In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/shrinker: do not hold RCU lock in shrinkerdebugfscountshow()

Reading the debugfs "count" file of a memcg-aware shrinker can sleep inside an RCU read-side critical section:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:421 RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0 cssrstatflush memcgroupflushstats zswapshrinkercount shrinkerdebugfscountshow

shrinkerdebugfscountshow() invokes the ->countobjects() callback under rcureadlock(). The zswap callback flushes memcg stats via cssrstatflush(), which may sleep, so it must not run under RCU.

The RCU lock is not needed here. memcgroupiter() takes RCU internally and returns a memcg holding a css reference (dropped on the next iteration or by memcgroupiterbreak()), so the memcg stays alive without it. The shrinker is kept alive by the open debugfs file: shrinkerfree() removes the debugfs entries via debugfsremoverecursive(), which waits for in-flight readers to drain, before callrcu(..., shrinkerfreercucb). The sibling "scan" handler already invokes the sleeping ->scanobjects() callback with no RCU section.

Drop the rcureadlock()/rcureadunlock().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm: shrinker: fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs

shrinkerdebugfsadd() creates both "count" and "scan" debugfs files unconditionally.

That assumes every shrinker implements both countobjects() and scanobjects(), which is not guaranteed. For example, the xen-backend shrinker sets countobjects() but leaves scanobjects() NULL, so writing to its scan file calls through a NULL function pointer and panics the kernel:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 RIP: 0010:0x0 Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6. Call Trace: <TASK> shrinkerdebugfsscanwrite+0x12e/0x270 fullproxywrite+0x5f/0x90 vfswrite+0xde/0x420 ? filpflush+0x75/0x90 ? filpclose+0x1d/0x30 ? dodup2+0xb8/0x120 ksyswrite+0x68/0xf0 ? filpflush+0x75/0x90 dosyscall64+0xb3/0x5b0 entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe+0x76/0x7e

The count path has the same issue in principle if a shrinker omits countobjects().

To fix it, only create "count" and "scan" debugfs files when the corresponding callbacks are present.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firmwareloader: fix device reference leak in firmwareuploadregister()

firmwareuploadregister() -> fwcreateinstance() -> deviceinitialize()

After fwcreateinstance() succeeds, the lifetime of the embedded struct device is expected to be managed through the device core reference counting, since fwcreateinstance() has already called deviceinitialize().

In firmwareuploadregister(), if alloclookupfwpriv() fails after fwcreateinstance() succeeds, the code reaches freefwsysfs and frees fwsysfs directly instead of releasing the device reference with putdevice(). This may leave the reference count of the embedded struct device unbalanced, resulting in a refcount leak.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and confirmed by manual review. Fix this by using putdevice(fwdev) in the failure path and letting fwdevrelease() handle the final cleanup, instead of freeing the instance directly from the error path.

s390: Revert support for DCACHEWORDACCESS

loadunalignedzeropad() reads eight bytes from unaligned addresses and may cross page boundaries. It handles exceptions which may happen if reading from the second page results in an exception.

For pages which are donated to the Ultravisor for secure execution purposes the dosecurestorageaccess() exception handler however does not handle such exceptions correctly. Such an exception may result in an endless exception loop which will never be resolved.

An attempt to fix this [1] turned out to be not sufficient. For now revert loadunalignedzeropad() until this problem has been resolved in a proper way.

Note that the implementation of loadunalignedzeropad() itself is correct. The revert is just a temporary workaround until there is complete fix for secure storage access exceptions.

nilfs2: reject CLEANSEGMENTS ioctl with out-of-range segment numbers

Syzbot reported a hung task in nilfstransactionbegin() where multiple tasks performing chmod() on a nilfs2 mount blocked for over 143 seconds waiting to acquire nssegctorsem for read:

The writer holding nssegctorsem was a concurrent NILFSIOCTLCLEANSEGMENTS caller, stuck inside printk while emitting per-element warnings from nilfssufileupdatev():

The root cause is that user-supplied segment numbers are not validated before nilfscleansegments() begins doing work; the range check on each segnum is performed deep inside the call chain by nilfssufileupdatev(), which emits a nilfswarn() per invalid entry while still holding the segctor lock and the sufile misem. Under load (repeated invocations across multiple mounts saturating the global printk path), the cumulative printk latency keeps nssegctorsem held long enough to trip the hungtask watchdog, blocking concurrent operations such as chmod() that need nssegctorsem for read.

Fix by validating the contents of kbufs[4] in nilfscleansegments() immediately after acquiring nssegctorsem via nilfstransactionlock(). Holding nssegctorsem serializes the check against nilfsioctlresize(), which can modify nsnsegments, so the validation uses a consistent value. Out-of-range segment numbers are rejected with -EINVAL before any segment-cleaning work begins, so the bad entries never reach the per-element diagnostic path inside nilfssufileupdatev().

net: usb: kalmia: bound RX frame length in kalmiarxfixup()

kalmiarxfixup() computes usbpacketlength = skb->len - (2 KALMIAHEADERLENGTH) as a u16, guarded only by a pre-loop check that skb->len is at least KALMIAHEADERLENGTH, which is 6. A device can deliver a short bulk-IN frame with skb->len in the 6 to 11 range, or leave a short trailing remainder on a later loop iteration. Either case underflows usbpacketlength to about 65530.

That bypasses the usbpacketlength < etherpacketlength truncation path. The device-supplied etherpacketlength, a le16 up to 65535 read from headerstart[2], then drives a memcmp() and the following skbtrim() and skbpull() past the end of the rx buffer. The rx buffer is hardmtu 10, which is 14000 bytes. That is an out of bounds read.

Require both the start and end framing headers to be present before subtracting them, on every loop iteration.

usb: gadget: composite: fix dead empty check in the USBDTOTG handler

The OTG branch of compositesetup() falls back to the first configuration when none is selected:

if (cdev->config) config = cdev->config; else config = listfirstentry(&cdev->configs, struct usbconfiguration, list); if (!config) goto done; ... memcpy(req->buf, config->descriptors[0], value);

listfirstentry() never returns NULL. On an empty list it returns containerof() of the list head. So the "if (!config)" check is dead.

When cdev->configs is empty, config points at the head inside struct usbcompositedev. config->descriptors[0] reads whatever sits at that offset. The memcpy copies up to wlength bytes of it into the response buffer.

cdev->configs can be empty in two cases. One is a teardown race on gadget unbind with a control transfer in flight. The other is a driver that sets isotg before it adds a config. A reproducer that holds cdev->configs empty triggers a KASAN fault in this branch.

Use listfirstentryornull() so the existing check does its job.

usbip: vudc: fix NULL deref in vepdequeue()

vepallocrequest() wasn't initializing vrequest->udc, so cancellations on the FunctionFS AIO path were arriving in vepdequeue without a valid UDC reference.

Since vrequest->udc is never actually properly used anywhere, we opt to remove it, and update vepdequeue to obtain a reference to the udc with eptovudc(), consistent with the other vep ops.

AFAICT this bug has existed for ~10 years. Seems that nobody has really stressed the FunctionFS AIO path on usbip's vudc.

module: decompress: check return value of moduleextendmaxpages()

moduleextendmaxpages() calls kvrealloc() internally and returns -ENOMEM on allocation failure. The return value is never checked.

If the initial allocation fails, info->pages remains NULL and info->maxpages remains 0. Subsequent calls to modulegetnextpage() will attempt to dynamically grow the array by calling moduleextendmaxpages(info, 0) since info->usedpages is 0. This results in kvrealloc(NULL, 0) returning ZEROSIZEPTR, which is treated as a success, leading to a dereference of ZEROSIZEPTR and a kernel oops.

Fix: add the missing error check after moduleextendmaxpages() and return immediately on failure. This matches the pattern used by every other kvrealloc() caller in the module loading path.

Divide by Zero

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: elani2c - prevent division by zero and arithmetic underflow

The Elan I2C touchpad driver queries the device for its physical dimensions and trace counts to calculate the device resolution and width. However, if the device firmware or device tree provides invalid zero values for xtraces or ytraces, it results in a fatal division-by-zero exception leading to a kernel panic during device probe.

Add checks to ensure these parameters are non-zero before performing the division. If invalid trace values are detected, fall back to a safe default of 1.

Additionally, prevent an arithmetic underflow in the touch reporting logic. Previously, if the calculated or fallback width was smaller than ETPFWIDTHREDUCE (90), the subtraction would underflow, resulting in a massive unsigned integer being reported to userspace. Clamp the adjusted width to a minimum of 0 to safely handle small physical dimensions and fallback scenarios.

Completing the probe with safe fallback values ensures the sysfs nodes are created, keeping the firmware update path intact so a recovery firmware can be flashed to the device.

In this case the pointer in $4 was truncated from 0x980000000203bd00 to 0x000000000203bd00.

This may happen when no final console driver has been enabled in the configuration and consequently the initial console continues being used late into bootstrap or with an upcoming change that will switch the zs driver to use a platform device, which in turn will make the console handover happen only after other kernel threads have already been started.

Fix the issue by making the buffer static and initdata, and therefore placed in the CKSEG0 32-bit compatibility segment, observing that the console output handler is called with the console lock held, implying no need for this code to be reentrant. Add an assertion to verify the buffer actually has been placed in a compatibility segment.

Null Pointer Dereference
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tty: serial: pchuart: add check for dmaalloccoherent()

Add a check for dmaalloccoherent() failure to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference in dmahandlerx(). Properly release DMA channels and the PCI device reference using a goto ladder if the allocation fails.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: uvc: hold opts->lock across XU walks in uvcfunctionbind

uvcfunctionbind() walks &opts->extensionunits twice without holding opts->lock:

- directly, for the iExtension string-descriptor fixup loop; - indirectly, four times via uvccopydescriptors() (once per speed), where the helper iterates uvc->desc.extensionunits (which aliases &opts->extensionunits) to size and emit XU descriptors.

The configfs side (uvcgextensionmake / uvcgextensiondrop, in drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvcconfigfs.c) takes opts->lock around its listaddtail / listdel operations. A privileged userspace process that holds the configfs subtree open and writes the gadget UDC name to bind the function while concurrently rmdir()'ing an extensions subdir can race uvcgextensiondrop() against the bind-time list walks and dereference a freed struct uvcgextension.

Hold opts->lock from the start of the XU string-descriptor fixup through the last uvccopydescriptors() call, releasing on the descriptor-error path via a new errorunlock label that drops the lock before falling through to the existing error label. This matches the locking discipline of the configfs callbacks and removes the only remaining unsynchronised reader of the XU list during bind.

Reachability: only privileged processes that can mount configfs and write to gadget UDC files can trigger the race, so this is a correctness fix rather than a security boundary.
