usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index
The variable ndp_index is declared as a signed integer, but it stores
the return value of get_ncm(), which is unsigned.
A malicious host can supply a large offset that overflows the signed
ndp_index, making it negative. Because ndp_index is compared against
unsigned bounds, this negative value bypasses sanity checks and leads
to an out-of-bounds read when calculating the address of the NDP
block (ntb_ptr + ndp_index).
Fix this by changing ndp_index to unsigned int to ensure consistent
unsigned comparisons throughout the f
net: usb: ipheth: fix carrier_work UAF on disconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: ipheth: fix carrier_work UAF on disconnect
ipheth_sndbulk_callback() re-arms the carrier-check work on any
non-zero URB status:
else
schedule_delayed_work(&dev->carrier_work, 0);
Nothing ties that to the interface being up, so the work can be armed
again after ipheth_close() has already drained it, and stay armed
until the netdev whose private area embeds it is freed.
On unplug with a TX URB in flight, ipheth_disconnect() drains the work
through unregister_netdev() -> ipheth_close() ->
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and only then calls ipheth_kill_urbs().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: add permission check for KDSKBMETA ioctl
KDSKBMETA modifies keyboard meta mode but lacks the !perm check that all
other keyboard setter ioctls in vt_k_ioctl() enforce, allowing a process
to change meta mode on a non-controlling console without authorization.
vt: stabilize tty reference in kbd_keycode with tty_port_tty_get
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: stabilize tty reference in kbd_keycode with tty_port_tty_get
kbd_keycode() reads vc->port.tty without acquiring a tty reference,
racing against con_shutdown() which clears port.tty under a different
lock. Use tty_port_tty_get()/tty_kref_put() to hold a proper reference
for the duration the tty pointer is needed.
Input: evdev - fix information leak in evdev_pass_values()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: evdev - fix information leak in evdev_pass_values()
In evdev_pass_values(), the input_event structure is allocated on the
kernel stack and populated field-by-field. However, it is never fully
initialized. On architectures where struct input_event contains explicit
or implicit padding (such as the 32-bit __pad field on SPARC64), these
padding bytes are left uninitialized.
When this event structure is subsequently passed to the client buffer
and later copied to userspace, the uninitialized padding bytes leak
kernel stack memory, potentially exposing sensitive informat

Kernel page table walkers fall into two broad categories - those ranges
where no exclusion is required via walk_kernel_page_table_range_lockless()
and those where exclusion is required via walk_kernel_page_table_range()
or walk_page_range_debug().
The former category is used only by arm64 arch code operating on ranges it
both wholly owns and does not concurrently write.
The latter category consists of kernel page table w
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: fix out-of-bounds read in xattr_verify()
The digest-length check in xattr_verify() mixes int and size_t:
if (xattr_len - sizeof(xattr_value->type) - hash_start >=
iint->ima_hash->length)
sizeof() yields size_t, so the usual arithmetic conversions promote
the whole left-hand side to unsigned 64-bit before the subtraction
runs. For a truncated xattr this underflows instead of going negative:
a 1-byte IMA_XATTR_DIGEST_NG xattr (xattr_len == 1, hash_start == 1)
turns "1 - 1 - 1" into SIZE_MAX, which is trivially >= ima_hash->length.
The check then passes and the foll
ipvs: clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors
ip_vs_in_icmp() rebases an skb from the outer ICMP packet to the
quoted original request before passing it to icmp_send(). However,
IPCB(skb)->opt still describes the outer IPv4 header.
A timestamp option in the outer header can therefore leave an offset
that points into the quoted transport header after the rebase.
__ip_options_echo() treats a byte at that stale location as the option
length and copies it into the fixed-size option storage on the
__icmp_send() stack, causing a stack out-of-bounds write.

packet: use consistent hard_header_len in TX_RING send path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
packet: use consistent hard_header_len in TX_RING send path
tpacket_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len independently for skb
allocation and header construction in tpacket_fill_skb(). Concurrent
netdevice reconfiguration can therefore make the reserved headroom
smaller than the amount later pushed, or make copylen - hard_header_len
negative.
Snapshot hard_header_len once before processing ring frames and use it
for the frame limit, headroom allocation, copy length, and skb
construction. Pass the snapshot to tpacket_fill_skb().

packet: synchronize pressure clearing with ring reconfiguration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
packet: synchronize pressure clearing with ring reconfiguration
packet_set_ring() updates the RX ring state under sk_receive_queue.lock,
but used to publish the tpacket receive mode through po->prot_hook.func
after releasing that lock. packet_poll() and packet_recvmsg() can then
run the pressure clearing path after the ring has been cleared while
still seeing tpacket_rcv, causing __packet_rcv_has_room() to dereference
stale or NULL ring storage.
Move the existing receive hook assignment into the same
sk_receive_queue.lock section as the ring state update. Keep the

net: openvswitch: reallocate update replies for mismatched IDs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: reallocate update replies for mismatched IDs
ovs_flow_cmd_new() preallocates the optional reply skb before it takes
ovs_mutex and before it knows which existing flow will be updated.
That is normally fine because the skb is sized from the request flow
identifier. That identifier also becomes the inserted flow's identifier.
For updates, however, a request with a UFID may miss the UFID lookup and
then fall back to the flow key lookup. That lookup can legitimately find
an existing key-identified flow. UFIDs are optional and the flow key is
the primary ide
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: reject overly deep qdisc hierarchies
Deep qdisc hierarchies can lead to excessive recursion in qdisc tree
walkers and exhaust the kernel stack. The existing loop check does not
cover the create-and-graft path, so a hierarchy can still be extended by
creating a new child qdisc below an already deep parent.
Store the hierarchy depth in struct Qdisc and update it when qdiscs are
grafted. Reject new child qdiscs once the parent is already at the maximum
allowed depth.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet: frags: publish queues before arming timer
inet_frag_create() arms the fragment queue timer before inserting the
queue into the fqdir rhashtable. If the namespace fragment timeout is
zero or negative, the timer can run before the queue is published.
The timer callback then marks the queue complete, tries to remove a node
that is not in the hash table yet, and drops the anticipated hash
reference. Creation can subsequently publish the completed queue without
restoring that reference, leaving a stale hash node after the caller drops
the remaining reference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ebt_nflog: pin the NFLOG backend
nf_log_unregister() runs after the per-net teardown so its final RCU
grace period also drains readers that obtained the logger from a per-net
binding. However, ebt_nflog passes an explicit ULOG log type to
nf_log_packet() without holding a reference on the selected logger module,
unlike the xt_NFLOG and nft_log frontends.
An ebtables nflog rule can therefore remain callable while nfnetlink_log
is unloaded. The resulting interleaving is:
CPU 0 CPU 1
nfnetlink_log_fini()
unregister_pernet_su
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex: Prevent robust futex exit race some more
A robust futex unlock stores 0 over the whole futex value - wiping
FUTEX_WAITERS - and wakes a single waiter. That wakeup is a one-shot
notification: the protocol relies on its recipient to either acquire the
futex (and eventually unlock while aware of the remaining contention) or
re-arm FUTEX_WAITERS before sleeping again. If the woken waiter is killed
before it can do either, the kernel must jump in and wake the next task
down the line.
This is a known complication of the futex protocol with a previous
partial fix in commi
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: fix use-after-free in fib_nhc_update_mtu()
fib_nhc_update_mtu() walks the nexthop exception table under RTNL, but
RTNL does not serialize this walk with PMTU exception updates. The walk
uses rcu_dereference_protected() with a constant true condition without
holding fnhe_lock.
The following interleaving can therefore occur:
CPU 0 CPU 1
fib_nhc_update_mtu() update_or_create_fnhe()
load fnhe spin_lock_bh(&fnhe_lock)

serial: 8250_dma: Clear stale RX state on shutdown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_dma: Clear stale RX state on shutdown
serial8250_release_dma() terminates RX DMA and releases the channel, but
leaves rx_running set. If the port is closed while an RX transfer is
active, the stale state remains while rxchan is NULL until the channel is
requested again on the next open.
The DesignWare BUSY workaround added by commit a7b9ce39fbe4
("serial: 8250_dw: Ensure BUSY is deasserted") calls
serial8250_rx_dma_flush() from the LCR write path during startup. This
happens before serial8250_request_dma() obtains a new RX channel. On
reopen, the stale rx_r
serial: 8250_of: clear stuck empty-FIFO RX-timeout on LPC32xx
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_of: clear stuck empty-FIFO RX-timeout on LPC32xx
The NXP LPC32xx UART (PORT_LPC3220) can latch an RX character-timeout
interrupt while the RX FIFO is empty: IIR reports UART_IIR_RX_TIMEOUT
(0x0c) but LSR.DR is clear. A character timeout is only cleared by
reading RHR, but serial8250_rx_chars() reads RHR only when LSR.DR is
set, so nothing ever clears the condition. The interrupt is
level-triggered and re-fires immediately, so on a single-core ARM926
the resulting interrupt storm livelocks the CPU.
It is reproducible when userspace repeatedly opens the front-pa
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_get_wpa_ie()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_get_wpa_ie()
rtw_get_wpa_ie() reads bytes at fixed offsets into a vendor-specific
information element without checking that the element is long enough,
causing an out-of-bounds read for a short trailing IE.
The function locates a vendor-specific IE (EID 221) with rtw_get_ie()
and then compares a 4-byte OUI+type at pbuf + 2 and reads a 2-byte
version word at pbuf + 6. Those accesses require the IE body to be at
least 6 bytes, but rtw_get_ie() only guarantees that the element fits
within the buffer; it does not enforce a minimum body l
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in WMM_param_handler()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in WMM_param_handler()
WMM_param_handler() copies a fixed-size WMM parameter element out of a
received information element without checking that the element is long
enough, causing an out-of-bounds read for a short WMM IE.
The handler reads sizeof(struct WMM_para_element) (18) bytes at
pIE->data + 6, so it requires pIE->length to be at least 24
(WLAN_WMM_LEN), but it never validates the length. Two of its three
callers reach it after matching only the WMM OUI: OnAssocRsp() in
rtw_mlme_ext.c matches a 6-byte OUI, and join_cmd_hdl() matches a
