| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: powermate - fix use-after-free in powermate_config_complete
syzbot has found a use-after-free bug [1] in the powermate driver. This
happens when the device is disconnected, which leads to a memory free from
the powermate_device struct. When an asynchronous control message
completes after the kfree and its callback is invoked, the lock does not
exist anymore and hence the bug.
Use usb_kill_urb() on pm->config to cancel any in-progress requests upon
device disconnection.

gfs2: Set .migrate_folio in gfs2_{rgrp,meta}_aops
Clears up the warning added in 7ee3647243e5 ("migrate: Remove call to

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix deadlock between rcu_tasks_trace and event_mutex.
Fix the following deadlock:
CPU A
_free_event()
perf_kprobe_destroy()
mutex_lock(&event_mutex)
perf_trace_event_unreg()
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace()
There are several paths where _free_event() grabs event_mutex
and calls sync_rcu_tasks_trace. Above is one such case.
CPU B
bpf_prog_test_run_syscall()
rcu_read_lock_trace()
bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu()
bpf_prog_load()
bpf_tracing_func_proto()
trace_set_clr_event()
mutex_lock(&event_mutex)
Delegate trace_set_clr_event() to workqueue to avoid
such lock dependency. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix WARN_ON(!ctx) in __free_event() for partial init
Move the get_ctx(child_ctx) call and the child_event->ctx assignment to
occur immediately after the child event is allocated. Ensure that
child_event->ctx is non-NULL before any subsequent error path within
inherit_event calls free_event(), satisfying the assumptions of the
cleanup code.
Details:
There's no clear Fixes tag, because this bug is a side-effect of
multiple interacting commits over time (up to 15 years old), not
a single regression.
The code initially incremented refcount then assigned context
immediately after the child_event was created. Later, an early
validity check for child_event was added before the
refcount/assignment. Even later, a WARN_ON_ONCE() cleanup check was
added, assuming event->ctx is valid if the pmu_ctx is valid.
The problem is that the WARN_ON_ONCE() could trigger after the initial
check passed but before child_event->ctx was assigned, violating its
precondition. The solution is to assign child_event->ctx right after
its initial validation. This ensures the context exists for any
subsequent checks or cleanup routines, resolving the WARN_ON_ONCE().
To resolve it, defer the refcount update and child_event->ctx assignment
directly after child_event->pmu_ctx is set but before checking if the
parent event is orphaned. The cleanup routine depends on
event->pmu_ctx being non-NULL before it verifies event->ctx is
non-NULL. This also maintains the author's original intent of passing
in child_ctx to find_get_pmu_context before its refcount/assignment.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: check that dummy regulator has been probed before using it
Due to asynchronous driver probing there is a chance that the dummy
regulator hasn't already been probed when first accessing it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: ignore non-functional sensor in HP 5MP Camera
The HP 5MP Camera (USB ID 0408:5473) reports a HID sensor interface that
is not actually implemented. Attempting to access this non-functional
sensor via iio_info causes system hangs as runtime PM tries to wake up
an unresponsive sensor.
[453] hid-sensor-hub 0003:0408:5473.0003: Report latency attributes: ffffffff:ffffffff
[453] hid-sensor-hub 0003:0408:5473.0003: common attributes: 5:1, 2:1, 3:1 ffffffff:ffffffff
Add this device to the HID ignore list since the sensor interface is
non-functional by design and should not be exposed to userspace. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: host: ohci-tmio: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: usbhid: fix info leak in hid_submit_ctrl
In hid_submit_ctrl(), the way of calculating the report length doesn't
take into account that report->size can be zero. When running the
syzkaller reproducer, a report of size 0 causes hid_submit_ctrl) to
calculate transfer_buffer_length as 16384. When this urb is passed to
the usb core layer, KMSAN reports an info leak of 16384 bytes.
To fix this, first modify hid_report_len() to account for the zero
report size case by using DIV_ROUND_UP for the division. Then, call it
from hid_submit_ctrl(). |

ACPICA: fix acpi operand cache leak in dswstate.c
ACPICA commit 987a3b5cf7175916e2a4b6ea5b8e70f830dfe732
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_
delete() function miscalculated the top of the stack. acpi_ds_obj_stack_push()
function uses walk_state->operand_index for start position of the top, but
acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_delete() function considers index 0 for it.
Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak. |

I analyzed this memory leak in detail. I found that “Acpi-State” cache and
“Acpi-Parse” cache were merged because the size of cache objects was same
slab cache size.
I finally found “Acpi-Parse” cache and “Acpi-parse_ext” cache were leaked
using SLAB_NEVER_MERGE flag in kmem_cache_create() function.
Real ACPI cache leak point is as follows:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: pata_via: Force PIO for ATAPI devices on VT6415/VT6330
The controller has a hardware bug that can hard hang the system when
doing ATAPI DMAs without any trace of what happened. Depending on the
device attached, it can also prevent the system from booting.
In this case, the system hangs when reading the ATIP from optical media
with cdrecord -vvv -atip on an _NEC DVD_RW ND-4571A 1-01 and an
Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200A 1.06 attached to an ASRock 990FX Extreme 4,
running at UDMA/33.
The issue can be reproduced by running the same command with a cygwin
build of cdrecord on WinXP, although it requires more attempts to cause
it. The hang in that case is also resolved by forcing PIO. It doesn't
appear that VIA has produced any drivers for that OS, thus no known
workaround exists.
HDDs attached to the controller do not suffer from any DMA issues. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: exit after state insertion failure at btrfs_convert_extent_bit()
If insert_state() state failed it returns an error pointer and we call
extent_io_tree_panic() which will trigger a BUG() call. However if
CONFIG_BUG is disabled, which is an uncommon and exotic scenario, then
we fallthrough and call cache_state() which will dereference the error
pointer, resulting in an invalid memory access.
So jump to the 'out' label after calling extent_io_tree_panic(), it also
makes the code more clear besides dealing with the exotic scenario where
CONFIG_BUG is disabled. |
