump over an mm other than init_mm
via ptdump_walk_pgd() and since kernel memory ranges are shared across
non-kernel mm's, this means that the race still exists for these cases.
Fix this by acquiring a nested mmap write lock for init_mm in
ptdump_walk_pgd()
ipv6: fix Route Information option length validation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix Route Information option length validation
rt6_route_rcv() validates the Route Information option (RFC 4191) length
against the prefix length, but both checks are off by one.
rinfo->length is the ND option length in units of 8 octets and it
*includes* the 8-byte option header, so an option carrying N bytes of
prefix has length == 1 + N/8. RFC 4191 section 2.3 requires length 3
when Prefix Length is greater than 64, and 2 or 3 when it is greater
than 0. The code accepts length >= 2 and length >= 1 respectively.
ipv6_addr_prefix() then copies prefix_len/8 bytes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6_tunnel: clear skb2->cb[] in ip6ip6_err()
ip6ip6_err() clones an outer IPv6 ICMP error skb, pulls it to the
quoted inner IPv6 packet, and then passes the clone to icmpv6_send().
The clone still carries the outer packet's inet6_skb_parm in skb->cb.
If the outer packet had a Home Address Option, IP6CB(skb2)->dsthao
remains non-zero after skb_pull(). icmpv6_send() later calls
mip6_addr_swap(), which uses that stale dsthao offset against the quoted
inner packet. A malformed inner destination-options header can then make
the HAO lookup and address swap run past the end of th
fscrypt: use the mount idmap for the owner check in fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscrypt: use the mount idmap for the owner check in fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy()
fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy() calls inode_owner_or_capable() with
&nop_mnt_idmap before allowing an encryption policy to be set, instead
of the idmap of the mount the ioctl was issued on.
fscrypt is used by filesystems that support idmapped mounts (e.g. ext4,
f2fs), so on such a mount this compares the caller's fsuid against the
unmapped on-disk owner rather than the mapped owner: the actual owner
can be wrongly denied with -EACCES and an unrelated caller wrongly
allowed. Use file_mnt_idmap(filp)
sched/psi: Shut down rtpoll_timer in psi_cgroup_free()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/psi: Shut down rtpoll_timer in psi_cgroup_free()
psi_schedule_rtpoll_work() is called locklessly from the scheduler hotpath
and can race psi_trigger_destroy() taking down the last rtpoll trigger under
rtpoll_trigger_lock:
psi_schedule_rtpoll_work() psi_trigger_destroy()

ima: Instantiate file_truncate and path_truncate hooks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: Instantiate file_truncate and path_truncate hooks
Instantiate the file_truncate and path_truncate LSM hooks to reset the
action cache flags (IMA_DONE_MASK) as soon as truncation is requested,
so the file, based on policy, is re-collected, re-measured, re-audited,
and re-appraised on next access.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsverity: Fix bpf_get_fsverity_digest() dynptr assumptions
The BPF verifier and the dynptr abstraction ensure that the memory space
referenced by a dynptr remains valid. They do not, however, provide any
guarantee that the contents of the memory are stable. kfuncs are
expected to remain memory-safe even if concurrent modifications occur.
bpf_get_fsverity_digest() didn't follow that: it could crash if
arg->digest_size was concurrently modified.
Fix that by using the known-good value hash_alg->digest_size instead.
Also widen 'dynptr_sz' and 'out_digest_sz' to u64 to matc
bpf, sockmap: Fix sk_redir use-after-free in send verdict
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Fix sk_redir use-after-free in send verdict
sk_psock_msg_verdict() takes a socket reference for psock->sk_redir.
tcp_bpf_send_verdict() copies that pointer while holding the source socket
lock, but does not take a reference for the local copy before dropping the
lock around tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir().
When apply_bytes keeps the cached verdict active, another sendmsg() on the
same source socket can consume the remaining bytes and release the cached
reference while the first thread still holds only the raw local pointer:

sctp: keep chunk->transport in step with the list it is queued on
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: keep chunk->transport in step with the list it is queued on
__sctp_outq_flush_rtx() moves a gap-acked chunk onto another transport's
transmitted list without updating chunk->transport:
if (chunk->tsn_gap_acked) {
list_move_tail(&chunk->transmitted_list,
&transport->transmitted);
continue;
}
The chunk then sits on a live transport's list while chunk->transport still
names a different one. If that transport is removed - sctp_assoc_rm_peer()
from an ASCONF Delete-IP - sctp_transport_free() RCU-frees it and the chunk
is left with a dangling pointer. sc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix use-after-free of cached ASCONF chunk
addip_last_asconf caches the outstanding outbound ASCONF chunk. The normal
ASCONF-ACK completion path releases the chunk and clears the pointer.
However, sctp_asconf_queue_teardown() releases the cached chunk without
clearing addip_last_asconf. During peer restart handling,
sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a() queues SCTP_CMD_PURGE_ASCONF_QUEUE, which invokes
sctp_asconf_queue_teardown() while the association remains alive and leaves
the pointer dangling.
A delayed authenticated ASCONF-ACK can then reach sctp_sf_do_asconf_ack(),
which acc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: clear new_transport when removing a peer
sctp_process_asconf_param() stores a newly added peer transport in
asoc->new_transport. After all parameters in the ASCONF chunk have been
processed, sctp_sf_do_asconf() uses this pointer to send a HEARTBEAT to the
new transport.
An authenticated ASCONF from a remote SCTP peer can add a transport and
remove it again with a wildcard DEL-IP parameter in the same chunk. The
wildcard deletion preserves the transport on which the ASCONF arrived, but
removes the newly added transport through
sctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(). The re
