In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: bnep: Fix UAF read of dev->name
bnep_add_connection() needs to keep holding the bnep_session_sem while
reading dev->name (just like bnep_get_connlist() does); otherwise the
bnep_session() thread can concurrently free the net_device, which can for
example be triggered by a concurrent bnep_del_connection().
(This UAF is fairly uninteresting from a security perspective;
calling bnep_add_connection() requires passing a capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)
check. It also requires completely tearing down a netdev during a fairly
tight race window.)
phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
The networking receive path is usually run from softirq context, but
protocols that take the socket lock may have packets stored in the
backlog and processed later from process context. In that case
release_sock() -> __release_sock() drops the slock with spin_unlock_bh()
and then calls sk->sk_backlog_rcv() with bottom halves enabled.
Typical sk_backlog_rcv handlers process the socket whose backlog is
being drained, so the BH state at entry is irrelevant for the slocks
they touch. pep_do_rcv() is different: when the i
wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()
cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS
profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements.
Its while-loop calls
cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem)
but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each
iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same
fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same
next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until
the buffe
tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails
In paths where tracing_map_elt_alloc() failed to allocate objects,
the map->ops->elt_alloc() call was never successful. In this case,
map->ops->elt_free() should not be called.
spi: qup: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: qup: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to the clear the DMA channel pointers on setup failure to
avoid dereferencing an error pointer (or attempting to release a channel
a second time) on later probe errors or driver unbind.
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.
spi: sprd: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: sprd: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to check the dma.enabled flag before trying to release the DMA
channels also on late probe errors to avoid dereferencing an error
pointer (or attempting to release a channel a second time).
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.
firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration
The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an
id_table and dereferences it unconditionally. Enforce that contract at
registration time so a buggy client driver cannot crash the bus during
match.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: integrator: Fix early initialization
Starting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 ("ARM: integrator: read counter using
syscon/regmap"), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
which in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.
Since the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,
the call always fails. It either returns -ENOMEM or crashes as follows.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c when read

btrfs: tracepoints: fix sleep while in atomic context in btrfs_sync_file()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: tracepoints: fix sleep while in atomic context in btrfs_sync_file()
The trace event btrfs_sync_file() is called in an atomic context (all trace
events are) and its call to dput(), which is needed due to the call to
dget_parent(), can sleep, triggering a kernel splat.
This can be reproduced by enabling the trace event and running btrfs/056
from fstests for example. The splat shown in dmesg is the following:
[53.919] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at fs/dcache.c:970

wifi: ath11k: fix error path leaks in some WMI WOW calls
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix error path leaks in some WMI WOW calls
Fix two instances where we used to directly return the result of
ath11k_wmi_cmd_send(...). Because we did not check the return value, we
also did not free the skb in the error path.
drm/msm: Fix iommu_map_sgtable() return value check and avoid WARN
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix iommu_map_sgtable() return value check and avoid WARN
Commit "iommu: return full error code from iommu_map_sg[_atomic]()"
changed iommu_map_sgtable() to return an ssize_t and negative values
in error cases, rather than a size_t and a zero.
Store the return value in the appropriate type and in case of error,
return it rather than WARNing.

Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
The setup_packet of control urb is not freed if usb_submit_urb fails or
the submitted urb is killed. Add free in these two paths.
ksmbd: validate SID in parent security descriptor during ACL inheritance
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: validate SID in parent security descriptor during ACL inheritance
Introduce smb_validate_ntsd_sid() helper to safely validate Owner SID
and Group SID inside the NT Security Descriptor (smb_ntsd) retrieved
from the parent directory.
smb: client: require net admin for CIFS SWN netlink
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: require net admin for CIFS SWN netlink
CIFS_GENL_CMD_SWN_NOTIFY is the userspace witness-notify command. The
intended sender is the cifs.witness helper, but the generic-netlink
operation currently has no capability flag, so any local process can send
RESOURCE_CHANGE or CLIENT_MOVE notifications to the in-kernel witness
handler.
The same family exposes CIFS_GENL_MCGRP_SWN without multicast-group
capability flags. Register messages sent to that group include the witness
registration id and, for NTLM-authenticated mounts, the username, domain,
and password attr
hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) widen blackbox-info buffer to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) widen blackbox-info buffer to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX
adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() declares a 5-byte stack buffer and
passes it to i2c_smbus_read_block_data() to retrieve the 4-byte
BLACKBOX_INFO response. i2c_smbus_read_block_data() does not honour
caller buffer sizes -- it memcpy()s data.block[0] bytes from the
SMBus transaction (where data.block[0] is the length byte returned by
the slave device, up to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX = 32):
memcpy(values, &data.block[1], data.block[0]);
If the device returns any block length above 5, the call overflows

ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access at reading cache
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access at reading cache
find_control() to retrieve a cached info accesses the array with the
given index blindly, which may lead to an OOB array access.
Add a sanity check for avoiding it.
Bluetooth: MGMT: validate Add Extended Advertising Data length
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: MGMT: validate Add Extended Advertising Data length
MGMT_OP_ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA is registered as a variable-length command,
with MGMT_ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA_SIZE as the fixed header size. The handler
then uses cp->adv_data_len and cp->scan_rsp_len to validate and copy
cp->data, but it never checks that those bytes are part of the mgmt
command payload.
A short command can therefore make add_ext_adv_data() pass an
out-of-bounds pointer into tlv_data_is_valid(). If the bytes beyond
the command buffer are addressable, they can also be copied into the
advertising instance a
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmgenet: keep RBUF EEE/PM disabled
Setting RBUF_EEE_EN | RBUF_PM_EN in RBUF_ENERGY_CTRL breaks the RX
path on GENET hardware once MAC EEE becomes active. RX traffic stops
flowing while the link stays up and the usual descriptor/RX error
counters remain quiet. In that state the MAC still accepts frames
(rbuf_ovflow_cnt keeps climbing) but RBUF no longer forwards them to
DMA, so rx_packets is no longer incremented at the netdev level. On
some boards the corruption ends up as a paging fault in
skb_release_data via bcmgenet_rx_poll on an LPI exit.

net: hsr: defer node table free until after RCU readers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: defer node table free until after RCU readers
HSR node-list and node-status generic-netlink operations run under
rcu_read_lock(). They walk hsr->node_db through hsr_get_next_node() and
hsr_get_node_data(), but RTM_DELLINK teardown removes the same node table
with plain list_del() and frees each node immediately.
That lets a generic-netlink reader hold a struct hsr_node pointer across
hsr_dellink(). In a KASAN build, widening the reader window after
hsr_get_next_node() obtains the node reproduces a slab-use-after-free
when the reader copies node->macaddress_A; the
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qed: fix double free in qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
If one of the later PF or VF CID bitmap allocations fails,
qed_cid_map_alloc() jumps to cid_map_fail and frees the previously
allocated CID bitmaps before returning an error. qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
then calls qed_cxt_mngr_free(), which invokes qed_cid_map_free()
again.
Fix this by setting each CID bitmap pointer to NULL after bitmap_free()
to avoid double free.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under devel
