CVSS v3.1 |
| In MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.22.3, there is a NULL pointer dereference if an application calls gss_accept_sec_context() on a system with a NegoEx mechanism registered in /etc/gss/mech. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger this, causing the process to terminate in parse_nego_message. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: vub300: fix NULL-deref on disconnect
Make sure to deregister the controller before dropping the reference to
the driver data on disconnect to avoid NULL-pointer dereferences or
use-after-free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: alps: fix NULL pointer dereference in alps_raw_event()
Commit ecfa6f34492c ("HID: Add HID_CLAIMED_INPUT guards in raw_event
callbacks missing them") attempted to fix up the HID drivers that had
missed the previous fix that was done in 2ff5baa9b527 ("HID: appleir:
Fix potential NULL dereference at raw event handle"), but the alps
driver was missed.
Fix this up by properly checking in the hid-alps driver that it had been
claimed correctly before attempting to process the raw event. |

net: bonding: fix NULL deref in bond_debug_rlb_hash_show
rlb_clear_slave intentionally keeps RLB hash-table entries on
the rx_hashtbl_used_head list with slave set to NULL when no
replacement slave is available. However, bond_debug_rlb_hash_show
visites client_info->slave without checking if it's NULL.
Other used-list iterators in bond_alb.c already handle this NULL-slave
state safely:
- rlb_update_client returns early on !client_info->slave
- rlb_req_update_slave_clients, rlb_clear_slave, and rlb_rebalance
compare slave values before visiting
- lb_req_update_subnet_clients continues if slave is NULL
The following NULL deref crash can be trigger in
bond_debug_rlb_hash_show:

netfilter: x_tables: restrict xt_check_match/xt_check_target extensions for NFPROTO_ARP
Weiming Shi says:
xt_match and xt_target structs registered with NFPROTO_UNSPEC can be
loaded by any protocol family through nft_compat. When such a
match/target sets .hooks to restrict which hooks it may run on, the
bitmask uses NF_INET_* constants. This is only correct for families
whose hook layout matches NF_INET_*: IPv4, IPv6, INET, and bridge
all share the same five hooks (PRE_ROUTING ... POST_ROUTING).
ARP only has three hooks (IN=0, OUT=1, FORWARD=2) with different
semantics. Because NF_ARP_OUT == 1 == NF_INET_LOCAL_IN, the .hooks
validation silently passes for the wrong reasons, allowing matches to
run on ARP chains where the hook assumptions (e.g. state->in being
set on input hooks) do not hold. This leads to NULL pointer
dereferences; xt_devgroup is one concrete example:

net/sched: cls_flow: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks
flow_change() calls tcf_block_q() and dereferences q->handle to derive
a default baseclass. Shared blocks leave block->q NULL, causing a NULL
deref when a flow filter without a fully qualified baseclass is created
on a shared block.

net/sched: cls_fw: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks
The old-method path in fw_classify() calls tcf_block_q() and

NULL deref when an empty cls_fw filter is attached to a shared block
and a packet with a nonzero major skb mark is classified.
Reject the configuration in fw_change() when the old method (no

net: atm: fix crash due to unvalidated vcc pointer in sigd_send()
Reproducer available at [1].
The ATM send path (sendmsg -> vcc_sendmsg -> sigd_send) reads the vcc
pointer from msg->vcc and uses it directly without any validation. This
pointer comes from userspace via sendmsg() and can be arbitrarily forged:
int fd = socket(AF_ATMSVC, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
ioctl(fd, ATMSIGD_CTRL); // become ATM signaling daemon
struct msghdr msg = { .msg_iov = &iov, ... };
*(unsigned long *)(buf + 4) = 0xdeadbeef; // fake vcc pointer
sendmsg(fd, &msg, 0); // kernel dereferences 0xdeadbeef
In normal operation, the kernel sends the vcc pointer to the signaling
daemon via sigd_enq() when processing operations like connect(), bind(),
or listen(). The daemon is expected to return the same pointer when
responding. However, a malicious daemon can send arbitrary pointer values.
Fix this by introducing find_get_vcc() which validates the pointer by
searching through vcc_hash (similar to how sigd_close() iterates over
all VCCs), and acquires a reference via sock_hold() if found.
Since struct atm_vcc embeds struct sock as its first member, they share
the same lifetime. Therefore using sock_hold/sock_put is sufficient to
keep the vcc alive while it is being used.
Note that there may be a race with sigd_close() which could mark the vcc
with various flags (e.g., ATM_VF_RELEASED) after find_get_vcc() returns.
However, sock_hold() guarantees the memory remains valid, so this race
only affects the logical state, not memory safety.

spi: fix statistics allocation
The controller per-cpu statistics is not allocated until after the
controller has been registered with driver core, which leaves a window
where accessing the sysfs attributes can trigger a NULL-pointer
dereference.
Fix this by moving the statistics allocation to controller allocation
while tying its lifetime to that of the controller (rather than using
implicit devres). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix NULL dereference and UAF in smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock()
Syzkaller reported a panic in smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock() [1].
smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock() is called in the TCP receive path
(softirq) via icsk_af_ops->syn_recv_sock on the clcsock (TCP
listening socket). It reads sk_user_data to get the smc_sock
pointer. However, when the SMC listen socket is being closed
concurrently, smc_close_active() sets clcsock->sk_user_data
to NULL under sk_callback_lock, and then the smc_sock itself
can be freed via sock_put() in smc_release().
This leads to two issues:
1) NULL pointer dereference: sk_user_data is NULL when
accessed.
2) Use-after-free: sk_user_data is read as non-NULL, but the
smc_sock is freed before its fields (e.g., queued_smc_hs,
ori_af_ops) are accessed.
The race window looks like this (the syzkaller crash [1]
triggers via the SYN cookie path: tcp_get_cookie_sock() ->
smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock(), but the normal tcp_check_req() path
has the same race):
CPU A (softirq) CPU B (process ctx)
tcp_v4_rcv()
TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV:
sk = req->rsk_listener
sock_hold(sk)
/* No lock on listener */
smc_close_active():
write_lock_bh(cb_lock)
sk_user_data = NULL
write_unlock_bh(cb_lock)
...
smc_clcsock_release()
sock_put(smc->sk) x2
-> smc_sock freed!
tcp_check_req()
smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock():
smc = user_data(sk)
-> NULL or dangling
smc->queued_smc_hs
-> crash!
Note that the clcsock and smc_sock are two independent objects
with separate refcounts. TCP stack holds a reference on the
clcsock, which keeps it alive, but this does NOT prevent the
smc_sock from being freed.
Fix this by using RCU and refcount_inc_not_zero() to safely
access smc_sock. Since smc_tcp_syn_recv_sock() is called in
the TCP three-way handshake path, taking read_lock_bh on
sk_callback_lock is too heavy and would not survive a SYN
flood attack. Using rcu_read_lock() is much more lightweight.
- Set SOCK_RCU_FREE on the SMC listen socket so that
smc_sock freeing is deferred until after the RCU grace
period. This guarantees the memory is still valid when
accessed inside rcu_read_lock().
- Use rcu_read_lock() to protect reading sk_user_data.
- Use refcount_inc_not_zero(&smc->sk.sk_refcnt) to pin the
smc_sock. If the refcount has already reached zero (close
path completed), it returns false and we bail out safely.
Note: smc_hs_congested() has a similar lockless read of
sk_user_data without rcu_read_lock(), but it only checks for
NULL and accesses the global smc_hs_wq, never dereferencing
any smc_sock field, so it is not affected.
Reproducer was verified with mdelay injection and smc_run,
the issue no longer occurs with this patch applied.

Add a NULL check before accessing icmp_strict_tag_validation. If the
protocol has no registered handler, return false since it cannot
perform strict tag validation. |

wifi: mac80211: fix NULL deref in mesh_matches_local()
mesh_matches_local() unconditionally dereferences ie->mesh_config to
compare mesh configuration parameters. When called from
mesh_rx_csa_frame(), the parsed action-frame elements may not contain a
Mesh Configuration IE, leaving ie->mesh_config NULL and triggering a
kernel NULL pointer dereference.
The other two callers are already safe:
- ieee80211_mesh_rx_bcn_presp() checks !elems->mesh_config before
calling mesh_matches_local()
- mesh_plink_get_event() is only reached through
mesh_process_plink_frame(), which checks !elems->mesh_config, too
mesh_rx_csa_frame() is the only caller that passes raw parsed elements
to mesh_matches_local() without guarding mesh_config. An adjacent
attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted CSA action frame that
includes a valid Mesh ID IE but omits the Mesh Configuration IE,
crashing the kernel.
The captured crash log:

This patch adds a NULL check for ie->mesh_config at the top of
mesh_matches_local() to return false early when the Mesh Configuration
IE is absent. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: Add HID_CLAIMED_INPUT guards in raw_event callbacks missing them
In commit 2ff5baa9b527 ("HID: appleir: Fix potential NULL dereference at
raw event handle"), we handle the fact that raw event callbacks
can happen even for a HID device that has not been "claimed" causing a
crash if a broken device were attempted to be connected to the system.
Fix up the remaining in-tree HID drivers that forgot to add this same
check to resolve the same issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called
which initializes it. Then, if neigh_suppress is enabled and an ICMPv6
Neighbor Discovery packet reaches the bridge, br_do_suppress_nd() will
dereference ipv6_stub->nd_tbl which is NULL, passing it to
neigh_lookup(). This causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference.

Fix this by replacing IS_ENABLED(IPV6) call with ipv6_mod_enabled() in
the callers. This is in essence disabling NS/NA suppression when IPv6 is
disabled. |

ipv6: fix NULL pointer deref in ip6_rt_get_dev_rcu()
l3mdev_master_dev_rcu() can return NULL when the slave device is being
un-slaved from a VRF. All other callers deal with this, but we lost
the fallback to loopback in ip6_rt_pcpu_alloc() -> ip6_rt_get_dev_rcu()
with commit 4832c30d5458 ("net: ipv6: put host and anycast routes on
device with address").

I was tempted to rework the un-slaving code to clear the flag first
and insert synchronize_rcu() before we remove the upper. But looks like
the explicit fallback to loopback_dev is an established pattern.
And I guess avoiding the synchronize_rcu() is nice, too. |
