In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: omap: do not register driver in probe()
Commit 11a78b794496 ("ARM: OMAP: MPUIO wake updates") registers the omapmpuiodriver from omapmpuioinit(), which is called from omapgpioprobe().
However, it neither makes sense to register drivers from probe() callbacks of other drivers, nor does the driver core allow registering drivers with a device lock already being held.
The latter was revealed by commit dc23806a7c47 ("driver core: enforce devicelock for drivermatchdevice()") leading to a potential deadlock condition described in [1].
Additionally, the omapmpuiodriver is never unregistered from the driver core, even if the module is unloaded.
Hence, register the omapmpuiodriver from the module initcall and unregister it in moduleexit().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: authencesn - reject too-short AAD (assoclen<8) to match ESP/ESN spec
authencesn assumes an ESP/ESN-formatted AAD. When assoclen is shorter than the minimum expected length, cryptoauthencesndecrypt() can advance past the end of the destination scatterlist and trigger a NULL pointer dereference in scatterwalkmapandcopy(), leading to a kernel panic (DoS).
Add a minimum AAD length check to fail fast on invalid inputs.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gue: Fix skb memleak with inner IP protocol 0.
syzbot reported skb memleak below. [0]
The repro generated a GUE packet with its inner protocol 0.
gueudprecv() returns -guehdr->protoctype for "resubmit" in ipprotocoldeliverrcu(), but this only works with non-zero protocol number.
Let's drop such packets.
Note that 0 is a valid number (IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option).
I think it is not practical to encap HOPOPT in GUE, so once someone starts to complain, we could pass down a resubmit flag pointer to distinguish two zeros from the upper layer:
no error resubmit HOPOPT

net: nfc: fix deadlock between nfcunregisterdevice and rfkillfopwrite
A deadlock can occur between nfcunregisterdevice() and rfkillfopwrite() due to lock ordering inversion between devicelock and rfkillglobalmutex.
The problematic lock order is:
Thread A (rfkillfopwrite): rfkillfopwrite() mutexlock(&rfkillglobalmutex) rfkillsetblock() nfcrfkillsetblock() nfcdevdown() devicelock(&dev->dev) <- waits for devicelock
Thread B (nfcunregisterdevice): nfcunregisterdevice() devicelock(&dev->dev) rfkillunregister() mutexlock(&rfkillglobalmutex) <- waits for rfkillglobalmutex
This creates a classic ABBA deadlock scenario.
Fix this by moving rfkillunregister() and rfkilldestroy() outside the devicelock critical section. Store the rfkill pointer in a local variable before releasing the lock, then call rfkillunregister() after releasing devicelock.
This change is safe because rfkillfopwrite() holds rfkillglobalmutex while calling the rfkill callbacks, and rfkillunregister() also acquires rfkillglobalmutex before cleanup. Therefore, rfkillunregister() will wait for any ongoing callback to complete before proceeding, and devicedel() is only called after rfkillunregister() returns, preventing any use-after-free.
The similar lock ordering in nfcregisterdevice() (devicelock -> rfkillglobalmutex via rfkillregister) is safe because during registration the device is not yet in rfkilllist, so no concurrent rfkill operations can occur on this device.

dmaengine: stm32: dmamux: fix device leak on route allocation

net: fix memory leak in skbsegmentlist for GRO packets
When skbsegmentlist() is called during packet forwarding, it handles packets that were aggregated by the GRO engine.
Historically, the segmentation logic in skbsegmentlist assumes that individual segments are split from a parent SKB and may need to carry their own socket memory accounting. Accordingly, the code transfers truesize from the parent to the newly created segments.
Prior to commit ed4cccef64c1 ("gro: fix ownership transfer"), this truesize subtraction in skbsegmentlist() was valid because fragments still carry a reference to the original socket.
However, commit ed4cccef64c1 ("gro: fix ownership transfer") changed this behavior by ensuring that fraglist entries are explicitly orphaned (skb->sk = NULL) to prevent illegal orphaning later in the stack. This change meant that the entire socket memory charge remained with the head SKB, but the corresponding accounting logic in skbsegmentlist() was never updated.
As a result, the current code unconditionally adds each fragment's truesize to deltatruesize and subtracts it from the parent SKB. Since the fragments are no longer charged to the socket, this subtraction results in an effective under-count of memory when the head is freed. This causes skwmemalloc to remain non-zero, preventing socket destruction and leading to a persistent memory leak.
The leak can be observed via KMEMLEAK when tearing down the networking environment:
unreferenced object 0xffff8881e6eb9100 (size 2048): comm "ping", pid 6720, jiffies 4295492526 backtrace: kmemcacheallocnoprof+0x5c6/0x800 skprotalloc+0x5b/0x220 skalloc+0x35/0xa00 inet6create.part.0+0x303/0x10d0 sockcreate+0x248/0x640 syssocket+0x11b/0x1d0
Since skbsegmentlist() is exclusively used for SKBGSOFRAGLIST packets constructed by GRO, the truesize adjustment is removed.
The call to skbreleaseheadstate() must be preserved. As documented in commit cf673ed0e057 ("net: fix fraglist segmentation reference count leak"), it is still required to correctly drop references to SKB extensions that may be overwritten during copyskbheader().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nftables: fix inverted genmask check in nftmapcatchallactivate()
nftmapcatchallactivate() has an inverted element activity check compared to its non-catchall counterpart nftmapelemactivate() and compared to what is logically required.
nftmapcatchallactivate() is called from the abort path to re-activate catchall map elements that were deactivated during a failed transaction. It should skip elements that are already active (they don't need re-activation) and process elements that are inactive (they need to be restored). Instead, the current code does the opposite: it skips inactive elements and processes active ones.
Compare the non-catchall activate callback, which is correct:
nftmapelemactivate(): if (nftsetelemactive(ext, iter->genmask)) return 0; / skip active, process inactive /
With the buggy catchall version:
nftmapcatchallactivate(): if (!nftsetelemactive(ext, genmask)) continue; / skip inactive, process active /
The consequence is that when a DELSET operation is aborted, nftsetelemdataactivate() is never called for the catchall element. For NFTGOTO verdict elements, this means nftdatahold() is never called to restore the chain->use reference count. Each abort cycle permanently decrements chain->use. Once chain->use reaches zero, DELCHAIN succeeds and frees the chain while catchall verdict elements still reference it, resulting in a use-after-free.
This is exploitable for local privilege escalation from an unprivileged user via user namespaces + nftables on distributions that enable CONFIGUSERNS and CONFIGNFTABLES.
Fix by removing the negation so the check matches nftmapelemactivate(): skip active elements, process inactive ones.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Wake up the error handler when final completions race against each other
The fragile ordering between marking commands completed or failed so that the error handler only wakes when the last running command completes or times out has race conditions. These race conditions can cause the SCSI layer to fail to wake the error handler, leaving I/O through the SCSI host stuck as the error state cannot advance.
First, there is an memory ordering issue within scsidechostbusy(). The write which clears SCMDSTATEINFLIGHT may be reordered with reads counting in scsihostbusy(). While the local CPU will see its own write, reordering can allow other CPUs in scsidechostbusy() or scsiehinchostfailed() to see a raised busy count, causing no CPU to see a host busy equal to the hostfailed count.
This race condition can be prevented with a memory barrier on the error path to force the write to be visible before counting host busy commands.
Second, there is a general ordering issue with scsiehinchostfailed(). By counting busy commands before incrementing hostfailed, it can race with a final command in scsidechostbusy(), such that scsidechostbusy() does not see hostfailed incremented but scsiehinchostfailed() counts busy commands before SCMDSTATEINFLIGHT is cleared by scsidechostbusy(), resulting in neither waking the error handler task.
This needs the call to scsihostbusy() to be moved after hostfailed is incremented to close the race condition.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: Fix reference count leak when using error routes with nexthop objects
When a nexthop object is deleted, it is marked as dead and then fibtableflush() is called to flush all the routes that are using the dead nexthop.
The current logic in fibtableflush() is to only flush error routes (e.g., blackhole) when it is called as part of network namespace dismantle (i.e., with flushall=true). Therefore, error routes are not flushed when their nexthop object is deleted:
# ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy # ip nexthop add id 1 dev dummy1 # ip route add 198.51.100.1/32 nhid 1 # ip route add blackhole 198.51.100.2/32 nhid 1 # ip nexthop del id 1 # ip route show blackhole 198.51.100.2 nhid 1 dev dummy1
As such, they keep holding a reference on the nexthop object which in turn holds a reference on the nexthop device, resulting in a reference count leak:
# ip link del dev dummy1 [ 70.516258] unregisternetdevice: waiting for dummy1 to become free. Usage count = 2
Fix by flushing error routes when their nexthop is marked as dead.
IPv6 does not suffer from this problem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Fix VM hard lockup after prolonged inactivity with periodic HV timer
When advancing the target expiration for the guest's APIC timer in periodic mode, set the expiration to "now" if the target expiration is in the past (similar to what is done in updatetargetexpiration()). Blindly adding the period to the previous target expiration can result in KVM generating a practically unbounded number of hrtimer IRQs due to programming an expired timer over and over. In extreme scenarios, e.g. if userspace pauses/suspends a VM for an extended duration, this can even cause hard lockups in the host.
Currently, the bug only affects Intel CPUs when using the hypervisor timer (HV timer), a.k.a. the VMX preemption timer. Unlike the software timer, a.k.a. hrtimer, which KVM keeps running even on exits to userspace, the HV timer only runs while the guest is active. As a result, if the vCPU does not run for an extended duration, there will be a huge gap between the target expiration and the current time the vCPU resumes running. Because the target expiration is incremented by only one period on each timer expiration, this leads to a series of timer expirations occurring rapidly after the vCPU/VM resumes.
More critically, when the vCPU first triggers a periodic HV timer expiration after resuming, advancing the expiration by only one period will result in a target expiration in the past. As a result, the delta may be calculated as a negative value. When the delta is converted into an absolute value (tscdeadline is an unsigned u64), the resulting value can overflow what the HV timer is capable of programming. I.e. the large value will exceed the VMX Preemption Timer's maximum bit width of cpupreemptiontimermulti + 32, and thus cause KVM to switch from the HV timer to the software timer (hrtimers).
After switching to the software timer, periodic timer expiration callbacks may be executed consecutively within a single clock interrupt handler, because hrtimers honors KVM's request for an expiration in the past and immediately re-invokes KVM's callback after reprogramming. And because the interrupt handler runs with IRQs disabled, restarting KVM's hrtimer over and over until the target expiration is advanced to "now" can result in a hard lockup.
E.g. the following hard lockup was triggered in the host when running a Windows VM (only relevant because it used the APIC timer in periodic mode) after resuming the VM from a long suspend (in the host).
NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 45 ... RIP: 0010:advanceperiodictargetexpiration+0x4d/0x80 [kvm] ...

Moreover, if the suspend duration of the virtual machine is not long enough to trigger a hard lockup in this scenario, since commit 98c25ead5eda ("KVM: VMX: Move preemption timer <=> hrtimer dance to common x86"), KVM will continue using the software timer until the guest reprograms the APIC timer in some way. Since the periodic timer does not require frequent APIC timer register programming, the guest may continue to use the software timer in ---truncated---

net: rose: fix invalid array index in rosekillbydevice()
rosekillbydevice() collects sockets into a local array[] and then iterates over them to disconnect sockets bound to a device being brought down.
The loop mistakenly indexes array[cnt] instead of array[i]. For cnt < ARRAYSIZE(array), this reads an uninitialized entry; for cnt == ARRAYSIZE(array), it is an out-of-bounds read. Either case can lead to an invalid socket pointer dereference and also leaks references taken via sockhold().

For XDPTX action, the xdpbuff is converted to xdpframe by xdpconvertbufftoframe(). The memory type of the resulting xdpframe depends on the memory type of the xdpbuff. For page pool based xdpbuff it produces xdpframe with memory type MEMTYPEPAGEPOOL. For zero copy XSK pool based xdpbuff it produces xdpframe with memory type MEMTYPEPAGEORDER0. However, stmmacxdpxmitback() does not check the memory type and always uses the page pool type, this leads to invalid mappings and causes the crash. Therefore, check the xdpbuff memory type in stmmacxdpxmitback() to fix this issue.

dmaengine: qcom: gpi: Fix memory leak in gpiperipheralconfig()
Fix a memory leak in gpiperipheralconfig() where the original memory pointed to by gchan->config could be lost if krealloc() fails.
The issue occurs when: 1. gchan->config points to previously allocated memory 2. krealloc() fails and returns NULL 3. The function directly assigns NULL to gchan->config, losing the reference to the original memory 4. The original memory becomes unreachable and cannot be freed
Fix this by using a temporary variable to hold the krealloc() result and only updating gchan->config when the allocation succeeds.

be2net: Fix NULL pointer dereference in becmdgetmacfromlist
When the parameter pmacidvalid argument of becmdgetmacfromlist() is set to false, the driver may request the PMACID from the firmware of the network card, and this function will store that PMACID at the provided address pmacid. This is the contract of this function.
However, there is a location within the driver where both pmacidvalid == false and pmacid == NULL are being passed. This could result in dereferencing a NULL pointer.
To resolve this issue, it is necessary to pass the address of a stub variable to the function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iouring/io-wq: check IOWQBITEXIT inside work run loop
Currently this is checked before running the pending work. Normally this is quite fine, as work items either end up blocking (which will create a new worker for other items), or they complete fairly quickly. But syzbot reports an issue where io-wq takes seemingly forever to exit, and with a bit of debugging, this turns out to be because it queues a bunch of big (2GB - 4096b) reads with a /dev/msr file. Since this file type doesn't support ->readiter(), looprwiter() ends up handling them. Each read returns 16MB of data read, which takes 20 (!!) seconds. With a bunch of these pending, processing the whole chain can take a long time. Easily longer than the syzbot uninterruptible sleep timeout of 140 seconds. This then triggers a complaint off the io-wq exit path:

There's really nothing wrong here, outside of processing these reads will take a LONG time. However, we can speed up the exit by checking the IOWQBITEXIT inside the ioworkerhandlework() loop, as syzbot will exit the ring after queueing up all of these reads. Then once the first item is processed, io-wq will simply cancel the rest. That should avoid syzbot running into this complaint again.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: Don't allow 0 for FOUATTRIPPROTO.
fouudprecv() has the same problem mentioned in the previous patch.
If FOUATTRIPPROTO is set to 0, skb is not freed by fouudprecv() nor "resubmit"-ted in ipprotocoldeliverrcu().
Let's forbid 0 for FOUATTRIPPROTO.

The TCP subflow can process the simult-connect syn-ack packet after transitioning to TCPFIN1 state, bypassing the MPTCP fallback check, as the skstatechange() callback is not invoked for -> FINWAIT1 transitions.
That will move the msk socket to an inconsistent status and the next incoming data will hit the reported splat.
Close the race moving the simult-fallback check at the earliest possible stage - that is at syn-ack generation time.
About the fixes tags: [2] was supposed to also fix this issue introduced by [3]. [1] is required as a dependence: it was not explicitly marked as a fix, but it is one and it has already been backported before [3]. In other words, this commit should be backported up to [3], including [2] and [1] if that's not already there.
