| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: update file PMD counter before folio_put()
__split_huge_pmd_locked() updates the file/shmem RSS counter after
dropping the PMD mapping's folio reference. If folio_put() drops the last
reference, mm_counter_file() can later read freed folio state via
folio_test_swapbacked().
Move the counter update before folio_put(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
zram: fix use-after-free in zram_bvec_write_partial()
zram_read_page() picks the sync or async backing device read path based on
whether the parent bio is NULL. zram_bvec_write_partial() passes its
parent bio down, so for ZRAM_WB slots the read is dispatched
asynchronously and zram_read_page() returns 0 while the bio is still in
flight. The caller then runs memcpy_from_bvec(), zram_write_page() and
__free_page() on the buffer, leaving the async read to write into a freed
page.
zram_bvec_read_partial() was switched to NULL in commit 4e3c87b9421d
("zram: fix synchronous reads") for the same reason; the write_partial
counterpart was missed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: use round-robin victim selection in refill_stock
Harry Yoo reported that get_random_u32_below() is not safe to call in the
nmi context and memcg charge draining can happen in nmi context.
More specifically get_random_u32_below() is neither reentrant- nor
NMI-safe: it acquires a per-cpu local_lock via local_lock_irqsave() on the
batched_entropy_u32 state. An NMI that lands on a CPU mid-update of the
ChaCha batch state and recurses into the random subsystem would corrupt
that state. The memcg_stock local_trylock prevents re-entry on the percpu
stock itself, but cannot protect an unrelated subsystem's per-cpu lock.
Replace the random pick with a per-cpu round-robin counter stored in
memcg_stock_pcp and serialized by the same local_trylock that already
guards cached[] and nr_pages[]. No atomics, no random calls, no extra
locks needed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: fix use-after-free race in fastrpc_map_create
fastrpc_map_lookup returns a raw pointer after releasing fl->lock. The
caller fastrpc_map_create then calls fastrpc_map_get (kref_get_unless_zero)
on this unprotected pointer. A concurrent MEM_UNMAP can free the map
between the lock release and the kref operation, resulting in a
use-after-free on the freed slab object.
Restore the take_ref parameter to fastrpc_map_lookup so the reference
is acquired atomically under fl->lock before the pointer is exposed to
the caller. |

drm/gem: Try to fix change_handle ioctl, attempt 4
[airlied: just added some comments on how to reenable]
On-list because the cat is out of the bag and we're clearly not good
enough to figure this out in private. The story thus far:
5e28b7b94408 ("drm: Set old handle to NULL before prime swap in
change_handle") tried to fix a race condition between the gem_close and
gem_change_handle ioctls, but got a few things wrong:
- There's a confusion with the local variable handle, which is actually
the new handle, and so the two-stage trick was actually applied to the
wrong idr slot. 7164d78559b0 ("drm/gem: fix race between
change_handle and handle_delete") tried to fix that by adding yet
another code block, but forgot to add the error handling. Which meant
we now have two paths, both kinda wrong.
- dc366607c41c ("drm: Replace old pointer to new idr") tried to apply
another fix, but inconsistently, again because of the handle confusion
- this would be the right fix (kinda, somewhat, it's a mess) if we'd
do the two-stage approach for the new handle. Except that wasn't the
intent of the original fix.
We also didn't have an igt merged for the original ioctl, which is a big
no-go. This was attempted to address off-list in the original bugfix,
and amd QA people claimed the bug was fixed now. Very clearly that's not
the case. Here's my attempt to sort this out:
- Rename the local variable to new_handle, the old aliasing with
args->handle is just too dangerously confusing.
- Merge the gem obj lookup with the two-stage idr_replace so that we
avoid getting ourselves confused there.
- This means we don't have a surplus temporary reference anymore, only
an inherited from the idr. A concurrent gem_close on the new_handle
could steal that. Fix that with the same two-stage approach
create_tail uses. This is a bit overkill as documented in the comment,
but I also don't trust my ability to understand this all correctly, so
go with the established pattern we have from other ioctls instead for
maximum paranoia.
- Adjust error paths. I've tried to make the error and success paths
common, because they are identical except for which handle is removed
and on which we call idr_replace to (re)install the object again. But
that made things messier to read, so I've left it at the more verbose
version, which unfortunately hides the symmetry in the entire code
flow a bit.
- While at it, also replace the 7 space indent with 1 tab.
And finally, because I flat out don't trust my abilities here at all
anymore:
- Disable the ioctl until we have the igt situation and everything else
sorted out on-list and with full consensus.
v2:
Sashiko noticed that I didn't handle the error path for idr_replace
correctly, it must be checked with IS_ERR_OR_NULL like in
gem_handle_delete. So yeah, definitely should just the existing paths
1:1 because this is endless amounts of tricky.
Also add the Fixes: line for the original ioctl, I forgot that too. |

net: bcmgenet: fix racing timeout handler
The bcmgenet_timeout handler tries to take down all tx queues when
a single queue times out. This is over zealous and causes many race
conditions with queues that are still chugging along. Instead lets
only restart the timed out queue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix locking in hci_conn_request_evt() with HCI_PROTO_DEFER
When protocol sets HCI_PROTO_DEFER, hci_conn_request_evt() calls
hci_connect_cfm(conn) without hdev->lock. Generally hci_connect_cfm()
assumes it is held, and if conn is deleted concurrently -> UAF.
Only SCO and ISO set HCI_PROTO_DEFER and only for defer setup listen,
and HCI_EV_CONN_REQUEST is not generated for ISO. In the non-deferred
listening socket code paths, hci_connect_cfm(conn) is called with
hdev->lock held.
Fix by holding the lock. |

quota: Fix race of dquot_scan_active() with quota deactivation
dquot_scan_active() can race with quota deactivation in
quota_release_workfn() like:
CPU0 (quota_release_workfn) CPU1 (dquot_scan_active)
============================== ==============================
spin_lock(&dq_list_lock);
list_replace_init(
&releasing_dquots, &rls_head);
/* dquot X on rls_head,
dq_count == 0,
DQ_ACTIVE_B still set */
spin_unlock(&dq_list_lock);
synchronize_srcu(&dquot_srcu);
spin_lock(&dq_list_lock);
list_for_each_entry(dquot,
&inuse_list, dq_inuse) {
/* finds dquot X */
dquot_active(X) -> true
atomic_inc(&X->dq_count);
}
spin_unlock(&dq_list_lock);
spin_lock(&dq_list_lock);
dquot = list_first_entry(&rls_head);
WARN_ON_ONCE(atomic_read(&dquot->dq_count));
The problem is not only a cosmetic one as under memory pressure the
caller of dquot_scan_active() can end up working on freed dquot.
Fix the problem by making sure the dquot is removed from releasing list
when we acquire a reference to it. |

net: usb: rtl8150: fix use-after-free in rtl8150_start_xmit()
syzbot reported a KASAN slab-use-after-free read in rtl8150_start_xmit()
when accessing skb->len for tx statistics after usb_submit_urb() has
been called:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rtl8150_start_xmit+0x71f/0x760
drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c:712
Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810eb7a930 by task kworker/0:4/5226
The URB completion handler write_bulk_callback() frees the skb via
dev_kfree_skb_irq(dev->tx_skb). The URB may complete on another CPU
in softirq context before usb_submit_urb() returns in the submitter,
so by the time the submitter reads skb->len the skb has already been
queued to the per-CPU completion_queue and freed by net_tx_action():
CPU A (xmit) CPU B (USB completion softirq)
------------ ------------------------------
dev->tx_skb = skb;
usb_submit_urb() --+
|-------> write_bulk_callback()
| dev_kfree_skb_irq(dev->tx_skb)
| net_tx_action()
| napi_skb_cache_put() <-- free
netdev->stats.tx_bytes |
+= skb->len; <-- UAF read
Fix it by caching skb->len before submitting the URB and using the
cached value when updating the tx_bytes counter.
The pre-existing tx_bytes semantics are preserved: the counter tracks
the original frame length (skb->len), not the ETH_ZLEN/USB-alignment
padded "count" value that is handed to the device. Changing that
would be a user-visible accounting change and is out of scope for
this UAF fix. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "wireguard: device: enable threaded NAPI"
This reverts commit 933466fc50a8e4eb167acbd0d8ec96a078462e9c which is
commit db9ae3b6b43c79b1ba87eea849fd65efa05b4b2e upstream.
We have had three independent production user reports in combination
with Cilium utilizing WireGuard as encryption underneath that k8s Pod
E/W traffic to certain peer nodes fully stalled. The situation appears
as follows:
- Occurs very rarely but at random times under heavy networking load.
- Once the issue triggers the decryption side stops working completely
for that WireGuard peer, other peers keep working fine. The stall
happens also for newly initiated connections towards that particular
WireGuard peer.
- Only the decryption side is affected, never the encryption side.
- Once it triggers, it never recovers and remains in this state,
the CPU/mem on that node looks normal, no leak, busy loop or crash.
- bpftrace on the affected system shows that wg_prev_queue_enqueue
fails, thus the MAX_QUEUED_PACKETS (1024 skbs!) for the peer's
rx_queue is reached.
- Also, bpftrace shows that wg_packet_rx_poll for that peer is never
called again after reaching this state for that peer. For other
peers wg_packet_rx_poll does get called normally.
- Commit db9ae3b ("wireguard: device: enable threaded NAPI")
switched WireGuard to threaded NAPI by default. The default has
not been changed for triggering the issue, neither did CPU
hotplugging occur (i.e. 5bd8de2 ("wireguard: queueing: always
return valid online CPU in wg_cpumask_choose_online()")).
- The issue has been observed with stable kernels of v5.15 as well as
v6.1. It was reported to us that v5.10 stable is working fine, and
no report on v6.6 stable either (somewhat related discussion in [0]
though).
- In the WireGuard driver the only material difference between v5.10
stable and v5.15 stable is the switch to threaded NAPI by default.

Breakdown of the problem:
1) skbs arriving for decryption are enqueued to the peer->rx_queue in
wg_packet_consume_data via wg_queue_enqueue_per_device_and_peer.
2) The latter only moves the skb into the MPSC peer queue if it does
not surpass MAX_QUEUED_PACKETS (1024) which is kept track in an
atomic counter via wg_prev_queue_enqueue.
3) In case enqueueing was successful, the skb is also queued up
in the device queue, round-robin picks a next online CPU, and
schedules the decryption worker.
4) The wg_packet_decrypt_worker, once scheduled, picks these up
from the queue, decrypts the packets and once done calls into
wg_queue_enqueue_per_peer_rx.
5) The latter updates the state to PACKET_STATE_CRYPTED on success
and calls napi_schedule on the per peer->napi instance.
6) NAPI then polls via wg_packet_rx_poll. wg_prev_queue_peek checks
on the peer->rx_queue. It will wg_prev_queue_dequeue if the
queue->peeked skb was not cached yet, or just return the latter
otherwise. (wg_prev_queue_drop_peeked later clears the cache.)
7) From an ordering perspective, the peer->rx_queue has skbs in order
while the device queue with the per-CPU worker threads from a
global ordering PoV can finish the decryption and signal the skb
PACKET_STATE_CRYPTED out of order.
8) A situation can be observed that the first packet coming in will
be stuck waiting for the decryption worker to be scheduled for
a longer time when the system is under pressure.
9) While this is the case, the other CPUs in the meantime finish
decryption and call into napi_schedule.
10) Now in wg_packet_rx_poll it picks up the first in-order skb
from the peer->rx_queue and sees that its state is still
PACKET_STATE_UNCRYPTED. The NAPI poll routine then exits e

| A flaw was found in libcap. A local unprivileged user can exploit a Time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the `cap_set_file()` function. This allows an attacker with write access to a parent directory to redirect file capability updates to an attacker-controlled file. By doing so, capabilities can be injected into or stripped from unintended executables, leading to privilege escalation. |

drm/amdgpu: fix AMDGPU_INFO_READ_MMR_REG
There were multiple issues in that code.
First of all the order between the reset semaphore and the mm_lock was
wrong (e.g. copy_to_user) was called while holding the lock.
Then we allocated memory while holding the reset semaphore which is also
a pretty big bug and can deadlock.
Then we used down_read_trylock() instead of waiting for the reset to
finish.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dpu: fix mismatch between power and frequency
During DPU runtime suspend, calling dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) drops
the MMCX rail to MIN_SVS while the core clock frequency remains at its
original (highest) rate. When runtime resume re-enables the clock, this
may result in a mismatch between the rail voltage and the clock rate.
For example, in the DPU bind path, the sequence could be:
cpu0: dev_sync_state -> rpmhpd_sync_state
cpu1: dpu_kms_hw_init
timeline 0 ------------------------------------------------> t
After rpmhpd_sync_state, the voltage performance is no longer guaranteed
to stay at the highest level. During dpu_kms_hw_init, calling
dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) drops the voltage, causing the MMCX rail to
fall to MIN_SVS while the core clock is still at its maximum frequency.
When the power is re-enabled, only the clock is enabled, leading to a
situation where the MMCX rail is at MIN_SVS but the core clock is at its
highest rate. In this state, the rail cannot sustain the clock rate,
which may cause instability or system crash.
Remove the call to dev_pm_opp_set_rate(dev, 0) from dpu_runtime_suspend
to ensure the correct vote is restored when DPU resumes.

net: psp: check for device unregister when creating assoc
psp_assoc_device_get_locked() obtains a psp_dev reference via
psp_dev_get_for_sock() (which uses psp_dev_tryget() under RCU);
it then acquires psd->lock and drops the reference. Before
the lock is taken, psp_dev_unregister() can run to completion:
take psd->lock, clear out state, unlock, drop the registration
reference.
The expectation is that the lock prevents device unregistration,
but much like with netdevs special care has to be taken when
"upgrading" a reference to a locked device. Add the missing
check if device is still alive. psp_dev_is_registered() exists
already but had no callers, which makes me wonder if I either
forgot to add this or lost the check during refactoring... |

PCI: tegra194: Fix CBB timeout caused by DBI access before core power-on
When PERST# is deasserted twice (assert -> deassert -> assert -> deassert),
a CBB (Control Backbone) timeout occurs at DBI register offset 0x8bc
(PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF). This happens because pci_epc_deinit_notify()
and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() are called before reset_control_deassert() powers
on the controller core.
The call chain that causes the timeout:
pex_ep_event_pex_rst_deassert()
pci_epc_deinit_notify()
pci_epf_test_epc_deinit()
pci_epf_test_clear_bar()
pci_epc_clear_bar()
dw_pcie_ep_clear_bar()
__dw_pcie_ep_reset_bar()
dw_pcie_dbi_ro_wr_en() <- Accesses 0x8bc DBI register
reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst) <- Core powered on HERE
The DBI registers, including PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF (0x8bc), are only
accessible after the controller core is powered on via
reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst). Accessing them before this point
results in a CBB timeout because the hardware is not yet operational.
Fix this by moving pci_epc_deinit_notify() and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() to
after reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst), ensuring the controller is
fully powered on before any DBI register accesses occur. |

powerpc/pgtable-frag: Fix bad page state in pte_frag_destroy
powerpc uses pt_frag_refcount as a reference counter for tracking it's
pte and pmd page table fragments. For PTE table, in case of Hash with
64K pagesize, we have 16 fragments of 4K size in one 64K page.
Patch series [1] "mm: free retracted page table by RCU"
added pte_free_defer() to defer the freeing of PTE tables when
retract_page_tables() is called for madvise MADV_COLLAPSE on shmem
range.
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
pte_free_defer() sets the active flag on the corresponding fragment's
folio & calls pte_fragment_free(), which reduces the pt_frag_refcount.
When pt_frag_refcount reaches 0 (no active fragment using the folio), it
checks if the folio active flag is set, if set, it calls call_rcu to
free the folio, it the active flag is unset then it calls pte_free_now().
Now, this can lead to following problem in a corner case...

The bad page state error occurs when such a folio gets freed (with
active flag set), from do_exit() path in parallel.
... this can happen when the pte fragment was allocated from this folio,
but when all the fragments get freed, the pte_frag_refcount still had some
unused fragments. Now, if this process exits, with such folio as it's cached
pte_frag in mm->context, then during pte_frag_destroy(), we simply call
pagetable_dtor() and pagetable_free(), meaning it doesn't clear the
active flag. This, can lead to the above bug. Since we are anyway in
do_exit() path, then if the refcount is 0, then I guess it should be
ok to simply clear the folio active flag before calling pagetable_dtor()
& pagetable_free(). |

ice: fix race condition in TX timestamp ring cleanup
Fix a race condition between ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() and ice_tx_map()
that can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring currently clears the ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME flag
after NULLing the tstamp_ring. This could allow a concurrent ice_tx_map
call on another CPU to dereference the tstamp_ring, which could lead to
a NULL pointer dereference.
CPU A:ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() | CPU B:ice_tx_map()
--------------------------------|---------------------------------
tx_ring->tstamp_ring = NULL |
| ice_is_txtime_cfg() -> true
| tstamp_ring = tx_ring->tstamp_ring
| tstamp_ring->count // NULL deref!
flags &= ~ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME |
Fix by:
1. Reordering ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() to clear the flag before
NULLing the pointer, with smp_wmb() to ensure proper ordering.
2. Adding smp_rmb() in ice_tx_map() after the flag check to order the
flag read before the pointer read, using READ_ONCE() for the
pointer, and adding a NULL check as a safety net.
3. Converting tx_ring->flags from u8 to DECLARE_BITMAP() and using
atomic bitops (set_bit(), clear_bit(), test_bit()) for all flag
operations throughout the driver:
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_XDP
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_VLAN_L2TAG1
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_VLAN_L2TAG2
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME |

idpf: fix double free and use-after-free in aux device error paths
When auxiliary_device_add() fails in idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev() or
idpf_plug_core_aux_dev(), the err_aux_dev_add label calls
auxiliary_device_uninit() and falls through to err_aux_dev_init. The
uninit call will trigger put_device(), which invokes the release
callback (idpf_vport_adev_release / idpf_core_adev_release) that frees
iadev. The fall-through then reads adev->id from the freed iadev for
ida_free() and double-frees iadev with kfree().
Free the IDA slot and clear the back-pointer before uninit, while adev
is still valid, then return immediately.
Commit 65637c3a1811 ("idpf: fix UAF in RDMA core aux dev deinitialization")
fixed the same use-after-free in the matching unplug path in this file but
missed both probe error paths. |

f2fs: fix data loss caused by incorrect use of nat_entry flag
Data loss can occur when fsync is performed on a newly created file
(before any checkpoint has been written) concurrently with a checkpoint
operation. The scenario is as follows:
create & write & fsync 'file A' write checkpoint
- f2fs_do_sync_file // inline inode
- f2fs_write_inode // inode folio is dirty
- f2fs_write_checkpoint
- f2fs_flush_merged_writes
- f2fs_sync_node_pages
- f2fs_flush_nat_entries
- f2fs_fsync_node_pages // no dirty node
- f2fs_need_inode_block_update // return false
SPO and lost 'file A'
f2fs_flush_nat_entries() sets the IS_CHECKPOINTED and HAS_LAST_FSYNC
flags for the nat_entry, but this does not mean that the checkpoint has
actually completed successfully. However, f2fs_need_inode_block_update()
checks these flags and incorrectly assumes that the checkpoint has
finished.
The root cause is that the semantics of IS_CHECKPOINTED and
HAS_LAST_FSYNC are only guaranteed after the checkpoint write fully
completes.
This patch modifies f2fs_need_inode_block_update() to acquire the
sbi->node_write lock before reading the nat_entry flags, ensuring that
once IS_CHECKPOINTED and HAS_LAST_FSYNC are observed to be set, the
checkpoint operation has already completed. |

powerpc/64s: Fix unmap race with PMD migration entries
The following race is possible with migration swap entries or
device-private THP entries. e.g. when move_pages is called on a PMD THP
page, then there maybe an intermediate state, where PMD entry acts as
a migration swap entry (pmd_present() is true). Then if an munmap
happens at the same time, then this VM_BUG_ON() can happen in
pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full().
This patch fixes that.

commit a30b48bf1b24 ("mm/migrate_device: implement THP migration of zone device pages"),
enabled migration for device-private PMD entries. Hence this is one
other path where this warning could get trigger from.
