net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice
smc_rx_splice() passes pages to splice_to_pipe() before taking the
references that cover the lifetime of each splice entry. In the
VM-backed RMB path, splice_to_pipe() may drop unqueued entries through
smc_rx_spd_release(), while queued entries are released later via the
pipe buffer callback.
The old post-splice accounting also derives the number of queued VM pages
from an offset mutated while building the descriptor, and a multi-page
splice pairs one sock_hold() with multiple sock_put() calls.
Take the page a
ipv6: prevent in6_dev_get() from resurrecting inet6_dev
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent in6_dev_get() from resurrecting inet6_dev
in6_dev_get() reads dev->ip6_ptr under RCU and then unconditionally
increments its refcount. Device teardown can clear the pointer and drop
the last reference between these operations. The increment then
resurrects an object whose RCU free has already been queued, so callers
can use it after it is freed.
Use refcount_inc_not_zero() and return NULL when the object has already
reached zero. RCU keeps the memory accessible through the attempted
reference acquisition, and a successful increment pins the object for
the cal
net/x25: fix use-after-free of the socket by its timers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/x25: fix use-after-free of the socket by its timers
The x25 timers are armed with mod_timer() and cancelled with
timer_delete(), so a pending timer holds no reference on the socket and a
cancel does not wait for a callback already running on another CPU.
x25_heartbeat_expiry() also rearms unconditionally, so it can reinstall
sk->sk_timer after __x25_destroy_socket() has passed its cancel point.
The following __sock_put() frees the socket while the timer is still
queued, and the next expiry uses freed memory. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-2k object
NTB: ntb_netdev: Preserve RX queue depth on allocation failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NTB: ntb_netdev: Preserve RX queue depth on allocation failure
ntb_netdev_rx_handler() hands the received skb to the network stack
before allocating its replacement. If the allocation fails, nothing is
reposted. Every failure therefore takes one buffer out of the RX queue
while the interface remains up, and enough failures eventually stall
reception.
A retry path could refill the queue later, but ntb_netdev has none.
Allocate the replacement first instead. If that fails, drop the packet
and repost the same skb. This keeps the queue full and lets packet
delivery resume as s
netfilter: bridge: release template ct on non-IP path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: bridge: release template ct on non-IP path
A bridge nftables ct zone set rule can attach a conntrack template to
an skb before nf_ct_bridge_pre() sees it. For non-IPv4 and non-IPv6
EtherTypes, nf_ct_bridge_pre() currently overwrites skb->_nfct with
IP_CT_UNTRACKED without releasing the existing template reference.
That makes the per-cpu template, and any temporary templates allocated
for concurrent use, unreachable and leaks memory until the host runs out
of slab.
Reset the skb conntrack state before marking the frame untracked so the
existing template referenc
net: atlantic: free stranded TX buffers on ring deinit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: free stranded TX buffers on ring deinit
aq_vec_deinit() drains the TX rings with a single aq_ring_tx_clean()
call, which frees at most AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET (256) descriptors and
stops at hw_head, which no longer moves once aq_vec_stop() has stopped
the hardware and NAPI. Completed descriptors beyond the budget and
everything still posted in [hw_head, sw_tail) keep their skb or
xdp_frame when the interface goes down: aq_vec_ring_free() then frees
the buffer ring and the references are lost for good.
Today this is a silent memory leak on every interface down
net: atlantic: free RX pages of consumed but not refilled buffers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: free RX pages of consumed but not refilled buffers
aq_ring_rx_deinit() only walks [sw_head, sw_tail), the region posted to
hardware. Since the page reuse strategy was added, a cleaned RX buffer
keeps its page (and its DMA mapping) in the ring for reuse, and refill
is batched: aq_ring_rx_fill() returns early until AQ_CFG_RX_REFILL_THRES
slots are free. Slots that were consumed but not yet reposted therefore
sit in the complementary [sw_tail, sw_head) gap with a live page, and
the deinit walk never visits them: up to a refill batch worth of pages
and DMA mappin
net/sched: act_ct: fix sk_buff leak when the header checks reject a packet
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ct: fix sk_buff leak when the header checks reject a packet
tcf_ct_handle_fragments() runs its header sanity checks before handing
anything to the defragmentation engine:
if (family == NFPROTO_IPV4)
err = tcf_ct_ipv4_is_fragment(skb, &frag);
else
err = tcf_ct_ipv6_is_fragment(skb, &frag);
if (err || !frag)
return err;
tcf_ct_ipv4_is_fragment() returns -EINVAL or -ENOMEM;
tcf_ct_ipv6_is_fragment() adds -EPROTO when ipv6_find_hdr() fails. None of
them frees or queues the skb, so on that path the caller still owns it.
tcf_ct_act() however funnels eve
net/sched: act_gact, act_police: range check the fallback control action
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_gact, act_police: range check the fallback control action
tcf_action_check_ctrlact() range checks the primary control action:
if (!opcode)
ret = action > TC_ACT_VALUE_MAX ? -EINVAL : 0;
TC_ACT_VALUE_MAX is TC_ACT_TRAP, so kernel-internal verdicts above it
cannot be set that way. But act_gact and act_police each carry a second,
independent control action supplied by user space that never reaches that
helper - TCA_GACT_PROB.paction and TCA_POLICE_RESULT. Both only reject
TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN, so any other value is stored verbatim and returned
verbatim from th
xdp: reject clones that overrun skb_shared_info tailroom
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xdp: reject clones that overrun skb_shared_info tailroom
xdpf_clone() clones broadcast copies into a single page and sets
frame_sz to PAGE_SIZE. __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() later treats that
page like a normal XDP frame and expects the usual skb_shared_info
tailroom at the end of the buffer.
The current check only rejects frames whose linear xdp_frame header,
headroom, and packet data exceed PAGE_SIZE. A source frame backed by a
larger allocation can still satisfy that check while extending into the
clone's required shared-info area. When such a clone is converted back

vxlan: do not arm the ageing timer on a device that is down
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: do not arm the ageing timer on a device that is down
vxlan_changelink() arms vxlan->age_timer whenever the requested ageing
interval differs from the configured one:
if (conf.age_interval != vxlan->cfg.age_interval)
mod_timer(&vxlan->age_timer, jiffies);
There is no netif_running() test, so the timer is armed even on a device
that was never brought up. The only synchronous cancel in the driver is
the timer_delete_sync() in vxlan_stop(), which is .ndo_stop.
netif_close_many() drops devices without IFF_UP before
__dev_close_many() runs, so that cancel is skipped

vsock/virtio: read virtqueues under worker locks
Commit bd50c5dc182b ("vsock/virtio: add support for device
suspend/resume") made the *_run flags transition from false to true when
restore installs replacement virtqueues. The RX, TX and event workers
read their virtqueue before locking and checking the corresponding flag,
so a worker delayed across freeze and restore can observe the replacement
queue's running state while retaining a pointer to the deleted queue.
Read each virtqueue under its mutex after checking the run flag, keeping
the pointer and state in the same que
vsock/virtio: avoid refilling the RX queue after teardown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock/virtio: avoid refilling the RX queue after teardown
Commit b917507e5ad9 ("vsock/virtio: stop workers during the .remove()")
made the RX worker jump to its common exit when rx_run is clear. That
exit still refills the RX queue when the buffer count is low, so work
queued across virtio_vsock_vqs_del() can add buffers after the virtqueues
have been deleted.

tipc: read le->link under the node lock in tipc_node_link_down()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: read le->link under the node lock in tipc_node_link_down()
tipc_node_link_down() caches the link pointer before taking n->lock:
struct tipc_link *l = le->link; /* unlocked */
if (!l)
return;
tipc_node_write_lock(n);
if (!tipc_link_is_establishing(l)) { /* deref l */
...
tipc_link_reset(l); /* write into l */
if (delete) {
kfree(l);
le->link = NULL;
The delete=true caller frees that very object under n->lock, so the lock
does not protect the cached pointer against it:

ring-buffer: Use current_context for safe per-CPU buffer swap
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Use current_context for safe per-CPU buffer swap
The ring_buffer_swap_cpu() function currently checks the per-CPU
committing counter to determine if a buffer is actively being written to
before performing the swap. However, there exists a race window where
this check can be bypassed:
ring_buffer_lock_reserve
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // cpu_buffer_a
rb_reserve_next_event
rb_start_commit // inc committing
if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer) != buffer)) {...}

mm/ptdump: always stabilise against page table freeing using init_mm
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/ptdump: always stabilise against page table freeing using init_mm
Previous commits have established the invariant that kernel page table
freeing is performed while an mmap read lock on init_mm is held, which
fixes races between ptdump and kernel page table freeing over init_mm.
However, x86 and arm64 can perform a ptdump over an mm other than init_mm
via ptdump_walk_pgd() and since kernel memory ranges are shared across
non-kernel mm's, this means that the race still exists for these cases.
Fix this by acquiring a nested mmap write lock for init_mm in
ptdump_walk_pgd()
ipv6: fix Route Information option length validation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix Route Information option length validation
rt6_route_rcv() validates the Route Information option (RFC 4191) length
against the prefix length, but both checks are off by one.
rinfo->length is the ND option length in units of 8 octets and it
*includes* the 8-byte option header, so an option carrying N bytes of
prefix has length == 1 + N/8. RFC 4191 section 2.3 requires length 3
when Prefix Length is greater than 64, and 2 or 3 when it is greater
than 0. The code accepts length >= 2 and length >= 1 respectively.
ipv6_addr_prefix() then copies prefix_len/8 bytes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6_tunnel: clear skb2->cb[] in ip6ip6_err()
ip6ip6_err() clones an outer IPv6 ICMP error skb, pulls it to the
quoted inner IPv6 packet, and then passes the clone to icmpv6_send().
The clone still carries the outer packet's inet6_skb_parm in skb->cb.
If the outer packet had a Home Address Option, IP6CB(skb2)->dsthao
remains non-zero after skb_pull(). icmpv6_send() later calls
mip6_addr_swap(), which uses that stale dsthao offset against the quoted
inner packet. A malformed inner destination-options header can then make
the HAO lookup and address swap run past the end of th
fscrypt: use the mount idmap for the owner check in fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscrypt: use the mount idmap for the owner check in fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy()
fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy() calls inode_owner_or_capable() with
&nop_mnt_idmap before allowing an encryption policy to be set, instead
of the idmap of the mount the ioctl was issued on.
fscrypt is used by filesystems that support idmapped mounts (e.g. ext4,
f2fs), so on such a mount this compares the caller's fsuid against the
unmapped on-disk owner rather than the mapped owner: the actual owner
can be wrongly denied with -EACCES and an unrelated caller wrongly
allowed. Use file_mnt_idmap(filp)
