| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: pch_uart: add check for dma_alloc_coherent()
Add a check for dma_alloc_coherent() failure to prevent a potential
NULL pointer dereference in dma_handle_rx(). Properly release DMA
channels and the PCI device reference using a goto ladder if the
allocation fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: ioam: add NULL check for idev in ipv6_hop_ioam()
Reported by Sashiko:
The function ipv6_hop_ioam() accesses
__in6_dev_get(skb->dev)->cnf.ioam6_enabled without validating the returned
idev pointer. Because addrconf_ifdown() can concurrently clear dev->ip6_ptr
via RCU, __in6_dev_get() can return NULL during interface teardown, which
could cause a NULL pointer dereference when processing an IOAM Hop-by-Hop
option.
Let's add a check and use SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DISABLED accordingly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: codecs: pcm512x: fix null-ptr dereference in pcm512x_overclock_xxx_put()
In the pcm512x chipset driver, pcm512x_overclock_xxx_put() is defined as
a general mixer kcontrol instead of a DAPM kcontrol, so struct
snd_soc_dapm_context must not be accessed via
snd_soc_dapm_kcontrol_to_dapm().
This causes a NULL pointer dereference, so it must be modified to use
snd_soc_component_to_dapm(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: os_dep: avoid NULL pointer dereference in rtw_cbuf_alloc
The return value of kzalloc_flex() is used without
ensuring that the allocation succeeded, and the
pointer is dereferenced unconditionally.
Guard the access to the allocated structure to
avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference if the
allocation fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: Allocate runtime workqueue before ACPI init
Since commit
5894cf571e14 ("acpi/prmt: Use EFI runtime sandbox to invoke PRM handlers")
ACPI PRM calls are delegated to a workqueue which runs in a kernel
thread, making it easier to detect and mitigate faulting memory accesses
performed by the firmware.
Rafael reports that such PRM accesses may occur before efisubsys_init()
executes, which is where the workqueue is allocated, leading to NULL
pointer dereferences. Since acpi_init() [which triggers the early PRM
accesses] executes as a subsys_initcall() as well, and has its own
dependencies that may be sensitive to initcall ordering, deferring
acpi_init() is not an option.
So instead, split off the workqueue allocation into its own postcore
initcall, as this is the only missing piece to allow EFI runtime calls
to be made. This ensures that EFI runtime call (including PRM calls) are
accessible to all code running at subsys_initcall() level. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: don't dereference a pointer before NULL checking it
In iwl_mld_remove_link, the link->fw_id is saved at the beginning of the
function so we have it after we freed the link.
But the link pointer can be NULL, and is not checked when the fw_id is
stored.
Fix it by simply freeing the link at the end of the function.

powerpc/time: Remove redundant preempt_disable|enable() calls from arch_irq_work_raise()
A kernel panic is observed when handling machine check exceptions from
real mode.

The crash occurs because arch_irq_work_raise() calls preempt_disable()
from machine check exception (MCE) handlers running in real mode. In
this context, accessing the preempt_count can fault, leading to the panic.
The preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair in arch_irq_work_raise()
was originally added by commit 0fe1ac48bef0 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix
oops due to perf_event_do_pending call") to avoid races while raising
irq work from exception context.
Later, commit 471ba0e686cb ("irq_work: Do not raise an IPI when
queueing work on the local CPU") added preemption protection in
irq_work_queue() path, while commit 20b876918c06 ("irq_work: Use per
cpu atomics instead of regular atomics") added equivalent
protection in irq_work_queue_on() before reaching arch_irq_work_raise():
irq_work_queue() / irq_work_queue_on()
-> preempt_disable()
-> __irq_work_queue_local()
-> irq_work_raise()
-> arch_irq_work_raise()
As a result, callers other than mce_irq_work_raise() already execute
with preemption disabled, making the additional
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair in arch_irq_work_raise()
redundant.
The arch_irq_work_raise() function executes in NMI context when called
from MCE handler. Hence we will not be preempted or scheduled out since
we are in NMI context with MSR[EE]=0. Therefore, it is safe to remove
the preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() calls from here.
Remove it to avoid accessing preempt_count from real mode context.

batman-adv: bla: avoid NULL-ptr deref for claim via dropped interface
Without rtnl_lock held, a hardif might be retrieved as primary interface of
a meshif, but then (while operating on this interface) getting decoupled
from the mesh interface. In this case, the meshif still exists but the
pointer from the primary hardif to the meshif is set to NULL.
The mesh_iface must be checked first to be non-NULL before continuing to
send an ARP request using meshif. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/fbdev-dma: Add shadow buffering for deferred I/O
DMA areas are not necessarily backed by struct page, so we cannot
rely on it for deferred I/O. Allocate a shadow buffer for drivers
that require deferred I/O and use it as framebuffer memory.
Fixes driver errors about being "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
dereference at virtual address" or "Unable to handle kernel paging
request at virtual address".
The patch splits drm_fbdev_dma_driver_fbdev_probe() in an initial
allocation, which creates the DMA-backed buffer object, and a tail
that sets up the fbdev data structures. There is a tail function for
direct memory mappings and a tail function for deferred I/O with
the shadow buffer.
It is no longer possible to use deferred I/O without shadow buffer.
It can be re-added if there exists a reliably test for usable struct
page in the allocated DMA-backed buffer object. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix error propagation of split bios
The purpose of btrfs_bbio_propagate_error() shall be propagating an error
of split bio to its original btrfs_bio, and tell the error to the upper
layer. However, it's not working well on some cases.
* Case 1. Immediate (or quick) end_bio with an error
When btrfs sends btrfs_bio to mirrored devices, btrfs calls
btrfs_bio_end_io() when all the mirroring bios are completed. If that
btrfs_bio was split, it is from btrfs_clone_bioset and its end_io function
is btrfs_orig_write_end_io. For this case, btrfs_bbio_propagate_error()
accesses the orig_bbio's bio context to increase the error count.
That works well in most cases. However, if the end_io is called enough
fast, orig_bbio's (remaining part after split) bio context may not be
properly set at that time. Since the bio context is set when the orig_bbio
(the last btrfs_bio) is sent to devices, that might be too late for earlier
split btrfs_bio's completion. That will result in NULL pointer
dereference.
That bug is easily reproducible by running btrfs/146 on zoned devices [1]
and it shows the following trace.
[1] You need raid-stripe-tree feature as it create "-d raid0 -m raid1" FS.

net: fix NULL pointer in skb_segment_list
Commit 3a1296a38d0c ("net: Support GRO/GSO fraglist chaining.")
introduced UDP listifyed GRO. The segmentation relies on frag_list being
untouched when passing through the network stack. This assumption can be
broken sometimes, where frag_list itself gets pulled into linear area,
leaving frag_list being NULL. When this happens it can trigger
following NULL pointer dereference, and panic the kernel. Reverse the
test condition should fix it.

wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in ieee80211_ml_epcs
IEEE80211_MLE_STA_EPCS_CONTROL_LINK_ID is 0x000f, so link_id extracted
from a PRIO_ACCESS ML element PER_STA_PROFILE subelement can be 0..15.
sdata->link[] has IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15) entries (indices 0..14),
making index 15 out-of-bounds.
A connected WiFi 7 AP can trigger this by sending an EPCS Enable Response
action frame with a PER_STA_PROFILE subelement where link_id = 15. The
unsolicited-notification path (dialog_token = 0) is reachable any time
EPCS is already enabled, without any prior client request.
sdata->link[15] reads into the first word of sdata->activate_links_work
(a wiphy_work whose embedded list_head is non-NULL after INIT_LIST_HEAD),
so the NULL check on the result does not catch the invalid access. The
garbage pointer is then passed to ieee80211_sta_wmm_params(), which
dereferences link->sdata and crashes the kernel.
The same class of bug was fixed for ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration() by
commit 162d331d833d ("wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: No more self recovery
When a node withdraws and it turns out that it is the only node that has
the filesystem mounted, gfs2 currently tries to replay the local journal
to bring the filesystem back into a consistent state. Not only is that
a very bad idea, it has also never worked because gfs2_recover_func()
will refuse to do anything during a withdraw.
However, before even getting to this point, gfs2_recover_func()
dereferences sdp->sd_jdesc->jd_inode. This was a use-after-free before
commit 04133b607a78 ("gfs2: Prevent double iput for journal on error")
and is a NULL pointer dereference since then.
Simply get rid of self recovery to fix that. |

net: clear the dst when changing skb protocol
A not-so-careful NAT46 BPF program can crash the kernel
if it indiscriminately flips ingress packets from v4 to v6:

udp_send_skb (net/ipv4/udp.c:1040:8)
udp_sendmsg (net/ipv4/udp.c:1328:10)
The output interface has a 4->6 program attached at ingress.
We try to loop the multicast skb back to the sending socket.
Ingress BPF runs as part of netif_rx(), pushes a valid v6 hdr
and changes skb->protocol to v6. We enter ip6_rcv_core which
tries to use skb_dst(). But the dst is still an IPv4 one left
after IPv4 mcast output.
Clear the dst in all BPF helpers which change the protocol.
Try to preserve metadata dsts, those may carry non-routing
metadata. |

xenbus: Use kref to track req lifetime
Marek reported seeing a NULL pointer fault in the xenbus_thread
callstack:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: e030:__wake_up_common+0x4c/0x180
Call Trace:
<TASK>
__wake_up_common_lock+0x82/0xd0
process_msg+0x18e/0x2f0
xenbus_thread+0x165/0x1c0
process_msg+0x18e is req->cb(req). req->cb is set to xs_wake_up(), a
thin wrapper around wake_up(), or xenbus_dev_queue_reply(). It seems
like it was xs_wake_up() in this case.
It seems like req may have woken up the xs_wait_for_reply(), which
kfree()ed the req. When xenbus_thread resumes, it faults on the zero-ed
data.
Linux Device Drivers 2nd edition states:
"Normally, a wake_up call can cause an immediate reschedule to happen,
meaning that other processes might run before wake_up returns."
... which would match the behaviour observed.
Change to keeping two krefs on each request. One for the caller, and
one for xenbus_thread. Each will kref_put() when finished, and the last
will free it.
This use of kref matches the description in
Documentation/core-api/kref.rst |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Verify event formats that have "%*p.."
The trace event verifier checks the formats of trace events to make sure
that they do not point at memory that is not in the trace event itself or
in data that will never be freed. If an event references data that was
allocated when the event triggered and that same data is freed before the
event is read, then the kernel can crash by reading freed memory.
The verifier runs at boot up (or module load) and scans the print formats
of the events and checks their arguments to make sure that dereferenced
pointers are safe. If the format uses "%*p.." the verifier will ignore it,
and that could be dangerous. Cover this case as well.
Also add to the sample code a use case of "%*pbl". |
