In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: qcom: gdsc: tear down per-domain genpds in gdsc_unregister() gdsc_unregister() removes the OF provider entry and tears down the parent/subdomain wiring, but never calls pm_genpd_remove() on the individual generic_pm_domain structures registered by gdsc_init(): void gdsc_unregister(struct gdsc_desc *desc) { struct device *dev = desc->dev; size_t num = desc->num; gdsc_pm_subdomain_remove(desc, num); of_genpd_del_provider(dev->of_no…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers check_ptr_to_btf_access() lets program-type btf_struct_access callbacks validate writes before the default BTF access path rejects non-read accesses. That bypasses the read-only policy for untrusted BTF pointers created by helpers such as bpf_rdonly_cast(). Reject non-read accesses through PTR_UNTRUSTED BTF pointers at the common entry point, before the callback branch to handle all cases.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: media: ipu7: fix pm_runtime refcount leak in ipu7_resume() ipu7_resume() calls pm_runtime_get_sync() before resuming the device. If the runtime PM resume fails, the usage count remains incremented, but the error path returns without dropping the reference. Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() instead, which balances the usage count on failure and avoids the leak. Keep returning 0 on error, as resume callbacks should not propagate failures to…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/drivers/rcar: Fix error checking in probe() This code accidentally calls thermal_zone_device_enable() before checking whether thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() failed. Move the call until later to avoid an error pointer dereference of "priv->zone". The driver works differently depending on if we are using OF thermal or not. We use thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs() if we are using OF thermal and call thermal_zone_device_enable() if not.…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: r8a66597: avoid double free of ep0_req in probe error path If usb_add_gadget_udc() fails, r8a66597_probe() jumps to err_add_udc and frees ep0_req, then falls through to clean_up2 where ep0_req is freed again when it is non-NULL. Remove the redundant free from err_add_udc and keep the cleanup in clean_up2 so the request is released exactly once. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool and confirmed by code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udf: Mark LVID buffer as uptodate before marking it dirty When an I/O error occurs while writing the Logical Volume Integrity Descriptor (LVID) buffer to the block device, the block layer's completion handler (`end_buffer_write_sync()`) clears the `BH_Uptodate` flag on the buffer. However, the buffer still contains valid LVID data in memory. If the filesystem is subsequently remounted read-write or synced, `udf_open_lvid()` or `udf_sync_fs()` wil…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/mes: Fix hung_queue_db_array loop limit for multi-XCC The loop iterated only AMDGPU_MAX_MES_PIPES times, leaving entries uninitialized for multi-XCC GPUs. This causes null pointer dereferences when accessing arrays indexed by XCC ID >= 2. Extend the loop to cover all XCCs (AMDGPU_MAX_MES_PIPES * num_xcc), matching other per-XCC arrays.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix vmlinux BTF prep race in bpf_get_btf_vmlinux bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() lazily parses the vmlinux BTF under the bpf_verifier_lock, but publishes the result through a plain store and re-checks it through a plain lockless load. Nothing orders the stores initializing the struct btf inside btf_parse_vmlinux() against the store publishing the pointer: On a weakly ordered arch, a concurrent first-time caller taking the lockless fast path could in p…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix use-after-free on mm_struct in bpf_find_vma() bpf_find_vma() reads task->mm and calls mmap_read_trylock(mm) without holding a reference on the mm. On a foreign task, a concurrent exit_mm() can free the mm_struct between the lockless read and the trylock, resulting in a use-after-free. mm_struct is not SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. For the current task, task->mm is stable. For a foreign task, pin the mm under task->alloc_lock and release it with…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bus: mhi: ep: Fix device refcount leak in the error path of MHI device creation mhi_ep_create_device() takes one device reference for the UL channel and another for the DL channel after allocating the transfer device. These references are normally released by mhi_ep_destroy_device() before the device itself is removed. If dev_set_name() or device_add() fails, the error path currently drops only one reference. The remaining channel references kee…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject programs with inlined helpers if JIT is not available When an architecture (such as LoongArch, ARM64, and RISC-V) implements bpf_jit_inlines_helper_call(), the verifier skips rewriting the helper call offset (insn->imm) in bpf_do_misc_fixups(). This is because the helper is expected to be inlined by the JIT compiler later. Therefore, insn->imm remains as the raw helper enum ID. However, if JIT is disabled at runtime (net.core.bpf_jit…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: printk: Fix possible console use-after-free When emitting a record via legacy printing, it is possible that a handover to another legacy printing context occurs. When a context has performed a handover, the console SRCU read lock is released and the pointer to the console struct might now be invalid. Therefore, after calling nbcon_legacy_emit_next_record() or console_emit_next_record(), it is necessary to check if a handover occurred _before_ fur…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: RISC-V: Check acpi_get_handle() status in riscv_acpi_add_prt_dep() In riscv_acpi_add_prt_dep(), the acpi_get_handle() call can fail which would leave link_handle uninitialized. Fix it by checking the acpi_get_handle() return status and skip the entry if it fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: RISC-V: Fix riscv_acpi_add_prt_dep() loop handling The loop in riscv_acpi_add_prt_dep() includes error conditions that are handled in a dubious - if not outright wrong - way, by continuining the loop (which skips and misses the entry pointer update to point to the next entry). Rewrite the loop as a for loop (that handles the continuation correctly) and wrap the condition and update statements using helper functions to make it cleaner.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: dell-privacy: Fix race condition Accessing priv->features_present needs to happen with the list mutex being held, otherwise priv can be freed at any moment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: dell-wmi-base: Fix resource leak on module load failure We need to properly clean up the SMBIOS request and the privacy driver when the module load fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: dell-wmi-base: Fix handling of ultra performance key The commit message of commit 5fbd827eb9c2 ("platform/x86: dell-wmi: Recognise or support new switches") states that the ultra performance key contains additional data after the type and code fields. The event data passed to dell_wmi_process_key() is already parsed, so "buffer" already starts after those two fields. Use the correct index for accessing the first data field to avoid…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: lg-laptop: Fix LED resource handling The event notification callback might access kbd_backlight even when it was not successfully registered with the LED subsystem. The same happens inside acpi_remove(), where the LED devices are unregistered unconditionally. Fix this by tracking the availability of the kbd_backlight LED device and use devm_led_classdev_register() to let devres take care of unregistering the LED devices during remo…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Drop scalar id on sign-extending narrowing stack fills When a spilled scalar is filled back with a sign-extending narrowing load (BPF_MEMSX), check_stack_read_fixed_off() copies the spilled register including its scalar id, but coerce_reg_to_size_sx() then sign-extends the filled register's value. If the same slot is also filled with a plain zero-extending load (BPF_MEM), both destination registers share the id yet hold different values. A l…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_adsp: Fix reference leak for device node When calling of_parse_phandle_with_args(), the caller is responsible to call of_node_put() to release the reference of device node. In adsp_map_carveout, it does not release the reference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject rdonly/rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments that exceed u32 max check_kfunc_args() detects a kfunc argument named rdonly_buf_size or rdwr_buf_size and stores reg->var_off.value into meta->r0_size, a u64, and does not bound it. check_kfunc_call() later copies that value into the returned register's mem_size field: meta->r0_size = reg->var_off.value; ... regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size = meta.r0_size; regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size is u32. A consta…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: asus-wireless: Fail probe when there is no ACPI match Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that does not match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device ACPI companion object need to verify its presence. asus_wireless_probe() returns success when acpi_match_acpi_device() finds no match, leaving behind an input device that never repor…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: qcom-geni: do not advance stale DMA completions The qcom GENI serial DMA TX completion path advances the transmit fifo by the number of bytes recorded in port->tx_remaining. If uart_flush_buffer() runs after the hardware has completed a DMA transfer but before the DMA completion interrupt has been handled, the serial core resets the transmit fifo while port->tx_remaining still describes the old DMA transfer. A previous fix avoided advan…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: uac: validate rate list length before storing UAC1 and UAC2 configfs rate-list attributes parse a comma-separated list of sampling rates and store each parsed value in fixed-size arrays. The arrays have UAC_MAX_RATES entries, but the store paths do not check that the input contains at most that many tokens before writing through opts->name##s[i++]. Writing more than ten rates therefore writes past the end of the p_srates[] or c_srat…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix fence cleanup in ffs_dmabuf_transfer() error paths The error paths for endpoint-disabled (ESHUTDOWN) and request-allocation failure (ENOMEM) in ffs_dmabuf_transfer() jump to err_fence_put which calls dma_fence_put() on the fence. However, at that point the fence has only been kmalloc'd — dma_fence_init() has not been called yet, so the refcount and the fence ops are uninitialized. Calling dma_fence_put() on such an object l…
