| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: mgmt: fix 'hdev->discovery.uuids' NULL dereference
'uuid_count' member of struct 'discovery_state' is assigned and read
without any locks, so there is a chance of situation when
uuid_count != 0, but uuids is NULL and there will be NULL pointer
dereference.
Possible race:
'hci_update_passive_scan_sync'
'hci_discovery_filter_clear'
hdev->discovery.uuid_count = 0;
<----------------------preempted----------------------------->
'start_service_discovery'
// Set uuid_count to value != 0
hdev->discovery.uuid_count = uuid_count;
hdev->discovery.uuids = kmemdup(...);
<----------------------preempted----------------------------->
spin_lock(&hdev->discovery.lock);
kfree(hdev->discovery.uuids);
hdev->discovery.uuids = NULL;
spin_unlock(&hdev->discovery.lock);
Now uuids == NULL and uuid_count != 0.
So 'mgmt_device_found' -> 'is_filter_match' -> 'eir_has_uuids' receives
non consistent discovery state, where NULL dereference of uuids happens.
To fix it let's add discovery.lock around every read/write of uuid_count,
uuids pair of struct members. It is also important to assign uuid_count
value only after success kmemdup() allocation in
start_service_discovery(), otherwise uuids is NULL, because kmemdup failed,
but uuid_count is already assigned to non zero value.
The following panic happens:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: bcm2835: Don't remove an unregistered GPIO chip
If the devm_pinctrl_register() function fails,
bcm2835_pinctrl_probe() calls gpiochip_remove()
before gpiochip_add_data() has registered the GPIO chip.
This means that upon failure the gpio_chip.gpiodev
is NULL resulting in a null pointer dereference
inside the gpiochip_remove() function.
Remove the unnecessary function call to gpiochip_remove().
No GPIO cleanup is required because the GPIO chip
has not yet been registered. Without this change there
is potential for a kernel panic upon registration failure |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/lockdep: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __lock_set_class()
register_lock_class() can return NULL when the lock class pool is
exhausted, graph_lock() fails, or key validation fails. However,
__lock_set_class() uses the return value directly in pointer arithmetic
without a NULL check:
class = register_lock_class(lock, subclass, 0);
hlock->class_idx = class - lock_classes;
If class is NULL, this computes a wild offset that corrupts
hlock->class_idx. The subsequent reacquire_held_locks() call will
invoke hlock_class() with this corrupted index, leading to a NULL or
out-of-bounds pointer dereference.
Add the missing NULL check, consistent with how __lock_acquire() already
handles this case at the same call site. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disallow interpreter fallback for BPF_ADDR_PERCPU insn
The BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG insn requires JIT to emit native code to for
'dst_reg = src_reg + <percpu_base_off>'.
However, the interpreter ignores the 'off' at its ALU64_MOV_X label.
The 'off' indicates the insn is BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG insn. Then, when
the interpreter loads memory from the register, it will hit a page
fault.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: tps6594: Fix device node reference leaks in multiphase loop
In tps6594_regulator_probe(), the multi-phase configuration loop calls
of_find_node_by_name() to find buck nodes by name, and of_get_parent()
twice to navigate to the PMIC parent node. None of the acquired node
references (np, intermediate parent, np_pmic_parent) are ever released
via of_node_put(), causing a reference leak on every loop iteration.
Additionally, of_find_node_by_name() can return NULL, but the result was
immediately passed to of_node_full_name() and of_get_parent() without a
NULL check, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by:
- Adding a NULL check for np after of_find_node_by_name()
- Storing the intermediate parent node in a local variable np_parent
- Calling of_node_put() on np, np_parent and np_pmic_parent at the
end of each loop iteration |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: davinci: avoid NULL deref of host->data in IRQ handler
mmc_davinci_irq() returns early only when both host->cmd and
host->data are NULL:
if (host->cmd == NULL && host->data == NULL) {
...
return IRQ_NONE;
}
So we may legitimately reach the rest of the handler with
host->data == NULL (and therefore data == NULL). The DATDNE branch
already guards against this with an explicit "if (data != NULL)"
check, but the subsequent TOUTRD ("read data timeout") and
CRCWR/CRCRD ("data CRC error") branches dereference data
unconditionally:
if (qstatus & MMCST0_TOUTRD) {
data->error = -ETIMEDOUT; <-- NULL deref
...
davinci_abort_data(host, data);
}
if (qstatus & (MMCST0_CRCWR | MMCST0_CRCRD)) {
data->error = -EILSEQ; <-- NULL deref
...
}
If either bit is set in qstatus while host->data is NULL, the kernel
will crash inside the IRQ handler. smatch flags this:
drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c:933 mmc_davinci_irq() error: we
previously assumed 'data' could be null (see line 914)
Gate both branches on a non-NULL data, matching the existing pattern
used by the DATDNE branch.
No functional change for callers where data is non-NULL, which is
the only case in which these branches did meaningful work before
this change. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ixp4xx - fix buffer chain unwind on allocation failure
chainup_buffers() builds a linked list of buffer descriptors for a
scatterlist. If dma_pool_alloc() fails while constructing the list, the
current code sets buf to NULL and later dereferences it unconditionally
at the end of the function:
buf->next = NULL;
buf->phys_next = 0;
This can lead to a null-pointer dereference on allocation failure.
If the failure happens after part of the descriptor chain has already
been allocated and DMA-mapped, the partially constructed chain also
needs to be released.
Fix this by terminating the partially constructed chain on allocation
failure and letting the callers unwind it via their existing cleanup
paths. Also fix ablk_perform() to preserve the hook pointers before
checking for failure, so partially built chains can be freed correctly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: appletalk: fix NULL pointer dereference in aarp_send_ddp()
aarp_send_ddp() calls atalk_find_dev_addr(dev) in the LocalTalk fast
path without checking for NULL. When the device has no AppleTalk
interface configured (dev->atalk_ptr == NULL), this leads to a NULL
pointer dereference at the at->s_net access.
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dm1105: fix missing error check for dma_alloc_coherent
The return value of dm1105_dma_map(), which handles DMA memory allocation,
is ignored in dm1105_hw_init(). If dma_alloc_coherent() fails, the driver
will proceed using a NULL pointer for DMA transfers, leading to a kernel
oops or invalid hardware access.
Fix this by checking the return value and propagating -ENOMEM on failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: Add NULL check for chip->edcca_th in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
It was recently reported that rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
in fw.c dereferences rtwdev->chip->edcca_th without
a NULL check. The issue is that devices with the
8821CE chip don't define edcca_th in their chip
info. As a result, when rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
tries to dereference it, the kernel triggers an oops.
Add a NULL check for edcca_th before dereferencing
it in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() in fw.c. Placing
the check at the function entry avoids logging any
garbage values.
This change does not address the root cause for
this behavior, but it prevents the NULL dereference
and the resulting oops while a more permanent solution
is developed.
Tested on a 8822CE chip which defines edcca_th, so
this issue is not present on it, but it still uses
this driver and I can verify there are no regressions. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix null pointer dereference in devcoredump cleanup
In xe_devcoredump_snapshot_free(), ss->gt may be NULL when the snapshot
was never fully populated (e.g., when cleanup is triggered without a
prior capture). Guard the xe_guc_capture_put_matched_nodes() call with
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to prevent a null dereference.
In xe_devcoredump_free(), the deferred work is only queued when a
coredump is captured, so guard cancel_work_sync() with a check on
coredump->captured. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: Add NULL check for spi_get_device_id() in spi_get_device_match_data()
Prevent NULL pointer dereference when spi_get_device_id() returns NULL,
which can happen when using driver_override without matching SPI ID entry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: balance: fix potential bg lookup failure in btrfs_may_alloc_data_chunk()
[BUG]
Running btrfs balance can trigger a null-ptr-deref before relocating a
data chunk when metadata corruption leaves a chunk in the chunk tree
without a corresponding block group in the in-memory cache:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000088-0x000000000000008f]
RIP: 0010:btrfs_may_alloc_data_chunk+0x40/0x1c0 fs/btrfs/volumes.c:3601
Call Trace:
__btrfs_balance fs/btrfs/volumes.c:4217 [inline]
btrfs_balance+0x2516/0x42b0 fs/btrfs/volumes.c:4604
btrfs_ioctl_balance fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:3577 [inline]
btrfs_ioctl+0x25cf/0x5b90 fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:5313
...
[CAUSE]
__btrfs_balance() iterates the on-disk chunk tree and passes the chunk
logical bytenr to btrfs_may_alloc_data_chunk() before relocating a data
chunk. That helper then queries the in-memory block group cache:
cache = btrfs_lookup_block_group(fs_info, chunk_offset);
chunk_type = cache->flags; /* cache may be NULL */
A corrupt image can contain a chunk item whose matching block group
item is missing, so no block group is ever inserted into the cache. In
that case btrfs_lookup_block_group() returns NULL.
The code only guards this with ASSERT(cache), which becomes a no-op when
CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT is disabled. The subsequent dereference of
cache->flags therefore crashes the kernel.
[FIX]
Add a NULL check after btrfs_lookup_block_group() in
btrfs_may_alloc_data_chunk() and print and error message for clarity. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: es18xx: check control allocation before private data setup
snd_es18xx_mixer() creates controls with snd_ctl_new1() and then stores
bookkeeping pointers or sets private_free before calling snd_ctl_add().
snd_ctl_new1() can return NULL on allocation failure, so those writes
can dereference a NULL control pointer.
Check the returned control pointers before using them and return -ENOMEM
on allocation failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbip: vhci_hcd: fix NULL deref in status_show_vhci
platform_get_drvdata() can return NULL if a VHCI host controller's
probe failed (e.g. due to USB bus number exhaustion). status_show_vhci()
checked for a NULL pdev but not for a NULL hcd returned by
platform_get_drvdata(). Passing NULL to hcd_to_vhci_hcd() does not
return NULL - it returns a pointer offset of 0x260, causing a NULL
pointer dereference when that value is subsequently dereferenced.
Add a NULL check on hcd before calling hcd_to_vhci_hcd(). Move
status_show_not_ready() above status_show_vhci() to make it callable
from the new error path without a forward declaration. |

ASoC: mediatek: mt8365-afe-pcm: fix possible NULL-pointer dereferences in mt8365_afe_suspend()
mt8365_afe_suspend() allocates the register backup buffer with
devm_kcalloc(), but does not check for allocation failure before using the
returned pointer. This may lead to a NULL pointer dereference when
accessing afe->reg_back_up[i].
Add the missing NULL check and return -ENOMEM on allocation failure after
disabling the main clock.
Also propagate the return value of mt8365_afe_suspend() in
mt8365_afe_dev_runtime_suspend() so that the suspended state is not updated
when suspend fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Avoid DPMS-on for phantom stream
[Why & How]
Calling dc_update_planes_and_stream separately for stream and its
phantom stream causes a NULL pointer dereference, since the phantom is
destroyed on the first call.
Skip the call for phantom streams. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ns_custom_package()
acpi_ns_custom_package() unconditionally dereferences the first element
of the package to read the _BIX version number, without checking for
NULL:
if ((*Elements)->Common.Type != ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER)
When firmware returns a _BIX package whose first element is an
unresolvable reference, ACPICA evaluates that entry to NULL.
acpi_ns_remove_null_elements() does not strip NULL entries for
ACPI_PTYPE_CUSTOM packages (fixed-position format would break if
elements were shifted), so acpi_ns_custom_package() sees the NULL
and causes a crash.
Add a NULL check for the first element (version field) before
dereferencing it. The caller then receives AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE
instead of crashing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: goku_udc: avoid NULL deref of dev->driver in INT_USBRESET log
goku_irq() handles a number of bus events under a single ep0 path.
It already guards the gadget driver suspend/resume callbacks against a
NULL ->driver:
if (dev->gadget.speed != USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN
&& dev->driver
&& dev->driver->resume) {
spin_unlock(&dev->lock);
dev->driver->resume(&dev->gadget);
...
}
but the very next branch unconditionally dereferences dev->driver
when an INT_USBRESET arrives:
if (stat & INT_USBRESET) {
ACK(INT_USBRESET);
INFO(dev, "USB reset done, gadget %s\n",
dev->driver->driver.name);
}
If the controller raises INT_USBRESET before any gadget driver has
been bound (or after one has been unbound), dev->driver is NULL and
the printk dereferences NULL.
smatch flags the inconsistency:
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/goku_udc.c:1618 goku_irq() error:
we previously assumed 'dev->driver' could be null (see line 1607)
Fall back to a placeholder when the gadget driver is not bound.
No functional change while a gadget driver is bound. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: 8250: protect against NULL uart->port.dev in register
serial8250_register_8250_port() conditionally copies uart->port.dev
from up->port.dev only when up->port.dev is non-NULL:
if (up->port.dev) {
uart->port.dev = up->port.dev;
...
}
So if both the existing uart slot and up have a NULL ->dev,
uart->port.dev remains NULL. The very next ACPI companion check
then dereferences it unconditionally:
if (!has_acpi_companion(uart->port.dev)) {
has_acpi_companion() reads dev->fwnode without a NULL guard
(include/linux/acpi.h), so this NULL-derefs the kernel for the
remaining no-dev case rather than just skipping the
mctrl_gpio_init() initialisation as intended.
smatch flags the inconsistency:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:767
serial8250_register_8250_port() error: 'uart->port.dev' could be
null (see line 719)
Guard the call with a NULL check so register continues to work
for callers that legitimately have no parent device (legacy
non-OF/non-ACPI registrations).
No functional change for callers that pass a non-NULL ->dev. |
