ksm: use range-walk function to jump over holes in scan_get_next_rmap_item
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksm: use range-walk function to jump over holes in scan_get_next_rmap_item
Currently, scan_get_next_rmap_item() walks every page address in a VMA to
locate mergeable pages. This becomes highly inefficient when scanning
large virtual memory areas that contain mostly unmapped regions, causing
ksmd to use large amount of cpu without deduplicating much pages.
This patch replaces the per-address lookup with a range walk using
walk_page_range(). The range walker allows KSM to skip over entire
unmapped holes in a VMA, avoiding unnecessary lookups. This problem was
previously d
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imon: make send_packet() more robust
syzbot is reporting that imon has three problems which result in
hung tasks due to forever holding device lock [1].
First problem is that when usb_rx_callback_intf0() once got -EPROTO error
after ictx->dev_present_intf0 became true, usb_rx_callback_intf0()
resubmits urb after printk(), and resubmitted urb causes
usb_rx_callback_intf0() to again get -EPROTO error. This results in
printk() flooding (RCU stalls).
Alan Stern commented [2] that
In theory it's okay to resubmit _if_ the driver has a robust
error-recovery scheme (s
drm/amdgpu/atom: Check kcalloc() for WS buffer in amdgpu_atom_execute_table_locked()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/atom: Check kcalloc() for WS buffer in amdgpu_atom_execute_table_locked()
kcalloc() may fail. When WS is non-zero and allocation fails, ectx.ws
remains NULL while ectx.ws_size is set, leading to a potential NULL
pointer dereference in atom_get_src_int() when accessing WS entries.
Return -ENOMEM on allocation failure to avoid the NULL dereference.
nfs4_setup_readdir(): insufficient locking for ->d_parent->d_inode dereferencing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs4_setup_readdir(): insufficient locking for ->d_parent->d_inode dereferencing
Theoretically it's an oopsable race, but I don't believe one can manage
to hit it on real hardware; might become doable on a KVM, but it still
won't be easy to attack.
Anyway, it's easy to deal with - since xdr_encode_hyper() is just a call of
put_unaligned_be64(), we can put that under ->d_lock and be done with that.
cpufreq/longhaul: handle NULL policy in longhaul_exit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq/longhaul: handle NULL policy in longhaul_exit
longhaul_exit() was calling cpufreq_cpu_get(0) without checking
for a NULL policy pointer. On some systems, this could lead to a
NULL dereference and a kernel warning or panic.
This patch adds a check using unlikely() and returns early if the
policy is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: storage: sddr55: Reject out-of-bound new_pba
Discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine.
new_pba comes from the status packet returned after each write.
A bogus device could report values beyond the block count derived
from info->capacity, letting the driver walk off the end of
pba_to_lba[] and corrupt heap memory.
Reject PBAs that exceed the computed block count and fail the
transfer so we avoid touching out-of-range mapping entries.
futex: Don't leak robust_list pointer on exec race
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex: Don't leak robust_list pointer on exec race
sys_get_robust_list() and compat_get_robust_list() use ptrace_may_access()
to check if the calling task is allowed to access another task's
robust_list pointer. This check is racy against a concurrent exec() in the
target process.
During exec(), a task may transition from a non-privileged binary to a
privileged one (e.g., setuid binary) and its credentials/memory mappings
may change. If get_robust_list() performs ptrace_may_access() before
this transition, it may erroneously allow access to sensitive information
after the

drm/amdgpu: fix nullptr err of vm_handle_moved
If a amdgpu_bo_va is fpriv->prt_va, the bo of this one is always NULL.
So, such kind of amdgpu_bo_va should be updated separately before

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: Correctly handle Rx checksum offload errors
The stmmac_rx function would previously set skb->ip_summed to
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if hardware checksum offload (CoE) was enabled
and the packet was of a known IP ethertype.
However, this logic failed to check if the hardware had actually
reported a checksum error. The hardware status, indicating a header or
payload checksum failure, was being ignored at this stage. This could
cause corrupt packets to be passed up the network stack as valid.
This patch corrects the logic by checking the `csum_none` status flag,
