In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: ffs: fix mm lifetime handling
io_data stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct,
but does not currently hold a reference to it while async
requests are pending.
This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before
completion handling finishes.
Take a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request
and release it with mmdrop() on request completion.
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix Use-After-Free in AIO error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix Use-After-Free in AIO error path
In ffs_epfile_write_iter() and ffs_epfile_read_iter(), when ffs_epfile_io()
fails with an error other than -EIOCBQUEUED, the io_data structure (`p`) is
freed. However, for AIO operations, the kiocb cancel function was already
armed and kiocb->private was set to `p`.
If a concurrent cancel operation (such as sys_io_cancel()) executes after
ffs_epfile_io() fails but before the function frees `p`, a Use-After-Free
can occur when the cancellation handler accesses the freed pointer.
To securely fix this race condition, we
NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during close_lru reaping
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during close_lru reaping
An nfs4_openowner left on nn->close_lru after its final CLOSE keeps
its last closed stateid in oo_last_closed_stid, holding only a raw
pointer to its nfs4_client. The laundromat reaps timed-out entries,
drops nn->client_lock, and calls nfs4_put_stid(), which dereferences
the client through cl_lock. Nothing pins the client across that
window, so a concurrent force_expire_client() can free it and
nfs4_put_stid() reads freed memory. __destroy_client() hits the same
race, walking clp->cl_openowners without cl_lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: image: mdc800: change kmalloc() to kzalloc()
Change the kmalloc() calls in usb_mdc800_init() for irq_urb_buffer and
download_urb_buffer to kzalloc(), avoiding potential stack leaks if a
shorter message is received in mdc800_usb_irq() and
mdc800_usb_download_notify()
ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in snd_usbmidi_us122l_output()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in snd_usbmidi_us122l_output()
The snd_usbmidi_us122l_output() picks a count of 2 on anything slower
than high speed and never relates it to ep->max_transfer. The URB
buffer holds exactly max_transfer bytes, so a device declaring a one
byte bulk endpoint takes two bytes from snd_rawmidi_transmit(), and the
memset that pads the rest computes 1 - 2 in int and wraps to SIZE_MAX.
Only 0x800e and 0x800f are pinned to nine bytes. The US-122MKII at
0x0644:0x8021 falls to the default and takes usb_maxpacket(), which the
USB core only clamps downwar
media: usbtv: keep device alive while ALSA card exists
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: usbtv: keep device alive while ALSA card exists
The ALSA PCM callbacks store the driver state in pcm->private_data. An
open PCM file can outlive USB disconnect because usbtv_audio_free() uses
snd_card_free_when_closed(). The disconnect path can then drop the V4L2
device reference and free struct usbtv before ALSA releases the substream,
so a later close dereferences freed memory in snd_usbtv_pcm_close().
Take a V4L2 device reference for the ALSA card and drop it from the card
private_free callback. This keeps struct usbtv valid until ALSA has closed
the remaining fi
usb-storage: ene_ub6250: fix race between scan work and probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb-storage: ene_ub6250: fix race between scan work and probe
ene_ub6250_probe() calls usb_stor_probe2(), which starts the usb-storage
infrastructure and schedules the delayed scan work. The driver then
calls ene_get_card_type(), which sends an ENE command through
ene_send_scsi_cmd() and the usb-storage bulk transfer helpers.
Both the delayed scan work, through usb_stor_Bulk_max_lun(), and
ene_get_card_type() use us->current_urb. The scan work serializes this
access with us->dev_mutex, but the ENE card-type probe does not. If the
scan work runs while ene_get_card_type()
usb: storage: realtek_cr: fix use-after-free on disconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: storage: realtek_cr: fix use-after-free on disconnect
realtek_cr_destructor() calls timer_delete() before the chip containing
the timer is freed. The timer callback may still be running and can
rearm itself, resulting in a use-after-free.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() to wait for the callback and prevent further
rearming. Do this unconditionally because ss_en may be changed after
the timer is armed.
Move timer_setup() into init_realtek_cr() so the timer is initialized
before any failure path can invoke the destructor.
Found by static analysis.
USB: gadget: fix NULL pointer dereference in gadget_dev_ioctl()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: fix NULL pointer dereference in gadget_dev_ioctl()
gadget_dev_ioctl() reads dev->gadget before acquiring dev->lock, but
dev->state is checked after acquiring the lock. Therefore a concurrent
bind can change the device state between these operations, which can
leave ioctl with a stale NULL gadget pointer and causing a NULL pointer
dereference at gadget->ops->ioctl.
Read dev->gadget while holding dev->lock so that the gadget pointer
and device state are sampled consistently.
usb: gadget: fix null pointer dereference in usb_put_function_instance()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: fix null pointer dereference in usb_put_function_instance()
usb_put_function_instance() attempts to dereference fd inside fi struct
to get mod in uvc_alloc_inst() error path. However, fd is not allocated
until later in try_get_usb_function_instance() after allocating fi in
uvc_alloc_inst() and thus guranteed to be null in error path. Fix this
by adding a null check for fi->fd that returns if fd is null.
tracing: Take trace_array reference when opening options file
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Take trace_array reference when opening options file
The options files do not take the trace_array reference for the options
they represent. This could cause a use-after-free kernel crash if one of
these files is opened by one task and another task removes the instance
that the option is for. Because it doesn't take a reference upon opening,
it will not stop the removal which will free the options descriptor that
is being used.
As the options are somewhat dynamic in their creation at boot up, each
file represents a flag in the trace_array. The trace_array has an a
scsi: target: iscsi: Reserve a terminator byte for the login payload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: iscsi: Reserve a terminator byte for the login payload
iscsi_target_check_login_request() rejects a login PDU whose
DataSegmentLength exceeds MAX_KEY_VALUE_PAIRS, but the test is '>' and
login->req_buf is allocated with exactly MAX_KEY_VALUE_PAIRS
bytes. Since iscsit_get_login_rx() receives payload_length + padding
bytes, where
padding = ((-payload_length) & 3);
any payload_length from 8189 to 8192 fills the whole 8192 byte
buffer. The write stays in bounds, but no byte is left for a NUL
terminator.
The buffer is subsequently consumed as a C string. In the
ftrace: Take trace_array reference before accessing its ftrace_ops
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Take trace_array reference before accessing its ftrace_ops
The trace instance files set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace was
updated to work with specific trace instances (trace_arrays). The issue is
that when these files are opened, there is a small race window where it
will use the ftrace_ops from the inode->private pointer to get a reference
to the trace_array and then take its reference. The problem is that the
ftrace_ops itself could be freed. If the rmdir on the instance happens at
the same time the set_ftrace_filter file is opened, the rmdir could have

HID: rmi: fix OOB access with undersized RMI reports
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: rmi: fix OOB access with undersized RMI reports
The hid-rmi driver sizes its writeReport/readReport buffer purely from
the report descriptor supplied by the device, with no minimum bound:
data->input_report_size = hid_report_len(input_report);
data->output_report_size = hid_report_len(output_report);
alloc_size = data->output_report_size + data->input_report_size;
data->writeReport = devm_kzalloc(&hdev->dev, alloc_size, GFP_KERNEL);
data->readReport = data->writeReport + data->output_report_size;
but then reads and writes fixed offsets into it. A device declar
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix resume-vs-remove race
If the user issues the resume ioctl and the remove ioctl at the same
time, it may be possible that the device is resumed after it is suspended
in __dm_destroy. The result is that the table is destroyed without
calling the postsuspend method.
Dm targets expect that they may be removed only after the postsuspend
method method was called. If we break this expectation, it can cause
misbehavior in various targets. For example - in the dm-integrity target,
the reboot notifier is not unregistered, leading to use-after-free.
Fix this bug by refusing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU
__within_kprobe_blacklist() traverses kprobe_blacklist without holding
kprobe_mutex. When a module is unloaded, kprobe_remove_area_blacklist()
removes blacklist entries and immediately frees them with kfree().
A concurrent call to within_kprobe_blacklist() can therefore dereference
freed memory.
Furthermore, within_kprobe_blacklist() can be called in atomic or
non-preemptible contexts where the sleeping kprobe_mutex cannot be taken.
Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU. Use guard(rcu)() and
list_for_each_entry_rcu() for traversal, l
i2c: mux: Fix channel node leak on adapter add failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: mux: Fix channel node leak on adapter add failure
i2c_mux_add_adapter() takes a reference to the Device Tree channel node
before registering the new adapter. If adapter registration fails, the
error path frees the private data without dropping that reference.
Release the channel node before freeing the private data.
ALSA: pcm: Fix race between non-atomic ops and trigger-start
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Fix race between non-atomic ops and trigger-start
We protect the races of the concurrent state transitions between
atomic PCM ops, but the checks between the non-atomic ops (hw_params,
hw_free and prepare) and the atomic ops aren't perfect; there is a
check of the conflicting PCM state at the beginning of hw_params & co,
but the atomic PCM ops can be still issued during the non-atomic PCM
operations. An example such scenario is that a thread A re-issues the
PREPARE or HW_PARAMS for the already prepared stream, while another
thread B triggers the PCM start in the
nvdimm/btt: reject an arena whose nfree is below the lane count
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvdimm/btt: reject an arena whose nfree is below the lane count
The BTT info block's nfree field, the number of reserve free blocks, is
read from the medium without validation. btt_freelist_init() and
btt_rtt_init() size the per-lane freelist[] and rtt[] arrays by nfree,
but the I/O path indexes them by the lane from nd_region_acquire_lane(),
which is bounded by nd_region->num_lanes (ND_MAX_LANES), not by nfree.
A crafted or foreign arena whose nfree is below the lane count makes
freelist[lane]/rtt[lane] run past the allocation: an out-of-bounds write.

parisc: eisa: Fix infinite loop when parsing invalid IRQ value
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: eisa: Fix infinite loop when parsing invalid IRQ value
When an invalid value is passed via the "eisa_irq_edge=" kernel
command line parameter (e.g. "eisa_irq_edge=16,5"), eisa_irq_setup()
prints an error message and continues without advancing the current
position. As a result the same invalid value is parsed again and
again, causing an infinite loop while the kernel boots.
Advance to the next comma-separated entry, or stop parsing when there
is no next entry, before continuing so that the remaining entries are
processed normally.
