openvswitch: avoid reallocating confirmed conntrack labels
ovs_ct_get_conn_labels() adds the labels extension when a conntrack
entry does not have one. Confirmed conntracks can be read locklessly,
so adding an extension may reallocate and free the extension block
while another CPU accesses it.
Only add the extension for unconfirmed conntracks. A confirmed
conntrack without labels now fails the caller's label operation instead
of reallocating its extension storage. |

signal: Prevent exec() race
Hyunwoo debugged the following KASAN UAF splat:

begin_new_exec+0xa6b/0x28c0
It turned out that this happens with a non-leader exec() as Hyunwoo
explained:
de_thread() calls exchange_tids() before release_task(leader), so the
struct pid held by a SIGEV_THREAD_ID timer created against the leader's tid
now points to the thread which called execve(). pid_task() returns that
thread and lock_task_sighand() on it succeeds.
If the timer signal is blocked, its sigqueue stays queued on the leader's
task::pending. The next expiry of that timer can then run while
release_task() flushes the queue.
posixtimer_send_sigqueue() checks whether the sigqueue is already queued
with a plain list_empty(), which only reads list_head::next.
list_del_init() is not atomic and INIT_LIST_HEAD() stores list_head::next
before list_head::prev, so the check can pass in between. list_add_tail()
queues the entry on the task::pending of the live thread, and the
list_head::prev store from the flush then overwrites the list_head::prev
link that list_add_tail() has just set.
__flush_itimer_signals() does not undo that either. With list_head::prev
pointing at the entry itself, its list_del_init() only stores the same
values again, so the entry is not removed from the list. It is still there
after the last reference is dropped and the timer is freed by RCU, and the
list_add_tail() of a later tgkill() follows that list_head::prev into the
freed timer.
This problem surfaced with the recent commit which moved the sigqueue flush
out of the sighand lock held region.
Hyonwoo proposed to fix this by using list_del_init_careful(), but that
just papers over the problem. After some disucssions and various attempts
to solve it, Eric pointed out that there is no reason to flush
task::pending late in release_task() and it should be done in
exit_signals() already.
As nothing can collect and deliver signals which are queued in a dying
task's pending queue, there is no reason to delay it further.
But it has to be ensured that no signals can be queued into it after that
point. exit_signals() sets PF_EXITING in task::flags, which can be used as
an indicator for this.
Cure it by:
- Preventing signal queueing for task private signals (PIDTYPE_PID) when
the task has PF_EXITING set in __send_signal_locked() and in
posixtimer_send_sigqueue().
- Protecting the unlocked setting of PF_EXITING in exit_signals() for the
task group empty and the group exit case with sighand lock
- Flushing task::pending signals right there.
Optimize that by moving the whole pending list to an on-stack list head
under sighand lock and free the signals without the lock held.
There has been quite some discussion about the lockless flush and the
non-leader exec case on weakly ordered systems. The problem is that a third
party which tries to send a posix timer signal relies on the PID lookup to
find the target task and that lookup might result in the new leader when
the signal was originaly directed to the old leader. In case that the
signal was queued on the old leader then the lockless flush raised a
concern over the following situation:
old_leader new_leader third party
A: flush_list() // list_del_in

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: avoid socket lock inversion in listener cleanup
rfcomm_sock_cleanup_listen() closes unaccepted child sockets through
rfcomm_sock_close(), which takes the child socket lock before
rfcomm_dlc_close() acquires rfcomm_mutex. The RFCOMM worker takes these
locks in reverse order while handling connections and DLC state changes,
so lockdep reports a possible deadlock.
Close dequeued children without taking their socket lock. The accept queue
owns a reference to each child, and bt_accept_dequeue() locks the child
while unlinking it and clearing its parent pointer.
Dropping the child lock makes it important to prevent a concurrent
rfcomm_connect_ind() from enqueueing a new child after cleanup observes an
empty queue. Set a listening socket to BT_CLOSED while its lock is still
held, before dropping the lock and draining the queue. The state check in
rfcomm_connect_ind() then rejects new children once cleanup starts. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: protect runlist updates with the runlist lock
ntfs_non_resident_attr_shrink() calls runlist helpers that require the
runlist write lock, but did not hold it while freeing clusters and
truncating the runlist. Serialize those operations and the resident
conversion with the runlist lock.
ntfs_attr_map_cluster() can merge a newly allocated run before updating
mapping pairs. If the update fails, free the clusters and restore both
the in-memory runlist and on-disk mapping pairs from a saved runlist.
Mark the volume in error if either rollback step fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: validate absolute native symlink targets before NT fixups
With symlinkroot unset, an absolute target is copied without conversion
to an NT drive path. Later code still assumes an NT prefix is present
when modifying the target and calculating the print name length.
For "/ab", this causes two failures: sym[5] and path[5] are written
past their allocations, and plen -= 2 * poff subtracts an assumed
8-byte prefix from a 6-byte UTF-16 target, wrapping u16 plen to 65534.
That underflow causes another overflow: memcpy() copies 65534 bytes
into a 24-byte buffer. A user with write access to a mounted share
can trigger these bugs with default settings.
Validate the NT drive prefix, including an ASCII drive letter, before
accessing fixed offsets or subtracting the prefix length. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: hold reference on ct until flow is released
nf_ct_put() releases the ct->ext area inmediately, the rcu typesafe
semantics also allow to refer to the wrong conntrack from the flowtable
datapath. Hold reference on ct until flow is released after rcu grace
period.
Add rcu_barrier() on module exit path, to ensure pending flow entries
are release before module goes away. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Bound fragmented header copies by the remaining length
siw_get_hdr() can receive an extended DDP/RDMAP header across more than
one TCP callback. The first callback may receive most of the header,
while the next one still limits the copy to hdrlen - MIN_DDP_HDR instead
of the number of missing bytes. This makes the destination move past the
end of the header and overwrite the receive state, including
fpdu_part_rcvd. A later callback can then use a negative fpdu_part_rcvd
value as a copy offset, which creates an OOB write.
Use the number of header bytes already received when calculating the
next copy length. |

Bluetooth: hci_sync: Serialize local codec list cleanup
hci_dev_close_sync() clears hdev->local_codecs after releasing hdev->lock.
Codec list additions and both traversals in sco_sock_getsockopt() use that
lock, but the close path does not. A close and BT_CODEC query can therefore
interleave as follows:
hci_dev_close_sync() sco_sock_getsockopt()
hci_dev_lock()
fetch codec entry
hci_codec_list_clear()
kfree(entry)
read entry->id
The reader then accesses an entry which the close path has freed. KASAN

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: save input state data before secpath resets
xfrm_input() stores the current xfrm_state in the skb secpath while it
continues receive-side processing. Some input paths can reset that secpath
before xfrm_input() has finished dereferencing the state.
Receive callback users such as VTI and XFRM interfaces can reset the
secpath. The VTI receive path does so before checking whether the packet
crosses network namespaces, while the XFRM interface path does so only for
cross-network-namespace packets. The XFRM_MAX_DEPTH error path can also
reset the secpath before the final drop callback reports the current
state's protocol.
If secpath_reset() drops the last state reference while the state is
concurrently deleted, xfrm_input() can still dereference the freed state
when selecting transport_finish() or reporting the drop callback protocol.
Save the state protocol on the stack while the state is still valid,
and use the already saved address family for transport_finish(). A larval
XFRM_STATE_ACQ state has no type, so retain nexthdr as its protocol. This
preserves the existing drop-path fallback while avoiding the post-reset
state dereferences without adding an extra state reference to every
received packet. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libipw: reject too-short beacon and probe responses
libipw_process_probe_response() and the libipw_network_init() call it
makes assume the frame contains the full 36-byte beacon and probe
response prefix, but the ipw2100 and ipw2200 receive paths only
establish that a management frame carries the generic 24-byte
three-address header.
libipw_network_init() then computes the information element length as
stats->len - sizeof(*beacon)
stats->len is a u16 and sizeof() has type size_t, so the subtraction is
evaluated as size_t and wraps instead of going negative. Truncating
that to the u16 length parameter of libipw_parse_info_param() yields
65524 for a 24-byte beacon, and the parser then walks the receive
buffer as if it held almost 64 KiB of information elements, reading
past the allocation.
Reject the frame before any fixed field is touched.
Found by an AI-assisted review of length arithmetic in management frame
parsers. Verified with a KUnit case under Generic KASAN on arm64 under
QEMU; I do not have the hardware, so it is not tested on a real device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: bound the pairwise-cipher OUI walk to the IE length
mwifiex_search_oui_in_ie() reads a pairwise-cipher (PTK) count from a
beacon/probe-response RSN or WPA information element and then walks that
many 4-byte OUIs, comparing each with memcmp(). The count comes straight
from the (attacker-supplied) IE and is never checked against the
element's own length, and the callers admit the element on element_id
alone (has_ieee_hdr() / has_vendor_hdr(), no length check). A crafted
RSN/WPA IE with a large pairwise count therefore makes the walk read up
to 255 * 4 bytes past the element -- an out-of-bounds read of the
kmemdup()'d beacon buffer, reachable from any AP whose beacon/probe
response is processed during scan-result parsing.
Pass the number of IE bytes available at the OUI list and bound the walk
to the element. Keep the length signed and reject a negative value
before any unsigned arithmetic, so a small or zero IE length cannot
underflow to a large size_t and defeat the bound.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: use copy-on-write RCU updates in ip6_mc_source()
pmc->sflist is read locklessly under rcu_read_lock() by
inet6_mc_check() during packet reception in the UDP and RAW
multicast receive paths.
ip6_mc_source() mutated psl->sl_addr and psl->sl_count in-place
when adding or removing a source filter. Additionally, when expanding
the filter buffer, newpsl was published via rcu_assign_pointer()
before writing the new source into the array.
Because 16-byte struct in6_addr writes are not atomic and array
shifting is not synchronized with RCU readers, concurrent readers in
inet6_mc_check() could read torn IPv6 addresses or observe
duplicated/missed source entries.
Fix this by switching ip6_mc_source() to copy-on-write RCU updates:
allocate and fully populate newpsl before publishing it via
rcu_assign_pointer(), and reclaim the old filter via kfree_rcu(),
matching ip6_mc_msfilter().
Also remove the now unused IP6_SFBLOCK macro. |

clk: scpi: bound-check DVFS index in scpi_dvfs_recalc_rate
dvfs_get_idx() may return an out-of-range index if the SCP firmware is
buggy or returns a stale value. Only negative indexes were rejected, so a
large index walked past info->opps and could treat garbage as a clock rate
(KASAN OOB / wrong frequency to consumers). The missing upper bound dates
back to the original SCPI clock driver.
Treat indexes >= opp count as invalid and return 0, same as idx < 0. |

xfrm: iptfs: fix runt reassembly panic from short inner tot_len
When the start of an inner packet is split across two outer packets
such that fewer than 4 bytes land at the end of the first one,
__input_process_payload() saves those bytes as a runt and skips the
iplen/iphlen validation performed for in-place packets. When the
continuation packet arrives, iptfs_reassem_cont() only requires the
declared inner length to be >= sizeof(ra_runt) (6) before allocating
the reassembly skb with that attacker-controlled length.
However, __iptfs_iphlen() always returns the fixed minimum IP header
size (20 for IPv4, 40 for IPv6), so for an inner IPv4 tot_len in
[6, 19] the header-completion copy writes past the declared packet
length, and the subsequent "ipremain -= copylen" underflows to ~4GB,
leaving the payload copy length bounded only by blkoff (up to 64KB).
At runtime the skb_put() tailroom check turns this into
skb_over_panic(), i.e. an unprivileged kernel panic (DoS), reachable
locally via userns+netns IPTFS SAs and remotely against IPTFS VPN
gateways when the decrypted outer skb is linear (e.g. AF_PACKET taps,
tun/tap delivery).
Align the runt path with the normal path by requiring the declared
inner length to cover at least the IP header size. This also subsumes
the previous >= sizeof(ra_runt) check, since the minimum IP header
is always larger than the runt buffer.
This issue was found by the autokbug dynamic kernel fuzzer at
Tencent Yunding Lab. |

phy: fsl-imx8mq-usb: fix typec switch leak on probe error path
If probe fails after imx95_usb_phy_get_tca() succeeds, the typec
switch leaks because the only cleanup path was in .remove(), which
never runs on probe failure.
Use devm_add_action_or_reset() so the switch is cleaned up on both
probe failure and driver removal. The imx95_usb_phy_put_tca() is no
longer needed, it will be removed in .remove() too. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: ib: use rds_conn_drop() on protocol version mismatch
rds_ib_cm_connect_complete() runs from the RDMA-CM event handler with
conn->c_cm_lock held. When the peer negotiates a protocol version
older than RDS_PROTOCOL_COMPAT_VERSION, the handler calls
rds_conn_destroy(), which is only safe in the rmmod path: it
synchronously tears the connection down and flush_work()es the
shutdown work cp_down_w.
That shutdown work (rds_conn_shutdown()) needs cp_cm_lock, which is
the very lock the event handler still holds, so the flush never
completes: the two workers wait on each other and the RDS connection
workqueues stall for good.
All other RDMA-CM failure paths (REJECTED, CONNECT_ERROR,
DISCONNECTED) use rds_conn_drop(), which marks the connection
RDS_CONN_ERROR and schedules the shutdown work asynchronously. Use
it here as well. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wilc1000: fix out-of-bounds read in P2P public action frames
wilc_wfi_p2p_rx() and mgmt_tx() start parsing a frame once
ieee80211_is_public_action() returns true. That helper only verifies the
frame is long enough for the action category field, that is
offsetofend(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u.action.category), 25 bytes. Both
functions then read the P2P public action header up to oui_subtype at
offset 30 and pass "size - ie_offset" to cfg80211_find_vendor_ie(), where
ie_offset is offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u) + sizeof(*d), i.e. 32.
A public action frame of 25 to 31 bytes passes the check but is shorter
than that 32 byte header, so oui_subtype can be read out of bounds, and
because the length is unsigned, "size - ie_offset" underflows to a value
close to 4 GiB. cfg80211_find_vendor_ie() takes an unsigned int length,
so even the size_t subtraction in mgmt_tx() is truncated to the same
value. It then walks far past the buffer searching for a vendor element
until it reaches unmapped memory.
In the receive path the frame arrives over the air and needs no
association, so a nearby unauthenticated device can crash the host while
it is in P2P listen. Reject frames shorter than the P2P public action
header in both paths before dereferencing it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx4: Fix use-after-free on pkey sysfs registration failure
register_pkey_tree() ignores errors from register_one_pkey_tree() and
continues registering the remaining slaves. The per-slave error path has
already released the pkey parent kobjects, but their pointers remain
stored in the device. A later device cleanup therefore passes the stale
pointers to kobject_put(), causing a use-after-free.
Clear the parent pointers after releasing a failed slave tree and skip
unregistered trees during device cleanup. This preserves the existing
best-effort registration behavior while preventing a second cleanup of
the failed tree. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pppoatm: ensure a writable skb header and linear data
In pppoatm_send(), LLC encapsulation checks whether there is sufficient
headroom for the 4-byte LLC header, but does not ensure that the skb header
is writable.
Normal transmit packets passing through ppp_start_xmit() have their header
unshared via skb_cow_head(). However, packets can also reach pppoatm_send()
via PPP channel bridging (PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN) without going through
ppp_start_xmit().
Use skb_cow_head() to ensure both sufficient headroom and a writable
header before pushing the LLC header.
While at it:
- Call pskb_may_pull(skb, 1) before inspecting skb->data[0] to prevent
out-of-bounds reads on zero-length or non-linear frames (e.g. from
bridging).
- Defer SC_COMP_PROT protocol compression until after pppoatm_may_send()
succeeds. This eliminates the temporary skb allocation on admission failure
and completely removes the fragile "undo" heuristic at the nospace label,
avoiding any risk of reading uninitialized headroom or performing an
unbalanced skb_push(). |
