zram: fix use-after-free in zrambvecwritepartial()

zramreadpage() picks the sync or async backing device read path based on whether the parent bio is NULL. zrambvecwritepartial() passes its parent bio down, so for ZRAMWB slots the read is dispatched asynchronously and zramreadpage() returns 0 while the bio is still in flight. The caller then runs memcpyfrombvec(), zramwritepage() and freepage() on the buffer, leaving the async read to write into a freed page.

zrambvecreadpartial() was switched to NULL in commit 4e3c87b9421d ("zram: fix synchronous reads") for the same reason; the writepartial counterpart was missed.

net: gro: don't merge zcopy skbs

skbgroreceive() can currently copy frags between the source and GRO skb, without checking the zerocopy status, and in particular the SKBFLMANAGEDFRAGREFS flag.

When SKBFLMANAGEDFRAGREFS is set, the skb doesn't hold a reference on the pages in shinfo->frags. Appending those frags to another skb's frags without fixing up the page refcount can lead to UAF.

When either the last skb in the GRO chain (the one we would append frags to) or the source skb is zerocopy, don't merge the skbs.

netfilter: revalidate bridge ports

ebtredirecttg() dereferences brportgetrcu() return without a NULL check, causing a kernel panic when the bridge port has been removed between the original hook invocation and an NFQUEUE reinject.

A mere NULL check isn't sufficient, however. As sashiko review points out userspace can not only remove the port from the bridge, it could also place the device in a different virtual device, e.g. macvlan.

If this happens, we must drop the packet, there is no way for us to reinject it into the bridge path.

Switch to upper API, we don't need the bridge port structure. Also, this fix keeps another bug intact:

Both nfnetlinklog and nfnetlinkqueue use CONFIGBRIDGENETFILTER too aggressive, which prevents certain logging features when queueing in bridge family: NETFILTERFAMILYBRIDGE can be enabled while the old CONFIGBRIDGENETFILTER cruft is off.

Fixes tag is a common ancestor, this was always broken.

rbd: eliminate a race in lockdwork draining on unmap

Given how rbdlockaddrequest() and rbdimgexclusivelock() are written, lockdwork may be (re)queued more than it's actually needed: for example in case a new I/O request comes in while we are in the middle of rbdacquirelock() on behalf of another I/O request. This is expected and with rbdreleaselock() preemptively canceling lockdwork is benign under normal operation.

A more problematic example is maybekickacquire():

if (haverequests || delayedworkpending(&rbddev->lockdwork)) { dout("%s rbddev %p kicking lockdwork\n", func, rbddev); moddelayedwork(rbddev->taskwq, &rbddev->lockdwork, 0); }

It's not unrealistic for lockdwork to get canceled right after delayedworkpending() returns true and for moddelayedwork() to requeue it right there anyway. This is a classic TOCTOU race.

When it comes to unmapping the image, there is an implicit assumption of no self-initiated exclusive lock activity past the point of return from rbddevimageunlock() which unlocks the lock if it happens to be held. This unlock is assumed to be final and lockdwork (as well as all other exclusive lock tasks, really) isn't expected to get queued again. However, lockdwork is canceled only in canceltaskssync() (i.e. later in the unmap sequence) and on top of that the cancellation can get in effect nullified by maybekickacquire(). This may result in rbdacquirelock() executing after rbddevdevicerelease() and rbddevimagerelease() run and free and/or reset a bunch of things. One of the possible failure modes then is a violated

rbdassert(rbdimageformatvalid(rbddev->imageformat));

in rbddevheaderinfo() which is called via rbddevrefresh() from rbdpostacquireaction().

Redo exclusive lock task draining to provide saner semantics and try to meet the assumptions around rbddevimageunlock().

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

wifi: mac80211: capture fast-RX rate before mesh reuses skb->cb

ieee80211invokefastrx() reads RX status through IEEE80211SKBRXCB(skb), which aliases the same skb->cb storage that ieee80211rxmeshdata() reuses as IEEE80211TXINFO. In the unicast forward path, meshdata does:

info = IEEE80211SKBCB(fwdskb); memset(info, 0, sizeof(info));

on the same skb the caller still names via rx->skb, then either queues the skb for TX (success) or kfreeskb()'s it (no-route) before returning RXQUEUED. The caller's RXQUEUED arm then calls stastatsencoderate(status) on memory that is either zeroed (success path) or freed (no-route path). The latter is KASAN slab-use-after-free in ieee80211prepareandrxhandle.

Fix by encoding the rate from status before invoking ieee80211rxmeshdata(), so the RXQUEUED arm consumes a value captured while status was still backed by valid memory.

net/mlx5e: xsk: Fix DMA and xdpframe leak on XDPTX xmit failure

In the XSK branch of mlx5exmitxdpbuff(), when sq->xmitxdpframe() returns false (e.g. XDPSQ is full), the function returns without unmapping the DMA address or freeing the xdpframe allocated by xdpconvertzctoxdpframe(). The xdpififo push only happens on success, so the completion path cannot recover these entries.

With CONFIGDMAAPIDEBUG=y, the leak surfaces on driver unbind:

net: team: fix NULL pointer dereference in teamxmit during mode change

teamchangemode() clears team->ops with memset() before restoring safe dummy handlers via teamadjustops(). A concurrent teamxmit() running under RCU on another CPU can read team->ops.transmit during this window and call a NULL function pointer, crashing the kernel.

The race requires a mode change (CAPNETADMIN) concurrent with transmit on the team device.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI RIP: 0010:0x0 Call Trace: teamxmit (drivers/net/team/teamcore.c:1853) devhardstartxmit (net/core/dev.c:3904) devqueuexmit (net/core/dev.c:4871) packetsendmsg (net/packet/afpacket.c:3109) syssendto (net/socket.c:2265)

The original code assumed that no ports means no traffic, so mode changes could freely memset()/memcpy() the ops. AFPACKET with forced carrier breaks that assumption.

Prevent the race instead of making it safe: replace memset()/memcpy() with per-field updates that never touch transmit or receive. Those two handlers are managed solely by teamadjustops(), which already installs dummies when txenportcount == 0 (always true during mode change since no ports are present). WRITEONCE/READONCE prevent store/load tearing on the handler pointers.

synchronizenet() before exitop() drains in-flight readers that may still reference old mode state from before port removal switched the handlers to dummies.

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

USB: serial: ioti: fix heap overflow in getmanufinfo()

getmanufinfo() reads le16tocpu(romdesc->Size) bytes from the device I2C EEPROM into a buffer allocated with kmallocobj(), which is sizeof(struct edgetimanufdescriptor) = 10 bytes.

The Size field comes from the device and is only validated (in checki2cimage()) to make sure the descriptor fits within TIMAXI2CSIZE (16384 bytes), not against the destination buffer size. A malicious USB device can therefore set Size to any value up to 16377, causing a heap overflow of up to 16367 bytes when plugged into a host running this driver.

validcsum() is called after readrom() and also iterates buffer[0..Size-1], compounding the out-of-bounds access.

Fix by rejecting descriptors with unexpected length before calling readrom().

KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Drop the translation cache reference only for the erased entry

vgicitsinvalidatecache() walks the per-ITS translation cache with xaforeach() and drops the cache's reference on each entry with vgicputirq(). It puts the iterated pointer, though, rather than the value returned by xaerase().

The function is called from contexts that do not exclude one another: the ITS command handlers hold itslock, the GITSCTLR write path holds cmdlock, and the path that clears EnableLPIs in a redistributor's GICRCTLR holds neither. Two or more of them can drain the same cache concurrently, and if each one observes the same entry, erases it and then puts it, the single reference the cache holds on that entry is dropped more than once. The entry can then be freed while an ITE still maps it.

xaerase() is atomic and returns the previous entry, so put only the entry that this context actually removed. The cache reference is then dropped exactly once per entry even when the invalidations run concurrently, and the behavior is unchanged when only one context runs.

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

net/mlx5e: xsk: Fix unlocked writing to ICOSQ

During napi poll, when the affinity changes and there's still XSK work to be done, we trigger an ICOSQ interrupt on the new CPU. However, this triggering on the ICOSQ is done unprotected.

There are 2 such races:

A) mlx5etriggerirq() is called while mlx5exskallocrxmpwqe() is running from a different CPU due to affinity change. This can happen because IRQ triggering is done after napicompletedone(). At this point the NAPI can be scheduled on a different CPU. Like this:

CPU A (old affinity, NAPI tail) CPU B (new affinity, fresh NAPI) ------------------------------- -------------------------------- napicompletedone() clears SCHED mlx5ecqarm(...) napischeduleprep() sets SCHED mlx5enapipoll() mlx5exskallocrxmpwqe() mlx5eicosqsynclock() // noop memcpy 640 B UMR body advance sq->pc by 10 mlx5etriggerirq(&c->icosq) wqeinfo[pi] = {NOP, 1} mlx5epostnop() advances sq->pc

B) mlx5etriggerirq() is called on the ICOSQ when mlx5etriggernapiicosq() is running.

The obvious fix would be to lock the ICOSQ. But ICOSQ has an optimized locking scheme that doesn't work for this scenario. Kick the async ICOSQ instead which is always locked.

This issue was noticed in the wild with the following splat:

mm/listlru: drain before clearing xarray entry on reparent

memcgreparentlistlrus() clears the dying memcg's xarray entry with xasstore(&xas, NULL) before reparenting its per-node lists into the parent. This opens a window where a concurrent listlrudel() arriving for the dying memcg sees xaload() == NULL, walks to the parent in locklistlruofmemcg(), takes the parent's per-node lock, and calls listdelinit() on an item still physically linked on the dying memcg's list.

If another in-flight thread holds the dying memcg's per-node lock at the same moment (another listlrudel, or a listlruwalkone running an isolate callback), both threads modify ->next/->prev pointers on the same physical list under different locks. Adjacent items can corrupt each other's links.

Fix it by reversing the order: reparent each per-node list and mark the child's list lru dead and then clear the xarray entry. Any concurrent listlru op that finds the still-set xarray entry either takes the dying memcg's per-node lock (synchronizing with the drain) or sees LONGMIN and walks to the parent, where the items now live.

xsk: cache csumstart/csumoffset to fix TOCTOU in xskskbmetadata()

The TX metadata area resides in the UMEM buffer which is memory-mapped and concurrently writable by userspace. In xskskbmetadata(), csumstart and csumoffset are read from shared memory for bounds validation, then read again for skb assignment. A malicious userspace application can race to overwrite these values between the two reads, bypassing the bounds check and causing out-of-bounds memory access during checksum computation in the transmit path.

Fix this by reading csumstart and csumoffset into local variables once, then using the local copies for both validation and assignment.

Note that other metadata fields (flags, launchtime) and the cached csum fields may be mutually inconsistent due to concurrent userspace writes, but this is benign: the only security-critical invariant is that each field's validated value is the same one used, which local caching guarantees.

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

ksmbd: fix FSCTL permission bypass by adding a permission check for FSCTLSETSPARSE

FSCTLSETSPARSE in fsctlsetsparse() modifies the file's sparse attribute and saves it through xattr without any permission checks.

This exposes two issues:

1) A client on a read-only share can change the sparse attribute on files it opened, even though the share is read-only. Other FSCTL write operations already check testtreeconnflag(work->tcon, KSMBDTREECONNFLAGWRITABLE), but FSCTLSETSPARSE does not.

2) Even on writable shares, clients without FILEWRITEDATA or FILEWRITEATTRIBUTES access should not modify the sparse attribute. Similar handle-level checks exist in other functions but are missing here.

Add both share-level writable check and per-handle access check. Use goto out on error to avoid leaking file references.

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

signal: clear JOBCTLPENDINGMASK for caller in zapotherthreads()

When a multi-threaded process receives a stop signal (e.g., SIGSTOP), dosignalstop() sets JOBCTLSTOPPENDING and JOBCTLSTOPCONSUME on all threads and sets signal->groupstopcount to the number of threads. If one of the threads concurrently calls execve(), dethread() invokes zapotherthreads() to kill all other threads. zapotherthreads() aborts the pending group stop by resetting signal->groupstopcount to 0 and clears the JOBCTLPENDINGMASK for all other threads. However, it fails to clear the job control flags for the calling thread.

When execve() completes, the calling thread returns to user mode and checks for pending signals. Seeing the stale JOBCTLSTOPPENDING flag, it calls dosignalstop(), which invokes taskparticipategroupstop(). Since JOBCTLSTOPCONSUME is still set, it attempts to decrement the already-zero signal->groupstopcount, triggering a warning:

sig->groupstopcount == 0 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6475 at kernel/signal.c:373 taskparticipategroupstop+0x215/0x2d0 Call Trace: <TASK> dosignalstop+0x3be/0x5c0 kernel/signal.c:2619 getsignal+0xa8c/0x1330 kernel/signal.c:2884 archdosignalorrestart+0xbc/0x840 arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:337 exittousermodeloop+0x8c/0x4d0 kernel/entry/common.c:98 dosyscall64+0x33e/0xf80 arch/x86/entry/syscall64.c:100 entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe+0x77/0x7f </TASK>

Fix this race condition by clearing the JOBCTLPENDINGMASK for the calling thread in zapotherthreads(), ensuring it does not retain any stale job control state after the thread group is destroyed. This aligns with other functions that tear down a thread group and abort group stops, such as zapprocess() and completesignal(), which correctly clear these flags for all threads including the current one.
