CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbnet: Prevents free active kevent
The root cause of this issue are:
1. When probing the usbnet device, executing usbnet_link_change(dev, 0, 0);
put the kevent work in global workqueue. However, the kevent has not yet
been scheduled when the usbnet device is unregistered. Therefore, executing
free_netdev() results in the "free active object (kevent)" error reported
here.
2. Another factor is that when calling usbnet_disconnect()->unregister_netdev(),
if the usbnet device is up, ndo_stop() is executed to cancel the kevent.
However, because the device is not up, ndo_stop() is not executed.
The solution to this problem is to cancel the kevent before executing
free_netdev(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: make sure last_fence is always updated
Update last_fence in the vm-bind path instead of kernel managed path.
last_fence is used to wait for work to finish in vm_bind contexts but not
used for kernel managed contexts.
This fixes a bug where last_fence is not waited on context close leading
to faults as resources are freed while in use.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: Fix race condition between concurrent dwc3_remove_requests() call paths
This patch addresses a race condition caused by unsynchronized
execution of multiple call paths invoking `dwc3_remove_requests()`,
leading to premature freeing of USB requests and subsequent crashes.
Three distinct execution paths interact with `dwc3_remove_requests()`:
Path 1:
Triggered via `dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt()` during USB reset
handling. The call stack includes:
- `dwc3_ep0_reset_state()`
- `dwc3_ep0_stall_and_restart()`
- `dwc3_ep0_out_start()`
- `dwc3_remove_requests()`
- `dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()`
Path 2:
Also initiated from `dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt()`, but through
`dwc3_stop_active_transfers()`. The call stack includes:
- `dwc3_stop_active_transfers()`
- `dwc3_remove_requests()`
- `dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()`
Path 3:
Occurs independently during `adb root` execution, which triggers
USB function unbind and bind operations. The sequence includes:
- `gserial_disconnect()`
- `usb_ep_disable()`
- `dwc3_gadget_ep_disable()`
- `dwc3_remove_requests()` with `-ESHUTDOWN` status
Path 3 operates asynchronously and lacks synchronization with Paths
1 and 2. When Path 3 completes, it disables endpoints and frees 'out'
requests. If Paths 1 or 2 are still processing these requests,
accessing freed memory leads to a crash due to use-after-free conditions.
To fix this added check for request completion and skip processing
if already completed and added the request status for ep0 while queue. |

usb: gadget: f_eem: Fix memory leak in eem_unwrap
The existing code did not handle the failure case of usb_ep_queue in the
command path, potentially leading to memory leaks.
Improve error handling to free all allocated resources on usb_ep_queue
failure. This patch continues to use goto logic for error handling, as the
existing error handling is complex and not easily adaptable to auto-cleanup
helpers.

scsi: ufs: core: Fix invalid probe error return value
After DME Link Startup, the error return value is set to the MIPI UniPro
GenericErrorCode which can be 0 (SUCCESS) or 1 (FAILURE). Upon failure
during driver probe, the error code 1 is propagated back to the driver
probe function which must return a negative value to indicate an error,
but 1 is not negative, so the probe is considered to be successful even
though it failed. Subsequently, removing the driver results in an oops
because it is not in a valid state.
This happens because none of the callers of ufshcd_init() expect a
non-negative error code.
Fix the return value and documentation to match actual usage. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netconsole: Acquire su_mutex before navigating configs hierarchy
There is a race between operations that iterate over the userdata
cg_children list and concurrent add/remove of userdata items through
configfs. The update_userdata() function iterates over the
nt->userdata_group.cg_children list, and count_extradata_entries() also
iterates over this same list to count nodes.
Quoting from Documentation/filesystems/configfs.rst:
> A subsystem can navigate the cg_children list and the ci_parent pointer
> to see the tree created by the subsystem. This can race with configfs'
> management of the hierarchy, so configfs uses the subsystem mutex to
> protect modifications. Whenever a subsystem wants to navigate the
> hierarchy, it must do so under the protection of the subsystem
> mutex.
Without proper locking, if a userdata item is added or removed
concurrently while these functions are iterating, the list can be
accessed in an inconsistent state. For example, the list_for_each() loop
can reach a node that is being removed from the list by list_del_init()
which sets the nodes' .next pointer to point to itself, so the loop will
never end (or reach the WARN_ON_ONCE in update_userdata() ).
Fix this by holding the configfs subsystem mutex (su_mutex) during all
operations that iterate over cg_children.
This includes:
- userdatum_value_store() which calls update_userdata() to iterate over
cg_children
- All sysdata_*_enabled_store() functions which call
count_extradata_entries() to iterate over cg_children
The su_mutex must be acquired before dynamic_netconsole_mutex to avoid
potential lock ordering issues, as configfs operations may already hold
su_mutex when calling into our code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Fix dma_buf object leak in fastrpc_map_lookup
In fastrpc_map_lookup, dma_buf_get is called to obtain a reference to
the dma_buf for comparison purposes. However, this reference is never
released when the function returns, leading to a dma_buf memory leak.
Fix this by adding dma_buf_put before returning from the function,
ensuring that the temporarily acquired reference is properly released
regardless of whether a matching map is found.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: avoid infinite loops due to corrupted subpage compact indexes
Robert reported an infinite loop observed by two crafted images.
The root cause is that `clusterofs` can be larger than `lclustersize`
for !NONHEAD `lclusters` in corrupted subpage compact indexes, e.g.:
blocksize = lclustersize = 512 lcn = 6 clusterofs = 515
Move the corresponding check for full compress indexes to
`z_erofs_load_lcluster_from_disk()` to also cover subpage compact
compress indexes.
It also fixes the position of `m->type >= Z_EROFS_LCLUSTER_TYPE_MAX`
check, since it should be placed right after
`z_erofs_load_{compact,full}_lcluster()`. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hung_task: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers
The blocker tracking mechanism assumes that lock pointers are at least
4-byte aligned to use their lower bits for type encoding.
However, as reported by Eero Tamminen, some architectures like m68k
only guarantee 2-byte alignment of 32-bit values. This breaks the
assumption and causes two related WARN_ON_ONCE checks to trigger.
To fix this, the runtime checks are adjusted to silently ignore any lock
that is not 4-byte aligned, effectively disabling the feature in such
cases and avoiding the related warnings.

most: usb: hdm_probe: Fix calling put_device() before device initialization
The early error path in hdm_probe() can jump to err_free_mdev before
&mdev->dev has been initialized with device_initialize(). Calling
put_device(&mdev->dev) there triggers a device core WARN and ends up
invoking kref_put(&kobj->kref, kobject_release) on an uninitialized
kobject.
In this path the private struct was only kmalloc'ed and the intended
release is effectively kfree(mdev) anyway, so free it directly instead
of calling put_device() on an uninitialized device.
This removes the WARNING and fixes the pre-initialization error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vmw_balloon: indicate success when effectively deflating during migration
When migrating a balloon page, we first deflate the old page to then
inflate the new page.
However, if inflating the new page succeeded, we effectively deflated the
old page, reducing the balloon size.
In that case, the migration actually worked: similar to migrating+
immediately deflating the new page. The old page will be freed back to
the buddy.
Right now, the core will leave the page be marked as isolated (as we
returned an error). When later trying to putback that page, we will run
into the WARN_ON_ONCE() in balloon_page_putback().
That handling was changed in commit 3544c4faccb8 ("mm/balloon_compaction:
stop using __ClearPageMovable()"); before that change, we would have
tolerated that way of handling it.
To fix it, let's just return 0 in that case, making the core effectively
just clear the "isolated" flag + freeing it back to the buddy as if the
migration succeeded. Note that the new page will also get freed when the
core puts the last reference.
Note that this also makes it all be more consistent: we will no longer
unisolate the page in the balloon driver while keeping it marked as being
isolated in migration core.
This was found by code inspection. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-timers: Plug potential memory leak in do_timer_create()
When posix timer creation is set to allocate a given timer ID and the
access to the user space value faults, the function terminates without
freeing the already allocated posix timer structure.
Move the allocation after the user space access to cure that.

drm/i915: Avoid lock inversion when pinning to GGTT on CHV/BXT+VTD
On completion of i915_vma_pin_ww(), a synchronous variant of
dma_fence_work_commit() is called. When pinning a VMA to GGTT address
space on a Cherry View family processor, or on a Broxton generation SoC
with VTD enabled, i.e., when stop_machine() is then called from
intel_ggtt_bind_vma(), that can potentially lead to lock inversion among
reservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()
If the TLS security policy is of type RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509, then the
cert_serial and privkey_serial fields need to match as well since they
define the client's identity, as presented to the server. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Fix LTP test failures when timestamps are delegated
The utimes01 and utime06 tests fail when delegated timestamps are
enabled, specifically in subtests that modify the atime and mtime
fields using the 'nobody' user ID.
The problem can be reproduced as follow:
# echo "/media *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" >> /etc/exports
# export -ra
# mount -o rw,nfsvers=4.2 127.0.0.1:/media /tmpdir
# cd /opt/ltp
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utimes01
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utime06
This issue occurs because nfs_setattr does not verify the inode's
UID against the caller's fsuid when delegated timestamps are
permitted for the inode.
This patch adds the UID check and if it does not match then the
request is sent to the server for permission checking. |

ipv4: route: Prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnhe
The sit driver's packet transmission path calls: sit_tunnel_xmit() ->
update_or_create_fnhe(), which lead to fnhe_remove_oldest() being called
to delete entries exceeding FNHE_RECLAIM_DEPTH+random.
The race window is between fnhe_remove_oldest() selecting fnheX for
deletion and the subsequent kfree_rcu(). During this time, the
concurrent path's __mkroute_output() -> find_exception() can fetch the
soon-to-be-deleted fnheX, and rt_bind_exception() then binds it with a
new dst using a dst_hold(). When the original fnheX is freed via RCU,
the dst reference remains permanently leaked.

find_exception() [fnheX]
update_or_create_fnhe()

This issue manifests as a device reference count leak and a warning in
dmesg when unregistering the net device:

Ido Schimmel provided the simple test validation method [1].
The fix clears 'oldest->fnhe_daddr' before calling fnhe_flush_routes().
Since rt_bind_exception() checks this field, setting it to zero prevents
the stale fnhe from being reused and bound to a new dst just before it
is freed.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: avoid having an active sc_timer before freeing sci
Because kthread_stop did not stop sc_task properly and returned -EINTR,
the sc_timer was not properly closed, ultimately causing the problem [1]
reported by syzbot when freeing sci due to the sc_timer not being closed.
Because the thread sc_task main function nilfs_segctor_thread() returns 0
when it succeeds, when the return value of kthread_stop() is not 0 in
nilfs_segctor_destroy(), we believe that it has not properly closed
sc_timer.
We use timer_shutdown_sync() to sync wait for sc_timer to shutdown, and
set the value of sc_task to NULL under the protection of lock
sc_state_lock, so as to avoid the issue caused by sc_timer not being
properly shutdowned.

mptcp: Fix proto fallback detection with BPF
The sockmap feature allows bpf syscall from userspace, or based

'''
When the server has MPTCP enabled but the client sends a TCP SYN
without MPTCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() performs a fallback on the

'''

Then, this subflow can be normally used by sockmap, which replaces the
native sk_prot with sockmap's custom sk_prot. The issue occurs when the
user executes accept::mptcp_stream_accept::mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops().
Here, it uses sk->sk_prot to compare with the native sk_prot, but this
is incorrect when sockmap is used, as we may incorrectly set
sk->sk_socket->ops.
This fix uses the more generic sk_family for the comparison instead.
Additionally, this also prevents a WARNING from occurring:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix incomplete backport in cfids_invalidation_worker()
The previous commit bdb596ceb4b7 ("smb: client: fix potential UAF in
smb2_close_cached_fid()") was an incomplete backport and missed one
kref_put() call in cfids_invalidation_worker() that should have been
converted to close_cached_dir(). |
