| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ufs: create the root dentry after loading cylinder metadata
ufs_fill_super() installed sb->s_root before it loaded the cylinder
group structures for a writable mount:
sb->s_root = d_make_root(inode);
...
if (!sb_rdonly(sb))
if (!ufs_read_cylinder_structures(sb))
goto failed;
When ufs_read_cylinder_structures() failed, the error path freed the
in-core superblock information and set sb->s_fs_info to NULL while
sb->s_root stayed installed. get_tree_bdev() then reached
deactivate_locked_super(), and because s_root was present,
generic_shutdown_super() called sync_filesystem() and the put_super
operation. Both dereference UFS_SB(sb), which is now NULL, so a mount
that fails only while reading the cylinder groups oopses during
teardown. A crafted image whose first cylinder group cannot be read
reaches this path.
Load the cylinder group metadata first and create the root dentry last,
so the superblock is published to the VFS only once it is fully set up.
ufs_setup_cstotal() and ufs_read_cylinder_structures() take only the
super_block and do not use the root inode, so the reordering is safe. |

Bluetooth: hci_sysfs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in device_del()
A NULL pointer dereference in klist_put() occurs when a child device (such
as a BNEP network device in bnep_session) is concurrently being
unregistered while hci_conn_del_sysfs() reparents child devices.
This is caused by a race condition between hci_conn_del_sysfs() and
concurrent child device unregistration (e.g. bnep_session calling
unregister_netdev()). During device unregistration, device_del() snapshots
a non-NULL parent pointer. Concurrently, hci_conn_del_sysfs() finds the
child device using device_find_any_child() and calls device_move() to
reparent it to NULL, which removes the node from its parent's klist and
clears knode_parent. Subsequently, device_del() calls
klist_del(&dev->p->knode_parent) using the stale parent snapshot, causing
klist_put() to dereference knode_klist(n)->put on an already removed node,
resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.
This race was introduced by commit 27aabf27fd01 ("Bluetooth: fix
use-after-free in device_for_each_child()"), which replaced
device_find_child(..., __match_tty) with device_find_any_child() in
hci_conn_del_sysfs(). That change was intended to avoid a use-after-free
where conn->dev outlived its parent hdev->dev when child devices held
references to conn->dev, because conn->dev only held a reference to
hdev->dev while registered in sysfs.
Fix the issue properly by taking an explicit reference to the parent device
with get_device(&hdev->dev) in hci_conn_init_sysfs() and dropping it with
put_device(parent) in bt_link_release() when the conn device is freed. This
ensures that hdev->dev remains valid for the entire lifecycle of conn->dev,
resolving the underlying use-after-free. With the parent reference held
properly, restore the __match_tty filter in hci_conn_del_sysfs() so that
device_move() is only invoked on persistent RFCOMM TTY devices as
originally intended, eliminating the race condition with unregistering
network devices. |

ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix NULL dereference in lowpan_newlink
TUNSETLINK allows a TUN device to change its link-layer type to
ARPHRD_IEEE802154 without initializing ieee802154_ptr. lowpan_newlink()
checks only the device type before dereferencing the pointer, so an
RTM_NEWLINK request can trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Reject devices without ieee802154_ptr along with devices of the wrong type. |

iommu/s390: Fix NULL dereference in iova_to_phys() with ZPCI_TABLE_TYPE_RFX
When using a 5-level translation table via ZPCI_TABLE_TYPE_RFX
get_rso_from_iova() returns NULL when the region-first entry is invalid.
Yet in get_rto_from_iova() the region-second origin rso is not checked
to be non-NULL before accessing rso[rsx] leading to a NULL pointer
dereference instead of a NULL return when iova_to_phys() is called on
a unmapped IOVA. Fix this by adding the missing NULL check. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: ump: do not touch legacy_rmidi before it exists
snd_ump_parse_endpoint() sets ump->parsed on every exit, including
error, before the caller attaches the legacy rawmidi device.
ump_handle_ep_name_msg() then treats parsed as "legacy_rmidi is live"
and calls ump_legacy_set_rawmidi_name(), which snprintf()s into
ump->legacy_rmidi->name. If a UMP packet arrives in that window
(IRQ path from snd_ump_receive), legacy_rmidi is still NULL
(KASAN null-ptr-deref in snprintf).
Guard the legacy helpers. parsed only means endpoint info was
parsed, not that legacy_rmidi exists. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix NULL deref in tipc_named_node_up() on empty publication list
User-space applications can bind a large number of service addresses to
one or more sockets. Each binding of a local-scope service address inserts
one entry (publication) into the TIPC name table. If the number of these
publications exceeds TIPC_MAX_PUBL (65535), protocol service types
(such as node state and link state) are no longer inserted into the name
table. This causes two issues:
1. User-space applications subscribing to node or link up/down events
stop receiving notifications.
2. A NULL pointer dereference can occur:

If 'tipc_nametbl_publish()' (Thread 1) fails because the number of
local publications reaches TIPC_MAX_PUBL, list (Thread 2) will be empty. As a
result, NULL is passed to 'buf_msg()', leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix these issues by allowing protocol service types (node state, link state,
and topology server) to be inserted into the name table unconditionally.
This ensures that users subscribing to these types always receive
notifications. In addition, the maximum number of local user publications is
reduced to (TIPC_MAX_PUBL - 1). This ensures that the maximum bulk size
calculated in tipc_link_set_queue_limits() remains valid. |

Bluetooth: hci_qca: fix NULL pointer dereference in qca_setup() for non-serdev device
hu->serdev is NULL for hci_uart attached via non-serdev paths, but
qca_setup() unconditionally calls serdev_device_get_drvdata(hu->serdev)
and dereferences the result, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix by guarding the dereference with a NULL check, consistent with the
rest of qca_setup(). |

scsi: mpi3mr: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mpi3mr_sas_port_add()
sas_port_alloc_num() can return NULL on memory allocation failure. The
return value is passed directly to sas_port_add() without a NULL check,
which causes a NULL pointer dereference.
Additionally, if sas_port_add() fails, the allocated port is not freed
before jumping to out_fail, leaking the sas_port structure. Call
sas_port_free() to properly release it. |

bpf: check_cond_jmp_op(): properly infer if register is null
Nicholas Carlini reported a bug when verifier can incorrectly infer
that a pointer is non-null. The bug occurs when two pointers are
compared and one of them has a type w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag,
but which allows a value to be NULL at runtime.
Here is an example:
// `a` is PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED
// `a` is 0 at runtime.
// `b` is PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE | PTR_MAYBE_NULL
void *a = bpf_rdonly_cast(0, 0);
int *b = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...);
if (a == b)
*b = 42; // verifier does not catch null pointer dereference
This happens because of a special case in check_cond_jmp_op(),
which attempts to strip PTR_MAYBE_NULL flags from pointer types,
when processing comparisons like `rA == rB`, if either rA or rB can't
be null.
The non-null property is derived based on the absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag on rA's or rB's type. But that is not sufficient
for types like PTR_TO_MEM, as in the example.
This patch replaces type_may_be_null() call with reg_not_null(),
which contains an allowlist of types for which absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL actually means that the value can't be NULL at runtime.
At the moment, the list in the reg_not_null() omits two types for
which PTR_MAYBE_NULL is applicable: PTR_TO_XDP_SOCK and PTR_TO_BUF.
In order to remain backward compatible, and assuming that only
comparison between pointers of the same type makes sense,
this commit extends reg_not_null(). W/o such an extension e.g.
verifier_jeq_infer_not_null/null_ptr_to_map_value fails.
reg_not_null() can be extended further, but I deem that out of scope
for the fix at hand. Explicit base_type(...) != PTR_TO_BTF_ID
checks in the check_cond_jmp_op() can be removed with migration to
reg_not_null(), but that is a behavioural change, as the special case
would start matching for PTR_TO_BTF_ID that is also is_trusted_reg().
I omit the behavioural change from this commit. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ns_custom_package()
acpi_ns_custom_package() unconditionally dereferences the first element
of the package to read the _BIX version number, without checking for
NULL:
if ((*Elements)->Common.Type != ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER)
When firmware returns a _BIX package whose first element is an
unresolvable reference, ACPICA evaluates that entry to NULL.
acpi_ns_remove_null_elements() does not strip NULL entries for
ACPI_PTYPE_CUSTOM packages (fixed-position format would break if
elements were shifted), so acpi_ns_custom_package() sees the NULL
and causes a crash.
Add a NULL check for the first element (version field) before
dereferencing it. The caller then receives AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE
instead of crashing. |

[CAUSE]
system.ntfs_attrib updates ATTR_DATA flags via ni_new_attr_flags()
and switches i_mapping->a_ops to ntfs_aops_cmpr when
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED is set. system.dos_attrib then overwrites
ni->std_fa from a one-byte DOS attribute value, clearing the compression
bit without updating ATTR_DATA or the mapping operations.
Old buffered writes use is_compressed(ni) to choose
__generic_file_write_iter(). That leaves generic_perform_write() calling
a NULL write_begin callback from ntfs_aops_cmpr.
[FIX]
Treat system.dos_attrib as a low-byte DOS attribute update and preserve the
existing non-DOS attribute bits in ni->std_fa. This keeps compressed and
sparse state consistent with ATTR_DATA and the mapping operations while
keeping the existing DOS attribute semantics intact. |

drm/amd/display: Avoid DPMS-on for phantom stream
[Why & How]
Calling dc_update_planes_and_stream separately for stream and its
phantom stream causes a NULL pointer dereference, since the phantom is
destroyed on the first call.
Skip the call for phantom streams. |

ALSA: es18xx: check control allocation before private data setup
snd_es18xx_mixer() creates controls with snd_ctl_new1() and then stores
bookkeeping pointers or sets private_free before calling snd_ctl_add().
snd_ctl_new1() can return NULL on allocation failure, so those writes
can dereference a NULL control pointer.
Check the returned control pointers before using them and return -ENOMEM
on allocation failure. |

btrfs: balance: fix potential bg lookup failure in btrfs_may_alloc_data_chunk()
[BUG]
Running btrfs balance can trigger a null-ptr-deref before relocating a
data chunk when metadata corruption leaves a chunk in the chunk tree
without a corresponding block group in the in-memory cache:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000088-0x000000000000008f]

btrfs_ioctl+0x25cf/0x5b90 fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:5313
...
[CAUSE]
__btrfs_balance() iterates the on-disk chunk tree and passes the chunk
logical bytenr to btrfs_may_alloc_data_chunk() before relocating a data
chunk. That helper then queries the in-memory block group cache:
cache = btrfs_lookup_block_group(fs_info, chunk_offset);
chunk_type = cache->flags; /* cache may be NULL */
A corrupt image can contain a chunk item whose matching block group
item is missing, so no block group is ever inserted into the cache. In
that case btrfs_lookup_block_group() returns NULL.
The code only guards this with ASSERT(cache), which becomes a no-op when
CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT is disabled. The subsequent dereference of
cache->flags therefore crashes the kernel.
[FIX]
Add a NULL check after btrfs_lookup_block_group() in
btrfs_may_alloc_data_chunk() and print and error message for clarity. |

mt8365_afe_suspend() allocates the register backup buffer with

mt8365_afe_dev_runtime_suspend() so that the suspended state is not updated
when suspend fails. |

mm/hugetlb: fix boot panic with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and HVO bootmem pages
Patch series "mm: Refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation", v4.
This series is split out from the earlier larger series "mm: Generalize
HVO for HugeTLB and device DAX" [1]. It collects the first 19 patches of
that series as a standalone set of fixes and preparatory cleanups around
bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and related
vmemmap setup.
The first patches fix a few bugs found while reviewing the existing code,
including incorrect bootmem HVO handling, wrong vmemmap registration
arguments, a powerpc compound-vmemmap tracking bug, and too-late
initialization of gigantic bootmem HugeTLB struct pages.
The rest of the series reorders early memory initialization so the
relevant zone state is available before sparse and HugeTLB boot-time setup
runs, then simplifies the remaining bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation
path and removes code made obsolete by that rework.
At a high level:
- patches [1-4] fix boot-time and arch-specific bugs
- patches [5-12] reorder and simplify sparse/mm/hugetlb early init
- patches [13-19] refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation and
remove obsolete helpers and state
This patch (of 19):
Commit 622026e87c40 ("mm/hugetlb: remove fake head pages") switched
HVO to reuse per-zone shared tail pages from zone->vmemmap_tails[].
Those shared tail pages were initialized in hugetlb_vmemmap_init(), but
bootmem HugeTLB folios are prepared earlier from
gather_bootmem_prealloc(). With hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on,
prep_and_add_bootmem_folios() can access pageblock flags on bootmem
HugeTLB pages whose mirrored tail struct pages already point to the shared
tail page. On CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels, get_pfnblock_bitmap_bitidx() then
dereferences the still-uninitialized shared tail page and can panic during
boot.
Initialize zone->vmemmap_tails[] from gather_bootmem_prealloc(), before
bootmem HugeTLB folios are processed, and drop the later initialization
from hugetlb_vmemmap_init().
This bug only affects CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels, where the relevant
assertion is evaluated. |

media: meson: vdec: fix NULL pointer deref in vdec_try_fmt_common
When VIDIOC_TRY_FMT is called with an unsupported pixel format on the
OUTPUT queue, vdec_try_fmt_common() falls back to V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2.
However, if a distro has locally patched MPEG2 support out (as it has
been broken for some time) the platform format table does not contain
MPEG2 so find_format() returns NULL and the subsequent dereference of
fmt_out->max_width triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by falling back to the first format in the platform's format
array instead of hardcoding V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2. This is always valid
since every platform defines at least one format. |
