spi: ep93xx: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to the clear the DMA channel pointers on setup failure to
avoid dereferencing an error pointer on later probe errors or driver
unbind.
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch. |

spi: sprd: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to check the dma.enabled flag before trying to release the DMA
channels also on late probe errors to avoid dereferencing an error
pointer (or attempting to release a channel a second time).

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kho: skip KHO for crash kernel
kho_fill_kimage() unconditionally populates the kimage with KHO
metadata for every kexec image type. When the image is a crash kernel,
this can be problematic as the crash kernel can run in a small reserved
region and the KHO scratch areas can sit outside it.
The crash kernel then faults during kho_memory_init() when it
tries phys_to_virt() on the KHO FDT address:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx
...
fdt_offset_ptr+...
fdt_check_node_offset_+...
fdt_first_property_offset+...
fdt_get_property_namelen_+...
fdt_getprop+...
kho_memory_init+...
mm_core_init+...
start_kernel+...
kho_locate_mem_hole() already skips KHO logic for KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH
images, but kho_fill_kimage() was missing the same guard. As
kho_fill_kimage() is the single point that populates image->kho.fdt
and image->kho.scratch, fixing it here is sufficient for both arm64
and x86 as the FDT and boot_params path are bailing out when these
fields are unset. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration
The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an
id_table and dereferences it unconditionally. Enforce that contract at
registration time so a buggy client driver cannot crash the bus during
match. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: integrator: Fix early initialization
Starting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 ("ARM: integrator: read counter using
syscon/regmap"), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
which in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.
Since the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,
the call always fails. It either returns -ENOMEM or crashes as follows.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c when read
[0000000c] *pgd=00000000

The crash is seen due to a dereferenced pointer which is not supposed to be
NULL but is NULL if the memory management subsystem has not been
initialized. The crash is not seen with all versions of gcc. Some versions
such as gcc 9.x apparently do not dereference the pointer, presumably if
tracing is disabled. The problem has been reproduced with gcc 10.x, 11.x,
and 13.x. Either case, if the crash is not seen, the call to
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible returns -ENOMEM, and
sched_clock_register is never called.
Fix the problem by moving the early initialization code into the standard
machine initialization code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Don't setup bogus iov_iter for silencing
At transition to the iov_iter for PCM data transfer, we blindly
applied the iov_iter setup also for silencing (i.e. data = NULL), and
it leads to a calculation of bogus iov_iter. Fortunately this didn't
cause troubles on most of architectures but it goes wrong on RISC-V
now, causing a NULL dereference.
Handle the NULL data case to treat the silencing in interleaved_copy()
for addressing the bug above. noninterleaved_copy() has already the
NULL data handling, so it doesn't need changes. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethtool: fix NULL pointer dereference in phy_reply_size
In phy_prepare_data(), several strings such as 'name', 'drvname',
'upstream_sfp_name', and 'downstream_sfp_name' are allocated using
kstrdup(). However, these allocations were not checked for failure.
If kstrdup() fails for 'name', it returns NULL while the function
continues. This leads to a kernel NULL pointer dereference and panic
later in phy_reply_size() when it unconditionally calls strlen() on
the NULL pointer.
While other strings like 'upstream_sfp_name' might be checked before
access in certain code paths, failing to handle these allocations
consistently can lead to incomplete data reporting or hidden bugs.
Fix this by adding proper NULL checks for all kstrdup() calls in
phy_prepare_data() and implement a centralized error handling path
using goto labels to ensure all previously allocated resources are
freed on failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: drop ISO_END frames received without prior ISO_START
ISO data PDUs carry a packet-boundary flag indicating START, CONT, END
or SINGLE. The ISO_CONT branch of iso_recv() guards against a missing
ISO_START by checking conn->rx_len before touching conn->rx_skb, but
ISO_END does not.
If a peer sends an ISO_END as the first packet on a fresh ISO
connection, conn->rx_skb is still NULL and conn->rx_len is zero, so
skb_put(conn->rx_skb, ...) dereferences NULL and oopses. For BIS,
where receivers sync to a broadcaster without pairing, any broadcaster
on the air can trigger this.
Mirror the ISO_CONT check at the top of ISO_END so a stray end fragment
is logged and dropped instead of crashing the host. |
| Null pointer dereference in Windows Graphics Kernel allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network. |
| SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix NULL-deref of opinfo->conn in oplock/lease break notifiers
smb2_oplock_break_noti() and smb2_lease_break_noti() read opinfo->conn
into a local with neither READ_ONCE() nor a NULL check. Both run from
oplock_break() after opinfo_get_list() has dropped ci->m_lock, so a
concurrent SMB2 LOGOFF (session_fd_check()) can set op->conn = NULL
under ci->m_lock within that window. ksmbd_conn_r_count_inc(conn) then
writes through NULL at offset 0xc4 -- a remotely triggerable oops.
Guard both reads the way compare_guid_key() already does: read
opinfo->conn with READ_ONCE() and return early if it is NULL, before
allocating the work struct so nothing leaks. A NULL conn means the
client is gone and the break is moot, so return 0; oplock_break() treats
that as success and runs the normal teardown. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE creation if BPF LSM is uninitialized
When CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is set, BPF inode storage maps
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE) are compiled into the kernel. However,
if the BPF LSM is not explicitly enabled at boot time (e.g. omitted
from the "lsm=" boot parameter), lsm_prepare() is never executed for
the BPF LSM.
Consequently, the BPF inode security blob offset
(bpf_lsm_blob_sizes.lbs_inode) is never initialized and remains at
its default compiled size of 8 bytes instead of being updated to a
valid offset past the reserved struct rcu_head (typically 16 bytes
or more).
When a privileged user creates and updates a BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE
map, bpf_inode() evaluates inode->i_security + 8. This erroneously
aliases the struct rcu_head.func callback pointer at the beginning
of the inode->i_security blob. During subsequent map element cleanup
or inode destruction, writing NULL to owner_storage clears the queued
RCU callback pointer. When rcu_do_batch() later executes the queued
callback, it attempts an instruction fetch at address 0x0, triggering
an immediate kernel panic.
Fix this by introducing a global bpf_lsm_initialized boolean flag
marked with __ro_after_init. Set this flag to true inside bpf_lsm_init()
when the LSM framework successfully registers the BPF LSM. Gate map
allocation in inode_storage_map_alloc() on this flag, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP if the BPF LSM is in turn uninitialized.
This fail-fast approach prevents userspace from allocating inode
storage maps when the supporting BPF LSM infrastructure is absent,
avoiding zombie map states. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: driver: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe
Since every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't
match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(),
platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion
object should verify its presence.
Accordingly, add requisite ACPI_COMPANION() or ACPI_HANDLE() checks
against NULL to 13 platform drivers handling core ACPI devices.
Also change the value returned by the ACPI thermal zone driver when
the device's ACPI companion is not present to -ENODEV for consistency
with the other drivers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethtool: phy: avoid NULL deref when PHY driver is unbound
phydev->drv can become NULL while the phy_device is still attached to
its net_device, namely after the PHY driver is unbound via sysfs:
echo <mdio_id> > /sys/bus/mdio_bus/drivers/<phy_drv>/unbind
phy_remove() clears phydev->drv but doesn't call phy_detach(), so the
phy_device stays in the link topology xarray and ethnl_req_get_phydev()
still hands it back. ETHTOOL_MSG_PHY_GET then oopses on:
rep_data->drvname = kstrdup(phydev->drv->name, GFP_KERNEL);
drvname is already treated as optional by phy_reply_size(),
phy_fill_reply() and phy_cleanup_data(), so just skip the allocation
when there is no driver bound. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Disable broadcast TLB flush when PCID is disabled
Booting with "nopcid" clears X86_FEATURE_PCID and keeps CR4.PCIDE from being
set to one. On AMD CPUs that support INVLPGB, broadcast TLB flushing remains
enabled.
There are two checks that decide whether the global ASID code runs,
mm_global_asid() and consider_global_asid(), that key off of the
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB feature. Once an mm becomes active on more than three
CPUs, consider_global_asid() assigns it a global ASID, after which
flush_tlb_mm_range() takes the broadcast_tlb_flush() path using a non-zero
PCID. Issuing an INVLPGB with a non-zero PCID while CR4.PCIDE is not set
results in a #GP:
Oops: general protection fault, kernel NULL pointer dereference 0x1: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

All processors that support broadcast TLB invalidation also have PCID support,
so it is only the "nopcid" scenario that is of concern. In this situation just
disable the broadcast TLB support using the CPUID dependency support by making
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB dependent on X86_FEATURE_PCID.

wifi: ath12k: fix NULL pointer dereference in rhash table destroy
When unbinding the ath12k driver, kernel NULL pointer dereferences
occur in irq_work_sync() called from rhashtable_destroy().
Two hash tables are affected:
1. ath12k_link_sta hash table in ath12k_base
2. ath12k_dp_link_peer hash table in ath12k_dp
The issue happens because the destroy functions are called unconditionally
in cleanup paths, but the hash tables are only initialized late in their
respective init functions. If the device was never fully started or if the
init functions failed before initializing the hash tables, the pointers
will be NULL. The issues are always reproducible from a VM because the MSI
addressing initialization is failing.

ath12k_core_hw_group_cleanup+0x6b/0xb0 [ath12k]
ath12k_pci_remove+0x60/0x110 [ath12k]
Fix this by adding NULL checks before calling rhashtable_destroy() in
both destroy functions.
The NULL check approach was chosen because the rhashtable pointer
serves as the initialization state indicator. The init can fail at
various points, leaving some components uninitialized. Checking the
pointer directly is simpler than adding separate state flags that
would need synchronization. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: fix reversed error cleanup order in ucopy functions
nouveau_uvmm_vm_bind_ucopy() and nouveau_exec_ucopy() place their error
cleanup labels in allocation order rather than reverse allocation order.
On a u_memcpya() failure for in_sync.s, the goto to err_free_ops (or
err_free_pushs) frees the first allocation and then falls through to
err_free_ins, which calls u_free() on args->in_sync.s.
Since args->in_sync.s still holds the ERR_PTR returned by the failed
u_memcpya(), and ERR_PTR values are not caught by ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(),
kvfree() proceeds to dereference it, which can result in a kernel oops.
A failure for out_sync.s instead jumps to err_free_ins and skips freeing
the first allocation, leading to a memory leak.
Fix by swapping the cleanup label order so resources are freed in the
correct reverse allocation sequence. |
