tipc: avoid busy looping in tipc_exit_net()
Blamed commit introduced a busy-wait loop in tipc_exit_net()
to wait for pending UDP bearer cleanup works to complete:
while (atomic_read(&tn->wq_count))
cond_resched();
This loop can busy-wait for a long time if cond_resched() is a NOP. This
typically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task,
or under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In
such cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups.
Fix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(), allowing the
thread to sleep properly until the work queue count reaches zero.
Accordingly, update cleanup_bearer() to use atomic_dec_and_test() and
wake_up_var() to wake up the waiter when the count drops to zero.
This uses the global wait queue hash table, avoiding the need to bloat
struct tipc_net with a wait_queue_head_t. The atomic_dec_and_test()
provides the necessary memory barrier to ensure the wakeup is not missed. |

RDMA/rxe: Fix responder UAF on IB_QP_MAX_DEST_RD_ATOMIC modify_qp
rxe_qp_from_attr() handles IB_QP_MAX_DEST_RD_ATOMIC outside the
IB_QP_STATE path, so it holds no state_lock and runs while the responder
task rxe_receiver() (recv_task on rxe_wq) is live. A modify_qp() setting
only that attribute calls free_rd_atomic_resources() then
alloc_rd_atomic_resources(), swapping qp->resp.resources[] while
rxe_prepare_res()/find_resource() walk it; free_rd_atomic_resources()
also leaves the cached pointer qp->resp.res dangling. A local
unprivileged user can race the free/realloc into a use-after-free in
rxe_receiver() (local DoS).
Drain recv_task around the swap with rxe_disable_task()/rxe_enable_task(),
as rxe_qp_reset() already does when tearing this array down, re-enabling
only after alloc_rd_atomic_resources() succeeds so the responder never
resumes against a NULL qp->resp.resources on the ENOMEM path. Also clear
qp->resp.res in free_rd_atomic_resources(), like the rxe_resp.c
completion paths.
Reproduced under KASAN; the slab-use-after-free in rxe_receiver() is gone. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: bail out of setup if the controller is inaccessible
xhci_gen_setup() locates the operational registers using the capability
length read from the very first register:
xhci->op_regs = hcd->regs +
HC_LENGTH(readl(&xhci->cap_regs->hc_capbase));
If the controller is dead or has dropped off the bus, that read returns
~0, HC_LENGTH() truncates it to 0xff, and op_regs ends up 0xff bytes
past the page-aligned MMIO base, i.e. unaligned. The first access
through it, xhci_halt() -> xhci_handshake() reading op_regs->status, is
then an unaligned readl() on device memory. arm64 faults on unaligned
device accesses, so instead of xhci_handshake() catching the all-ones
value and returning -ENODEV, setup oopses:
xhci-pci-renesas 0005:08:00.0: Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0, device inaccessible
xhci-pci-renesas 0005:08:00.0: xHCI Host Controller

This was hit with a Renesas uPD720201 that failed to power up ("Unable
to change power state from D3cold to D0, device inaccessible") yet still
reached the HCD probe path.
Read the capability register once, and if it reads back the all-ones
value (as xhci_handshake() and xhci_reset() already test for), abort
setup with -ENODEV before op_regs is derived from it. Reading it once
also avoids re-reading a register that may change under a concurrent
hot-removal. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: fix invalidate lock leak on setattr writeback failure
fuse_do_setattr() takes filemap_invalidate_lock() for a DAX truncate
(fault_blocked = true) and releases it at the out:/error: labels. But
when a writeback flush is also needed, a write_inode_now() failure
returns directly and leaks the lock, so any later fault or truncate on
the file stalls on the stale rwsem.
For example, truncate(2) on a setuid file reaches fuse_do_setattr()
with both ATTR_SIZE and ATTR_MODE set:
truncate(2)
└─ do_truncate()
├─ dentry_needs_remove_privs() # S_ISUID
└─ notify_change() # KILL_SUID -> ATTR_MODE
└─ fuse_setattr() # no killpriv:
│ # ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
└─ fuse_do_setattr()
├─ filemap_invalidate_lock() # IS_DAX && is_truncate
└─ write_inode_now() # is_wb && ATTR_MODE
└─ if (err) # e.g. daemon -> -EIO
return err # <- lock leaked
Fix this by adding an unlock label that releases the lock before
returning the error, and use it for the fuse_dax_break_layouts()
failure path as well. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: fix invalidate lock leak on open O_TRUNC DAX failure
fuse_open() takes filemap_invalidate_lock() for a DAX truncate
(dax_truncate = true) and releases it before the out_inode_unlock
label. But when fuse_dax_break_layouts() fails, the goto
out_inode_unlock skips the unlock and leaks the rwsem, so any later
fault or truncate on the file stalls on the stale lock.
fuse_dax_break_layouts() can fail with -ERESTARTSYS when a signal
interrupts the wait for busy DAX pages to drain:
open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC)
└─ fuse_open()
├─ filemap_invalidate_lock() # dax_truncate
└─ fuse_dax_break_layouts()
└─ dax_break_layout()
└─ wait_page_idle() # TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
└─ fuse_wait_dax_page() # unlock, schedule, re-lock
└─ signal → -ERESTARTSYS
goto out_inode_unlock # <- lock leaked
Fix this by moving filemap_invalidate_unlock() below the label so
that all error paths release the lock, and rename the label to
out_unlock as it now covers more than just the inode lock. |

tls: device: fix out-of-bounds write in tls_append_frag()
Found with syzkaller and a local syzbot instance running on top of a
netdevsim TLS offload emulation; tls_device.c is otherwise only reachable
on a machine with a NIC that implements the offload.
tls_push_data() only checks whether the open record still has room for
another frag at the bottom of its loop, and the MSG_MORE early break
skips that check. The record survives to the next syscall with the frag
count it already had, and tls_append_frag() does not check either, so
with TLS_TX_ZEROCOPY_RO every splice(SPLICE_F_MORE) of a byte or two adds
a non-coalescing pipe page and num_frags walks off the end of
tls_record_info.frags[MAX_SKB_FRAGS]. Once the record is pushed,
tls_push_record() runs the same index over sg_tx_data[MAX_SKB_FRAGS] and
the sg_set_page() writes land on the destruct_work that follows it, which
the workqueue then calls.
The byte limit is fine because copy drops to 0 and the loop falls through
to the same check; the frag count has no such feedback.
Push the record rather than keep a full one open, which is what a plain
TCP socket does - tcp_sendmsg_locked() uses tcp_mark_push() and
new_segment in both the copy and the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES paths, and tls_sw
already sets full_record when the sk_msg ring fills up, MSG_MORE or not.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gtp: serialize PDP context updates
PDP contexts can be deleted through GTP_CMD_DELPDP or while the GTP
network device is being unregistered. The latter is serialized by RTNL,
but the generic-netlink delete path only holds RCU.
Running both paths concurrently can therefore make both paths delete the
same PDP context. The issue was found through static analysis and
reproduced on a KASAN-enabled kernel by a simple two-thread program
racing GTP_CMD_DELPDP against RTM_DELLINK:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range

RIP: gtp_genl_del_pdp+0x1c1/0x420 [gtp]
RBP: dead000000000122
The second deletion dereferenced the poisoned hlist pprev pointer.
Serialize gtp_pdp_add(), gtp_genl_del_pdp(), and gtp_dellink() with a
shared mutex. Keep the mutex held until the final use of a PDP context in
the NEWPDP path, and keep the RCU read-side section around the complete
PDP context use in the DELPDP path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: clamp route advmss to TCP_MIN_MSS
tcp_select_initial_window() assumes that callers never pass an MSS
smaller than 1, but route-derived advmss values can violate that
assumption.
A too-small explicit RTAX_ADVMSS is one way to get there, but it is not
the only one. The same divide-by-zero can also be reached through the
"default advmss" path when RTAX_ADVMSS is left at 0 and the effective
advmss is later driven down by route MTU and min_adv_mss.
Introduce a tcp_dst_advmss() helper that clamps route advmss to
TCP_MIN_MSS before TCP consumes it, and use it in the TCP paths that
derive advmss from dst metrics. This keeps the effective MSS from
dropping to zero before tcp_select_initial_window() rounds the receive
window. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/packet: defer vmalloc TX_RING free until skbs finish
AF_PACKET TX_RING skbs keep a raw pointer to their ring frame. The skb
page references preserve page-backed ring blocks after pg_vec is freed,
but they do not preserve a vmalloc mapping.
tpacket_destruct_skb() currently drops the pending reference before
writing the timestamp and TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE to the frame. Move the
decrement after those stores. The smp_wmb() in __packet_set_status()
orders the frame stores before the decrement.
Also recheck pending TX frames under pg_vec_lock before non-closing
ring replacement, so a racing send cannot add a pending skb between
the initial check and the ring swap.
Ring allocation can produce a mixture of page-backed and vmalloc-backed
blocks. Allocate deferred-work storage during TX ring setup when the
first vmalloc-backed block is encountered, and keep its pointer in the
pg_vec allocation header. If allocation fails, return -ENOMEM from ring
setup. On socket close, a non-NULL pointer identifies a vmalloc-backed
vector without a scan. If TX skbs remain, defer the whole vector to
system_long_wq.
After pg_vec is detached, a late destructor can skip the pending
decrement. Use socket write-memory accounting as the deferred lifetime
gate instead: an skb remains charged through its final sock_wfree(),
after all ring-frame accesses. The delayed work retains a socket
reference and reschedules itself until no TX skbs remain.
Move pending_refcnt release to packet_sock_destruct() so late skb
destructors and deferred cleanup can safely use it after
packet_release(). Page-backed teardown remains synchronous, and no lock
is added to the TX completion hot path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: don't queue packet path object notifications
All file:line references below are against v7.2-rc4 (ac5b0e5651b1). The
trace was captured on 7.2.0-rc6-kasan72rc6 (075b74841bd0), where the same
lines apply.
nft_obj_notify() is exported and reached from the packet path. Its only
in-tree caller is nft_quota_obj_eval() (net/netfilter/nft_quota.c:68),
which notifies with GFP_ATOMIC while evaluating a rule for a transiting
packet, holding no mutex.
Since commit 67cc570edaa0 ("netfilter: nf_tables: coalesce multiple
notifications into one skbuff") that notification is no longer sent
immediately. __nft_obj_notify() queues it onto nft_net->notify_list via
nft_notify_enqueue() (net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:1211), which is a bare
list_add_tail(). notify_list has no lock of its own
(include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1951), it is serialised by commit_mutex:
the six other enqueue sites all run inside a netlink transaction, and the
drain in nft_commit_notify() (net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:10746) does
list_del() + kfree_skb() from nf_tables_commit() with commit_mutex held.
Sending packets through a chain that references a depleted quota object
therefore races an unlocked list_add_tail() against list_del() +
kfree_skb() on another CPU. The WRITE_ONCE(prev->next, new) in __list_add()
then stores through an sk_buff that has already been freed:

The buggy address belongs to the cache skbuff_head_cache of size 232
Queueing from the packet path is wrong even leaving the race aside:
notify_list is only drained by nft_commit_notify() from nf_tables_commit()
(:11185), so a notification enqueued outside a transaction is not sent
until some later netlink batch commits, if one ever does.
The gfp argument that nft_obj_notify() still takes is a leftover of the
pre-67cc570edaa0 behaviour, where this path called nfnetlink_send()
directly. Restore that: split the message construction out into
nft_obj_notify_alloc() and let each caller decide what to do with the skb.
nft_obj_notify(), the exported one reached from the packet path, sends it
straight away; nf_tables_obj_notify(), which runs under commit_mutex, keeps
queueing it, so transaction notifications are still coalesced. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: virtio - bound the akcipher result length
virtio_crypto_dataq_akcipher_callback() sets the result length from the
device-reported response length without bounding it to the destination
buffer, which was allocated for the original request length.
sg_copy_from_buffer() then reads that many bytes from the destination
buffer; a backend reporting a larger length over-reads adjacent kernel
heap into the caller's scatterlist (an out-of-bounds read).
Clamp the reported length to the originally requested destination length.
A conforming device reports no more than that, so valid results are
unaffected. |

fbdev: Wrap user-invoked calls to fb_set_var() in helper
Handle fbcon during display updates in fb_set_var_from_user(). Check
with fbcon if the mode change is possible, update hardware state and
finally update fbcon. Update all callers.
Only the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl currently does all steps. Other
mode-changes callers in sysfs and driver code are missing fbcon-related
steps.
With the new helper, ps3fb and sh_mobile_lcdcfb no longer maintain
fbcon state themselves. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: nintendo: register input device after capabilities are set
input_register_device() exposes the device to userspace immediately.
In joycon_input_create() it was called before joycon_config_rumble()
configures the FF_RUMBLE capability and the memless force-feedback
device, so a concurrent EVIOCSFF could dereference a NULL dev->ff.
Registering early also means the initial udev event lacks button and
axis information, which can make input managers ignore the device.
Move input_register_device() to the end of joycon_input_create(), after
all capabilities, the IMU input device and the force-feedback callbacks
have been configured. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: zero the sockaddr before returning it in getname
iso_sock_getname() fills a struct sockaddr_iso in place and returns its
size without clearing it first, so bytes it does not write are copied to
user space from the kernel stack. The getsockname(2) and getpeername(2)
paths both run through do_getsockname(), which hands getname() an
uninitialized sockaddr_storage on the stack and copies back up to the
number of bytes getname() returns, so the driver has to initialize every
byte it accounts for.
Two ranges are left uninitialized:
- struct sockaddr_iso is 10 bytes but only 9 are written (family,
iso_bdaddr, iso_bdaddr_type), leaking the trailing pad byte on every
call.
- for a broadcast peer (BIS_LINK or PA_LINK) the returned length grows
by sizeof(struct sockaddr_iso_bc), but only bc_sid, bc_num_bis and
bc_bis are filled; bc_bdaddr and bc_bdaddr_type, the first 7 bytes of
that structure, are never written.
An unprivileged process can open a BTPROTO_ISO socket and reach the pad
leak with getsockname(); the broadcast leak needs an established BIS/PA
connection. l2cap and rfcomm already memset their sockaddr in getname
for the same reason; do the same here. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: reject a permission value exceeding the class permission count
perm_read() bounds a permission value by SEL_VEC_MAX but never by the
nprim of the owning class or common, which is taken verbatim from the
policy image. security_get_permissions() then writes perms[value - 1]
into an nprim-sized kcalloc() array, so a class declaring fewer
permissions than its largest permission value drives an out-of-bounds
heap write. The top-level symbol tables are validated this way; the
nested per-class permission table is not.
Reject a permission whose value exceeds nprim, which is already set when
perm_read() runs. Well-formed policies are unaffected.
[PM: tweak comment for line length] |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Add bounds check for CRAT subtype length
The CRAT parser validates that the subtype header fits within the image,
but does not verify that the advertised subtype length fits. A malformed
CRAT table with an oversized length field causes out-of-bounds reads when
kfd_parse_subtype() casts the header to specific subtype structures.
Add validation that sub_type_hdr + length does not exceed the image
boundary before parsing the subtype contents.

net/mlx5e: TC, Check if flow is PEER before acquiring devcom lock
In case __mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() fails in lower levels, the flow is
deleted via mlx5e_tc_del_flow(), and mlx5e_tc_del_flow() is acquiring
ESW devcom lock without condition. In addition, in case of peer_flow,
__mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() is called while holding ESW devcom comp lock.
This results in an AA deadlock.
To fix this, introduce a new PEER flag that is set on flows created as
peer flows (the duplicate flows on peer devices), and check it in
mlx5e_tc_del_flow() before acquiring ESW devcom lock.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check sk_state before sk_protocol in bpf_tcp_*_syncookie
bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie accept a socket pointer
'sk' with argument type ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON. However, they access
sk->sk_protocol without validating whether 'sk' represents a full socket.
Fix this issue by checking sk->sk_state != TCP_LISTEN before inspecting
sk->sk_protocol in both bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie.
Since mini-sockets are never in the TCP_LISTEN state, the condition
short-circuits and prevents dereferencing fullsock-specific fields. |

s390/dasd: Fix undersized format-check buffer
fmt_buffer_size in dasd_eckd_check_device_format() is declared as
int, even though one of the multiplicands, sizeof(struct eckd_count),
is a size_t. The expression
trkcount * rpt_max * sizeof(struct eckd_count)
is therefore correctly evaluated at 64-bit width, but the result is
silently truncated when it is stored back into the 32-bit
fmt_buffer_size variable. For a sufficiently large track range
(start_unit/stop_unit are caller-controlled) this truncation
yields a buffer size far smaller than the number of tracks actually
requested. kzalloc() then succeeds with an undersized allocation,
while the subsequent channel program build still operates on the
untruncated track count and writes past the end of that buffer.
Compute the buffer size with check_mul_overflow() and keep it in a
size_t, so that a value that no longer fits results in -EINVAL
instead of a silently truncated allocation size. |

dmaengine: idxd: fix double free of wq, engine, and group structs
The release callbacks for wq, engine, and group devices
(idxd_conf_wq_release, idxd_conf_engine_release,
idxd_conf_group_release) each call kfree() on the enclosing struct.
The setup error paths and cleanup functions also call kfree()
explicitly after put_device(), producing a double free whenever
put_device() drops the reference count to zero and fires the release.
In the setup functions, device_initialize() is called before
device_add(), so the reference count is exactly 1 at the error sites.
put_device() unconditionally fires the release, which frees the struct;
the subsequent explicit kfree() then operates on freed memory.
For idxd_setup_wqs(), the wq release callback also owns opcap_bmap
and wqcfg. The error unwind additionally freed those fields explicitly
before calling put_device(), causing further double frees on both.
Remove the redundant explicit kfree() calls from all setup error paths
and cleanup functions for wq, engine, and group structs, delegating
