| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: remove xfs_attr_leaf_hasname
The calling convention of xfs_attr_leaf_hasname() is problematic, because
it returns a NULL buffer when xfs_attr3_leaf_read fails, a valid buffer
when xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int returns -ENOATTR or -EEXIST, and a
non-NULL buffer pointer for an already released buffer when
xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int fails with other error values.
Fix this by simply open coding xfs_attr_leaf_hasname in the callers, so
that the buffer release code is done by each caller of
xfs_attr3_leaf_read. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventpoll: defer struct eventpoll free to RCU grace period
In certain situations, ep_free() in eventpoll.c will kfree the epi->ep
eventpoll struct while it still being used by another concurrent thread.
Defer the kfree() to an RCU callback to prevent UAF. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: don't irele after failing to iget in xfs_attri_recover_work
xlog_recovery_iget* never set @ip to a valid pointer if they return
an error, so this irele will walk off a dangling pointer. Fix that. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_ct: drop pending enqueued packets on removal
Packets sitting in nfqueue might hold a reference to:
- templates that specify the conntrack zone, because a percpu area is
used and module removal is possible.
- conntrack timeout policies and helper, where object removal leave
a stale reference.
Since these objects can just go away, drop enqueued packets to avoid
stale reference to them.
If there is a need for finer grain removal, this logic can be revisited
to make selective packet drop upon dependencies. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: fix use-after-free in add_adev() error path
If auxiliary_device_add() fails, add_adev() jumps to add_fail and calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(adev).
The auxiliary device has its release callback set to adev_release(),
which frees the containing struct mana_adev. Since adev is embedded in
struct mana_adev, the subsequent fall-through to init_fail and access
to adev->id may result in a use-after-free.
Fix this by saving the allocated auxiliary device id in a local
variable before calling auxiliary_device_add(), and use that saved id
in the cleanup path after auxiliary_device_uninit(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: sockmap: Fix use-after-free of sk->sk_socket in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready().
syzbot reported use-after-free of AF_UNIX socket's sk->sk_socket
in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready(). [0]
In unix_stream_sendmsg(), the peer socket's ->sk_data_ready() is
called after dropping its unix_state_lock().
Although the sender socket holds the peer's refcount, it does not
prevent the peer's sock_orphan(), and the peer's sk_socket might
be freed after one RCU grace period.
Let's fetch the peer's sk->sk_socket and sk->sk_socket->ops under
RCU in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: usbtmc: Flush anchored URBs in usbtmc_release
When calling usbtmc_release, pending anchored URBs must be flushed or
killed to prevent use-after-free errors (e.g. in the HCD giveback
path). Call usbtmc_draw_down() to allow anchored URBs to be completed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: Address thermal zone removal races with resume
Since thermal_zone_pm_complete() and thermal_zone_device_resume()
re-initialize the poll_queue delayed work for the given thermal zone,
the cancel_delayed_work_sync() in thermal_zone_device_unregister()
may miss some already running work items and the thermal zone may
be freed prematurely [1].
There are two failing scenarios that both start with
running thermal_pm_notify_complete() right before invoking
thermal_zone_device_unregister() for one of the thermal zones.
In the first scenario, there is a work item already running for
the given thermal zone when thermal_pm_notify_complete() calls
thermal_zone_pm_complete() for that thermal zone and it continues to
run when thermal_zone_device_unregister() starts. Since the poll_queue
delayed work has been re-initialized by thermal_pm_notify_complete(), the
running work item will be missed by the cancel_delayed_work_sync() in
thermal_zone_device_unregister() and if it continues to run past the
freeing of the thermal zone object, a use-after-free will occur.
In the second scenario, thermal_zone_device_resume() queued up by
thermal_pm_notify_complete() runs right after the thermal_zone_exit()
called by thermal_zone_device_unregister() has returned. The poll_queue
delayed work is re-initialized by it before cancel_delayed_work_sync() is
called by thermal_zone_device_unregister(), so it may continue to run
after the freeing of the thermal zone object, which also leads to a
use-after-free.
Address the first failing scenario by ensuring that no thermal work
items will be running when thermal_pm_notify_complete() is called.
For this purpose, first move the cancel_delayed_work() call from
thermal_zone_pm_complete() to thermal_zone_pm_prepare() to prevent
new work from entering the workqueue going forward. Next, switch
over to using a dedicated workqueue for thermal events and update
the code in thermal_pm_notify() to flush that workqueue after
thermal_pm_notify_prepare() has returned which will take care of
all leftover thermal work already on the workqueue (that leftover
work would do nothing useful anyway because all of the thermal zones
have been flagged as suspended).
The second failing scenario is addressed by adding a tz->state check
to thermal_zone_device_resume() to prevent it from re-initializing
the poll_queue delayed work if the thermal zone is going away.
Note that the above changes will also facilitate relocating the suspend
and resume of thermal zones closer to the suspend and resume of devices,
respectively. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv6: flowlabel: defer exclusive option free until RCU teardown
`ip6fl_seq_show()` walks the global flowlabel hash under the seq-file
RCU read-side lock and prints `fl->opt->opt_nflen` when an option block
is present.
Exclusive flowlabels currently free `fl->opt` as soon as `fl->users`
drops to zero in `fl_release()`. However, the surrounding
`struct ip6_flowlabel` remains visible in the global hash table until
later garbage collection removes it and `fl_free_rcu()` finally tears it
down.
A concurrent `/proc/net/ip6_flowlabel` reader can therefore race that
early `kfree()` and dereference freed option state, triggering a crash
in `ip6fl_seq_show()`.
Fix this by keeping `fl->opt` alive until `fl_free_rcu()`. That matches
the lifetime already required for the enclosing flowlabel while readers
can still reach it under RCU. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_ct: fix use-after-free in timeout object destroy
nft_ct_timeout_obj_destroy() frees the timeout object with kfree()
immediately after nf_ct_untimeout(), without waiting for an RCU grace
period. Concurrent packet processing on other CPUs may still hold
RCU-protected references to the timeout object obtained via
rcu_dereference() in nf_ct_timeout_data().
Add an rcu_head to struct nf_ct_timeout and use kfree_rcu() to defer
freeing until after an RCU grace period, matching the approach already
used in nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: hold claim backbone gateways by reference
batadv_bla_add_claim() can replace claim->backbone_gw and drop the old
gateway's last reference while readers still follow the pointer.
The netlink claim dump path dereferences claim->backbone_gw->orig and
takes claim->backbone_gw->crc_lock without pinning the underlying
backbone gateway. batadv_bla_check_claim() still has the same naked
pointer access pattern.
Reuse batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() in both readers so they operate
on a stable gateway reference until the read-side work is complete.
This keeps the dump and claim-check paths aligned with the lifetime
rules introduced for the other BLA claim readers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Use scratch field in MMIO fragment to hold small write values
When exiting to userspace to service an emulated MMIO write, copy the
to-be-written value to a scratch field in the MMIO fragment if the size
of the data payload is 8 bytes or less, i.e. can fit in a single chunk,
instead of pointing the fragment directly at the source value.
This fixes a class of use-after-free bugs that occur when the emulator
initiates a write using an on-stack, local variable as the source, the
write splits a page boundary, *and* both pages are MMIO pages. Because
KVM's ABI only allows for physically contiguous MMIO requests, accesses
that split MMIO pages are separated into two fragments, and are sent to
userspace one at a time. When KVM attempts to complete userspace MMIO in
response to KVM_RUN after the first fragment, KVM will detect the second
fragment and generate a second userspace exit, and reference the on-stack
variable.
The issue is most visible if the second KVM_RUN is performed by a separate
task, in which case the stack of the initiating task can show up as truly
freed data.

The bug can also be reproduced with a targeted KVM-Unit-Test by hacking
KVM to fill a large on-stack variable in complete_emulated_mmio(), i.e. by

Limit the use of the scratch fields to 8-byte or smaller accesses, and to
just writes, as larger accesses and reads are not affected thanks to
implementation details in the emulator, but add a sanity check to ensure
those details don't change in the future. Specifically, KVM never uses

futex: Require sys_futex_requeue() to have identical flags
Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF
when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial
motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex,
but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are

operations. |

Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix dangling pointer on mgmt_add_adv_patterns_monitor_complete
This fixes the condition checking so mgmt_pending_valid is executed

would kfree(cmd) without unlinking it from the list first, leaving a
dangling pointer. Any subsequent list traversal (e.g.,
mgmt_pending_foreach during __mgmt_power_off, or another
mgmt_pending_valid call) would dereference freed memory. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: avoid dereferencing log items after push callbacks
After xfsaild_push_item() calls iop_push(), the log item may have been
freed if the AIL lock was dropped during the push. Background inode
reclaim or the dquot shrinker can free the log item while the AIL lock
is not held, and the tracepoints in the switch statement dereference
the log item after iop_push() returns.
Fix this by capturing the log item type, flags, and LSN before calling
xfsaild_push_item(), and introducing a new xfs_ail_push_class trace
event class that takes these pre-captured values and the ailp pointer
instead of the log item pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix use-after-free in update_super_work when racing with umount
Commit b98535d09179 ("ext4: fix bug_on in start_this_handle during umount
filesystem") moved ext4_unregister_sysfs() before flushing s_sb_upd_work
to prevent new error work from being queued via /proc/fs/ext4/xx/mb_groups
reads during unmount. However, this introduced a use-after-free because
update_super_work calls ext4_notify_error_sysfs() -> sysfs_notify() which
accesses the kobject's kernfs_node after it has been freed by kobject_del()
in ext4_unregister_sysfs():
update_super_work ext4_put_super
----------------- --------------
ext4_unregister_sysfs(sb)
kobject_del(&sbi->s_kobj)
__kobject_del()
sysfs_remove_dir()
kobj->sd = NULL
sysfs_put(sd)
kernfs_put() // RCU free
ext4_notify_error_sysfs(sbi)
sysfs_notify(&sbi->s_kobj)
kn = kobj->sd // stale pointer
kernfs_get(kn) // UAF on freed kernfs_node
ext4_journal_destroy()
flush_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work)
Instead of reordering the teardown sequence, fix this by making
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() detect that sysfs has already been torn down
by checking s_kobj.state_in_sysfs, and skipping the sysfs_notify() call
in that case. A dedicated mutex (s_error_notify_mutex) serializes
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() against kobject_del() in ext4_unregister_sysfs()
to prevent TOCTOU races where the kobject could be deleted between the
state_in_sysfs check and the sysfs_notify() call. |

ACPI: EC: clean up handlers on probe failure in acpi_ec_setup()
When ec_install_handlers() returns -EPROBE_DEFER on reduced-hardware
platforms, it has already started the EC and installed the address
space handler with the struct acpi_ec pointer as handler context.
However, acpi_ec_setup() propagates the error without any cleanup.
The caller acpi_ec_add() then frees the struct acpi_ec for non-boot
instances, leaving a dangling handler context in ACPICA.
Any subsequent AML evaluation that accesses an EC OpRegion field
dispatches into acpi_ec_space_handler() with the freed pointer,
causing a use-after-free:

its svc_export_cache in seq->private, but takes no reference
on the namespace. If the namespace is subsequently torn down
(e.g. container destruction after the opener does setns() to a
different namespace), nfsd_net_exit() calls nfsd_export_shutdown()
which frees the cache. Subsequent reads on the still-open fd
dereference the freed cache_detail, walking a freed hash table.
Hold a reference on the struct net for the lifetime of the open
file descriptor. This prevents nfsd_net_exit() from running --
and thus prevents nfsd_export_shutdown() from freeing the cache
-- while any exports fd is open. cache_detail already stores
its net pointer (cd->net, set by cache_create_net()), so
exports_release() can retrieve it without additional per-file
storage. |

spi: fix use-after-free on controller registration failure
Make sure to deregister from driver core also in the unlikely event that
per-cpu statistics allocation fails during controller registration to
avoid use-after-free (of driver resources) and unclocked register
accesses. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: shaper: protect late read accesses to the hierarchy
We look up a netdev during prep of Netlink ops (pre- callbacks)
and take a ref to it. Then later in the body of the callback
we take its lock or RCU which are the actual protections.
This is not proper, a conversion from a ref to a locked netdev
must include a liveness check (a check if the netdev hasn't been
unregistered already). Fix the read cases (those under RCU).
Writes needs a separate change to protect from creating the
hierarchy after flush has already run. |
