| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix memory leak in xfs_dqinode_metadir_create()
If xfs_metadir_create() fails in xfs_dqinode_metadir_create(), the current
code returns directly, leaking the allocated update and transaction state.
If the subsequent commit fails, the caller-owned inode reference is left
behind.
Fix this memory leak by routing the create failure path through
xfs_metadir_cancel(). For both create and commit failures, finish and
release any inode returned to the caller, mirroring the unwind pattern in
xfs_metadir_mkdir().
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1.1.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. Runtime validation
used kprobe fault injection during `mount -o uquota` on a metadir XFS
image. Injecting xfs_metadir_create() reproduced the old active-update path
that left mount stuck later in mount setup; after this change, the same
injection reported cancel_hits=1 and irele_hits=1. Injecting
xfs_metadir_commit() exercised the old inode-reference leak path; after
this change, it reported irele_hits=1. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix exchmaps reservation limit check
xfs_exchmaps_estimate_overhead() adds the bmbt and rmapbt
overhead to a local resblks variable, but the final UINT_MAX
check still tests req->resblks. That is the reservation value
from before the overhead was added.
The computed value is stored back in req->resblks and later passed
to xfs_trans_alloc(), whose block reservation argument is unsigned
int. Check the computed reservation so the existing limit applies
to the value that will be used. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mtk-jpeg: cancel workqueue on release for supported platforms only
Since a recent fix the mtk_jpeg_release function cancels any pending
or running work present in the driver workqueue using
cancel_work_sync function.
Currently, only the multicore based variants use this workqueue and they
have the jpeg_worker platform data field initialized with a workqueue
callback function. For the others, this field value remain NULL by
default.
The cancel_work_sync function is unconditionally called in
mtk_jpeg_release function, even for the variants that do not use the
workqueue. This call generates a WARN_ON print in __flush_work because
the workqueue callback function presence check fails in __flush_work
function (used by cancel_work_sync).
So, to avoid these warnings, call cancel_work_sync only if a workqueue
callback is defined in platform data. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: reject CLEAN_SEGMENTS ioctl with out-of-range segment numbers
Syzbot reported a hung task in nilfs_transaction_begin() where multiple
tasks performing chmod() on a nilfs2 mount blocked for over 143 seconds
waiting to acquire ns_segctor_sem for read:

nilfs_ioctl+0x261f/0x2780
The root cause is that user-supplied segment numbers are not validated
before nilfs_clean_segments() begins doing work; the range check on
each segnum is performed deep inside the call chain by
nilfs_sufile_updatev(), which emits a nilfs_warn() per invalid entry
while still holding the segctor lock and the sufile mi_sem. Under load
(repeated invocations across multiple mounts saturating the global
printk path), the cumulative printk latency keeps ns_segctor_sem held
long enough to trip the hung_task watchdog, blocking concurrent
operations such as chmod() that need ns_segctor_sem for read.
Fix by validating the contents of kbufs[4] in nilfs_clean_segments()
immediately after acquiring ns_segctor_sem via nilfs_transaction_lock().
Holding ns_segctor_sem serializes the check against
nilfs_ioctl_resize(), which can modify ns_nsegments, so the validation
uses a consistent value. Out-of-range segment numbers are rejected
with -EINVAL before any segment-cleaning work begins, so the bad
entries never reach the per-element diagnostic path inside
nilfs_sufile_updatev(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfs/hfsplus: fix u32 overflow in check_and_correct_requested_length
check_and_correct_requested_length() compares (off + len) against
node_size using u32 arithmetic. When the caller passes a large len
value (e.g. from an underflowed subtraction in hfs_brec_remove()),
off + len can wrap past 2^32 and produce a small result, causing the
bounds check to pass when it should fail.
For example, with off=14 and len=0xFFFFFFF2 (underflowed from
data_off - keyoffset - size in hfs_brec_remove), off + len wraps to 6,
which is less than a typical node_size of 512, so the check passes and
the subsequent memmove reads ~4GB past the node buffer.
Fix this by widening the addition to u64 before comparing against
node_size. This prevents the u32 wrap while keeping the logic
straightforward. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: lg-g15: cancel pending work on remove to fix a use-after-free
lg_g15_data is allocated with devm and holds a work item. The report
handlers schedule that work straight from device input.
lg_g15_event() and lg_g15_v2_event() do it on the backlight cycle key,
and lg_g510_leds_event() does it too. The worker dereferences the
lg_g15_data back through container_of.
The driver had no remove callback and never cancelled the work. So if a
report scheduled the work and the keyboard was then unplugged, devres
freed lg_g15_data while the work was still pending or running, and the
worker touched freed memory. This is a use-after-free. It is reachable
as a race on device unplug.
Add a remove callback that cancels the work before devres frees the
state. g15->work is only initialized for the models that schedule it
(G15, G15 v2, G510). The G13 and Z-10 leave it zeroed, so guard the
cancel on g15->work.func to avoid cancelling a work that was never set
up. The g15 NULL test mirrors the one already in lg_g15_raw_event(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: appleir: fix UAF on pending key_up_timer in remove()
appleir_remove() runs hid_hw_stop() before timer_delete_sync().
hid_hw_stop() synchronously unregisters the HID input device via
hid_disconnect() -> hidinput_disconnect() -> input_unregister_device(),
which drops the last reference and frees the underlying input_dev when
no userspace handle holds it open.
key_up_tick() reads appleir->input_dev and calls input_report_key() /
input_sync() on it. The timer is armed from appleir_raw_event() with
a HZ/8 (~125 ms) timeout on every keydown and key-repeat report. If a
key was pressed shortly before the device is disconnected, the timer
can fire after hid_hw_stop() has freed input_dev but before the
teardown drains it.
A simple reorder is not sufficient. Putting the timer drain first
still leaves a window where a USB URB completion (raw_event) running
during hid_hw_stop() can call mod_timer() and re-arm the timer, which
then fires after hidinput_disconnect() has freed input_dev. The same
URB-completion window also lets raw_event() reach key_up(), key_down()
and battery_flat() directly, all of which dereference
appleir->input_dev.
Introduce a 'removing' flag on struct appleir, gated by the existing
spinlock. appleir_remove() sets the flag under the lock and then
shuts down the timer with timer_shutdown_sync(), which both drains any
in-flight callback and permanently disables further mod_timer() calls.
appleir_raw_event() and key_up_tick() bail out early if the flag is
set, so no path can arm or run the timer, or dereference
appleir->input_dev, after remove() has started tearing down.
The keyrepeat and flatbattery branches of appleir_raw_event()
previously called into the input layer without holding the spinlock;
take it now so the flag check is well-defined. This incidentally
closes a pre-existing read-side race on appleir->current_key in the
keyrepeat branch.
This bug is structurally a sibling of commit 4db2af929279 ("HID:
appletb-kbd: fix UAF in inactivity-timer cleanup path") and has been
present since the driver was introduced. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gtp: serialize PDP context updates
PDP contexts can be deleted through GTP_CMD_DELPDP or while the GTP
network device is being unregistered. The latter is serialized by RTNL,
but the generic-netlink delete path only holds RCU.
Running both paths concurrently can therefore make both paths delete the
same PDP context. The issue was found through static analysis and
reproduced on a KASAN-enabled kernel by a simple two-thread program
racing GTP_CMD_DELPDP against RTM_DELLINK:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range
[0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127]
RIP: gtp_genl_del_pdp+0x1c1/0x420 [gtp]
RBP: dead000000000122
The second deletion dereferenced the poisoned hlist pprev pointer.
Serialize gtp_pdp_add(), gtp_genl_del_pdp(), and gtp_dellink() with a
shared mutex. Keep the mutex held until the final use of a PDP context in
the NEWPDP path, and keep the RCU read-side section around the complete
PDP context use in the DELPDP path. |

netfilter: nf_tables: don't queue packet path object notifications
All file:line references below are against v7.2-rc4 (ac5b0e5651b1). The
trace was captured on 7.2.0-rc6-kasan72rc6 (075b74841bd0), where the same
lines apply.
nft_obj_notify() is exported and reached from the packet path. Its only
in-tree caller is nft_quota_obj_eval() (net/netfilter/nft_quota.c:68),
which notifies with GFP_ATOMIC while evaluating a rule for a transiting
packet, holding no mutex.
Since commit 67cc570edaa0 ("netfilter: nf_tables: coalesce multiple
notifications into one skbuff") that notification is no longer sent
immediately. __nft_obj_notify() queues it onto nft_net->notify_list via
nft_notify_enqueue() (net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:1211), which is a bare
list_add_tail(). notify_list has no lock of its own
(include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1951), it is serialised by commit_mutex:
the six other enqueue sites all run inside a netlink transaction, and the
drain in nft_commit_notify() (net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:10746) does
list_del() + kfree_skb() from nf_tables_commit() with commit_mutex held.
Sending packets through a chain that references a depleted quota object
therefore races an unlocked list_add_tail() against list_del() +
kfree_skb() on another CPU. The WRITE_ONCE(prev->next, new) in __list_add()
then stores through an sk_buff that has already been freed:

The buggy address belongs to the cache skbuff_head_cache of size 232
Queueing from the packet path is wrong even leaving the race aside:
notify_list is only drained by nft_commit_notify() from nf_tables_commit()
(:11185), so a notification enqueued outside a transaction is not sent
until some later netlink batch commits, if one ever does.
The gfp argument that nft_obj_notify() still takes is a leftover of the
pre-67cc570edaa0 behaviour, where this path called nfnetlink_send()
directly. Restore that: split the message construction out into
nft_obj_notify_alloc() and let each caller decide what to do with the skb.
nft_obj_notify(), the exported one reached from the packet path, sends it
straight away; nf_tables_obj_notify(), which runs under commit_mutex, keeps
queueing it, so transaction notifications are still coalesced. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Complete cleanup after system-resume errors
A failed system resume can leave the card unusable until reboot.
usb_audio_resume() jumps to err_out when snd_usb_pcm_resume() or
snd_usb_mixer_resume() fails. The error path skips the out: block, which
restores D0 and decrements chip->num_suspended_intf.
The card stays in SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D3hot, so later control access blocks in
snd_power_ref_and_wait(). USB core logs an interface resume callback error.
It does not retry that callback, so a later callback cannot complete the
skipped cleanup.
usb_audio_suspend() increments num_suspended_intf before returning success.
A system-resume callback must consume the system-suspend count even if a
component resume fails. Otherwise, the stranded count skews later suspend
and resume cycles.
Do not apply this cleanup to runtime-resume errors. Runtime PM can retry
-EAGAIN or -EBUSY without another suspend callback. The count must continue
to describe that suspended interface. Other runtime-resume errors latch
runtime_error in the PM core and do not cause an immediate callback retry.
Both parts of the system-resume error path are longstanding. Commit
88a8516a2128a ("ALSA: usbaudio: implement USB autosuspend") introduced
err_out past the D0 restore. Commit 862b2509d157c ("ALSA: usb-audio: Fix
inconsistent card PM state after resume") later moved
num_suspended_intf-- into the out: block. The error path now skips both
operations.
No third-party code is needed to reach the error path.
snd_usb_mixer_resume() ends in snd_usb_mixer_activate(), which returns the
result of usb_submit_urb() for devices that have a mixer status URB. Its
mixer->private_resume hook can also fail through scarlett2_init_notify().
snd_usb_pcm_resume() issues a SET_CUR request to a UAC3 power domain. It
can return -EPIPE or -EIO when the device stalls the request.
Route a component error through out: only when system_suspend is nonzero.
Continue to return runtime-resume errors through err_out. Later component
resume stages remain skipped. The original error still reaches USB core.
A later transfer can fail if the device did not recover.
I reproduced the system-resume failure on an Audient iD14 MkI with an
out-of-tree diagnostic mixer resume hook. An injected -EIO on the unpatched
core left control readers in uninterruptible sleep in
snd_power_ref_and_wait() until a reboot. With this patch, the same failure
restored control access. A second system suspend and resume also succeeded
after I disabled fault injection. |

netpoll: fix a use-after-free on shutdown path

kfree+0x1b7/0x540
rcu_core+0x3f8/0x7a0
The problem happens when there is a pending TX worker running in
parallel with the cleanup path.
This is what happens on netpoll shutdown path:
1) __netpoll_cleanup() is called
2) set dev->npinfo to NULL
3) call_rcu() with rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info()
3.1) rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() tries to cancel all workers with
cancel_delayed_work(), but doesn't wait for the worker to finish
4) and kfree(npinfo);
Because 3.1) doesn't really cancel the work, as the comment says "we
can't call cancel_delayed_work_sync here, as we are in softirq", the TX
worker can run after 4).
Tl;DR: queue_process() is not an RCU reader, it reaches npinfo through
the work item via container_of().
Use disable_delayed_work_sync() to ensure the worker is completely
stopped and prevent any future re-arming attempts. Once npinfo is set
to NULL, senders will bail out and not queue new work. The disable flag
ensures any in-flight re-arming attempts also fail silently.
In the future, we can do the cleanup inline here without needing the
npinfo->rcu rcu_head, but that is net-next material. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: add a WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER check to SMB2 SET_INFO SECURITY
commit cc57232cae23 ("ksmbd: fix FSCTL permission bypass by adding a
permission check for FSCTL_SET_SPARSE") added a fp->daccess gate to
fsctl_set_sparse and noted that "similar handle-level checks exist in other
functions but are missing here." The SMB2 SET_INFO SECURITY arm is one of
the missing ones, and the most security-relevant: smb2_set_info_sec() calls
set_info_sec() with no per-handle access check.
set_info_sec() (fs/smb/server/smbacl.c) re-permissions the file: it
rewrites owner/group/mode via notify_change(), rewrites the POSIX ACL via
set_posix_acl(), and on KSMBD_SHARE_FLAG_ACL_XATTR shares removes and
rewrites the Windows security descriptor via ksmbd_vfs_set_sd_xattr().
Every other persistent-mutation arm of the sibling handler
smb2_set_info_file() checks fp->daccess first (FILE_WRITE_DATA /
FILE_DELETE / FILE_WRITE_EA / FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES); the SECURITY arm —
which mutates the access control itself — is the only one with no gate.
A client can therefore open a handle with FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES only (no
FILE_WRITE_DAC / FILE_WRITE_OWNER) and use SMB2_SET_INFO with InfoType
SMB2_O_INFO_SECURITY to rewrite the file's DACL and owner, granting itself
access the handle's daccess never carried. Unlike the FSCTL data arms this
is a metadata/xattr operation, so there is no FMODE_WRITE VFS backstop —
the missing fp->daccess check is the entire gate.
Setting a security descriptor is the WRITE_DAC / WRITE_OWNER operation, so
require at least one of those on the handle before re-permissioning the
file. -EACCES is mapped to STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED by smb2_set_info(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_conn: Fix null ptr deref in hci_abort_conn()
hci_abort_conn() read hci_skb_event(hdev->sent_cmd) when a connection
was pending, but hdev->sent_cmd can be NULL while req_status is still
HCI_REQ_PEND, leading to a NULL pointer dereference and a general
protection fault from the hci_rx_work() receive path.
Instead of inspecting hdev->sent_cmd, track the in-flight create
connection command with a new per-connection HCI_CONN_CREATE flag and
route all cancellation through hci_cancel_connect_sync(), which
dispatches to a dedicated per-type cancel function. The create command
is in exactly one of two states: still queued, or in flight. The cancel
function holds cmd_sync_work_lock across the whole decision: the worker
takes this lock to dequeue every entry, so while it is held a queued
command cannot start running and an in-flight command cannot complete
and let the next command become pending. This keeps the flag test and
hci_cmd_sync_cancel() atomic with respect to the worker, so a queued
command is simply dequeued, and an in-flight command owned by this
connection is cancelled without the risk of cancelling an unrelated
command that became pending in the meantime. CIS uses the same flag
mechanism via HCI_CONN_CREATE_CIS but cannot be dequeued per-connection.
hci_acl_create_conn_sync() and hci_le_create_conn_sync() clear
HCI_CONN_CREATE after the create command completes, but the command
status handler can free conn via hci_conn_del() (for example when the
controller rejects the connection) while the worker is still blocked on
the connection complete event. Hold a reference on conn across the
create command so the flag can be cleared without a use-after-free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix UAF in bt_accept_dequeue()
bt_accept_get() takes a temporary reference before dropping the accept
queue lock. bt_accept_dequeue() currently drops that reference before
bt_accept_unlink(), leaving only the queue reference.
bt_accept_unlink() drops the queue reference. The subsequent
sock_hold() therefore accesses freed memory if it was the final
reference, as observed by KASAN during listening L2CAP socket cleanup.
Retain the temporary queue-walk reference through unlink and hand it to
the caller on success. Drop it explicitly on the closed and
not-yet-connected paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Fix out-of-bounds firmware read in nxp_recv_fw_req_v3()
During the v3 firmware download the controller sends a v3_data_req with a
32 bit offset and a 16 bit len. nxp_recv_fw_req_v3() checks only the lower
bound of the offset and then sends firmware from that offset.
nxpdev->fw_dnld_v3_offset = offset - nxpdev->fw_v3_offset_correction;
serdev_device_write_buf(nxpdev->serdev, nxpdev->fw->data +
nxpdev->fw_dnld_v3_offset, len);
Nothing checks that fw_dnld_v3_offset + len stays within nxpdev->fw->size,
so a controller that asks for an offset or length past the firmware image
makes the driver read past the end of nxpdev->fw->data and send that
memory back over UART.
nxp_recv_fw_req_v1() already bounds the same write. Add the equivalent
check to the v3 path, reject the request when it falls outside the firmware
image, and zero len on the error path so the fw_v3_prev_sent bookkeeping at
free_skb stays consistent. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: bnep: pin L2CAP connection during netdev registration
bnep_add_connection() reads the L2CAP connection without holding the
channel lock, then passes its HCI device to register_netdev(). Controller
teardown can clear and release that connection concurrently, leaving the
network device registration path to dereference a freed parent device.
Take a reference to the L2CAP connection while holding the channel lock.
Retain it until register_netdev() has taken the parent device reference. |

netfilter: flowtable: IPIP tunnel hardware offload is not yet support
No driver supports for IPIP tunnels yet, give up early on setting up the
hardware offload for this scenario.
This patch adds a stub that can be enhanced to add more configuration
that are currently not supported. As of now, the offload work is
enqueued to the worker, then ignored if the hardware offload
configuration is not supported.
Check the NF_FLOW_HW flag to know if this entry was already tried once
to be offloaded so this is not retried on refresh when unsupported. Move
NF_FLOW_HW flag check to nf_flow_offload_add(). If this NF_FLOW_HW flag
is unset the _del and _stats variants are never called.
This can be updated later on to skip hardware offload work to be queued
in case hardware offload does not support it. |

mm/swap: add cond_resched() in swap_reclaim_full_clusters to prevent softlockup
We hit a real softlockup in an internal stress test environment. The
workload was LTP memory/swap stress on a large arm64 machine, with 320
CPUs, about 1TB memory and an 8.6GB swap device. The system was under
heavy load and the swap device had a large number of full clusters. The
softlockup was triggered during a stress test after about 3 days.
So, add periodic cond_resched() calls during large full_clusters
reclaim operations to prevent softlockup issues.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: shrinker: fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs
shrinker_debugfs_add() creates both "count" and "scan" debugfs files
unconditionally.
That assumes every shrinker implements both count_objects() and
scan_objects(), which is not guaranteed. For example, the xen-backend
shrinker sets count_objects() but leaves scan_objects() NULL, so writing
to its scan file calls through a NULL function pointer and panics the
kernel:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:0x0
Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6.

The count path has the same issue in principle if a shrinker omits
count_objects().
To fix it, only create "count" and "scan" debugfs files when the
corresponding callbacks are present. |
