PCI: rockchip: Protect root bus removal with rescan lock
Hold the pci_rescan_remove_lock lock while stopping and removing a root bus
to avoid racing with concurrent rescan or hotplug operations triggered via
sysfs. Such races may lead to use-after-free issues or system crashes.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: ab8500_fg: fix use-after-free on remove
ab8500_fg_remove() destroys the driver workqueue while the threaded
interrupt handlers are still armed; they are devm-managed and freed
only after ->remove() returns, so a handler that fires in that
window queues work on the freed workqueue.
Tear the workqueue down through devm instead, registering its cleanup
after the power supply and before the interrupt requests. devm then
frees the interrupts first, so the handlers can no longer queue work,
before disabling the delayed and plain work items and destroying the
workqueue. Disabling the items, rather than cancelling them, keeps
them disabled so no producer (including the power-supply
external_power_changed callback) can requeue them.
Found by an in-house static analysis tool. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in oplock break notification
smb2_oplock_break_noti() reads opinfo->conn without any lock and
dereferences it after two allocations which may sleep. When the
durable handle owning the oplock is disconnected, session_fd_check()
clears opinfo->conn and drops its conn reference under ci->m_lock, and
the last ksmbd_conn_put() frees the connection. A break triggered by
another connection that races with the teardown can then resurrect the
freed connection: ksmbd_conn_get() is a plain atomic_inc, and the
queued break work later dereferences the stale conn via
ksmbd_conn_write(), a use-after-free reachable by any authenticated
client holding a durable batch oplock.
Thread the caller's inode into the notification path instead of taking
a new reference on it. Every caller of oplock_break() already holds a
live ksmbd_file (or an explicit ksmbd_inode_lookup_lock() reference,
in the parent lease break paths) on the inode that owns the break
target's oplock list, so ci cannot be freed during the call, and its
lock can be taken without dereferencing opinfo->o_fp, which a
concurrent close may free. Select and pin the connection under
ci->m_lock, the same lock session_fd_check() and
ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd() use to update opinfo->conn, so a concurrent
detach either loses the race to the clear or keeps the connection
alive until the notification work releases it. Transfer the reference
to the work item and release it on allocation failures. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: sun8i-ce - Remove crypto_rng interface
Since the crypto_rng interface for hardware PRNGs is unused and is
redundant with hwrng and the actual Linux RNG, it's being phased out.
Most drivers for it were already removed. Go ahead and remove the
sun8i-ce support which is one of the only remaining ones.
Note that the sun8i-ce support for hwrng remains in place. That is the
interface that actually matters.
As usual for crypto_rng, this driver was also buggy: its ->generate()
function had a use-after-free vulnerability due to using
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() without handling shutting
down the DMA operation if a signal is sent. There's no point in fixing
this separately only to remove the code anyway, so this commit is marked
with Fixes and Cc stable. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role
Commit 0cb2af2ea66ad ("KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due
to unexpected GFN") fixed a shadow paging mismatch between stored and
computed GFNs; the bug could be triggered by changing a PDE mapping from
outside the guest, and then deleting a memslot. The rmap_remove()
call would miss entries created after the PDE change because the GFN
of the leaf SPTE does not match the GFN of the struct kvm_mmu_page.
A similar hole however remains if the modified PDE points to a non-leaf
page. In this case the gfn can be made to match, but the role does not
match: the original large 2MB page creates a kvm_mmu_page with direct=1,
while the new 4KB needs a kvm_mmu_page with direct=0. However,
kvm_mmu_get_child_sp() does not compare the role, and therefore reuses
the page.
The next step is installing a leaf (4KB) SPTE on the new path which
records an rmap entry under the gfn resolved by the walk. But when
that child is zapped its parent kvm_mmu_page has direct=1 and
kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn() computes the gfn for the 4KB page as
sp->gfn + index instead of using sp->shadowed_translation[] (or sp->gfns[]
in older kernels). It therefore fails to remove the recorded entry.
When the memslot is dropped the shadow page is freed but the rmap
entry survives, as in the scenario that was already fixed. Code that
later walks that gfn (dirty logging, MMU notifier invalidation, and
so on) dereferences an sptep that lies in the freed page, causing the
use-after-free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventpoll: fix ep_remove struct eventpoll / struct file UAF
ep_remove() (via ep_remove_file()) cleared file->f_ep under
file->f_lock but then kept using @file inside the critical section
(is_file_epoll(), hlist_del_rcu() through the head, spin_unlock).
A concurrent __fput() taking the eventpoll_release() fastpath in
that window observed the transient NULL, skipped
eventpoll_release_file() and ran to f_op->release / file_free().
For the epoll-watches-epoll case, f_op->release is
ep_eventpoll_release() -> ep_clear_and_put() -> ep_free(), which
kfree()s the watched struct eventpoll. Its embedded ->refs
hlist_head is exactly where epi->fllink.pprev points, so the
subsequent hlist_del_rcu()'s "*pprev = next" scribbles into freed
kmalloc-192 memory.
In addition, struct file is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so the slot
backing @file could be recycled by alloc_empty_file() --
reinitializing f_lock and f_ep -- while ep_remove() is still
nominally inside that lock. The upshot is an attacker-controllable
kmem_cache_free() against the wrong slab cache.
Pin @file via epi_fget() at the top of ep_remove() and gate the
critical section on the pin succeeding. With the pin held @file
cannot reach refcount zero, which holds __fput() off and
transitively keeps the watched struct eventpoll alive across the
hlist_del_rcu() and the f_lock use, closing both UAFs.
If the pin fails @file has already reached refcount zero and its
__fput() is in flight. Because we bailed before clearing f_ep,
that path takes the eventpoll_release() slow path into
eventpoll_release_file() and blocks on ep->mtx until the waiter
side's ep_clear_and_put() drops it. The bailed epi's share of
ep->refcount stays intact, so the trailing ep_refcount_dec_and_test()
in ep_clear_and_put() cannot free the eventpoll out from under
eventpoll_release_file(); the orphaned epi is then cleaned up
there.
A successful pin also proves we are not racing
eventpoll_release_file() on this epi, so drop the now-redundant
re-check of epi->dying under f_lock. The cheap lockless
READ_ONCE(epi->dying) fast-path bailout stays. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventpoll: don't decrement ep refcount while still holding the ep mutex
Jann Horn points out that epoll is decrementing the ep refcount and then
doing a
mutex_unlock(&ep->mtx);
afterwards. That's very wrong, because it can lead to a use-after-free.
That pattern is actually fine for the very last reference, because the
code in question will delay the actual call to "ep_free(ep)" until after
it has unlocked the mutex.
But it's wrong for the much subtler "next to last" case when somebody
*else* may also be dropping their reference and free the ep while we're
still using the mutex.
Note that this is true even if that other user is also using the same ep
mutex: mutexes, unlike spinlocks, can not be used for object ownership,
even if they guarantee mutual exclusion.
A mutex "unlock" operation is not atomic, and as one user is still
accessing the mutex as part of unlocking it, another user can come in
and get the now released mutex and free the data structure while the
first user is still cleaning up.
See our mutex documentation in Documentation/locking/mutex-design.rst,
in particular the section [1] about semantics:
"mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure even after it has
internally released the lock already - so it's not safe for
another context to acquire the mutex and assume that the
mutex_unlock() context is not using the structure anymore"
So if we drop our ep ref before the mutex unlock, but we weren't the
last one, we may then unlock the mutex, another user comes in, drops
_their_ reference and releases the 'ep' as it now has no users - all
while the mutex_unlock() is still accessing it.
Fix this by simply moving the ep refcount dropping to outside the mutex:
the refcount itself is atomic, and doesn't need mutex protection (that's
the whole _point_ of refcounts: unlike mutexes, they are inherently
about object lifetimes). |

ipv6: mcast: extend RCU protection in igmp6_send()
igmp6_send() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.
Extend RCU protection so that we can safely fetch the net pointer
and avoid a potential UAF.
Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.
Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk
socket under RCU protection. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Defer work in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free
Currently, the same case as previous patch (two timer callbacks trying
to cancel each other) can be invoked through bpf_map_update_elem as
well, or more precisely, freeing map elements containing timers. Since
this relies on hrtimer_cancel as well, it is prone to the same deadlock
situation as the previous patch.
It would be sufficient to use hrtimer_try_to_cancel to fix this problem,
as the timer cannot be enqueued after async_cancel_and_free. Once
async_cancel_and_free has been done, the timer must be reinitialized
before it can be armed again. The callback running in parallel trying to
arm the timer will fail, and freeing bpf_hrtimer without waiting is
sufficient (given kfree_rcu), and bpf_timer_cb will return
HRTIMER_NORESTART, preventing the timer from being rearmed again.
However, there exists a UAF scenario where the callback arms the timer
before entering this function, such that if cancellation fails (due to
timer callback invoking this routine, or the target timer callback
running concurrently). In such a case, if the timer expiration is
significantly far in the future, the RCU grace period expiration
happening before it will free the bpf_hrtimer state and along with it
the struct hrtimer, that is enqueued.
Hence, it is clear cancellation needs to occur after
async_cancel_and_free, and yet it cannot be done inline due to deadlock
issues. We thus modify bpf_timer_cancel_and_free to defer work to the
global workqueue, adding a work_struct alongside rcu_head (both used at
_different_ points of time, so can share space).
Update existing code comments to reflect the new state of affairs. |

sh: push-switch: Reorder cleanup operations to avoid use-after-free bug
The original code puts flush_work() before timer_shutdown_sync()
in switch_drv_remove(). Although we use flush_work() to stop
the worker, it could be rescheduled in switch_timer(). As a result,
a use-after-free bug can occur. The details are shown below:
(cpu 0) | (cpu 1)
switch_drv_remove() |
flush_work() |
... | switch_timer // timer
| schedule_work(&psw->work)
timer_shutdown_sync() |
... | switch_work_handler // worker
kfree(psw) // free |
| psw->state = 0 // use
This patch puts timer_shutdown_sync() before flush_work() to
mitigate the bugs. As a result, the worker and timer will be
stopped safely before the deallocate operations. |
| A remote, unauthenticated TLS client can make a server crash or call
through a freed pointer if its sni_callback assigns a different context to
SSLSocket.context (the documented way to select a certificate per server
name) and nothing else keeps the original ssl.SSLContext alive. Typical
cases are servers that create an SSLContext per connection or replace it
while connections are open; servers that wrap their listening socket with
it are not affected.
Mitigation: keep a reference to every SSLContext that sets sni_callback for
the lifetime of the server. TLS clients are not affected. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/rocket: fix UAF via dangling GEM handle in create_bo
rocket_ioctl_create_bo() inserts a GEM handle into the file's IDR via
drm_gem_handle_create() early on, then performs several operations that
can fail (sgt allocation, drm_mm insert, iommu_map). If any fail after
the handle is live, the error path calls drm_gem_shmem_object_free()
which kfree's the object without removing the handle from the IDR.
This leaves a dangling handle pointing to freed slab memory. Any
subsequent ioctl using that handle (PREP_BO, FINI_BO, SUBMIT) calls
drm_gem_object_lookup() and dereferences freed memory (UAF).
Fix by moving drm_gem_handle_create() to after all fallible operations
succeed, matching the pattern used by panfrost, lima, and etnaviv.
Also fix drm_mm_insert_node_generic() whose return value was silently
overwritten by iommu_map_sgtable() on the next line. Add the missing
error check.

| In all builds that make use of (D)TLS, including default builds, there is a series of conditional states during the TLS shutdown which could lead to a heap-use-after free. If an application ended up getting a partial wolfSSL_read() which is sometimes caused by a small user buffer passed in, then called wolfSSL_shutdown for a bidirectional close and attempted to wolfSSL_read() again while the peer continues trying to send data during the shutdown it would lead to a state where a potential heap-use-after free happened. |

| PyPy before versions 3.11.16 and 3.12.14 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the pyexpat module's ExternalEntityParserCreate function that allows attackers to corrupt memory by supplying a crafted XML document to applications that create external-entity sub-parsers without retaining a reference to the parent parser. The child parser retains a raw C back-pointer to the parent parser struct while PyPy's tracing garbage collector can free the parent's C struct, causing bundled libexpat to dereference the freed pointer on every parsed token, producing memory corruption. |
