KVM: s390: pci: Fix memory accounting for pinned/unpinned pages
The account_mem() and unaccount_mem() functions call get_uid() which
increments the reference count of struct user_struct on every invocation.
But we don't decrement the count by calling free_uid(). It also
accounted/unaccounted the pages against the current->mm. But its possible
the unaccount_mem() can be called from a different process context than the
one that originally pinned the pages.
Let's fix this by storing the pinning process user_struct and mm_struct
when accounting for pinned pages, and subsequently free these resources
when the pages are unpinned.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_misc: use exe_file_deny_write_access() for the interpreter clone
For MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE entries load_misc_binary() clones the
registered interpreter file and denies write access to the clone via
plain deny_write_access(). The clone is installed as
bprm->interpreter and later released by the exec machinery through
exe_file_allow_write_access() which skips the i_writecount increment
for files with FMODE_FSNOTIFY_HSM set.
The deny and allow side can therefore come to different conclusions
when pre-content watches are in play: if a pre-content watch is added
to the interpreter after registration every subsequent exec through
that entry takes a write denial on the clone that is never paired
with a write allowance, driving the interpreter inode's i_writecount
further down with each exec and leaving the interpreter unwritable
even after the entry and all its users are gone.
Take the write denial via exe_file_deny_write_access() so both sides
of the pairing base their decision on the same file mode, and
propagate failure instead of silently ignoring it: an interpreter
that is concurrently open for writing now fails the exec with
ETXTBSY, exactly like an interpreter freshly opened via open_exec()
would. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_misc: don't leak the user namespace when the mount fails
bm_get_tree() takes a reference to the user namespace and hands it to
get_tree_keyed() as the sget key. sget_fc() moves that reference into
sb->s_fs_info and clears fc->s_fs_info, so from that point on the
superblock owns it and bm_free() doesn't see it anymore.
The superblock drops it in ->put_super(). But generic_shutdown_super()
only calls ->put_super() from inside the if (sb->s_root) branch, so
nothing releases it when bm_fill_super() fails:
- The kzalloc_obj() failure leaves s_root NULL and the whole branch is
skipped.
- A simple_fill_super() failure in the file loop leaves s_root set, but
s_op still points at simple_super_operations, which has no
->put_super(). bm_fill_super() installs s_ops only once
simple_fill_super() returned success, and installing it earlier
wouldn't help either because simple_fill_super() overwrites s_op.
Either way vfs_get_super() calls deactivate_locked_super() and the
reference is gone for good. binfmt_misc mounts are available in a user
namespace and both the inode and the dentry cache are SLAB_ACCOUNT, so
an unprivileged caller under a tight memory cgroup can fail
simple_fill_super() on demand and leak one user namespace per attempt.
Drop the reference in ->kill_sb() instead, which runs unconditionally,
the same way nfsd and rpc_pipefs release their keyed s_fs_info.
That also stops ->put_super() from clearing s_fs_info while the
superblock is still on @fs_supers. generic_shutdown_super() leaves it
there on purpose so that sget_fc() keeps finding it until kill_sb() has
run, but a NULL s_fs_info makes test_keyed_super() miss it, so a
concurrent mount for the same user namespace skips the grab_super()
wait and creates a second superblock for a namespace that is still
being torn down. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
When mlxsw_sp_port_lag_index_get() fails, mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
returns an error without releasing the lag reference obtained by
the earlier mlxsw_sp_lag_get(). All other error paths in the
function jump to the cleanup label that ends with
mlxsw_sp_lag_put(), so this is a single missed release.
Fix the leak by replacing the bare 'return err' with a goto to the
existing error cleanup label, which will drop the reference safely. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: mt8192: Check runtime resume during probe
The MT8192 AFE probe enables runtime PM temporarily while reinitializing
the regmap cache from hardware, but it uses pm_runtime_get_sync()
without checking the return value. If runtime resume fails, probe keeps
going without the device necessarily being accessible, and
pm_runtime_get_sync() may leave the PM usage count incremented.
The regmap_reinit_cache() failure path also returns before dropping the
temporary PM reference and before clearing pm_runtime_bypass_reg_ctl.
Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() so resume failures do not leak a usage
count, and clear the temporary bypass flag after dropping the probe PM
reference on all regmap_reinit_cache() outcomes. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: fix refcount leak in i_ipmi_request()
When a caller provides a `supplied_recv` message to i_ipmi_request(),
the function increments the user's `nr_msgs` reference count. If an
error occurs later, the out_err cleanup path only frees the recv_msg
if the function allocated it itself (i.e., !supplied_recv). In the
supplied_recv case the cleanup is skipped, leaving the reference count
elevated. The caller ipmi_request_supply_msgs() does not release the
supplied_recv on error, so the reference is permanently leaked.
Fix this by explicitly reverting the reference count operations when a
supplied recv_msg with a valid user pointer is present in the error
path: decrement nr_msgs and drop the user's kref. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: musb: omap2430: Do not put borrowed of_node in probe
omap2430_probe() stores pdev->dev.of_node in a local np variable. This is
a borrowed pointer and the probe function does not take a reference to
it.
The success and error paths nevertheless call of_node_put(np). This drops
a reference that is owned by the platform device, and can leave
pdev->dev.of_node with an unbalanced reference count.
Do not put the borrowed platform device node from omap2430_probe().
References taken for the child MUSB device are handled by the device core,
and the ctrl-module phandle reference is still released separately. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-fwnode: Fix subdev owner overwritten in v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor()
The v4l2 helper v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() calls
v4l2_async_register_subdev(), which is a macro that expands to
__v4l2_async_register_subdev(sd,THIS_MODULE). Since the macro is expanded
inside v4l2-fwnode.c, THIS_MODULE resolves to the v4l2-fwnode module
rather than the sensor driver module that originally set sd->owner. When
v4l2-fwnode is built-in, THIS_MODULE evaluates to NULL, which then
overwrites the sensor driver's owner with NULL.
This causes the problem that the sensor module's reference count is never
incremented during async registration, so the module can be removed while
the subdevice is still in use by a notifier (e.g., a CSI-2 receiver
bridge driver).
Fix this by renaming v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() to
__v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() with an added explicit module
argument and introducing a wrapper macro:
#define v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor(sd) \
__v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor(sd, THIS_MODULE)
This ensures the sensor driver module is properly referenced even when
the sensor driver does not init the owner field before calling
v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() and prevents premature module removal. |

smb: client: fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO
Commit c68337442f03 ("cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting") fixed
the issue in cifs where deferred close of a file led to a dentry reference
count not being released in umount, by flushing deferredclose_wq in
cifs_kill_sb() to solve it.
However, the cifs DIO path suffers from the same busy-dentry problem caused
by a delayed dentry reference-count release:

If the umount path is triggered before [5], it results warning:
BUG: Dentry 00000000eab1f070{i=9a917b66ae404fec,n=test} still in use (1)
[unmount of cifs cifs]
The existing per-inode ictx->io_count wait in cifs_evict_inode() does not
help: it lives in the inode eviction path, which runs after
shrink_dcache_for_umount() has already warned about the busy dentries.
Fix it by adding a per-superblock outstanding-rreq counter that is
incremented in cifs_init_request() and decremented in cifs_free_request().
In cifs_kill_sb(), before kill_anon_super(), wait for this counter to reach
0 - which guarantees that all cleanup_work for this sb have run and thus
all relevant cfile puts are queued on fileinfo_put_wq or serverclose_wq.
Then drain the workqueue so the dentry refs are dropped.
This is a targeted wait, not a flush of the system-wide system_dfl_wq. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: igmp: Fix potential memory leaks in igmp_mod_timer() and igmp_stop_timer()
When a timer is deleted and not re-armed in igmp_mod_timer(), or stopped
in igmp_stop_timer(), the code currently decrements the reference counter
of the multicast list entry @im using refcount_dec(&im->refcnt).
However, both functions can be called from the RCU reader path:
- igmp_mod_timer() via igmp_heard_query() -> for_each_pmc_rcu()
- igmp_stop_timer() via igmp_rcv() -> igmp_heard_report()
If the group im was concurrently removed from the list by ip_mc_dec_group(),
its reference count might have already been decremented to 1.
In this case, timer_delete() succeeds, and refcount_dec() decrements
the refcount from 1 to 0. Since refcount_dec() does not free the object
when it hits 0 (unlike ip_ma_put()), the im structure is leaked.
Fix this by using ip_ma_put(im) instead of refcount_dec(&im->refcnt),
and deferring the put until after the spinlock is released. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: Fix potential UAF in MLD delayed work
A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query
processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work.
During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped,
which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory
is deferred via RCU.
Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains
the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can
safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.
However, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled.
When the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.
Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work. |

s390/mm: Fix handling of _PAGE_UNUSED pte bit
The _PAGE_UNUSED softbit should not really be lying around. Its sole
purpose is to signal to try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one()
that the page can be discarded instead of being moved / swapped.
KVM has no way to know why a page is being unmapped, so it sets the bit
on userspace ptes corresponding to unused guest pages every time they
get unmapped. KVM has no reasonable way to clear the bit once the page
is in use again.
While set_ptes() checks and clears the bit, other paths that set new
ptes did not. This led to used pages being thrown out as if they were
unused, causing guest corruption.
Fix the issue by clearing the _PAGE_UNUSED bit for present ptes in
set_pte(), i.e. whenever a present pte is getting set. The check in
set_ptes() is then redundant and can be removed.
Also fix gmap_helper_try_set_pte_unused() to only set the bit if the
pte is present; the _PAGE_UNUSED bit is only defined for present ptes
and thus should not be set for non-present ptes. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix writes_pending leak on write request failures
raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with
md_write_start() before dispatching write requests. Several failure
paths in raid10_write_request() complete the bio and return without
reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding
md_write_end() to be skipped.
Make raid10_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write
request was successfully queued. This allows raid10_make_request() to
release the writes_pending reference with md_write_end() when a write
request fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1: fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on write failures
raid1_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with
md_write_start() before calling raid1_write_request(). Several failure
paths in raid1_write_request() complete the bio and return without
reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding
md_write_end() to be skipped.
Make raid1_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write
request was successfully queued. This allows raid1_make_request() to
call md_write_end() when raid1_write_request() fails.
Additionally, if wait_blocked_rdev() fails after wait_barrier()
succeeds, the associated barrier reference is not released.
Call allow_barrier() before returning from that path to keep the barrier
accounting balanced. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: release exe file resources on path failure
get_current_exe_path() takes both an exe_file reference and a path
reference before resolving the path name. If aa_path_name() failed, it
returned immediately and leaked both references.
Route the failure through the common cleanup path so fput() and path_put()
always run after the references are acquired. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix refcount leak when updating the sk_ctx
Currently update_sk_ctx() transfers the plabel reference, unfortunately
it is also unconditionally put in the caller. Ideally we would make
the caller conditionally put the reference based on whether it was
transferred but for now just fix the bug by getting a reference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xprtrdma: Fix ep kref imbalance on ADDR_CHANGE
rpcrdma_cm_event_handler() falls through to the disconnected: label
on RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE and calls rpcrdma_ep_put() with no
matching get when the event arrives before RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED.
The kref then underflows during connect teardown and
rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() operates on a freed ep.
Reference counts across a normal connection lifecycle:
rpcrdma_ep_create() kref_init ->1
rpcrdma_xprt_connect() ep_get ->2 (before post_recvs)
RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED ep_get ->3
RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED ep_put ->2
rpcrdma_xprt_drain() ep_put ->1
rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() tail ep_put ->0 (ep_destroy)
The connect-time get in rpcrdma_xprt_connect(), taken just before
rpcrdma_post_recvs() "while there are outstanding Receives," is
balanced by rpcrdma_xprt_drain. ADDR_CHANGE before ESTABLISHED has
no get to consume, so its put drops the count to 1 and the drain
put then frees the ep while rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() still holds a
pointer to it.
Fix by dispatching on the prior re_connect_status via xchg(): for
prev == 0 (pre-ESTABLISHED) wake the connect waiter and return with
no put; for prev == 1 call rpcrdma_force_disconnect() and return.
The case-1 arm relies on the subsequent RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED
event -- reliably delivered when rdma_disconnect() is called on a
still-connected cm_id -- to balance the ESTABLISHED get;
rpcrdma_xprt_drain() continues to balance only that connect-time
get. Any other prior value means teardown is already in flight. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xprtrdma: Decouple req recycling from RPC completion
rl_kref formerly served two distinct lifetimes through a single
refcount: it gated when a Reply could wake its RPC task, and it
gated when an rpcrdma_req could return to its free pool. The
marshal path took the Send-side reference only when SGEs needed
DMA-unmap (sc_unmap_count > 0), which made a Send carrying only
pre-registered buffers an exception: the Reply handler dropped
rl_kref from 1 to 0 and freed the req while the HCA might still
be DMA-reading from its send buffer.
Give rl_kref a narrower job. The RPC layer takes one reference
when slot allocation hands a req out. rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges()
takes a Send-side reference unconditionally after WR preparation
succeeds. xprt_rdma_free_slot() and xprt_rdma_bc_free_rqst() drop
the RPC-layer reference; rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() drops the
Send-side reference. The req returns to its free pool only after
both owners have signed off.
The existing kref_init(&req->rl_kref) call in
rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() is removed. Initialization moves to
the slot-allocation paths (xprt_rdma_alloc_slot and
rpcrdma_bc_rqst_get), and the release callback re-arms rl_kref
before the req returns to a free pool. A re-init in the marshal
path would discard the RPC-layer reference that already exists
on entry.
Three invariants follow:
- Any rpcrdma_req held by an rpc_rqst has rl_kref >= 1.
xprt_rdma_alloc_slot(), rpcrdma_bc_rqst_get(), and the
backlog-wake branch in xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() each kref_init
rl_kref before publishing the req. Without this invariant,
an RPC task that aborts between slot allocation and marshal
(gss_refresh failure or signal during call_connect, for
example) would drive xprt_release() ->
xprt_rdma_free_slot() -> kref_put against a refcount of
zero, saturating refcount_t and stranding the slot.
- The Send-side reference is taken only after WR prep
succeeds. A mapping failure in rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges()
runs rpcrdma_sendctx_cancel(), which DMA-unmaps the sendctx
and clears sc_req without touching rl_kref. The sendctx
ring walks in rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked() and
rpcrdma_sendctxs_destroy() skip entries with sc_req == NULL,
so a burst of -EIO marshal failures cannot hold reqs off
rb_send_bufs.
- The release callback re-arms rl_kref so the next consumer
enters with the invariant satisfied.
Replies now complete the RPC directly. rpcrdma_reply_handler()
calls rpcrdma_complete_rqst() in place of kref_put on the
non-LocalInv branch. The LocalInv branch already completes the
RPC from frwr_unmap_async() and is unaffected.
Because Send-side references can now outlive RPC completion,
connection teardown drains sendctx entries whose unsignaled
Sends never had a later signaled completion to walk the ring.
rpcrdma_sendctxs_destroy() walks the active range and runs
rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() on each entry with a non-NULL sc_req
before the request buffers are reset, and is moved ahead of
rpcrdma_reqs_reset() in rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() so the reqs
are still in their pre-reset state when the Send-side refs are
released.
The drain creates a teardown-ordering hazard on the backchannel
path. With the new lifetime, releasing a bc_prealloc req from
rpcrdma_req_release() re-adds it to bc_pa_list. The disconnect
in xprt_rdma_destroy() runs after xprt_destroy_backchannel() has
already emptied bc_pa_list, so the drained reqs would otherwise
leak. xprt_rdma_destroy() now runs xprt_rdma_bc_destroy(xprt, 0)
a second time after the disconnect to reclaim them. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpib: fix double decrement of descriptor_busy in command_ioctl()
commit d1857f8296dc ("gpib: fix use-after-free in IO ioctl handlers")
introduced a descriptor_busy reference counter to pin struct
gpib_descriptor across IO ioctl operations. In command_ioctl(), the
error path inside the loop decrements descriptor_busy and breaks, but
execution then falls through to the unconditional decrement after the
loop, underflowing the counter to -1.
This re-enables the use-after-free that the original fix was meant to
prevent: a concurrent close_dev_ioctl() sees descriptor_busy == 0 on
an actively-used descriptor and frees it.
Remove the early decrement from the error path. The post-loop
decrement already handles all exit paths, matching the correct pattern
used in read_ioctl() and write_ioctl(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: avoid stale FIFO cells during resize
snd_seq_fifo_resize() still needs to publish the replacement pool
before it waits for FIFO users. A blocking snd_seq_read() holds
f->use_lock while it sleeps, so concurrent senders must be able to
queue to the new pool and wake that reader instead of failing against a
closing old pool.
However, snd_seq_fifo_event_in() duplicates an event before it takes
f->lock, and snd_seq_read() can dequeue a cell and later call
snd_seq_fifo_cell_putback() if copy_to_user() or
snd_seq_expand_var_event() fails. If resize swaps f->pool and detaches
oldhead in between, either path can relink an old-pool cell after the
snapshot. That stale cell sits outside the drained oldhead list, keeps
oldpool->counter elevated, and can leave snd_seq_pool_delete() waiting
for the retired pool to drain.
Keep the existing swap-before-wait ordering in snd_seq_fifo_resize(),
but reject stale cells before any FIFO relink. Revalidate event-in cells
under f->lock and retry them against the published replacement pool, and
free stale putback cells instead of linking them back into the FIFO.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
resize path: relink path:
1. Allocate newpool. 1. Take f->use_lock.
2. Swap f->pool to newpool and 2. Duplicate or dequeue an old-pool
detach oldhead. cell before oldpool closes.
3. Mark oldpool closing and 3. Reach a later relink point after
wait for FIFO users. resize published newpool.
4. Free oldhead and delete 4. Relink the old-pool cell after
oldpool. resize detached oldhead.
5. Drop f->use_lock.
