| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ecm: 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:
console:/ # ls -l /sys/class/net/usb0
lrwxrwxrwx ... /sys/class/net/usb0 ->
/sys/devices/platform/.../gadget.0/net/usb0
console:/ # ls -l /sys/devices/platform/.../gadget.0/net/usb0
ls: .../gadget.0/net/usb0: No such file or directory
Use device_move() to reparent the net_device between the gadget device
tree and /sys/devices/virtual across bind and unbind cycles. During the
final unbind, calling device_move(NULL) moves the net_device to the
virtual device tree before the gadget device is destroyed. On rebinding,
device_move() reparents the device back under the new gadget, ensuring
proper sysfs topology and power management ordering.
To maintain compatibility with legacy composite drivers (e.g., multi.c),
the bound flag is used to indicate whether the network device is shared
and pre-registered during the legacy driver's bind phase. |

wifi: rtw88: fix device leak on probe failure
Driver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB
device while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to
take additional references unless the structures are needed after
disconnect.
This driver takes a reference to the USB device during probe but does
not to release it on all probe errors (e.g. when descriptor parsing
fails).
Drop the redundant device reference to fix the leak, reduce cargo
culting, make it easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is
needed, and reduce the risk of further memory leaks. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix double-free of smc_spd_priv when tee() duplicates splice pipe buffer
smc_rx_splice() allocates one smc_spd_priv per pipe_buffer and stores
the pointer in pipe_buffer.private. The pipe_buf_operations for these
buffers used .get = generic_pipe_buf_get, which only increments the page
reference count when tee(2) duplicates a pipe buffer. The smc_spd_priv
pointer itself was not handled, so after tee() both the original and the
cloned pipe_buffer share the same smc_spd_priv *.
When both pipes are subsequently released, smc_rx_pipe_buf_release() is
called twice against the same object:
1st call: kfree(priv) sock_put(sk) smc_rx_update_cons() [correct]
2nd call: kfree(priv) sock_put(sk) smc_rx_update_cons() [UAF]
KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in smc_rx_pipe_buf_release(), which
then escalates to a NULL-pointer dereference and kernel panic via
smc_rx_update_consumer() when it chases the freed priv->smc pointer:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Beyond the memory-safety problem, duplicating an SMC splice buffer is
semantically questionable: smc_rx_update_cons() would advance the
consumer cursor twice for the same data, corrupting receive-window
accounting. A refcount on smc_spd_priv could fix the double-free, but
the cursor-accounting issue would still need to be addressed separately.
The .get callback is invoked by both tee(2) and splice_pipe_to_pipe()
for partial transfers; both will now return -EFAULT. Users who need
to duplicate SMC socket data must use a copy-based read path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Fix deadlock during netdev reset with active connections
Resolve deadlock that occurs when user executes netdev reset while RDMA
applications (e.g., rping) are active. The netdev reset causes ice
driver to remove irdma auxiliary driver, triggering device_delete and
subsequent client removal. During client removal, uverbs_client waits
for QP reference count to reach zero while cma_client holds the final
reference, creating circular dependency and indefinite wait in iWARP
mode. Skip QP reference count wait during device reset to prevent
deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Only put the call ref if one was acquired
rxrpc_input_packet_on_conn() can process a to-client packet after the
current client call on the channel has already been torn down. In that
case chan->call is NULL, rxrpc_try_get_call() returns NULL and there is
no reference to drop.
The client-side implicit-end error path does not account for that and
unconditionally calls rxrpc_put_call(). This turns a protocol error
path into a kernel crash instead of rejecting the packet.
Only drop the call reference if one was actually acquired. Keep the
existing protocol error handling unchanged. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix key reference count leak from call->key
When creating a client call in rxrpc_alloc_client_call(), the code obtains
a reference to the key. This is never cleaned up and gets leaked when the
call is destroyed.
Fix this by freeing call->key in rxrpc_destroy_call().
Before the patch, it shows the key reference counter elevated:
$ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321
1bffe9cd I--Q--i 8053480 4169w 3b010000 1000 1000 rxrpc afs@54321: ka
$
After the patch, the invalidated key is removed when the code exits:
$ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321
$ |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rt2x00usb: fix devres lifetime
USB drivers bind to USB interfaces and any device managed resources
should have their lifetime tied to the interface rather than parent USB
device. This avoids issues like memory leaks when drivers are unbound
without their devices being physically disconnected (e.g. on probe
deferral or configuration changes).
Fix the USB anchor lifetime so that it is released on driver unbind. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: Purge async_hold in tls_decrypt_async_wait()
The async_hold queue pins encrypted input skbs while
the AEAD engine references their scatterlist data. Once
tls_decrypt_async_wait() returns, every AEAD operation
has completed and the engine no longer references those
skbs, so they can be freed unconditionally.
A subsequent patch adds batch async decryption to
tls_sw_read_sock(), introducing a new call site that
must drain pending AEAD operations and release held
skbs. Move __skb_queue_purge(&ctx->async_hold) into
tls_decrypt_async_wait() so the purge is centralized
and every caller -- recvmsg's drain path, the -EBUSY
fallback in tls_do_decryption(), and the new read_sock
batch path -- releases held skbs on synchronization
without each site managing the purge independently.
This fixes a leak when tls_strp_msg_hold() fails part-way through,
after having added some cloned skbs to the async_hold
queue. tls_decrypt_sg() will then call tls_decrypt_async_wait() to
process all pending decrypts, and drop back to synchronous mode, but
tls_sw_recvmsg() only flushes the async_hold queue when one record has
been processed in "fully-async" mode, which may not be the case here.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_CT: drop pending enqueued packets on template removal
Templates refer to objects that can go away while packets are sitting in
nfqueue refer to:
- helper, this can be an issue on module removal.
- timeout policy, nfnetlink_cttimeout might remove it.
The use of templates with zone and event cache filter are safe, since
this just copies values.
Flush these enqueued packets in case the template rule gets removed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clsact: Fix use-after-free in init/destroy rollback asymmetry
Fix a use-after-free in the clsact qdisc upon init/destroy rollback asymmetry.
The latter is achieved by first fully initializing a clsact instance, and
then in a second step having a replacement failure for the new clsact qdisc
instance. clsact_init() initializes ingress first and then takes care of the
egress part. This can fail midway, for example, via tcf_block_get_ext(). Upon
failure, the kernel will trigger the clsact_destroy() callback.
Commit 1cb6f0bae504 ("bpf: Fix too early release of tcx_entry") details the
way how the transition is happening. If tcf_block_get_ext on the q->ingress_block
ends up failing, we took the tcx_miniq_inc reference count on the ingress
side, but not yet on the egress side. clsact_destroy() tests whether the
{ingress,egress}_entry was non-NULL. However, even in midway failure on the
replacement, both are in fact non-NULL with a valid egress_entry from the
previous clsact instance.
What we really need to test for is whether the qdisc instance-specific ingress
or egress side previously got initialized. This adds a small helper for checking
the miniq initialization called mini_qdisc_pair_inited, and utilizes that upon
clsact_destroy() in order to fix the use-after-free scenario. Convert the
ingress_destroy() side as well so both are consistent to each other. |

The actions that caused that seem to be:
- Set the MPTCP subflows limit to 0
- Create an MPTCP endpoint with both the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags
- Create a new MPTCP connection from a different address: an ADD_ADDR
linked to the MPTCP endpoint will be sent ('signal' flag), but no
subflows is initiated ('subflow' flag)
- Remove the MPTCP endpoint

drm/logicvc: Fix device node reference leak in logicvc_drm_config_parse()
The logicvc_drm_config_parse() function calls of_get_child_by_name() to
find the "layers" node but fails to release the reference, leading to a
device node reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute to automatic
release the reference when the variable goes out of scope. |

inet: frags: drop fraglist conntrack references
Jakub added a warning in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() to make debugging
leaked skbs/conntrack references more obvious.
syzbot reports this as triggering, and I can also reproduce this via
ip_defrag.sh selftest:
conntrack cleanup blocked for 60s
WARNING: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:2512
[..]
conntrack clenups gets stuck because there are skbs with still hold nf_conn
references via their frag_list.
net.core.skb_defer_max=0 makes the hang disappear.
Eric Dumazet points out that skb_release_head_state() doesn't follow the
fraglist.
ip_defrag.sh can only reproduce this problem since
commit 6471658dc66c ("udp: use skb_attempt_defer_free()"), but AFAICS this
problem could happen with TCP as well if pmtu discovery is off.
The relevant problem path for udp is:
1. netns emits fragmented packets
2. nf_defrag_v6_hook reassembles them (in output hook)
3. reassembled skb is tracked (skb owns nf_conn reference)
4. ip6_output refragments
5. refragmented packets also own nf_conn reference (ip6_fragment
calls ip6_copy_metadata())
6. on input path, nf_defrag_v6_hook skips defragmentation: the
fragments already have skb->nf_conn attached
7. skbs are reassembled via ipv6_frag_rcv()
8. skb_consume_udp -> skb_attempt_defer_free() -> skb ends up
in pcpu freelist, but still has nf_conn reference.
Possible solutions:
1 let defrag engine drop nf_conn entry, OR
2 export kick_defer_list_purge() and call it from the conntrack
netns exit callback, OR
3 add skb_has_frag_list() check to skb_attempt_defer_free()
2 & 3 also solve ip_defrag.sh hang but share same drawback:
Such reassembled skbs, queued to socket, can prevent conntrack module
removal until userspace has consumed the packet. While both tcp and udp
stack do call nf_reset_ct() before placing skb on socket queue, that
function doesn't iterate frag_list skbs.
Therefore drop nf_conn entries when they are placed in defrag queue.
Keep the nf_conn entry of the first (offset 0) skb so that reassembled
skb retains nf_conn entry for sake of TX path.
Note that fixes tag is incorrect; it points to the commit introducing the
'ip_defrag.sh reproducible problem': no need to backport this patch to
every stable kernel. |

This happens because, although `prepare_fb` and `cleanup_fb` are
perfectly balanced, we cannot guarantee consistency in the check
plane->state->fb == state->fb. This means that sometimes we can increase
the refcount in `prepare_fb` and don't decrease it in `cleanup_fb`. The
opposite can also be true.
In fact, the struct drm_plane .state shouldn't be accessed directly
but instead, the `drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state()` helper function should
be used. So, we could stick to this check, but using
`drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state()`. But actually, this check is not re

iommu/arm-smmu: Fix arm_smmu_device refcount leak when arm_smmu_rpm_get fails
arm_smmu_rpm_get() invokes pm_runtime_get_sync(), which increases the
refcount of the "smmu" even though the return value is less than 0.
The reference counting issue happens in some error handling paths of
arm_smmu_rpm_get() in its caller functions. When arm_smmu_rpm_get()
fails, the caller functions forget to decrease the refcount of "smmu"
increased by arm_smmu_rpm_get(), causing a refcount leak.
Fix this issue by calling pm_runtime_resume_and_get() instead of
pm_runtime_get_sync() in arm_smmu_rpm_get(), which can keep the refcount
balanced in case of failure. |
| The reference count changes made as part of the CVE-2023-33951 and CVE-2023-33952 fixes exposed a use-after-free flaw in the way memory objects were handled when they were being used to store a surface. When running inside a VMware guest with 3D acceleration enabled, a local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
devlink: rate: Unset parent pointer in devl_rate_nodes_destroy
The function devl_rate_nodes_destroy is documented to "Unset parent for
all rate objects". However, it was only calling the driver-specific
`rate_leaf_parent_set` or `rate_node_parent_set` ops and decrementing
the parent's refcount, without actually setting the
`devlink_rate->parent` pointer to NULL.
This leaves a dangling pointer in the `devlink_rate` struct, which cause
refcount error in netdevsim[1] and mlx5[2]. In addition, this is
inconsistent with the behavior of `devlink_nl_rate_parent_node_set`,
where the parent pointer is correctly cleared.
This patch fixes the issue by explicitly setting `devlink_rate->parent`
to NULL after notifying the driver, thus fulfilling the function's
documented behavior for all rate objects.

| A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on `struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq` global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or potential code execution. |
| A flaw was found in grub2. When failing to mount an HFS+ grub, the hfsplus filesystem driver doesn't properly set an ERRNO value. This issue may lead to a NULL pointer access. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: prime: fix refcount underflow
Calling nouveau_bo_ref() on a nouveau_bo without initializing it (and
hence the backing ttm_bo) leads to a refcount underflow.
Instead of calling nouveau_bo_ref() in the unwind path of
drm_gem_object_init(), clean things up manually.
