net/smc: release the internal TCP sock on IPPROTO_SMC socket creation failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: release the internal TCP sock on IPPROTO_SMC socket creation failure
IPPROTO_SMC sockets create an internal TCP sock ("clcsock") from the
proto->init hook. When socket creation fails after proto->init has
run - e.g. a cgroup BPF program attached to BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE
denies the socket - sk_common_release() only invokes sk_prot->destroy
if it is set, but neither smc_inet_prot nor smc_inet6_prot defines it,
and smc_destruct() returns early unless sk_state is SMC_CLOSED. As a
result, every failing socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_SMC) call
leaks one tcp_s
drm/xe: Reject page faults from non-fault-mode scratch VMs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Reject page faults from non-fault-mode scratch VMs
Having scratch enabled does not make a VM capable of handling recoverable
page faults. Allowing scratch VMs through the ASID lookup also admits
dma-fence mode VMs.
If such a VM faults on an already valid VMA, the handler reports success
without fixing the fault, causing the GPU to retry indefinitely.
Only allow fault-mode VMs through the ASID lookup. Fault-mode VMs using
scratch remain supported, while faults from 3D VMs are rejected.

virtio-net: Ensure that TCP packets don't overflow gso_segs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-net: Ensure that TCP packets don't overflow gso_segs
The user can specify any gso_size in a packet crafted with an AF_PACKET
PACKET_VNET_HDR socket, even smaller than TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. At the
same time, GSO_MAX_SIZE = 8 * GSO_MAX_SEGS = 8 * 65535. When the user
crafts a packet with gso_size < 8, there is a risk for partial GSO to
overflow the 16-bit gso_segs field when dividing the SKB length by
gso_size.
Adjust gso_size of TCP packets to be at least TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. Keep
gso_size of UDP GSO packets, as gso_size=1 is valid and explicitly
tested at tools/tes
netfilter: nf_tables: move hardware offload step after building the chain blob
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: move hardware offload step after building the chain blob
Allocate the chain blob before the ruleset offload to reduce chances of
entering an inconsistent state where the offloaded ruleset in the nic
and the software ruleset differ.
netfilter: nf_tables: skip double clone set expressions on element insert
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: skip double clone set expressions on element insert
Both the dynset and newsetelem path clone the existing set expressions
when setting set element expressions if no override expressions are
provided. This results in a double clone, once to clone the template set
expressions then another clone on the new element. Add a flag to
annotate if userspace provides a override expression (ie. expression of
the same type of the set but different configuration), otherwise borrow
the existing expression from the set. Add conditionals to release
expression iif they
ALSA: control: Don't add invalid kcontrols to LED layer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: control: Don't add invalid kcontrols to LED layer
The kcontrol LED state layer tries to track the all associated
kcontrol elements with naive assumptions that they are readable.
But one can create a write-only element that has no get callback (even
a user element can do it), and this may lead to a NULL dereference at
the call chain of snd_ctl_led_notify(), as found by syzkaller.
For avoiding the Oops, add a sanity check of the kcontrol's info and
get callbacks, and just skip the invalid kcontrols before assigning
the kctl to the LED layer.
net: stmmac: restore NET_IP_ALIGN in the RX DMA offset
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: restore NET_IP_ALIGN in the RX DMA offset
Since the RX path was converted to zero-copy, the page pool page is handed
to the stack directly as the skb head, and the offset the DMA engine writes
at is what determines the alignment of the packet headers.
Before the conversion the payload was copied into an skb obtained from
napi_alloc_skb(), which reserves NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN. The
conversion moved the headroom into stmmac_rx_offset() but did not carry
over NET_IP_ALIGN, so on architectures where NET_IP_ALIGN is 2 the IP
header now lands misaligned:

net/sched: bound qdisc_pkt_len to prevent qdisc soft lockup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: bound qdisc_pkt_len to prevent qdisc soft lockup
qdisc_get_stab() accepts a user-supplied size table, and
__qdisc_calculate_pkt_len() amplifies qdisc_pkt_len() through the
overhead, the size-table data (u16), and size_log (up to
STAB_SIZE_LOG_MAX). A crafted stab can therefore set qdisc_pkt_len()
to ~1 GiB for an ordinary skb. Per-flow deficit schedulers such as
DRR and ETS replenish one quantum per loop iteration; with a tiny
quantum (1) they spin billions of times under the qdisc lock,
producing a soft lockup / RCU stall as illustrated by vega@nebusec.ai.

slip: remove slip_hangup() to fix use-after-free in slip_receive_buf()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
slip: remove slip_hangup() to fix use-after-free in slip_receive_buf()
Jaeyoung Chung and Eulgyu Kim reported a slab-use-after-free read
in slip_receive_buf() when racing against tty hangup.
tty_ldisc_hangup() calls ld->ops->hangup() while holding only
a read lock on tty->ldisc_sem (via tty_ldisc_ref()).
Because slip_hangup() simply called slip_close(), it ran concurrently
with reader functions such as slip_receive_buf().
slip_close() unregisters and frees the net device and its private
struct slip, causing concurrent reader threads in slip_receive_buf()
to dereference fr
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fec: only stop PTP if it was initialized
fec_ptp_init() is only called when fep->bufdesc_ex is available.
However, fec_probe() unconditionally calls fec_ptp_stop() on the
failed_init path, and fec_drv_remove() unconditionally calls
fec_ptp_stop() during device removal.
Check fep->bufdesc_ex before calling fec_ptp_stop() in both paths
to avoid stopping PTP when it was not initialized.

tcp: fix corruption of urgent data on multi-segment retransmit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix corruption of urgent data on multi-segment retransmit
On the normal xmit path, while in urgent mode we refuse to build a
multi-segment TSO packet, so every segment gets its own urg_ptr:
/* tcp_write_xmit() */
limit = mss_now;
if (tso_segs > 1 && !tcp_urg_mode(tp))
limit = tcp_mss_split_point(...);
The retransmit path has no such guard. __tcp_retransmit_skb() builds a
segs > 1 skb and hands it to the GSO layer, which only advances th->seq
per segment and copies urg_ptr verbatim:
/* __tcp_retransmit_skb() */
len = cur_mss * segs; /* segs > 1, no urg_mode c
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_htb: limit htb_classify inner-class filter hops
htb_classify() follows each filter-selected inner class by switching
to cl->filter_list, but never bounds the number of hops. A filter on
an inner class can point back to itself or to another inner class that
points back, creating an infinite loop in the packet classification
path with the qdisc lock held and BH disabled — a soft lockup / panic
from a single packet.
Bound the traversal with a hop counter and drop the packet with a
rate-limited warning once the bound is exceeded. The counter is
incremented at th
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: reject non zerocopy devmem tx
Devmem tcp tx doesn't work without zero-copy, however it's not currently
enforced if NETIF_F_SG isn't present. In this case, tcp_sendmsg_locked()
will try the copy path and try to copy data from an iovec which consists
of offsets into the dma-buf and would normally fail. Moreover,
d9c56501c72fd ("net: tcp: block mixing readable and unreadable frags")
relies on that and assumes that the devmem binding is present IFF we're
using the zero-copy path, which can be used to mix net-iov and pages in
a single skb, and break invariants. Let's reject
net: skbuff: don't skb_tx_error() the source skb in skb_zerocopy()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: skbuff: don't skb_tx_error() the source skb in skb_zerocopy()
skb_zerocopy() copies frags from @from into @to. On an
skb_orphan_frags() failure it calls skb_tx_error(@from), a destructive
operation on the source skb the copy helper does not own. That completes
@from's zerocopy uarg and clears SKBFL_ALL_ZEROCOPY, including the
SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG page-ownership marker.
Both callers already report the failure on their own drop path.
nfnetlink_queue does it at nla_put_failure, and Open vSwitch does it in
the flow-miss drop arm of ovs_dp_process_packet(), so nothing is lost
fs/ntfs3: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in ni_create_attr_list()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in ni_create_attr_list()
ni_create_attr_list() allocates a fixed buffer of al_aligned(record_size)
(== record_size) bytes and then walks every attribute of the primary MFT
record, writing one ATTR_LIST_ENTRY per attribute and advancing the cursor
by le_size(name_len), with no check against the end of the buffer; the
total size is only computed after the loop.
A minimum-size resident attribute occupies SIZEOF_RESIDENT (0x18 = 24)
bytes on disk, but an unnamed attribute expands to le_size(0) (0x20 = 32)
bytes in the list. Because the n
drm/xe: Don't hand out the flat CCS storage as usable VRAM
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Don't hand out the flat CCS storage as usable VRAM
get_flat_ccs_offset() reads the base of the flat CCS storage from the
hardware, scales it by the number of enabled L3 nodes, and rounds the
result up to 128K. Everything below that offset is then handed to the
VRAM allocator as usable memory.
Rounding a limit that means "usable memory ends here" upwards publishes
whatever lies between the real base and the rounded one as free memory,
and that memory belongs to the compression hardware. The scaled value
has no reason to be 128K aligned, and on a Battlemage G21 wit

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: ffs: fix mm lifetime handling
io_data stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct,
but does not currently hold a reference to it while async

This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before
completion handling finishes.
Take a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request

usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix Use-After-Free in AIO error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix Use-After-Free in AIO error path
In ffs_epfile_write_iter() and ffs_epfile_read_iter(), when ffs_epfile_io()
fails with an error other than -EIOCBQUEUED, the io_data structure (`p`) is
freed. However, for AIO operations, the kiocb cancel function was already
armed and kiocb->private was set to `p`.
If a concurrent cancel operation (such as sys_io_cancel()) executes after
ffs_epfile_io() fails but before the function frees `p`, a Use-After-Free
can occur when the cancellation handler accesses the freed pointer.
To securely fix this race condition, we
