| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nstree: check listing permission before taking a namespace reference
legitimize_ns() takes a reference on the candidate namespace before
may_list_ns() has decided whether the caller may see it. The
__free(ns_put) cleanup on the denied path can drop the last reference to a
mount namespace while we still hold the rcu read lock, and put_mnt_ns()
may sleep there. This is the same problem commit 2ec2aff3c8e2 ("ns: make
sure reference are dropped outside of rcu lock") fixed for the put_user()
path. Neither ns_requested() nor may_list_ns() needs a reference, both
only look at the namespace type and at the caller's own namespaces, so do
the checks first and take the reference last.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: put the "mdio" child node reference on success
macb_mii_init() holds the reference returned by of_get_child_by_name()
for macb_mdiobus_register() and drops it only on the error paths, so
every successful probe leaks a node reference. On a CM5, overlay
removal after four bind cycles reports
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 5
Drop the reference after registration, where __mdiobus_register() has
already taken its own for the lifetime of the bus. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: destroy the phylink instance on the probe error path
macb_mii_init() creates a phylink instance on both of its success paths,
but the probe unwind frees the netdev without destroying it, so a failing
macb_alloc_tieoff() or register_netdev() leaks the instance.
Destroy it at err_out_unregister_mdio, which is only reachable once
macb_mii_init() has succeeded, so bp->phylink is valid there. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: ice: don't dereference pointers from TP_printk()
After forwarding net-next during the v7.3 merge window we started
seeing:
TRACE EVENT ERROR: Event ice_tx_dim_work has double dereference in TP_printk: REC->q_vector->tx.tx_ring->q_index
WARNING: kernel/trace/trace_events.c:420 at test_double_dereference.cold+0x39/0x4b
this is due to extra checks added in tracing subsystem in
commit b5cc230af5e5 ("tracing: Warn when an event dereferences a pointer in TP_printk()").
Printing happens long after the event was recorded, by which point
the pointers may be invalid (the ring or the dim instance).
Copy the eight scalars into the event instead. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_ring: fix stale descriptor flags after a failed packed add
In a packed ring the AVAIL and USED bits sit in the descriptor itself,
so writing them makes that descriptor available. Those bit combinations
flip meaning on every round of the ring, tracked by a wrap counter, so
invalidating or validating a descriptor means inverting both bits.
Commit 1ce9e6055fa0 ("virtio_ring: introduce packed ring support") has
virtqueue_add_packed() make every descriptor of a chain available as it
maps the chain, and write the head last. The device consumes the ring in
order and stops at a head that is not available yet, so it never reaches
the rest.
When vring_map_one_sg() fails partway, unmap_release unmaps the segments
and restores avail_used_flags, but the descriptors it wrote to in the
ring stay marked with AVAIL and USED bits. The head is now the only
entry that keeps the device from consuming these stale entries.
For example, the ring would look like this now.
Z - pre-previous command
A - previous command
B - aborted command
C - current command
[A1 DONE] [A2 DONE] <C1 EMPTY> [B2] [B3] [Z1 DONE]
When the driver now attempts to issue the C command, the next add starts
at the same head as B. If C spans less descriptors than B, there is no
end marker because AVAIL and USED bits were still in place. And that
means the device will start interpreting these stale entries (B2/B3) as
another command entry, which then blocks the queue.
This effect typically happens in swiotlb configurations under memory
pressure, because vring_map_one_sg() can then fail with larger I/O
requests which then leads to command abortions.
There are broadly 2 ways to avoid leaving those flags behind:
1) Defer those flags too until the chain is complete.
2) Rewrite those flags for the previous wrap counter.
Implement the second option in both packed add paths. The first option
traverses the chain a second time on every successful add. The second
option invalidates all added descriptors when any add fails.
With this patch applied, a packed virtqueue keeps completing requests
after a failed add. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vduse: return compat ioctl results directly
The compat handler handles VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD and VDUSE_VQ_GET_INFO, but
then calls the native handler. Their different command sizes make native
dispatch return -ENOIOCTLCMD.
For GET_FD, this overwrites receive_fd()'s return value after the
descriptor is installed, leaking one fd per call. Return handled compat
results directly and use native dispatch only for other commands. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa_sim_net: check TX pull result before RX copy
vringh_iov_pull_iotlb() returns a signed byte count. A failed TX pull is
currently added to the unsigned byte counter and then passed as a size_t
length to receive_filter() and vringh_iov_push_iotlb(). A negative error
can therefore become a large length in the RX path.
Handle non-positive pull results before every length use. Count the TX
error and complete the consumed TX descriptor with zero bytes.
I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: platform: Use acpi_bus_get_primary_device()
The acpi_get_first_physical_node() usage in acpi_platform_fill_resource()
and acpi_create_platform_device() is generally unsafe because in theory
the device returned by it may be freed at any time [1].
It is also inefficient because acpi_get_first_physical_node() is called
multiple times for the same argument which can be avoided.
Address these issues by using acpi_bus_get_primary_device() instead of
acpi_get_first_physical_node() and adjusting the code to call it just
once at the beginning of and acpi_create_platform_device() and drop
the device reference acquired by it upon the return from that function. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Create debugfs entries after hwmon registration
ccp_debugfs_init() registers debugfs files whose private data is the devm
allocated ccp. It runs before hwmon_device_register_with_info(), so when
that registration fails, ccp_probe() returns with the files still in
place. The HID core then frees ccp, and ccp_remove() is not called for a
failed probe, so nothing removes them later either. Reading one of the
files dereferences the freed pointer.
Create the debugfs entries only after the hwmon device has been
registered, so no failing path can leave them behind.
The two version queries stay where they are. They send USB commands
without holding ccp->mutex, which is only safe as long as nothing else
can call send_usb_cmd(); once the hwmon device is registered its
callbacks can do so concurrently. Only the debugfs creation moves, and
it is told which queries succeeded. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: Fix UAF of btusb_data by rx_work
btusb_close() and btusb_flush() cancel data->rx_work with the
asynchronous cancel_delayed_work(), so if btusb_rx_work() is already
running on another CPU it keeps running after the cancel returns.
btusb_disconnect() calls hci_unregister_dev(), which invokes
btusb_close(), and then frees the btusb_data. A still running
btusb_rx_work() then dereferences the freed data:
while ((skb = skb_dequeue(&data->acl_q)))
data->recv_acl(data->hdev, skb);
Use cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. In btusb_close() the cancel also
has to happen after btusb_stop_traffic(), otherwise an URB completion
racing with the cancel can requeue the work right after it has been
waited for. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Count dropped frames as NAPI work
The RX loop only consumes budget when it successfully delivers a frame.
Error paths keep consuming descriptors without reducing the budget, so a
stream of bad frames can process the entire receive ring in one poll.
Move the budget accounting to a common end-of-frame path. This counts
each completed frame as NAPI work whether it was delivered or dropped,
matching the behavior of the vendor driver. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Fix budget accounting
The gmac_rx() function returns the remaining NAPI budget, but its
caller treats the return value as the number of packets received. An
idle poll therefore reports a full budget and remains scheduled.
Return the number of received packets instead. Preserve the existing
free queue refill accounting by adding that count directly; continuing
to subtract it from the budget would invert the refill behavior. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_input: stop callbacks before unregistering input device
virtinput_remove() unregisters the input device before resetting the
virtio device. virtinput_recv_events() drops vi->lock around input_event(),
so clearing vi->ready does not stop a callback that passed the entry check.
It can still use vi->idev, requeue buffers and kick the queue.
Reset first, as virtinput_freeze() already does. With the preceding core
change, reset waits for callbacks before input_unregister_device() can
free vi->idev. Recheck vi->ready after taking the lock again: keep draining
completed events so an input packet is not truncated, but stop requeueing
buffers and kicking the queue.
With evdev attached, input_unregister_handle() currently waits for an RCU
grace period, which also waits out IRQ callbacks. This masks the lifetime
bug on PCI and MMIO, but does not protect sleepable callbacks on other
transports. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_input: reset device if input_register_device() fails
Probe marks the device DRIVER_OK with virtio_device_ready() before
calling input_register_device(). If registration fails, the error path
cleared vi->ready and called del_vqs() while the device was still live,
so the device could keep DMA to queues that were already torn down.
Match remove/freeze: call virtio_reset_device() on that path before
tearing down the virtqueues. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vduse: validate virtqueue alignment
vduse_validate_config() only checks the upper bound of vq_align. Invalid
values can therefore reach vring_create_virtqueue_map(). The split-ring
helpers use align - 1 as a bit mask, so the alignment must be a non-zero
power of two. A zero value makes vring_size() drop the descriptor and
available-ring part and vring_init() leave the used ring pointer NULL.
The VIRTIO spec requires the used ring to start at an address
aligned to at least 4 bytes. Reject values below VRING_USED_ALIGN_SIZE as
well as non-power-of-two values before they reach the virtio ring helpers.
Opening a virtio-net device created with vq_align=0 triggered:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-vdpa: protect config_ctx from being freed under the config callback
vhost_vdpa_config_cb() loads v->config_ctx and signals it without taking
a reference and without holding any lock:
struct eventfd_ctx *config_ctx = v->config_ctx;
if (config_ctx)
eventfd_signal(config_ctx);
VHOST_VDPA_SET_CONFIG_CALL replaces that field and drops what is normally
the last reference to the old context:
swap(ctx, v->config_ctx);
if (ctx)
eventfd_ctx_put(ctx);
eventfd_ctx_put() drops the last kref and frees the context immediately,
with no RCU grace period, so a callback that has already loaded the
pointer goes on to dereference freed memory. The two sides share no
lock: the ioctl runs under vhost_dev.mutex, while the parent invokes the
callback from its own interrupt or workqueue context.
This is not the reopen refcount underflow fixed by commit f6bbf0010ba0
("vhost-vdpa: fix use-after-free of v->config_ctx"), which was about
vhost_vdpa_config_put() leaving a stale pointer behind. Here the pointer
is maintained correctly and it is the read side that is unprotected.
With VDUSE as the parent this is reachable from userspace with access to
/dev/vduse (root by default). VDUSE_DEV_INJECT_CONFIG_IRQ queues
dev->inject, and vduse_dev_irq_inject() runs the callback under VDUSE's
own dev->irq_lock, which vhost does not hold. vduse_dev_reset() does
flush_work(&dev->inject), but VHOST_VDPA_SET_CONFIG_CALL never goes
through reset, so an inject already in flight is not waited for. A
process that injects config interrupts on the VDUSE fd while another
thread swaps the call fd on the vhost-vdpa fd hits it in seconds:

Add a spinlock covering every access to config_ctx, so the callback
either signals a context that is still alive or observes NULL, and the
put happens only once no callback can reach the old value.
Clearing the parent's callback before the put would not be enough: of the
in-tree set_config_cb() implementations only VDUSE takes a lock, the rest
store the pointer unlocked, so that would not order against an in-flight
invocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix transaction overflow during writeback
Commit 95ad8ee45cdb ("ext4: correct the reserved credits for extent
conversion") was correct to note that we need to reserve enough credits
for all extents possibly underlying a large folio. However it was too
eager to reduce the number of reserved credits. Extent conversion may
not only need to touch several leaf extent blocks, it may also need to
split extents - for example a single large unwritten extent may need to
be split into many small written ones in case of sparse folio dirtying.
This can thus result not only in extent leaf modifications but also in a
need to allocate new extent tree nodes. As a result the reserved
transaction credits were not sufficient in some corner cases. Use
ext4_meta_trans_blocks() for correct upper bound credit estimate. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Fix srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() unwind counters
When srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() fails partway through a multi-buffer indirect
descriptor, the unwind path destroys RDMA contexts but leaves stale
n_rw_ctx and n_rdma values (and a dangling rw_ctxs pointer). Later
sq_wr_avail accounting in srpt_queue_response() or srpt_write_pending()
can then subtract the wrong number of send queue credits.
Reset the counters and clear rw_ctxs after freeing the heap
allocation before returning an error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-vdpa: don't install the eventfd_ctx_fdget() error in config_ctx
vhost_vdpa_set_config_call() swaps the eventfd_ctx_fdget() return value
into v->config_ctx before checking it, so on failure the field briefly
holds an ERR_PTR:
ctx = fd == VHOST_FILE_UNBIND ? NULL : eventfd_ctx_fdget(fd);
swap(ctx, v->config_ctx);
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(ctx))
eventfd_ctx_put(ctx);
if (IS_ERR(v->config_ctx)) {
long ret = PTR_ERR(v->config_ctx);
v->config_ctx = NULL;
return ret;
}
Commit 0bde59c1723a ("vhost-vdpa: set v->config_ctx to NULL if
eventfd_ctx_fdget() fails") added that clearing, and spelled out the
invariant the rest of the file relies on: "we consider 'v->config_ctx'
valid if it is not NULL". The window between the swap and the clearing
still breaks it. vhost_vdpa_config_cb() only tests for NULL, so a config
interrupt delivered inside the window hands the ERR_PTR to
eventfd_signal().
Check the fd before installing it instead. That closes the window and
matches how vhost_vring_ioctl() handles the same failure for the vq call
fd.
It also stops a rejected fd from tearing down a config interrupt that was
working: until now the swap replaced the live context and put it, so
after an EBADF the device silently stopped delivering config interrupts
until userspace installed a new fd. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/vdpa: reject VRING_NUM larger than device max
vhost_vring_set_num() accepts any non-zero power-of-two queue size that
fits in 16 bits. vhost-vdpa then passes that value to set_vq_num()
without comparing it with get_vq_num_max().
A process with access to /dev/vhost-vdpa-* can therefore configure a
queue larger than the device advertises. With vdpa_sim, the worker can
walk descriptors beyond the mapped descriptor ring. KASAN reports a
16-byte out-of-bounds read, corresponding to one vring_desc, in the
vringh IOTLB path:
BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in _copy_from_iter
Read of size 16
copy_from_iotlb
copydesc_iotlb
vringh_getdesc_iotlb
vdpasim_net_work
Cache get_vq_num_max() immediately after reset. Some backends derive
it from writable queue-size state, so querying it after SET_NUM may
return the current size instead of the device capability. Invalidate
the cached value before reset so a failed reset leaves SET_NUM
disabled.
For VHOST_SET_VRING_NUM, copy the complete vring state once and use
the same index and size for validation, vq->num, and set_vq_num().
This ensures that validation and use operate on the same copied values. |
