ipv4: igmp: remove multicast group from hash table on device destruction
When a device is destroyed under RTNL, ip_mc_destroy_dev() iterates through
the multicast list and calls ip_ma_put() on each membership, scheduling
them for RCU reclamation. However, they are not unlinked from the device's
multicast hash table (mc_hash).
Since the device remains published in dev->ip_ptr until after
ip_mc_destroy_dev() completes, concurrent RCU readers traversing mc_hash
can still locate and access the multicast group after its refcount is
decremented. If the RCU callback runs and frees the group while a reader is
accessing it, a use-after-free occurs.
Fix this by unlinking the multicast group from mc_hash using
ip_mc_hash_remove() before scheduling it for reclamation.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix WEP length underflow and OOB read in OnAuth()
OnAuth() has two bugs in the shared-key authentication path.
When the Privacy bit is set, rtw_wep_decrypt() is called without
verifying that the frame is long enough to contain a valid WEP IV and
ICV. Inside rtw_wep_decrypt(), length is computed as:
length = len - WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN - iv_len
and then passed as (length - 4) to crc32_le(). If len is less than
WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN + iv_len + icv_len (32 bytes), length - 4 is negative
and, after the implicit cast to size_t, causes crc32_le() to read far
beyond the frame buffer. Add a minimum length check before accessing
the IV field and calling the decryption path.
When processing a seq=3 response, rtw_get_ie() stores the Challenge
Text IE length in ie_len, but the subsequent memcmp() always reads 128
bytes regardless of ie_len. IEEE 802.11 mandates a challenge text of
exactly 128 bytes; reject any IE whose length field differs, matching
the check already applied to OnAuthClient(). |

tipc: fix out-of-bounds read in broadcast Gap ACK blocks
A broadcast PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG can carry a Gap ACK blocks record in its
data area. tipc_get_gap_ack_blks() only verifies that the record's len
field is self-consistent with its ugack_cnt/bgack_cnt counts
(sz == struct_size(p, gacks, ugack_cnt + bgack_cnt)); it does not check
that the record actually fits in the message data area, msg_data_sz().
The unicast caller tipc_link_proto_rcv() bounds it ("if (glen > dlen)
break;"), but the broadcast caller tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() discards the
returned size, so tipc_link_advance_transmq() copies the record off the
receive skb with an attacker-controlled count:
this_ga = kmemdup(ga, struct_size(ga, gacks, ga->bgack_cnt),
GFP_ATOMIC);
A TIPC neighbour that negotiated TIPC_GAP_ACK_BLOCK triggers it with one
ordinary broadcast STATE_MSG (msg_bc_ack_invalid() clear), sized so its
data area is short, carrying a Gap ACK record with len = 0x400,
bgack_cnt = 0xff and ugack_cnt = 0. len then equals
struct_size(p, gacks, 255), so the consistency check passes and ga is
non-NULL; kmemdup() reads struct_size(ga, gacks, 255) = 1024 bytes out
of the much smaller skb:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_noprof+0x48/0x60

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0000c7030d00
which belongs to the cache skbuff_small_head of size 704
The buggy address is located 56 bytes inside of
allocated 704-byte region [ffff0000c7030d00, ffff0000c7030fc0)
The copied-out bytes are subsequently consumed as gap/ack values, but
the read is already out of bounds at the kmemdup() regardless of how
they are used.
The unicast STATE path drops such a message: "if (glen > dlen) break;"
skips the rest of STATE_MSG handling and the skb is freed. Make the
broadcast path drop it too. tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() now bounds the record
against msg_data_sz() and, when it does not fit, reports it back through
tipc_node_bc_sync_rcv() to tipc_rcv() so the skb is discarded rather than
processed. ga is not cleared on this path: ga == NULL already means
"legacy peer without Selective ACK", a distinct legitimate state. |

usb: misc: usbio: fix disconnect UAF in client teardown
usbio_disconnect() walks usbio->cli_list in reverse and uninitializes each
auxiliary device. auxiliary_device_uninit() drops the device reference, and
for an unbound child that can run usbio_auxdev_release() and free the
containing struct usbio_client.
list_for_each_entry_reverse() advances after the loop body by reading
client->link.prev. If the current client is freed by
auxiliary_device_uninit(), the iterator dereferences freed memory.
Use list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse() so the previous client is
cached before the body can drop the final reference. This preserves
reverse teardown order while keeping the next iterator cursor independent
of the current client's lifetime.

The virtio_balloon device registers 5 queues (inflate, deflate, stats,
free_page, reporting) but only the first two are unconditional. The
stats, free_page and reporting queues are each conditional on their
respective feature bits. When any of these features are absent, the
corresponding vqs_info entry has name == NULL, creating holes in the
array.
The root cause is an indexing mismatch introduced when vq info storage
was changed to be passed as an argument. vp_find_vqs_msix() and
vp_find_vqs_intx() store the info pointer at vp_dev->vqs[i], where 'i'
is the caller's sparse array index. However, the virtqueue itself gets
vq->index assigned from queue_idx, a dense index that skips NULL
entries. When holes exist, 'i' and queue_idx diverge. Later,
vp_del_vqs() looks up info via vp_dev->vqs[vq->index] using the dense
index into the sparsely-populated array, and hits NULL.
Fix this by storing info at vp_dev->vqs[queue_idx] instead of
vp_dev->vqs[i], so the store index matches the lookup index
(vq->index). Apply the fix to both the MSIX and INTX paths. |

vfio/pci: Release the VGA arbiter client on register_device() failure
The re-order in the Fixes commit below displaced vfio_pci_vga_init() as
the last failure point of what is now vfio_pci_core_register_device()
without introducing an unwind for the VGA arbiter registration.
In current kernels this is mostly benign because vfio_pci_set_decode()
only uses pci_dev state, but the original failure path could leave a
callback with a freed vdev cookie. The stale registration also becomes
unsafe again once the callback follows drvdata to the vfio device.
Add the required VGA unwind callout. |

iio: adc: lpc32xx: Initialize completion before requesting IRQ
In the report from Jaeyoung Chung:
"lpc32xx_adc_probe() in drivers/iio/adc/lpc32xx_adc.c registers its
interrupt handler with devm_request_irq() before it initializes
st->completion with init_completion(). If an interrupt arrives after
devm_request_irq() and before init_completion(), the handler calls
complete() on an uninitialized completion, causing a kernel panic.
The probe path, in lpc32xx_adc_probe():
iodev = devm_iio_device_alloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*st)); /* st kzalloc-zeroed */
...
retval = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, irq, lpc32xx_adc_isr, 0,
LPC32XXAD_NAME, st); /* register handler */
...
init_completion(&st->completion); /* initialize completion */
lpc32xx_adc_isr() calls complete():
complete(&st->completion);
If the device raises an interrupt before init_completion() runs,
complete() acquires the uninitialized wait.lock and walks the zeroed
task_list in swake_up_locked(). The zeroed task_list makes list_empty()
return false, so swake_up_locked() dereferences a NULL list entry,
triggering a KASAN wild-memory-access."
Fix the chance of a spurious IRQ causing an uninitialized pointer
dereference by moving init_completion() above devm_request_irq(). |

wifi: rtw89: correct drop logic for malformed AMPDU frames
The previous commit aims to fix issue caused by malformed AMPDU frames.
But the drop logic fails to deal with the first AMPDU packet paired with
certain range of sequence number, and leads to unexpected packet drop.
It is more likely to encounter this failure when there are busy traffic
during rekey process and could lead to disconnection from the AP.
Fix this by adding a initial state judgement and only reset status
during pairwise rekey. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Support for hardening against JIT spraying
The BPF JIT allocator packs many small programs into larger executable
allocations and reuses space within those allocations as programs are
loaded and freed. When fresh code is written into space that a previous
program occupied, an indirect jump into the new program can reuse a branch
prediction left behind by the old one.
Flush the indirect branch predictors before reusing JIT memory so that
indirect jumps into a newly written program don't reuse predictions from an
old program that occupied the same space.
Introduce bpf_arch_pred_flush_enabled static key and bpf_arch_pred_flush
static call for flushing the branch predictors on JIT memory reuse.
Architectures that need a flush, can update it to a predictor flush
function. By default, its a NOP and does not emit any CALL.
Allocations larger than a pack are not covered by this flush. That is safe
because cBPF programs (the unprivileged attack surface) are bounded well
below a pack size. Issue a warning if this assumption is ever violated
while the flush is active. |

wifi: mac80211: fix MLE defragmentation
If either reconf or EPCS multi-link element (MLE) is contained in
a non-transmitted profile, the defragmentation routine is called
with a pointer to the defragmented copy, but the original elements.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- if the original defragmentation was needed, it will not find the
correct data
- if the original frame is at a higher address, the parsing will
potentially overrun the heap data (though given the layout of
the buffers, only into the new defragmentation buffer, and then
it has to stop and fail once that's filled with copied data.
Fix it by tracking the container along with the pointer and in
doing so also unify the two almost identical defragmentation
routines. |

net/mlx5e: Fix eswitch mode block underflow on IPsec acquire SA
mlx5e_xfrm_add_state() handles acquire-flow temporary SAs by allocating
software state and skipping hardware offload setup.
That path jumps to the common success label before taking the eswitch mode
block. After tunnel-mode validation was moved earlier, the common success
label unconditionally calls mlx5_eswitch_unblock_mode(). For acquire SAs,
this decrements esw->offloads.num_block_mode without a matching increment.
Return directly after installing the acquire SA offload handle, so only the
paths that successfully called mlx5_eswitch_block_mode() call the matching
unblock. |

xfrm: move policy_bydst RCU sync from per-netns .exit to .pre_exit
The struct pernet_operations docstring in include/net/net_namespace.h
explicitly warns against blocking RCU primitives in .exit handlers:
Exit methods using blocking RCU primitives, such as
synchronize_rcu(), should be implemented via exit_batch.
[...]
Please, avoid synchronize_rcu() at all, where it's possible.
Note that a combination of pre_exit() and exit() can
be used, since a synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed between
the calls.
xfrm_policy_fini() violates this: it calls synchronize_rcu() before
freeing the policy_bydst hash tables (so no RCU reader is mid-
traversal at free time), but runs from xfrm_net_ops.exit -- once per
namespace -- so a cleanup_net() of N namespaces pays N full RCU
grace periods serially.
Use the documented pre_exit/exit split. Move the policy flush (and
the workqueue drains it depends on) into a new .pre_exit handler;
xfrm_policy_fini() then runs in .exit and frees the hash tables
after the synchronize_rcu_expedited() that cleanup_net() guarantees
between the two phases. Providing O(1) RCU grace periods per batch
instead of O(N).
Observed on Linux 6.18 with a workload doing unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)
at ~13/sec sustained: cleanup_net() and the netns_wq rescuer kthread
both stuck in xfrm_policy_fini()'s synchronize_rcu(), >300k struct
net accumulated in the cleanup queue, Percpu in /proc/meminfo climbed
to 130+ GB on 256-CPU hosts, and memcg OOMs followed. setup_net and
__put_net counts were balanced, ruling out a refcount leak. |

staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB reads in is_ap_in_tkip() IE loop
The loop in is_ap_in_tkip() iterates over IEs without verifying that
enough bytes remain before dereferencing the IE header or its payload:
- pIE->element_id and pIE->length are read without checking that
i + sizeof(*pIE) <= ie_length, so a truncated IE at the end of the
buffer causes an OOB read.
- For WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC the code compares pIE->data + 12,
which requires pIE->length >= 16. For WLAN_EID_RSN it compares
pIE->data + 8, requiring pIE->length >= 12. Neither requirement
is checked.

ipv6: ndisc: fix NULL deref in accept_untracked_na()

NULL-checked idev for the same device.
Both reads of dev->ip6_ptr run in the same RCU read-side critical
section, but a concurrent addrconf_ifdown() can clear dev->ip6_ptr
between them: lowering the MTU below IPV6_MIN_MTU calls addrconf_ifdown()
without the synchronize_net() that orders the unregister path, so the
re-fetch returns NULL and oopses:

i2c: i801: fix hardware state machine corruption in error path
A severe livelock and subsequent Hung Task panic were observed in the
i2c-i801 driver during concurrent Fuzzing. The crash is caused by an
unconditional hardware register cleanup in the error handling path of
i801_access().
When i801_check_pre() fails (e.g., returning -EBUSY because the SMBus
controller is actively used by BIOS/ACPI), the kernel does not actually
acquire the hardware ownership. However, the code jumps to the 'out'
label and executes:
iowrite8(SMBHSTSTS_INUSE_STS | STATUS_FLAGS, SMBHSTSTS(priv));
This forcefully clears the INUSE_STS lock and resets the hardware status
flags without owning the controller. Doing so interrupts ongoing BIOS/ACPI
transactions and totally corrupts the SMBus hardware state machine.
Consequently, all subsequent i801_access() calls fail at the pre-check
stage, triggering an endless stream of "SMBus is busy, can't use it!"
error logs. Over a slow serial console, this printk flood monopolizes
the CPU (Console Livelock), starving other processes trying to acquire
the mmap_lock down_read semaphore, ultimately triggering the hung task
watchdog.
Fix this by moving the 'out' label below the hardware register cleanup.
If i801_check_pre() fails, we safely bypass the iowrite8() and only
release the software locks (pm_runtime and mutex), strictly adhering to
the rule of not releasing resources that were never acquired. |
