| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: si: Fix NULL pointer dereference after failed registration
try_smi_init() allocates new_smi->si_sm and later calls
ipmi_register_smi_mod(), which maps to ipmi_add_smi().
During ipmi_add_smi(), the upper IPMI message handler obtains the
initial BMC device information through __bmc_get_device_id(). This can
fail if the BMC does not return a successful response to the Get Device
ID command.
When the BMC returns a nonzero completion code, the device-id helper
retries the command and eventually returns -EIO if the device ID still
cannot be fetched.
On this failure path, ipmi_add_smi() logs "Unable to get the device id"
and goes to out_err_started, where it invokes the lower driver's
shutdown callback. try_smi_init() then logs the returned registration
failure:
ipmi_si IPI0001:00: IPMI message handler: Unable to get the device id: -5
ipmi_si IPI0001:00: Unable to register device: error -5
For ipmi_si, the shutdown callback is shutdown_smi(), which cleans up
the SI state machine data, frees smi_info->si_sm, and sets
smi_info->si_sm and smi_info->intf to NULL.
However, intf->in_shutdown is not set on this failed-registration
rollback path. Therefore, the asynchronous redo_bmc_reg work item can
still retry BMC device-id probing after the lower driver has already
cleared its SI state machine data. In the observed case, that retry path
reached start_next_msg(), which passed the NULL smi_info->si_sm pointer
to the selected KCS state machine handler:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000

Set intf->in_shutdown on the out_err_started path before invoking the
lower driver's shutdown callback. This prevents later redo_bmc_reg
retries from using an interface whose lower driver state has been
cleaned up, and applies the same shutdown state to other IPMI interfaces
as well. |
| The MQTT-SN client keepalive handler process_ping() in subsys/net/lib/mqtt_sn/mqtt_sn.c removes the gateway record after PINGREQ retries are exhausted. It invoked SYS_SLIST_PEEK_HEAD_CONTAINER(&client->gateways, gw, next) but discarded the result. That macro is a pure expression that does not assign to gw, so gw retained its NULL initializer regardless of the list contents.
The code then dereferences the NULL gw (gw->gw_id) and passes it to mqtt_sn_gw_destroy(), reaching k_mem_slab_free(&gateways, NULL). With CONFIG_MEM_SLAB_POINTER_VALIDATE enabled this triggers k_panic(); in the default configuration it performs a write through the NULL pointer ((char )mem = slab->free_list;) and corrupts the slab free list. The outcome is a crash/kernel panic or, on targets where address 0 is writable, silent memory-allocator corruption.
The vulnerable branch runs whenever the connected MQTT-SN gateway fails to answer keepalive PINGREQs for the configured number of retries. This condition is controlled by the remote peer: a malicious or compromised gateway, or an on-path/adjacent attacker that advertises itself as a gateway and then stops responding (or blackholes the real gateway's PINGRESPs), forces the client into the defect. MQTT-SN runs over UDP and no authentication is required.
The impact is a remotely triggerable denial of service (availability) of the affected MQTT-SN client; there is no attacker-controlled data written. The sibling remover process_advertise() uses SYS_SLIST_FOR_EACH_CONTAINER_SAFE and is not affected. The fix assigns the macro's return value to gw. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()
event_test_stuff() calls kthread_run() and unconditionally passes the
returned task_struct pointer to kthread_stop(). kthread_run() returns an
error pointer such as ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) when kthread creation fails, for
example under memory pressure during the boot-time event self-test.
kthread_stop() then dereferences the invalid pointer, crashing the kernel.
Check the result of kthread_run() before passing it to kthread_stop(). Use
WARN_ON() so that a failure to create the self-test thread does not go
unnoticed, matching the ring-buffer self-test fix in commit
91542863abad ("ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: block non-SAVEFH ops after FOREIGN PUTFH to prevent NULL deref
When CONFIG_NFSD_V4_2_INTER_SSC is enabled, nfsd4_putfh() can return
success with fh_dentry and fh_export both NULL if fh_verify() returns
nfserr_stale and putfh->no_verify is true. The NFSD4_FH_FOREIGN flag
is set, but the compound dispatch loop only uses this flag to bypass
the nfserr_nofilehandle check -- it does not prevent subsequent ops
from running with a NULL fh_dentry.
A remote client can exploit this by crafting a COMPOUND that includes
an inter-SSC COPY (which causes check_if_stalefh_allowed() to set
no_verify=true on the saved PUTFH) with an additional op inserted
between the source PUTFH and SAVEFH. For example, SETATTR calls
fh_want_write() which dereferences fh_export->ex_path.mnt without
calling fh_verify() first, causing a NULL pointer dereference in the
nfsd kthread.
Fix this by gating the dispatch loop: when NFSD4_FH_FOREIGN is set
and fh_dentry is NULL, only OP_SAVEFH (needed for the inter-SSC flow)
and ops with ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH (which don't need a resolved
filehandle) may proceed. All other ops receive nfserr_stale, per
RFC 7862 Section 15.2.3 which specifies that foreign filehandle
validation is deferred to the consuming operation and NFS4ERR_STALE
returned at that point. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Check svc pool percpu counter allocation
__svc_create() initializes three per-pool percpu_counter stats and
ignores every return value. On SMP, percpu_counter_init() fails when
__alloc_percpu_gfp() cannot satisfy the allocation, leaving the failed
counter with fbc->counters == NULL and its embedded raw_spinlock_t,
list_head, and count never initialized. __svc_create() returns the
half-constructed svc_serv to nfsd, lockd, or the NFS callback service
anyway.
Once that service is live, the hot-path increments in
svc_xprt_enqueue(), svc_handle_xprt(), and
svc_pool_wake_idle_thread() reach a counter whose backing pointer is
NULL. The pointer is a per-cpu offset, so the access does not fault:
it resolves to offset zero of the current CPU's per-cpu area and
silently corrupts whatever variable lives there. A
/proc/fs/nfsd/pool_stats read walks the same NULL per-cpu storage and
returns garbage, and on CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or lockdep it splats on
the never-initialized lock.
Creating the broken service requires a percpu allocation failure during
RPC server startup, so it is reachable only by a local administrator
under memory pressure or fault injection; a remote peer cannot induce
the bad state on its own.
Check each percpu_counter_init() return value in __svc_create() and
fail when an allocation fails, unwinding the counters already set up
in the current pool and in every pool initialized before it. A
discrete percpu_counter_destroy() per counter at teardown frees each
per-cpu allocation exactly once. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cpum_cf: Handle CPU hotplug via prepare/dead callbacks
The command 'perf stat -e cycles -- <command>' crashes the kernel
when CPUs are hotplug added during that run.
Root cause is the allocation of struct cpu_cf_events at first
event initialization. The allocation is dynamic and the first
event that has task context creates such a structure for
each online CPU. This is not sufficient. CPUs may be offline
during event creation and can be set online during the
perf run time. For example commands
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# perf stat -e cycles -i -- stress-ng -t10s --matrix X
# sleep 1
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
create an event for CPUs 0,2-X. Since the events are created with
task-context, the scheduler will eventually schedule the program
on CPU1. This CPU has not created and initialized any per
CPU event infrastructure as that CPU was not online at the time
of the perf invocation. Thus when the scheduler runs stress-ng
on CPU1, the function cpumf_pmu_add() refers to a NULL pointer:
struct cpu_cf_events *cpuhw = this_cpu_cfhw();
This function call is invoked after the task stress-ng has been
made runnable on CPU1. And this_cpu_cfhw() returns NULL.
The result is a panic:

The issue arises only in per-task context when the CPUMF facility is
used and the scheduler picks a random CPU for such a process to run on.
The scheduler enables the CPUMF infrastructure via PMU callback
functions pmu::add() and pmu::del().
Introduce a CPU hotplug prepare/dead callback pair which creates and
removes the per CPU counter data while the CPU is offline. Count the
users which track every CPU (cpu == -1), that is perf_event_open()
events with task context and /dev/hwctr device sessions, in the new
counter cpu_cf_root::tskcnt, protected by pmc_reserve_mutex.
This ensures the infrastructure is available when
new CPU is selected to run the per-task context process.
In cpum_cf_free_root() and cpum_cf_free_cpu() ensure the reference
pointer to data structures is set to NULL before the data is freed
to prevent interrupt handlers to access stale data.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: Guard sysfs discipline callbacks against unallocated private data
Several sysfs show/store handlers call a discipline callback that
dereferences device->private, either directly or through the
DASD_DEFINE_ATTR() macro. During dasd_generic_set_online() the discipline
is assigned before check_device() allocates device->private, so an
unprivileged read of one of these world-readable attributes in that window
dereferences a NULL pointer and panics.
Guard the dereference inside each callback that actually touches
device->private. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: ISST: Validate socket ID in clos_assoc ioctl
isst_if_clos_assoc() validates the user-supplied socket_id with
'socket_id > topology_max_packages()', but isst_common.sst_inst[] is
allocated with topology_max_packages() entries, so the valid index range
is [0, topology_max_packages()). The '>' comparison lets
socket_id == topology_max_packages() pass and index one entry past the
array.
In addition, isst_common.sst_inst[socket_id] is NULL for an in-range
package that has no bound TPMI SST instance, and the pointer is used
without a NULL check. Both the out-of-bounds entry and the NULL pointer
are then dereferenced by map_partition_power_domain_id() and the
following power_domain_info access.
Reject socket_id >= topology_max_packages() and a NULL sst_inst, matching
the checks already performed by get_instance(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ravb: avoid dereferencing an invalid PTP clock
The PTP clock is unavailable before the first open, so querying its
index can dereference a NULL pointer. Registration failures can also
leave an error pointer in priv->ptp.clock.
Cache the PHC index separately and report -1 while no clock is
registered. Normalize registration errors to NULL and preserve the
static timestamping capabilities. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: do not dereference an unset send buffer on the SMC-D teardown path
smc_close_stream_wait() calls smc_tx_prepared_sends() from inside its
sk_wait_event() condition, and sk_wait_event() evaluates that condition
once with the socket lock released. smcd_buf_detach() clears
conn->sndbuf_desc from smc_conn_kill() under lock_sock(), so a link group
terminating while a socket waits there leaves the helper dereferencing
NULL, faulting out of close(). SIOCOUTQ reads the field by hand, and
smc_close_cancel_work() drops the lock across two cancel_*_sync() calls.
Sample the pointer once in the helper, report nothing prepared while it is
unset, and bound the ioctl the same way. The receive tasklet dereferences
the field directly in smc_cdc_msg_recv_action(), not through this helper;
1/2 is what keeps it from running that late. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-stats: fix a crash if allocation of per-cpu data fails
If "dm_kvzalloc(percpu_alloc_size, cpu_to_node(cpu))" fails, the code
jumps to the "out" label and calls dm_stat_free. dm_stat_free does
"for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { dm_kvfree(s->stat_percpu[cpu][0].histogram,
s->histogram_alloc_size);", which crashes with NULL pointer dereference
if s->stat_percpu[cpu] is NULL.
This commit fixes the bug by testing s->stat_percpu[cpu] for NULL before
using it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: reject an unclaimed class value in security_get_classes()
security_get_classes() sizes an array by p_classes.nprim and fills it at
value - 1, so a class value the policy never defines leaves a NULL.
sel_make_classes() passes every entry to sel_make_dir(), reaching the same
d_alloc_name() dereference as the permission array. The class symbol table
is allowed to be sparse (policydb_class_isvalid() exists to absorb that),
but this getter builds its own array straight from the hash table and has
no such predicate.
Fail the lookup when a value went unclaimed instead of handing out the
NULL. Conforming policies define every class they declare and are
unaffected. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/mmiotrace: Add NULL check for mmio_trace_array in logging functions
mmio_trace_rw() and mmio_trace_mapping() retrieve mmio_trace_array into
tr and pass it to __trace_mmiotrace_rw() and __trace_mmiotrace_map().
If these functions are invoked while mmio_trace_array is NULL (e.g. before
initialization or after disabled), accessing tr->array_buffer.buffer will
result in a NULL pointer dereference crash.
Fix this by adding an explicit NULL check for tr at the beginning of
__trace_mmiotrace_rw() and __trace_mmiotrace_map(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: os_dep: avoid NULL pointer dereference in rtw_cbuf_alloc
The return value of kzalloc_flex() is used without
ensuring that the allocation succeeded, and the
pointer is dereferenced unconditionally.
Guard the access to the allocated structure to
avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference if the
allocation fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix oops due to invalid pointer for kfree() in parse_longname()
This fixes a kernel oops when reading ceph snapshot directories (.snap),
for example by simply running `ls /mnt/my_ceph/.snap`.
The variable str is guarded by __free(kfree), but advanced by one for
skipping the initial '_' in snapshot names. Thus, kfree() is called
with an invalid pointer. This patch removes the need for advancing the
pointer so kfree() is called with correct memory pointer.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create snapshots on a cephfs volume (I've 63 snaps in my testcase)
2. Add cephfs mount to fstab
$ echo "samba-fileserver@.files=/volumes/datapool/stuff/3461082b-ecc9-4e82-8549-3fd2590d3fb6 /mnt/test/stuff ceph acl,noatime,_netdev 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
3. Reboot the system
$ systemctl reboot
4. Check if it's really mounted
$ mount | grep stuff
5. List snapshots (expected 63 snapshots on my system)
$ ls /mnt/test/stuff/.snap
Now ls hangs forever and the kernel log shows the oops. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: mediatek: eint: Fix invalid pointer dereference for v1 platforms
Commit 3ef9f710efcb ("pinctrl: mediatek: Add EINT support for multiple
addresses") introduced an access to the 'soc' field of struct
mtk_pinctrl in mtk_eint_do_init() and for that an include of
pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.h.
However, pinctrl drivers relying on the v1 common driver include
pinctrl-mtk-common.h instead, which provides another definition of
struct mtk_pinctrl that does not contain an 'soc' field.
Since mtk_eint_do_init() can be called both by v1 and v2 drivers, it
will now try to dereference an invalid pointer when called on v1
platforms. This has been observed on Genio 350 EVK (MT8365), which
crashes very early in boot (the kernel trace can only be seen with
earlycon).
In order to fix this, since 'struct mtk_pinctrl' was only needed to get
a 'struct mtk_eint_pin', make 'struct mtk_eint_pin' a parameter
of mtk_eint_do_init() so that callers need to supply it, removing
mtk_eint_do_init()'s dependency on any particular 'struct mtk_pinctrl'. |
