| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: avoid using uninitialized SIDs in cifs_posix_to_fattr()
cifs_posix_to_fattr() ignores the return value of posix_info_parse().
When a malformed POSIX directory entry is encountered (e.g. invalid
SID lengths from an untrusted server), posix_info_parse() returns -1
without populating the 'parsed' struct. The uninitialized stack
memory in parsed.owner and parsed.group is then passed to
sid_to_id(), which processes the garbage bytes and passes them to
request_key() to construct a SID string, potentially leaking kernel
stack contents to the userspace idmap daemon.
Fix this by checking the return value and skipping the SID-to-id
mapping when parsing fails. The remaining fattr fields (timestamps,
mode, etc.) are populated directly from the 'info' pointer so they
are unaffected. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: initialize _md in vxlan_xmit_one()
If a VXLAN device is configured with both VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA and
VXLAN_F_GBP, and a packet is transmitted through it using an external
ip_tunnel_info that lacks the IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT flag, md is left
pointing to the uninitialized _md stack variable:
if (test_bit(IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT, info->key.tun_flags)) {
if (info->options_len < sizeof(*md))
goto drop;
md = ip_tunnel_info_opts(info);
}
Because IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT is not set, md is not updated and remains
pointing to _md. Later, vxlan_build_skb() is called with md, which
eventually calls vxlan_build_gbp_hdr():
if (vxflags & VXLAN_F_GBP)
vxlan_build_gbp_hdr(vxh, md);
Inside vxlan_build_gbp_hdr(), md->gbp is read:
if (!md->gbp)
return;
gbp = (struct vxlanhdr_gbp *)vxh;
...
if (md->gbp & VXLAN_GBP_DONT_LEARN)
gbp->dont_learn = 1;
If the stack contains garbage, this causes:
1) VXLAN_HF_GBP flag to be spuriously set in the VXLAN header.
2) gbp->dont_learn and gbp->policy_applied to be set from stack bits.
3) gbp->policy_id to receive 16 bits of uninitialized kernel stack data,
leaking it onto the wire.
Fix this by zero-initializing _md. If IP_TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT_BIT is not
present, md->gbp remains 0, and vxlan_build_gbp_hdr() returns early
without modifying the VXLAN header. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel: ethosu: Ensure SRAM region size matches job
It is possible for userspace to set the job SRAM size to 0, but then still
have SRAM accesses in the command stream. When the job SRAM size is 0,
setting the region base register is skipped and a stale base address from
a prior job is used.
Check the region size against the job's SRAM size instead of just the size
of the SRAM. The job's SRAM size was already checked against the total SRAM
size. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: zero-initialize stack-allocated cifs_open_info_data
Stack-allocated cifs_open_info_data may contain random data.
This can make some fields have wrong value if they are not set later. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: Do not cancel requests in io target before it is initialized
A new nvme-fc controller in CONNECTING state sees admin request timeout
schedules ctrl->ioerr_work to abort inflight requests. This ends up
calling __nvme_fc_abort_outstanding_ios() which aborts requests in both
admin and io tagsets. In case fc_ctrl->tag_set was not initialized we
see the warning below. This is because ctrl.queue_count is initialized
early in nvme_fc_alloc_ctrl().
nvme nvme0: NVME-FC{0}: starting error recovery Connectivity Loss
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (asus_rog_ryujin) Validate HID report lengths
rog_ryujin_raw_event() parses response headers and payload fields without
first checking that they are present in the received report. A short report
can therefore make the driver consume uninitialized bytes from the HID
transport buffer and expose them as sensor values through sysfs.
Validate the response header and the fields used by each response type
before parsing them. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Handle buffer allocation failure in bnxt_rx_ring_reset()
bnxt_rx_ring_reset() frees the ring buffers and then reallocates them,
ignoring the result.
bnxt_alloc_one_rx_ring() can fail in bnxt_alloc_one_tpa_info_data(), which
returns -ENOMEM on the first failed allocation and leaves the remaining
rxr->rx_tpa[] entries zeroed.
The error isn't propagated up, so the loop in bnxt_rx_ring_reset
continues and at the end the code re-enables TPA with partially
unallocated rx_tpa array.
This means that when the agg_id from hardware is mapped to a SW index in
rxr->rx_tpa[], an uninitialized slot can be chosen which would hand a
zero DMA address to the device.
Fix this by falling back to a global reset, which is what the existing
code already does when other functions fail, but unlike the other
failure cases this particular failure has to return because TPA can't
be re-enabled since the allocation failed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: initialise error in xfs_defer_finish_one()
xfs_defer_finish_one() declares error without an initialiser and only
assigns it inside the loop over dfp->dfp_work. When that list is empty
the loop body never runs, control falls through to the "Done with the
dfp, free it" path, and the function returns an indeterminate value.
An item-less pending item reaches this through xfs_defer_add_barrier(),
which xfs_reap_ag_blocks() uses on any CONFIG_XFS_ONLINE_REPAIR kernel.
xfs_defer_finish_noroll() treats any non-EAGAIN return as fatal, so a
non-zero stack value turns a successful barrier into a
SHUTDOWN_CORRUPT_INCORE in the middle of a repair. Zero is the correct
result: reaching the free path means the item loop drained without a
non-zero error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Propagate TPA buffer allocation failures in bnxt_queue_mem_alloc()
bnxt_alloc_one_tpa_info_data() returns -ENOMEM as soon as one allocation
fails. This leaves the remaining rxr->rx_tpa[] entries zeroed.
bnxt_queue_mem_alloc() discards that return value, so the partially
initialized ring is installed by bnxt_queue_start().
Since the agg_id is picked by the hardware and bnxt_alloc_agg_idx maps
it to a SW index in rxr->rx_tpa[], it is possible that an uninitialized
slot can be chosen which would hand a zero DMA address to the device.
Fix this by checking the return value of bnxt_alloc_one_tpa_info_data
and unwinding, freeing the ring buffers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: initialize ptp_lock at probe time
priv->ptp_lock is only initialized in stmmac_ptp_register(), which runs
during __stmmac_open(). However, the lock is also used while the
interface is down and has never been opened: tc_taprio_configure()
invokes the PTP gettime64() callback to compute the EST base time when
offloading a TAPRIO schedule, and stmmac_get_time() takes
priv->ptp_lock. Using an uninitialized rwlock is undefined behaviour.
Move the rwlock_init() to __stmmac_dvr_probe(), together with the other
private locks, so that ptp_lock is always valid regardless of the
interface state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel: ethosu: Ensure SRAM size is 0 on mapping failure
On a mapping failure of the SRAM, the SRAM size is left as non-zero. The
probe will succeed as the error return is not checked since having SRAM is
not a hard requirement. The non-zero size allows jobs to access SRAM which
is left pointing to physical base address 0x0. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: initialize policy rwsem before sysfs publication
cpufreq_policy_alloc() initializes policy->rwsem after
kobject_init_and_add() has created the policy sysfs directory and its
default attributes. A sysfs access can therefore reach a policy callback
before the semaphore has been initialized.
Initialize policy->rwsem before publishing the policy kobject so sysfs
callbacks always see an initialized semaphore. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: zero-initialize policy cpumask before sysfs publication
cpufreq_policy_alloc() allocates policy->cpus with alloc_cpumask_var(),
i.e. without __GFP_ZERO, unlike the sibling related_cpus and real_cpus
masks. With CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y the mask is a separate
kmalloc_node() allocation, so its bitmap holds whatever the slab allocator
left behind:
cpufreq_online()
cpufreq_policy_alloc()
alloc_cpumask_var(&policy->cpus) /* bitmap is uninitialized */
kobject_init_and_add() /* policy%u/ appears in sysfs */
cpufreq_policy_online()
cpumask_copy(policy->cpus, cpumask_of(cpu)) /* first valid value */
This leaves a window in which the sysfs attributes are already reachable
while policy->cpus is still garbage. show()/store() gate on
policy_is_inactive(), i.e. cpumask_empty(policy->cpus), so a non-zero
bitmap makes them run the attribute callbacks on a policy that is not
initialized yet.
Fix this by using zalloc_cpumask_var() for policy->cpus. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: sti: initialize IRQ lock before requesting IRQ
uni_reader_init() registers the shared IRQ before initializing
reader->irq_lock. A pending interrupt can invoke the handler while the
lock is still uninitialized.
Initialize the lock before registering the IRQ so the interrupt path
always sees valid lock state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btrtl: Don't leak return code when parsing firmware format v2
When key_id from chip is zero, rtlbt_parse_firmware_v2() intentionally
ignores all security headers. However, the implementation simply breaks
from a switch statement and leaks uninitialized return code `rc' (if the
first section is a security one) or the previous section's `rc'.
Fix it by really skipping a loop with `continue'. For consistency and
readability, also do the same for the default case. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usbusx2y: validate URB actual_length in interrupt callback
i_usx2y_in04_int() processes the interrupt URB data without checking
urb->actual_length. A short transfer from a malfunctioning device
would cause the handler to process uninitialized heap data from the
kmalloc-allocated in04_buf, which is then copied to the mmap-accessible
ctl_snapshot[] array.
Fix by using kzalloc() for in04_buf to zero-initialize the buffer,
and adding an actual_length check to skip processing on short
transfers while still resubmitting the URB. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix uninitialized return value in netfs_unbuffered_write()
If preparation of the first subrequest fails,
netfs_unbuffered_write() exits its loop before ret is initialized. The
empty-iterator check can do the same.
For synchronous writes, netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked() may then
return an unrelated error instead of wreq->error. This is reachable
through CIFS if cifs_prepare_write() fails to reopen the file or obtain
credits.
Initialize ret to 0 so the caller returns wreq->error if no data was
written, or the number of bytes already written otherwise.
Found with Clang's -Wconditional-uninitialized. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix race condition during device registration
In hci_register_dev(), the power_on work item is queued to
hdev->req_workqueue before initializing hdev->adv_monitors_idr and
registering the MSFT extension via msft_register(). For devices marked with
quirks such as HCI_QUIRK_RAW_DEVICE, the HCI_UNCONFIGURED flag is set on
the device. When the power_on work item runs concurrently on another CPU,
hci_power_on() detects that the device is unconfigured and immediately
invokes hci_dev_do_close(), which calls msft_do_close().
Concurrently, msft_register() allocates the msft structure and exposes it
to hdev->msft_data prior to calling mutex_init(&msft->filter_lock). If
msft_do_close() executes while hdev->msft_data is already assigned but the
mutex has not yet been initialized, mutex_lock(&msft->filter_lock) operates
on an uninitialized mutex, triggering a DEBUG_LOCKS warning:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock)

Fix this by moving the queue_work() call in hci_register_dev() to after
idr_init(&hdev->adv_monitors_idr) and msft_register(hdev) so that device
structures and extensions are fully initialized before asynchronous tasks
can access them. Additionally, assign hdev->msft_data in msft_register()
only after mutex_init(&msft->filter_lock) has completed. |
| A use-of-uninitialized memory vulnerability exists in libxls 1.6.3 when parsing malformed XLS files. The issue is reachable via xls_parseWorkBook() and is triggered by uninitialized heap memory originating from the OLE layer (ole2_read). The flaw is detectable with MemorySanitizer (MSAN) and can lead to undefined behavior, incorrect parsing logic, or potential information disclosure. |
| Imager versions before 1.036 for Perl disclose uninitialised heap memory reading a paletted image with pixel indexes past its colour map in i_gpix_p and i_glin_p.
The palette is allocated uninitialised, and only the entries a reader adds count as populated. The TGA reader stores pixel indexes without checking them against the colour map. i_gpix_p() rejects only an index greater than the count, so an index equal to it reads the first unpopulated entry, and getpixel() returns it.
i_glin_p() skips any index at or beyond the count without writing that pixel to the caller's buffer. The palette-to-RGB conversion reads each row through an uninitialised buffer, so those pixels of the converted image hold prior heap contents.
Reading an attacker-supplied image through Imager->read() and then fetching its pixels or converting it to RGB discloses process heap memory. |
