ext4: fix out-of-bounds read in ext4_read_inline_dir()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix out-of-bounds read in ext4_read_inline_dir()
ext4_read_inline_dir() can read a dirent header past the end of its inline
buffer, triggering a slab-out-of-bounds read during getdents64():

The dirent payload lives in a buffer of exactly inline_size bytes:

fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid init
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid init
ntfs_reparse_init() and ntfs_objid_init() parse the index root of the
$Extend/$Reparse and $Extend/$ObjId metafiles (the INDEX_ROOT attributes
named $R and $O). They read its type and rule fields through
resident_data(), which does not check that the resident attribute is
large enough to hold them.
mi_enum_attr() accepts a resident attribute with data_off == asize and
data_size == 0. For such an attribute placed last in its MFT record,
resident_data() returns a pointer to the end of the record_size buffer
SUNRPC: check rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() return value in rpcb_register_inet4/6
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: check rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() return value in rpcb_register_inet4/6
rpcb_register_inet4() and rpcb_register_inet6() store the result of
rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() into map->r_addr without checking it for NULL.
rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() returns NULL when its final kstrdup() fails, and
the unchecked NULL is then carried into the synchronous RPCBPROC_SET
encode path: rpcb_register_call() -> rpc_call_sync() ->
rpcb_enc_getaddr() -> encode_rpcb_string(), whose first statement is
strlen(string), dereferencing NULL and oopsing the kernel.
The crash reproduces under failslab on v6.12; w
xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
The depth check in xfrm6_input_addr() is off by one:
if (1 + sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH)
goto drop;
...
sp->xvec[sp->len++] = x;
xfrm_input() can leave sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH, and the transport-mode
receive path re-enters IPv6 input via xfrm_trans_reinject() with that
secpath preserved. If the inner packet carries a destination-options HAO
option or a type-2 routing header, xfrm6_input_addr() is called with
sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH; the check (1 + 6 == 6) is false, so
sp->xvec[sp-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entries
During $LogFile replay, log_replay() indexes the transaction table by the
transact_id taken from the log record header. check_log_rec() only
verifies that transact_id is non-zero and properly aligned, not its
magnitude, so a crafted image can request an arbitrarily large index.
alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() grows the table to cover that index via
extend_rsttbl(), which passes the new entry count to init_rsttbl():
rt = init_rsttbl(esize, used + add);
used + add is computed as u32 but init_rsttbl() takes a u16, and t
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()
read_log_rec_buf() copies a log record into a caller buffer starting at
u32 off = lsn_to_page_off(log, lsn) + log->record_header_len;
log->record_header_len (and log->data_off, used for the following pages)
comes verbatim from the on-disk restart area and is only checked for
8-byte alignment in is_rst_area_valid(), so off can exceed
log->page_size. "tail = log->page_size - off" then underflows and
memcpy() reads past the page_size-sized buffer returned by
read_log_page(), spilling adjacent slab memory into the replay
net: qualcomm: rmnet: restore skb->dev on deaggregated frames
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qualcomm: rmnet: restore skb->dev on deaggregated frames
rmnet_map_deaggregate() allocates each sub-frame with alloc_skb() and
leaves skb->dev NULL. __rmnet_map_ingress_handler() assigns
skb->dev = ep->egress_dev only on the data path, but a MAP command frame
is dispatched to rmnet_map_command() before that, so rmnet_map_send_ack()
runs netif_tx_lock(skb->dev) on a NULL device. An unprivileged user
reaches this by unsharing a user+net namespace, creating an rmnet link
over a tap device with INGRESS_DEAGGREGATION and INGRESS_MAP_COMMANDS,
and writing an aggregated frame
fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
When an EA record has a non-zero ef->size, ntfs_read_ea() only checks
that the record fits in the remaining buffer (ea_size > bytes), not that
ef->size is large enough to hold the record's own name_len + 1 + elength.
A crafted image can pass validation with, e.g., ef->size = 24 but
elength = 0xffff. ntfs_get_ea() then trusts elength and copies it out of
the undersized record, reading past the kmalloc(info->size) allocation
and leaking heap memory to userspace via getxattr():

isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block
zisofs_uncompress_block()'s empty-block fast path returns
pcount << PAGE_SHIFT, ignoring the incoming poffset, unlike the
decompression path which returns bytes produced relative to poffset.
zisofs_fill_pages() uses that return to advance its page cursor, so when
the zisofs block size is below PAGE_SIZE and a sub-page block leaves
poffset partway into a page, a following empty block over-counts and
advances pages[] one element past its end, after which
"if (poffset && *pages)" reads pages[1] out of bounds. ro
vfio/pci: clear vdev->msi_perm after freeing it on init failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: clear vdev->msi_perm after freeing it on init failure
vfio_msi_cap_len() lazily allocates the per-device MSI permission table:
vdev->msi_perm = kmalloc_obj(struct perm_bits, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
if (!vdev->msi_perm)
return -ENOMEM;
ret = init_pci_cap_msi_perm(vdev->msi_perm, len, flags);
if (ret) {
kfree(vdev->msi_perm);
return ret; /* vdev->msi_perm left dangling */
}
When init_pci_cap_msi_perm() -> alloc_perm_bits() fails with -ENOMEM, the
error path frees vdev->msi_perm but leaves the freed pointer stored in
it. vdev->msi_perm is not re-zeroed la

timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace
On native sparc64, struct __kernel_old_timeval contains a four-byte hole
after tv_usec because tv_sec is 64-bit while __kernel_suseconds_t is 32-bit.
put_itimerval() fills only the named fields in a stack-allocated
__kernel_old_itimerval and copies the entire object to userspace, so
getitimer() can expose the two padding holes.
Zero-initialize the aggregate before assigning the fields so implicit
padding is deterministic before it crosses the user/kernel boundary.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KEYS: trusted: Fix TPM teardown ordering
trusted_tpm_exit() drops the TPM chip reference and frees the digest
array before unregistering the trusted key type. key_type_lookup()
holds key_types_sem for reading until the key operation finishes, while
unregister_key_type() takes it for writing. It therefore provides the
synchronization point that must precede backend teardown.
The current order permits this interleaving:
CPU 0 CPU 1
trusted_tpm_exit() key_type_lookup("trusted")

apparmor: fix cred UAF caused by begin_current_label_crit_section()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix cred UAF caused by begin_current_label_crit_section()
AppArmor's begin_current_label_crit_section() is a scary function called
from lots of LSM hooks (in particular VFS/socket-related ones) that checks
if the label referenced by the current creds is marked FLAG_STALE, and if
so, attempts to use aa_replace_current_label() to replace the creds with an
updated version that uses a new label.
The first problem with this is that it would directly lead to UAF of
`struct cred` if anything in the kernel takes a pointer to the current
creds and accesses these past a se
apparmor: fix out-of-bounds write when null terminating a label vec
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix out-of-bounds write when null terminating a label vec
aa_vec_unique() null terminates at vec[n - dups] when VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE
is passed. If the components are all distinct no duplicates are dropped,
dups is 0 and the terminator goes to vec[n], so the caller has to provide
room for n + 1 entries.
aa_label_strn_parse() sets up its vector with vec_setup(profile, vec, len,
gfp) and then calls aa_vec_unique(vec, len, VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE), but
vec_setup() does not reserve the terminator entry. Up to LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES
it uses the local array of LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES poi
mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task stacks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task stacks
Patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task", v3.
kmemleak_scan() scans every task stack under one rcu_read_lock() with no
reschedule point, which can trip the soft lockup watchdog on hosts with
very many threads.
That prints the following message, depending on the workload+host
configuration:

mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch()
migrate_pages_batch() unmaps each folio before moving it, and every
unmap runs the mmu_notifier invalidate callbacks. On KVM hosts
try_to_migrate() ends up in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
tdp_mmu_zap_leafs(), which is expensive, so unmapping a large batch keeps
the CPU busy for a long time.
The loop already calls cond_resched(), but on PREEMPTION kernels that is
a no-op, and involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent state.
A long batch therefore never reports a quiescent stat

mm: memcg: stop reclaim when a limit update is superseded
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: memcg: stop reclaim when a limit update is superseded
kernfs serializes file operations only per open file, so separate open
files can update the same memory.high or memory.max file concurrently.
Both handlers store the new limit before synchronous reclaim, but continue
to use the writer's local target in the reclaim loop. If another writer
raises or removes the limit, the first writer can continue reclaiming
toward a stale target.
For memory.max, this can leave the writer looping indefinitely once
reclaim retries are exhausted. The OOM path sees sufficient margin u
tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()
event_test_stuff() calls kthread_run() and unconditionally passes the
returned task_struct pointer to kthread_stop(). kthread_run() returns an
error pointer such as ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) when kthread creation fails, for
example under memory pressure during the boot-time event self-test.
kthread_stop() then dereferences the invalid pointer, crashing the kernel.
Check the result of kthread_run() before passing it to kthread_stop(). Use
WARN_ON() so that a failure to create the self-test thread does not go
unnoticed, matching th
