| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: reject CHID-0 ACCEPT that matches an empty ism_dev slot
On the SMC-D client, slot 0 of ini->ism_dev[]/ini->ism_chid[] is
reserved for an SMC-Dv1 device. smc_find_ism_v2_device_clnt()
populates V2 entries starting at index 1, so when no V1 device is
selected slot 0 is left in its kzalloc()'ed state with ism_dev[0] ==
NULL and ism_chid[0] == 0.
smc_v2_determine_accepted_chid() then matches the peer's CHID against
the array starting from index 0 using the CHID alone. A malicious
peer replying to a SMC-Dv2-only proposal with d1.chid == 0 matches
the empty slot, ini->ism_selected becomes 0, and the subsequent
ism_dev[0]->lgr_lock dereference in smc_conn_create() faults at
offsetof(struct smcd_dev, lgr_lock) == 0x68:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: fix off-by-one in sg_chain entry count for wrapped sk_msg ring
When an sk_msg scatterlist ring wraps (sg.end < sg.start),
tls_push_record() chains the tail portion of the ring to the head
using sg_chain(). An extra entry in the sg array is reserved for
this:
struct sk_msg_sg {
[...]
/* The extra two elements:
* 1) used for chaining the front and sections when the list becomes
* partitioned (e.g. end < start). The crypto APIs require the
* chaining;
* 2) to chain tailer SG entries after the message.
*/
struct scatterlist data[MAX_MSG_FRAGS + 2];
The current code uses MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 as the ring size:
sg_chain(&msg_pl->sg.data[msg_pl->sg.start],
MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_pl->sg.start + 1,
msg_pl->sg.data);
This places the chain pointer at
sg_chain(data[start], (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) .. =
&data[start] + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - msg_start + 1) - 1 =
data[start + (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - start + 1) - 1] =
data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS]
instead of the true last entry. This is likely due to a "race" of
the commit under Fixes landing close to
commit 031097d9e079 ("bpf: sk_msg, zap ingress queue on psock down")
Convert to ARRAY_SIZE and drop the data[start] / - start (as suggested
by Sabrina). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: prevent chain-after-chain in plain text SG
Sashiko points out that if end = 0 (start != 0) the current
code will create a chain link to content type right after
the wrap link:
This would create a chain where the wrap link points directly
to another chain link. The scatterlist API sg_next iterator
does not recursively resolve consecutive chain links.
meaning this is illegal input to crypto.
The wrapping link is unnecessary if end = 0. end is the entry after
the last one used so end = 0 means there's nothing pushed after
the wrap:
end start i
v v v
[ ]...[ ][ d ][ d ][ d ][ d ][rsv for wrap]
Skip the wrapping in this case.
TLS 1.3 can use the "wrapping slot" for it's chaining if end = 0.
This avoids the chain-after-chain.
Move the wrap chaining before marking END and chaining off content
type, that feels like more logical ordering to me, but should not
matter from functional perspective. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: fix TSO segmentation explosion when AMSDU is disabled
When the TLC notification disables AMSDU for a TID, the MLD driver sets
max_tid_amsdu_len to the sentinel value 1. The TSO segmentation path in
iwl_mld_tx_tso_segment() checks for zero but not for this sentinel,
allowing it to reach the num_subframes calculation:
num_subframes = (max_tid_amsdu_len + pad) / (subf_len + pad)
= (1 + 2) / (1534 + 2) = 0
This zero propagates to iwl_tx_tso_segment() which sets:
gso_size = num_subframes * mss = 0
Calling skb_gso_segment() with gso_size=0 creates over 32000 tiny
segments from a single GSO skb. This floods the TX ring with ~1024
micro-frames (the rest are purged), creating a massive burst of TX
completion events that can lead to memory corruption and a subsequent
use-after-free in TCP's retransmit queue (refcount underflow in
tcp_shifted_skb, NULL deref in tcp_rack_detect_loss).
The MVM driver is immune because it checks mvmsta->amsdu_enabled before
reaching the num_subframes calculation. The MLD driver has no equivalent
bitmap check and relies solely on max_tid_amsdu_len, which does not
catch the sentinel value.
Fix this by detecting the sentinel value (max_tid_amsdu_len == 1) at the
existing check and falling back to non-AMSDU TSO segmentation. Also add
a WARN_ON_ONCE guard after the num_subframes division as defense-in-depth
to catch any future code paths that produce zero through a different
mechanism. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup/rstat: validate cpu before css_rstat_cpu() access
css_rstat_updated() is exposed as a BPF kfunc and accepts a
caller-provided cpu argument. The function uses cpu for per-cpu rstat
lookups without checking whether it refers to a valid possible CPU.
A BPF iter/cgroup program with CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON can pass an
invalid cpu value. On an unfixed UBSCAN_BOUNDS test kernel, cpu ==
0x7fffffff triggers:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:31:9

Add cpu validation to the BPF-facing css_rstat_updated() kfunc and
move the common implementation to __css_rstat_updated() for in-kernel
callers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: set tx buffer type for SMD frames
Sashiko pointed out that igc_fpe_init_smd_frame() initializes
igc_tx_buffer fields for an SMD skb, but does not set the buffer type:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260415025226.114115-1-kohei%40enjuk.jp
Since igc_tx_buffer entries are reused, a stale XDP or XSK type can
remain and make TX completion use the wrong cleanup path.
Set the buffer type to IGC_TX_BUFFER_TYPE_SKB. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Fix TOCTOU double-fetch of hwc_msg_id from DMA buffer
In mana_hwc_rx_event_handler(), resp->response.hwc_msg_id is read from
DMA-coherent memory and bounds-checked, then mana_hwc_handle_resp()
re-reads the same field from the same DMA buffer for test_bit() and
pointer arithmetic.
DMA-coherent memory is mapped uncacheable on x86 and is shared,
unencrypted, in Confidential VMs (SEV-SNP/TDX), so each load goes
directly to host-visible memory. A H/W can modify the value
between the check and the use, bypassing the bounds validation.
Fix this by reading hwc_msg_id exactly once using READ_ONCE() into a
stack-local variable in mana_hwc_rx_event_handler(), and passing the
validated value as a parameter to mana_hwc_handle_resp(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bridge: mcast: Fix a possible use-after-free when removing a bridge port
When per-VLAN multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over
all the bridge ports, disables the per-port multicast context on each
port and enables the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts instead. The
reverse happens when per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.
When global multicast snooping is enabled, the bridge iterates over all
the bridge ports and enables the per-port multicast context on each
port. The reverse happens when multicast snooping is disabled.
The above scheme can result in a situation where both types of contexts
(per-port and per-{port, VLAN}) are enabled on a single bridge port:
# ip link add name br1 up type bridge mcast_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1 vlan_filtering 1
# ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 0
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_snooping 1
This is not intended and it is a problem since the commit cited below.
Prior to this commit, when removing a bridge port,
br_multicast_disable_port() would disable the per-port multicast context
and the per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts would get disabled when
flushing VLANs.
After this commit, br_multicast_disable_port() only disables the
per-port multicast context if per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled.
If both types of contexts were enabled on the port when it was removed,
the per-port multicast context would remain enabled when freeing the
bridge port, leading to a use-after-free [1].
Fix by preventing the bridge from enabling / disabling the per-port
multicast contexts when toggling global multicast snooping if per-VLAN
multicast snooping is enabled.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in ieee80211_ml_epcs
IEEE80211_MLE_STA_EPCS_CONTROL_LINK_ID is 0x000f, so link_id extracted
from a PRIO_ACCESS ML element PER_STA_PROFILE subelement can be 0..15.
sdata->link[] has IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15) entries (indices 0..14),
making index 15 out-of-bounds.
A connected WiFi 7 AP can trigger this by sending an EPCS Enable Response
action frame with a PER_STA_PROFILE subelement where link_id = 15. The
unsolicited-notification path (dialog_token = 0) is reachable any time
EPCS is already enabled, without any prior client request.
sdata->link[15] reads into the first word of sdata->activate_links_work
(a wiphy_work whose embedded list_head is non-NULL after INIT_LIST_HEAD),
so the NULL check on the result does not catch the invalid access. The
garbage pointer is then passed to ieee80211_sta_wmm_params(), which
dereferences link->sdata and crashes the kernel.
The same class of bug was fixed for ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration() by
commit 162d331d833d ("wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in
ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: Serialize UMP output teardown with event_input
seq_ump_process_event() borrows client->out_rfile.output without
synchronizing with the first-open and last-close transition in
seq_ump_client_open() and seq_ump_client_close().
The last output unuse can therefore drop opened[STR_OUT] to zero and
release the rawmidi file while an in-flight event_input callback is still
inside snd_rawmidi_kernel_write(). That leaves the rawmidi substream
runtime exposed to teardown before the write path has taken its own
buffer reference.
Add a per-client rwlock for the event_input-visible output file. Publish
a newly opened output file under the write side, and hold the read side
from the output lookup through snd_rawmidi_kernel_write(). The last
output close copies and clears the visible output file under the write
side, then drops the lock and releases the saved rawmidi file. Use
IRQ-safe rwlock guards because event_input can also be reached from
atomic sequencer delivery.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
path A label: event_input path path B label: last unuse path
1. seq_ump_process_event() reads 1. seq_ump_client_close()
client->out_rfile.output. drops opened[STR_OUT] to zero.
2. snd_rawmidi_kernel_write1() 2. snd_rawmidi_kernel_release()
has not yet pinned runtime. closes the output file.
3. The writer continues using 3. close_substream() frees
the borrowed substream. substream->runtime.
This keeps the output substream and runtime alive for the full
event_input write while keeping rawmidi release outside the rwlock.
KASAN reproduced this as a slab-use-after-free in
snd_rawmidi_kernel_write1(), with allocation through
seq_ump_use()/snd_seq_port_connect() and free through
seq_ump_unuse()/snd_seq_port_disconnect().

net: shaper: rework the VALID marking (again)
Recent commit changed the semantics from NOT_VALID to VALID.
I didn't realize that the flags are not stored atomically
with the entry in XArray. There's still a race of reader
observing a VALID mark for a slot, getting interrupted,
writer replacing the entry with a different one, reader
continuing, fetching the entry which is now a different
pointer than the pointer for which VALID was meant.
The biggest consequence of this is that we may see a UAF
since net_shaper_rollback() assumed that entries without
VALID can be freed without observing RCU.
Looks like the XArray marks are buying us nothing at this
point. Let's convert the code to an explicit valid field.
The smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release() barriers are
marginally cleaner. |

rxrpc: Fix DATA decrypt vs splice() by copying data to buffer in recvmsg
This improves the fix for CVE-2026-43500.
Fix the pagecache corruption from in-place decryption of a DATA packet
transmitted locally by splice() by getting rid of the packet sharing in the
I/O thread and unconditionally extracting the packet content into a bounce
buffer in which the buffer is decrypted. recvmsg() (or the kernel
equivalent) then copies the data from the bounce buffer to the destination
buffer. The sk_buff then remains unmodified.
This has an additional advantage in that the packet is then arranged in the
buffer with the correct alignment required for the crypto algorithms to
process directly. The performance of the crypto does seem to be a little
faster and, surprisingly, the unencrypted performance doesn't seem to
change much - possibly due to removing complexity from the I/O thread.
Yet another advantage is that the I/O thread doesn't have to copy packets
which would slow down packet distribution, ACK generation, etc..
The buffer belongs to the call and is allocated initially at 2K,
sufficiently large to hold a whole jumbo subpacket, but the buffer will be
increased in size if needed. However, to take this work, MSG_PEEK may
cause a later packet to be decrypted into the buffer, in which case the
earlier one will need re-decrypting for a subsequent recvmsg().
Note that rx_pkt_offset may legitimately see 0 as a valid offset now, so
switch to using USHRT_MAX to indicate an invalid offset.
Note also that I would generally prefer to replace the buffers of the
current sk_buff with a new kmalloc'd buffer of the right size, ditching the
old data and frags as this makes the handling of MSG_PEEK easier and
removes the re-decryption issue, but this looks like quite a complicated
thing to achieve. skb_morph() looks half way to what I want, but I don't
want to have to allocate a new sk_buff. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, skmsg: fix verdict sk_data_ready racing with ktls rx
sk_psock_strp_data_ready() already checks tls_sw_has_ctx_rx() and
defers to psock->saved_data_ready when a TLS RX context is present,
avoiding a conflict with the TLS strparser's ownership of the receive
queue (commit e91de6afa81c, "bpf: Fix running sk_skb program types
with ktls").
sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() has no equivalent guard. When a socket
is inserted into a sockmap (BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT) before TLS RX is
configured, tls_sw_strparser_arm() saves sk_psock_verdict_data_ready
as rx_ctx->saved_data_ready. On data arrival:
tls_data_ready -> tls_strp_data_ready -> tls_rx_msg_ready
-> saved_data_ready() = sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()
-> tcp_read_skb() drains sk_receive_queue via __skb_unlink()
without calling tcp_eat_skb(), so copied_seq is not advanced.
tls_strp_msg_load() then finds tcp_inq() >= full_len (stale), calls
tcp_recv_skb() on the now-empty queue, hits WARN_ON_ONCE(!first), and
returns with rx_ctx->strp.anchor.frag_list pointing at a psock-owned
(potentially freed) skb. tls_decrypt_sg() subsequently walks that
frag_list: use-after-free.
Apply the same fix as sk_psock_strp_data_ready(): if a TLS RX context
is present, call psock->saved_data_ready (sock_def_readable) to wake
recv() waiters and return immediately, leaving the receive queue
untouched. TLS retains sole ownership of the queue and decrypts the
record normally through tls_sw_recvmsg(). |

tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction
Blamed commit moved the TIME_WAIT-derived ISN from the skb control
block to a per-CPU variable, assuming the value would always be consumed
by tcp_conn_request() for the same packet that wrote it. That assumption
is violated by multiple drop paths between the producer
(__this_cpu_write(tcp_tw_isn, isn) in tcp_v{4,6}_rcv()) and the consumer
(tcp_conn_request()):
- min_ttl / min_hopcount check
- xfrm policy check
- tcp_inbound_hash() MD5/AO mismatch
- tcp_filter() eBPF/SO_ATTACH_FILTER drop
- th->syn && th->fin discard in tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_LISTEN
- psp_sk_rx_policy_check() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
- tcp_checksum_complete() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
- tcp_v{4,6}_cookie_check() returning NULL
When a packet is dropped on any of these paths, tcp_tw_isn is left set.
The next SYN processed on the same CPU then consumes the non zero value in
tcp_conn_request(), receiving a potentially predictable ISN.
This patch moves back tcp_tw_isn to skb->cb[], getting rid of the per-cpu
variable.
Note that tcp_v{4,6}_fill_cb() do not set it.

blk-mq: pop cached request if it is usable
When submitting a bio to blk-mq, if the task should sleep after peeking
a cached request, but before it pops it, the plug flushes and calls
blk_mq_free_plug_rqs, freeing the cached_rqs. This creates a
use-after-free bug. Fix this by popping the cached request before any
possible blocking calls if it is suitable for use.
Popping this request first holds a queue reference, so avoid any
serialization races with queue freezes and can safely proceed with
dispatching that request to the driver. This potentially increases a
timing window from when a driver wants to freeze its queue to when
requests stop being dispatched. That scenario is off the fast path
though, and drivers need to appropriately handle requests during a
freeze request anyway.
The downside is the popped element needs to be individually freed when
we performed a bio plug merge. The cached request would have had to be
freed later anyway, but this patch does it inline with building the plug
list instead of after flushing it. |

security/keys: fix missed RCU read section on lookup
Nicholas Carlini reports that the keyring code calls assoc_array_find()
in find_key_to_update() without holding the RCU read lock, while the
assoc_array_gc() code really is designed around removing the node from
the tree and then freeing it after an RCU grace-period.
The regular key handling doesn't see this because holding the keyring
semaphore hides any lifetime issues, but the persistent key handling
uses a different model.
Instead of extending the keyring locking, just do the simple RCU locking
that the assoc_array was designed for. |

xfrm: Check for underflow in xfrm_state_mtu
Leo Lin reported OOB write issue in esp component:
xfrm_state_mtu() returns u32 but performs its arithmetic in unsigned
modulo-2^32 space using an attacker-influenced "header_len + authsize +
net_adj" subtracted from a small "mtu" argument. A nobody user can
install an IPv4 ESP tunnel SA with a large authentication key
(XFRMA_ALG_AUTH_TRUNC, e.g. hmac(sha512), 64-byte key, 64-byte trunc),
configure a small interface MTU (68 bytes), and set XFRMA_TFCPAD to a
large value. When a single UDP datagram is then sent through the
tunnel, xfrm_state_mtu() underflows to a near-2^32 value, and
esp_output() consumes it as a signed int via:
padto = min(x->tfcpad, xfrm_state_mtu(x, mtu_cached))
esp.tfclen = padto - skb->len (assigned to int)
esp.tfclen ends up negative (e.g. -207). It is sign-extended to size_t
when passed to memset() inside esp_output_fill_trailer(), producing a
~16 EB write of zeroes at skb_tail_pointer(skb). KASAN logs it as
"Write of size 18446744073709551537 at addr ffff888...".
Check for underflow and return 1. This causes the sendmsg attempt to

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: synproxy: refresh tcphdr after skb_ensure_writable
synproxy_tstamp_adjust() rewrites the TCP timestamp option in place
and then patches the TCP checksum via inet_proto_csum_replace4() on
the caller-supplied tcphdr pointer. Both ipv4_synproxy_hook() and
ipv6_synproxy_hook() obtain that pointer with skb_header_pointer()
before calling in, so it may either alias skb->head directly or
point at the caller's on-stack _tcph buffer.
Between obtaining the pointer and using it, the function calls
skb_ensure_writable(skb, optend), which on a cloned or non-linear
skb invokes pskb_expand_head() and frees the old skb->head. After
that point the cached th is stale:
caller (ipv[46]_synproxy_hook)
th = skb_header_pointer(skb, ..., &_tcph)
synproxy_tstamp_adjust(skb, protoff, th, ...)
skb_ensure_writable(skb, optend)
pskb_expand_head() /* kfree(old skb->head) */
...
inet_proto_csum_replace4(&th->check, ...)
/* writes into freed head, or
into the caller's stack copy
leaving the on-wire checksum

The option bytes are written through skb->data and are fine; only
the checksum update goes through th and so lands in the wrong
place. The result is either a write into freed slab memory or a
packet leaving with a checksum that does not match its payload.
Fix by re-deriving th from skb->data + protoff immediately after
skb_ensure_writable() succeeds, so the subsequent checksum update
targets the linear, writable header. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: Do not re-initialize smc hashtables
INIT_HLIST_HEAD(&smc_v*_hashinfo.ht) are called after smc_nl_init(),
proto_register() and sock_register(). This can lead to smc_v*_hashinfo.ht
being reset even though hash entries already exist and are being used,
possibly resulting in a corrupted list.
Remove unnecessary and dangerous re-initialisation of smc_v*_hashinfo.ht in
smc_init(); it is implicitly initialised to zero anyhow. Add
HLIST_HEAD_INIT to the definitions for clarity. |
