| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: do overflow check for sb->bblog_shift in super_1_load()
In super_1_load(), sb->bblog_shift is an __u8 type value loaded from on-
disk superblock. It is used for badblocks API badblocks_set() by the
following sequence,
1930 rdev->badblocks.shift = sb->bblog_shift;
1931 for (i = 0 ; i < (sectors << (9-3)) ; i++, bbp++) {
1932 u64 bb = le64_to_cpu(*bbp);
1933 int count = bb & (0x3ff);
1934 u64 sector = bb >> 10;
1935 sector <<= sb->bblog_shift;
1936 count <<= sb->bblog_shift;
1937 if (bb + 1 == 0)
1938 break;
1939 if (!badblocks_set(&rdev->badblocks, sector, count, 1))
1940 return -EINVAL;
1941 }
bb->bblog_shit is in range of 0-255, variable sector is 64bit width, for
an invalid bb->bblog_shit, it is possible to make sector be overflowed
by the following calculation,
1935 sector <<= sb->bblog_shift;
Then in turn when call badblocks_set() at line 1939 with the invalid
rdev->badblocks.shift set at line 1930, may result an overflow inside
_badblocks_clear() in block/badblocks.c.
Although there are many places to call badblocks APIs, the non-zero
shift value is only used in super_1_load(), other places always use 0 as
the shift value. Therefore it is unnecessary to do a general shift value
overflow check inside badblock API, and just check here as the caller.
This may avoid unnecessary check, make the badblocks API code more simple
and elegant. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix uninitialized local_id in syncookie MP_JOIN reconstruction
mptcp_token_join_cookie_init_state() restores remote_nonce, local_nonce,
backup, join_id, token and msk from the saved cookie entry when rebuilding
the request socket for a MP_JOIN 4th-ACK handled under SYN cookies, but it
does not restore local_id, even though the SYN path saved it.
subflow_ulp_clone() then reads that uninitialized field and stores it as
the joined subflow's address-ID. Because the request-sock slab is
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and not zeroed on allocation, the value is the stale
byte of a previously freed request socket, which an off-path peer can
influence by sending concurrent MP_JOIN SYNs. This corrupts the path
manager's id-based subflow bookkeeping for the connection.
Restore subflow_req->local_id from the cookie entry, as done for the other
fields. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: route to a populated pool in svc_pool_for_cpu()
svc_set_num_threads() spreads the requested threads evenly across the
service's pools (base = nrservs / sv_nrpools). When a service runs
fewer threads than it has pools -- e.g. an nfsd configured with fewer
threads than the host has NUMA nodes while running in "pernode" or
"percpu" mode -- the trailing pools are left with no threads at all.
svc_xprt_enqueue() selects a pool from the CPU servicing the transport,
queues the transport on that pool's sp_xprts, and only wakes a thread
from the same pool. Each thread services exclusively its own pool, so a
transport that lands on a threadless pool is enqueued on sp_xprts and
never picked up: the connection hangs indefinitely.
Have svc_pool_for_cpu() skip pools that currently have no threads,
falling back to the next populated pool. This trades NUMA locality for
a guarantee that the work is actually serviced. sp_nrthreads is only
updated under the service mutex; the lockless read here is a best-effort
routing hint, so annotate it with data_race(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: always drain cache_cleaner before destroying a cache_detail
sunrpc_destroy_cache_detail() only cancels the global cache_cleaner
delayed_work when cache_list is empty. During per-netns teardown
cache_list is never empty because init_net's caches remain registered,
so the cancel never fires. After unlink, the caller proceeds to
cache_destroy_net() which kfrees the cache_detail while cache_clean()
may still hold a dangling pointer to it. The result is a
use-after-free: cache_dequeue() takes cd->queue_lock on freed memory,
and cache_put() dereferences cd->cache_put as a function pointer from
freed slab.
Drop the list_empty guard so that cancel_delayed_work_sync() always
runs, ensuring any in-flight cache_clean() completes before the
cache_detail is freed. Re-arm the cleaner afterwards if other caches
are still registered. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: init gssp_lock before publishing proc entry
create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry() publishes /proc/net/rpc/use-gss-proxy
via proc_create_data() before init_gssp_clnt() runs mutex_init() on
sn->gssp_lock. Once the dentry is linked under proc_subdir_lock it is
immediately reachable from userspace, so a write that lands in the
window drives set_gssp_clnt() into mutex_lock() on a zero-initialized
struct mutex.
create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry(net)
proc_create_data("use-gss-proxy", ...) /* dentry live */
init_gssp_clnt(sn)
mutex_init(&sn->gssp_lock) /* too late */
write_gssp()
set_gssp_clnt(net)
mutex_lock(&sn->gssp_lock) /* uninitialized */
gssp_rpc_create(...)
sn->gssp_clnt = clnt
mutex_unlock(&sn->gssp_lock)
The window spans only the two statements between proc_create_data()
returning and init_gssp_clnt(), so a writer reaches it only if the
registering thread is preempted there while another task is already
opening the freshly published file. register_pernet_subsys() runs in
preemptible context under pernet_ops_rwsem, so that preemption is
possible, and the window widens on auth_rpcgss module load, when the
proc entry is created for every live net namespace whose tasks are
already running. A writer that wins the race locks a zero-filled
struct mutex. On CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES the missing magic value trips a
"lock used without init" splat; on a production kernel the fast path
acquires the lock via CMPXCHG(owner, 0, current). In the latter case
a second writer that arrives before init_gssp_clnt() re-zeroes owner
can enter set_gssp_clnt() concurrently, shut down the first writer's
clnt while it is still in use, and leak the loser's clnt.
Fix by initializing sn->gssp_lock in sunrpc_init_net() so its lifetime
matches the sunrpc_net it lives in. sn->gssp_clnt is already NULL from
the kzalloc that backs net_generic storage, so the lazy helper is no
longer needed; drop init_gssp_clnt(), its prototype, and the call from
create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry(). sunrpc.ko is a build-time
dependency of auth_rpcgss.ko, so sunrpc_init_net() has always run on
every netns before any auth_gss pernet init can publish the proc
entry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qede: Fix NULL pointer dereference in TPA fragment processing
Under memory pressure, the qede driver encounters NULL pointer
dereferences when processing TPA continuation fragments.
Commit 8a8633978b84 ("qede: Add build_skb() support.") accidentally
dropped the assignment of tpa_info->buffer.data in qede_tpa_start().
When memory pressure causes an SKB allocation failure in qede_tpa_start(),
the driver sets tpa_start_fail = true and attempts to recycle the physical
page later in qede_tpa_end() via qede_reuse_page(). However, because
buffer.data was left uninitialized (NULL), qede_reuse_page() pushes a
"ghost" BD (valid DMA mapping but NULL data pointer) back into the
active Rx ring.
The next time the hardware uses this ring slot, it passes a NULL page
to qede_fill_frag_skb(), causing a kernel panic.
Example crash from production system:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x8

Fix the root cause by restoring the tpa_info->buffer.data assignment
in qede_tpa_start(), ensuring valid pages are correctly tracked and
recycled. Additionally, update the stale comment for
struct qede_agg_info::buffer to reflect its current usage. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cxgb4: Cancel reg_work before freeing device on remove
c4iw_uld_state_change() queues reg_work to register the RDMA device.
c4iw_remove() can free ctx->dev while this work is pending or running,
leaving c4iw_register_device() accessing the freed device.
Cancel reg_work before removing the device. The registration work can
tear down ctx->dev when registration fails, so do not unregister or
deallocate it again in that case.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: Fix CT limit teardown use-after-free
Packet processing uses CT limit state under RCU, while netns teardown
frees that state under ovs_mutex. The CT limit pointer was neither removed
from readers nor protected by a grace period, allowing packet processing to
dereference the freed state.
An unprivileged user can trigger this bug from a user and network
namespace, causing a slab-use-after-free in ovs_ct_execute() when the
netns is torn down.
Publish the CT limit pointer through RCU, remove it before teardown, and
wait for readers before freeing its contents. Keep ovs_mutex around
individual CT limit updates, and use the RCU read-side lock while GET
traverses the RCU-protected limit lists.
Netns teardown detaches the RCU-protected CT limit state in the pernet
.pre_exit callback while holding ovs_mutex. The pernet core guarantees an
RCU grace period between the .pre_exit and .exit callbacks, so the .exit
callback completes the teardown without adding any extra synchronization.
The netlink command handlers do not need NULL checks because the userspace
netlink socket holds an active reference to its network namespace while a
request is processed. The per-netns exit path therefore cannot run
concurrently with SET, DEL, or GET for that socket's namespace. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: only skb_tx_error() a packet we are about to drop
queue_userspace_packet() borrows the packet skb -- it only copies it into
a private netlink message (user_skb) and does not own it; on return
do_execute_actions() keeps forwarding it through the flow's remaining
actions. Its error path nevertheless calls skb_tx_error(skb), which via
skb_zcopy_clear() does skb_shinfo(skb)->flags &= ~SKBFL_ALL_ZEROCOPY,
stripping SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG from that live skb (skb_tx_error()'s kerneldoc
says "skb must be freed afterwards").
For a MSG_ZEROCOPY skb carrying page-cache frags, SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG is
what makes esp_input() skb_cow_data() before in-place AEAD; once it is
stripped a later local ESP-in-UDP delivery decrypts in place over pages
the sender does not own -- an unprivileged page-cache write (the
"Fragnesia" primitive).
do_execute_actions() ignores output_userspace()'s return value, so any
action after a failed USERSPACE upcall inherits the stripped skb.
Move the skb_tx_error() to the flow-miss drop path - the "default"
branch of ovs_dp_process_packet()'s switch(error), before kfree_skb().
The call has been here since commit 36d5fe6a0007 ("core, nfqueue,
openvswitch: Orphan frags in skb_zerocopy and handle errors") but was
harmless until esp_input() began relying on SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG to gate
in-place decrypt; only then did stripping it on a still-forwarded skb
become a page-cache write primitive. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: zero the discard fallback page
nvme_setup_discard() always maps sizeof(struct nvme_dsm_range) *
NVME_DSM_MAX_RANGES = 4096 bytes as the DSM payload however many ranges
the command declares, because some devices ignore the 'Number of Ranges'
field - the Fixes: commit records two that read past the declared ranges.
A single-range discard fills only the first 16 bytes.
Normally the buffer comes from kzalloc() and the other 4080 bytes are
zero. When that allocation fails the code falls back to the
per-controller ctrl->discard_page, which nvme_init_ctrl() obtains with
alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL) and nothing ever zeroes, so those 4080 bytes are
whatever the page last held and are handed to the controller. Reaching
it requires the kzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN) to fail, that is
memory pressure; it is not remotely triggerable. Failing the allocation
under KMSAN reproduces it, with the leaked tail full of vmemmap struct
page pointers. The extent in the report is a partial transfer of the
payload, not the whole 4096 bytes; the 16-byte boundary in it is the one
declared range:

sctp: fix NULL deref on untransmitted RECONF completion
sctp_process_strreset_outreq(), sctp_process_strreset_addstrm_out() and
sctp_process_strreset_resp() complete a pending stream reconfiguration
request by stopping the reconf timer on the transport it was sent on:
t = asoc->strreset_chunk->transport;
if (timer_delete(&t->reconf_timer))
sctp_transport_put(t);
chunk->transport is assigned by __sctp_packet_append_chunk() when the
chunk is appended to an outbound packet, and sctp_outq_flush_ctrl() arms
the reconf timer at that same point. A request already published in
asoc->strreset_chunk but not yet transmitted has neither, so completing
it dereferences NULL.
Two ways to get there. sctp_send_asconf_del_ip() sets
asoc->src_out_of_asoc_ok without sending anything when the address being
removed is the association's last one, and sctp_outq_flush_ctrl() then
leaves every non-ASCONF control chunk queued; as only
sctp_process_asconf_ack() clears that flag, it persists. An unprivileged
process that removes such an address and then asks for a stream reset
panics the kernel from softirq. A peer needs neither ASCONF nor local
help: sctp_cmd_interpreter() uncorks the outqueue only once the whole
packet has been processed, so a reply built while walking a RECONF chunk
stays untransmitted for the rest of that walk, and one RECONF chunk
carrying [Incoming SSN Reset Request, Outgoing SSN Reset Request,
Response] -- or two RECONF chunks in one packet -- reaches the same
dereference.

sctp: fix stream->outcnt underflow on duplicate RECONF responses

twice and possibly underflowing it.

slip: fix use-after-free in sl_sync()
slip_devs[] stores bare net_device pointers and takes no reference on
them. sl_sync() and sl_alloc() walk that table from slip_open() under
rtnl_lock(), while an entry is dropped by sl_free_netdev(), which
sl_setup() installs as dev->priv_destructor.
priv_destructor is called from netdev_run_todo(), which deliberately
runs with the RTNL semaphore released so that it can sleep while waiting
for the device refcount to drop:
/* Snapshot list, allow later requests */
list_replace_init(&net_todo_list, &list);
__rtnl_unlock();
...
if (dev->priv_destructor)
dev->priv_destructor(dev); /* slip_devs[i] = NULL */
if (dev->needs_free_netdev)
free_netdev(dev);
...
/* Free network device */
kobject_put(&dev->dev.kobj);
So rtnl_lock() does not serialise slip_open() against the teardown at
all. sl_sync() can load slip_devs[i] while the entry is still published
and dereference it after netdev_run_todo() has run the destructor and
released the device:

Commit e58c19124189 ("slip: Fix use-after-free Read in slip_open") fixed
a different source of stale entries - a device left in slip_devs[] after
slip_open() freed it on the registration error path - and does not
address this race, which is why the report survives it.
Drop the entry from ndo_uninit instead. unregister_netdevice() calls
ndo_uninit under RTNL, before the device is queued to netdev_run_todo(),
so an entry that sl_sync() can still see while holding RTNL belongs to a
device that cannot be freed until RTNL is dropped. sl_free_netdev()
stays only for the slip_open() error path, where register_netdevice()
may have failed before ndo_init and ndo_uninit is then not called
either. Both running for the same device is harmless: the

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tun: bound receive headroom
tun_get_user() uses tun->align both as skb headroom and when choosing how
much packet data to keep linear. OVS can propagate an oversized headroom
request from another port to TUN or TAP.
When align is larger than the usable space in a one-page skb head,
SKB_MAX_HEAD(align) underflows and the result becomes negative when stored
in good_linear. That value later wraps when assigned to the size_t linear
variable, and tun_alloc_skb() can place skb->data outside the allocated
head.
Bound the headroom stored by TUN to the one-page skb-head budget and the
largest non-sentinel 16-bit skb header offset. Leave one linear byte for
raw TUN and a complete Ethernet header for TAP, including NET_IP_ALIGN.
Also pull the raw-TUN protocol byte and the TAP Ethernet header before
accessing them, so these checks remain safe for nonlinear skbs supplied by
other allocation paths. |

via RCU right after it is removed from the flow table. The pointer
stays in the flow structure and it can be accessible while in the same
RCU critical section. This is done to avoid requiring ovs_mutex for
the ovs_flow_free().
However, while removing the flow during processing of CMD_DEL, we do
not take RCU read lock before the removal, and ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info()
uses the flow->mask pointer afterwards. The RCU read lock is taken,
but it's already late at that point. The comment on that line
acknowledges that the lock is cosmetic and doesn't serve a real purpose.
This leads to use-after-free if the RCU grace period passes between
removal and the filling. It is a short race window, but it is there
and can lead to a real crash in case memory allocation for the info
takes a bit longer:

ovs_flow_tbl_remove() must be called after the ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info()
to avoid this race. This also helps with cleaning up the forced cast
and the cosmetic RCU read lock. Before the commit in the Fixes tag the
order did not matter as long as the flow object itself was not freed.
A wider RCU critical section could be another option, but we have a
GFP_KERNEL allocation in the way.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NTB: ntb_transport: Reject oversized TX buffers
ntb_process_tx() handles an oversized buffer by calling tx_handler()
with a NULL data pointer and returning success. ntb_netdev therefore
neither frees the skb in its completion callback nor takes its enqueue
error path, leaking it.
Reject oversized buffers in ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() before acquiring
a queue entry and return -EMSGSIZE. The caller retains ownership of the
buffer, and the preceding netdev patch frees the skb when enqueue
returns this permanent error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix use-after-free in smc_rx_pipe_buf_release()
smc_rx_splice() hands RMB pages to a pipe and takes a socket reference
per entry so the smc_sock stays alive until the reader finishes. The
connection does not: a concurrent close runs smc_conn_free(), which
releases the receive buffer back to the link group pool.
smc_rx_pipe_buf_release() tests sk_state before taking the socket lock.
The state can change between the test and the lock, and
smc_rx_update_cons() then dereferences conn->rmb_desc and walks
conn->lgr, which smc_conn_free() has already released. On the
is_reg_err path smcr_buf_unuse() frees the descriptor outright, so
this is a use-after-free.
Take the socket lock first and test conn->freed instead.
smc_conn_free() sets that flag before releasing anything, and every
caller holds the socket lock. The two paths exclude each other: either
the pipe release runs first with everything valid, or it sees the flag
and skips the update. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: cap advertised IP tunnel headroom
IP tunnel devices derive their advertised needed_headroom from lower
output devices. A stack of user-created devices can make the derived
value larger than the 16-bit skb header offsets can represent. Once IP
output reserves it, skb head expansion can wrap those offsets.
The runtime transmit path already caps a growing needed_headroom at 512.
Apply the same cap when tunnel configuration publishes needed_headroom
derived from a lower output device.
Capping the advertised value is safe: IP tunnel transmit still expands
the skb when a packet needs more headroom. A nonsensical stacked
configuration can therefore incur an extra reallocation, but it cannot
publish an unbounded reservation to upper layers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: skbuff: don't touch shared zerocopy state in skb_tx_error()
skb_tx_error() completes the zerocopy uarg and clears
SKBFL_ALL_ZEROCOPY, and skb_zcopy_downgrade_managed() clears
SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS. Both live in skb_shinfo(), which every clone
shares, while the caller only owns the reference it is about to drop.
Through a clone it tells the producer its pages are free and drops
SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG for an skb that is still in flight.
Open vSwitch reaches this with a non-last OVS_ACTION_ATTR_RECIRC:
clone_execute() sends a skb_clone() into ovs_dp_process_packet() while
do_execute_actions() keeps forwarding the original, and skb_clone()
does not privatise the frags here -- skb_orphan_frags() returns early
on SKBFL_DONT_ORPHAN. A flow miss on the clone then strips the marker
from the packet still being forwarded, and a later local ESP delivery
decrypts in place over frags it does not own privately.
Skip it for a cloned skb. Nothing is lost: skb_release_data() clears
the zerocopy state once the last reference to the shared data goes. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: bcd2000: clear the URB pointers on disconnect
bcd2000_free_usb_related_resources() frees both URBs and leaves the
pointers behind:
usb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);
usb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);
usb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);
usb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);
The rawmidi device outlives that call. A substream that is still open
when the device is unplugged reaches bcd2000_midi_send() from the
trigger path on close. That function writes to the freed URB and then
hands it to the USB core:
bcd2k->midi_out_urb->transfer_buffer_length = BUFSIZE;
...
ret = usb_submit_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb, GFP_ATOMIC);
usb_kill_urb() does not stop a later submission either, so a submit that
races the disconnect can requeue the URB after it has been reaped.
midi_in_urb is exposed the same way: bcd2000_input_complete() resubmits
it from the completion handler.

Clear both pointers after freeing and test them on the paths that can
still run. Poison the URBs before freeing them: usb_poison_urb() waits
for a running completion handler and rejects any later submission, so
after it returns the input path is quiesced and only the rawmidi trigger
path can still reach bcd2000_midi_send(). No unpoison is needed; the
URBs are freed on the next line.
