| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/xive: propagate IPI init errors to prevent use-after-free
When xive_init_ipis() fails (e.g. irq_domain_alloc_irqs() fails),
the error path frees the global xive_ipis array. However,
xive_smp_probe() previously ignored this failure and proceeded to
call xive_setup_cpu_ipi(), which dereferences the already-freed
xive_ipis pointer -- a use-after-free.
Now that xive_smp_probe() returns int (previous patch), propagate
the error from xive_init_ipis() and xive_setup_cpu_ipi() through
xive_smp_probe(). Check the return value in both pnv_smp_probe()
and pSeries_smp_probe() so that IPI setup is aborted cleanly on
failure, avoiding the use-after-free. |

RDMA/efa: Fix PBL chunk length computation
On register MR, when creating the PBL, if it's an indirect PBL we create
a chunk list to hold the PBL pages pointers. Each chunk is 4KB in size
and can hold 510 addresses (EFA_PTRS_PER_CHUNK) and has a 12-byte
control buffer at the end of it holding the next chunk's pointer and its
length.
If the PBL number of pages is a multiple of EFA_PTRS_PER_CHUNK, the
calculated last chunk length is wrongly computed as 0, even though that
chunk is fully populated with 510 real page pointers. This wrong length
is used both to DMA map the chunk and is propagated to the device,
causing the device to see the chunk as empty and reject the memory
registration.
Fix the calculation so it will be performed only if the number of pages
isn't a multiple of EFA_PTRS_PER_CHUNK, if it is, its already handled in
the above loop correctly.
Also prevent out-of-bounds reach in the chunks array in such scenario. |

remoteproc: qcom_wcnss: Fix handling the lack of PD regulators in v3
The changes introduced to handle single power domain platforms have
swapped the info pointer increment from num_pd_vregs to num_pds, which
would shift the info pointer past the end of the array for pronto-v3,
which does not list power domain regulators in vregs.
This showed up as a difference between GCC- and LLVM-compiled kernels
on SDM632 devices, where only with LLVM one would get the
"regulator request with no identifier" error, because the out-of-bounds
memory ended up being zeroed. Fix by skipping the increment when there
are more power domains than regulators. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: bcm2835: Don't remove an unregistered GPIO chip
If the devm_pinctrl_register() function fails,
bcm2835_pinctrl_probe() calls gpiochip_remove()
before gpiochip_add_data() has registered the GPIO chip.
This means that upon failure the gpio_chip.gpiodev
is NULL resulting in a null pointer dereference
inside the gpiochip_remove() function.
Remove the unnecessary function call to gpiochip_remove().
No GPIO cleanup is required because the GPIO chip
has not yet been registered. Without this change there
is potential for a kernel panic upon registration failure |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: use rcu_assign_pointer() for __rcu list updates
Several places in net/ipv6/mcast.c update RCU-protected lists
(np->ipv6_mc_list, idev->mc_list, idev->mc_tomb) using direct pointer
assignments instead of rcu_assign_pointer():
1. In __ipv6_dev_mc_dec(), unlinking a group from idev->mc_list did:
*map = ma->next;
without rcu_assign_pointer() while concurrent readers traverse
idev->mc_list locklessly under rcu_read_lock().
2. In ipv6_sock_mc_drop() and __ipv6_sock_mc_close(), unlinking a group
from np->ipv6_mc_list directly assigned *lnk = mc_lst->next and
np->ipv6_mc_list = mc_lst->next without rcu_assign_pointer(), racing
with lockless readers in inet6_mc_check().
3. In __ipv6_sock_mc_join(), mc_lst->next was initialized to
np->ipv6_mc_list via raw assignment before publishing mc_lst.
4. In mld_del_delrec() and __ipv6_dev_mc_inc(), __rcu source pointers
passed into rcu_assign_pointer() lacked explicit dereference helpers.
Fix these by consistently using rcu_assign_pointer() along with
mc_dereference() / sock_dereference(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: amd: yc: fix memory leak in acp6x_pdm_dma_close()
acp6x_pdm_dma_close() does not free the runtime->private_data buffer
allocated in acp6x_pdm_dma_open(). Add the missing kfree. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: detach failed sprout device from transaction update list
When creating the first metadata chunk for a sprout filesystem,
create_chunk() adds the new device to the transaction dev_update_list
through device->post_commit_list.
If the subsequent system chunk creation fails, btrfs_init_new_device()
aborts the transaction and releases the device while post_commit_list is
still linked. This triggers a warning in btrfs_free_device() and leaves
the transaction list referencing freed memory.
Detach the device while holding chunk_mutex before releasing it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: restore active device pointers after failed sprout
btrfs_init_new_device() switches latest_dev and possibly s_bdev from the
seed device to the new sprout device before creating the first writable
chunks.
If chunk creation or the subsequent sprout setup fails, the error path
releases the new device without switching those pointers back.
btrfs_show_devname() can then dereference the freed latest_dev and crash.
Restore the active device pointers to the latest seed device before
removing and releasing the failed sprout device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/rt,dl: Skip migrate-disabled tasks when picking a push candidate
A migrate_disable()'d RT task cannot be moved to another CPU, but the
scheduler still keeps such a task on that CPU's pushable list
(rq->rt.pushable_tasks) and still marks the runqueue RT-overloaded
(rq->rt.overloaded = 1). So the RT balancer keeps treating this CPU as
having a task to move away, and keeps trying to move the task, but the
push can never succeed. When the head is pinned, push_rt_task() does not
give up either. It falls back to pushing rq->curr instead, using the
per-CPU stopper, as added by commit a7c81556ec4d ("sched: Fix
migrate_disable() vs rt/dl balancing").
The CPU spends tens of milliseconds in this retry loop. The core is
isolated for real-time work, but during the loop nearly half of its time
is consumed by pushes that cannot succeed.
An ftrace capture of the affected CPU, with sched_switch enabled and
commit 94894c9c477e ("sched/rt: Skip currently executing CPU in
rto_next_cpu()") applied, shows where the CPU time went. Two SCHED_FIFO
tasks at equal priority shared the CPU, taskA migrate_disable()'d and
queued, taskB as rq->curr. In one 89 ms window, taskB got only 52 ms of
CPU. The other 37 ms went to the stopper thread.
The scheduler kept trying to push taskA, the pinned head of the pushable
list, fell back to pushing taskB instead, and woke the stopper 5204
times. Every one of those pushes failed and no task was moved. taskA
stayed runnable and queued the whole time, and never ran.
Pushing taskB fails on a re-check. find_lock_lowest_rq() drops the rq
lock to take the target rq lock, then checks again with
"task != pick_next_pushable_task(rq)".
The task being pushed is taskB, but the pick returns taskA, the head of
the pushable list. taskB is rq->curr, and set_next_task_rt() removes the
running task from that list, so taskB can never be the head. The check
expects a candidate taken from the pushable list, but the fallback
pushes rq->curr, which is never on that list. So the check fails every
time.

'----------'
repeats every ~17 us, 5204 times, for 89 ms
The loop cannot stop itself. Every round leaves the runqueue
exactly as it was, so the next push-IPI does the same thing. In
the capture it ended only when taskB went to sleep on its own.
taskA was then picked locally and left the pushable list.
CPU time per task in the window, from sched_switch:
taskB 51.95 ms real work
migration/N 37.18 ms nothing moved
taskA 0.00 ms queued the whole time, never picked
idle 0.01 ms
Counts over the same window:
7667 push-IPIs handled on this CPU
17481 pick_next_pushable_task() returned taskA, still pinned
5204 find_lock_lowest_rq() gave up on the re-check
1 push that actually completed
0 migrations of taskA
The CPU times and the window length come from the standard
sched_switch tracepoint. The counts needed tracepoints added inside
the RT balancer for this investigation.
The self-IPI path is closed by the rto_next_cpu() fix above, and that
part works. But the runqueue is still marked overloaded, because the
pinned task is still advertised as pushable. Other CPUs now send the
push-IPIs during their own RT balancing, and the same loop runs again.
Closing the self-IPI path did not stop a pinn

bpf: backtrack_insn(): Handle ld_{abs,ind} subprog exit edge
Nicholas Carlini reported a bug in precision backtracking mechanism
for BPF_LD | BPF_{IND,ABS} instructions. These instructions are
modelled as two branches:
- fallthrough;
- implicit exit from current subprogram.
The implicit exit case was not handled by the backtrack_insn()
function. When backtracking such a path backtrack_insn() did not
call bt_subprog_enter(), which meant that backtracking continued
manipulating precision marks in a caller frame, while looking at
instructions in a callee frame.
This lead to segmentation faults during verification (see the
selftest), or unsound state pruning. |

btrfs: fix the possible bioc_list memory leak during error
There are two possible ways to leak bioc memory on
btrfs_ordered_extent::bioc_list:
- An error occurred for btrfs_insert_one_raid_extent()
Then the function btrfs_insert_raid_extent() immediately return
without freeing any bioc in the bioc_list.
- An ordered extent hit an IO error
In that case the ordered extent will have BTRFS_ORDERED_IOERR set, and
skip the call on btrfs_insert_raid_extent() completely.
Fix the problem by:
- Introduce a new helper, btrfs_cleanup_ordered_bioc_list()
Which will remove all bioc from the bioc_list, and release the bioc.
- Call the above helper for btrfs_insert_raid_extent()
So that the cleanup helper is always called no matter what.
- Call the above helper for btrfs_finish_one_ordered()
This is called just before the final release on the ordered extent.
This was reported by Sashiko when reviewing another patch. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix OOB read in sip_skip_whitespace()
sip_skip_whitespace() returns dptr unchanged when its own loop
exhausts the buffer (dptr == limit), instead of NULL like its sibling
sip_follow_continuation() returns on its own "no more data" path.
ct_sip_get_header() only checks for NULL after calling it:
dptr = sip_skip_whitespace(dptr, limit);
if (dptr == NULL)
break;
if (*dptr != ':' || ++dptr >= limit)
break;
so a recognized header name followed only by spaces/tabs running to
the exact end of the SIP payload, with no colon, makes the very next
statement read one byte past the buffer.
Make both "no more data" outcomes return NULL, matching the
convention sip_follow_continuation() already uses and that both
existing callers already check for. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: Fix potential double-free at error path
The fix for caiaq driver's resource management to handle the errors
tries to release the resources in a common destructor call, but as a
sashiko review for another patch suggested, some of the audio
resources such as URBs have been already freed, and this may lead to a
double-free.
For addressing the double-free, call the common destructor function
from each place, and assure that the resource pointers get cleared. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: avs: Clean up the bus when fetching ML caps fails
snd_hdac_ext_bus_get_ml_capabilities() may fail and its return code
shall be checked and accounted for. Address the issue by updating the
error-path for avs_pci_probe().
At the same time, if the function in question succeeds but the next part
of avs_pci_probe() fails, the hlink list shall be cleaned up before
leaving the scope. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmasp: fix tx_spb_ring_full() checking same slot cnt times
The loop initialised next_index from intf->tx_spb_index on every
iteration, so incr_ring() always produced the same result and only
one slot was ever tested. Move the initialisation before the loop
so each iteration advances next_index and the function correctly
checks that cnt consecutive descriptor slots are available before
allowing a new transmission. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: zero extend the result of an arena 32-bit cmpxchg
bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() rewrites an atomic on an arena pointer from
BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC to BPF_STX | BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC, and it runs before
bpf_opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32().
That pass emits an explicit zero extension for a 32-bit cmpxchg even
when bpf_jit_needs_zext() is false. This is done because on some
architectures 32-bit cmpxchg requires explicit zero extension for the
dst register. E.g. on x86-64 'lock cmpxchg' does not change the %eax
if comparison is successful, while BPF semantics declare that each
operation on a 32-bit register zero extends it's upper half.
is_cmpxchg_insn() matches BPF_MODE == BPF_ATOMIC only, so an arena
cmpxchg misses said zero extension adjustment. This patch adjusts
is_cmpxchg_insn() to match BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC alongside BPF_ATOMIC. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check ancestor frames for rbtree callbacks
bpf_rbtree_add() invokes its comparator while the caller holds the root
lock. The native insertion code retains raw parent and link pointers across
the callback, so the verifier prohibits unlocking, consuming tree nodes,
or changing RCU state from that callback.
in_rbtree_lock_required_cb() only checks the innermost verifier frame.
Static subprogram calls are permitted while holding a spin lock, and such a
call pushes a frame without in_callback_fn set. Consequently, all callback
restrictions disappear in the nested frame. The subprogram can unlock the
tree, remove and drop the node being compared, then relock. Native insertion
resumes with the stale parent pointer and links freed memory into the tree.
Walk all active frames for the rbtree callback instead. Benign static
subprograms remain permitted, while callback restrictions follow execution
into nested frames. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Mark faultable stack helpers as sleepable
The faultable variants of bpf_get_stack() and bpf_get_task_stack() pass
may_fault=true into the common stack collection code. Resolving user-space
build IDs may then call build_id_parse_file() and block on filesystem
reads.
Neither helper prototype sets might_sleep. Since prototype selection uses
the sleepability of the whole program, the verifier can still allow these
helpers from a non-sleepable region within that program, such as an
explicit RCU or preemption-disabled region. The task-stack helper can also
be called from a non-sleepable timer callback of a sleepable program.
Mark both faultable prototypes as sleepable. The existing helper context
check then rejects these calls while continuing to allow them in genuinely
sleepable contexts. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject legacy packet loads from callbacks
check_ld_abs() models a failed BPF_LD_ABS or BPF_LD_IND in a
subprogram as an implicit return with R0 set to zero. It calls
prepare_func_exit() to explore this synthesized path.
When the load is reached directly from a synchronous callback,
prepare_func_exit() enforces the callback return contract and marks R0
precise. R0 is not derived from a real instruction on this path, so
precision backtracking reaches the callback call with R0 still requested
and triggers the "callback unexpected regs" verifier bug. A privileged
program loader can therefore cause a verifier warning and an -EFAULT
BPF_PROG_LOAD.
These legacy packet-load instructions are deprecated. Reject them from
callbacks rather than complicating their implicit-return model. Check all
active frames before constructing the implicit return so nested static
subprograms cannot hide the callback context.
Global functions are verified independently with a fresh frame zero, so
an active-frame check cannot identify a global function called from a
callback. Also check the complete subprogram call graph during stack-depth
validation and reject a function containing a legacy load when any caller
is a callback. This covers global and static descendants without making
has_ld_abs transitive, preserving its per-function BTF return-type check.
Ordinary uses outside callbacks remain supported. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Don't infer non-NULL from a pointer with an unbounded offset
reg_not_null() decides that a register holds a non-NULL value by
looking at its type alone. For pointer types that allow arithmetic the
type only guarantees a non-NULL base, in case of an unbound offset
the runtime offset value might still add up to NULL.
Consider the followng program:
r6 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &0); /* present */
if (r6 == 0) return 0;
r7 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &1); /* absent, NULL at runtime */
r8 = r7;
r8 -= r6; /* pointer - pointer: unknown scalar, -r6 */
r8 <<= 1;
r8 >>= 1; /* any non-negative offset is accepted by */
/* check_reg_sane_offset_ptr() */
r6 += r8; /* verifier: map value; runtime: zero */
if (r7 != r6) return 0;
*(u8 *)(r7 + 0); /* r7 is inferred non-NULL, both are zero */
At runtime both registers are zero, the comparison is true and the
load faults with NULL pointer dereference.
Require the offset to be within +-BPF_MAX_VAR_OFF in reg_not_null(). |
