| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: increase scan_ies_len for S1G
Currently the S1G capability element is not taken into account
for the scan_ies_len, which leads to a buffer length validation
failure in ieee80211_prep_hw_scan() and subsequent WARN in
__ieee80211_start_scan(). This prevents hw scanning from functioning.
To fix ensure we accommodate for the S1G capability length. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix smbdirect_recv_io leak in smbd_negotiate() error path
During tests of another unrelated patch I was able to trigger this
error: Objects remaining on __kmem_cache_shutdown() |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: avoid accessing metadata when pointer is invalid in object_err()
object_err() reports details of an object for further debugging, such as
the freelist pointer, redzone, etc. However, if the pointer is invalid,
attempting to access object metadata can lead to a crash since it does
not point to a valid object.
One known path to the crash is when alloc_consistency_checks()
determines the pointer to the allocated object is invalid because of a
freelist corruption, and calls object_err() to report it. The debug code
should report and handle the corruption gracefully and not crash in the
process.
In case the pointer is NULL or check_valid_pointer() returns false for
the pointer, only print the pointer value and skip accessing metadata. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Correct tid cleanup when tid setup fails
Currently, if any error occurs during ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_setup(),
the tid value is already incremented, even though the corresponding
TID is not actually allocated. Proceed to
ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_delete() starting from unallocated tid,
which might leads to freeing unallocated TID and cause potential
crash or out-of-bounds access.
Hence, fix by correctly decrementing tid before cleanup to match only
the successfully allocated TIDs.
Also, remove tid-- from failure case of ath12k_dp_rx_peer_frag_setup(),
as decrementing the tid before cleanup in loop will take care of this.
Compile tested only. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/vm: Clear the scratch_pt pointer on error
Avoid triggering a dereference of an error pointer on cleanup in
xe_vm_free_scratch() by clearing any scratch_pt error pointer.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-fc: move lsop put work to nvmet_fc_ls_req_op
It’s possible for more than one async command to be in flight from
__nvmet_fc_send_ls_req. For each command, a tgtport reference is taken.
In the current code, only one put work item is queued at a time, which
results in a leaked reference.
To fix this, move the work item to the nvmet_fc_ls_req_op struct, which
already tracks all resources related to the command. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/debug_vm_pgtable: clear page table entries at destroy_args()
The mm/debug_vm_pagetable test allocates manually page table entries for
the tests it runs, using also its manually allocated mm_struct. That in
itself is ok, but when it exits, at destroy_args() it fails to clear those
entries with the *_clear functions.
The problem is that leaves stale entries. If another process allocates an
mm_struct with a pgd at the same address, it may end up running into the
stale entry. This is happening in practice on a debug kernel with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y, for example this is the output with some extra
debugging I added (it prints a warning trace if pgtables_bytes goes
negative, in addition to the warning at check_mm() function):

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Skip fastpath emulation on VM-Exit if next RIP isn't valid
Skip the WRMSR and HLT fastpaths in SVM's VM-Exit handler if the next RIP
isn't valid, e.g. because KVM is running with nrips=false. SVM must
decode and emulate to skip the instruction if the CPU doesn't provide the
next RIP, and getting the instruction bytes to decode requires reading
guest memory. Reading guest memory through the emulator can fault, i.e.
can sleep, which is disallowed since the fastpath handlers run with IRQs
disabled.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernel/sys.c: fix the racy usage of task_lock(tsk->group_leader) in sys_prlimit64() paths
The usage of task_lock(tsk->group_leader) in sys_prlimit64()->do_prlimit()
path is very broken.
sys_prlimit64() does get_task_struct(tsk) but this only protects task_struct
itself. If tsk != current and tsk is not a leader, this process can exit/exec
and task_lock(tsk->group_leader) may use the already freed task_struct.
Another problem is that sys_prlimit64() can race with mt-exec which changes
->group_leader. In this case do_prlimit() may take the wrong lock, or (worse)
->group_leader may change between task_lock() and task_unlock().
Change sys_prlimit64() to take tasklist_lock when necessary. This is not
nice, but I don't see a better fix for -stable. |

net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth
Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev->needed_headroom, too.
While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in

ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling.
Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version.

xsk: Harden userspace-supplied xdp_desc validation
Turned out certain clearly invalid values passed in xdp_desc from
userspace can pass xp_{,un}aligned_validate_desc() and then lead
to UBs or just invalid frames to be queued for xmit.
desc->len close to ``U32_MAX`` with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len
can cause positive integer overflow and wraparound, the same way low
enough desc->addr with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len can cause
negative integer overflow. Both scenarios can then pass the
validation successfully.
This doesn't happen with valid XSk applications, but can be used
to perform attacks.
Always promote desc->len to ``u64`` first to exclude positive
overflows of it. Use explicit check_{add,sub}_overflow() when
validating desc->addr (which is ``u64`` already).
bloat-o-meter reports a little growth of the code size:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix race in do_task() when draining
When do_task() exhausts its iteration budget (!ret), it sets the state
to TASK_STATE_IDLE to reschedule, without a secondary check on the
current task->state. This can overwrite the TASK_STATE_DRAINING state
set by a concurrent call to rxe_cleanup_task() or rxe_disable_task().
While state changes are protected by a spinlock, both rxe_cleanup_task()
and rxe_disable_task() release the lock while waiting for the task to
finish draining in the while(!is_done(task)) loop. The race occurs if
do_task() hits its iteration limit and acquires the lock in this window.
The cleanup logic may then proceed while the task incorrectly
reschedules itself, leading to a potential use-after-free.
This bug was introduced during the migration from tasklets to workqueues,
where the special handling for the draining case was lost.
Fix this by restoring the original pre-migration behavior. If the state is
TASK_STATE_DRAINING when iterations are exhausted, set cont to 1 to
force a new loop iteration. This allows the task to finish its work, so
that a subsequent iteration can reach the switch statement and correctly
transition the state to TASK_STATE_DRAINED, stopping the task as intended. |

the mask bit may be set when it is supposed to be clear, and the
user-mode driver will miss an interrupt which will cause a hang.
For eg- when the driver sets inbound ring buffer interrupt mask to 1,
the host does not interrupt the guest on the UIO VMBus channel.
However, setting the mask does not prevent the host from putting a
message in the inbound ring buffer. So let’s assume that happens,
the host puts a message into the ring buffer but does not interrupt.
Subsequently, the user space code in the guest sets the inbound ring
buffer interrupt mask to 0, saying “Hey, I’m ready for interrupts”.
User space code then calls pread() to wait for an interrupt.
Then one of two things happens:
* The host never sends another message. So the pread() waits forever.
* The host does send another message. But because there’s already a
message in the ring buffer, it doesn’t generate an interrupt.
This is the correct behavior, because the host should only send an
interrupt when the inbound ring buffer transitions from empty to
not-empty. Adding an additional message to a ring buffer that is not
empty is not supposed to generate an interrupt on the guest.
Since the guest is waiting in pread() and not removing messages from
the ring buffer, the pread() waits forever.
This could be easily reproduced in hv_fcopy_uio_daemon if we delay
setting interrupt mask to 0.
Similarly if hv_uio_channel_cb() sets the interrupt_mask to 1,
there’s a race condition. Once user space empties the inbound ring
buffer, but before user space sets interrupt_mask to 0, the host could
put another message in the ring buffer but it wouldn’t interrupt.
Then the next pread() would hang.
Fix these by removing all instances where interrupt_mask is changed,
while keeping the one in set_event() unchanged to enable userspace
control the interrupt mask by writing 0/1 to /dev/uioX. |

i40e: add validation for ring_len param
The `ring_len` parameter provided by the virtual function (VF)
is assigned directly to the hardware memory context (HMC) without
any validation.
To address this, introduce an upper boundary check for both Tx and Rx
queue lengths. The maximum number of descriptors supported by the
hardware is 8k-32.
Additionally, enforce alignment constraints: Tx rings must be a multiple
of 8, and Rx rings must be a multiple of 32. |

io_uring: fix incorrect io_kiocb reference in io_link_skb
In io_link_skb function, there is a bug where prev_notif is incorrectly
assigned using 'nd' instead of 'prev_nd'. This causes the context
validation check to compare the current notification with itself instead
of comparing it with the previous notification.
Fix by using the correct prev_nd parameter when obtaining prev_notif. |

iommu/amd/pgtbl: Fix possible race while increase page table level
The AMD IOMMU host page table implementation supports dynamic page table levels
(up to 6 levels), starting with a 3-level configuration that expands based on
IOVA address. The kernel maintains a root pointer and current page table level
to enable proper page table walks in alloc_pte()/fetch_pte() operations.
The IOMMU IOVA allocator initially starts with 32-bit address and onces its
exhuasted it switches to 64-bit address (max address is determined based
on IOMMU and device DMA capability). To support larger IOVA, AMD IOMMU
driver increases page table level.
But in unmap path (iommu_v1_unmap_pages()), fetch_pte() reads
pgtable->[root/mode] without lock. So its possible that in exteme corner case,
when increase_address_space() is updating pgtable->[root/mode], fetch_pte()
reads wrong page table level (pgtable->mode). It does compare the value with
level encoded in page table and returns NULL. This will result is
iommu_unmap ops to fail and upper layer may retry/log WARN_ON.
CPU 0 CPU 1
------ ------
map pages unmap pages
alloc_pte() -> increase_address_space() iommu_v1_unmap_pages() -> fetch_pte()
pgtable->root = pte (new root value)
READ pgtable->[mode/root]
Reads new root, old mode
Updates mode (pgtable->mode += 1)
Since Page table level updates are infrequent and already synchronized with a
spinlock, implement seqcount to enable lock-free read operations on the read path. |
