In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmasm: fix OOB reads in command_file_write due to missing size checks
The command_file_write() handler allocates a kernel buffer of exactly
count bytes and copies user data into it, but does not validate the
buffer against the dot command protocol before passing it to
get_dot_command_size() and get_dot_command_timeout().
Since both the allocation size (count) and the header fields (command_size,
data_size) are independently user-controlled, an attacker can cause
get_dot_command_size() to return a value exceeding the allocation,
triggering OOB reads in get_dot_command_timeout() and an out-of-bounds
memcpy_toio() that leaks kernel heap memory to the service processor.
Fix with two guards: reject writes smaller than sizeof(struct
dot_command_header) before allocation, then after copying user data
reject commands where the buffer is smaller than the total size declared
by the header (sizeof(header) + command_size + data_size). This ensures
all subsequent header and payload field accesses stay within the buffer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Add spectre boundry for syscall dispatch table
The LoongArch syscall number is directly controlled by userspace, but
does not have a array_index_nospec() boundry to prevent access past the
syscall function pointer tables.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: fix partition descriptor append bookkeeping
Mounting a crafted UDF image with repeated partition descriptors can
trigger a heap out-of-bounds write in part_descs_loc[].
handle_partition_descriptor() deduplicates entries by partition number,
but appended slots never record partnum. As a result duplicate
Partition Descriptors are appended repeatedly and num_part_descs keeps
growing.
Once the table is full, the growth path still sizes the allocation from
partnum even though inserts are indexed by num_part_descs. If partnum is
already aligned to PART_DESC_ALLOC_STEP, ALIGN(partnum, step) can keep
the old capacity and the next append writes past the end of the table.
Store partnum in the appended slot and size growth from the next append
count so deduplication and capacity tracking follow the same model.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
slub: fix data loss and overflow in krealloc()
Commit 2cd8231796b5 ("mm/slub: allow to set node and align in
k[v]realloc") introduced the ability to force a reallocation if the
original object does not satisfy new alignment or NUMA node, even when
the object is being shrunk.
This introduced two bugs in the reallocation fallback path:
1. Data loss during NUMA migration: The jump to 'alloc_new' happens
before 'ks' and 'orig_size' are initialized. As a result, the
memcpy() in the 'alloc_new' block would copy 0 bytes into the new
allocation.
2. Buffer overflow during shrinking: When shrinking an object while
forcing a new alignment, 'new_size' is smaller than the old size.
However, the memcpy() used the old size ('orig_size ?: ks'), leading
to an out-of-bounds write.
The same overflow bug exists in the kvrealloc() fallback path, where the
old bucket size ksize(p) is copied into the new buffer without being
bounded by the new size.
A simple reproducer:
// e.g. add to lkdtm as KREALLOC_SHRINK_OVERFLOW
while (1) {
void *p = kmalloc(128, GFP_KERNEL);
p = krealloc_node_align(p, 64, 256, GFP_KERNEL, NUMA_NO_NODE);
kfree(p);
}
demonstrates the issue:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: unittest: fix use-after-free in testdrv_probe()
The function testdrv_probe() retrieves the device_node from the PCI
device, applies an overlay, and then immediately calls of_node_put(dn).
This releases the reference held by the PCI core, potentially freeing
the node if the reference count drops to zero. Later, the same freed
pointer 'dn' is passed to of_platform_default_populate(), leading to a
use-after-free.
The reference to pdev->dev.of_node is owned by the device model and
should not be released by the driver. Remove the erroneous of_node_put()
to prevent premature freeing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix re-decryption of RESPONSE packets
If a RESPONSE packet gets a temporary failure during processing, it may end
up in a partially decrypted state - and then get requeued for a retry.
Fix this by just discarding the packet; we will send another CHALLENGE
packet and thereby elicit a further response. Similarly, discard an
incoming CHALLENGE packet if we get an error whilst generating a RESPONSE;
the server will send another CHALLENGE.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nSVM: Sync interrupt shadow to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN of L2
After VMRUN in guest mode, nested_sync_control_from_vmcb02() syncs
fields written by the CPU from vmcb02 to the cached vmcb12. This is
because the cached vmcb12 is used as the authoritative copy of some of
the controls, and is the payload when saving/restoring nested state.
int_state is also written by the CPU, specifically bit 0 (i.e.
SVM_INTERRUPT_SHADOW_MASK) for nested VMs, but it is not sync'd to
cached vmcb12. This does not cause a problem if KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
preceeds KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS in the restore path, as an interrupt shadow
would be correctly restored to vmcb02 (KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS overwrites
what KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE restored in int_state).
However, if KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS preceeds KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE, an
interrupt shadow would be restored into vmcb01 instead of vmcb02. This
would mostly be benign for L1 (delays an interrupt), but not for L2. For
L2, the vCPU could hang (e.g. if a wakeup interrupt is delivered before
a HLT that should have been in an interrupt shadow).
Sync int_state to the cached vmcb12 in nested_sync_control_from_vmcb02()
to avoid this problem. With that, KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE restores the
correct interrupt shadow state, and if KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS follows it
would overwrite it with the same value.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccree - fix a memory leak in cc_mac_digest()
Add cc_unmap_result() if cc_map_hash_request_final()
fails to prevent potential memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't set EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT when splitting before submitting I/O
When allocating blocks during within-EOF DIO and writeback with
dioread_nolock enabled, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PRE_IO was set to split an
existing large unwritten extent. However, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT was
set when calling ext4_split_convert_extents(), which may potentially
result in stale data issues.
Assume we have an unwritten extent, and then DIO writes the second half.
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] on-disk extent U: unwritten extent
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] extent status tree
|<- ->| ----> dio write this range
First, ext4_iomap_alloc() call ext4_map_blocks() with
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PRE_IO, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_UNWRIT_EXT and
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CREATE flags set. ext4_map_blocks() find this extent and
call ext4_split_convert_extents() with EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT and the
above flags set.
Then, ext4_split_convert_extents() calls ext4_split_extent() with
EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT, EXT4_EXT_MARK_UNWRIT2 and EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID2
flags set, and it calls ext4_split_extent_at() to split the second half
with EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID2, EXT4_EXT_MARK_UNWRIT1, EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT
and EXT4_EXT_MARK_UNWRIT2 flags set. However, ext4_split_extent_at()
failed to insert extent since a temporary lack -ENOSPC. It zeroes out
the first half but convert the entire on-disk extent to written since
the EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID2 flag set, but left the second half as unwritten
in the extent status tree.
[0000000000SSSSSS] data S: stale data, 0: zeroed
[WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW] on-disk extent W: written extent
[WWWWWWWWWWUUUUUU] extent status tree
Finally, if the DIO failed to write data to the disk, the stale data in
the second half will be exposed once the cached extent entry is gone.
Fix this issue by not passing EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT when splitting
an unwritten extent before submitting I/O, and make
ext4_split_convert_extents() to zero out the entire extent range
to zero for this case, and also mark the extent in the extent status
tree for consistency.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Fix use-after-free in iomap inline data write path
The inline data buffer head (dibh) is being released prematurely in
gfs2_iomap_begin() via release_metapath() while iomap->inline_data
still points to dibh->b_data. This causes a use-after-free when
iomap_write_end_inline() later attempts to write to the inline data
area.
The bug sequence:
1. gfs2_iomap_begin() calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer() to read inode
metadata into dibh
2. Sets iomap->inline_data = dibh->b_data + sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode)
3. Calls release_metapath() which calls brelse(dibh), dropping refcount
to 0
4. kswapd reclaims the page (~39ms later in the syzbot report)
5. iomap_write_end_inline() tries to memcpy() to iomap->inline_data
6. KASAN detects use-after-free write to freed memory
Fix by storing dibh in iomap->private and incrementing its refcount
with get_bh() in gfs2_iomap_begin(). The buffer is then properly
released in gfs2_iomap_end() after the inline write completes,
ensuring the page stays alive for the entire iomap operation.
Note: A C reproducer is not available for this issue. The fix is based
on analysis of the KASAN report and code review showing the buffer head
is freed before use.
[agruenba: Take buffer head reference in gfs2_iomap_begin() to avoid
leaks in gfs2_iomap_get() and gfs2_iomap_alloc().]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: never defer requests during idmap lookup
During v4 request compound arg decoding, some ops (e.g. SETATTR)
can trigger idmap lookup upcalls. When those upcall responses get
delayed beyond the allowed time limit, cache_check() will mark the
request for deferral and cause it to be dropped.
This prevents nfs4svc_encode_compoundres from being executed, and
thus the session slot flag NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE never gets cleared.
Subsequent client requests will fail with NFSERR_JUKEBOX, given
that the slot will be marked as in-use, making the SEQUENCE op
fail.
Fix this by making sure that the RQ_USEDEFERRAL flag is always
clear during nfs4svc_decode_compoundargs(), since no v4 request
should ever be deferred.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch()
Cover a missed execution path with a new check.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cio: Fix device lifecycle handling in css_alloc_subchannel()
`css_alloc_subchannel()` calls `device_initialize()` before setting up
the DMA masks. If `dma_set_coherent_mask()` or `dma_set_mask()` fails,
the error path frees the subchannel structure directly, bypassing
the device model reference counting.
Once `device_initialize()` has been called, the embedded struct device
must be released via `put_device()`, allowing the release callback to
free the container structure.
Fix the error path by dropping the initial device reference with
`put_device()` instead of calling `kfree()` directly.
This ensures correct device lifetime handling and avoids potential
use-after-free or double-free issues.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Stop job scheduling across aie2_release_resource()
Running jobs on a hardware context while it is in the process of
releasing resources can lead to use-after-free and crashes.
Fix this by stopping job scheduling before calling
aie2_release_resource() and restarting it after the release completes.
Additionally, aie2_sched_job_run() now checks whether the hardware
context is still active.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: clean up the amdgpu_cs_parser_bos
In low memory conditions, kmalloc can fail. In such conditions
unlock the mutex for a clean exit.
We do not need to amdgpu_bo_list_put as it's been handled in the
amdgpu_cs_parser_fini.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: greybus: lights: avoid NULL deref
gb_lights_light_config() stores channel_count before allocating the
channels array. If kcalloc() fails, gb_lights_release() iterates the
non-zero count and dereferences light->channels, which is NULL.
Allocate channels first and only then publish channels_count so the
cleanup path can't walk a NULL pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbnic: close fw_log race between users and teardown
Fixes a theoretical race on fw_log between the teardown path and fw_log
write functions.
fw_log is written inside fbnic_fw_log_write() and can be reached from
the mailbox handler fbnic_fw_msix_intr(), but fw_log is freed before
IRQ/MBX teardown during cleanup, resulting in a potential data race of
dereferencing a freed/null variable.
Possible Interleaving Scenario:
CPU0: fbnic_fw_msix_intr() // Entry
fbnic_fw_log_write()
if (fbnic_fw_log_ready()) // true
... preempt ...
CPU1: fbnic_remove() // Entry
fbnic_fw_log_free()
vfree(log->data_start);
log->data_start = NULL;
CPU0: continues, walks log->entries or writes to log->data_start
The initialization also has an incorrect order problem, as the fw_log
is currently allocated after MBX setup during initialization.
Fix the problems by adjusting the synchronization order to put
initialization in place before the mailbox is enabled, and not cleared
until after the mailbox has been disabled.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix memory leak in amdgpu_ras_init()
When amdgpu_nbio_ras_sw_init() fails in amdgpu_ras_init(), the function
returns directly without freeing the allocated con structure, leading
to a memory leak.
Fix this by jumping to the release_con label to properly clean up the
allocated memory before returning the error code.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: use READ_ONCE() to read struct ublksrv_ctrl_cmd
struct ublksrv_ctrl_cmd is part of the io_uring_sqe, which may lie in
userspace-mapped memory. It's racy to access its fields with normal
loads, as userspace may write to them concurrently. Use READ_ONCE() to
copy the ublksrv_ctrl_cmd from the io_uring_sqe to the stack. Use the
local copy in place of the one in the io_uring_sqe.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix invalid leaf access in btrfs_quota_enable() if ref key not found
If btrfs_search_slot_for_read() returns 1, it means we did not find any
key greater than or equals to the key we asked for, meaning we have
reached the end of the tree and therefore the path is not valid. If
this happens we need to break out of the loop and stop, instead of
continuing and accessing an invalid path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR hang in LAG error state unload
During firmware reset in LAG mode, a race condition causes the driver
to hang indefinitely while waiting for UMR completion during device
unload. See [1].
In LAG mode the bond device is only registered on the master, so it
never sees sys_error events from the slave.
During firmware reset this causes UMR waits to hang forever on unload
as the slave is dead but the master hasn't entered error state yet, so
UMR posts succeed but completions never arrive.
Fix this by adding a sys_error notifier that gets registered before
MLX5_IB_STAGE_IB_REG and stays alive until after ib_unregister_device().
This ensures error events reach the bond device throughout teardown.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpuidle: Skip governor when only one idle state is available
On certain platforms (PowerNV systems without a power-mgt DT node),
cpuidle may register only a single idle state. In cases where that
single state is a polling state (state 0), the ladder governor may
incorrectly treat state 1 as the first usable state and pass an
out-of-bounds index. This can lead to a NULL enter callback being
invoked, ultimately resulting in a system crash.

apparmor: fix NULL pointer dereference in __unix_needs_revalidation
When receiving file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS, both the socket pointer

SUNRPC: fix gss_auth kref leak in gss_alloc_msg error path
Commit 5940d1cf9f42 ("SUNRPC: Rebalance a kref in auth_gss.c") added
a kref_get(&gss_auth->kref) call to balance the gss_put_auth() done
in gss_release_msg(), but forgot to add a corresponding kref_put()
on the error path when kstrdup_const() fails.
If service_name is non-NULL and kstrdup_const() fails, the function
jumps to err_put_pipe_version which calls put_pipe_version() and
kfree(gss_msg), but never releases the gss_auth reference. This leads
to a kref leak where the gss_auth structure is never freed.
Add a forward declaration for gss_free_callback() and call kref_put()
in the err_put_pipe_version error path to properly release the
reference taken earlier.

gfs2: fix memory leaks in gfs2_fill_super error path
Fix two memory leaks in the gfs2_fill_super() error handling path when
transitioning a filesystem to read-write mode fails.
First leak: kthread objects (thread_struct, task_struct, etc.)
When gfs2_freeze_lock_shared() fails after init_threads() succeeds, the
created kernel threads (logd and quotad) are never destroyed. This
occurs because the fail_per_node label doesn't call
gfs2_destroy_threads().
Second leak: quota bitmap buffer (8192 bytes)
When gfs2_make_fs_rw() fails after gfs2_quota_init() succeeds but
before other operations complete, the allocated quota bitmap is never
freed.
The fix moves thread cleanup to the fail_per_node label to handle all
error paths uniformly. gfs2_destroy_threads() is safe to call
unconditionally as it checks for NULL pointers. Quota cleanup is added
in gfs2_make_fs_rw() to properly handle the withdrawal case where
quota initialization succeeds but the filesystem is then withdrawn.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfsplus: return error when node already exists in hfs_bnode_create
When hfs_bnode_create() finds that a node is already hashed (which should
not happen in normal operation), it currently returns the existing node
without incrementing its reference count. This causes a reference count
inconsistency that leads to a kernel panic when the node is later freed
in hfs_bnode_put():
kernel BUG at fs/hfsplus/bnode.c:676!
BUG_ON(!atomic_read(&node->refcnt))
This scenario can occur when hfs_bmap_alloc() attempts to allocate a node
that is already in use (e.g., when node 0's bitmap bit is incorrectly
unset), or due to filesystem corruption.
Returning an existing node from a create path is not normal operation.
Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-EEXIST) instead of the node when it's
already hashed. This properly signals the error condition to callers,
which already check for IS_ERR() return values.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp - Fix a crash due to incorrect cleanup usage of kfree
Annotating a local pointer variable, which will be assigned with the
kmalloc-family functions, with the `__cleanup(kfree)` attribute will
make the address of the local variable, rather than the address returned
by kmalloc, passed to kfree directly and lead to a crash due to invalid
deallocation of stack address. According to other places in the repo,
the correct usage should be `__free(kfree)`. The code coincidentally
compiled because the parameter type `void *` of kfree is compatible with
the desired type `struct { ... } **`.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/exynos: vidi: fix to avoid directly dereferencing user pointer
In vidi_connection_ioctl(), vidi->edid(user pointer) is directly
dereferenced in the kernel.
This allows arbitrary kernel memory access from the user space, so instead
of directly accessing the user pointer in the kernel, we should modify it
to copy edid to kernel memory using copy_from_user() and use it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/exynos: vidi: use priv->vidi_dev for ctx lookup in vidi_connection_ioctl()
vidi_connection_ioctl() retrieves the driver_data from drm_dev->dev to
obtain a struct vidi_context pointer. However, drm_dev->dev is the
exynos-drm master device, and the driver_data contained therein is not
the vidi component device, but a completely different device.
This can lead to various bugs, ranging from null pointer dereferences and
garbage value accesses to, in unlucky cases, out-of-bounds errors,
use-after-free errors, and more.
To resolve this issue, we need to store/delete the vidi device pointer in
exynos_drm_private->vidi_dev during bind/unbind, and then read this
exynos_drm_private->vidi_dev within ioctl() to obtain the correct
struct vidi_context pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/md-llbitmap: fix percpu_ref not resurrected on suspend timeout
When llbitmap_suspend_timeout() times out waiting for percpu_ref to
become zero, it returns -ETIMEDOUT without resurrecting the percpu_ref.
The caller (md_llbitmap_daemon_fn) then continues to the next page
without calling llbitmap_resume(), leaving the percpu_ref in a killed
state permanently.
Fix this by resurrecting the percpu_ref before returning the error,
ensuring the page control structure remains usable for subsequent
operations.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: au1200fb: Fix a memory leak in au1200fb_drv_probe()
In au1200fb_drv_probe(), when platform_get_irq fails(), it directly
returns from the function with an error code, which causes a memory
leak.
Replace it with a goto label to ensure proper cleanup.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5: fix IO hang with degraded array with llbitmap
When llbitmap bit state is still unwritten, any new write should force
rcw, as bitmap_ops->blocks_synced() is checked in handle_stripe_dirtying().
However, later the same check is missing in need_this_block(), causing
stripe to deadloop during handling because handle_stripe() will decide
to go to handle_stripe_fill(), meanwhile need_this_block() always return
0 and nothing is handled.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: fbnic: Add validation for MTU changes
Increasing the MTU beyond the HDS threshold causes the hardware to
fragment packets across multiple buffers. If a single-buffer XDP program
is attached, the driver will drop all multi-frag frames. While we can't
prevent a remote sender from sending non-TCP packets larger than the MTU,
this will prevent users from inadvertently breaking new TCP streams.
Traditionally, drivers supported XDP with MTU less than 4Kb
(packet per page). Fbnic currently prevents attaching XDP when MTU is too high.
But it does not prevent increasing MTU after XDP is attached.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix a potential use-after-free of BTF object
Refcounting in the check_pseudo_btf_id() function is incorrect:
the __check_pseudo_btf_id() function might get called with a zero
refcounted btf. Fix this, and patch related code accordingly.

v2: fix a refcount leak introduced in v1 (AI)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: starfive - Fix memory leak in starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req()
The starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req() function allocates rctx->adata with
kzalloc() but fails to free it if sg_copy_to_buffer() or
starfive_aes_hw_init() fails, which lead to memory leaks.
Since rctx->adata is unconditionally freed after the write_adata
operations, ensure consistent cleanup by freeing the allocation in these
earlier error paths as well.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwrng: core - use RCU and work_struct to fix race condition
Currently, hwrng_fill is not cleared until the hwrng_fillfn() thread
exits. Since hwrng_unregister() reads hwrng_fill outside the rng_mutex
lock, a concurrent hwrng_unregister() may call kthread_stop() again on
the same task.
Additionally, if hwrng_unregister() is called immediately after
hwrng_register(), the stopped thread may have never been executed. Thus,
hwrng_fill remains dirty even after hwrng_unregister() returns. In this
case, subsequent calls to hwrng_register() will fail to start new
threads, and hwrng_unregister() will call kthread_stop() on the same
freed task. In both cases, a use-after-free occurs:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: ... at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xec/0x1c0
Call Trace:
kthread_stop+0x181/0x360
hwrng_unregister+0x288/0x380
virtrng_remove+0xe3/0x200
This patch fixes the race by protecting the global hwrng_fill pointer
inside the rng_mutex lock, so that hwrng_fillfn() thread is stopped only
once, and calls to kthread_run() and kthread_stop() are serialized
with the lock held.
To avoid deadlock in hwrng_fillfn() while being stopped with the lock
held, we convert current_rng to RCU, so that get_current_rng() can read
current_rng without holding the lock. To remove the lock from put_rng(),
we also delay the actual cleanup into a work_struct.
Since get_current_rng() no longer returns ERR_PTR values, the IS_ERR()
checks are removed from its callers.
With hwrng_fill protected by the rng_mutex lock, hwrng_fillfn() can no
longer clear hwrng_fill itself. Therefore, if hwrng_fillfn() returns
directly after current_rng is dropped, kthread_stop() would be called on
a freed task_struct later. To fix this, hwrng_fillfn() calls schedule()
now to keep the task alive until being stopped. The kthread_stop() call
is also moved from hwrng_unregister() to drop_current_rng(), ensuring
kthread_stop() is called on all possible paths where current_rng becomes
NULL, so that the thread would not wait forever.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_ext_shift_extents()
In ext4_ext_shift_extents(), if the extent is NULL in the while loop, the
function returns immediately without releasing the path obtained via
ext4_find_extent(), leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by jumping to the out label to ensure the path is properly
released.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix memory leak in amdgpu_acpi_enumerate_xcc()
In amdgpu_acpi_enumerate_xcc(), if amdgpu_acpi_dev_init() returns -ENOMEM,
the function returns directly without releasing the allocated xcc_info,
resulting in a memory leak.
Fix this by ensuring that xcc_info is properly freed in the error paths.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: ab8500: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.
This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with
a freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or
otherwise silently corrupts the memory...
Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during
`probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering
the `power_supply` handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation
of using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in
`power_supply_changed()`.
Commit 1c1f13a006ed ("power: supply: ab8500: Move to componentized
binding") introduced this issue during a refactorization. Fix this racy
use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_ the
registration of the `power_supply` handle.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix race condition during PASID entry replacement
The Intel VT-d PASID table entry is 512 bits (64 bytes). When replacing
an active PASID entry (e.g., during domain replacement), the current
implementation calculates a new entry on the stack and copies it to the
table using a single structure assignment.
struct pasid_entry *pte, new_pte;
pte = intel_pasid_get_entry(dev, pasid);
pasid_pte_config_first_level(iommu, &new_pte, ...);
*pte = new_pte;
Because the hardware may fetch the 512-bit PASID entry in multiple
128-bit chunks, updating the entire entry while it is active (Present
bit set) risks a "torn" read. In this scenario, the IOMMU hardware
could observe an inconsistent state — partially new data and partially
old data — leading to unpredictable behavior or spurious faults.
Fix this by removing the unsafe "replace" helpers and following the
"clear-then-update" flow, which ensures the Present bit is cleared and
the required invalidation handshake is completed before the new
configuration is applied.
