af_packet: Don't send zero-byte data in tpacket_snd().
syzbot reported a WARNING in __dev_queue_xmit() triggered via tpacket_snd():

When sending 0-byte packets via TPACKET ring buffer on devices with no
hard header (e.g. dev->hard_header_len == 0), tpacket_fill_skb()
populates an skb with skb->len == 0 and returns 0. tpacket_snd() then
forwards this empty skb to packet_xmit(), causing __dev_queue_xmit() to
hit skb_assert_len(skb).
Similar checks exist in packet_snd() via commit dc633700f00f
("net/af_packet: check len when min_header_len equals to 0") and in
packet_sendmsg_spkt() via commit 6a341729fb31 ("af_packet: Don't send
zero-byte data in packet_sendmsg_spkt().").
Return -EINVAL in tpacket_fill_skb() when skb->len is zero to reject
zero-length packets in tpacket_snd(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() from sk_mc_loop()
sk_mc_loop() can be called for sockets that are neither AF_INET
nor AF_INET6 (e.g. AF_PACKET sockets when sending packets via raw/packet
socket over virtual devices such as VRF or ipvlan).
In such cases, sk_family is not AF_INET/AF_INET6 and sk_mc_loop() falls
through the switch statement and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(1).
Non-INET sockets do not support IP_MULTICAST_LOOP or IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP
options, so loopback should default to true without generating a warning. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: remove napi_synchronize() in igc_down()
When an AF_XDP zero-copy application is killed abruptly, the XSK pool is
torn down but NAPI keeps polling. igc_clean_rx_irq_zc() then returns the
full budget on every poll, so napi_complete_done() never clears
NAPI_STATE_SCHED.
igc_down() calls napi_synchronize() before napi_disable(), so it spins
forever waiting for that bit and the interface never goes down. Drop the
napi_synchronize() and let napi_disable() do the job -- it sets
NAPI_STATE_DISABLE, which forces the stuck poll to complete. Reorder it
ahead of igc_set_queue_napi() so the NAPI mapping is cleared only after
polling has stopped, matching the recent igb fix b1e067240379. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/mmiotrace: Add NULL check for mmio_trace_array in logging functions
mmio_trace_rw() and mmio_trace_mapping() retrieve mmio_trace_array into
tr and pass it to __trace_mmiotrace_rw() and __trace_mmiotrace_map().
If these functions are invoked while mmio_trace_array is NULL (e.g. before
initialization or after disabled), accessing tr->array_buffer.buffer will
result in a NULL pointer dereference crash.
Fix this by adding an explicit NULL check for tr at the beginning of
__trace_mmiotrace_rw() and __trace_mmiotrace_map(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: migrate_device: fix pte_pfn/pte_dirty called on non-present PTE
pte_pfn() and pte_dirty() have undefined behaviour when called on a
non-present PTE. In migrate_vma_collect_pmd(), these functions may be
invoked on non-present entries (e.g., device-private entries), leading
to potential crashes from pte_pfn() or incorrect dirty folio accounting
from pte_dirty(). Fix both by guarding with pte_present() checks. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disable xfrm_decode_session hook attachment
BPF LSM programs can currently attach to xfrm_decode_session(). That
hook may return an error, but security_skb_classify_flow() calls it
from a void path and triggers BUG_ON() if an error is returned.
Disable BPF attachment to the hook to prevent a BPF LSM program from
turning packet classification into a full panic. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: vub300: defer reset until cmd_mutex is unlocked
vub300_cmndwork_thread() holds cmd_mutex while it sends a command and
waits for the command response. If the response wait times out,
__vub300_command_response() kills the command URBs and then synchronously
resets the USB device through usb_reset_device().
That reset path re-enters the driver through vub300_pre_reset(), which
also takes cmd_mutex. The worker therefore tries to acquire the same
mutex recursively while it is still holding it from the command path.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually
reviewed against the current tree.
The grounded PoC kept the real worker and timeout/reset carrier:
vub300_cmndwork_thread()
__vub300_command_response()
usb_lock_device_for_reset()
usb_reset_device()
vub300_pre_reset()
Lockdep reported the same-task recursive acquisition on cmd_mutex:

*** DEADLOCK ***
Return a flag from __vub300_command_response() when the timeout path needs
a device reset, then perform the reset after vub300_cmndwork_thread() has
cleared the in-flight command state and dropped cmd_mutex. The reset is
still attempted before mmc_request_done(), preserving the existing request
completion ordering while avoiding the recursive lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp - Treat zero-length cert chain as query for blob lengths
When handling a PDH export, treat a zero-length userspace cert chain buffer
as a request to query the length of the relevant blobs. Failure to account
for the zero-length buffer trips a BUG_ON() when running with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y due to trying to get the physical address of the
ZERO_SIZE_PTR (returned by kzalloc() on the bogus allocation).

Thankfully, the bug is benign outside of CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y as getting
the physical address is just arithmetic, and the PSP errors out before
trying to write to the garbage address (which it must, otherwise querying
the blob lengths would clobber memory at pfn=0). |

[CAUSE]
ocfs2_journal_toggle_dirty() used to return -EIO when journal->j_bh no
longer contained a valid dinode, because the startup and shutdown paths
already handled that failure. Commit 10995aa2451a
("ocfs2: Morph the haphazard OCFS2_IS_VALID_DINODE() checks.") changed
the check to a BUG_ON() under the assumption that the journal dinode had
already been validated. That turns an unexpected invalid journal dinode
during mount teardown into a kernel crash instead of a normal mount
failure.
[FIX]
Replace the BUG_ON() with WARN_ON() and return -EIO. This keeps the
invariant warning for debugging, but restores the original behavior of
failing startup or shutdown cleanly instead of panicking the kernel. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error"
This reverts commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c81261bcdf13556abd4a958eca202.
Commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c ("PCI/MSI: Unmap MSI-X region on error") added an
iounmap(dev->msix_base) on the error path of msix_capability_init() to
release the MSI-X region when msix_setup_interrupts() fails.
When msix_setup_interrupts() fails, the call chain is:
msix_setup_interrupts()
-> __msix_setup_interrupts()
struct pci_dev *dev __free(free_msi_irqs) = __dev;
...
return ret; // __free cleanup fires on error
The __free(free_msi_irqs) cleanup calls pci_free_msi_irqs(), which
already handles the unmap:
void pci_free_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs(dev);
if (dev->msix_base) {
iounmap(dev->msix_base); // already unmapped here
dev->msix_base = NULL; // and set to NULL
}
}
So dev->msix_base is unmapped and set to NULL before
msix_setup_interrupts() returns to msix_capability_init(). The
"goto out_unmap" introduced by commit 1a8d4c6ecb4c ("PCI/MSI: Unmap
MSI-X region on error") then calls iounmap() a second time on a NULL
pointer.
This was reproduced on Intel Emerald Rapids (192 CPUs) while
running tools/testing/selftests/kexec/test_kexec_jump.sh:
WARNING: CPU#44 at iounmap+0x2a/0xe0

RDI=0 confirms iounmap() is called with NULL.
Restore the original "goto out_disable" and leave the unmap to the
existing __free(free_msi_irqs) cleanup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: picolcd: prevent NULL pointer dereference in picolcd_send_and_wait()
In picolcd_send_and_wait(), an integer overflow of the signed loop counter
'k' can theoretically lead to a NULL pointer dereference of 'raw_data'.
If the loop executes more than INT_MAX times, 'k' becomes negative,
making the condition 'k < size' true even when 'size' is 0.
Change the type of 'k' to 'unsigned int' to prevent the overflow and
eliminate the out-of-bounds access.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix ilock leak on error in xfs_dq_get_next_id
xfs_dq_get_next_id() takes the quota inode ILOCK before calling
xfs_iread_extents(). If xfs_iread_extents() fails, the function returns
immediately without releasing the lock, leaking the quota inode ILOCK.
This can leave the quota inode locked and cause subsequent quota
operations to hang.
Fix this by jumping to a common unlock path on error instead of returning
directly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: don't swallow dquot recovery verification errors
xlog_recover_dquot_commit_pass2() validates the recovered dquot with
xfs_dqblk_verify() and, on failure, sets error = -EFSCORRUPTED and jumps
to out_release. But out_release unconditionally returns 0, so the
corruption error is discarded: the caller xlog_recover_items_pass2()
sees success, log recovery proceeds as if the dquot were valid, and the
corrupt quota buffer can be written back to disk. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: evdev - sanitize event type index when fetching event masks
The user-supplied event type index passed to EVIOCGMASK / EVIOCSMASK
ioctls is used to index the static counts array in evdev_get_mask_cnt()
and client evmasks array in evdev_get_mask().
While the event type is architecturally bounded by EV_CNT, speculative
execution may mispredict bounds checks and perform out-of-bounds loads.
Sanitize the event type index in evdev_get_mask_cnt() branchlessly using
array_index_mask_nospec(). This clamps the index to 0 for safe array
access and forces the returned count to 0 speculatively when the index
is out of bounds.
We do not need additional array_index_nospec() calls in evdev_get_mask()
because evdev_get_mask_cnt() speculatively forces the count (and
resulting xfer_size) to 0 for out-of-bounds types, preventing any
speculative memory access to client evmasks array. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write on Type II inbound URBs
data_ep_set_params() sizes each URB transfer buffer before it adds the
Format Type II transfer delimiter:
u->packets = urb_packs;
u->buffer_size = maxsize * u->packets;
if (fmt->fmt_type == UAC_FORMAT_TYPE_II)
u->packets++; /* for transfer delimiter */
u->urb = usb_alloc_urb(u->packets, GFP_KERNEL);
buffer_size is computed from the pre-increment packet count and never
recomputed, so for a Type II endpoint the buffer is one packet short of
the packet count the URB is built with.
prepare_inbound_urb() then lays out one iso frame per packet and never
consults buffer_size:
offs = 0;
for (i = 0; i < urb_ctx->packets; i++) {
urb->iso_frame_desc[i].offset = offs;
urb->iso_frame_desc[i].length = ep->curpacksize;
offs += ep->curpacksize;
}
urb->transfer_buffer_length = offs;
urb->number_of_packets = urb_ctx->packets;
The last descriptor therefore points one packet past the end of the
transfer buffer, where the host controller writes device data on every
inbound transfer. prepare_silent_urb() and prepare_playback_urb() bound
their fill loops by ctx->buffer_size, so only capture is affected.
fmt_type comes from the device's audio streaming descriptors, so any
device advertising a Type II capture format hits this once userspace sets
hw_params on the stream.

per inbound transfer:

Compute buffer_size after the delimiter packet has been accounted for,
and bound the fill loop by buffer_size, as prepare_silent_urb() already
does on the outbound side. This grows every Type II URB allocation by
one maxsize packet.

usb: atm: cxacru: properly kill rcv_urb on error in cxacru_cm()
If cxacru_cm() encounters an error while submitting or waiting for snd_urb,
it aborts and returns the error without killing the already submitted
rcv_urb. This leaves the rcv_urb active.
When this happens during initialization (e.g., in cxacru_atm_start()), the
driver may ignore the error and proceed to call cxacru_poll_status(), which
invokes cxacru_cm() again. Attempting to submit the still-active rcv_urb
triggers a warning in usb_submit_urb():

submit in the first place, or if it already completed). |

usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index
The variable ndp_index is declared as a signed integer, but it stores
the return value of get_ncm(), which is unsigned.
A malicious host can supply a large offset that overflows the signed
ndp_index, making it negative. Because ndp_index is compared against
unsigned bounds, this negative value bypasses sanity checks and leads
to an out-of-bounds read when calculating the address of the NDP
block (ntb_ptr + ndp_index).
Fix this by changing ndp_index to unsigned int to ensure consistent
unsigned comparisons throughout the function. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: add permission check for KDSKBMETA ioctl
KDSKBMETA modifies keyboard meta mode but lacks the !perm check that all
other keyboard setter ioctls in vt_k_ioctl() enforce, allowing a process
to change meta mode on a non-controlling console without authorization. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: evdev - fix information leak in evdev_pass_values()
In evdev_pass_values(), the input_event structure is allocated on the
kernel stack and populated field-by-field. However, it is never fully
initialized. On architectures where struct input_event contains explicit
or implicit padding (such as the 32-bit __pad field on SPARC64), these
padding bytes are left uninitialized.
When this event structure is subsequently passed to the client buffer
and later copied to userspace, the uninitialized padding bytes leak
kernel stack memory, potentially exposing sensitive information.
Similar issues exist in __evdev_queue_syn_dropped and __pass_event.
Fix this by explicitly zeroing the entire event structure with memset()
before populating its fields. This ensures all padding bytes are cleared
before the data crosses the security boundary. |
