iommu/sva: invalidate stale IOTLB entries for kernel address space
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/sva: invalidate stale IOTLB entries for kernel address space
Introduce a new IOMMU interface to flush IOTLB paging cache entries for
the CPU kernel address space. This interface is invoked from the x86
architecture code that manages combined user and kernel page tables,
specifically before any kernel page table page is freed and reused.
This addresses the main issue with vfree() which is a common occurrence
and can be triggered by unprivileged users. While this resolves the
primary problem, it doesn't address some extremely rare case related to

of: unittest: Fix memory leak in unittest_data_add()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: unittest: Fix memory leak in unittest_data_add()
In unittest_data_add(), if of_resolve_phandles() fails, the allocated
unittest_data is not freed, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by using scope-based cleanup helper __free(kfree) for automatic
resource cleanup. This ensures unittest_data is automatically freed when
it goes out of scope in error paths.
For the success path, use retain_and_null_ptr() to transfer ownership
of the memory to the device tree and prevent double freeing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: Set __nocfi on swsusp_arch_resume()
A DABT is reported[1] on an android based system when resume from hiberate.
This happens because swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() is marked with SYM_CODE_*()
and does not have a CFI hash, but swsusp_arch_resume() will attempt to
verify the CFI hash when calling a copy of swsusp_arch_suspend_exit().
Given that there's an existing requirement that the entrypoint to
swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() is the first byte of the .hibernate_exit.text
section, we cannot fix this by marking swsusp_arch_suspend_exit() with
SYM_FUNC_*(). The simplest fix f

io_uring/io-wq: check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT inside work run loop
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/io-wq: check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT inside work run loop
Currently this is checked before running the pending work. Normally this
is quite fine, as work items either end up blocking (which will create a
new worker for other items), or they complete fairly quickly. But syzbot
reports an issue where io-wq takes seemingly forever to exit, and with a
bit of debugging, this turns out to be because it queues a bunch of big
(2GB - 4096b) reads with a /dev/msr* file. Since this file type doesn't
support ->read_iter(), loop_rw_iter() ends up handling them. Each read
returns 16MB of

can: usb_8dev: usb_8dev_read_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak
Fix similar memory leak as in commit 7352e1d5932a ("can: gs_usb:
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak").
In usb_8dev_open() -> usb_8dev_start(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are
allocated, added to the priv->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the
complete callback usb_8dev_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and
resubmitted. In usb_8dev_close() -> unlink_all_urbs() the URBs are freed by
calling usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&priv->rx_submitted).
However, this does not take into account

This is more of a preventive patch to make the code more consistent and

class activation.
leds: led-class: Only Add LED to leds_list when it is fully ready
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
leds: led-class: Only Add LED to leds_list when it is fully ready
Before this change the LED was added to leds_list before led_init_core()
gets called adding it the list before led_classdev.set_brightness_work gets
initialized.
This leaves a window where led_trigger_register() of a LED's default
trigger will call led_trigger_set() which calls led_set_brightness()
which in turn will end up queueing the *uninitialized*
led_classdev.set_brightness_work.
This race gets hit by the lenovo-thinkpad-t14s EC driver which registers
2 LEDs with a default trigger provided by snd_ctl_

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netrom: fix double-free in nr_route_frame()
In nr_route_frame(), old_skb is immediately freed without checking if
nr_neigh->ax25 pointer is NULL. Therefore, if nr_neigh->ax25 is NULL,
the caller function will free old_skb again, causing a double-free bug.
Therefore, to prevent this, we need to modify it to check whether
nr_neigh->ax25 is NULL before freeing old_skb.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gue: Fix skb memleak with inner IP protocol 0.
syzbot reported skb memleak below. [0]
The repro generated a GUE packet with its inner protocol 0.
gue_udp_recv() returns -guehdr->proto_ctype for "resubmit"
in ip_protocol_deliver_rcu(), but this only works with
non-zero protocol number.
Let's drop such packets.
Note that 0 is a valid number (IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option).
I think it is not practical to encap HOPOPT in GUE, so once
someone starts to complain, we could pass down a resubmit
flag pointer to distinguish two zeros from the upper layer:
* no error
* resubmit HOP
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
intel_th: fix device leak on output open()
Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the th device

successful open().
ALSA: usb-audio: Fix use-after-free in snd_usb_mixer_free()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Fix use-after-free in snd_usb_mixer_free()
When snd_usb_create_mixer() fails, snd_usb_mixer_free() frees
mixer->id_elems but the controls already added to the card still
reference the freed memory. Later when snd_card_register() runs,
the OSS mixer layer calls their callbacks and hits a use-after-free read.

Memory allocated for struct vscsiblk_info in scsiback_probe() is not

irqchip/gic-v3-its: Avoid truncating memory addresses
On 32-bit machines with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE, it is possible for lowmem
allocations to be backed by addresses physical memory above the 32-bit
address limit, as found while experimenting with larger VMSPLIT
configurations.
This caused the qemu virt model to crash in the GICv3 driver, which
allocates the 'itt' object using GFP_KERNEL. Since all memory below
the 4GB physical address limit is in ZONE_DMA in this configuration,
kmalloc() defaults to higher addresses for ZONE_NORMAL, and the
ITS driver stores the physical address
be2net: Fix NULL pointer dereference in be_cmd_get_mac_from_list
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
be2net: Fix NULL pointer dereference in be_cmd_get_mac_from_list
When the parameter pmac_id_valid argument of be_cmd_get_mac_from_list() is
set to false, the driver may request the PMAC_ID from the firmware of the
network card, and this function will store that PMAC_ID at the provided
address pmac_id. This is the contract of this function.
However, there is a location within the driver where both
pmac_id_valid == false and pmac_id == NULL are being passed. This could
result in dereferencing a NULL pointer.
To resolve this issue, it is necessary to pass the address of a st
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: Don't allow 0 for FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO.
fou_udp_recv() has the same problem mentioned in the previous
patch.
If FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO is set to 0, skb is not freed by
fou_udp_recv() nor "resubmit"-ted in ip_protocol_deliver_rcu().
Let's forbid 0 for FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO.
ALSA: ctxfi: Fix potential OOB access in audio mixer handling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In the audio mixer handling code of ctxfi driver, the conf field is
used as a kind of loop index, and it's referred in the index callbacks
(amixer_index() and sum_index()).
As spotted recently by fuzzers, the current code causes OOB access at
those functions.
