| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: unittest: Fix memory leak in unittest_data_add()
In unittest_data_add(), if of_resolve_phandles() fails, the allocated
unittest_data is not freed, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by using scope-based cleanup helper __free(kfree) for automatic
resource cleanup. This ensures unittest_data is automatically freed when
it goes out of scope in error paths.
For the success path, use retain_and_null_ptr() to transfer ownership
of the memory to the device tree and prevent double freeing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, test_run: Subtract size of xdp_frame from allowed metadata size
The xdp_frame structure takes up part of the XDP frame headroom,
limiting the size of the metadata. However, in bpf_test_run, we don't
take this into account, which makes it possible for userspace to supply
a metadata size that is too large (taking up the entire headroom).
If userspace supplies such a large metadata size in live packet mode,
the xdp_update_frame_from_buff() call in xdp_test_run_init_page() call
will fail, after which packet transmission proceeds with an
uninitialised frame structure, leading to the usual Bad Stuff.
The commit in the Fixes tag fixed a related bug where the second check
in xdp_update_frame_from_buff() could fail, but did not add any
additional constraints on the metadata size. Complete the fix by adding
an additional check on the metadata size. Reorder the checks slightly to
make the logic clearer and add a comment. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: zlib: fix the folio leak on S390 hardware acceleration
[BUG]
After commit aa60fe12b4f4 ("btrfs: zlib: refactor S390x HW acceleration
buffer preparation"), we no longer release the folio of the page cache
of folio returned by btrfs_compress_filemap_get_folio() for S390
hardware acceleration path.
[CAUSE]
Before that commit, we call kumap_local() and folio_put() after handling
each folio.
Although the timing is not ideal (it release previous folio at the
beginning of the loop, and rely on some extra cleanup out of the loop),
it at least handles the folio release correctly.
Meanwhile the refactored code is easier to read, it lacks the call to
release the filemap folio.
[FIX]
Add the missing folio_put() for copy_data_into_buffer(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: correctly decode TTLM with default link map
TID-To-Link Mapping (TTLM) elements do not contain any link mapping
presence indicator if a default mapping is used and parsing needs to be
skipped.
Note that access points should not explicitly report an advertised TTLM
with a default mapping as that is the implied mapping if the element is
not included, this is even the case when switching back to the default
mapping. However, mac80211 would incorrectly parse the frame and would
also read one byte beyond the end of the element. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: virtuser: fix UAF in configfs release path
The gpio-virtuser configfs release path uses guard(mutex) to protect
the device structure. However, the device is freed before the guard
cleanup runs, causing mutex_unlock() to operate on freed memory.
Specifically, gpio_virtuser_device_config_group_release() destroys
the mutex and frees the device while still inside the guard(mutex)
scope. When the function returns, the guard cleanup invokes
mutex_unlock(&dev->lock), resulting in a slab use-after-free.
Limit the mutex lifetime by using a scoped_guard() only around the
activation check, so that the lock is released before mutex_destroy()
and kfree() are called. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix NULL pointer dereference in amdgpu_gmc_filter_faults_remove
On APUs such as Raven and Renoir (GC 9.1.0, 9.2.2, 9.3.0), the ih1 and
ih2 interrupt ring buffers are not initialized. This is by design, as
these secondary IH rings are only available on discrete GPUs. See
vega10_ih_sw_init() which explicitly skips ih1/ih2 initialization when
AMD_IS_APU is set.
However, amdgpu_gmc_filter_faults_remove() unconditionally uses ih1 to
get the timestamp of the last interrupt entry. When retry faults are
enabled on APUs (noretry=0), this function is called from the SVM page
fault recovery path, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference when
amdgpu_ih_decode_iv_ts_helper() attempts to access ih->ring[].
The crash manifests as:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000004

This issue was exposed by commit 1446226d32a4 ("drm/amdgpu: Remove GC HW
IP 9.3.0 from noretry=1") which changed the default for Renoir APU from
noretry=1 to noretry=0, enabling retry fault handling and thus
exercising the buggy code path.
Fix this by adding a check for ih1.ring_size before attempting to use
it. Also restore the soft_ih support from commit dd299441654f ("drm/amdgpu:
Rework retry fault removal"). This is needed if the hardware doesn't
support secondary HW IH rings.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().
syzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro.
It indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before
nci_close_device() was called via rfkill.
nci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which
(I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d
an fd of virtual_ncidev.
The problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq
first and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the
device from rfkill by rfkill_unregister().
So, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq
is destroyed.
Let's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device().
Note that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before
nci_close_device() because
1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees
all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to
ndev->conn_info_list
2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to
ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked
Thus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we
can remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().

essentially complaining about the following race:

- sees odd sequence so loops indefinitely
Note that a deadlock like this is only possible if the bdi has configured
maximum fraction of writeout throughput which is very rare in general but
frequent for example for FUSE bdis. To fix this problem we have to make
sure write section of the sequence counter is irqsafe. |

platform/x86: classmate-laptop: Add missing NULL pointer checks
In a few places in the Classmate laptop driver, code using the accel
object may run before that object's address is stored in the driver
data of the input device using it.
For example, cmpc_accel_sensitivity_store_v4() is the "show" method
of cmpc_accel_sensitivity_attr_v4 which is added in cmpc_accel_add_v4(),
before calling dev_set_drvdata() for inputdev->dev. If the sysfs
attribute is accessed prematurely, the dev_get_drvdata(&inputdev->dev)
call in in cmpc_accel_sensitivity_store_v4() returns NULL which
leads to a NULL pointer dereference going forward.
Moreover, sysfs attributes using the input device are added before
initializing that device by cmpc_add_acpi_notify_device() and if one
of them is accessed before running that function, a NULL pointer
dereference will occur.
For example, cmpc_accel_sensitivity_attr_v4 is added before calling
cmpc_add_acpi_notify_device() and if it is read prematurely, the
dev_get_drvdata(&acpi->dev) call in cmpc_accel_sensitivity_show_v4()
returns NULL which leads to a NULL pointer dereference going forward.
Fix this by adding NULL pointer checks in all of the relevant places. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: Fix RSS LUT NULL pointer crash on early ethtool operations
The RSS LUT is not initialized until the interface comes up, causing
the following NULL pointer crash when ethtool operations like rxhash on/off
are performed before the interface is brought up for the first time.
Move RSS LUT initialization from ndo_open to vport creation to ensure LUT
is always available. This enables RSS configuration via ethtool before
bringing the interface up. Simplify LUT management by maintaining all
changes in the driver's soft copy and programming zeros to the indirection
table when rxhash is disabled. Defer HW programming until the interface
comes up if it is down during rxhash and LUT configuration changes.
Steps to reproduce:
** Load idpf driver; interfaces will be created
modprobe idpf
** Before bringing the interfaces up, turn rxhash off
ethtool -K eth2 rxhash off

The issue is that the delegreturn is being asked to wait for a layout
return that cannot complete because a state recovery was initiated. The
state recovery cannot complete until the open() finishes processing the
delegations it was given.
The solution is to propagate the existing flags that indicate a
non-blocking call to the function pnfs_roc(), so that it knows not to
wait in this situation. |

NFS: Fix a deadlock involving nfs_release_folio()
Wang Zhaolong reports a deadlock involving NFSv4.1 state recovery
waiting on kthreadd, which is attempting to reclaim memory by calling
nfs_release_folio(). The latter cannot make progress due to state
recovery being needed.
It seems that the only safe thing to do here is to kick off a writeback
of the folio, without waiting for completion, or else kicking off an
asynchronous commit. |

mm/vma: fix anon_vma UAF on mremap() faulted, unfaulted merge
Patch series "mm/vma: fix anon_vma UAF on mremap() faulted, unfaulted
merge", v2.
Commit 879bca0a2c4f ("mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA
merges") introduced the ability to merge previously unavailable VMA merge
scenarios.
However, it is handling merges incorrectly when it comes to mremap() of a
faulted VMA adjacent to an unfaulted VMA. The issues arise in three
cases:
1. Previous VMA unfaulted:
copied -----|
v
|-----------|.............|
| unfaulted |(faulted VMA)|
|-----------|.............|
prev
2. Next VMA unfaulted:
copied -----|
v
|.............|-----------|
|(faulted VMA)| unfaulted |
|.............|-----------|
next
3. Both adjacent VMAs unfaulted:
copied -----|
v
|-----------|.............|-----------|
| unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted |
|-----------|.............|-----------|
prev next
This series fixes each of these cases, and introduces self tests to assert
that the issues are corrected.
I also test a further case which was already handled, to assert that my
changes continues to correctly handle it:
4. prev unfaulted, next faulted:
copied -----|
v
|-----------|.............|-----------|
| unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| faulted |
|-----------|.............|-----------|
prev next
This bug was discovered via a syzbot report, linked to in the first patch
in the series, I confirmed that this series fixes the bug.
I also discovered that we are failing to check that the faulted VMA was
not forked when merging a copied VMA in cases 1-3 above, an issue this
series also addresses.
I also added self tests to assert that this is resolved (and confirmed
that the tests failed prior to this).
I also cleaned up vma_expand() as part of this work, renamed
vma_had_uncowed_parents() to vma_is_fork_child() as the previous name was
unduly confusing, and simplified the comments around this function.
This patch (of 4):
Commit 879bca0a2c4f ("mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA
merges") introduced the ability to merge previously unavailable VMA merge
scenarios.
The key piece of logic introduced was the ability to merge a faulted VMA
immediately next to an unfaulted VMA, which relies upon dup_anon_vma() to
correctly handle anon_vma state.
In the case of the merge of an existing VMA (that is changing properties
of a VMA and then merging if those properties are shared by adjacent
VMAs), dup_anon_vma() is invoked correctly.
However in the case of the merge of a new VMA, a corner case peculiar to
mremap() was missed.
The issue is that vma_expand() only performs dup_anon_vma() if the target
(the VMA that will ultimately become the merged VMA): is not the next VMA,
i.e. the one that appears after the range in which the new VMA is to be
established.
A key insight here is that in all other cases other than mremap(), a new
VMA merge either expands an existing VMA, meaning that the target VMA will
be that VMA, or would have anon_vma be NULL.
Specifically:
* __mmap_region() - no anon_vma in place, initial mapping.
* do_brk_flags() - expanding an existing VMA.
* vma_merge_extend() - expanding an existing VMA.
* relocate_vma_down() - no anon_vma in place, initial mapping.
In addition, we are in the unique situation of needing to duplicate
anon_vma state from a VMA that is neither the previous or next VMA being
merged with.
dup_anon_vma() deals exclusively with the target=unfaulted, src=faulted
case. This leaves four possibilities, in each case where the copied VMA
is faulted:
1. Previous VMA unfaulted:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netrom: fix double-free in nr_route_frame()
In nr_route_frame(), old_skb is immediately freed without checking if
nr_neigh->ax25 pointer is NULL. Therefore, if nr_neigh->ax25 is NULL,
the caller function will free old_skb again, causing a double-free bug.
Therefore, to prevent this, we need to modify it to check whether
nr_neigh->ax25 is NULL before freeing old_skb. |
