ocfs2: rebase copied fsdlm LVB pointers in locking_state
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: rebase copied fsdlm LVB pointers in locking_state
The locking_state debugfs iterator snapshots struct ocfs2_lock_res by
value under ocfs2_dlm_tracking_lock and later formats that copy in
ocfs2_dlm_seq_show(). That is fine for the inline fields, but the
userspace fsdlm stack stores the LVB through lksb_fsdlm.sb_lvbptr. Once
the iterator drops the tracking lock, a copied non-NULL sb_lvbptr still
points into the original lockres owner, so teardown can free that
container before the debugfs dump walks the raw LVB bytes.
Rebase the copied sb_lvbptr to the copied l_lksb
ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: validate fast symlink target during inode read
ocfs2_validate_inode_block() already rejects several inconsistent
self-contained dinodes before they are exposed to the rest of the
filesystem. Fast symlinks need the same treatment.
A zero-cluster symlink is treated as a fast symlink and later read through
page_get_link() and ocfs2_fast_symlink_read_folio(). That path uses
strnlen() on the inline payload and then copies len + 1 bytes into the
folio. If a corrupt dinode stores an i_size that does not fit the inline
area or omits the terminating NUL at i_size, that co
ocfs2: reject FITRIM ranges shorter than a cluster
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: reject FITRIM ranges shorter than a cluster
ocfs2_trim_mainbm() trims the global bitmap in cluster units, but its
too-short range validation only checks sb->s_blocksize.
On filesystems with a cluster size larger than the block size, a FITRIM
range that is at least one block but shorter than one cluster is accepted
and shifted down to len == 0. The later start + len - 1 and len -= ...
arithmetic then underflows and can drive trimming past the requested
range.
Reject ranges shorter than s_clustersize instead. That preserves the
existing -EINVAL behavior for reques
ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open
debug_lockres_open() copies inode->i_private into struct debug_lockres and
debug_lockres_release() later drops that pointer with dlm_put(). That
only works if open successfully pins the struct dlm_ctxt.
Today open calls dlm_grab(dlm) but ignores its return value. Once the
last domain unregister has removed the context from dlm_domains,
dlm_grab() returns NULL, yet open still stores the raw pointer and returns
success. The later release path is outside the debugfs removal barrier,
so it can call dlm_put() after dlm_
netfilter: cttimeout: detach dataplane timeout policy and repurpose refcount
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: cttimeout: detach dataplane timeout policy and repurpose refcount
Add a refcount for struct nf_ct_timeout which is used by ct extension to
set the custom ct timeout policy, this tells us that the ct timeout is
being used by a conntrack entry. When the last conntrack entry drops the
refcount on the ct timeout, the ct timeout is released.
Remove the refcount for control plane which controls if the ruleset
refers to the timeout policy. After this update, it is possible to
remove the ct timeout policy from nfnetlink_cttimeout immediately.
This is for simplicity not
kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
After commit 12e9e3cd03b5 ("simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache"),
kernfs_xattr_set() and kernfs_xattr_get() compute the cache via
kernfs_root(kn) before any other check. kernfs_root(kn) walks
kn->__parent first and falls back to kn->dir.root, both of which are
NULL on a freshly kmem_cache_zalloc()'d kn. kn->__parent was being set
in kernfs_new_node() after __kernfs_new_node() returned, and kn->dir.root
is set even later by kernfs_create_dir_ns() / kernfs_create_empty_dir().
The LSM kernfs_init_security hook is invoked from
wifi: wcn36xx: fix heap overflow from oversized firmware HAL response
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wcn36xx: fix heap overflow from oversized firmware HAL response
The firmware response dispatcher copies all synchronous HAL responses
into the 4096-byte hal_buf without validating the response length. A
response exceeding WCN36XX_HAL_BUF_SIZE causes a heap buffer overflow
with firmware-controlled content.
Add a bounds check on the response length.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read
snd_seq_read() copies a queued variable-length event header to userspace
before expanding the payload. Queued variable-length events use
SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_CHAINED internally, and data.ext.ptr points at the first
extension cell.
The read side strips SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_* bits from data.ext.len before the
copy, but it leaves data.ext.ptr untouched. A userspace sequencer client
can therefore write a direct variable event to itself and read back the
extension-cell kernel address from the returned header.
Clear the temporary header pointer
firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware_loader: Fix recursive lock in device_cache_fw_images()
A recursive locking deadlock can occur in the firmware loader's power
management notification handler.
During system suspend or hibernation preparation, fw_pm_notify() calls
device_cache_fw_images(). This function acquires fw_lock to set the
firmware cache state to FW_LOADER_START_CACHE and then iterates over all
devices using dpm_for_each_dev() while still holding the lock.
For each device, dev_cache_fw_image() schedules asynchronous work to cache
the firmware. If memory allocation for the async work entry f
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
configfs: fix lockless traversals of ->s_children
Having the parent directory locked protects entries from removal
by another thread, but it does *not* protect cursors from being
moved around by lseek() - or freed, for that matter.
fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code
The code that gets the frame buffer mode from OF has 'use after free',
'buffer overrun' and memory leaks.
info->edid_data isn't free if the probe functions fail or if
pd->def_mode is set.
If both the CRT and PANEL are enabled info->edid_data is used after
being freed and is freed twice.
The string returned by of_get_property(np, "mode", &len) is just
written over either the static "640x480-16@60" or the module parameter
string without any regard for the length (which is most likely longer).
Use kstrump() for the OF mo
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/net: complete zerocopy ubufs only once
vhost-net initializes one ubuf_info per outstanding zerocopy TX
descriptor and hands it to the backend socket. The networking stack may
then clone a zerocopy skb before all skb references are released. For
example, batman-adv fragmentation reaches skb_split(), which calls
skb_zerocopy_clone() and increments the same ubuf_info refcount.
vhost_zerocopy_complete() currently treats every ubuf callback as a
completed vhost descriptor. It dereferences ubuf->ctx, writes the
descriptor completion state, and drops the vhost_net_ubuf_r
ext4: fix kernel BUG in ext4_write_inline_data_end
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix kernel BUG in ext4_write_inline_data_end
When the data=journal mount option is used, the ext4_journalled_write_end()
function incorrectly calls ext4_write_inline_data_end() without checking
if the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is still set on the inode.
If a previous attempt to convert the inline data to an extent failed (e.g.
due to ENOSPC), the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is cleared, but
the EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA flag remains set. In this scenario, the next
call to ext4_write_begin() will not prepare the inline data xattr for
writing, but ext4_journalled
ext4: validate donor file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: validate donor file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
Reject the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl early if the donor file does not
belong to the same superblock as the original file. Currently, this
validation is performed inside ext4_move_extents() by
mext_check_validity(), but only after lock_two_nondirectories() has
already acquired the inode locks. When the donor fd refers to a file
on a different filesystem (e.g., overlayfs), this late validation
creates a circular lock dependency:
CPU0 (overlayfs write) CPU1 (ext4 ioctl)

RDMA/mlx5: Fix undefined shift of user RQ WQE size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix undefined shift of user RQ WQE size
set_rq_size() computes the RQ WQE size as "1 << rq_wqe_shift" based on
the user-provided rq_wqe_shift, which is only checked to be greater than
32, so shifts of 32 are still accepted. A shift of 31 also overflows a
signed integer, leading to undefined behavior.
Use check_shl_overflow() to compute the RQ WQE size and reject any
invalid values.
net/sched: cls_flow: Dont expose folded kernel pointers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_flow: Dont expose folded kernel pointers
The flow classifier falls back to addr_fold() for fields that are missing
from packet headers. In map mode, userspace controls mask, xor, rshift,
addend and divisor, and can observe the resulting classid through class
statistics. This allows a tc classifier in a user/network namespace to
recover the 32-bit folded value of skb->sk, skb_dst() or skb_nfct().
Align with standard kernel practices for pointer hashing and replace the
XOR folding with a keyed siphash (which is cryptographically secure)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate embedded address parameter length
sctp_verify_asconf() and sctp_verify_param() only validate ADD_IP, DEL_IP,
and SET_PRIMARY parameters against a fixed minimum size of sizeof(struct
sctp_addip_param) + sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr). This ensures the outer
parameter is large enough to contain an embedded address parameter header,
but does not verify that the embedded address parameter's declared length
fits within the bounds of the outer parameter.
Later, sctp_process_param() and sctp_process_asconf_param() extract the
embedded address parameter and pass it to
tipc: require net admin for TIPCv2 netlink mutators
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: require net admin for TIPCv2 netlink mutators
TIPCv2 registers mutating generic-netlink operations without admin
permission flags. Generic netlink only checks CAP_NET_ADMIN when an
operation sets GENL_ADMIN_PERM or GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, so a local
unprivileged process can currently change TIPC state through commands
such as TIPC_NL_NET_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_FLUSH, and
bearer enable/disable.
The legacy TIPC netlink API already checks netlink_net_capable(...,
CAP_NET_ADMIN) for administrative commands. Give the TIPCv2 mutators
the equivalent generic-netlink
ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event()
The comment above bounce_error_event() documents that user clients
should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with the original event embedded
as variable-length data, while kernel clients should receive
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with a quoted kernel pointer.
However, the implementation unconditionally uses
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with data.quote.event set to the raw
struct snd_seq_event pointer for all clients. When a bounce error
event is delivered to a USER_CLIENT via snd_seq_read(), the kernel

spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size
The method the driver uses to determine the size of the FIFO has a
problem. What it currently does is this:
It stops the SPI hardware and writes to the TX FIFO register until TX
FIFO FULL asserts in the status register. But the hardware does not only
have the FIFO, it also has a shift register which can hold a byte. This
can be seen, when writing a byte to the FIFO (while the SPI hardware is
stopped,) the TX FIFO EMPTY is still empty. So, if we have a FIFO size
of 16 for example, the current method returns a
