| A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service via LDP messages received over an operational LDP session. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability has been reported to affect Qsync Central. If a remote attacker gains a user account, they can then exploit the vulnerability to launch a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following version:
Qsync Central 5.0.0.4 and later |
| A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the routing-policy nexthop-ECMP matcher of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a configured eBGP peer to cause a routing-daemon denial of service via a specific BGP packet received while a nexthop-ecmp qualifier is attached to a BGP import policy. |
| TLS 1.3 embeds the actual record type as the last non-zero byte of the decrypted payload, optionally followed by zero padding. The code which searches for the inner record type had an off-by-one bug which could be triggered by an invalid frame, leading to an underflow followed by an unconditional NULL pointer dereference, causing a kernel panic.
A remote TLS 1.3 peer can send a specially crafted record to trigger a kernel panic, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Don't dereference a NULL collection on ITT save
MAPC with V=0 drops ite->collection but leaves the ITE on the device's
ITT list, and vgic_its_save_ite() dereferences it unconditionally. A
guest that issues MAPD, MAPTI and then MAPC(V=0) therefore oopses the
host when the VMM issues KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_SAVE_TABLES to migrate it.
That sequence is UNPREDICTABLE per the architecture, but KVM already
handles the resulting state in the translate, MOVI and DISCARD paths.
Save a zeroed entry, which vgic_its_restore_ite() reads back as
invalid. Skipping the ITE instead would leave the ITT slot holding
whatever is in guest memory, and restore rejects an entry naming a
collection the restored collection table does not have. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix BUG_ON in nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid on racing delegation revoke
nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid reads fp->fi_deleg_file without holding
fi_lock when the parent stateid is a delegation. A concurrent delegation
revoke via the laundromat can clear fi_deleg_file under fi_lock, causing
nfsd_file_get() to return NULL and triggering the BUG_ON.
This race is client-reachable: two NFS clients can trigger it by having
one hold a delegation while another opens the same file to force a
recall. When the first client doesn't respond to the recall, the
laundromat revokes it. A concurrent LAYOUTGET from any client using the
delegation stateid hits the race window.
Fix this by taking fi_lock around the fi_deleg_file read in the
SC_TYPE_DELEG path, matching the locking discipline of the
find_any_file() arm, and replacing the BUG_ON with a graceful error
return that cleans up the partially-initialized layout stateid. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent lock owner use-after-free during client teardown
__destroy_client() releases a client's open owners, but a lock owner
whose only reference is a blocked lock (nbl) stays on
cl_ownerstr_hashtbl. client_has_state() does not count a bare owner,
so DESTROY_CLIENTID can reach __destroy_client() with such owners
present.
__destroy_client() then walks the table, calling remove_blocked_locks()
on each owner without a reference. Freeing a blocked lock drops the
owner reference held via flc_owner. The per-net laundromat reaps
blocked locks from nn->blocked_locks_lru independently of client state.
The two paths share blocked_locks_lock only for the list splice, not
the owner's lifetime. The laundromat therefore frees the owner as
__destroy_client() dereferences it, a NULL dereference in
remove_blocked_locks().
nfsd4_release_lockowner() holds a reference across the same call;
__destroy_client() does not. Hold cl_lock across the walk, taking a
reference and unhashing each owner, then drop it before
remove_blocked_locks() and nfs4_put_stateowner(), which take
blocked_locks_lock and cl_lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: fix gssx_dec_option_array error path bugs
Four coupled defects in the gssx XDR option-array decoder make the
error paths unsafe: a NULL deref in the caller, a refcount leak on
the decoded group_info, and a latent use-after-free that the leak
fix would otherwise expose.
gssx_dec_option_array() sets oa->count = 1 before allocating
oa->data. If that allocation fails, -ENOMEM is returned with
oa->count == 1 and oa->data == NULL. All other error paths jump
to free_oa: which frees oa->data and NULLs it but also leaves
oa->count == 1. The caller trusts the count:
gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall()
gssx_dec_accept_sec_context()
gssx_dec_option_array() /* fails, count=1 data=NULL */
data = res.options.data[0].value /* NULL deref */
Independently, free_creds: releases the partially decoded svc_cred
with a bare kfree(creds). gssx_dec_linux_creds() installs a
groups_alloc() result into creds->cr_group_info; that object is
kvmalloc-backed and refcounted, and only put_group_info() reaches
kvfree(). A plain kfree(creds) drops the wrapper and leaks the
group_info allocation.
The natural fix for the leak is to call free_svc_cred(creds) before
kfree(creds), but free_svc_cred() invokes put_group_info() on
creds->cr_group_info unconditionally when non-NULL. The existing
out_free_groups: path in gssx_dec_linux_creds() already called
groups_free() on that pointer without clearing it, so once
free_svc_cred() is wired in, the subsequent put_group_info() would
touch freed memory.
Fix all four together:
- Move the oa->count = 1 assignment below the oa->data allocation
so it is never set when oa->data is NULL.
- Reset oa->count to 0 at free_oa: so count and data stay
coherent and the caller sees an empty option array.
- Call free_svc_cred(creds) before kfree(creds) at free_creds:
so the refcounted cr_group_info is released. free_svc_cred()
either NULL-guards each field explicitly (cr_group_info has
an if() check) or delegates to a helper that is NULL-safe
itself (kfree for the string fields, gss_mech_put() which
guards with if(gm) at gss_mech_switch.c:342), so it is safe
to call on a partially decoded svc_cred where only
cr_uid/cr_gid/cr_group_info have been written and everything
else is zero from kzalloc.
- In gssx_dec_linux_creds()'s out_free_groups: path, release
cr_group_info with put_group_info() rather than groups_free()
so the teardown matches free_svc_cred()'s refcount-aware path,
and clear the pointer so a later free_svc_cred() on the same
creds does not release it a second time. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
svcrdma: Reject Read lists that exceed the page budget
Individual Read segment lengths are validated at decode time, but
nothing prevents a requester from sending multiple segments whose
cumulative length exceeds the rq_pages array budget. When one
segment fills the page array exactly, the runtime guard in
svc_rdma_build_read_segment() is bypassed because len reaches zero.
A subsequent segment then accesses the NULL sentinel slot at
rq_pages[rq_maxpages], resulting in a NULL pointer dereference during
DMA mapping.
Accumulate pages across all Read segments and reject the message at
decode time when the total would overflow the page budget. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qede: Fix NULL pointer dereference in TPA fragment processing
Under memory pressure, the qede driver encounters NULL pointer
dereferences when processing TPA continuation fragments.
Commit 8a8633978b84 ("qede: Add build_skb() support.") accidentally
dropped the assignment of tpa_info->buffer.data in qede_tpa_start().
When memory pressure causes an SKB allocation failure in qede_tpa_start(),
the driver sets tpa_start_fail = true and attempts to recycle the physical
page later in qede_tpa_end() via qede_reuse_page(). However, because
buffer.data was left uninitialized (NULL), qede_reuse_page() pushes a
"ghost" BD (valid DMA mapping but NULL data pointer) back into the
active Rx ring.
The next time the hardware uses this ring slot, it passes a NULL page
to qede_fill_frag_skb(), causing a kernel panic.
Example crash from production system:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x8

Fix the root cause by restoring the tpa_info->buffer.data assignment
in qede_tpa_start(), ensuring valid pages are correctly tracked and
recycled. Additionally, update the stale comment for
struct qede_agg_info::buffer to reflect its current usage. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix NULL deref on untransmitted RECONF completion
sctp_process_strreset_outreq(), sctp_process_strreset_addstrm_out() and
sctp_process_strreset_resp() complete a pending stream reconfiguration
request by stopping the reconf timer on the transport it was sent on:
t = asoc->strreset_chunk->transport;
if (timer_delete(&t->reconf_timer))
sctp_transport_put(t);
chunk->transport is assigned by __sctp_packet_append_chunk() when the
chunk is appended to an outbound packet, and sctp_outq_flush_ctrl() arms
the reconf timer at that same point. A request already published in
asoc->strreset_chunk but not yet transmitted has neither, so completing
it dereferences NULL.
Two ways to get there. sctp_send_asconf_del_ip() sets
asoc->src_out_of_asoc_ok without sending anything when the address being
removed is the association's last one, and sctp_outq_flush_ctrl() then
leaves every non-ASCONF control chunk queued; as only
sctp_process_asconf_ack() clears that flag, it persists. An unprivileged
process that removes such an address and then asks for a stream reset
panics the kernel from softirq. A peer needs neither ASCONF nor local
help: sctp_cmd_interpreter() uncorks the outqueue only once the whole
packet has been processed, so a reply built while walking a RECONF chunk
stays untransmitted for the rest of that walk, and one RECONF chunk
carrying [Incoming SSN Reset Request, Outgoing SSN Reset Request,
Response] -- or two RECONF chunks in one packet -- reaches the same
dereference.

KVM: x86/mmu: WARN and clear role.invalid when creating a child shadow page
Explicitly clear role.invalid when deriving a child shadow page's role from
its parent to harden against bugs elsewhere in KVM, as violating KVM's
invariant that invalid pages are NOT on the list of active MMU pages leads
to use-after-free due to __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() using list_add()
instead of list_move() when processing an invalid shadow page, i.e. makes a
bad situation far worse.
Yell loudly if the parent is invalid, as it means KVM has missed a validity
check, i.e. KVM is attempting to map memory using an invalid/obsolete root,
but continue on as the child is otherwise still a valid shadow page.

scsi: target: iblock: Fix wrong PR ops NULL check for PREEMPT/RELEASE
In the iblock_execute_pr_out() function, PRO_PREEMPT,
PRO_PREEMPT_AND_ABORT, and PRO_RELEASE all perform callback capability
checks through ops->pr_clear. The error check allows unimplemented hooks
to pass through the gate, resulting dereferencing a NULL function
pointer.
Check whether the hooks that need to be called are supported. |

KVM: s390: pci: Fix NULL dereference on AIBV allocation failure
The airq_iv_create() can return NULL on failure, but the return value was
never checked. If it fails, zdev->aibv will be NULL and fail when
dereferenced in kvm_zpci_set_airq(). Add a NULL check and free the
previously allocated AISB bit and zdev->aisb on failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx: Fix slave registration race and error handling
In i2c_imx_reg_slave(), the slave pointer was assigned before
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(). If pm_runtime_resume_and_get() failed,
the error path returned without clearing i2c_imx->slave, leaving it
non-NULL and causing all subsequent registration attempts to fail
with -EBUSY.
Additionally, because this driver uses a shared IRQ, the interrupt
handler i2c_imx_isr() can execute concurrently and, after acquiring
slave_lock, dereference i2c_imx->slave. The previous fix attempt
added a lockless i2c_imx->slave = NULL on the error path, but that
could race with the ISR under the lock and still cause a NULL pointer
dereference.
Fix both issues by deferring the assignment of i2c_imx->slave and
i2c_imx->last_slave_event to after a successful resume, and by
performing the assignment inside the slave_lock critical section.
This guarantees that the slave pointer is never left stale on the
error path and is always valid when observed by the interrupt handler. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: use READ_ONCE() for dev->driver in dev_has_sync_state()
dev_has_sync_state() reads dev->driver twice without holding
device_lock() -- once for the NULL check and once to dereference
->sync_state. Some callers only hold device_links_write_lock, which
doesn't prevent a concurrent unbind from clearing dev->driver via
device_unbind_cleanup().
Fix it by reading dev->driver exactly once with READ_ONCE(), pairing
with the WRITE_ONCE() in device_set_driver(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_nat: reject unsupported target families
xt_nat SNAT and DNAT target handlers assume IP-family conntrack state
is present and can dereference a NULL pointer when instantiated from an
unsupported family through nft_compat. A bridge-family compat rule can
therefore trigger a NULL-dereference in nf_nat_setup_info().
Reject non-IP families in xt_nat_checkentry() so unsupported targets
cannot be installed. Keep NFPROTO_INET allowed for valid inet NAT
compat users and leave the runtime fast path unchanged.
[ The crash was fixed via
9dbba7e694ec ("netfilter: nft_compat: ebtables emulation must reject non-bridge targets"),
so this patch is no longer critical.
Nevertheless, NAT is only relevant for ipv4/ipv6, so this extra
family check is a good idea in any case. ] |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: alb: re-check primary_is_promisc under RTNL in bond_alb_monitor
bond_alb_monitor() reads primary_is_promisc under RCU, then drops RCU and
takes RTNL via rtnl_trylock() before undoing the promiscuity it set on the
active slave. In that window the active slave can change under RTNL
(RTM_DELLINK -> __bond_release_one() -> bond_alb_handle_active_change()),
which already drops the promiscuity and clears primary_is_promisc. The
monitor still acts on the stale decision: if the slave was removed with no
failover, curr_active_slave is now NULL and the deref faults; if it failed
over, the stale dev_set_promiscuity(-1) underflows the new slave's
promiscuity counter and pins it in IFF_PROMISC.
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ...
