s390/vfio-ap: Fix NULL deref in status_show() during queue probe
When vfio_ap_mdev_probe_queue() creates the sysfs attribute group,
the queue's driver data has not yet been set. A concurrent read of
the 'status' attribute can therefore call dev_get_drvdata() and
get NULL, which is then passed directly to
vfio_ap_mdev_for_queue() where q->apqn is unconditionally
dereferenced, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by acquiring the update locks before calling
sysfs_create_group(). The status_show() function acquires
guests_lock before reading the driver data, so any concurrent
read will block until after dev_set_drvdata() has been called
and the update locks are released.
As a bonus, the APQN no longer needs to be read from the queue
struct after allocation — it can be read directly from apdev
before allocation and stored in a local variable, which is then
assigned to q->apqn once the allocation succeeds. |

batman-adv: mcast: linearize skbuff for packet generation
batadv_mcast_forw_packet() and batadv_mcast_forw_scrape() is not only
called (indirectly) by the unsharing+linearizing batadv_recv_mcast_packet()
handler. When it is called (indirectly) by batadv_mcast_forw_mcsend() then
it will be unshared but not linearized. The SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT() can
therefore cause a fatal BUG().
The linearization should happen during the expansion of the head because
the scrape function can be hit already during the initial
batadv_mcast_forw_mode() selection code:
* batadv_interface_tx
* batadv_mcast_forw_mode
* batadv_mcast_forw_mode_by_count()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push()
-> calls batadv_mcast_forw_expand_head() before everything else
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_tvlvs()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_dests()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_adjust_padding()
* batadv_mcast_forw_scrape() |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Free init resources if kvm_init() fails
kvm_loongarch_init() calls kvm_loongarch_env_init() to allocate the
per-CPU kvm_context (vmcs) and kvm_loongarch_ops and to register the
perf callbacks, and then calls kvm_init(). If kvm_init() fails its
result is returned directly, but since module_init() does not run the
module_exit() stuff on failure, so kvm_loongarch_env_exit() is never
called and those resources are leaked.
So call kvm_loongarch_env_exit() when kvm_init() fails, matching the
teardown-on-failure pattern used by riscv_kvm_init(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Zero SFP DMA buffer in FRU/I2C bsg handlers
The FRU and I2C bsg handlers stage their transfer in a DMA_POOL_SIZE
(256-byte) bounce buffer obtained from dma_pool_alloc(), which does not
zero the allocation. They initialize only a few leading bytes before
handing the buffer to qla2x00_write_sfp().
qla2x00_write_sfp() can override the transfer length with a user-supplied
value:
if (len == 1)
opt |= BIT_0;
if (opt & BIT_0)
len = *sfp;
*sfp is the first byte of the (user-controlled) payload, so len can grow
up to 255. The device then DMA-reads len bytes from the 256-byte pool
buffer. Since only a small prefix was written
(e.g. MAX_FRU_SIZE == 36 bytes for a FRU version, one byte for a FRU
status register), the hardware reads past the initialized region and
writes up to ~219 bytes of stale DMA-pool heap memory to the device
flash.
Allocate the buffer with dma_pool_zalloc() in all five FRU/I2C handlers
so any bytes beyond the initialized data are zero rather than stale heap
contents. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Bound image count in qla2x00_update_fru_versions()
qla2x00_update_fru_versions() copies the user-supplied BSG request into
a fixed 256-byte stack buffer (bsg[DMA_POOL_SIZE]) and then iterates
list->count times over the qla_image_version array embedded in that
buffer, advancing the image pointer each iteration. count is taken
directly from user input with no upper bound, while only (DMA_POOL_SIZE
- sizeof(list->count)) / sizeof(struct qla_image_version) = 6 entries
actually fit. A larger count walks the image pointer off the end of the
stack buffer, reading adjacent kernel stack memory and sending it to the
device via qla2x00_write_sfp().
Reject requests whose declared count does not fit in the buffer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix FCE trace enable parsing in debugfs
qla2x00_dfs_fce_write() called kstrtoul() with a NULL result pointer,
so a successful parse would dereference NULL and oops. Worse, the int
return value (0 on success, negative errno on failure) was assigned to
the unsigned long enable flag, inverting the intended logic: a valid
number was treated as "disable" while a parse failure enabled FCE.
Parse the value into enable and propagate parse errors to userspace. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: protect critical_task_priority updates with s_umount
The sysfs store path already takes s_umount for GC thread control
entries, and ckpt_thread_ioprio is covered as well.
critical_task_priority also updates checkpoint or GC kthread scheduling
state, but it is not covered by that serialization. It can race with
remount or teardown paths that are stopping those threads.
Protect critical_task_priority sysfs writes with s_umount too. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panel-edp: fix i2c adapter leak on probe failure
Make sure to drop the i2c adapter reference on probe failure (e.g.
probe deferral) and on driver unbind also if a devicetree redundantly
uses the 'ddc-i2c-bus' property to point to the aux ddc bus. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: reject duplicate CREDS_VALUE options
gssx_dec_option_array() walks the wire-supplied option array and, for
every entry whose name matches CREDS_VALUE, calls
gssx_dec_linux_creds() on the same struct svc_cred. That helper
unconditionally installs a fresh groups_alloc() result into
creds->cr_group_info without releasing whatever pointer was already
there:
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
... decode name ...
if (length == sizeof(CREDS_VALUE) &&
memcmp(p, CREDS_VALUE, sizeof(CREDS_VALUE)) == 0) {
err = gssx_dec_linux_creds(xdr, creds);
...
}
}
A reply that carries two CREDS_VALUE entries therefore overwrites
cr_group_info on the second iteration and orphans the group_info
allocated by the first call. The earlier free_creds path only
releases the last cr_group_info via free_svc_cred(), so the first
allocation's refcount stays at one and its kvmalloc-backed storage
is leaked. No in-tree caller of gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall()
expects more than one CREDS_VALUE per reply.
Fix by tracking whether a CREDS_VALUE option has already been
decoded and returning -EINVAL on any subsequent match, so the
free_creds path releases the single group_info that was installed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6_gre: fix hardware header length for NBMA tunnels
ip6gre_tnl_link_config_route() accumulates the lower device's hardware
header length into dev->hard_header_len whenever header_ops is set. This
is incorrect for both users of header_ops.
ip6gretap and ip6erspan have a fixed Ethernet hardware header length.
For an NBMA ip6gre tunnel, ip6gre_header() creates only the GRE header,
the optional FOU or GUE header, and the outer IPv6 header. The lower
device header is headroom needed later, not part of the tunnel device's
hardware header.
Keep the lower device header in needed_headroom. Set hard_header_len to
the tunnel header length only for ARPHRD_IP6GRE devices with header_ops,
and leave the fixed Ethernet header length unchanged for tap and erspan
devices. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: si: Fix NULL pointer dereference after failed registration
try_smi_init() allocates new_smi->si_sm and later calls
ipmi_register_smi_mod(), which maps to ipmi_add_smi().
During ipmi_add_smi(), the upper IPMI message handler obtains the
initial BMC device information through __bmc_get_device_id(). This can
fail if the BMC does not return a successful response to the Get Device
ID command.
When the BMC returns a nonzero completion code, the device-id helper
retries the command and eventually returns -EIO if the device ID still
cannot be fetched.
On this failure path, ipmi_add_smi() logs "Unable to get the device id"
and goes to out_err_started, where it invokes the lower driver's
shutdown callback. try_smi_init() then logs the returned registration
failure:
ipmi_si IPI0001:00: IPMI message handler: Unable to get the device id: -5
ipmi_si IPI0001:00: Unable to register device: error -5
For ipmi_si, the shutdown callback is shutdown_smi(), which cleans up
the SI state machine data, frees smi_info->si_sm, and sets
smi_info->si_sm and smi_info->intf to NULL.
However, intf->in_shutdown is not set on this failed-registration
rollback path. Therefore, the asynchronous redo_bmc_reg work item can
still retry BMC device-id probing after the lower driver has already
cleared its SI state machine data. In the observed case, that retry path
reached start_next_msg(), which passed the NULL smi_info->si_sm pointer
to the selected KCS state machine handler:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000

Set intf->in_shutdown on the out_err_started path before invoking the
lower driver's shutdown callback. This prevents later redo_bmc_reg
retries from using an interface whose lower driver state has been
cleaned up, and applies the same shutdown state to other IPMI interfaces
as well. |

USB: serial: keyspan_pda: fix information leak
The write() callback is supposed to return the number of characters
accepted or a negative errno. Since the addition of write fifo support
the keyspan_pda implementation will however return the number characters
submitted to the device if the write urb is not already in use. If this
number is larger than the number of characters passed to write(), the
line discipline continues writing data from beyond the tty write buffer.
Fix the information leak by making sure that keyspan_pda_write_start()
returns zero on success as intended. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace
On native sparc64, struct __kernel_old_timeval contains a four-byte hole
after tv_usec because tv_sec is 64-bit while __kernel_suseconds_t is 32-bit.
put_itimerval() fills only the named fields in a stack-allocated
__kernel_old_itimerval and copies the entire object to userspace, so
getitimer() can expose the two padding holes.
Zero-initialize the aggregate before assigning the fields so implicit
padding is deterministic before it crosses the user/kernel boundary. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch()
migrate_pages_batch() unmaps each folio before moving it, and every
unmap runs the mmu_notifier invalidate callbacks. On KVM hosts
try_to_migrate() ends up in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
tdp_mmu_zap_leafs(), which is expensive, so unmapping a large batch keeps
the CPU busy for a long time.
The loop already calls cond_resched(), but on PREEMPTION kernels that is
a no-op, and involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent state.
A long batch therefore never reports a quiescent state, and the
migrating task (e.g. kcompactd) becomes a Tasks-RCU holdout, stalling the
Tasks-RCU grace period for minutes, which is common at Meta fleet:
INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:

mm/vmscan: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in shrink_lruvec()
I am seeing some rcu_tasks stalls in the Meta fleet during reclaim.
INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:

handle_mm_fault
Nothing promises direct reclaim returns in bounded time, and the scan loop
in shrink_lruvec() only calls cond_resched(), which is a no-op on
PREEMPTION kernels. Involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent
state, so the reclaiming task never reports one and becomes a holdout.
Upgrade it to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), which reports a quiescent state
even when cond_resched() does nothing.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: memcg: stop reclaim when a limit update is superseded
kernfs serializes file operations only per open file, so separate open
files can update the same memory.high or memory.max file concurrently.
Both handlers store the new limit before synchronous reclaim, but continue
to use the writer's local target in the reclaim loop. If another writer
raises or removes the limit, the first writer can continue reclaiming
toward a stale target.
For memory.max, this can leave the writer looping indefinitely once
reclaim retries are exhausted. The OOM path sees sufficient margin under
the current limit and returns true without killing, while the writer still
compares usage against its stale target and records another OOM event.
Check the current limit at the start of each reclaim iteration and stop if
it no longer matches the writer's target.
Reproducer:
Populate a cgroup with anonymous memory and disable swapping. Lower
memory.max from one open file, then restore it to "max" through another
open file after the new limit becomes visible.
Without the patch, the first writer remains blocked and repeatedly
increments the OOM event counter. With the patch, it returns normally.
This was not motivated by a reported production workload. We found it
through automated randomized testing for our cgroup observability work
and reduced it to the reproducer above. |

Fix the mask calculation. |

tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication
dup_task_struct() copies user_event_mm from the parent into the child,
without grabbing a reference to it. user_event_mm_dup() should
replace it, but it leaves that copied pointer unmodified if
user_event_mm_alloc() fails.
When the child exits, user_event_mm_remove() decrements a reference
the child never owned, which ultimately frees user_event_mm, while
the parent still as a stale pointer to it. This creates a UAF, which
KASAN reports as:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()
event_test_stuff() calls kthread_run() and unconditionally passes the
returned task_struct pointer to kthread_stop(). kthread_run() returns an
error pointer such as ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) when kthread creation fails, for
example under memory pressure during the boot-time event self-test.
kthread_stop() then dereferences the invalid pointer, crashing the kernel.
Check the result of kthread_run() before passing it to kthread_stop(). Use
WARN_ON() so that a failure to create the self-test thread does not go
unnoticed, matching the ring-buffer self-test fix in commit
91542863abad ("ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()"). |
