netlink: do not free nlk->groups while lockless readers can use it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: do not free nlk->groups while lockless readers can use it
netlink_realloc_groups() uses krealloc() under netlink_table_grab().
Whenever NLGRPSZ(groups) lands in a different kmalloc bucket, the old
bitmap is freed immediately.
Two readers of nlk->groups / nlk->ngroups do not hold the netlink
table lock:
1) sk_diag_dump_groups(). Hashed (bound) sockets are dumped from the
rhashtable walk in __netlink_diag_dump(), which only holds RCU.
Only the mc_list part of the dump takes nl_table_lock.
2) netlink_native_seq_show() (/proc/net/netlink), whose walk has been
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: fix use-after-free in kvmhv_emulate_tlbie_all_lpid()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: fix use-after-free in kvmhv_emulate_tlbie_all_lpid()
kvmhv_emulate_tlbie_all_lpid() iterates the nested-guest IDR and drops
mmu_lock before calling kvmhv_emulate_tlbie_lpid(), but does not hold a
reference on the kvm_nested_guest pointer obtained from the IDR. A
concurrent vCPU issuing a single-LPID tlbie (is=2, ric=2) can race
through kvmhv_flush_nested() -> kvmhv_remove_nested() -> idr_remove /
--refcnt -> kvmhv_release_nested() -> kfree(gp) in that window, leaving
the iterating vCPU with a dangling pointer. The subsequent

powerpc/iommu: Fix the overflow validation in iommu_tce_check_ioba
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/iommu: Fix the overflow validation in iommu_tce_check_ioba
The commit b1af23d836f8 ("KVM: PPC: iommu: Unify TCE checking") unified
IOBA parameter checking across KVM and VFIO into iommu_tce_check_ioba().
While doing so, the passed in argument npages is ignored and constant
value '1' is used leaving out a possible overflow as the callers can
legitimately be using npages > 1 for H_STUFF_TCE or H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT
cases.
Fix this by accounting for 'npages', checking for arithmetic overflow,
and verifying that the entire requested range (ioba - offset + npages)
does not
btrfs: handle lack of space when cleaning up verity items
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: handle lack of space when cleaning up verity items
When enable_verity() hits the qgroup limit, rollback_verity() needs its
own metadata reservation. When the qgroup limit or lack of space refuses
the rollback, the whole filesystem is forced read-only even though the
qgroup limit was for one subvolume only. Also orphan cleanup at the next
mount fails the same way, so the leftover items are never removed: with
-EDQUOT the subvolume stays unreachable, and with -ENOSPC on a full
filesystem the next read-write mount fails.
Start transactions with btrfs_start_transaction_
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: lock the socket in sock_gettstamp()
sk->sk_flags must only be changed while holding the socket lock,
because sock_set_flag() and sock_reset_flag() use non atomic
operations (__set_bit() and __clear_bit()).
sock_gettstamp() is one of the last places where a bit of sk->sk_flags
is changed from a syscall without owning the socket lock, through
sock_enable_timestamp(sk, SOCK_TIMESTAMP).
sk_set_memalloc() and sk_clear_memalloc() also change sk->sk_flags
without the socket lock, but their callers (nbd, iscsi_tcp, nvme-tcp,
sunrpc, wireguard) need a careful audit, this will
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Ack RX overrun interrupt correctly
The RX overrun interrupt is reported in interrupt status register 4, but
gmac_irq() acknowledges it using the RX descriptor error bit from status
register 0. For GMAC0 this writes the GMAC1 overrun bit, while for GMAC1
the shift leaves no bit in the 32-bit register.
Acknowledge the same per-port RX overrun bit that was detected.
x86/kprobes: Fix crash when probing CS CALL instructions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/kprobes: Fix crash when probing CS CALL instructions
When using eBPF to probe CS CALL instructions within a function,
a crash can be triggered.
The eBPF tool probes offset 257 of the __hrtimer_run_queues()

net: mvpp2: prevent buffer overflow in page_pool allocation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mvpp2: prevent buffer overflow in page_pool allocation
The per‑processor buffering scheme is supported only if the
number of pools (nrxqs * 2) does not exceed MVPP2_BM_MAX_POOLS (8).
This is already checked in mvpp2_probe() during the initial
activation of percpu_pools.
However, mvpp2_change_mtu() may later call
mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(priv, true) without this check, which can
lead to an out-of-bounds access in the priv->page_pool array in
mvpp2_bm_init(). The array is sized to hold MVPP2_PORT_MAX_RXQ
entries, and mvpp2_get_nrxqs() may return exactly that value. The

net: skbuff: do not leave stale header offsets after pskb_carve()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: skbuff: do not leave stale header offsets after pskb_carve()
pskb_carve_inside_header() and pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear() remove
the first bytes of a packet and reallocate skb->head.
All the headers that were present before the operation are gone,
but both functions call skb_headers_offset_update(skb, 0), which
is a no-op : skb->mac_header, skb->network_header,
skb->transport_header and skb->csum_start keep their old values and
now describe bytes which are no longer there.
Both helpers size the new head from the old skb_end_offset(), so the
stale offsets still land i
btrfs: abort transaction on failure to update inode for hole punching and reflinking
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: abort transaction on failure to update inode for hole punching and reflinking
If we fail to update the inode we error out without aborting the
transaction, which can result in a persistent inconsistency if after
the failure the transaction is committed, as we have dropped file
extent items from a range and either punched a hole or insert a new file
extent item for that range (for reflinks).
So add the missing transaction abort.
ALSA: core: Fix potential UAF after asynchronous card release
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: core: Fix potential UAF after asynchronous card release
Usually a sound driver releases the resources assigned to the card via
snd_card_free(), and it synchronizes with the whole release procedure.
However, when the card is released asynchronously via
snd_card_free_when_closed() like USB-audio driver, the situation is
slightly different; although the snd_card_disconnect() call at the
disconnection guarantees that any newer accesses will be gated, the
in-flight tasks might be still accessing to the underlying card->dev
device even after the disconnection, which would c
ALSA: usb-audio: Clamp implicit feedback packet count to URB capacity
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Clamp implicit feedback packet count to URB capacity
data_ep_set_params() allocates each data URB for exactly u->packets
isochronous frames, so urb->iso_frame_desc[] has u->packets slots and
ctx->packets is the driver's only record of that limit. For an implicit
feedback sink, snd_usb_queue_pending_output_urbs() overwrites it with the
sync source's packet count, which is calculated independently from the
capture endpoint's parameters. When that count is larger,
prepare_playback_urb() and prepare_silent_urb() can write
iso_frame_desc[] past the allocation; t
ALSA: virtio: reset device before deleting virtqueues
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: virtio: reset device before deleting virtqueues
virtsnd_remove() and virtsnd_freeze() delete the virtqueues before
resetting the device. del_vqs() frees the vring backing, but does not
provide a generic device quiesce operation. In particular, modern
virtio-pci keeps enabled queues active until the device is reset.
Reset the device before deleting the virtqueues so it can no longer
access the vring memory when that memory is released. This also covers
probe failures after DRIVER_OK, which unwind through virtsnd_remove().
ata: libahci: clear PxCLBU and PxFBU for AHCI_HFLAG_32BIT_ONLY
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libahci: clear PxCLBU and PxFBU for AHCI_HFLAG_32BIT_ONLY
A user reported that commit 105c42566a55 ("ata: ahci: force 32-bit DMA for
JMicron JMB582/JMB585") made the JMicron JMB585 unusable on his board.
The failure is seen as soon as the ahci driver is probed, and booting with
iommu=off does not solve the problem.
Looking at the AHCI specification, PxCLBU and PxFBU are both read only '0'
for HBAs that do not support 64-bit addressing.
For HBAs that do support 64-bit addressing, the registers are read write,
with a reset value that is Implementation Specific.

exec: Cleanup POSIX timers right after de_thread()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: Cleanup POSIX timers right after de_thread()
A per-thread CPU timer holds a reference to the PID of the thread it is
attached to and, while it is armed, its node is queued in that thread's
posix_cputimers. The task is looked up by that PID.
When a non-leader thread exec()s, de_thread() changes which task owns
that PID. pid_task(timer->it.cpu.pid, PIDTYPE_PID) then returns NULL,
but the node is still queued on tsk, which is alive. timer_lock_sighand()
takes a failed lookup to mean that the node is already dequeued, so it
has nothing to undo.

rds: ib: use rds_conn_drop() on protocol version mismatch
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: ib: use rds_conn_drop() on protocol version mismatch
rds_ib_cm_connect_complete() runs from the RDMA-CM event handler with
conn->c_cm_lock held. When the peer negotiates a protocol version
older than RDS_PROTOCOL_COMPAT_VERSION, the handler calls
rds_conn_destroy(), which is only safe in the rmmod path: it
synchronously tears the connection down and flush_work()es the
shutdown work cp_down_w.
That shutdown work (rds_conn_shutdown()) needs cp_cm_lock, which is
the very lock the event handler still holds, so the flush never
completes: the two workers wait on each other
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: exclude old ACKs from tcp fast path
Exclude old ACKs before SND.UNA from the tcp fast path
as well as ACKs after SND.NXT.
Such ACKs will fall through to the slow path, where tcp_ack()
performs the appropriate validation and challenge ACK handling
according to RFC5961 and Commit 3d501dd326fb1c7 ("tcp: do not
accept ACK of bytes we never sent").
This prevents old ACKs from being accepted
or modifying connection state as part of the fast path before
appropriate ACK validation is applied.
In particular, this prevents payload carried by a segment with
an excessively old A
swiotlb: use the adjusted address for the highmem page lookup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
swiotlb: use the adjusted address for the highmem page lookup
swiotlb_bounce() reads the page frame number from the slot's recorded
orig_addr, then advances orig_addr by tlb_offset to reach the address
the caller asked about. The highmem branch mixes the two: the offset
within the page comes from the adjusted address, the page from the value
before it.
Once the adjustment crosses a page boundary the pair no longer describes
one location, and the whole copy lands one page below the intended one
for a positive tlb_offset, one above for a negative one. DMA_FROM_DEVICE

RDMA/ucma: Serialize join and leave on copy_to_user failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ucma: Serialize join and leave on copy_to_user failure
rdma_join_multicast() queues RoCE work that later reads the ucma_multicast
through event->param.ud.private_data, then list_add()s the CMA multicast
at the head of id_priv->mc_list. rdma_leave_multicast() matches only by
sockaddr and destroys the first hit.
ucma_process_join() used to drop ctx->mutex after a successful join and
retake it only if copy_to_user() failed. Two concurrent JOIN_MCAST calls
with the same address can therefore insert a second CMA entry before the
first thread's leave. leave then cancels the
RDMA/core: fix refcount bug in iwpm_get_nlmsg_request()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: fix refcount bug in iwpm_get_nlmsg_request()
iwpm_get_nlmsg_request() initializes refcount _after_ list_add_tail()
making it accessible to global list where another CPU can kref_get()
on nlmsg_request causing a refcount "addition on 0" bug. Fix this
by initializing kref _before_ list_add_tail() so refcount for
nlmsg_request can be incremented/decremented normally. In addition,
also initialize every field before list_add_tail().
