In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: configfs: fix out-of-bounds read of qw_sign os_desc_qw_sign_show() passes OS_STRING_QW_SIGN_LEN as the input length to utf16s_to_utf8s(), but that argument counts UTF-16 code units while OS_STRING_QW_SIGN_LEN (14) is the byte size of qw_sign[]. The array holds only OS_STRING_QW_SIGN_LEN / 2 (7) code units, so the conversion reads up to 7 units (14 bytes) past the end of qw_sign[] into the following members of struct gadget_info when …

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: ljca: bound bank_num in ljca_enumerate_gpio() ljca_enumerate_gpio() reads desc->bank_num from the device and loops valid_pin[i] = get_unaligned_le32(...) for i < bank_num. valid_pin[] holds only LJCA_MAX_GPIO_NUM / 32 = 2 entries. Two checks run before the loop. The reply length must match struct_size(desc, bank_desc, bank_num). The product pins_per_bank * bank_num must not exceed LJCA_MAX_GPIO_NUM. Neither one bounds bank_num against the s…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: aspeed_udc: check endpoint DMA allocation ast_udc_probe() allocates a coherent DMA buffer used as the backing store for endpoint buffers. ast_udc_init_ep() derives per-endpoint buffer pointers from udc->ep0_buf, so a failed allocation is dereferenced during probe. Check the allocation before endpoint setup. The existing probe error path called ast_udc_remove(), which unregisters the gadget unconditionally and is not safe before usb_…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: fix UAF when probe runs concurrent to dyn ID removal Dynamic IDs are only guaranteed to be valid when usb_dynids_lock is held, as remove_id_store can free the node. Thus, make a copy in usb_probe_interface. Clarify the documentation that the id parameter is only valid during the probe. USB serial has the same pattern, but it does not need fixing as the IDs cannot be removed via sysfs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: asus-wmi: fix resource leaks on probe failure During driver initialization in asus_wmi_add(), various subsystems are registered sequentially. However, the error path labels are out of order relative to the registration sequence. Specifically: 1. If asus_wmi_custom_fan_curve_init() fails, the driver jumps to fail_custom_fan_curve. Because this label is placed below fail_sysfs, it bypasses the cleanup calls for the input device…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion object need to verify its presence. mlxbf_pmc_probe() passes the result of ACPI_COMPANION() to acpi_device_hid(), which dereferences it, so force-binding the driver to …

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/surface: acpi-notify: Check ACPI companion before use Since every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion object should verify its presence. san_probe() dereferences the result of ACPI_COMPANION() when installing the GSBUS address space handler, so force-binding the driver …

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: qcom: camcc-sc8280xp: unregister CAMCC_GDSC_CLK With the introduction of sync_state support in the clk and pmdomain subsystems, the following warning happens when the unused clocks are shutdown in camcc-sc8280xp: [ 15.408367] titan_top_gdsc status stuck at 'on' [ 15.408429] WARNING: drivers/clk/qcom/gdsc.c:178 at gdsc_toggle_logic+0x14c/0x160, CPU#2: kworker/u32:1/14 [ 15.408462] Modules linked in: bnep vfat fat ath11k_pci…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Require a BPF cpumask for bpf_cpumask_populate() bpf_cpumask_populate() writes to its destination with bitmap_copy(), but the destination is typed as struct cpumask *. That allows the verifier to accept borrowed cpumask pointers returned by read-only kfuncs, such as scx_bpf_get_online_cpumask(), as a writable destination. Make the destination a struct bpf_cpumask * so populate follows the same ownership rule as the other mutating cpumask kf…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Mark tracing_multi trampolines as ftrace managed Since tracing_multi link does not set ftrace_managed, it would fail to release the tracing_multi link when attaching tracing_multi link and then attaching fentry link. [ 3.714215] WARNING: kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:1727 at bpf_trampoline_multi_detach+0x20b/0x240, CPU#1: test_progs/97 ...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/core: Wait for RCU callbacks before unloading ib_core put_gid_ndev() is queued with call_rcu() and implemented in ib_core. Stopping the workqueues does not drain callbacks already queued, so RCU could invoke it after the module code has been unloaded. synchronize_rcu() does not wait for callbacks. Wait for them after all producers have stopped.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mlx5: Drain RCU callbacks during module teardown devx_free_subscription() can remain queued after the last DevX event file drops its module reference or an auxiliary driver detaches its devices. mlx5_ib can then unload before the callback runs. Registration error unwind has the same risk because driver registration can attach existing devices before failing. Wait after all drivers have stopped.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/ipoib: Drain RCU callbacks during module teardown IPoIB reclamation completions can be signaled from inside an RCU callback. Teardown can wake before the callback returns and unload ib_ipoib while its code is still executing. Client registration failure can also remove already-added devices and queue callbacks. Wait after client and workqueue teardown.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Avoid reprocessing the current packet after the QP enters the error state When do_complete() finds the QP in the error state it returns RESPST_CHK_RESOURCE. Before commit 49dc9c1f0c7e ("RDMA/rxe: Cleanup reset state handling in rxe_resp.c") this was the flush loop: check_resource() had an error-state branch that fetched each remaining recv WQE and completed it with IB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR, without touching the current packet. That commit r…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crash_dump: release keyring reference at the correct time restore_dm_crypt_keys_to_thread_keyring() gets a reference to the user keyring before restoring the saved dm-crypt keys. The same keyring reference is then passed to add_key_to_keyring() for each saved key, but add_key_to_keyring() drops that reference on every call. This is only balanced when exactly one key is restored. With multiple keys, the keyring reference is dropped too many times…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: esp: do not unref managed frag pages in esp_ssg_unref() esp_ssg_unref() releases the page references held on the source scatterlist after the AEAD operation completes. It calls skb_page_unref() on every frag page for an out-of-place transform (req->src != req->dst), and in the error path of esp_output_tail() (already_unref == true) on the request's own scatterlist. This is wrong when the skb carries managed frags (SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS). Man…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rvt: Return NULL after port allocation failure rvt_alloc_device() deallocates the IB device when its port array cannot be allocated but then returns the pointer to the released allocation. Callers treat any non-NULL value as valid and dereference it, resulting in a use-after-free. Return NULL immediately after deallocation so callers can propagate the allocation failure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hfi1: Preserve unit 0 on allocation failure hfi1_free_devdata() assumes that the device was inserted into the unit table and unconditionally erases dd->unit. If xa_alloc_irq() fails, the zero-initialized unit remains zero, so full cleanup can remove an unrelated device from index 0. Release only the rdmavt allocation and return immediately while the unit table has not acquired the device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hfi1: Free RX data on late probe failure hfi1_init_dd() allocates the shared AIP/VNIC RX support before returning. If hfi1_init() or hfi1_register_ib_device() later fails, init_one() tears down the device data without calling hfi1_free_rx(). This leaks netdev_rx and its dummy netdev. Free the RX support after IB unregistration and before postinit_cleanup(), as done on normal device removal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: v4l2-async: Unregister sub-device if asc_list is empty When my em28xx USB device that uses the i2c tvp5150 driver is disconnected, it crashes. The cause is that the tvp5150 i2c module uses v4l2_async, but the em28xx driver does not since it predates v4l2_async. In that corner case sd->asc_list is empty, so v4l2_async_unregister_subdev() never calls v4l2_device_unregister_subdev(). Modify the code so that, if sd->asc_list is empty, v4l2_…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/resctrl: Prevent use-after-free in rdtgroup_kn_put() A struct rdtgroup is reference counted via rdtgroup::waitcount. Callers that need the structure to remain valid across a sleep (while waiting on acquiring rdtgroup_mutex) take a reference with rdtgroup_kn_get() and release it with rdtgroup_kn_put(). The release path is intended to serve as the fallback freer: if the count drops to zero and the group has already been marked RDT_DELETED, rdtg…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/resctrl: Fix UAF from worker threads when domains are removed The mbm_handle_overflow() and cqm_handle_limbo() workers read event counters and may sleep while doing so. They are scheduled via delayed_work embedded in struct rdt_l3_mon_domain. Architecture allocates and frees these domains from CPU hotplug callbacks under cpus_write_lock(), and the workers acquire cpus_read_lock() to keep the domain alive across their access. A use-after-free …

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rpmsg: glink: fix deadlock in endpoint destroy during driver detach During driver detach, the device core holds the device mutex throughout the driver's remove callback chain. When the rpmsg endpoint is destroyed as part of that teardown, the GLINK endpoint destroy implementation attempts to unregister the underlying rpmsg device. That unregistration calls device_del(), which tries to re-acquire the same device mutex already held higher up the s…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/mbox: Break poison list loop on an empty payload A device that returns count == 0 with CXL_POISON_FLAG_MORE set on every iteration never advances nr_records, so the max_errors guard never trips and the do/while loops forever while holding poison.mutex. That hangs the sysfs-triggered scan thread and blocks all subsequent poison operations on the device. The existing "Protect against an uncleared _FLAG_MORE" guard was intended to bound a misbeh…

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/features: Serialize multi-part Get/Set Feature transfers A Get or Set Feature payload larger than the mailbox payload size is split into several mailbox commands. mbox_mutex only serializes individual mailbox commands and is dropped between iterations of these loops. Nothing serializes the multi-part transfer as a whole. cxl_get_feature() and cxl_set_feature() are reachable concurrently from fwctl (per-fd RPCs run under a read-held registrati…
