| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Preserve pointer state for commuted arithmetic
When scalar += pointer is handled in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the
destination register inherits the pointer state from the source pointer.
Copying only selected fields is fragile because pointer provenance is
tracked by several bpf_reg_state fields.
Use the caller's temporary offset register to preserve the scalar operand
while replacing the destination with the full pointer state. This preserves
the frame number for PTR_TO_STACK registers and keeps parent identity
fields consistent. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: fix potential use-after-free in tunnel segmentation
__skb_udp_tunnel_segment() gets the UDP header before ensuring the
tunnel header is in the skb head. If the pull reallocates skb->head,
the saved UDP header pointer is no longer valid.
Get the UDP header after the pull to avoid a potential use-after-free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: clear control chunk transport if it is being removed
sctp_make_heartbeat_ack() caches the destination transport in
chunk->transport without taking a reference. When src_out_of_asoc_ok is
enabled, the HEARTBEAT ACK may remain queued on control_chunk_list instead
of being transmitted immediately.
If the peer transport is removed while the chunk is still queued,
sctp_assoc_rm_peer() drops the transport and schedules it for RCU freeing,
but only clears cached transport pointers in out_chunk_list. The queued
control chunk therefore retains a dangling transport pointer.
Once an ASCONF_ACK clears the suppression and the queued control chunk is
transmitted, SCTP dereferences the stale transport pointer, leading to a
use-after-free.
Fix this by also clearing chunk->transport for queued control chunks in
control_chunk_list when removing the transport. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/packet: reset the MAC header on the packet-socket transmit path
packet_parse_headers() resets the MAC header only for a SOCK_RAW frame
whose socket did not bind a protocol. A protocol-bound SOCK_RAW socket,
any SOCK_DGRAM frame, and the legacy SOCK_PACKET path therefore leave
skb->mac_header unset here.
For frames sent via __dev_queue_xmit() this is harmless: it resets the
MAC header unconditionally. But the packet-socket PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS
path uses dev_direct_xmit(), which does not, so the frame reaches
ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset. A driver that reads
eth_hdr(skb) on transmit then dereferences skb->head + (u16)~0, an
out-of-bounds access ~64 KiB past the head -- the same class fixed for
one consumer in commit f5089008f90c ("macsec: do not read an unset MAC
header in macsec_encrypt()").
packet_parse_headers() runs only on the transmit path, where skb->data
points at the start of the L2 header for every packet-socket type
regardless of its length: SOCK_RAW and SOCK_PACKET carry a user-supplied
header and SOCK_DGRAM has one built by dev_hard_header(). Reset the MAC
header unconditionally, mirroring __dev_queue_xmit(), so the frame is
anchored on the bypass path too.
Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis;
verified against source and matched to the macsec KASAN report in
f5089008f90c. Compile-tested. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ebt_nflog: pin the NFLOG backend
nf_log_unregister() runs after the per-net teardown so its final RCU
grace period also drains readers that obtained the logger from a per-net
binding. However, ebt_nflog passes an explicit ULOG log type to
nf_log_packet() without holding a reference on the selected logger module,
unlike the xt_NFLOG and nft_log frontends.
An ebtables nflog rule can therefore remain callable while nfnetlink_log
is unloaded. The resulting interleaving is:
CPU 0 CPU 1
nfnetlink_log_fini()
unregister_pernet_subsys()
kfree(nfnl_log_pernet(net))
ebt_nflog_tg()
nf_log_packet()
nfulnl_log_packet()
instance_lookup_get_rcu()
The global ULOG logger is still registered at this point, so CPU 1
dereferences the per-net state after CPU 0 has freed it. KASAN reported:

module teardown until all ebt_nflog rules have stopped using the logger. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detach
perf_group_detach() handles leader and sibling detach differently. When the
group leader is detached, all siblings are promoted to singleton events and
their group_leader pointer is reset to themselves. When a sibling is
detached, it is removed from the leader's sibling_list, but its
group_leader pointer is left pointing at the old leader.
That is harmless when the sibling is being closed and freed immediately, as
in the DETACH_DEAD path. It is not safe when the sibling is detached but
kept alive, such as during CPU hotplug with DETACH_GROUP. In that case the
sibling is removed from the context, while its file descriptor can still
keep it alive.
A typical failing sequence is:
- A group contains leader L and sibling S.
- CPU hot-unplug detaches S with DETACH_GROUP, removing it from
L->sibling_list but leaving S->group_leader == L.
- L is later closed and freed.
- A PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP ioctl on S follows S->group_leader and
dereferences the freed leader.
This was reproduced by running the perf event fuzzer, CPU hotplug, and a
stress workload concurrently:

Also fix __event_disable() cgroup accounting and event state change. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: read le->link under the node lock in tipc_node_link_down()
tipc_node_link_down() caches the link pointer before taking n->lock:
struct tipc_link *l = le->link; /* unlocked */
if (!l)
return;
tipc_node_write_lock(n);
if (!tipc_link_is_establishing(l)) { /* deref l */
...
tipc_link_reset(l); /* write into l */
if (delete) {
kfree(l);
le->link = NULL;
The delete=true caller frees that very object under n->lock, so the lock
does not protect the cached pointer against it:
- CPU A, delete=false: tipc_rcv() on TIPC_LINK_DOWN_EVT, or the link
supervision timer via tipc_node_timeout(), reads l unlocked and then
dereferences it under n->lock;
- CPU B, delete=true: netlink TIPC_NL_BEARER_DISABLE -> bearer_disable()
-> tipc_node_delete_links() -> tipc_node_link_down(n, bearer_id, true)
-> kfree(l).
The link is freed with plain kfree(), not kfree_rcu(), and for UDP bearers
disable_media() only schedules the asynchronous cleanup_bearer() work, so
its synchronize_net() runs after the links are already gone. An in-flight
CPU A that has read l therefore dereferences freed memory once B frees it:
a use-after-free read in tipc_link_is_establishing(), and a use-after-free
write via tipc_link_reset() on the establishing branch.
The following trace was captured on 7.2.0-rc5-00284-gaf39eb111ce6:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: Fix use-after-free in cifs_try_adding_channels()
cifs_try_adding_channels() takes a temporary reference to an interface
before dropping iface_lock. If cifs_ses_add_channel() fails, it drops
that reference and then increments iface->weight_fulfilled.
A concurrent interface list refresh can remove the list reference while
channel creation is in progress. In that case, the failure-path
kref_put() releases the last reference and frees iface. Updating
weight_fulfilled afterward then accesses freed memory.
Increment weight_fulfilled before dropping the temporary reference,
keeping iface alive for the final access. |

Revert "thermal/drivers/hwmon: Cleanup coding style a bit"
Revert commit 030a48b0f6ce ("thermal/drivers/hwmon: Cleanup coding style
a bit") that introduced a use-after-free into the error path of
thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs() by removing a valid check from it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: clear new_transport when removing a peer
sctp_process_asconf_param() stores a newly added peer transport in
asoc->new_transport. After all parameters in the ASCONF chunk have been
processed, sctp_sf_do_asconf() uses this pointer to send a HEARTBEAT to the
new transport.
An authenticated ASCONF from a remote SCTP peer can add a transport and
remove it again with a wildcard DEL-IP parameter in the same chunk. The
wildcard deletion preserves the transport on which the ASCONF arrived, but
removes the newly added transport through
sctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(). The removal does not clear
asoc->new_transport, leaving it pointing to the removed transport.
sctp_sf_do_asconf() then creates a HEARTBEAT whose chunk->transport points
to the removed transport without holding a transport reference. During
local address replacement, src_out_of_asoc_ok keeps this HEARTBEAT on
control_chunk_list. After the transport is freed by RCU, a successful
ASCONF_ACK for the replacement address releases the queued HEARTBEAT and
sctp_outq_select_transport() reads the freed transport's state.
The issue was found during a static audit of SCTP objects. With an
authenticated peer, the reproducer triggered the same KASAN report in 2
of 2 unpatched runs on a KASAN-enabled netdev/main kernel:

Clear new_transport when its peer is removed, before it can be used to

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost: reset the vring metadata cache on vring reconfiguration
vq->meta_iotlb[] caches the vhost_iotlb_map that backs each vring
metadata region, and iotlb_access_ok() returns early on a cache hit,
taking the hit as proof that the region has already been validated:
if (vhost_vq_meta_fetch(vq, addr, len, type))
return true;
The cache is reset on VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE and VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE, on
device IOTLB (re)initialisation and on vq reset, but not when
VHOST_SET_VRING_ADDR replaces vq->desc, vq->avail and vq->used, nor when
VHOST_SET_VRING_NUM changes the region sizes.
With a device IOTLB attached both ioctls are accepted while the vq is
live, and neither validates the addresses at ioctl time: vq_access_ok()
and vq_log_used_access_ok() return true early because the addresses are
GIOVAs, deferring validation to prefetch time. Once the cache has been
populated that deferred validation no longer runs -- vq_meta_prefetch()
hits the stale entry and returns true -- and vhost_vq_meta_fetch() keeps
translating through the old mapping as
map->addr + addr - map->start
for an address the mapping no longer covers. vhost_copy_to_user() and
vhost_copy_from_user() consume the result with __copy_to_user() and
__copy_from_user(), which do not check it either, so a subsequent used
ring update or descriptor fetch accesses memory outside the region the
IOTLB actually maps.
Reset the metadata cache whenever the vring is reconfigured, so the new
addresses are pushed back through iotlb_access_ok()'s slow path. |

KVM: arm64: vgic: Fix race between LPI release and re-registration
Fix a potential race between decrementing an LPI's reference count and
evicting that structure from the LPI xarray.
LPI structures are maintained in the VGIC LPI xarray (dist->lpi_xa).
When the reference count of an LPI structure drops to zero,
vgic_release_lpi_locked() removes the structure from the xarray and
frees it under the xarray lock.
However, the release of an LPI can race with a concurrent LPI
re-registration with the same INTID via vgic_add_lpi() on another CPU,
since the reference count drop and the xarray eviction are not performed
in a single atomic step. This can happen e.g. if the guest issues a
DISCARD while the LPI is still referenced from a vCPU's active-pending
list (ap_list), and the same INTID is re-mapped via MAPTI.
Particularly, vgic_release_lpi_locked() is called from two distinct
paths: direct release via vgic_put_irq(), and deferred release via
vgic_release_deleted_lpis(). During direct release, the issue can result
in deleting a newly registered LPI from the xarray:
CPU0 (Releasing LPI) CPU1 (Adding new LPI)
==================== =====================
vgic_put_irq()
__vgic_put_irq()
refcount_dec_and_test()
vgic_add_lpi()
xa_lock_irqsave()
old_irq = xa_load(.., intid)
vgic_try_get_irq_ref(old_irq) == false
new IRQ inserted --> __xa_store(.., intid, ..)
xa_unlock_irqrestore()
xa_lock_irqsave();
vgic_release_lpi_locked()
__xa_erase(.., irq->intid) <-- BUG: new IRQ is erased
kfree_rcu(old_irq)
During the deferred release path, the old IRQ can be leaked:
CPU0 (Releasing LPI) CPU1 (Adding new LPI)
==================== =====================
vgic_put_irq_norelease()
__vgic_put_irq()
refcount_dec_and_test()
irq->pending_release = true
vgic_add_lpi()
xa_lock_irqsave()
old_irq = xa_load(.., intid)
vgic_try_get_irq_ref(oldirq) == false
BUG: old IRQ overwritten --> __xa_store(.., intid, ..)
xa_unlock_irqrestore()
vgic_release_deleted_lpis()
xa_lock_irqsave()
xa_for_each() { .. } <-- old IRQ with pending_release = true
is gone, so it cannot be released
To fix the direct release path, move the reference count drop inside
the xarray lock, making sure that vgic_add_lpi() never encounters the
to-be-released LPI.
In the deferred release path, the refcount drop must happen under a raw
spinlock, so the xarray lock cannot be grabbed, and the same solution
does not work. Instead, update vgic_add_lpi(), so that if it evicts
an LPI from the xarray, it takes on the responsibility of freeing it.
Consequently, an LPI may now be freed concurrently after a deferred
release drops the refcount, so accessing the pending_release field is no
longer safe from use-after-free. Delete all uses of the flag, and update
vgic_release_deleted_lpis() to identify orphaned LPIs purely based on
their refcount. |

forcedeth: fix UAF of txrx_stats in nv_remove
nv_remove() frees the per-CPU txrx_stats before unregister_netdev().
Until unregister completes, ndo_get_stats64, the NAPI/xmit data path,

use-after-free.
Free the stats only after unregister_netdev(). |

Bluetooth: ISO: avoid deadlocks in iso_sock_timeout

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix potential use-after-free in audit_del_rule()
`audit_del_rule()` destroys `e->rule.exe` via `audit_remove_mark_rule()`
before unlinking the rule from RCU-visible filter lists and waiting for a
grace period. Concurrent readers in `audit_filter()` and
`audit_filter_rules()` still dereference `e->rule.exe`, while the fsnotify
mark can be freed on an independent lifetime path. This creates a
use-after-free window during rule deletion.
Fix this by unlinking the rule from the RCU-visible lists and invoking
`synchronize_rcu()` before calling `audit_remove_mark_rule()` (and other
rule removal helpers). This ensures that all existing RCU readers have
exited the critical section before any underlying resources are destroyed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: mgmt: fix UAF in pair command cancellation
The pairing completion and authentication failure callbacks look up the
pending MGMT_OP_PAIR_DEVICE command by walking hdev->mgmt_pending. The
lookup returned a command that was still linked on the shared pending list,
without keeping mgmt_pending_lock held for the later dereference and
removal.
A concurrent MGMT_OP_CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE request can remove and free the
same pending command before the callback uses it. The reverse race is also
possible when cancel_pair_device() gets a command from pending_find() and a
callback removes it before the cancel path dereferences it. This can lead
to a use-after-free and a second list_del().
Make the pairing lookup helpers transfer ownership of the pending command
by removing it from hdev->mgmt_pending while holding mgmt_pending_lock.
The callbacks and cancel path then complete the command and free it
directly, so racing paths cannot find or free the same command again. Take
a temporary hci_conn reference in cancel_pair_device() because the command
completion drops the reference stored in the pending command. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: HIDP: validate numbered report payloads
When hidp_get_raw_report() waits for a numbered report,
hidp_process_data() compares the expected report number with skb->data[0].
A connected HIDP peer can reply with only a DATA transaction header,
leaving the skb empty after the header is removed.
KMSAN reports an uninitialized-value use in hidp_session_run(), with the
value originating in __alloc_skb() through vhci_write(). The transaction
header checks remove the empty-frame reports, but this report remains until
the payload check is added.
The comparison can also consume a peer-controlled byte beyond the declared
L2CAP PDU. A DATA | FEATURE response followed by an extra 0x01 byte made
the current code accept that byte as report ID 1 and complete
HIDIOCGFEATURE with a zero-byte result. With this change the malformed
response is rejected with -EIO, while a subsequent valid response still
succeeds.
Require a payload byte before comparing a numbered report ID. Unnumbered
reports continue to accept an empty payload. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: Fix use-after-free in fou_create()
fou_create() publishes struct fou through sk_user_data before adding the
new FOU port to the per-netns list. If fou_add_to_port_list() fails,
the error path frees fou while it is still reachable through
sk_user_data. A concurrent receive can then dereference the freed
object in fou_from_sock().
This ordering issue was previously noted in the linked discussion.
The failure is reachable when local port 0 is requested. Each socket
binds to a different ephemeral port, but fou_cfg_cmp() compares the
requested port 0 and reports -EALREADY once an entry already exists.
Release the tunnel socket before freeing fou so sk_user_data is cleared
first, and defer reclamation with kfree_rcu() to protect concurrent RCU
readers. This matches the lifetime handling in fou_release(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix socket use-after-free during link group termination
__smc_lgr_terminate() drops conns_lock after finding a connection in
lgr->conns_all, but before taking a reference on its socket. The connection
is embedded in the socket, and its registration reference protects it only
while the connection remains in the tree.
A concurrent close can unregister the connection and drop that reference,
freeing the socket before the termination worker reaches sock_hold().
The race is reachable when close overlaps link group termination.
Local stress testing reproduced the use-after-free and KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __smc_lgr_terminate.part.0 [smc]
Write of size 4 by task kworker/3:3
Workqueue: events smc_lgr_terminate_work [smc]

Take the socket reference while conns_lock still protects the tree entry.
The unregister path then cannot drop the last reference until termination
has finished using the socket. |
