| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: validate ND option lengths in vxlan_na_create
vxlan_na_create() walks ND options according to option-provided
lengths. A malformed option can make the parser advance beyond the
computed option span or use a too-short source LLADDR option payload.
Validate option lengths against the remaining NS option area before
advancing, and only read source LLADDR when the option is large enough
for an Ethernet address. |

ext4: avoid infinite loops caused by residual data
On the mkdir/mknod path, when mapping logical blocks to physical blocks,
if inserting a new extent into the extent tree fails (in this example,
because the file system disabled the huge file feature when marking the
inode as dirty), ext4_ext_map_blocks() only calls ext4_free_blocks() to
reclaim the physical block without deleting the corresponding data in
the extent tree. This causes subsequent mkdir operations to reference
the previously reclaimed physical block number again, even though this
physical block is already being used by the xattr block. Therefore, a
situation arises where both the directory and xattr are using the same
buffer head block in memory simultaneously.
The above causes ext4_xattr_block_set() to enter an infinite loop about
"inserted" and cannot release the inode lock, ultimately leading to the
143s blocking problem mentioned in [1].
If the metadata is corrupted, then trying to remove some extent space
can do even more harm. Also in case EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE
was passed, remove space wrongly update quota information.
Jan Kara suggests distinguishing between two cases:
1) The error is ENOSPC or EDQUOT - in this case the filesystem is fully
consistent and we must maintain its consistency including all the
accounting. However these errors can happen only early before we've
inserted the extent into the extent tree. So current code works correctly
for this case.
2) Some other error - this means metadata is corrupted. We should strive to
do as few modifications as possible to limit damage. So I'd just skip
freeing of allocated blocks.

scsi: ibmvfc: Fix OOB access in ibmvfc_discover_targets_done()
A malicious or compromised VIO server can return a num_written value in the
discover targets MAD response that exceeds max_targets. This value is
stored directly in vhost->num_targets without validation, and is then used
as the loop bound in ibmvfc_alloc_targets() to index into disc_buf[], which
is only allocated for max_targets entries. Indices at or beyond max_targets
access kernel memory outside the DMA-coherent allocation. The
out-of-bounds data is subsequently embedded in Implicit Logout and PLOGI
MADs that are sent back to the VIO server, leaking kernel memory.
Fix by clamping num_written to max_targets before storing it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: tcm_loop: Drain commands in target_reset handler
tcm_loop_target_reset() violates the SCSI EH contract: it returns SUCCESS
without draining any in-flight commands. The SCSI EH documentation
(scsi_eh.rst) requires that when a reset handler returns SUCCESS the driver
has made lower layers "forget about timed out scmds" and is ready for new
commands. Every other SCSI LLD (virtio_scsi, mpt3sas, ipr, scsi_debug,
mpi3mr) enforces this by draining or completing outstanding commands before
returning SUCCESS.
Because tcm_loop_target_reset() doesn't drain, the SCSI EH reuses in-flight
scsi_cmnd structures for recovery commands (e.g. TUR) while the target core
still has async completion work queued for the old se_cmd. The memset in
queuecommand zeroes se_lun and lun_ref_active, causing
transport_lun_remove_cmd() to skip its percpu_ref_put(). The leaked LUN
reference prevents transport_clear_lun_ref() from completing, hanging
configfs LUN unlink forever in D-state:

Fix this by making tcm_loop_target_reset() actually drain commands:
1. Issue TMR_LUN_RESET via tcm_loop_issue_tmr() to drain all commands that
the target core knows about (those not yet CMD_T_COMPLETE).
2. Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to iterate all started requests and
flush_work() on each se_cmd — this drains any deferred completion work
for commands that already had CMD_T_COMPLETE set before the TMR (which
the TMR skips via __target_check_io_state()). This is the same pattern
used by mpi3mr, scsi_debug, and libsas to drain outstanding commands
during reset. |

mm/huge_memory: fix folio isn't locked in softleaf_to_folio()
On arm64 server, we found folio that get from migration entry isn't locked
in softleaf_to_folio(). This issue triggers when mTHP splitting and
zap_nonpresent_ptes() races, and the root cause is lack of memory barrier
in softleaf_to_folio(). The race is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
deferred_split_scan() zap_nonpresent_ptes()
lock folio
split_folio()
unmap_folio()
change ptes to migration entries
__split_folio_to_order() softleaf_to_folio()
set flags(including PG_locked) for tail pages folio = pfn_folio(softleaf_to_pfn(entry))
smp_wmb() VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_locked(folio))
prep_compound_page() for tail pages
In __split_folio_to_order(), smp_wmb() guarantees page flags of tail pages
are visible before the tail page becomes non-compound. smp_wmb() should
be paired with smp_rmb() in softleaf_to_folio(), which is missed. As a
result, if zap_nonpresent_ptes() accesses migration entry that stores tail
pfn, softleaf_to_folio() may see the updated compound_head of tail page
before page->flags.
This issue will trigger VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in pfn_swap_entry_folio()
because of the race between folio split and zap_nonpresent_ptes()
leading to a folio incorrectly undergoing modification without a folio
lock being held.
This is a BUG_ON() before commit 93976a20345b ("mm: eliminate further
swapops predicates"), which in merged in v6.19-rc1.
To fix it, add missing smp_rmb() if the softleaf entry is migration entry
in softleaf_to_folio() and softleaf_to_page().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: lec: fix use-after-free in sock_def_readable()
A race condition exists between lec_atm_close() setting priv->lecd
to NULL and concurrent access to priv->lecd in send_to_lecd(),
lec_handle_bridge(), and lec_atm_send(). When the socket is freed
via RCU while another thread is still using it, a use-after-free
occurs in sock_def_readable() when accessing the socket's wait queue.
The root cause is that lec_atm_close() clears priv->lecd without
any synchronization, while callers dereference priv->lecd without
any protection against concurrent teardown.
Fix this by converting priv->lecd to an RCU-protected pointer:
- Mark priv->lecd as __rcu in lec.h
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() in lec_atm_close() and lecd_attach()
for safe pointer assignment
- Use rcu_access_pointer() for NULL checks that do not dereference
the pointer in lec_start_xmit(), lec_push(), send_to_lecd() and
lecd_attach()
- Use rcu_read_lock/rcu_dereference/rcu_read_unlock in send_to_lecd(),
lec_handle_bridge() and lec_atm_send() to safely access lecd
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() followed by synchronize_rcu() in
lec_atm_close() to ensure all readers have completed before
proceeding. This is safe since lec_atm_close() is called from
vcc_release() which holds lock_sock(), a sleeping lock.
- Remove the manual sk_receive_queue drain from lec_atm_close()
since vcc_destroy_socket() already drains it after lec_atm_close()
returns.
v2: Switch from spinlock + sock_hold/put approach to RCU to properly
fix the race. The v1 spinlock approach had two issues pointed out
by Eric Dumazet:
1. priv->lecd was still accessed directly after releasing the
lock instead of using a local copy.
2. The spinlock did not prevent packets being queued after
lec_atm_close() drains sk_receive_queue since timer and
workqueue paths bypass netif_stop_queue().
Note: Syzbot patch testing was attempted but the test VM terminated
unexpectedly with "Connection to localhost closed by remote host",
likely due to a QEMU AHCI emulation issue unrelated to this fix.
Compile testing with "make W=1 net/atm/lec.o" passes cleanly. |

virtio_net: Fix UAF on dst_ops when IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is cleared and napi_tx is false
A UAF issue occurs when the virtio_net driver is configured with napi_tx=N
and the device's IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag is cleared
(e.g., during the configuration of tc route filter rules).
When IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is removed from the net_device, the network stack
expects the driver to hold the reference to skb->dst until the packet
is fully transmitted and freed. In virtio_net with napi_tx=N,
skbs may remain in the virtio transmit ring for an extended period.
If the network namespace is destroyed while these skbs are still pending,
the corresponding dst_ops structure has freed. When a subsequent packet
is transmitted, free_old_xmit() is triggered to clean up old skbs.
It then calls dst_release() on the skb associated with the stale dst_entry.
Since the dst_ops (referenced by the dst_entry) has already been freed,
a UAF kernel paging request occurs.
fix it by adds skb_dst_drop(skb) in start_xmit to explicitly release
the dst reference before the skb is queued in virtio_net.

HID: wacom: fix out-of-bounds read in wacom_intuos_bt_irq
The wacom_intuos_bt_irq() function processes Bluetooth HID reports
without sufficient bounds checking. A maliciously crafted short report
can trigger an out-of-bounds read when copying data into the wacom
structure.
Specifically, report 0x03 requires at least 22 bytes to safely read
the processed data and battery status, while report 0x04 (which
falls through to 0x03) requires 32 bytes.
Add explicit length checks for these report IDs and log a warning if
a short report is received. |

virt: tdx-guest: Fix handling of host controlled 'quote' buffer length
Validate host controlled value `quote_buf->out_len` that determines how
many bytes of the quote are copied out to guest userspace. In TDX
environments with remote attestation, quotes are not considered private,
and can be forwarded to an attestation server.
Catch scenarios where the host specifies a response length larger than
the guest's allocation, or otherwise races modifying the response while
the guest consumes it.
This prevents contents beyond the pages allocated for `quote_buf`
(up to TSM_REPORT_OUTBLOB_MAX) from being read out to guest userspace,
and possibly forwarded in attestation requests.
Recall that some deployments want per-container configs-tsm-report
interfaces, so the leak may cross container protection boundaries, not
just local root. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: Address thermal zone removal races with resume
Since thermal_zone_pm_complete() and thermal_zone_device_resume()
re-initialize the poll_queue delayed work for the given thermal zone,
the cancel_delayed_work_sync() in thermal_zone_device_unregister()
may miss some already running work items and the thermal zone may
be freed prematurely [1].
There are two failing scenarios that both start with
running thermal_pm_notify_complete() right before invoking
thermal_zone_device_unregister() for one of the thermal zones.
In the first scenario, there is a work item already running for
the given thermal zone when thermal_pm_notify_complete() calls
thermal_zone_pm_complete() for that thermal zone and it continues to
run when thermal_zone_device_unregister() starts. Since the poll_queue
delayed work has been re-initialized by thermal_pm_notify_complete(), the
running work item will be missed by the cancel_delayed_work_sync() in
thermal_zone_device_unregister() and if it continues to run past the
freeing of the thermal zone object, a use-after-free will occur.
In the second scenario, thermal_zone_device_resume() queued up by
thermal_pm_notify_complete() runs right after the thermal_zone_exit()
called by thermal_zone_device_unregister() has returned. The poll_queue
delayed work is re-initialized by it before cancel_delayed_work_sync() is
called by thermal_zone_device_unregister(), so it may continue to run
after the freeing of the thermal zone object, which also leads to a
use-after-free.
Address the first failing scenario by ensuring that no thermal work
items will be running when thermal_pm_notify_complete() is called.
For this purpose, first move the cancel_delayed_work() call from
thermal_zone_pm_complete() to thermal_zone_pm_prepare() to prevent
new work from entering the workqueue going forward. Next, switch
over to using a dedicated workqueue for thermal events and update
the code in thermal_pm_notify() to flush that workqueue after
thermal_pm_notify_prepare() has returned which will take care of
all leftover thermal work already on the workqueue (that leftover
work would do nothing useful anyway because all of the thermal zones
have been flagged as suspended).
The second failing scenario is addressed by adding a tz->state check
to thermal_zone_device_resume() to prevent it from re-initializing
the poll_queue delayed work if the thermal zone is going away.
Note that the above changes will also facilitate relocating the suspend
and resume of thermal zones closer to the suspend and resume of devices,
respectively. |

usb: gadget: f_subset: Fix net_device lifecycle with device_move
The net_device is allocated during function instance creation and
registered during the bind phase with the gadget device as its sysfs
parent. When the function unbinds, the parent device is destroyed, but
the net_device survives, resulting in dangling sysfs symlinks:

tree and /sys/devices/virtual across bind and unbind cycles. During the
final unbind, calling device_move(NULL) moves the net_device to the

usb: gadget: uvc: fix NULL pointer dereference during unbind race
Commit b81ac4395bbe ("usb: gadget: uvc: allow for application to cleanly
shutdown") introduced two stages of synchronization waits totaling 1500ms
in uvc_function_unbind() to prevent several types of kernel panics.
However, this timing-based approach is insufficient during power
management (PM) transitions.
When the PM subsystem starts freezing user space processes, the
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() is aborted early, which allows the
unbind thread to proceed and nullify the gadget pointer
(cdev->gadget = NULL):

When the PM subsystem resumes or aborts the suspend and tasks are
restarted, the V4L2 release path is executed and attempts to access the
already nullified gadget pointer, triggering a kernel panic:

Address the race condition and NULL pointer dereference by:
1. State Synchronization (flag + mutex)
Introduce a 'func_unbound' flag in struct uvc_device. This allows
uvc_function_disconnect() to safely skip accessing the nullified
cdev->gadget pointer. As suggested by Alan Stern, this flag is protected
by a new mutex (uvc->lock) to ensure proper memory ordering and prevent
instruction reordering or speculative loads. This mutex is also used to
protect 'func_connected' for consistent state management.
2. Explicit Synchronization (completion)
Use a completion to synchronize uvc_function_unbind() with the
uvc_vdev_release() callback. This prevents Use-After-Free (UAF) by
ensuring struct uvc_device is freed after all video device resources
are released. |

usb: gadget: u_ether: Fix race between gether_disconnect and eth_stop
A race condition between gether_disconnect() and eth_stop() leads to a
NULL pointer dereference. Specifically, if eth_stop() is triggered
concurrently while gether_disconnect() is tearing down the endpoints,
eth_stop() attempts to access the cleared endpoint descriptor, causing

The root cause is that the clearing of dev->port_usb in
gether_disconnect() is delayed until the end of the function.
Move the clearing of dev->port_usb to the very beginning of
gether_disconnect() while holding dev->lock. This cuts off the link
immediately, ensuring eth_stop() will see dev->port_usb as NULL and
safely bail out. |

usb: typec: ucsi: validate connector number in ucsi_notify_common()
The connector number extracted from CCI via UCSI_CCI_CONNECTOR() is a
7-bit field (0-127) that is used to index into the connector array in
ucsi_connector_change(). However, the array is only allocated for the
number of connectors reported by the device (typically 2-4 entries).
A malicious or malfunctioning device could report an out-of-range
connector number in the CCI, causing an out-of-bounds array access in
ucsi_connector_change().
Add a bounds check in ucsi_notify_common(), the central point where CCI
is parsed after arriving from hardware, so that bogus connector numbers
are rejected before they propagate further. |

misc: fastrpc: possible double-free of cctx->remote_heap
fastrpc_init_create_static_process() may free cctx->remote_heap on the
err_map path but does not clear the pointer. Later, fastrpc_rpmsg_remove()
frees cctx->remote_heap again if it is non-NULL, which can lead to a
double-free if the INIT_CREATE_STATIC ioctl hits the error path and the rpmsg
device is subsequently removed/unbound.
Clear cctx->remote_heap after freeing it in the error path to prevent the
later cleanup from freeing it again.
This issue was found by an in-house analysis workflow that extracts AST-based
information and runs static checks, with LLM assistance for triage, and was
confirmed by manual code review.
No hardware testing was performed. |

mm: call ->free_folio() directly in folio_unmap_invalidate()
We can only call filemap_free_folio() if we have a reference to (or hold a
lock on) the mapping. Otherwise, we've already removed the folio from the
mapping so it no longer pins the mapping and the mapping can be removed,
causing a use-after-free when accessing mapping->a_ops.
Follow the same pattern as __remove_mapping() and load the free_folio
function pointer before dropping the lock on the mapping. That lets us
make filemap_free_folio() static as this was the only caller outside
filemap.c. |

Reject rt match rules whose addrnr exceeds IP6T_RT_HOPS.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_netem: fix out-of-bounds access in packet corruption
In netem_enqueue(), the packet corruption logic uses
get_random_u32_below(skb_headlen(skb)) to select an index for
modifying skb->data. When an AF_PACKET TX_RING sends fully non-linear
packets over an IPIP tunnel, skb_headlen(skb) evaluates to 0.
Passing 0 to get_random_u32_below() takes the variable-ceil slow path
which returns an unconstrained 32-bit random integer. Using this
unconstrained value as an offset into skb->data results in an
out-of-bounds memory access.
Fix this by verifying skb_headlen(skb) is non-zero before attempting
to corrupt the linear data area. Fully non-linear packets will silently
bypass the corruption logic. |
