netfilter: nft_ct: fix missing expect put in obj eval
nft_ct_expect_obj_eval() allocates an expectation and may call
nf_ct_expect_related(), but never drops its local reference.
Add nf_ct_expect_put(exp) before return to balance allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: Replace old pointer to new idr
Commit 5e28b7b94408 introduced a logical error by failing to replace the
newly generated IDR pointer to old id's pointer at the correct location
within the "change handle" logic; this resulted in the issue reported by
syzbot [1].
Specifically, the new IDR object pointer is intended to replace the original
id's pointer during the normal execution flow.
Additionally, an unnecessary conditional check for the ret exit path has
been removed.

drm/ttm: Fix ttm_bo_swapout() infinite LRU walk on swapout failure
When ttm_tt_swapout() fails, the current code calls
ttm_resource_add_bulk_move() followed by ttm_resource_move_to_lru_tail()
to restore the resource's bulk_move membership.
However, ttm_resource_move_to_lru_tail() places the resource at the tail
of the LRU list which, relative to the walk cursor's hitch node (placed
immediately after the resource when it was yielded), puts the resource
*in front of the* the hitch. The next list_for_each_entry_continue() from
the hitch finds the same resource again, causing an infinite loop.
Fix by deferring del_bulk_move to the success path only.
On the success path, TTM_TT_FLAG_SWAPPED has just been set by
ttm_tt_swapout() but the resource is still tracked in the bulk_move range,
so ttm_resource_del_bulk_move()'s !ttm_resource_unevictable() guard would
incorrectly skip the removal. Introduce
ttm_resource_del_bulk_move_unevictable() which bypasses that guard. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Bound MIDI 2.0 endpoint descriptor scans
The USB MIDI 2.0 endpoint parser has the same descriptor walking
pattern as the legacy MIDI parser. It validates bLength against
bNumGrpTrmBlock before reading baAssoGrpTrmBlkID[], but not against the
remaining bytes in the endpoint-extra scan.
A malformed device can therefore make later baAssoGrpTrmBlkID[] reads
consume bytes past the walked descriptor.
Reject zero-length and overlong descriptors while walking endpoint
extras. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Bound MIDI endpoint descriptor scans
snd_usbmidi_get_ms_info() validates the internal MIDIStreaming endpoint
descriptor size before using baAssocJackID[], but the descriptor walker can
still return a class-specific endpoint descriptor whose bLength exceeds the
remaining bytes in the endpoint-extra scan.
That leaves later flexible-array reads bounded by bLength, but not by the
remaining bytes in the endpoint-extra scan.
Stop walking when bLength is zero or
extends past the remaining endpoint-extra scan. |

ceph: fix a buffer leak in __ceph_setxattr()
The old_blob in __ceph_setxattr() can store
ci->i_xattrs.prealloc_blob value during the retry.
However, it is never called the ceph_buffer_put()

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/ttm: Fix ttm_bo_shrink() infinite LRU walk on backup failure
Apply the same fix as b2ed01e7ad ("drm/ttm: Fix ttm_bo_swapout()
infinite LRU walk on swapout failure") to the ttm_bo_shrink() path.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: dev: prevent integer overflow in I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl
While fuzzing with Syzkaller, a persistent `schedule_timeout: wrong
timeout value` warning was observed, accompanied by SMBus controller
state machine corruption.
The I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl accepts a user-provided timeout in multiples of
10 ms. The user argument is checked against INT_MAX, but it is
subsequently multiplied by 10 before being passed to msecs_to_jiffies().
A malicious user can pass a large value (e.g., 429496729) that passes
the `arg > INT_MAX` check but overflows when multiplied by 10. This
results in a truncated 32-bit unsigned value that bypasses the
internal `(int)m < 0` check in `msecs_to_jiffies()`.
The truncated value is then assigned to `client->adapter->timeout`
(a signed 32-bit int), which is reinterpreted as a negative number.
When passed to wait_for_completion_timeout(), this negative value
undergoes sign extension to a 64-bit unsigned long, triggering the
`schedule_timeout` warning and causing premature returns. This leaves
the SMBus state machine in an unrecoverable state, constituting a
local Denial of Service (DoS).
Fix this by bounding the user argument to `INT_MAX / 10`.

net/smc: avoid NULL deref of conn->lnk in smc_msg_event tracepoint
The smc_msg_event tracepoint class, shared by smc_tx_sendmsg and
smc_rx_recvmsg, unconditionally dereferences smc->conn.lnk:
__string(name, smc->conn.lnk->ibname)
conn->lnk is only set for SMC-R; for SMC-D it is NULL. Other code on
these paths already handles this (e.g. !conn->lnk in
SMC_STAT_RMB_TX_SIZE_SMALL()). With the tracepoint enabled, the first
sendmsg()/recvmsg() on an SMC-D socket crashes:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [...]
RIP: 0010:strlen+0x1e/0xa0

The faulting address 0x3e0 is offsetof(struct smc_link, ibname),
confirming the NULL ->lnk deref. Enabling the tracepoint requires
root, but the trigger itself is unprivileged: socket(AF_SMC, ...) has
no capability check, and SMC-D negotiation needs no admin step on
s390 or on x86 with the loopback ISM device loaded.
Log an empty device name for SMC-D instead of dereferencing NULL. |

tap: fix stack info leak in tap_ioctl() SIOCGIFHWADDR
In the SIOCGIFHWADDR path, tap_ioctl() copies 16 bytes of an
uninitialised on-stack struct sockaddr_storage to userspace via
ifr_hwaddr, but netif_get_mac_address() only writes sa_family and
dev->addr_len (6 for Ethernet) bytes, leaving sa_data[6..13] uninitialised.
Those 8 trailing bytes leak kernel stack contents; SIOCGIFHWADDR on a
macvtap chardev returns kernel .text and direct-map pointers, defeating
KASLR.
Initialise ss at declaration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: jitterentropy - replace long-held spinlock with mutex
jent_kcapi_random() serializes the shared jitterentropy state, but it
currently holds a spinlock across the jent_read_entropy() call. That
path performs expensive jitter collection and SHA3 conditioning, so
parallel readers can trigger stalls as contending waiters spin for
the same lock.
To prevent non-preemptible lock hold, replace rng->jent_lock with a
mutex so contended readers sleep instead of spinning on a shared lock
held across expensive entropy generation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipc/shm: serialize orphan cleanup with shm_nattch updates
shm_destroy_orphaned() walks the shm idr under shm_ids(ns).rwsem, but that
does not serialize all fields tested by shm_may_destroy(). In particular,
shm_nattch is updated while holding shm_perm.lock, and attach paths can do
that without holding the rwsem.
Do not decide that an orphaned segment is unused before taking the object
lock. Move the shm_may_destroy() check under shm_perm.lock, matching the
other destroy paths, and unlock the segment when it no longer qualifies
for removal. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Reject SIOCATMARK on non-stream sockets
SIOCATMARK reports whether the receive queue is at the urgent mark for
MSG_OOB.
In AF_UNIX, MSG_OOB is supported only for SOCK_STREAM sockets.
SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET reject MSG_OOB in sendmsg() and recvmsg(),
so they should not support SIOCATMARK either.
Return -EOPNOTSUPP for non-stream sockets before checking the receive
queue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vrf: Fix a potential NPD when removing a port from a VRF
RCU readers that identified a net device as a VRF port using
netif_is_l3_slave() assume that a subsequent call to
netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() will return a VRF device. They then
continue to dereference its l3mdev operations.
This assumption is not always correct and can result in a NPD [1]. There
is no RCU synchronization when removing a port from a VRF, so it is
possible for an RCU reader to see a new master device (e.g., a bridge)
that does not have l3mdev operations.
Fix by adding RCU synchronization after clearing the IFF_L3MDEV_SLAVE
flag. Skip this synchronization when a net device is removed from a VRF
as part of its deletion and when the VRF device itself is deleted. In
the latter case an RCU grace period will pass by the time RTNL is
released.

netfilter: ipset: stop hash:* range iteration at end
The following hash set variants:
hash:ip,mark
hash:ip,port
hash:ip,port,ip
hash:ip,port,net
iterate IPv4 ranges with a 32-bit iterator.
The iterator must stop once the last address in the requested range has
been processed. Advancing it once more can move the traversal state past
the end of the request, so a later retry may continue from an unintended
position.
Handle the iterator increment explicitly at the end of the loop and stop
once the upper bound has been processed. This keeps the existing retry
behaviour intact for valid ranges while preventing traversal from
continuing past the original boundary. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/waitid: clear waitid info before copying it to userspace
IORING_OP_WAITID stores its result fields in struct io_waitid::info and
later copies them to userspace siginfo. The prep path initializes the
request arguments, but it does not initialize info itself.
If the wait operation completes without reporting a child event, the common
wait code can return without writing wo_info. In that case io_waitid_finish()
still copies iw->info to userspace, exposing stale bytes from the reused
io_kiocb command storage.
Clear the result storage during prep so the io_uring path matches the
regular waitid syscall, which uses a zero-initialized struct waitid_info. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/uapi: Reject coh_none PAT index for CPU cached memory in madvise
Add validation in xe_vm_madvise_ioctl() to reject PAT indices with
XE_COH_NONE coherency mode when applied to CPU cached memory.
Using coh_none with CPU cached buffers is a security issue. When the
kernel clears pages before reallocation, the clear operation stays in
CPU cache (dirty). GPU with coh_none can bypass CPU caches and read
stale sensitive data directly from DRAM, potentially leaking data from
previously freed pages of other processes.
This aligns with the existing validation in vm_bind path
(xe_vm_bind_ioctl_validate_bo).

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extraneous BUG_ONs. |
