nvmet: avoid recursive nvmet-wq flush in nvmet_ctrl_free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: avoid recursive nvmet-wq flush in nvmet_ctrl_free
nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() runs on nvmet-wq and can drop the
final controller reference through nvmet_cq_put(). If that triggers
nvmet_ctrl_free(), the teardown path flushes ctrl->async_event_work on
the same nvmet-wq.

isofs: validate Rock Ridge CE continuation extent against volume size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: validate Rock Ridge CE continuation extent against volume size
rock_continue() reads rs->cont_extent verbatim from the Rock Ridge CE
record and passes it to sb_bread() without checking that the block
number is within the mounted ISO 9660 volume. commit e595447e177b
("[PATCH] rock.c: handle corrupted directories") added cont_offset
and cont_size rejection for the CE continuation but did not validate
the extent block number itself. commit f54e18f1b831 ("isofs: Fix
infinite looping over CE entries") later capped the CE chain length
at RR_MAX_CE_ENTRIES = 32 but again
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extran

spi: topcliff-pch: fix use-after-free on unbind
Give the driver a chance to flush its queue before releasing the DMA

hfsplus: fix held lock freed on hfsplus_fill_super()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfsplus: fix held lock freed on hfsplus_fill_super()
hfsplus_fill_super() calls hfs_find_init() to initialize a search
structure, which acquires tree->tree_lock. If the subsequent call to
hfsplus_cat_build_key() fails, the function jumps to the out_put_root
error label without releasing the lock. The later cleanup path then
frees the tree data structure with the lock still held, triggering a
held lock freed warning.
Fix this by adding the missing hfs_find_exit(&fd) call before jumping
to the out_put_root error label. This ensures that tree->tree_lock is
properly released o
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix a buffer overflow in ioctl processing
Tony Asleson (using Claude) found a buffer overflow in dm-ioctl in the
function retrieve_status:
1. The code in retrieve_status checks that the output string fits into
the output buffer and writes the output string there
2. Then, the code aligns the "outptr" variable to the next 8-byte
boundary:
outptr = align_ptr(outptr);
3. The alignment doesn't check overflow, so outptr could point past the
buffer end
4. The "for" loop is iterated again, it executes:
remaining = len - (outptr - outbuf);
5. If "outptr" points past
pmdomain: core: Fix detach procedure for virtual devices in genpd
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pmdomain: core: Fix detach procedure for virtual devices in genpd
If a device is attached to a PM domain through genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(),
genpd calls pm_runtime_enable() for the corresponding virtual device that
it registers. While this avoids boilerplate code in drivers, there is no
corresponding call to pm_runtime_disable() in genpd_dev_pm_detach().
This means these virtual devices are typically detached from its genpd,
while runtime PM remains enabled for them, which is not how things are
designed to work. In worst cases it may lead to critical errors, like a
NULL p
crypto: caam - guard HMAC key hex dumps in hash_digest_key
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: caam - guard HMAC key hex dumps in hash_digest_key
Use print_hex_dump_devel() for dumping sensitive HMAC key bytes in
hash_digest_key() to avoid leaking secrets at runtime when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled.
Bluetooth: hci_uart: fix UAFs and race conditions in close and init paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_uart: fix UAFs and race conditions in close and init paths
Vulnerabilities leading to Use-After-Free (UAF) and Null Pointer
Dereference (NPD) conditions were observed in the lifecycle management
of hci_uart.
The primary issue arises because the workqueues (init_ready and
write_work) are only flushed/cancelled if the HCI_UART_PROTO_READY
flag is set during TTY close. If a hangup occurs before setup completes,
hci_uart_tty_close() skips the teardown of these workqueues and
proceeds to free the `hu` struct. When the scheduled work executes
later, it blindly der
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vkms: Convert to DRM's vblank timer
Replace vkms' vblank timer with the DRM implementation. The DRM
code is identical in concept, but differs in implementation.
Vblank timers are covered in vblank helpers and initializer macros,
so remove the corresponding hrtimer in struct vkms_output. The
vblank timer calls vkms' custom timeout code via handle_vblank_timeout
in struct drm_crtc_helper_funcs.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmveth: Disable GSO for packets with small MSS
Some physical adapters on Power systems do not support segmentation
offload when the MSS is less than 224 bytes. Attempting to send such
packets causes the adapter to freeze, stopping all traffic until
manually reset.
Implement ndo_features_check to disable GSO for packets with small MSS
values. The network stack will perform software segmentation instead.
The 224-byte minimum matches ibmvnic
commit <f10b09ef687f> ("ibmvnic: Enforce stronger sanity checks
on GSO packets")
which uses the same physical adapters in SEA configur
power: supply: rt9455: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: rt9455: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has
nfc: hci: shdlc: Stop timers and work before freeing context
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: hci: shdlc: Stop timers and work before freeing context
llc_shdlc_deinit() purges SHDLC skb queues and frees the llc_shdlc
structure while its timers and state machine work may still be active.
Timer callbacks can schedule sm_work, and sm_work accesses SHDLC state
and the skb queues. If teardown happens in parallel with a queued/running
work item, it can lead to UAF and other shutdown races.
Stop all SHDLC timers and cancel sm_work synchronously before purging the
queues and freeing the context.

inet: RAW sockets using IPPROTO_RAW MUST drop incoming ICMP
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet: RAW sockets using IPPROTO_RAW MUST drop incoming ICMP
Yizhou Zhao reported that simply having one RAW socket on protocol
IPPROTO_RAW (255) was dangerous.
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 255);
A malicious incoming ICMP packet can set the protocol field to 255
and match this socket, leading to FNHE cache changes.

pstore/ram: fix buffer overflow in persistent_ram_save_old()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore/ram: fix buffer overflow in persistent_ram_save_old()
persistent_ram_save_old() can be called multiple times for the same
persistent_ram_zone (e.g., via ramoops_pstore_read -> ramoops_get_next_prz
for PSTORE_TYPE_DMESG records).
Currently, the function only allocates prz->old_log when it is NULL,
but it unconditionally updates prz->old_log_size to the current buffer
size and then performs memcpy_fromio() using this new size. If the
buffer size has grown since the first allocation (which can happen
across different kernel boot cycles), this leads to:
1. A heap buffe
