| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: bnxt: avoid deadlock when canceling IRQ affinity notifier
Unregistering IRQ affinity notifiers waits for the callback synchronously.
bnxt takes the netdev instance lock in the notifier (to restart the queue)
and cancels the work under the same lock. This may obviously deadlock.
Move the restart to the async service task. The queue restart isn't
super time sensitive. Store the new TPH tag, schedule the task.
Safely canceling the service task is already ironed out.
In bnxt_request_irq() the order of registering notifier, affinity and
initial TPH programming has to be inverted. I think it was racy
previously since user may trigger an update as soon as notifier
is installed.
There's a small known gap - if pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() fails at init
and the target tag is 0 we may miss programming the entry.
This does not seem worth fixing, the code has skip-on-failure
all over the place, anyway. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock in read error recovery path
raid1d and raid10d may resubmit a split md cloned bio while handling
a read error. In this case, resubmitting the bio can lead to a deadlock
if the array is suspended before md_handle_request() acquires an
active_io reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live().
Since the cloned bio already holds an active_io reference,
trying to acquire another reference via percpu_ref_tryget_live()
can lead to a deadlock while the array is suspended.
Fix this by using percpu_ref_get() for md cloned bios. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1,raid10: fix error-path detection with md_cloned_bio()
Detect the error path using md_cloned_bio() instead of relying
on r1_bio in raid1 or r10_bio->read_slot in raid10, which may be
NULL or -1 after splitting and resubmitting a failed bio.
As a result, the error path may not be recognized and memory
allocations can incorrectly use GFP_NOIO instead of
(GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH), which can lead to a deadlock under
memory pressure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: validate donor file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
Reject the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl early if the donor file does not
belong to the same superblock as the original file. Currently, this
validation is performed inside ext4_move_extents() by
mext_check_validity(), but only after lock_two_nondirectories() has
already acquired the inode locks. When the donor fd refers to a file
on a different filesystem (e.g., overlayfs), this late validation
creates a circular lock dependency:
CPU0 (overlayfs write) CPU1 (ext4 ioctl)
---- ----
inode_lock(ovl_inode)
mnt_want_write_file(filp)
sb_start_write(ext4_sb) [sb_writers]
backing_file_write_iter()
vfs_iter_write(real_file)
file_start_write(real_file)
sb_start_write(ext4_sb) [blocked by freeze]
lock_two_nondirectories()
inode_lock(ovl_inode) [blocked]
With a concurrent freeze operation holding sb_writers write side, this
forms a deadlock cycle: CPU0 waits for freeze to complete, freeze waits
for CPU1's sb_writers reader to exit, CPU1 waits for CPU0's inode lock.
Since EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT exchanges physical extents between two files,
it fundamentally requires both files to reside on the same ext4
filesystem. Moving the superblock check before any lock acquisition
is both semantically correct and eliminates the circular dependency
by ensuring that cross-filesystem donor fds are rejected before
sb_writers or inode locks are taken. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/guc: Hold device ref until queue teardown completes
GuC exec queue destruction can run asynchronously. If the final device
put happens from a destroy worker, drmm cleanup can end up draining
the same workqueue and deadlock.
Hold a drm_device reference for the queue lifetime and drop it after
queue teardown completes. This keeps drmm cleanup from running while
async destroy work is still pending.
Move GuC destroy work to a module-lifetime Xe workqueue and flush it
on PCI remove so hot-unbind/rebind still waits for pending destroy work.
With queue-held device refs, guc_submit_sw_fini() cannot run with live
GuC IDs. Replace the fini wait with an assertion and remove the unused
fini_wq.
v2:
- Rebase
v3:
- Switch to queue-lifetime drm_dev_get()/drm_dev_put() model. (Matt)
- Queue async teardown on system_dfl_wq instead of xe->destroy_wq. (Matt)
- Drop separate deferred drm_dev_put worker.
- Remove stale drain_workqueue(xe->destroy_wq) from guc_submit_sw_fini().
v4:
- Replace the guc_submit_sw_fini() wait with an assertion and remove
the now-unused fini_wq. (sashiko)
v5:
- Move destroy work to a module-lifetime Xe workqueue instead of
system_dfl_wq. (Matt)
- Flush the module-lifetime destroy workqueue during PCI remove to
preserve the old device-remove wait semantics.
v6:
- Keep SVM pagemap destroy work on the per-device destroy_wq to avoid
letting it outlive the xe_device/drm_device. (Sashiko)
- Use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM for xe->destroy_wq because SVM pagemap destroy work
can be queued from the reclaim path.
v7:
- Drop the per-device xe->destroy_wq and use the module-level destroy WQ
for SVM pagemap destroy as well. (Matt)
- Rename xe_exec_queue_destroy_wq_*() helpers to xe_destroy_wq_*()
helpers because the WQ is no longer exec-queue specific. (Matt)
v8:
- Rebase.
v9:
- Keep SVM pagemap destroy work on the per-device WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
destroy_wq because it can be queued from reclaim and embeds
the dev_pagemap used by devres teardown. (Sashiko)
- Keep the module-level destroy WQ GuC-only and drop WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
from it.
- Update the module-WQ kdoc to document the GuC/SVM split.
v10:
- Keep xe->destroy_wq per-cpu while adding WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to fix the
workqueue allocation warning.
v11:
- Drop the SVM pagemap destroy comment as it was revision-specific.
(Thomas)
v12:
- Rebase.

| Improper synchronization in the OpenVPN ovpn-dco-win for Windows versions 0.6.5 through 1.3.5 and 2.4.0 through 2.8.7 allows local attackers to trigger a deadlock via a crafted write to the ovpn-dco device, causing the host to become unresponsive. |

fs/fcntl: fix SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling
A SOFTIRQ-safe to SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order deadlock can occur in
send_sigio() and send_sigurg() when a process group receives a signal.
When FASYNC is configured for a process group (PIDTYPE_PGID), both
functions use read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to traverse the task list.
However, they are frequently called from softirq context:
- send_sigio() via input_inject_event -> kill_fasync
- send_sigurg() via tcp_check_urg -> sk_send_sigurg (NET_RX_SOFTIRQ)
The deadlock is caused by the rwlock writer fairness mechanism:
1. CPU 0 (process context) holds read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in do_wait().
2. CPU 1 (process context) attempts write_lock(&tasklist_lock) in
fork() or exit() and spins, which blocks all new readers.
3. CPU 0 is interrupted by a softirq (e.g., TCP URG packet reception).
4. The softirq calls send_sigurg() and attempts to acquire
read_lock(&tasklist_lock), deadlocking because CPU 1 is waiting.
Since PID hashing and do_each_pid_task() traversals are already
RCU-protected, the read_lock on tasklist_lock is no longer strictly
required for safe traversal. Fix this by replacing tasklist_lock with
rcu_read_lock(), aligning the process group signaling path with the
single-PID path. This also mitigates a potential remote denial of
service vector via TCP URG packets.

nvmet: avoid recursive nvmet-wq flush in nvmet_ctrl_free
nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() runs on nvmet-wq and can drop the

nvmet_ctrl_free(), the teardown path flushes ctrl->async_event_work on
the same nvmet-wq.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: vport: fix self-deadlock on release of tunnel ports
vports are used concurrently and protected by RCU, so netdev_put()
must happen after the RCU grace period. So, either in an RCU call or
after the synchronize_net(). The rtnl_delete_link() must happen under
RTNL and so can't be executed in RCU context. Calling synchronize_net()
while holding RTNL is not a good idea for performance and system
stability under load in general, so calling netdev_put() in RCU call
is the right solution here.
However,
when the device is deleted, rtnl_unlock() will call netdev_run_todo()
and block until all the references are gone. In the current code this
means that we never reach the call_rcu() and the vport is never freed
and the reference is never released, causing a self-deadlock on device
removal.
Fix that by moving the rcu_call() before the rtnl_unlock(), so the
scheduled RCU callback will be executed when synchronize_net() is
called from the rtnl_unlock()->netdev_run_todo() while the RTNL itself
is already released. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: aqc111: Do not perform PM inside suspend callback
syzbot reports "task hung in rpm_resume"
This is caused by aqc111_suspend calling
the PM variant of its write_cmd routine.
The simplified call trace looks like this:
rpm_suspend()
usb_suspend_both() - here udev->dev.power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDING
aqc111_suspend() - called for the usb device interface
aqc111_write32_cmd()
usb_autopm_get_interface()
pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
rpm_resume() - here we call rpm_resume() on our parent
rpm_resume() - Here we wait for a status change that will never happen.
At this point we block another task which holds
rtnl_lock and locks up the whole networking stack.
Fix this by replacing the write_cmd calls with their _nopm variants |

phy_led_triggers_registers() does not require the RTNL, it does not
make any calls into the network stack which require protection. There
is also no requirement the PHY has been attached to a MAC, the
triggers only make use of phydev state. This allows the call to
phy_led_triggers_registers() to be placed elsewhere. PHY probe() and
release() don't hold RTNL, so solving the AB-BA deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: mcp251x: fix deadlock in error path of mcp251x_open
The mcp251x_open() function call free_irq() in its error path with the
mpc_lock mutex held. But if an interrupt already occurred the
interrupt handler will be waiting for the mpc_lock and free_irq() will
deadlock waiting for the handler to finish.
This issue is similar to the one fixed in commit 7dd9c26bd6cf ("can:
mcp251x: fix deadlock if an interrupt occurs during mcp251x_open") but
for the error path.
To solve this issue move the call to free_irq() after the lock is
released. Setting `priv->force_quit = 1` beforehand ensure that the IRQ
handler will exit right away once it acquired the lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: avoid holding freeze_mutex during mmap operation
We use map->freeze_mutex to prevent races between map_freeze() and
memory mapping BPF map contents with writable permissions. The way we
naively do this means we'll hold freeze_mutex for entire duration of all
the mm and VMA manipulations, which is completely unnecessary. This can
potentially also lead to deadlocks, as reported by syzbot in [0].
So, instead, hold freeze_mutex only during writeability checks, bump
(proactively) "write active" count for the map, unlock the mutex and
proceed with mmap logic. And only if something went wrong during mmap
logic, then undo that "write active" counter increment.

ipv6: Fix soft lockups in fib6_select_path under high next hop churn
Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers
located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these
routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently
changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6
traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath
circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly
while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically
arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted
concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and
'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference
count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a
soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer.
Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the
issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to
annotate or use the RCU APIs.
Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script
periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load
of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It
consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sysv: don't call sb_bread() with pointers_lock held
syzbot is reporting sleep in atomic context in SysV filesystem [1], for
sb_bread() is called with rw_spinlock held.
A "write_lock(&pointers_lock) => read_lock(&pointers_lock) deadlock" bug
and a "sb_bread() with write_lock(&pointers_lock)" bug were introduced by
"Replace BKL for chain locking with sysvfs-private rwlock" in Linux 2.5.12.
Then, "[PATCH] err1-40: sysvfs locking fix" in Linux 2.6.8 fixed the
former bug by moving pointers_lock lock to the callers, but instead
introduced a "sb_bread() with read_lock(&pointers_lock)" bug (which made
this problem easier to hit).
Al Viro suggested that why not to do like get_branch()/get_block()/
find_shared() in Minix filesystem does. And doing like that is almost a
revert of "[PATCH] err1-40: sysvfs locking fix" except that get_branch()
from with find_shared() is called without write_lock(&pointers_lock). |
| systemd 250 and 251 allows local users to achieve a systemd-coredump deadlock by triggering a crash that has a long backtrace. This occurs in parse_elf_object in shared/elf-util.c. The exploitation methodology is to crash a binary calling the same function recursively, and put it in a deeply nested directory to make its backtrace large enough to cause the deadlock. This must be done 16 times when MaxConnections=16 is set for the systemd/units/systemd-coredump.socket file. |
| Guests can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] The patch for XSA-392 introduced another issue which might result in a deadlock when trying to free the SKB of a packet dropped due to the XSA-392 handling (CVE-2022-42328). Additionally when dropping packages for other reasons the same deadlock could occur in case of netpoll being active for the interface the xen-netback driver is connected to (CVE-2022-42329). |
