| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845: Affirm IDR0.CCTW on apps_smmu"
There are reports that the pagetable walker cache coherency is not a
given across the spectrum of SDM845/850 devices, leading to lock-ups
and resets. It works fine on some devices (like the Dragonboard 845c,
but not so much on the Lenovo Yoga C630).
This unfortunately looks like a fluke in firmware development, where
likely somewhere in the vast hypervisor stack, a change to accommodate
for this was only introduced after the initial software release (which
often serves as a baseline for products).
Revert the change to avoid additional guesswork around crashes.
This reverts commit 6b31a9744b8726c69bb0af290f8475a368a4b805. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atm: fix use after free in lec_send()
The ->send() operation frees skb so save the length before calling
->send() to avoid a use after free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/qaic: Fix integer overflow in qaic_validate_req()
These are u64 variables that come from the user via
qaic_attach_slice_bo_ioctl(). Use check_add_overflow() to ensure that
the math doesn't have an integer wrapping bug. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix incorrect validation for num_aces field of smb_acl
parse_dcal() validate num_aces to allocate posix_ace_state_array.
if (num_aces > ULONG_MAX / sizeof(struct smb_ace *))
It is an incorrect validation that we can create an array of size ULONG_MAX.
smb_acl has ->size field to calculate actual number of aces in request buffer
size. Use this to check invalid num_aces. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/netfs/read_collect: add to next->prev_donated
If multiple subrequests donate data to the same "next" request
(depending on the subrequest completion order), each of them would
overwrite the `prev_donated` field, causing data corruption and a
BUG() crash ("Can't donate prior to front"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix out-of-bound accesses
[WHAT & HOW]
hpo_stream_to_link_encoder_mapping has size MAX_HPO_DP2_ENCODERS(=4),
but location can have size up to 6. As a result, it is necessary to
check location against MAX_HPO_DP2_ENCODERS.
Similiarly, disp_cfg_stream_location can be used as an array index which
should be 0..5, so the ASSERT's conditions should be less without equal. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: fix kernel BUG when userfaultfd_move encounters swapcache
userfaultfd_move() checks whether the PTE entry is present or a
swap entry.
- If the PTE entry is present, move_present_pte() handles folio
migration by setting:
src_folio->index = linear_page_index(dst_vma, dst_addr);
- If the PTE entry is a swap entry, move_swap_pte() simply copies
the PTE to the new dst_addr.
This approach is incorrect because, even if the PTE is a swap entry,
it can still reference a folio that remains in the swap cache.
This creates a race window between steps 2 and 4.
1. add_to_swap: The folio is added to the swapcache.
2. try_to_unmap: PTEs are converted to swap entries.
3. pageout: The folio is written back.
4. Swapcache is cleared.
If userfaultfd_move() occurs in the window between steps 2 and 4,
after the swap PTE has been moved to the destination, accessing the
destination triggers do_swap_page(), which may locate the folio in
the swapcache. However, since the folio's index has not been updated
to match the destination VMA, do_swap_page() will detect a mismatch.
This can result in two critical issues depending on the system
configuration.
If KSM is disabled, both small and large folios can trigger a BUG
during the add_rmap operation due to:
page_pgoff(folio, page) != linear_page_index(vma, address)

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Bridge, fix the crash caused by LAG state check
When removing LAG device from bridge, NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event is
triggered. Driver finds the lower devices (PFs) to flush all the
offloaded entries. And mlx5_lag_is_shared_fdb is checked, it returns
false if one of PF is unloaded. In such case,
mlx5_esw_bridge_lag_rep_get() and its caller return NULL, instead of
the alive PF, and the flush is skipped.
Besides, the bridge fdb entry's lastuse is updated in mlx5 bridge
event handler. But this SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE event can be
ignored in this case because the upper interface for bond is deleted,
and the entry will never be aged because lastuse is never updated.
To make things worse, as the entry is alive, mlx5 bridge workqueue
keeps sending that event, which is then handled by kernel bridge
notifier. It causes the following crash when accessing the passed bond
netdev which is already destroyed.
To fix this issue, remove such checks. LAG state is already checked in
commit 15f8f168952f ("net/mlx5: Bridge, verify LAG state when adding
bond to bridge"), driver still need to skip offload if LAG becomes
invalid state after initialization.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Validate prev_cpu in scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl()
If a BPF scheduler provides an invalid CPU (outside the nr_cpu_ids
range) as prev_cpu to scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() it can cause a kernel
crash.
To prevent this, validate prev_cpu in scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() and
trigger an scx error if an invalid CPU is specified. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: bnxt: do not update checksum in bnxt_xdp_build_skb()
The bnxt_rx_pkt() updates ip_summed value at the end if checksum offload
is enabled.
When the XDP-MB program is attached and it returns XDP_PASS, the
bnxt_xdp_build_skb() is called to update skb_shared_info.
The main purpose of bnxt_xdp_build_skb() is to update skb_shared_info,
but it updates ip_summed value too if checksum offload is enabled.
This is actually duplicate work.
When the bnxt_rx_pkt() updates ip_summed value, it checks if ip_summed
is CHECKSUM_NONE or not.
It means that ip_summed should be CHECKSUM_NONE at this moment.
But ip_summed may already be updated to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the
XDP-MB-PASS path.
So the by skb_checksum_none_assert() WARNS about it.
This is duplicate work and updating ip_summed in the
bnxt_xdp_build_skb() is not needed.
Splat looks like:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "openvswitch: switch to per-action label counting in conntrack"
Currently, ovs_ct_set_labels() is only called for confirmed conntrack
entries (ct) within ovs_ct_commit(). However, if the conntrack entry
does not have the labels_ext extension, attempting to allocate it in
ovs_ct_get_conn_labels() for a confirmed entry triggers a warning in
nf_ct_ext_add():
WARN_ON(nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct));
This happens when the conntrack entry is created externally before OVS
increments net->ct.labels_used. The issue has become more likely since
commit fcb1aa5163b1 ("openvswitch: switch to per-action label counting
in conntrack"), which changed to use per-action label counting and
increment net->ct.labels_used when a flow with ct action is added.
Since there’s no straightforward way to fully resolve this issue at the
moment, this reverts the commit to avoid breaking existing use cases. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netmem: prevent TX of unreadable skbs
Currently on stable trees we have support for netmem/devmem RX but not
TX. It is not safe to forward/redirect an RX unreadable netmem packet
into the device's TX path, as the device may call dma-mapping APIs on
dma addrs that should not be passed to it.
Fix this by preventing the xmit of unreadable skbs.
Tested by configuring tc redirect:
sudo tc qdisc add dev eth1 ingress
sudo tc filter add dev eth1 ingress protocol ip prio 1 flower ip_proto \
tcp src_ip 192.168.1.12 action mirred egress redirect dev eth1
Before, I see unreadable skbs in the driver's TX path passed to dma
mapping APIs.
After, I don't see unreadable skbs in the driver's TX path passed to dma
mapping APIs. |

The problem is that base address allocated from hugetlbfs is not aligned
with pmd size. Here add a checking for hugetlbfs and align base address
with pmd size. After this patch the test case "testcases/bin/hugefork02"
passes to run.
This is similar to the commit 7f24cbc9c4d42db8a3c8484d1 ("mm/mmap: teach
generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb mappings"). |

drm/xe/hmm: Don't dereference struct page pointers without notifier lock
The pnfs that we obtain from hmm_range_fault() point to pages that
we don't have a reference on, and the guarantee that they are still
in the cpu page-tables is that the notifier lock must be held and the
notifier seqno is still valid.
So while building the sg table and marking the pages accesses / dirty
we need to hold this lock with a validated seqno.
However, the lock is reclaim tainted which makes
sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment() unusable, since it internally
allocates memory.
Instead build the sg-table manually. For the non-iommu case
this might lead to fewer coalesces, but if that's a problem it can
be fixed up later in the resource cursor code. For the iommu case,
the whole sg-table may still be coalesced to a single contigous
device va region.
This avoids marking pages that we don't own dirty and accessed, and
it also avoid dereferencing struct pages that we don't own.
v2:
- Use assert to check whether hmm pfns are valid (Matthew Auld)
- Take into account that large pages may cross range boundaries
(Matthew Auld)
v3:
- Don't unnecessarily check for a non-freed sg-table. (Matthew Auld)
- Add a missing up_read() in an error path. (Matthew Auld)

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: abort vma_modify() on merge out of memory failure
The remainder of vma_modify() relies upon the vmg state remaining pristine
after a merge attempt.
Usually this is the case, however in the one edge case scenario of a merge
attempt failing not due to the specified range being unmergeable, but
rather due to an out of memory error arising when attempting to commit the
merge, this assumption becomes untrue.
This results in vmg->start, end being modified, and thus the proceeding
attempts to split the VMA will be done with invalid start/end values.
Thankfully, it is likely practically impossible for us to hit this in
reality, as it would require a maple tree node pre-allocation failure that
would likely never happen due to it being 'too small to fail', i.e. the
kernel would simply keep retrying reclaim until it succeeded.
However, this scenario remains theoretically possible, and what we are
doing here is wrong so we must correct it.
The safest option is, when this scenario occurs, to simply give up the
operation. If we cannot allocate memory to merge, then we cannot allocate
memory to split either (perhaps moreso!).
Any scenario where this would be happening would be under very extreme
(likely fatal) memory pressure, so it's best we give up early.
So there is no doubt it is appropriate to simply bail out in this
scenario.
However, in general we must if at all possible never assume VMG state is
stable after a merge attempt, since merge operations update VMG fields.
As a result, additionally also make this clear by storing start, end in
local variables.
The issue was reported originally by syzkaller, and by Brad Spengler (via
an off-list discussion), and in both instances it manifested as a
triggering of the assert:
VM_WARN_ON_VMG(start >= end, vmg);
In vma_merge_existing_range().
It seems at least one scenario in which this is occurring is one in which
the merge being attempted is due to an madvise() across multiple VMAs
which looks like this:
start end
|<------>|
|----------|------|
| vma | next |
|----------|------|
When madvise_walk_vmas() is invoked, we first find vma in the above
(determining prev to be equal to vma as we are offset into vma), and then
enter the loop.
We determine the end of vma that forms part of the range we are
madvise()'ing by setting 'tmp' to this value:
/* Here vma->vm_start <= start < (end|vma->vm_end) */
tmp = vma->vm_end;
We then invoke the madvise() operation via visit(), letting prev get
updated to point to vma as part of the operation:
/* Here vma->vm_start <= start < tmp <= (end|vma->vm_end). */
error = visit(vma, &prev, start, tmp, arg);
Where the visit() function pointer in this instance is
madvise_vma_behavior().
As observed in syzkaller reports, it is ultimately madvise_update_vma()
that is invoked, calling vma_modify_flags_name() and vma_modify() in turn.
Then, in vma_modify(), we attempt the merge:
merged = vma_merge_existing_range(vmg);
if (merged)
return merged;
We invoke this with vmg->start, end set to start, tmp as such:
start tmp
|<--->|
|----------|------|
| vma | next |
|----------|------|
We find ourselves in the merge right scenario, but the one in which we
cannot remove the middle (we are offset into vma).
Here we have a special case where vmg->start, end get set to perhaps
unintuitive values - we intended to shrink the middle VMA and expand the
next.
This means vmg->start, end are set to... vma->vm_start, start.
Now the commit_merge() fails, and vmg->start, end are left like this.
This means we return to the rest of vma_modify() with vmg->start, end
(here denoted as start', end') set as:
start' end'
|<-->|
|----------|------|
| vma | next |
|----------|------|
So we now erroneously try to split accordingly. This is where the

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cdx: Fix possible UAF error in driver_override_show()
Fixed a possible UAF problem in driver_override_show() in drivers/cdx/cdx.c
This function driver_override_show() is part of DEVICE_ATTR_RW, which
includes both driver_override_show() and driver_override_store().
These functions can be executed concurrently in sysfs.
The driver_override_store() function uses driver_set_override() to
update the driver_override value, and driver_set_override() internally
locks the device (device_lock(dev)). If driver_override_show() reads
cdx_dev->driver_override without locking, it could potentially access
a freed pointer if driver_override_store() frees the string
concurrently. This could lead to printing a kernel address, which is a
security risk since DEVICE_ATTR can be read by all users.
Additionally, a similar pattern is used in drivers/amba/bus.c, as well
as many other bus drivers, where device_lock() is taken in the show
function, and it has been working without issues.
This potential bug was detected by our experimental static analysis
tool, which analyzes locking APIs and paired functions to identify
data races and atomicity violations. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: clean up ROC on failure
If the firmware fails to start the session protection, then we
do call iwl_mvm_roc_finished() here, but that won't do anything
at all because IWL_MVM_STATUS_ROC_P2P_RUNNING was never set.
Set IWL_MVM_STATUS_ROC_P2P_RUNNING in the failure/stop path.
If it started successfully before, it's already set, so that
doesn't matter, and if it didn't start it needs to be set to
clean up.
Not doing so will lead to a WARN_ON() later on a fresh remain-
on-channel, since the link is already active when activated as
it was never deactivated. |

RDMA/bnxt_re: Add sanity checks on rdev validity
There is a possibility that ulp_irq_stop and ulp_irq_start
callbacks will be called when the device is in detached state.
This can cause a crash due to NULL pointer dereference as
the rdev is already freed. |
