Security Advisory: CVE-2025-47273

Description:

setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages. A path traversal vulnerability in `PackageIndex` is present in setuptools prior to version 78.1.1. An attacker would be allowed to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem with the permissions of the process running the Python code, which could escalate to remote code execution depending on the context. Version 78.1.1 fixes the issue.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: Always pass notifications when child class becomes empty Certain classful qdiscs may invoke their classes' dequeue handler on an enqueue operation. This may unexpectedly empty the child qdisc and thus make an in-flight class passive via qlen_notify(). Most qdiscs do not expect such behaviour at this point in time and may re-activate the class eventually anyways which will lead to a use-after-free. The referenced fix commit attempted to fix this behavior for the HFSC case by moving the backlog accounting around, though this turned out to be incomplete since the parent's parent may run into the issue too. The following reproducer demonstrates this use-after-free: tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: drr tc filter add dev lo parent 1: basic classid 1:1 tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:1 drr tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:1 handle 2: hfsc def 1 tc class add dev lo parent 2: classid 2:1 hfsc rt m1 8 d 1 m2 0 tc qdisc add dev lo parent 2:1 handle 3: netem tc qdisc add dev lo parent 3:1 handle 4: blackhole echo 1 | socat -u STDIN UDP4-DATAGRAM:127.0.0.1:8888 tc class delete dev lo classid 1:1 echo 1 | socat -u STDIN UDP4-DATAGRAM:127.0.0.1:8888 Since backlog accounting issues leading to a use-after-frees on stale class pointers is a recurring pattern at this point, this patch takes a different approach. Instead of trying to fix the accounting, the patch ensures that qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog always calls qlen_notify when the child qdisc is empty. This solves the problem because deletion of qdiscs always involves a call to qdisc_reset() and / or qdisc_purge_queue() which ultimately resets its qlen to 0 thus causing the following qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() to report to the parent. Note that this may call qlen_notify on passive classes multiple times. This is not a problem after the recent patch series that made all the classful qdiscs qlen_notify() handlers idempotent.

I reproduce this issue by:

ip netns exec ns1 tipc node set key this_is_a_master_key master
ip netns exec ns1 tipc bearer disable media eth dev veth1
ip netns del ns1
The key of reproduction is that, simd_aead_encrypt is interrupted, leading
to crypto_simd_usable() return false. Thus, the cryptd_queue_worker is
triggered, and the tipc_crypto tx will be visited.
tipc_disc_timeout
tipc_bearer_xmit_skb
tipc_crypto_xmit
tipc_aead_encrypt
crypto_aead_encrypt
// encrypt()
simd_aead_encrypt
// crypto_simd_usable() is false
child = &ctx->cryptd_tfm->base;
simd_aead_encrypt
crypto_aead_encrypt
// encrypt()
cryptd_aead_encrypt_enqueue
cryptd_aead_enqueue
cryptd_enqueue_request
// trigger cryptd_queue_worker
queue_work_on(smp_processor_id(), cryptd_wq, &cpu_queue->work)
Fix this by holding net reference count before encrypt.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mce: use is_copy_from_user() to determine copy-from-user context
Patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling",
v4.
## 1. What am I trying to do:
This patchset resolves two critical regressions related to memory failure
handling that have appeared in the upstream kernel since version 5.17, as
compared to 5.10 LTS.
- copyin case: poison found in user page while kernel copying from user space
- instr case: poison found while instruction fetching in user space
## 2. What is the expected outcome and why
- For copyin case:
Kernel can recover from poison found where kernel is doing get_user() or
copy_from_user() if those places get an error return and the kernel return
-EFAULT to the process instead of crashing. More specifily, MCE handler
checks the fixup handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC can be
recovered. When EX_TYPE_UACCESS is found, the PC jumps to recovery code
specified in _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() and return a -EFAULT to user space.
- For instr case:
If a poison found while instruction fetching in user space, full recovery
is possible. User process takes #PF, Linux allocates a new page and fills
by reading from storage.
## 3. What actually happens and why
- For copyin case: kernel panic since v5.17
Commit 4c132d1d844a ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new
extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and later patches updated the
extable fixup type for copy-from-user operations, changing it from
EX_TYPE_UACCESS to EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. It breaks previous EX_TYPE_UACCESS
handling when posion found in get_user() or copy_from_user().
- For instr case: user process is killed by a SIGBUS signal due to #CMCI
and #MCE race
When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA
signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when
the data is about to be consumed.
### Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1]
Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that
detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a
broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action
Optional) signature in the machine check bank. This was overkill because
it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that
bad data. It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE
interrupts and finally become an IERR.
Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub
from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to
#CMCI. Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in
uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA*
signature name.
### Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in
Intel platform [1]
Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors,
the memory controller uses it for reads too. But the memory controller is
executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference
between a "real" read and a speculative read. So it will do CMCI/UCNA if
an error is found in any read.
Thus:
1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a
speculative read.
2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read
request
3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the
core that will soon try to retire the load from address A.
Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory
controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction
reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page
(marking it as poison).

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/hyper-v: Skip non-canonical addresses during PV TLB flush In KVM guests with Hyper-V hypercalls enabled, the hypercalls HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST and HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST_EX allow a guest to request invalidation of portions of a virtual TLB. For this, the hypercall parameter includes a list of GVAs that are supposed to be invalidated. However, when non-canonical GVAs are passed, there is currently no filtering in place and they are eventually passed to checked invocations of INVVPID on Intel / INVLPGA on AMD. While AMD's INVLPGA silently ignores non-canonical addresses (effectively a no-op), Intel's INVVPID explicitly signals VM-Fail and ultimately triggers the WARN_ONCE in invvpid_error(): invvpid failed: ext=0x0 vpid=1 gva=0xaaaaaaaaaaaaa000 WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 326 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:482 invvpid_error+0x91/0xa0 [kvm_intel] Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm 9pnet_virtio irqbypass fuse CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 326 Comm: kvm-vm Not tainted 6.15.0 #14 PREEMPT(voluntary) RIP: 0010:invvpid_error+0x91/0xa0 [kvm_intel] Call Trace: vmx_flush_tlb_gva+0x320/0x490 [kvm_intel] kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb+0x24f/0x4f0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x3013/0x5810 [kvm] Hyper-V documents that invalid GVAs (those that are beyond a partition's GVA space) are to be ignored. While not completely clear whether this ruling also applies to non-canonical GVAs, it is likely fine to make that assumption, and manual testing on Azure confirms "real" Hyper-V interprets the specification in the same way. Skip non-canonical GVAs when processing the list of address to avoid tripping the INVVPID failure. Alternatively, KVM could filter out "bad" GVAs before inserting into the FIFO, but practically speaking the only downside of pushing validation to the final processing is that doing so is suboptimal for the guest, and no well-behaved guest will request TLB flushes for non-canonical addresses.

slab cache size.
I finally found “Acpi-Parse” cache and “Acpi-parse_ext” cache were leaked
using SLAB_NEVER_MERGE flag in kmem_cache_create() function.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/nfs/read: fix double-unlock bug in nfs_return_empty_folio()
Sometimes, when a file was read while it was being truncated by
another NFS client, the kernel could deadlock because folio_unlock()
was called twice, and the second call would XOR back the `PG_locked`
flag.
Most of the time (depending on the timing of the truncation), nobody
notices the problem because folio_unlock() gets called three times,
which flips `PG_locked` back off:
1. vfs_read, nfs_read_folio, ... nfs_read_add_folio,
nfs_return_empty_folio
2. vfs_read, nfs_read_folio, ... netfs_read_collection,
netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages
3. vfs_read, ... nfs_do_read_folio, nfs_read_add_folio,
nfs_return_empty_folio
The problem is that nfs_read_add_folio() is not supposed to unlock the
folio if fscache is enabled, and a nfs_netfs_folio_unlock() check is
missing in nfs_return_empty_folio().
Rarely this leads to a warning in netfs_read_collection():

never happens because nobody is really holding the folio lock.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/sgx: Prevent attempts to reclaim poisoned pages
TL;DR: SGX page reclaim touches the page to copy its contents to
secondary storage. SGX instructions do not gracefully handle machine
checks. Despite this, the existing SGX code will try to reclaim pages
that it _knows_ are poisoned. Avoid even trying to reclaim poisoned pages.
The longer story:
Pages used by an enclave only get epc_page->poison set in
arch_memory_failure() but they currently stay on sgx_active_page_list until
sgx_encl_release(), with the SGX_EPC_PAGE_RECLAIMER_TRACKED flag untouched.
epc_page->poison is not checked in the reclaimer logic meaning that, if other
conditions are met, an attempt will be made to reclaim an EPC page that was
poisoned. This is bad because 1. we don't want that page to end up added
to another enclave and 2. it is likely to cause one core to shut down
and the kernel to panic.
Specifically, reclaiming uses microcode operations including "EWB" which
accesses the EPC page contents to encrypt and write them out to non-SGX
memory. Those operations cannot handle MCEs in their accesses other than
by putting the executing core into a special shutdown state (affecting
both threads with HT.) The kernel will subsequently panic on the
remaining cores seeing the core didn't enter MCE handler(s) in time.
Call sgx_unmark_page_reclaimable() to remove the affected EPC page from
sgx_active_page_list on memory error to stop it being considered for
reclaiming.
Testing epc_page->poison in sgx_reclaim_pages() would also work but I assume
it's better to add code in the less likely paths.
The affected EPC page is not added to &node->sgx_poison_page_list until
later in sgx_encl_release()->sgx_free_epc_page() when it is EREMOVEd.
Membership on other lists doesn't change to avoid changing any of the
lists' semantics except for sgx_active_page_list. There's a "TBD" comment
in arch_memory_failure() about pre-emptive actions, the goal here is not
to address everything that it may imply.
This also doesn't completely close the time window when a memory error
notification will be fatal (for a not previously poisoned EPC page) --
the MCE can happen after sgx_reclaim_pages() has selected its candidates
or even *inside* a microcode operation (actually easy to trigger due to
the amount of time spent in them.)
The spinlock in sgx_unmark_page_reclaimable() is safe because
memory_failure() runs in process context and no spinlocks are held,
explicitly noted in a mm/memory-failure.c comment.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atm: add lec_mutex
syzbot found its way in net/atm/lec.c, and found an error path
in lecd_attach() could leave a dangling pointer in dev_lec[].
Add a mutex to protect dev_lecp[] uses from lecd_attach(),
lec_vcc_attach() and lec_mcast_attach().
Following patch will use this mutex for /proc/net/atm/lec.

This issue seems to be related to the behavior of some gcc compilers and
was also fixed on the s390 architecture before:
commit d93a855c31b7 ("s390/ptrace: Avoid KASAN false positives in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth()")
As described in that commit, regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() has confirmed that
`addr` is on the stack, so reading the value at `*addr` should be allowed.
Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() helper to silence the KASAN check for this case.
[will: Use '*addr' as the argument to READ_ONCE_NOCHECK()]

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: get rid of the crit lock
Get rid of the crit lock.
That frees us from the error prone logic of try_locks.
Thanks to netdev_lock() by Jakub it is now easy, and in most cases we were
protected by it already - replace crit lock by netdev lock when it was not
the case.
Lockdep reports that we should cancel the work under crit_lock [splat1],
and that was the scheme we have mostly followed since [1] by Slawomir.
But when that is done we still got into deadlocks [splat2]. So instead
we should look at the bigger problem, namely "weird locking/scheduling"
of the iavf. The first step to fix that is to remove the crit lock.
I will followup with a -next series that simplifies scheduling/tasks.
Cancel the work without netdev lock (weird unlock+lock scheme),
to fix the [splat2] (which would be totally ugly if we would kept
the crit lock).
Extend protected part of iavf_watchdog_task() to include scheduling
more work.
Note that the removed comment in iavf_reset_task() was misplaced,
it belonged to inside of the removed if condition, so it's gone now.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptp: remove ptp->n_vclocks check logic in ptp_vclock_in_use()
There is no disagreement that we should check both ptp->is_virtual_clock
and ptp->n_vclocks to check if the ptp virtual clock is in use.
However, when we acquire ptp->n_vclocks_mux to read ptp->n_vclocks in
ptp_vclock_in_use(), we observe a recursive lock in the call trace
starting from n_vclocks_store().
============================================

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux);
lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux);
*** DEADLOCK ***
....
============================================
The best way to solve this is to remove the logic that checks
ptp->n_vclocks in ptp_vclock_in_use().
The reason why this is appropriate is that any path that uses
ptp->n_vclocks must unconditionally check if ptp->n_vclocks is greater
than 0 before unregistering vclocks, and all functions are already
written this way. And in the function that uses ptp->n_vclocks, we
already get ptp->n_vclocks_mux before unregistering vclocks.
Therefore, we need to remove the redundant check for ptp->n_vclocks in
ptp_vclock_in_use() to prevent recursive locking.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix node corruption in ar->arvifs list
In current WLAN recovery code flow, ath11k_core_halt() only
reinitializes the "arvifs" list head. This will cause the
list node immediately following the list head to become an
invalid list node. Because the prev of that node still points
to the list head "arvifs", but the next of the list head "arvifs"

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-38291

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Prevent sending WMI commands to firmware during firmware crash
Currently, we encounter the following kernel call trace when a firmware
crash occurs. This happens because the host sends WMI commands to the
firmware while it is in recovery, causing the commands to fail and
resulting in the kernel call trace.
Set the ATH12K_FLAG_CRASH_FLUSH and ATH12K_FLAG_RECOVERY flags when the
host driver receives the firmware crash notification from MHI. This
prevents sending WMI commands to the firmware during recovery.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix node corruption in ar->arvifs list
In current WLAN recovery code flow, ath12k_core_halt() only reinitializes
the "arvifs" list head. This will cause the list node immediately following
the list head to become an invalid list node. Because the prev of that node
still points to the list head "arvifs", but the next of the list head
"arvifs" no longer points to that list node.
When a WLAN recovery occurs during the execution of a vif removal, and it
happens before the spin_lock_bh(&ar->data_lock) in
ath12k_mac_vdev_delete(), list_del() will detect the previously mentioned
situation, thereby triggering a kernel panic.
The fix is to remove and reinitialize all vif list nodes from the list head
"arvifs" during WLAN halt. The reinitialization is to make the list nodes
valid, ensuring that the list_del() in ath12k_mac_vdev_delete() can execute
normally.

Description:

kernfs: Relax constraint in draining guard
The active reference lifecycle provides the break/unbreak mechanism but
the active reference is not truly active after unbreak -- callers don't
use it afterwards but it's important for proper pairing of kn->active
counting. Assuming this mechanism is in place, the WARN check in
kernfs_should_drain_open_files() is too sensitive -- it may transiently
catch those (rightful) callers between
kernfs_unbreak_active_protection() and kernfs_put_active() as found out by Chen
Ridong:
kernfs_remove_by_name_nskernfs_get_active // active=1
__kernfs_remove // active=0x80000002
kernfs_drain...
wait_event
//waiting (active == 0x80000001)
kernfs_break_active_protection
// active = 0x80000001
// continue
kernfs_unbreak_active_protection
// active = 0x80000002
...
kernfs_should_drain_open_files
// warning occurs
kernfs_put_active
To avoid the false positives (mind panic_on_warn) remove the check altogether.
(This is meant as quick fix, I think active reference break/unbreak may be
simplified with larger rework.)

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: uartlite: register uart driver in init
When two instances of uart devices are probing, a concurrency race can
occur. If one thread calls uart_register_driver function, which first
allocates and assigns memory to 'uart_state' member of uart_driver
structure, the other instance can bypass uart driver registration and
call ulite_assign. This calls uart_add_one_port, which expects the uart
driver to be fully initialized. This leads to a kernel panic due to a
null pointer dereference:

is called.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-38255

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Root cause is that numgrps is set to 0, and ZERO_SIZE_PTR is returned from
kcalloc(), and later ZERO_SIZE_PTR will be deferenced.
Fix the problem by checking numgrps first in group_cpus_evenly(), and
return NULL directly if numgrps is zero.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix use-after-free in vhci_flush()
syzbot reported use-after-free in vhci_flush() without repro. [0]
From the splat, a thread close()d a vhci file descriptor while
its device was being used by iotcl() on another thread.
Once the last fd refcnt is released, vhci_release() calls
hci_unregister_dev(), hci_free_dev(), and kfree() for struct
vhci_data, which is set to hci_dev->dev->driver_data.
The problem is that there is no synchronisation after unlinking
hdev from hci_dev_list in hci_unregister_dev(). There might be
another thread still accessing the hdev which was fetched before
the unlink operation.
We can use SRCU for such synchronisation.
Let's run hci_dev_reset() under SRCU and wait for its completion
in hci_unregister_dev().
Another option would be to restore hci_dev->destruct(), which was
removed in commit 587ae086f6e4 ("Bluetooth: Remove unused
hci-destruct cb"). However, this would not be a good solution, as
we should not run hci_unregister_dev() while there are in-flight
ioctl() requests, which could lead to another data-race KCSAN splat.
Note that other drivers seem to have the same problem, for exmaple,
virtbt_remove().

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bridge: mcast: Fix use-after-free during router port configuration
The bridge maintains a global list of ports behind which a multicast
router resides. The list is consulted during forwarding to ensure
multicast packets are forwarded to these ports even if the ports are not
member in the matching MDB entry.
When per-VLAN multicast snooping is enabled, the per-port multicast
context is disabled on each port and the port is removed from the global
router port list:
# ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1
# ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
# ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2
$ bridge -d mdb show | grep router
router ports on br1: dummy1
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
$ bridge -d mdb show | grep router
However, the port can be re-added to the global list even when per-VLAN
multicast snooping is enabled:
# ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 0
# ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2
$ bridge -d mdb show | grep router
router ports on br1: dummy1
Since commit 4b30ae9adb04 ("net: bridge: mcast: re-implement
br_multicast_{enable, disable}_port functions"), when per-VLAN multicast
snooping is enabled, multicast disablement on a port will disable the
per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts and not the per-port one. As a
result, a port will remain in the global router port list even after it
is deleted. This will lead to a use-after-free [1] when the list is
traversed (when adding a new port to the list, for example):
# ip link del dev dummy1
# ip link add name dummy2 up master br1 type dummy
# ip link set dev dummy2 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2
Similarly, stale entries can also be found in the per-VLAN router port
list. When per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled, the per-{port, VLAN}
contexts are disabled on each port and the port is removed from the
per-VLAN router port list:
# ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1 mcast_vlan_snooping 1
# ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
# bridge vlan add vid 2 dev dummy1
# bridge vlan global set vid 2 dev br1 mcast_snooping 1
# bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 2
$ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router
router ports: dummy1
# ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 0
$ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router
However, the port can be re-added to the per-VLAN list even when
per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled:
# bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 0
# bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 2
$ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router
router ports: dummy1
When the VLAN is deleted from the port, the per-{port, VLAN} multicast
context will not be disabled since multicast snooping is not enabled
on the VLAN. As a result, the port will remain in the per-VLAN router
port list even after it is no longer member in the VLAN. This will lead
to a use-after-free [2] when the list is traversed (when adding a new
port to the list, for example):
# ip link add name dummy2 up master br1 type dummy
# bridge vlan add vid 2 dev dummy2
# bridge vlan del vid 2 dev dummy1
# bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy2 mcast_router 2
Fix these issues by removing the port from the relevant (global or
per-VLAN) router port list in br_multicast_port_ctx_deinit(). The
function is invoked during port deletion with the per-port multicast
context and during VLAN deletion with the per-{port, VLAN} multicast
context.
Note that deleting the multicast router timer is not enough as it only
takes care of the temporary multicast router states (1 or 3) and not the
permanent one (2).

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: Release atm_dev_mutex after removing procfs in atm_dev_deregister().
syzbot reported a warning below during atm_dev_register(). [0]
Before creating a new device and procfs/sysfs for it, atm_dev_register()
looks up a duplicated device by __atm_dev_lookup(). These operations are
done under atm_dev_mutex.
However, when removing a device in atm_dev_deregister(), it releases the
mutex just after removing the device from the list that __atm_dev_lookup()
iterates over.
So, there will be a small race window where the device does not exist on
the device list but procfs/sysfs are still not removed, triggering the
splat.
Let's hold the mutex until procfs/sysfs are removed in
atm_dev_deregister().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/rt: Fix race in push_rt_task
Overview
========
When a CPU chooses to call push_rt_task and picks a task to push to
another CPU's runqueue then it will call find_lock_lowest_rq method
which would take a double lock on both CPUs' runqueues. If one of the
locks aren't readily available, it may lead to dropping the current
runqueue lock and reacquiring both the locks at once. During this window
it is possible that the task is already migrated and is running on some
other CPU. These cases are already handled. However, if the task is
migrated and has already been executed and another CPU is now trying to
wake it up (ttwu) such that it is queued again on the runqeue
(on_rq is 1) and also if the task was run by the same CPU, then the
current checks will pass even though the task was migrated out and is no
longer in the pushable tasks list.
Crashes
=======
This bug resulted in quite a few flavors of crashes triggering kernel
panics with various crash signatures such as assert failures, page
faults, null pointer dereferences, and queue corruption errors all
coming from scheduler itself.
Some of the crashes:

So exporting interfaces to user space shall be done at last and
cleanup at first place.
With change there is no Kernel OOPs.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: inline: fix len overflow in ext4_prepare_inline_data
When running the following code on an ext4 filesystem with inline_data
feature enabled, it will lead to the bug below.
fd = open("file1", O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0666);
ftruncate(fd, 30);
pwrite(fd, "a", 1, (1UL << 40) + 5UL);
That happens because write_begin will succeed as when
ext4_generic_write_inline_data calls ext4_prepare_inline_data, pos + len
will be truncated, leading to ext4_prepare_inline_data parameter to be 6
instead of 0x10000000006.
Then, later when write_end is called, we hit:
BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size);
at ext4_write_inline_data.
Fix it by using a loff_t type for the len parameter in
ext4_prepare_inline_data instead of an unsigned int.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Restore context entry setup order for aliased devices
Commit 2031c469f816 ("iommu/vt-d: Add support for static identity domain")
changed the context entry setup during domain attachment from a
set-and-check policy to a clear-and-reset approach. This inadvertently
introduced a regression affecting PCI aliased devices behind PCIe-to-PCI
bridges.
Specifically, keyboard and touchpad stopped working on several Apple
Macbooks with below messages:

does not return error code. Considering this and the comment in the code
about fb_match_mode() returning NULL - "This should not happen" - it is
better to prevent registering the fb_info if its mode was not set
successfully. Also move fb_add_videomode() closer to the beginning of
do_register_framebuffer() to avoid having to do the cleanup on fail.

The reason is that fb_info->var is being modified in fb_set_var(), and
then fb_videomode_to_var() is called. If it fails to add the mode to
fb_info->modelist, fb_set_var() returns error, but does not restore the
old value of fb_info->var. Restore fb_info->var on failure the same way
it is done earlier in the function.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/iwcm: Fix use-after-free of work objects after cm_id destruction
The commit 59c68ac31e15 ("iw_cm: free cm_id resources on the last
deref") simplified cm_id resource management by freeing cm_id once all
references to the cm_id were removed. The references are removed either
upon completion of iw_cm event handlers or when the application destroys
the cm_id. This commit introduced the use-after-free condition where
cm_id_private object could still be in use by event handler works during
the destruction of cm_id. The commit aee2424246f9 ("RDMA/iwcm: Fix a
use-after-free related to destroying CM IDs") addressed this use-after-
free by flushing all pending works at the cm_id destruction.
However, still another use-after-free possibility remained. It happens
with the work objects allocated for each cm_id_priv within
alloc_work_entries() during cm_id creation, and subsequently freed in
dealloc_work_entries() once all references to the cm_id are removed.
If the cm_id's last reference is decremented in the event handler work,
the work object for the work itself gets removed, and causes the use-
after-free BUG below:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
configfs-tsm-report: Fix NULL dereference of tsm_ops
Unlike sysfs, the lifetime of configfs objects is controlled by
userspace. There is no mechanism for the kernel to find and delete all
created config-items. Instead, the configfs-tsm-report mechanism has an
expectation that tsm_unregister() can happen at any time and cause
established config-item access to start failing.
That expectation is not fully satisfied. While tsm_report_read(),
tsm_report_{is,is_bin}_visible(), and tsm_report_make_item() safely fail
if tsm_ops have been unregistered, tsm_report_privlevel_store()
tsm_report_provider_show() fail to check for ops registration. Add the
missing checks for tsm_ops having been removed.
Now, in supporting the ability for tsm_unregister() to always succeed,
it leaves the problem of what to do with lingering config-items. The
expectation is that the admin that arranges for the ->remove() (unbind)
of the ${tsm_arch}-guest driver is also responsible for deletion of all
open config-items. Until that deletion happens, ->probe() (reload /
bind) of the ${tsm_arch}-guest driver fails.
This allows for emergency shutdown / revocation of attestation
interfaces, and requires coordinated restart.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-tcp: remove tag set when second admin queue config fails
Commit 104d0e2f6222 ("nvme-fabrics: reset admin connection for secure
concatenation") modified nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() to call
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() twice. The first call prepares for
DH-CHAP negotitation, and the second call is required for secure
concatenation. However, this change triggered BUG KASAN slab-use-after-
free in blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter(). This BUG can be recreated by
repeating the blktests test case nvme/063 a few times [1].
When the BUG happens, nvme_tcp_create_ctrl() fails in the call chain
below:
nvme_tcp_create_ctrl()
nvme_tcp_alloc_ctrl() new=true ... Alloc nvme_tcp_ctrl and admin_tag_set
nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() new=true
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() new=true ... Succeed
nvme_alloc_admin_tag_set() ... Alloc the tag set for admin_tag_set
nvme_stop_keep_alive()
nvme_tcp_teardown_admin_queue() remove=false
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() new=false
nvme_tcp_alloc_admin_queue() ... Fail, but do not call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set()
nvme_uninit_ctrl()
nvme_put_ctrl() ... Free up the nvme_tcp_ctrl and admin_tag_set
The first call of nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() succeeds with
new=true argument. The second call fails with new=false argument. This
second call does not call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() on failure, due to
the new=false argument. Then the admin tag set is not removed. However,
nvme_tcp_create_ctrl() assumes that nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() would call
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set(). Then it frees up struct nvme_tcp_ctrl which
has admin_tag_set field. Later on, the timeout handler accesses the
admin_tag_set field and causes the BUG KASAN slab-use-after-free.
To not leave the admin tag set, call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() when
the second nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() call fails. Do not return
from nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() on failure. Instead, jump to "destroy_admin"
go-to label to call nvme_tcp_teardown_admin_queue() which calls
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set().

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Fix memory leak due to multiple rx_stats allocation
rx_stats for each arsta is allocated when adding a station.
arsta->rx_stats will be freed when a station is removed.
Redundant allocations are occurring when the same station is added
multiple times. This causes ath12k_mac_station_add() to be called
multiple times, and rx_stats is allocated each time. As a result there
is memory leaks.
Prevent multiple allocations of rx_stats when ath12k_mac_station_add()
is called repeatedly by checking if rx_stats is already allocated
before allocating again. Allocate arsta->rx_stats if arsta->rx_stats
is NULL respectively.

tries to use skb_dst(). But the dst is still an IPv4 one left
after IPv4 mcast output.
Clear the dst in all BPF helpers which change the protocol.
Try to preserve metadata dsts, those may carry non-routing

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64/fpsimd: Avoid clobbering kernel FPSIMD state with SMSTOP
On system with SME, a thread's kernel FPSIMD state may be erroneously
clobbered during a context switch immediately after that state is
restored. Systems without SME are unaffected.
If the CPU happens to be in streaming SVE mode before a context switch
to a thread with kernel FPSIMD state, fpsimd_thread_switch() will
restore the kernel FPSIMD state using fpsimd_load_kernel_state() while
the CPU is still in streaming SVE mode. When fpsimd_thread_switch()
subsequently calls fpsimd_flush_cpu_state(), this will execute an
SMSTOP, causing an exit from streaming SVE mode. The exit from
streaming SVE mode will cause the hardware to reset a number of
FPSIMD/SVE/SME registers, clobbering the FPSIMD state.
Fix this by calling fpsimd_flush_cpu_state() before restoring the kernel
FPSIMD state.

netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prevent overflow in lookup table allocation
When calculating the lookup table size, ensure the following
multiplication does not overflow:
- desc->field_len[] maximum value is U8_MAX multiplied by
NFT_PIPAPO_GROUPS_PER_BYTE(f) that can be 2, worst case.
- NFT_PIPAPO_BUCKETS(f->bb) is 2^8, worst case.
- sizeof(unsigned long), from sizeof(*f->lt), lt in
struct nft_pipapo_field.
Then, use check_mul_overflow() to multiply by bucket size and then use
check_add_overflow() to the alignment for avx2 (if needed). Finally, add
lt_size_check_overflow() helper and use it to consolidate this.
While at it, replace leftover allocation using the GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for consistency, in pipapo_resize().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Avoid using sk_socket after free when sending
The sk->sk_socket is not locked or referenced in backlog thread, and
during the call to skb_send_sock(), there is a race condition with
the release of sk_socket. All types of sockets(tcp/udp/unix/vsock)
will be affected.
Race conditions:
'''

sendmsg_unlocked
sock_sendmsg
sock_sendmsg_nosec
close(fd):
...
ops->release() -> sock_map_close()

psock = sk_psock_get(sk);

goto no_psock; <=== Control jumps here via goto
...
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&psock->work); <=== not executed
sk_psock_put(sk, psock);
...
}
'''
Based on the fact that we already wait for the workqueue to finish in
sock_map_close() if psock is held, we simply increase the psock
reference count to avoid race conditions.
With this patch, if the backlog thread is running, sock_map_close() will
wait for the backlog thread to complete and cancel all pending work.
If no backlog running, any pending work that hasn't started by then will
fail when invoked by sk_psock_get(), as the psock reference count have
been zeroed, and sk_psock_drop() will cancel all jobs via
cancel_delayed_work_sync().
In summary, we require synchronization to coordinate the backlog thread
and close() thread.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: clear phydev->devlink when the link is deleted
There is a potential crash issue when disabling and re-enabling the
network port. When disabling the network port, phy_detach() calls
device_link_del() to remove the device link, but it does not clear
phydev->devlink, so phydev->devlink is not a NULL pointer. Then the
network port is re-enabled, but if phy_attach_direct() fails before
calling device_link_add(), the code jumps to the "error" label and
calls phy_detach(). Since phydev->devlink retains the old value from
the previous attach/detach cycle, device_link_del() uses the old value,
which accesses a NULL pointer and causes a crash. The simplified crash
log is as follows.
[ 24.702421] Call trace:
[ 24.704856] device_link_put_kref+0x20/0x120
[ 24.709124] device_link_del+0x30/0x48

Therefore, phydev->devlink needs to be cleared when the device link is
deleted.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
calipso: Don't call calipso functions for AF_INET sk.
syzkaller reported a null-ptr-deref in txopt_get(). [0]
The offset 0x70 was of struct ipv6_txoptions in struct ipv6_pinfo,
so struct ipv6_pinfo was NULL there.
However, this never happens for IPv6 sockets as inet_sk(sk)->pinet6
is always set in inet6_create(), meaning the socket was not IPv6 one.
The root cause is missing validation in netlbl_conn_setattr().
netlbl_conn_setattr() switches branches based on struct
sockaddr.sa_family, which is passed from userspace. However,
netlbl_conn_setattr() does not check if the address family matches
the socket.
The syzkaller must have called connect() for an IPv6 address on
an IPv4 socket.
We have a proper validation in tcp_v[46]_connect(), but
security_socket_connect() is called in the earlier stage.
Let's copy the validation to netlbl_conn_setattr().

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix dm_blk_report_zones
If dm_get_live_table() returned NULL, dm_put_live_table() was never
called. Also, it is possible that md->zone_revalidate_map will change
while calling this function. Only read it once, so that we are always
using the same value. Otherwise we might miss a call to
dm_put_live_table().
Finally, while md->zone_revalidate_map is set and a process is calling
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to set up the zone append emulation
resources, it is possible that another process, perhaps triggered by
blkdev_report_zones_ioctl(), will call dm_blk_report_zones(). If
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() fails, these resources can be freed while
the other process is still using them, causing a use-after-free error.
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will only ever be called when initially
setting up the zone append emulation resources, such as when setting up
a zoned dm-crypt table for the first time. Further table swaps will not
set md->zone_revalidate_map or call blk_revalidate_disk_zones().
However it must be called using the new table (referenced by
md->zone_revalidate_map) and the new queue limits while the DM device is
suspended. dm_blk_report_zones() needs some way to distinguish between a
call from blk_revalidate_disk_zones(), which must be allowed to use
md->zone_revalidate_map to access this not yet activated table, and all
other calls to dm_blk_report_zones(), which should not be allowed while
the device is suspended and cannot use md->zone_revalidate_map, since
the zone resources might be freed by the process currently calling
blk_revalidate_disk_zones().
Solve this by tracking the process that sets md->zone_revalidate_map in
dm_revalidate_zones() and only allowing that process to make use of it
in dm_blk_report_zones().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: limit swapping tables for devices with zone write plugs
dm_revalidate_zones() only allowed new or previously unzoned devices to
call blk_revalidate_disk_zones(). If the device was already zoned,
disk->nr_zones would always equal md->nr_zones, so dm_revalidate_zones()
returned without doing any work. This would make the zoned settings for
the device not match the new table. If the device had zone write plug
resources, it could run into errors like bdev_zone_is_seq() reading
invalid memory because disk->conv_zones_bitmap was the wrong size.
If the device doesn't have any zone write plug resources, calling
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will always correctly update device. If
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() fails, it can still overwrite or clear the
current disk->nr_zones value. In this case, DM must restore the previous
value of disk->nr_zones, so that the zoned settings will continue to
match the previous value that it fell back to.
If the device already has zone write plug resources,
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will not correctly update them, if it is
called for arbitrary zoned device changes. Since there is not much need
for this ability, the easiest solution is to disallow any table reloads
that change the zoned settings, for devices that already have zone plug
resources. Specifically, if a device already has zone plug resources
allocated, it can only switch to another zoned table that also emulates
zone append. Also, it cannot change the device size or the zone size. A
device can switch to an error target.

ice: fix Tx scheduler error handling in XDP callback
When the XDP program is loaded, the XDP callback adds new Tx queues.
This means that the callback must update the Tx scheduler with the new
queue number. In the event of a Tx scheduler failure, the XDP callback
should also fail and roll back any changes previously made for XDP
preparation.
The previous implementation had a bug that not all changes made by the
XDP callback were rolled back. This caused the crash with the following

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix udp gso skb_segment after pull from frag_list
Commit a1e40ac5b5e9 ("net: gso: fix udp gso fraglist segmentation after
pull from frag_list") detected invalid geometry in frag_list skbs and
redirects them from skb_segment_list to more robust skb_segment. But some
packets with modified geometry can also hit bugs in that code. We don't
know how many such cases exist. Addressing each one by one also requires
touching the complex skb_segment code, which risks introducing bugs for
other types of skbs. Instead, linearize all these packets that fail the
basic invariants on gso fraglist skbs. That is more robust.
If only part of the fraglist payload is pulled into head_skb, it will
always cause exception when splitting skbs by skb_segment. For detailed
call stack information, see below.
Valid SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST skbs
- consist of two or more segments
- the head_skb holds the protocol headers plus first gso_size
- one or more frag_list skbs hold exactly one segment
- all but the last must be gso_size
Optional datapath hooks such as NAT and BPF (bpf_skb_pull_data) can
modify fraglist skbs, breaking these invariants.
In extreme cases they pull one part of data into skb linear. For UDP,
this causes three payloads with lengths of (11,11,10) bytes were
pulled tail to become (12,10,10) bytes.
The skbs no longer meets the above SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST conditions because
payload was pulled into head_skb, it needs to be linearized before pass
to regular skb_segment.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-38118

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix UAF on mgmt_remove_adv_monitor_complete
This reworks MGMT_OP_REMOVE_ADV_MONITOR to not use mgmt_pending_add to

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix uaf in ath12k_core_init()
When the execution of ath12k_core_hw_group_assign() or
ath12k_core_hw_group_create() fails, the registered notifier chain is not
unregistered properly. Its memory is freed after rmmod, which may trigger
to a use-after-free (UAF) issue if there is a subsequent access to this
notifier chain.
Fixes the issue by calling ath12k_core_panic_notifier_unregister() in
failure cases.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix ECVF vports unload on shutdown flow
Fix shutdown flow UAF when a virtual function is created on the embedded
chip (ECVF) of a BlueField device. In such case the vport acl ingress
table is not properly destroyed.
ECVF functionality is independent of ecpf_vport_exists capability and
thus functions mlx5_eswitch_(enable|disable)_pf_vf_vports() should not
test it when enabling/disabling ECVF vports.

Description:

x86/iopl: Cure TIF_IO_BITMAP inconsistencies
io_bitmap_exit() is invoked from exit_thread() when a task exists or
when a fork fails. In the latter case the exit_thread() cleans up
resources which were allocated during fork().
io_bitmap_exit() invokes task_update_io_bitmap(), which in turn ends up
in tss_update_io_bitmap(). tss_update_io_bitmap() operates on the
current task. If current has TIF_IO_BITMAP set, but no bitmap installed,
tss_update_io_bitmap() crashes with a NULL pointer dereference.
There are two issues, which lead to that problem:
1) io_bitmap_exit() should not invoke task_update_io_bitmap() when
the task, which is cleaned up, is not the current task. That's a
clear indicator for a cleanup after a failed fork().
2) A task should not have TIF_IO_BITMAP set and neither a bitmap
installed nor IOPL emulation level 3 activated.
This happens when a kernel thread is created in the context of
a user space thread, which has TIF_IO_BITMAP set as the thread
flags are copied and the IO bitmap pointer is cleared.
Other than in the failed fork() case this has no impact because
kernel threads including IO workers never return to user space and
therefore never invoke tss_update_io_bitmap().
Cure this by adding the missing cleanups and checks:
1) Prevent io_bitmap_exit() to invoke task_update_io_bitmap() if
the to be cleaned up task is not the current task.
2) Clear TIF_IO_BITMAP in copy_thread() unconditionally. For user
space forks it is set later, when the IO bitmap is inherited in
io_bitmap_share().
For paranoia sake, add a warning into tss_update_io_bitmap() to catch
the case, when that code is invoked with inconsistent state.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb: unshare page tables during VMA split, not before
Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through
vm_ops->may_split(). This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are
taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our
process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to
be shared again before we actually perform the split.
Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from
__split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens. At that
point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked.
An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper
hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts:
1. from hugetlb_split(), holding:
- mmap lock (exclusively)
- VMA lock
- file rmap lock (exclusively)
2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to
call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently
only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock
Backporting note:
This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit
b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that
commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually
also go all the way back.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix race between set_blocksize and read paths
With the new large sector size support, it's now the case that
set_blocksize can change i_blksize and the folio order in a manner that
conflicts with a concurrent reader and causes a kernel crash.
Specifically, let's say that udev-worker calls libblkid to detect the
labels on a block device. The read call can create an order-0 folio to
read the first 4096 bytes from the disk. But then udev is preempted.
Next, someone tries to mount an 8k-sectorsize filesystem from the same
block device. The filesystem calls set_blksize, which sets i_blksize to
8192 and the minimum folio order to 1.
Now udev resumes, still holding the order-0 folio it allocated. It then
tries to schedule a read bio and do_mpage_readahead tries to create
bufferheads for the folio. Unfortunately, blocks_per_folio == 0 because
the page size is 4096 but the blocksize is 8192 so no bufferheads are
attached and the bh walk never sets bdev. We then submit the bio with a
NULL block device and crash.
Therefore, truncate the page cache after flushing but before updating
i_blksize. However, that's not enough -- we also need to lock out file
IO and page faults during the update. Take both the i_rwsem and the
invalidate_lock in exclusive mode for invalidations, and in shared mode
for read/write operations.
I don't know if this is the correct fix, but xfs/259 found it.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: prevent BUG_ON by blocking retries on failed device resumes
A cache device failing to resume due to mapping errors should not be
retried, as the failure leaves a partially initialized policy object.
Repeating the resume operation risks triggering BUG_ON when reloading
cache mappings into the incomplete policy object.
Reproduce steps:
1. create a cache metadata consisting of 512 or more cache blocks,
with some mappings stored in the first array block of the mapping
array. Here we use cache_restore v1.0 to build the metadata.
cat <<EOF >> cmeta.xml
<superblock uuid="" block_size="128" nr_cache_blocks="512" \
policy="smq" hint_width="4">
<mappings>
<mapping cache_block="0" origin_block="0" dirty="false"/>
</mappings>
</superblock>
EOF
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
cache_restore -i cmeta.xml -o /dev/mapper/cmeta --metadata-version=2
dmsetup remove cmeta
2. wipe the second array block of the mapping array to simulate
data degradations.
mapping_root=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=192 \
2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"')
ablock=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=$((4096*mapping_root+2056)) \
2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"')
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=1 seek=$ablock
3. try bringing up the cache device. The resume is expected to fail
due to the broken array block.
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dmsetup create cache --notable
dmsetup load cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
dmsetup resume cache
4. try resuming the cache again. An unexpected BUG_ON is triggered
while loading cache mappings.
dmsetup resume cache

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio: break and reset virtio devices on device_shutdown()
Hongyu reported a hang on kexec in a VM. QEMU reported invalid memory
accesses during the hang.
Invalid read at addr 0x102877002, size 2, region '(null)', reason: rejected
Invalid write at addr 0x102877A44, size 2, region '(null)', reason: rejected
...
It was traced down to virtio-console. Kexec works fine if virtio-console
is not in use.
The issue is that virtio-console continues to write to the MMIO even after
underlying virtio-pci device is reset.
Additionally, Eric noticed that IOMMUs are reset before devices, if
devices are not reset on shutdown they continue to poke at guest memory
and get errors from the IOMMU. Some devices get wedged then.
The problem can be solved by breaking all virtio devices on virtio
bus shutdown, then resetting them.

After commit 2def2845cc33 ("xfs: don't allow log IO to be throttled"),
the metadata submitted by xlog_write_iclog() should not be throttled.
But due to the existence of the dm layer, throttling flush_bio indirectly
causes the metadata bio to be throttled.
Fix this by conditionally adding REQ_IDLE to flush_bio.bi_opf, which makes
wbt_should_throttle() return false to avoid wbt_wait().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
genirq/msi: Store the IOMMU IOVA directly in msi_desc instead of iommu_cookie
The IOMMU translation for MSI message addresses has been a 2-step process,
separated in time:
1) iommu_dma_prepare_msi(): A cookie pointer containing the IOVA address
is stored in the MSI descriptor when an MSI interrupt is allocated.
2) iommu_dma_compose_msi_msg(): this cookie pointer is used to compute a
translated message address.
This has an inherent lifetime problem for the pointer stored in the cookie
that must remain valid between the two steps. However, there is no locking
at the irq layer that helps protect the lifetime. Today, this works under
the assumption that the iommu domain is not changed while MSI interrupts
being programmed. This is true for normal DMA API users within the kernel,
as the iommu domain is attached before the driver is probed and cannot be
changed while a driver is attached.
Classic VFIO type1 also prevented changing the iommu domain while VFIO was
running as it does not support changing the "container" after starting up.
However, iommufd has improved this so that the iommu domain can be changed
during VFIO operation. This potentially allows userspace to directly race
VFIO_DEVICE_ATTACH_IOMMUFD_PT (which calls iommu_attach_group()) and
VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS (which calls into iommu_dma_compose_msi_msg()).
This potentially causes both the cookie pointer and the unlocked call to
iommu_get_domain_for_dev() on the MSI translation path to become UAFs.
Fix the MSI cookie UAF by removing the cookie pointer. The translated IOVA
address is already known during iommu_dma_prepare_msi() and cannot change.
Thus, it can simply be stored as an integer in the MSI descriptor.
The other UAF related to iommu_get_domain_for_dev() will be addressed in
patch "iommu: Make iommu_dma_prepare_msi() into a generic operation" by
using the IOMMU group mutex.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: copy_verifier_state() should copy 'loop_entry' field
The bpf_verifier_state.loop_entry state should be copied by
copy_verifier_state(). Otherwise, .loop_entry values from unrelated
states would poison env->cur_state.
Additionally, env->stack should not contain any states with
.loop_entry != NULL. The states in env->stack are yet to be verified,
while .loop_entry is set for states that reached an equivalent state.
This means that env->cur_state->loop_entry should always be NULL after
pop_stack().
See the selftest in the next commit for an example of the program that
is not safe yet is accepted by verifier w/o this fix.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/intel: Fix segfault with PEBS-via-PT with sample_freq
Currently, using PEBS-via-PT with a sample frequency instead of a sample
period, causes a segfault. For example:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000195

? __die_body.cold+0x19/0x27
? page_fault_oops+0xca/0x290

handle_pmi_common+0x272/0x3c0
intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x10a/0x2e0
perf_event_nmi_handler+0x2a/0x50
That happens because intel_pmu_pebs_event_update_no_drain() assumes all the
pebs_enabled bits represent counter indexes, which is not always the case.
In this particular case, bits 60 and 61 are set for PEBS-via-PT purposes.
The behaviour of PEBS-via-PT with sample frequency is questionable because
although a PMI is generated (PEBS_PMI_AFTER_EACH_RECORD), the period is not
adjusted anyway.
Putting that aside, fix intel_pmu_pebs_event_update_no_drain() by passing
the mask of counter bits instead of 'size'. Note, prior to the Fixes
commit, 'size' would be limited to the maximum counter index, so the issue
was not hit.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: fix null-ptr-deref in idpf_features_check
idpf_features_check is used to validate the TX packet. skb header
length is compared with the hardware supported value received from
the device control plane. The value is stored in the adapter structure
and to access it, vport pointer is used. During reset all the vports
are released and the vport pointer that the netdev private structure
points to is NULL.
To avoid null-ptr-deref, store the max header length value in netdev
private structure. This also helps to cache the value and avoid
accessing adapter pointer in hot path.

==================================================================
When the data race occurs, the function virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() sets
event_triggered to false, and virtqueue_disable_cb_split/packed() reads it
as false due to the race condition. Since event_triggered is an unreliable
hint used for optimization, this should only cause the driver temporarily
suggest that the device not send an interrupt notification when the event
index is used.
Fix this KCSAN reported data-race issue by explicitly tagging the access as
data_racy.

This warning is emitted when trying to toggle, at the highest level,
some flow control (with serdev_device_set_flow_control) in a device
driver. At the lowest level, the atmel_serial driver is using
serial_mctrl_gpio lib to enable/disable the corresponding IRQs
accordingly. The warning emitted by CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is due to
disable_irq (called in mctrl_gpio_disable_ms) being possibly called in
some atomic context (some tty drivers perform modem lines configuration
in regions protected by port lock).
Split mctrl_gpio_disable_ms into two differents APIs, a non-blocking one
and a blocking one. Replace mctrl_gpio_disable_ms calls with the
relevant version depending on whether the call is protected by some port
lock.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/vf: Perform early GT MMIO initialization to read GMDID
VFs need to communicate with the GuC to obtain the GMDID value
and existing GuC functions used for that assume that the GT has
it's MMIO members already setup. However, due to recent refactoring
the gt->mmio is initialized later, and any attempt by the VF to use
xe_mmio_read|write() from GuC functions will lead to NPD crash due
to unset MMIO register address:
[] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm] Running in SR-IOV VF mode
[] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm] GT0: sending H2G MMIO 0x5507
[] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000190240
Since we are already tweaking the id and type of the primary GT to
mimic it's a Media GT before initializing the GuC communication,
we can also call xe_gt_mmio_init() to perform early setup of the
gt->mmio which will make those GuC functions work again.

queue->state_change is set as part of nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock(), but if

called then queue->state_change isn't set and sock->sk->sk_state_change

As such we don't need to restore sock->sk->sk_state_change if
queue->state_change is NULL.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-38029

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kasan: avoid sleepable page allocation from atomic context
apply_to_pte_range() enters the lazy MMU mode and then invokes
kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() callback on each page table walk iteration.
However, the callback can go into sleep when trying to allocate a single
page, e.g. if an architecutre disables preemption on lazy MMU mode enter.
On s390 if make arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_enable() and
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_disable(), such crash occurs:

This problem is similar to the problem that the
commit 1d6a9e7449e2 ("RDMA/core: Fix use-after-free when rename device name")
fixes.
The root cause is: the function ib_device_rename() renames the name with
lock. But in the function kobject_uevent(), this name is accessed without
lock protection at the same time.
The solution is to add the lock protection when this name is accessed in
the function kobject_uevent().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Disable MACsec offload for uplink representor profile
MACsec offload is not supported in switchdev mode for uplink
representors. When switching to the uplink representor profile, the
MACsec offload feature must be cleared from the netdevice's features.
If left enabled, attempts to add offloads result in a null pointer
dereference, as the uplink representor does not support MACsec offload
even though the feature bit remains set.
Clear NETIF_F_HW_MACSEC in mlx5e_fix_uplink_rep_features().

mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix use-after-free when deleting GRE net devices
The driver only offloads neighbors that are constructed on top of net
devices registered by it or their uppers (which are all Ethernet). The
device supports GRE encapsulation and decapsulation of forwarded
traffic, but the driver will not offload dummy neighbors constructed on
top of GRE net devices as they are not uppers of its net devices:
# ip link add name gre1 up type gre tos inherit local 192.0.2.1 remote 198.51.100.1
# ip neigh add 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 nud noarp dev gre1
$ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 NOARP
(Note that the neighbor is not marked with 'offload')
When the driver is reloaded and the existing configuration is replayed,
the driver does not perform the same check regarding existing neighbors
and offloads the previously added one:
# devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0
$ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 offload NOARP
If the neighbor is later deleted, the driver will ignore the
notification (given the GRE net device is not its upper) and will
therefore keep referencing freed memory, resulting in a use-after-free
[1] when the net device is deleted:
# ip neigh del 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 dev gre1
# ip link del dev gre1
Fix by skipping neighbor replay if the net device for which the replay
is performed is not our upper.

epoll_ctl(e, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 0, &event);
const struct timespec timeout = {.tv_nsec = 1};
epoll_pwait2(e, &event, 1, &timeout, 0);
}
```
This happens because the given (non-zero) timeout of 1 nanosecond
usually expires before ep_poll() is entered and then
ep_schedule_timeout() returns false, but `timed_out` is never set
because the code line that sets it is skipped. This quickly turns
into a soft lockup, RCU stalls and deadlocks, inflicting severe
headaches to the whole system.
When the timeout has expired, we don't need to schedule a hrtimer, but
we should set the `timed_out` variable. Therefore, I suggest moving
the ep_schedule_timeout() check into the `timed_out` expression
instead of skipping it.

my bug report in [1].

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-38016

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bpf: abort dispatch if device destroyed
The current HID bpf implementation assumes no output report/request will
go through it after hid_bpf_destroy_device() has been called. This leads
to a bug that unplugging certain types of HID devices causes a cleaned-
up SRCU to be accessed. The bug was previously a hidden failure until a
recent x86 percpu change [1] made it access not-present pages.
The bug will be triggered if the conditions below are met:
A) a device under the driver has some LEDs on
B) hid_ll_driver->request() is uninplemented (e.g., logitech-djreceiver)
If condition A is met, hidinput_led_worker() is always scheduled *after*
hid_bpf_destroy_device().
hid_destroy_device
` hid_bpf_destroy_device
` cleanup_srcu_struct(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` hid_remove_device
` ...
` led_classdev_unregister
` led_trigger_set(led_cdev, NULL)
` led_set_brightness(led_cdev, LED_OFF)
` ...
` input_inject_event
` input_event_dispose
` hidinput_input_event
` schedule_work(&hid->led_work) [hidinput_led_worker]
This is fine when condition B is not met, where hidinput_led_worker()
calls hid_ll_driver->request(). This is the case for most HID drivers,
which implement it or use the generic one from usbhid. The driver itself
or an underlying driver will then abort processing the request.
Otherwise, hidinput_led_worker() tries hid_hw_output_report() and leads
to the bug.
hidinput_led_worker
` hid_hw_output_report
` dispatch_hid_bpf_output_report
` srcu_read_lock(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` srcu_read_unlock(&hdev->bpf.srcu, idx)
The bug has existed since the introduction [2] of
dispatch_hid_bpf_output_report(). However, the same bug also exists in
dispatch_hid_bpf_raw_requests(), and I've reproduced (no visible effect
because of the lack of [1], but confirmed bpf.destroyed == 1) the bug
against the commit (i.e., the Fixes:) introducing the function. This is
because hidinput_led_worker() falls back to hid_hw_raw_request() when
hid_ll_driver->output_report() is uninplemented (e.g., logitech-
djreceiver).
hidinput_led_worker
` hid_hw_output_report: -ENOSYS
` hid_hw_raw_request
` dispatch_hid_bpf_raw_requests
` srcu_read_lock(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` srcu_read_unlock(&hdev->bpf.srcu, idx)
Fix the issue by returning early in the two mentioned functions if
hid_bpf has been marked as destroyed. Though
dispatch_hid_bpf_device_event() handles input events, and there is no
evidence that it may be called after the destruction, the same check, as
a safety net, is also added to it to maintain the consistency among all
dispatch functions.
The impact of the bug on other architectures is unclear. Even if it acts
as a hidden failure, this is still dangerous because it corrupts
whatever is on the address calculated by SRCU. Thus, CC'ing the stable
list.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_alloc: fix race condition in unaccepted memory handling
The page allocator tracks the number of zones that have unaccepted memory
using static_branch_enc/dec() and uses that static branch in hot paths to
determine if it needs to deal with unaccepted memory.
Borislav and Thomas pointed out that the tracking is racy: operations on
static_branch are not serialized against adding/removing unaccepted pages
to/from the zone.
Sanity checks inside static_branch machinery detects it:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at kernel/jump_label.c:276 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked+0x8e/0xa0
The comment around the WARN() explains the problem:
/*
* Warn about the '-1' case though; since that means a
* decrement is concurrent with a first (0->1) increment. IOW
* people are trying to disable something that wasn't yet fully
* enabled. This suggests an ordering problem on the user side.
*/
The effect of this static_branch optimization is only visible on
microbenchmark.
Instead of adding more complexity around it, remove it altogether.

syzbot reports for uninit-value for the saddr argument [1].
commit 4754957f04f5 ("ipvs: do not use random local source address for

should be ignored but the code is still reading it which can prevent
to connect the route. Fix it by changing the argument to ret_saddr.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memblock: Accept allocated memory before use in memblock_double_array()
When increasing the array size in memblock_double_array() and the slab
is not yet available, a call to memblock_find_in_range() is used to
reserve/allocate memory. However, the range returned may not have been
accepted, which can result in a crash when booting an SNP guest:

Mitigate this by calling accept_memory() on the memory range returned
before the slab is available.
Prior to v6.12, the accept_memory() interface used a 'start' and 'end'
parameter instead of 'start' and 'size', therefore the accept_memory()
call must be adjusted to specify 'start + size' for 'end' when applying
to kernels prior to v6.12.

Description:

bpf: Scrub packet on bpf_redirect_peer
When bpf_redirect_peer is used to redirect packets to a device in
another network namespace, the skb isn't scrubbed. That can lead skb
information from one namespace to be "misused" in another namespace.
As one example, this is causing Cilium to drop traffic when using
bpf_redirect_peer to redirect packets that just went through IPsec
decryption to a container namespace. The following pwru trace shows (1)
the packet path from the host's XFRM layer to the container's XFRM
layer where it's dropped and (2) the number of active skb extensions at
each function.

.active_extensions = (__u8)2,
In this case, there are no XFRM policies in the container's network
namespace so the drop is unexpected. When we decrypt the IPsec packet,
the XFRM state used for decryption is set in the skb extensions. This
information is preserved across the netns switch. When we reach the
XFRM policy check in the container's netns, __xfrm_policy_check drops
the packet with LINUX_MIB_XFRMINNOPOLS because a (container-side) XFRM
policy can't be found that matches the (host-side) XFRM state used for
decryption.
This patch fixes this by scrubbing the packet when using
bpf_redirect_peer, as is done on typical netns switches via veth
devices except skb->mark and skb->tstamp are not zeroed.

mm/huge_memory: fix dereferencing invalid pmd migration entry
When migrating a THP, concurrent access to the PMD migration entry during
a deferred split scan can lead to an invalid address access, as
illustrated below. To prevent this invalid access, it is necessary to
check the PMD migration entry and return early. In this context, there is
no need to use pmd_to_swp_entry and pfn_swap_entry_to_page to verify the
equality of the target folio. Since the PMD migration entry is locked, it
cannot be served as the target.
Mailing list discussion and explanation from Hugh Dickins: "An anon_vma
lookup points to a location which may contain the folio of interest, but
might instead contain another folio: and weeding out those other folios is
precisely what the "folio != pmd_folio((*pmd)" check (and the "risk of
replacing the wrong folio" comment a few lines above it) is for."

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Forcibly leave SMM mode on SHUTDOWN interception
Previously, commit ed129ec9057f ("KVM: x86: forcibly leave nested mode
on vCPU reset") addressed an issue where a triple fault occurring in
nested mode could lead to use-after-free scenarios. However, the commit
did not handle the analogous situation for System Management Mode (SMM).
This omission results in triggering a WARN when KVM forces a vCPU INIT
after SHUTDOWN interception while the vCPU is in SMM. This situation was
reprodused using Syzkaller by:
1) Creating a KVM VM and vCPU
2) Sending a KVM_SMI ioctl to explicitly enter SMM
3) Executing invalid instructions causing consecutive exceptions and
eventually a triple fault
The issue manifests as follows:

Architecturally, INIT is blocked when the CPU is in SMM, hence KVM's WARN()
in kvm_vcpu_reset() to guard against KVM bugs, e.g. to detect improper
emulation of INIT. SHUTDOWN on SVM is a weird edge case where KVM needs to
do _something_ sane with the VMCB, since it's technically undefined, and
INIT is the least awful choice given KVM's ABI.
So, double down on stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN, and force the vCPU out of

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-37922

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
book3s64/radix : Align section vmemmap start address to PAGE_SIZE
A vmemmap altmap is a device-provided region used to provide
backing storage for struct pages. For each namespace, the altmap
should belong to that same namespace. If the namespaces are
created unaligned, there is a chance that the section vmemmap
start address could also be unaligned. If the section vmemmap
start address is unaligned, the altmap page allocated from the
current namespace might be used by the previous namespace also.
During the free operation, since the altmap is shared between two
namespaces, the previous namespace may detect that the page does
not belong to its altmap and incorrectly assume that the page is a
normal page. It then attempts to free the normal page, which leads
to a kernel crash.

Another issue is that if there is no altmap, a PMD-sized vmemmap
page will be allocated from RAM, regardless of the alignment of
the section start address. If the section start address is not
aligned to the PMD size, a VM_BUG_ON will be triggered when
setting the PMD-sized page to page table.
In this patch, we are aligning the section vmemmap start address
to PAGE_SIZE. After alignment, the start address will not be
part of the current namespace, and a normal page will be allocated
for the vmemmap mapping of the current section. For the remaining
sections, altmaps will be allocated. During the free operation,
the normal page will be correctly freed.
In the same way, a PMD_SIZE vmemmap page will be allocated only if
the section start address is PMD_SIZE-aligned; otherwise, it will
fall back to a PAGE-sized vmemmap allocation.
Without this patch

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix WARN_ON(!ctx) in __free_event() for partial init
Move the get_ctx(child_ctx) call and the child_event->ctx assignment to
occur immediately after the child event is allocated. Ensure that
child_event->ctx is non-NULL before any subsequent error path within
inherit_event calls free_event(), satisfying the assumptions of the
cleanup code.
Details:
There's no clear Fixes tag, because this bug is a side-effect of
multiple interacting commits over time (up to 15 years old), not
a single regression.
The code initially incremented refcount then assigned context
immediately after the child_event was created. Later, an early
validity check for child_event was added before the
refcount/assignment. Even later, a WARN_ON_ONCE() cleanup check was
added, assuming event->ctx is valid if the pmu_ctx is valid.
The problem is that the WARN_ON_ONCE() could trigger after the initial
check passed but before child_event->ctx was assigned, violating its
precondition. The solution is to assign child_event->ctx right after
its initial validation. This ensures the context exists for any
subsequent checks or cleanup routines, resolving the WARN_ON_ONCE().
To resolve it, defer the refcount update and child_event->ctx assignment
directly after child_event->pmu_ctx is set but before checking if the
parent event is orphaned. The cleanup routine depends on
event->pmu_ctx being non-NULL before it verifies event->ctx is
non-NULL. This also maintains the author's original intent of passing
in child_ctx to find_get_pmu_context before its refcount/assignment.

Fix this by adding ifdef in netfs_main(), so that /proc/fs/netfs is only
created with CONFIG_PROC_FS.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: pciehp: Avoid unnecessary device replacement check
Hot-removal of nested PCI hotplug ports suffers from a long-standing race
condition which can lead to a deadlock: A parent hotplug port acquires
pci_lock_rescan_remove(), then waits for pciehp to unbind from a child
hotplug port. Meanwhile that child hotplug port tries to acquire
pci_lock_rescan_remove() as well in order to remove its own children.
The deadlock only occurs if the parent acquires pci_lock_rescan_remove()
first, not if the child happens to acquire it first.
Several workarounds to avoid the issue have been proposed and discarded
over the years, e.g.:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/4c882e25194ba8282b78fe963fec8faae7cf23eb.1529173804.git.lukas@wunner.de/
A proper fix is being worked on, but needs more time as it is nontrivial
and necessarily intrusive.
Recent commit 9d573d19547b ("PCI: pciehp: Detect device replacement during
system sleep") provokes more frequent occurrence of the deadlock when
removing more than one Thunderbolt device during system sleep. The commit
sought to detect device replacement, but also triggered on device removal.
Differentiating reliably between replacement and removal is impossible
because pci_get_dsn() returns 0 both if the device was removed, as well as
if it was replaced with one lacking a Device Serial Number.
Avoid the more frequent occurrence of the deadlock by checking whether the
hotplug port itself was hot-removed. If so, there's no sense in checking
whether its child device was replaced.
This works because the ->resume_noirq() callback is invoked in top-down
order for the entire hierarchy: A parent hotplug port detecting device
replacement (or removal) marks all children as removed using
pci_dev_set_disconnected() and a child hotplug port can then reliably
detect being removed.

I can reproduce this issue with the following steps:
1) When a dirty swapcache page is isolated by reclaim process and the
page isn't locked, inject memory failure for the page.
me_swapcache_dirty() clears uptodate flag and tries to delete from lru,
but fails. Reclaim process will put the hwpoisoned page back to lru.
2) The process that maps the hwpoisoned page exits, the page is deleted
the page will never be freed and will be in the lru forever.
3) If we trigger a reclaim again and tries to reclaim the page,
add_to_swap() will trigger VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO due to the uptodate flag is
cleared.
To fix it, skip the hwpoisoned page in shrink_folio_list(). Besides, the
hwpoison folio may not be unmapped by hwpoison_user_mappings() yet, unmap
it in shrink_folio_list(), otherwise the folio will fail to be unmaped by
hwpoison_user_mappings() since the folio isn't in lru list.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix kmemleak warning for percpu hashmap
Vlad Poenaru reported the following kmemleak issue:
unreferenced object 0x606fd7c44ac8 (size 32):
backtrace (crc 0):
pcpu_alloc_noprof+0x730/0xeb0
bpf_map_alloc_percpu+0x69/0xc0
prealloc_init+0x9d/0x1b0

__x64_sys_bpf+0x18/0x20
do_syscall_64+0x7b/0x150
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
Further investigation shows the reason is due to not 8-byte aligned
store of percpu pointer in htab_elem_set_ptr():
*(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size) = pptr;
Note that the whole htab_elem alignment is 8 (for x86_64). If the key_size
is 4, that means pptr is stored in a location which is 4 byte aligned but
not 8 byte aligned. In mm/kmemleak.c, scan_block() scans the memory based
on 8 byte stride, so it won't detect above pptr, hence reporting the memory
leak.
In htab_map_alloc(), we already have
htab->elem_size = sizeof(struct htab_elem) +
round_up(htab->map.key_size, 8);
if (percpu)
htab->elem_size += sizeof(void *);
else
htab->elem_size += round_up(htab->map.value_size, 8);
So storing pptr with 8-byte alignment won't cause any problem and can fix
kmemleak too.
The issue can be reproduced with bpf selftest as well:
1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK config
2. Add a getchar() before skel destroy in test_hash_map() in prog_tests/for_each.c.
The purpose is to keep map available so kmemleak can be detected.
3. run './test_progs -t for_each/hash_map &' and a kmemleak should be reported.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe: Fix an out-of-bounds shift when invalidating TLB
When the size of the range invalidated is larger than
rounddown_pow_of_two(ULONG_MAX),
The function macro roundup_pow_of_two(length) will hit an out-of-bounds
shift [1].
Use a full TLB invalidation for such cases.
v2:
- Use a define for the range size limit over which we use a full
TLB invalidation. (Lucas)
- Use a better calculation of the limit.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix hang while freeing sigtrap event
Perf can hang while freeing a sigtrap event if a related deferred
signal hadn't managed to be sent before the file got closed:
perf_event_overflow()
task_work_add(perf_pending_task)
fput()
task_work_add(____fput())
task_work_run()
____fput()
perf_release()
perf_event_release_kernel()
_free_event()
perf_pending_task_sync()
task_work_cancel() -> FAILED
rcuwait_wait_event()
Once task_work_run() is running, the list of pending callbacks is
removed from the task_struct and from this point on task_work_cancel()
can't remove any pending and not yet started work items, hence the
task_work_cancel() failure and the hang on rcuwait_wait_event().
Task work could be changed to remove one work at a time, so a work
running on the current task can always cancel a pending one, however
the wait / wake design is still subject to inverted dependencies when
remote targets are involved, as pictured by Oleg:
T1 T2
fd = perf_event_open(pid => T2->pid); fd = perf_event_open(pid => T1->pid);
close(fd) close(fd)
<IRQ> <IRQ>
perf_event_overflow() perf_event_overflow()
task_work_add(perf_pending_task) task_work_add(perf_pending_task)
</IRQ> </IRQ>
fput() fput()
task_work_add(____fput()) task_work_add(____fput())
task_work_run() task_work_run()
____fput() ____fput()
perf_release() perf_release()
perf_event_release_kernel() perf_event_release_kernel()
_free_event() _free_event()
perf_pending_task_sync() perf_pending_task_sync()
rcuwait_wait_event() rcuwait_wait_event()
Therefore the only option left is to acquire the event reference count
upon queueing the perf task work and release it from the task work, just
like it was done before 3a5465418f5f ("perf: Fix event leak upon exec and file release")
but without the leaks it fixed.
Some adjustments are necessary to make it work:
* A child event might dereference its parent upon freeing. Care must be
taken to release the parent last.
* Some places assuming the event doesn't have any reference held and
therefore can be freed right away must instead put the reference and
let the reference counting to its job.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: hibernate: Avoid deadlock in hibernate_compressor_param_set()
syzbot reported a deadlock in lock_system_sleep() (see below).
The write operation to "/sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor"
conflicts with the registration of ieee80211 device, resulting in a deadlock
when attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex under param_lock.
To avoid this deadlock, change hibernate_compressor_param_set() to use
mutex_trylock() for attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex and
return -EBUSY when it fails.
Task flags need not be saved or adjusted before calling
mutex_trylock(&system_transition_mutex) because the caller is not going
to end up waiting for this mutex and if it runs concurrently with system
suspend in progress, it will be frozen properly when it returns to user
space.

Device setup:

^ ^
bond netdevsim1.100@netdevsim1 allmulticast=on (down)
When we enslave the lower device (netdevsim0) which has a vlan, we
propagate vlan's allmuti/promisc flags during ndo_open. This causes
(re)locking on of the real_dev.
Propagate allmulti/promisc on flags change, not on the open. There
is a slight semantics change that vlans that are down now propagate
the flags, but this seems unlikely to result in the real issues.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-23143

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Fix null-ptr-deref by sock_lock_init_class_and_name() and rmmod.
When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]
Reproduction Steps:
1) Mount CIFS
2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
3) Unmount CIFS
4) Unload the CIFS module
5) Remove the iptables rule
At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly. However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.
At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.
# ss -tan
State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port
FIN-WAIT-1 0 477 10.0.2.15:51062 10.0.0.137:445
# lsmod | grep cifs
cifs 1159168 0
This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket. Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.
While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().
Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.
Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class. However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.
If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.
Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().
Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Acquire SRCU in KVM_GET_MP_STATE to protect guest memory accesses
Acquire a lock on kvm->srcu when userspace is getting MP state to handle a
rather extreme edge case where "accepting" APIC events, i.e. processing
pending INIT or SIPI, can trigger accesses to guest memory. If the vCPU
is in L2 with INIT *and* a TRIPLE_FAULT request pending, then getting MP
state will trigger a nested VM-Exit by way of ->check_nested_events(), and
emuating the nested VM-Exit can access guest memory.
The splat was originally hit by syzkaller on a Google-internal kernel, and
reproduced on an upstream kernel by hacking the triple_fault_event_test
selftest to stuff a pending INIT, store an MSR on VM-Exit (to generate a
memory access on VMX), and do vcpu_mp_state_get() to trigger the scenario.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: update channel list in reg notifier instead reg worker
Currently when ath11k gets a new channel list, it will be processed
according to the following steps:
1. update new channel list to cfg80211 and queue reg_work.
2. cfg80211 handles new channel list during reg_work.
3. update cfg80211's handled channel list to firmware by
ath11k_reg_update_chan_list().
But ath11k will immediately execute step 3 after reg_work is just
queued. Since step 2 is asynchronous, cfg80211 may not have completed
handling the new channel list, which may leading to an out-of-bounds
write error:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ath11k_reg_update_chan_list

Should ensure step 2 is completely done before executing step 3. Thus
Wen raised patch[1]. When flag NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_DRIVER is set,
cfg80211 will notify ath11k after step 2 is done.
So enable the flag NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_DRIVER then cfg80211 will
notify ath11k after step 2 is done. At this time, there will be no
KASAN bug during the execution of the step 3.

If checkpoint comes from mount/umount/remount/freeze/quotactl, caller of
checkpoint has already held s_umount lock, calling dquot_writeback_dquots()

So let's record task to sbi->umount_lock_holder, so that checkpoint can
know whether the lock has held in the context or not by checking current

In addition, in order to not misrepresent caller of checkpoint, we should
not allow to trigger async checkpoint for those callers: mount/umount/remount/
freeze/quotactl.

md/md-bitmap: fix wrong bitmap_limit for clustermd when write sb
In clustermd, separate write-intent-bitmaps are used for each cluster
node:
0 4k 8k 12k
-------------------------------------------------------------------
| idle | md super | bm super [0] + bits |
| bm bits[0, contd] | bm super[1] + bits | bm bits[1, contd] |
| bm super[2] + bits | bm bits [2, contd] | bm super[3] + bits |
| bm bits [3, contd] | | |
So in node 1, pg_index in __write_sb_page() could equal to
bitmap->storage.file_pages. Then bitmap_limit will be calculated to
0. md_super_write() will be called with 0 size.
That means the first 4k sb area of node 1 will never be updated
through filemap_write_page().
This bug causes hang of mdadm/clustermd_tests/01r1_Grow_resize.
Here use (pg_index % bitmap->storage.file_pages) to make calculation
of bitmap_limit correct.

To solve above issue call xattr_check_inode() check if xattr if valid

so that there is no divergent verification.

ext4: avoid journaling sb update on error if journal is destroying
Presently we always BUG_ON if trying to start a transaction on a journal marked
with JBD2_UNMOUNT, since this should never happen. However, while ltp running
stress tests, it was observed that in case of some error handling paths, it is
possible for update_super_work to start a transaction after the journal is
destroyed eg:
(umount)
ext4_kill_sb
kill_block_super
generic_shutdown_super
sync_filesystem /* commits all txns */
evict_inodes
/* might start a new txn */
ext4_put_super
flush_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work) /* flush the workqueue */
jbd2_journal_destroy
journal_kill_thread
journal->j_flags |= JBD2_UNMOUNT;
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
jbd2_journal_get_descriptor_buffer
jbd2_journal_bmap
ext4_journal_bmap
ext4_map_blocks
...
ext4_inode_error
ext4_handle_error
schedule_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work)
/* work queue kicks in */
update_super_work
jbd2_journal_start
start_this_handle
BUG_ON(journal->j_flags &
JBD2_UNMOUNT)
Hence, introduce a new mount flag to indicate journal is destroying and only do
a journaled (and deferred) update of sb if this flag is not set. Otherwise, just
fallback to an un-journaled commit.
Further, in the journal destroy path, we have the following sequence:
1. Set mount flag indicating journal is destroying
2. force a commit and wait for it
3. flush pending sb updates
This sequence is important as it ensures that, after this point, there is no sb
update that might be journaled so it is safe to update the sb outside the
journal. (To avoid race discussed in 2d01ddc86606)
Also, we don't need a similar check in ext4_grp_locked_error since it is only
called from mballoc and AFAICT it would be always valid to schedule work here.

an mkey with 4GB entity size. The 'unsigned int' page_size variable will
overflow to '0' and we'll hit the WARN_ON() in alloc_cacheable_mr().

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-22090

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handling when fork() fails in copy_page_range()
If track_pfn_copy() fails, we already added the dst VMA to the maple
tree. As fork() fails, we'll cleanup the maple tree, and stumble over
the dst VMA for which we neither performed any reservation nor copied
any page tables.
Consequently untrack_pfn() will see VM_PAT and try obtaining the
PAT information from the page table -- which fails because the page
table was not copied.
The easiest fix would be to simply clear the VM_PAT flag of the dst VMA
if track_pfn_copy() fails. However, the whole thing is about "simply"
clearing the VM_PAT flag is shaky as well: if we passed track_pfn_copy()
and performed a reservation, but copying the page tables fails, we'll
simply clear the VM_PAT flag, not properly undoing the reservation ...
which is also wrong.
So let's fix it properly: set the VM_PAT flag only if the reservation
succeeded (leaving it clear initially), and undo the reservation if
anything goes wrong while copying the page tables: clearing the VM_PAT
flag after undoing the reservation.
Note that any copied page table entries will get zapped when the VMA will
get removed later, after copy_page_range() succeeded; as VM_PAT is not set
then, we won't try cleaning VM_PAT up once more and untrack_pfn() will be
happy. Note that leaving these page tables in place without a reservation
is not a problem, as we are aborting fork(); this process will never run.
A reproducer can trigger this usually at the first try:

Keep the documentation of these functions in include/linux/pgtable.h,
one place is more than sufficient -- we should clean that up for the other
functions like track_pfn_remap/untrack_pfn separately.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod"
This reverts commit e9f2517a3e18a54a3943c098d2226b245d488801.
Commit e9f2517a3e18 ("smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after
rmmod") is intended to fix a null-ptr-deref in LOCKDEP, which is
mentioned as CVE-2024-54680, but is actually did not fix anything;
The issue can be reproduced on top of it. [0]
Also, it reverted the change by commit ef7134c7fc48 ("smb: client:
Fix use-after-free of network namespace.") and introduced a real
issue by reviving the kernel TCP socket.
When a reconnect happens for a CIFS connection, the socket state
transitions to FIN_WAIT_1. Then, inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync()
in tcp_close() stops all timers for the socket.
If an incoming FIN packet is lost, the socket will stay at FIN_WAIT_1
forever, and such sockets could be leaked up to net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans.
Usually, FIN can be retransmitted by the peer, but if the peer aborts
the connection, the issue comes into reality.
I warned about this privately by pointing out the exact report [1],
but the bogus fix was finally merged.
So, we should not stop the timers to finally kill the connection on
our side in that case, meaning we must not use a kernel socket for
TCP whose sk->sk_net_refcnt is 0.
The kernel socket does not have a reference to its netns to make it
possible to tear down netns without cleaning up every resource in it.
For example, tunnel devices use a UDP socket internally, but we can
destroy netns without removing such devices and let it complete
during exit. Otherwise, netns would be leaked when the last application
died.
However, this is problematic for TCP sockets because TCP has timers to
close the connection gracefully even after the socket is close()d. The
lifetime of the socket and its netns is different from the lifetime of
the underlying connection.
If the socket user does not maintain the netns lifetime, the timer could
be fired after the socket is close()d and its netns is freed up, resulting
in use-after-free.
Actually, we have seen so many similar issues and converted such sockets
to have a reference to netns.
That's why I converted the CIFS client socket to have a reference to
netns (sk->sk_net_refcnt == 1), which is somehow mentioned as out-of-scope
of CIFS and technically wrong in e9f2517a3e18, but **is in-scope and right
fix**.
Regarding the LOCKDEP issue, we can prevent the module unload by
bumping the module refcount when switching the LOCKDDEP key in
sock_lock_init_class_and_name(). [2]
For a while, let's revert the bogus fix.
Note that now we can use sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() for the socket
conversion, but I'll do so later separately to make backport easy.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-22058

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Fix memory accounting leak.
Matt Dowling reported a weird UDP memory usage issue.
Under normal operation, the UDP memory usage reported in /proc/net/sockstat
remains close to zero. However, it occasionally spiked to 524,288 pages
and never dropped. Moreover, the value doubled when the application was
terminated. Finally, it caused intermittent packet drops.
We can reproduce the issue with the script below [0]:
1. /proc/net/sockstat reports 0 pages
# cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP:
UDP: inuse 1 mem 0
2. Run the script till the report reaches 524,288
# python3 test.py & sleep 5
# cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP:
UDP: inuse 3 mem 524288 <-- (INT_MAX + 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT
3. Kill the socket and confirm the number never drops
# pkill python3 && sleep 5
# cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP:
UDP: inuse 1 mem 524288
4. (necessary since v6.0) Trigger proto_memory_pcpu_drain()
# python3 test.py & sleep 1 && pkill python3
5. The number doubles
# cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP:
UDP: inuse 1 mem 1048577
The application set INT_MAX to SO_RCVBUF, which triggered an integer
overflow in udp_rmem_release().
When a socket is close()d, udp_destruct_common() purges its receive
queue and sums up skb->truesize in the queue. This total is calculated
and stored in a local unsigned integer variable.
The total size is then passed to udp_rmem_release() to adjust memory
accounting. However, because the function takes a signed integer
argument, the total size can wrap around, causing an overflow.
Then, the released amount is calculated as follows:
1) Add size to sk->sk_forward_alloc.
2) Round down sk->sk_forward_alloc to the nearest lower multiple of
PAGE_SIZE and assign it to amount.
3) Subtract amount from sk->sk_forward_alloc.
4) Pass amount >> PAGE_SHIFT to __sk_mem_reduce_allocated().
When the issue occurred, the total in udp_destruct_common() was 2147484480
(INT_MAX + 833), which was cast to -2147482816 in udp_rmem_release().
At 1) sk->sk_forward_alloc is changed from 3264 to -2147479552, and
2) sets -2147479552 to amount. 3) reverts the wraparound, so we don't
see a warning in inet_sock_destruct(). However, udp_memory_allocated
ends up doubling at 4).
Since commit 3cd3399dd7a8 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for
memory_allocated"), memory usage no longer doubles immediately after
a socket is close()d because __sk_mem_reduce_allocated() caches the
amount in udp_memory_per_cpu_fw_alloc. However, the next time a UDP
socket receives a packet, the subtraction takes effect, causing UDP
memory usage to double.
This issue makes further memory allocation fail once the socket's
sk->sk_rmem_alloc exceeds net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min, resulting in packet
drops.
To prevent this issue, let's use unsigned int for the calculation and
call sk_forward_alloc_add() only once for the small delta.
Note that first_packet_length() also potentially has the same problem.
[0]:
from socket import *
SO_RCVBUFFORCE = 33
INT_MAX = (2 ** 31) - 1
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind(('', 0))
s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUFFORCE, INT_MAX)
c = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
c.connect(s.getsockname())
data = b'a' * 100
while True:
c.send(data)

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ibmveth: make veth_pool_store stop hanging
v2:
- Created a single error handling unlock and exit in veth_pool_store
- Greatly expanded commit message with previous explanatory-only text
Summary: Use rtnl_mutex to synchronize veth_pool_store with itself,
ibmveth_close and ibmveth_open, preventing multiple calls in a row to
napi_disable.
Background: Two (or more) threads could call veth_pool_store through
writing to /sys/devices/vio/30000002/pool*/*. You can do this easily
with a little shell script. This causes a hang.
I configured LOCKDEP, compiled ibmveth.c with DEBUG, and built a new
kernel. I ran this test again and saw:

nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() would manipulate the list of transports of
server's sv_permsocks and close the specified listener but the other
list of transports (server's sp_xprts list) would not be changed leading
to the problem above.
Instead, determined if the nfsdctl is trying to remove a listener, in
which case, delete all the existing listener transports and re-create
all-but-the-removed ones.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Don't skip on Stopped - Length Invalid
Up until commit d56b0b2ab142 ("usb: xhci: ensure skipped isoc TDs are
returned when isoc ring is stopped") in v6.11, the driver didn't skip
missed isochronous TDs when handling Stoppend and Stopped - Length
Invalid events. Instead, it erroneously cleared the skip flag, which
would cause the ring to get stuck, as future events won't match the
missed TD which is never removed from the queue until it's cancelled.
This buggy logic seems to have been in place substantially unchanged
since the 3.x series over 10 years ago, which probably speaks first
and foremost about relative rarity of this case in normal usage, but
by the spec I see no reason why it shouldn't be possible.
After d56b0b2ab142, TDs are immediately skipped when handling those
Stopped events. This poses a potential problem in case of Stopped -
Length Invalid, which occurs either on completed TDs (likely already
given back) or Link and No-Op TRBs. Such event won't be recognized
as matching any TD (unless it's the rare Link TRB inside a TD) and
will result in skipping all pending TDs, giving them back possibly
before they are done, risking isoc data loss and maybe UAF by HW.
As a compromise, don't skip and don't clear the skip flag on this
kind of event. Then the next event will skip missed TDs. A downside
of not handling Stopped - Length Invalid on a Link inside a TD is
that if the TD is cancelled, its actual length will not be updated
to account for TRBs (silently) completed before the TD was stopped.
I had no luck producing this sequence of completion events so there
is no compelling demonstration of any resulting disaster. It may be
a very rare, obscure condition. The sole motivation for this patch
is that if such unlikely event does occur, I'd rather risk reporting
a cancelled partially done isoc frame as empty than gamble with UAF.
This will be fixed more properly by looking at Stopped event's TRB
pointer when making skipping decisions, but such rework is unlikely
to be backported to v6.12, which will stay around for a few years.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: bnxt: return fail if interface is down in bnxt_queue_mem_alloc()
The bnxt_queue_mem_alloc() is called to allocate new queue memory when
a queue is restarted.
It internally accesses rx buffer descriptor corresponding to the index.
The rx buffer descriptor is allocated and set when the interface is up
and it's freed when the interface is down.
So, if queue is restarted if interface is down, kernel panic occurs.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-21973

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: bnxt: fix kernel panic in the bnxt_get_queue_stats{rx | tx}
When qstats-get operation is executed, callbacks of netdev_stats_ops
are called. The bnxt_get_queue_stats{rx | tx} collect per-queue stats
from sw_stats in the rings.
But {rx | tx | cp}_ring are allocated when the interface is up.
So, these rings are not allocated when the interface is down.
The qstats-get is allowed even if the interface is down. However,
the bnxt_get_queue_stats{rx | tx}() accesses cp_ring and tx_ring
without null check.
So, it needs to avoid accessing rings if the interface is down.
Reproducer:
ip link set $interface down
./cli.py --spec netdev.yaml --dump qstats-get
OR
ip link set $interface down
python ./stats.py

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conncount: Fully initialize struct nf_conncount_tuple in insert_tree()
Since commit b36e4523d4d5 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: fix garbage
collection confirm race"), `cpu` and `jiffies32` were introduced to
the struct nf_conncount_tuple.
The commit made nf_conncount_add() initialize `conn->cpu` and
`conn->jiffies32` when allocating the struct.
In contrast, count_tree() was not changed to initialize them.
By commit 34848d5c896e ("netfilter: nf_conncount: Split insert and
traversal"), count_tree() was split and the relevant allocation
code now resides in insert_tree().
Initialize `conn->cpu` and `conn->jiffies32` in insert_tree().

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/hmm: Don't dereference struct page pointers without notifier lock
The pnfs that we obtain from hmm_range_fault() point to pages that
we don't have a reference on, and the guarantee that they are still
in the cpu page-tables is that the notifier lock must be held and the
notifier seqno is still valid.
So while building the sg table and marking the pages accesses / dirty
we need to hold this lock with a validated seqno.
However, the lock is reclaim tainted which makes
sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment() unusable, since it internally
allocates memory.
Instead build the sg-table manually. For the non-iommu case
this might lead to fewer coalesces, but if that's a problem it can
be fixed up later in the resource cursor code. For the iommu case,
the whole sg-table may still be coalesced to a single contigous
device va region.
This avoids marking pages that we don't own dirty and accessed, and
it also avoid dereferencing struct pages that we don't own.
v2:
- Use assert to check whether hmm pfns are valid (Matthew Auld)
- Take into account that large pages may cross range boundaries
(Matthew Auld)
v3:
- Don't unnecessarily check for a non-freed sg-table. (Matthew Auld)
- Add a missing up_read() in an error path. (Matthew Auld)

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix 'scheduling while atomic' in mptcp_pm_nl_append_new_local_addr
If multiple connection requests attempt to create an implicit mptcp
endpoint in parallel, more than one caller may end up in
mptcp_pm_nl_append_new_local_addr because none found the address in
local_addr_list during their call to mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id. In this
case, the concurrent new_local_addr calls may delete the address entry
created by the previous caller. These deletes use synchronize_rcu, but
this is not permitted in some of the contexts where this function may be
called. During packet recv, the caller may be in a rcu read critical
section and have preemption disabled.

This problem seems particularly prevalent if the user advertises an
endpoint that has a different external vs internal address. In the case
where the external address is advertised and multiple connections
already exist, multiple subflow SYNs arrive in parallel which tends to
trigger the race during creation of the first local_addr_list entries
which have the internal address instead.
Fix by skipping the replacement of an existing implicit local address if
called via mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: intel-ish-hid: Fix use-after-free issue in hid_ishtp_cl_remove()
During the `rmmod` operation for the `intel_ishtp_hid` driver, a
use-after-free issue can occur in the hid_ishtp_cl_remove() function.
The function hid_ishtp_cl_deinit() is called before ishtp_hid_remove(),
which can lead to accessing freed memory or resources during the
removal process.
Call Trace:

...
Additionally, ishtp_hid_remove() is a HID level power off, which should
occur before the ISHTP level disconnect.
This patch resolves the issue by reordering the calls in
hid_ishtp_cl_remove(). The function ishtp_hid_remove() is now
called before hid_ishtp_cl_deinit().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers list
The following commands causes a crash:

~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid:onmax(bogus).save(common_pid)' > trigger
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid' > trigger
Because the following occurs:
event_trigger_write() {
trigger_process_regex() {
event_hist_trigger_parse() {
data = event_trigger_alloc(..);
event_trigger_register(.., data) {
cmd_ops->reg(.., data, ..) [hist_register_trigger()] {
data->ops->init() [event_hist_trigger_init()] {
save_named_trigger(name, data) {
list_add(&data->named_list, &named_triggers);
}
}
}
}
ret = create_actions(); (return -EINVAL)
if (ret)
goto out_unreg;
[..]
ret = hist_trigger_enable(data, ...) {
list_add_tail_rcu(&data->list, &file->triggers); <<<---- SKIPPED!!! (this is important!)
[..]
out_unreg:
event_hist_unregister(.., data) {
cmd_ops->unreg(.., data, ..) [hist_unregister_trigger()] {
list_for_each_entry(iter, &file->triggers, list) {

del_named_trigger(data) {
list_del(&data->named_list); <<<<-- NEVER gets removed!
}
}
}
}
[..]
kfree(data); <<<-- frees item but it is still on list
The next time a hist with name is registered, it causes an u-a-f bug and
the kernel can crash.
Move the code around such that if event_trigger_register() succeeds, the
next thing called is hist_trigger_enable() which adds it to the list.
A bunch of actions is called if get_named_trigger_data() returns false.
But that doesn't need to be called after event_trigger_register(), so it
can be moved up, allowing event_trigger_register() to be called just
before hist_trigger_enable() keeping them together and allowing the
file->triggers to be properly populated.

During recovery, before transitioning the QP to the RESET state, the
software must wait for all outstanding WRs to complete.
Failing to do so can cause the firmware to skip sending some flushed
CQEs with errors and simply discard them upon the RESET, as per the IB
specification.
This race condition can result in lost CQEs and tasks becoming stuck.
To resolve this, the patch sends a final WR which serves only as a
barrier before moving the QP state to RESET.
Once a CQE is received for that final WR, it guarantees that no
outstanding WRs remain, making it safe to transition the QP to RESET and
subsequently back to RTS, restoring proper functionality.
Note:
For the barrier WR, we simply reuse the failed and ready WR.
Since the QP is in an error state, it will only receive
IB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR. However, as it serves only as a barrier we don't
care about its status.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate_device: don't add folio to be freed to LRU in migrate_device_finalize()
If migration succeeded, we called
folio_migrate_flags()->mem_cgroup_migrate() to migrate the memcg from the
old to the new folio. This will set memcg_data of the old folio to 0.
Similarly, if migration failed, memcg_data of the dst folio is left unset.
If we call folio_putback_lru() on such folios (memcg_data == 0), we will
add the folio to be freed to the LRU, making memcg code unhappy. Running
the hmm selftests:

Likely, nothing else goes wrong: putting the last folio reference will
remove the folio from the LRU again. So besides memcg complaining, adding
the folio to be freed to the LRU is just an unnecessary step.
The new flow resembles what we have in migrate_folio_move(): add the dst
to the lru, rem

ibmvnic: Don't reference skb after sending to VIOS
Previously, after successfully flushing the xmit buffer to VIOS,
the tx_bytes stat was incremented by the length of the skb.
It is invalid to access the skb memory after sending the buffer to
the VIOS because, at any point after sending, the VIOS can trigger
an interrupt to free this memory. A race between reading skb->len
and freeing the skb is possible (especially during LPM) and will
result in use-after-free:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sockmap, vsock: For connectible sockets allow only connected
sockmap expects all vsocks to have a transport assigned, which is expressed
in vsock_proto::psock_update_sk_prot(). However, there is an edge case
where an unconnected (connectible) socket may lose its previously assigned
transport. This is handled with a NULL check in the vsock/BPF recv path.
Another design detail is that listening vsocks are not supposed to have any
transport assigned at all. Which implies they are not supported by the
sockmap. But this is complicated by the fact that a socket, before
switching to TCP_LISTEN, may have had some transport assigned during a
failed connect() attempt. Hence, we may end up with a listening vsock in a
sockmap, which blows up quickly:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Add rx_skb of kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[].
Yan Zhai reported a BPF prog could trigger a null-ptr-deref [0]
in trace_kfree_skb if the prog does not check if rx_sk is NULL.
Commit c53795d48ee8 ("net: add rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb") added
rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb, but rx_sk is optional and could be NULL.
Let's add kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[] to let the BPF verifier
validate such a prog and prevent the issue.
Now we fail to load such a prog:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Load DR6 with guest value only before entering .vcpu_run() loop
Move the conditional loading of hardware DR6 with the guest's DR6 value
out of the core .vcpu_run() loop to fix a bug where KVM can load hardware
with a stale vcpu->arch.dr6.
When the guest accesses a DR and host userspace isn't debugging the guest,
KVM disables DR interception and loads the guest's values into hardware on
VM-Enter and saves them on VM-Exit. This allows the guest to access DRs
at will, e.g. so that a sequence of DR accesses to configure a breakpoint
only generates one VM-Exit.
For DR0-DR3, the logic/behavior is identical between VMX and SVM, and also
identical between KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED (userspace debugging the guest)
and KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT (guest using DRs), and so KVM handles loading
DR0-DR3 in common code, _outside_ of the core kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_run() loop.
But for DR6, the guest's value doesn't need to be loaded into hardware for
KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED, and SVM provides a dedicated VMCB field whereas
VMX requires software to manually load the guest value, and so loading the
guest's value into DR6 is handled by {svm,vmx}_vcpu_run(), i.e. is done
_inside_ the core run loop.
Unfortunately, saving the guest values on VM-Exit is initiated by common
x86, again outside of the core run loop. If the guest modifies DR6 (in
hardware, when DR interception is disabled), and then the next VM-Exit is
a fastpath VM-Exit, KVM will reload hardware DR6 with vcpu->arch.dr6 and
clobber the guest's actual value.
The bug shows up primarily with nested VMX because KVM handles the VMX
preemption timer in the fastpath, and the window between hardware DR6
being modified (in guest context) and DR6 being read by guest software is
orders of magnitude larger in a nested setup. E.g. in non-nested, the
VMX preemption timer would need to fire precisely between #DB injection
and the #DB handler's read of DR6, whereas with a KVM-on-KVM setup, the
window where hardware DR6 is "dirty" extends all the way from L1 writing
DR6 to VMRESUME (in L1).

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-21809

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc, afs: Fix peer hash locking vs RCU callback
In its address list, afs now retains pointers to and refs on one or more
rxrpc_peer objects. The address list is freed under RCU and at this time,
it puts the refs on those peers.
Now, when an rxrpc_peer object runs out of refs, it gets removed from the
peer hash table and, for that, rxrpc has to take a spinlock. However, it
is now being called from afs's RCU cleanup, which takes place in BH
context - but it is just taking an ordinary spinlock.
The put may also be called from non-BH context, and so there exists the
possibility of deadlock if the BH-based RCU cleanup happens whilst the hash
spinlock is held. This led to the attached lockdep complaint.
Fix this by changing spinlocks of rxnet->peer_hash_lock back to
BH-disabling locks.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Fix use-after free in init error and remove paths
devm_blk_crypto_profile_init() registers a cleanup handler to run when
the associated (platform-) device is being released. For UFS, the
crypto private data and pointers are stored as part of the ufs_hba's
data structure 'struct ufs_hba::crypto_profile'. This structure is
allocated as part of the underlying ufshcd and therefore Scsi_host
allocation.
During driver release or during error handling in ufshcd_pltfrm_init(),
this structure is released as part of ufshcd_dealloc_host() before the
(platform-) device associated with the crypto call above is released.
Once this device is released, the crypto cleanup code will run, using
the just-released 'struct ufs_hba::crypto_profile'. This causes a
use-after-free situation:
Call trace:

In other words, the initialisation code flow is:
platform-device probe
ufshcd_pltfrm_init()
ufshcd_alloc_host()
scsi_host_alloc()
allocation of struct ufs_hba
creation of scsi-host devices
devm_blk_crypto_profile_init()
devm registration of cleanup handler using platform-device
and during error handling of ufshcd_pltfrm_init() or during driver
removal:
ufshcd_dealloc_host()
scsi_host_put()
put_device(scsi-host)
release of struct ufs_hba
put_device(platform-device)
crypto cleanup handler
To fix this use-after free, change ufshcd_alloc_host() to register a
devres action to automatically cleanup the underlying SCSI device on
ufshcd destruction, without requiring explicit calls to
ufshcd_dealloc_host(). This way:
* the crypto profile and all other ufs_hba-owned resources are
destroyed before SCSI (as they've been registered after)
* a memleak is plugged in tc-dwc-g210-pci.c remove() as a
side-effect
* EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ufshcd_dealloc_host) can be removed fully as
it's not needed anymore
* no future drivers using ufshcd_alloc_host() could ever forget
adding the cleanup

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix a race for an ODP MR which leads to CQE with error
This patch addresses a race condition for an ODP MR that can result in a
CQE with an error on the UMR QP.
During the __mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() flow, the following sequence of calls
occurs:
mlx5_revoke_mr()
mlx5r_umr_revoke_mr()
mlx5r_umr_post_send_wait()
At this point, the lkey is freed from the hardware's perspective.
However, concurrently, mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() might be triggered by
another task attempting to invalidate a range for the same freed lkey.
This task will:
- Acquire the umem_odp->umem_mutex lock.
- Call mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() on the UMR QP.
- Since the lkey has already been freed, this can lead to a CQE error,
causing the UMR QP to enter an error state [1].
To resolve this race condition, the umem_odp->umem_mutex lock is now also
acquired as part of the mlx5_revoke_mr() scope. Upon successful revoke,
we set umem_odp->private which points to that MR to NULL, preventing any
further invalidation attempts on its lkey.

unset the flag and calls ieee80211_scan_completed() that will free

Description:

kernel: be more careful about dup_mmap() failures and uprobe registering
If a memory allocation fails during dup_mmap(), the maple tree can be left
in an unsafe state for other iterators besides the exit path. All the
locks are dropped before the exit_mmap() call (in mm/mmap.c), but the
incomplete mm_struct can be reached through (at least) the rmap finding
the vmas which have a pointer back to the mm_struct.
Up to this point, there have been no issues with being able to find an
mm_struct that was only partially initialised. Syzbot was able to make
the incomplete mm_struct fail with recent forking changes, so it has been
proven unsafe to use the mm_struct that hasn't been initialised, as
referenced in the link below.
Although 8ac662f5da19f ("fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to
invalid mm") fixed the uprobe access, it does not completely remove the
race.
This patch sets the MMF_OOM_SKIP to avoid the iteration of the vmas on the
oom side (even though this is extremely unlikely to be selected as an oom
victim in the race window), and sets MMF_UNSTABLE to avoid other potential
users from using a partially initialised mm_struct.
When registering vmas for uprobe, skip the vmas in an mm that is marked
unstable. Modifying a vma in an unstable mm may cause issues if the mm
isn't fully initialised.

mptcp: consolidate suboption status
MPTCP maintains the received sub-options status is the bitmask carrying
the received suboptions and in several bitfields carrying per suboption
additional info.
Zeroing the bitmask before parsing is not enough to ensure a consistent
status, and the MPTCP code has to additionally clear some bitfiled
depending on the actually parsed suboption.
The above schema is fragile, and syzbot managed to trigger a path where
a relevant bitfield is not cleared/initialized:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: only set fullmesh for subflow endp
With the in-kernel path-manager, it is possible to change the 'fullmesh'
flag. The code in mptcp_pm_nl_fullmesh() expects to change it only on
'subflow' endpoints, to recreate more or less subflows using the linked
address.
Unfortunately, the set_flags() hook was a bit more permissive, and
allowed 'implicit' endpoints to get the 'fullmesh' flag while it is not
allowed before.
That's what syzbot found, triggering the following warning:

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-21693

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: zswap: properly synchronize freeing resources during CPU hotunplug
In zswap_compress() and zswap_decompress(), the per-CPU acomp_ctx of the
current CPU at the beginning of the operation is retrieved and used
throughout. However, since neither preemption nor migration are disabled,
it is possible that the operation continues on a different CPU.
If the original CPU is hotunplugged while the acomp_ctx is still in use,
we run into a UAF bug as some of the resources attached to the acomp_ctx
are freed during hotunplug in zswap_cpu_comp_dead() (i.e.
acomp_ctx.buffer, acomp_ctx.req, or acomp_ctx.acomp).
The problem was introduced in commit 1ec3b5fe6eec ("mm/zswap: move to use
crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration") when the switch to the
crypto_acomp API was made. Prior to that, the per-CPU crypto_comp was
retrieved using get_cpu_ptr() which disables preemption and makes sure the
CPU cannot go away from under us. Preemption cannot be disabled with the
crypto_acomp API as a sleepable context is needed.
Use the acomp_ctx.mutex to synchronize CPU hotplug callbacks allocating
and freeing resources with compression/decompression paths. Make sure
that acomp_ctx.req is NULL when the resources are freed. In the
compression/decompression paths, check if acomp_ctx.req is NULL after
acquiring the mutex (meaning the CPU was offlined) and retry on the new
CPU.
The initialization of acomp_ctx.mutex is moved from the CPU hotplug
callback to the pool initialization where it belongs (where the mutex is
allocated). In addition to adding clarity, this makes sure that CPU
hotplug cannot reinitialize a mutex that is already locked by
compression/decompression.
Previously a fix was attempted by holding cpus_read_lock() [1]. This
would have caused a potential deadlock as it is possible for code already
holding the lock to fall into reclaim and enter zswap (causing a
deadlock). A fix was also attempted using SRCU for synchronization, but
Johannes pointed out that synchronize_srcu() cannot be used in CPU hotplug
notifiers [2].
Alternative fixes that were considered/attempted and could have worked:
- Refcounting the per-CPU acomp_ctx. This involves complexity in
handling the race between the refcount dropping to zero in
zswap_[de]compress() and the refcount being re-initialized when the
CPU is onlined.
- Disabling migration before getting the per-CPU acomp_ctx [3], but
that's discouraged and is a much bigger hammer than needed, and could
result in subtle performance issues.

Scandy Opinion:

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: bnxt: always recalculate features after XDP clearing, fix null-deref
Recalculate features when XDP is detached.
Before:
# ip li set dev eth0 xdp obj xdp_dummy.bpf.o sec xdp
# ip li set dev eth0 xdp off
# ethtool -k eth0 | grep gro
rx-gro-hw: off [requested on]
After:
# ip li set dev eth0 xdp obj xdp_dummy.bpf.o sec xdp
# ip li set dev eth0 xdp off
# ethtool -k eth0 | grep gro
rx-gro-hw: on
The fact that HW-GRO doesn't get re-enabled automatically is just
a minor annoyance. The real issue is that the features will randomly
come back during another reconfiguration which just happens to invoke
netdev_update_features(). The driver doesn't handle reconfiguring
two things at a time very robustly.
Starting with commit 98ba1d931f61 ("bnxt_en: Fix RSS logic in
__bnxt_reserve_rings()") we only reconfigure the RSS hash table
if the "effective" number of Rx rings has changed. If HW-GRO is
enabled "effective" number of rings is 2x what user sees.
So if we are in the bad state, with HW-GRO re-enablement "pending"
after XDP off, and we lower the rings by / 2 - the HW-GRO rings
doing 2x and the ethtool -L doing / 2 may cancel each other out,
and the:
if (old_rx_rings != bp->hw_resc.resv_rx_rings &&
condition in __bnxt_reserve_rings() will be false.
The RSS map won't get updated, and we'll crash with:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000168
RIP: 0010:__bnxt_hwrm_vnic_set_rss+0x13a/0x1a0

bnxt_open_nic+0x2b/0x60
ethtool_set_channels+0x18c/0x1d0
As we try to access a freed ring.
The issue is present since XDP support was added, really, but
prior to commit 98ba1d931f61 ("bnxt_en: Fix RSS logic in
__bnxt_reserve_rings()") it wasn't causing major issues.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-58100

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: check changes_pkt_data property for extension programs
When processing calls to global sub-programs, verifier decides whether
to invalidate all packet pointers in current state depending on the
changes_pkt_data property of the global sub-program.
Because of this, an extension program replacing a global sub-program
must be compatible with changes_pkt_data property of the sub-program
being replaced.
This commit:
- adds changes_pkt_data flag to struct bpf_prog_aux:
- this flag is set in check_cfg() for main sub-program;
- in jit_subprogs() for other sub-programs;
- modifies bpf_check_attach_btf_id() to check changes_pkt_data flag;
- moves call to check_attach_btf_id() after the call to check_cfg(),
because it needs changes_pkt_data flag to be set:
bpf_check:
... ...
- check_attach_btf_id resolve_pseudo_ldimm64
resolve_pseudo_ldimm64 --> bpf_prog_is_offloaded
bpf_prog_is_offloaded check_cfg
check_cfg + check_attach_btf_id
... ...
The following fields are set by check_attach_btf_id():
- env->ops
- prog->aux->attach_btf_trace
- prog->aux->attach_func_name
- prog->aux->attach_func_proto
- prog->aux->dst_trampoline
- prog->aux->mod
- prog->aux->saved_dst_attach_type
- prog->aux->saved_dst_prog_type
- prog->expected_attach_type
Neither of these fields are used by resolve_pseudo_ldimm64() or
bpf_prog_offload_verifier_prep() (for netronome and netdevsim
drivers), so the reordering is safe.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: track changes_pkt_data property for global functions
When processing calls to certain helpers, verifier invalidates all
packet pointers in a current state. For example, consider the
following program:
__attribute__((__noinline__))
long skb_pull_data(struct __sk_buff *sk, __u32 len)
{
return bpf_skb_pull_data(sk, len);
}
SEC("tc")
int test_invalidate_checks(struct __sk_buff *sk)
{
int *p = (void *)(long)sk->data;
if ((void *)(p + 1) > (void *)(long)sk->data_end) return TCX_DROP;
skb_pull_data(sk, 0);
*p = 42;
return TCX_PASS;
}
After a call to bpf_skb_pull_data() the pointer 'p' can't be used
safely. See function filter.c:bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data() for a list
of such helpers.
At the moment verifier invalidates packet pointers when processing
helper function calls, and does not traverse global sub-programs when
processing calls to global sub-programs. This means that calls to
helpers done from global sub-programs do not invalidate pointers in
the caller state. E.g. the program above is unsafe, but is not
rejected by verifier.
This commit fixes the omission by computing field
bpf_subprog_info->changes_pkt_data for each sub-program before main
verification pass.
changes_pkt_data should be set if:
- subprogram calls helper for which bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data
returns true;
- subprogram calls a global function,
for which bpf_subprog_info->changes_pkt_data should be set.
The verifier.c:check_cfg() pass is modified to compute this
information. The commit relies on depth first instruction traversal
done by check_cfg() and absence of recursive function calls:
- check_cfg() would eventually visit every call to subprogram S in a
state when S is fully explored;
- when S is fully explored:
- every direct helper call within S is explored
(and thus changes_pkt_data is set if needed);
- every call to subprogram S1 called by S was visited with S1 fully
explored (and thus S inherits changes_pkt_data from S1).
The downside of such approach is that dead code elimination is not
taken into account: if a helper call inside global function is dead
because of current configuration, verifier would conservatively assume
that the call occurs for the purpose of the changes_pkt_data
computation.

wifi: ath11k: fix RCU stall while reaping monitor destination ring
While processing the monitor destination ring, MSDUs are reaped from the
link descriptor based on the corresponding buf_id.
However, sometimes the driver cannot obtain a valid buffer corresponding
to the buf_id received from the hardware. This causes an infinite loop
in the destination processing, resulting in a kernel crash.
kernel log:
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed
Fix this by skipping the problematic buf_id and reaping the next entry,
replacing the break with the next MSDU processing.

Description:

wifi: ath11k: add srng->lock for ath11k_hal_srng_* in monitor mode
ath11k_hal_srng_* should be used with srng->lock to protect srng data.
For ath11k_dp_rx_mon_dest_process() and ath11k_dp_full_mon_process_rx(),
they use ath11k_hal_srng_* for many times but never call srng->lock.
So when running (full) monitor mode, warning will occur:
RIP: 0010:ath11k_hal_srng_dst_peek+0x18/0x30 [ath11k]
Call Trace:
? ath11k_hal_srng_dst_peek+0x18/0x30 [ath11k]

So add srng->lock for them to avoid such warnings.
Inorder to fetch the srng->lock, should change srng's definition from
'void' to 'struct hal_srng'. And initialize them elsewhere to prevent
one line of code from being too long. This is consistent with other ring
process functions, such as ath11k_dp_process_rx().

bpf: Fix deadlock when freeing cgroup storage
The following commit
bc235cdb423a ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]")
first introduced deadlock prevention for fentry/fexit programs attaching
on bpf_task_storage helpers. That commit also employed the logic in map
free path in its v6 version.
Later bpf_cgrp_storage was first introduced in
c4bcfb38a95e ("bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs")
which faces the same issue as bpf_task_storage, instead of its busy
counter, NULL was passed to bpf_local_storage_map_free() which opened
a window to cause deadlock:

Progs:

- cgid (BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH)
Record the id of the cgroup the current task belonging
to in this hash map, using the address of the cgroup
as the map key.
- cgrpa (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE)
If current task is a kworker, lookup the above hash
map using function parameter @owner as the key to get
its corresponding cgroup id which is then used to get
a trusted pointer to the cgroup through
bpf_cgroup_from_id(). This trusted pointer can then
be passed to bpf_cgrp_storage_get() to finally trigger
the deadlock issue.
- B: SEC("tp_btf/sys_enter")
- cgrpb (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE)
The only purpose of this prog is to fill Prog A's
hash map by calling bpf_cgrp_storage_get() for as
many userspace tasks as possible.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run A;
- while (true) { Run B; Destroy B; }
Fix this issue by passing its busy counter to the free procedure so
it can be properly incremented before storage/smap locking.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: convert workqueues to unbound
When a workqueue is created with `WQ_UNBOUND`, its work items are
served by special worker-pools, whose host workers are not bound to
any specific CPU. In the default configuration (i.e. when
`queue_delayed_work` and friends do not specify which CPU to run the
work item on), `WQ_UNBOUND` allows the work item to be executed on any
CPU in the same node of the CPU it was enqueued on. While this
solution potentially sacrifices locality, it avoids contention with
other processes that might dominate the CPU time of the processor the
work item was scheduled on.
This is not just a theoretical problem: in a particular scenario
misconfigured process was hogging most of the time from CPU0, leaving
less than 0.5% of its CPU time to the kworker. The IDPF workqueues
that were using the kworker on CPU0 suffered large completion delays
as a result, causing performance degradation, timeouts and eventual
system crash.
* I have also run a manual test to gauge the performance
improvement. The test consists of an antagonist process
(`./stress --cpu 2`) consuming as much of CPU 0 as possible. This
process is run under `taskset 01` to bind it to CPU0, and its
priority is changed with `chrt -pQ 9900 10000 ${pid}` and
`renice -n -20 ${pid}` after start.
Then, the IDPF driver is forced to prefer CPU0 by editing all calls
to `queue_delayed_work`, `mod_delayed_work`, etc... to use CPU 0.
Finally, `ktraces` for the workqueue events are collected.
Without the current patch, the antagonist process can force
arbitrary delays between `workqueue_queue_work` and
`workqueue_execute_start`, that in my tests were as high as
`30ms`. With the current patch applied, the workqueue can be
migrated to another unloaded CPU in the same node, and, keeping
everything else equal, the maximum delay I could see was `6us`.

The crash can be also be reproduced with the following (with a tc
recompiled to allow for sfq limits of 1):
tc qdisc add dev dummy0 handle 1: root tbf rate 1Kbit burst 100b lat 1s
../iproute2-6.9.0/tc/tc qdisc add dev dummy0 handle 2: parent 1:10 sfq limit 1
ifconfig dummy0 up
ping -I dummy0 -f -c2 -W0.1 8.8.8.8
sleep 1
Scenario that triggers the crash:
* the first packet is sent and queued in TBF and SFQ; qdisc qlen is 1
* TBF dequeues: it peeks from SFQ which moves the packet to the
gso_skb list and keeps qdisc qlen set to 1. TBF is out of tokens so
it schedules itself for later.
* the second packet is sent and TBF tries to queues it to SFQ. qdisc
qlen is now 2 and because the SFQ limit is 1 the packet is dropped
by SFQ. At this point qlen is 1, and all of the SFQ slots are empty,
however q->tail is not NULL.
At this point, assuming no more packets are queued, when sch_dequeue
runs again it will decrement the qlen for the current empty slot
causing an underflow and the subsequent out of bounds access.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-57974

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Deal with race between UDP socket address change and rehash
If a UDP socket changes its local address while it's receiving
datagrams, as a result of connect(), there is a period during which
a lookup operation might fail to find it, after the address is changed
but before the secondary hash (port and address) and the four-tuple
hash (local and remote ports and addresses) are updated.
Secondary hash chains were introduced by commit 30fff9231fad ("udp:
bind() optimisation") and, as a result, a rehash operation became
needed to make a bound socket reachable again after a connect().
This operation was introduced by commit 719f835853a9 ("udp: add
rehash on connect()") which isn't however a complete fix: the
socket will be found once the rehashing completes, but not while
it's pending.
This is noticeable with a socat(1) server in UDP4-LISTEN mode, and a
client sending datagrams to it. After the server receives the first
datagram (cf. _xioopen_ipdgram_listen()), it issues a connect() to
the address of the sender, in order to set up a directed flow.
Now, if the client, running on a different CPU thread, happens to
send a (subsequent) datagram while the server's socket changes its
address, but is not rehashed yet, this will result in a failed
lookup and a port unreachable error delivered to the client, as
apparent from the following reproducer:
LEN=$(($(cat /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default) / 4))
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=${LEN} of=tmp.in
while :; do
taskset -c 1 socat UDP4-LISTEN:1337,null-eof OPEN:tmp.out,create,trunc &
sleep 0.1 || sleep 1
taskset -c 2 socat OPEN:tmp.in UDP4:localhost:1337,shut-null
wait
done
where the client will eventually get ECONNREFUSED on a write()
(typically the second or third one of a given iteration):
2024/11/13 21:28:23 socat[46901] E write(6, 0x556db2e3c000, 8192): Connection refused
This issue was first observed as a seldom failure in Podman's tests
checking UDP functionality while using pasta(1) to connect the
container's network namespace, which leads us to a reproducer with
the lookup error resulting in an ICMP packet on a tap device:
LOCAL_ADDR="$(ip -j -4 addr show|jq -rM '.[] | .addr_info[0] | select(.scope == "global").local')"
while :; do
./pasta --config-net -p pasta.pcap -u 1337 socat UDP4-LISTEN:1337,null-eof OPEN:tmp.out,create,trunc &
sleep 0.2 || sleep 1
socat OPEN:tmp.in UDP4:${LOCAL_ADDR}:1337,shut-null
wait
cmp tmp.in tmp.out
done
Once this fails:
tmp.in tmp.out differ: char 8193, line 29
we can finally have a look at what's going on:
$ tshark -r pasta.pcap

References:

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-56765

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries/vas: Add close() callback in vas_vm_ops struct
The mapping VMA address is saved in VAS window struct when the
paste address is mapped. This VMA address is used during migration
to unmap the paste address if the window is active. The paste
address mapping will be removed when the window is closed or with
the munmap(). But the VMA address in the VAS window is not updated
with munmap() which is causing invalid access during migration.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
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.

Driver uses skb_queue_purge() to purge TX skb, but not report tx status
causing "Have pending ack frames!" warning. Use ieee80211_purge_tx_queue()
to correct this.
Since ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() doesn't take locks, to prevent racing
between TX work and purge TX queue, flush and destroy TX work in advance.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Prevent potential deadlocks in zone write plug error recovery
Zone write plugging for handling writes to zones of a zoned block
device always execute a zone report whenever a write BIO to a zone
fails. The intent of this is to ensure that the tracking of a zone write
pointer is always correct to ensure that the alignment to a zone write
pointer of write BIOs can be checked on submission and that we can
always correctly emulate zone append operations using regular write
BIOs.
However, this error recovery scheme introduces a potential deadlock if a
device queue freeze is initiated while BIOs are still plugged in a zone
write plug and one of these write operation fails. In such case, the
disk zone write plug error recovery work is scheduled and executes a
report zone. This in turn can result in a request allocation in the
underlying driver to issue the report zones command to the device. But
with the device queue freeze already started, this allocation will
block, preventing the report zone execution and the continuation of the
processing of the plugged BIOs. As plugged BIOs hold a queue usage
reference, the queue freeze itself will never complete, resulting in a
deadlock.
Avoid this problem by completely removing from the zone write plugging
code the use of report zones operations after a failed write operation,
instead relying on the device user to either execute a report zones,
reset the zone, finish the zone, or give up writing to the device (which
is a fairly common pattern for file systems which degrade to read-only
after write failures). This is not an unreasonnable requirement as all
well-behaved applications, FSes and device mapper already use report
zones to recover from write errors whenever possible by comparing the
current position of a zone write pointer with what their assumption
about the position is.
The changes to remove the automatic error recovery are as follows:
- Completely remove the error recovery work and its associated
resources (zone write plug list head, disk error list, and disk
zone_wplugs_work work struct). This also removes the functions
disk_zone_wplug_set_error() and disk_zone_wplug_clear_error().
- Change the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR zone write plug flag into
BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE. This new flag is set for a zone write
plug whenever a write opration targetting the zone of the zone write
plug fails. This flag indicates that the zone write pointer offset is
not reliable and that it must be updated when the next report zone,
reset zone, finish zone or disk revalidation is executed.
- Modify blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() to set the
BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE flag for the target zone of a failed
write BIO.
- Modify the function disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() to clear this
new flag, thus implementing recovery of a correct write pointer
offset with the reset (all) zone and finish zone operations.
- Modify blkdev_report_zones() to always use the disk_report_zones_cb()
callback so that disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset() can be called for
any zone marked with the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE flag.
This implements recovery of a correct write pointer offset for zone
write plugs marked with BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE and within
the range of the report zones operation executed by the user.
- Modify blk_revalidate_seq_zone() to call
disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset() for all sequential write required
zones when a zoned block device is revalidated, thus always resolving
any inconsistency between the write pointer offset of zone write
plugs and the actual write pointer position of sequential zones.

The warning is triggered as follows:
1) syscall finit_module() handles the module insertion and it invokes
kernel_read_file() to read the content of the module first.
2) kernel_read_file() allocates a 10MB buffer by using vmalloc() and
passes it to kernel_read(). kernel_read() constructs a kvec iter by
using iov_iter_kvec() and passes it to fuse_file_read_iter().
3) virtio-fs disables the cache, so fuse_file_read_iter() invokes
fuse_direct_io(). As for now, the maximal read size for kvec iter is
only limited by fc->max_read. For virtio-fs, max_read is UINT_MAX, so
fuse_direct_io() doesn't split the 10MB buffer. It saves the address and
the size of the 10MB-sized buffer in out_args[0] of a fuse request and
passes the fuse request to virtio_fs_wake_pending_and_unlock().
4) virtio_fs_wake_pending_and_unlock() uses virtio_fs_enqueue_req() to
queue the request. Because virtiofs need DMA-able address, so
virtio_fs_enqueue_req() uses kmalloc() to allocate a bounce buffer for
all fuse args, copies these args into the bounce buffer and passed the
physical address of the bounce buffer to virtiofsd. The total length of
these fuse args for the passed fuse request is about 10MB, so
copy_args_to_argbuf() invokes kmalloc() with a 10MB size parameter and
it triggers the warning in __alloc_pages():
if (WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER, gfp))
return NULL;
5) virtio_fs_enqueue_req() will retry the memory allocation in a
kworker, but it won't help, because kmalloc() will always return NULL
due to the abnormal size and finit_module() will hang forever.
A feasible solution is to limit the value of max_read for virtio-fs, so
the length passed to kmalloc() will be limited. However it will affect
the maximal read size for normal read. And for virtio-fs write initiated
from kernel, it has the similar problem but now there is no way to limit
fc->max_write in kernel.
So instead of limiting both the values of max_read and max_write in
kernel, introducing use_pages_for_kvec_io in fuse_conn and setting it as
true in virtiofs. When use_pages_for_kvec_io is enabled, fuse will use
pages instead of pointer to pass the KVEC_IO data.
After switching to pages for KVEC_IO data, these pages will be used for
DMA through virtio-fs. If these pages are backed by vmalloc(),
{flush|invalidate}_kernel_vmap_range() are necessary to flush or
invalidate the cache before the DMA operation. So add two new fields in
fuse_args_pages to record the base address of vmalloc area and the
condition indicating whether invalidation is needed. Perform the flush
in fuse_get_user_pages() for write operations and the invalidation in
fuse_release_user_pages() for read operations.
It may seem necessary to introduce another fie

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: release svc_expkey/svc_export with rcu_work
The last reference for `cache_head` can be reduced to zero in `c_show`
and `e_show`(using `rcu_read_lock` and `rcu_read_unlock`). Consequently,
`svc_export_put` and `expkey_put` will be invoked, leading to two
issues:
1. The `svc_export_put` will directly free ex_uuid. However,
`e_show`/`c_show` will access `ex_uuid` after `cache_put`, which can
trigger a use-after-free issue, shown below.

Fix these issues by using `rcu_work` to help release
`svc_expkey`/`svc_export`. This approach allows for an asynchronous
context to invoke `path_put` and also facilitates the freeing of
`uuid/exp/key` after an RCU grace period.

The following sequence led to the scenario:
- Userspace creates a VM and a vCPU.
- The vCPU is initialized with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3 during
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
- Without any other setup, such as vGIC or vPMU, userspace issues
KVM_RUN on the vCPU. Since the vPMU is requested, but not setup,
kvm_arm_pmu_v3_enable() fails in kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change().
As a result, KVM_RUN returns after enabling the timer, but before
incrementing 'userspace_irqchip_in_use':
kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change()
ret = kvm_arm_pmu_v3_enable()
if (!vcpu->arch.pmu.created)
return -EINVAL;
if (ret)
return ret;
[...]
if (!irqchip_in_kernel(kvm))
static_branch_inc(&userspace_irqchip_in_use);
- Userspace ignores the error and issues KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT again.
Since the timer is already enabled, control moves through the
following flow, ultimately hitting the WARN_ON():
kvm_timer_vcpu_reset()
if (timer->enabled)
kvm_timer_update_irq()
if (!userspace_irqchip())
ret = kvm_vgic_inject_irq()
ret = vgic_lazy_init()
if (unlikely(!vgic_initialized(kvm)))
if (kvm->arch.vgic.vgic_model !=
KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2)
return -EBUSY;
WARN_ON(ret);
Theoretically, since userspace_irqchip_in_use's functionality can be
simply replaced by '!irqchip_in_kernel()', get rid of the static key
to avoid the mismanagement, which also helps with the syzbot issue.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix NULL ptr deref in crypto_aead_setkey()
Neither SMB3.0 or SMB3.02 supports encryption negotiate context, so
when SMB2_GLOBAL_CAP_ENCRYPTION flag is set in the negotiate response,
the client uses AES-128-CCM as the default cipher. See MS-SMB2
3.3.5.4.
Commit b0abcd65ec54 ("smb: client: fix UAF in async decryption") added
a @server->cipher_type check to conditionally call
smb3_crypto_aead_allocate(), but that check would always be false as
@server->cipher_type is unset for SMB3.02.
Fix the following KASAN splat by setting @server->cipher_type for
SMB3.02 as well.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-53178

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: Don't leak cfid when reconnect races with open_cached_dir
open_cached_dir() may either race with the tcon reconnection even before
compound_send_recv() or directly trigger a reconnection via
SMB2_open_init() or SMB_query_info_init().
The reconnection process invokes invalidate_all_cached_dirs() via
cifs_mark_open_files_invalid(), which removes all cfids from the
cfids->entries list but doesn't drop a ref if has_lease isn't true. This
results in the currently-being-constructed cfid not being on the list,
but still having a refcount of 2. It leaks if returned from
open_cached_dir().
Fix this by setting cfid->has_lease when the ref is actually taken; the
cfid will not be used by other threads until it has a valid time.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: prevent use-after-free due to open_cached_dir error paths
If open_cached_dir() encounters an error parsing the lease from the
server, the error handling may race with receiving a lease break,
resulting in open_cached_dir() freeing the cfid while the queued work is
pending.
Update open_cached_dir() to drop refs rather than directly freeing the
cfid.
Have cached_dir_lease_break(), cfids_laundromat_worker(), and
invalidate_all_cached_dirs() clear has_lease immediately while still
holding cfids->cfid_list_lock, and then use this to also simplify the
reference counting in cfids_laundromat_worker() and
invalidate_all_cached_dirs().
Fixes this KASAN splat (which manually injects an error and lease break
in open_cached_dir()):

nvme-fabrics: fix kernel crash while shutting down controller
The nvme keep-alive operation, which executes at a periodic interval,
could potentially sneak in while shutting down a fabric controller.
This may lead to a race between the fabric controller admin queue
destroy code path (invoked while shutting down controller) and hw/hctx
queue dispatcher called from the nvme keep-alive async request queuing
operation. This race could lead to the kernel crash shown below:

While shutting down fabric controller, if nvme keep-alive request sneaks
in then it would be flushed off. The nvme_keep_alive_end_io function is
then invoked to handle the end of the keep-alive operation which
decrements the admin->q_usage_counter and assuming this is the last/only
request in the admin queue then the admin->q_usage_counter becomes zero.
If that happens then blk-mq destroy queue operation (blk_mq_destroy_
queue()) which could be potentially running simultaneously on another
cpu (as this is the controller shutdown code path) would forward
progress and deletes the admin queue. So, now from this point onward
we are not supposed to access the admin queue resources. However the
issue here's that the nvme keep-alive thread running hw/hctx queue
dispatch operation hasn't yet finished its work and so it could still
potentially access the admin queue resource while the admin queue had
been already deleted and that causes the above crash.
The above kernel crash is regression caused due to changes implemented
in commit a54a93d0e359 ("nvme: move stopping keep-alive into
nvme_uninit_ctrl()"). Ideally we should stop keep-alive before destroyin
g the admin queue and freeing the admin tagset so that it wouldn't sneak
in during the shutdown operation. However we removed the keep alive stop
operation from the beginning of the controller shutdown code path in commit
a54a93d0e359 ("nvme: move stopping keep-alive into nvme_uninit_ctrl()")
and added it under nvme_uninit_ctrl() which executes very late in the
shutdown code path after the admin queue is destroyed and its tagset is
removed. So this change created the possibility of keep-alive sneaking in
and interfering with the shutdown operation and causing observed kernel
crash.
To fix the observed crash, we decided to move nvme_stop_keep_alive() from
nvme_uninit_ctrl() to nvme_remove_admin_tag_set(). This change would ensure
that we don't forward progress and delete the admin queue until the keep-
alive operation is finished (if it's in-flight) or cancelled and that would
help contain the race condition explained above and hence avoid the crash.
Moving nvme_stop_keep_alive() to nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() instead of
adding nvme_stop_keep_alive() to the beginning of the controller shutdown
code path in nvme_stop_ctrl(), as was the case earlier before commit
a54a93d0e359 ("nvme: move stopping keep-alive into nvme_uninit_ctrl()"),
would help save one callsite of nvme_stop_keep_alive().

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: tcp: avoid race between queue_lock lock and destroy
Commit 76d54bf20cdc ("nvme-tcp: don't access released socket during
error recovery") added a mutex_lock() call for the queue->queue_lock
in nvme_tcp_get_address(). However, the mutex_lock() races with
mutex_destroy() in nvme_tcp_free_queue(), and causes the WARN below.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/thp: fix deferred split unqueue naming and locking
Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues:
under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions,
"Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually
don't get to see how badly they end up without). The relevant recent
changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin,
improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting.
Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(),
which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(),
which is what it does. But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm
internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to
check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued,
which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing
callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()).
Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all
of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page()
will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no
longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately).
Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio->memcg_data 0
without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list;
which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg
(when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later,
when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially
corrupting the memcg's list. __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0
here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before
resetting memcg_data.
That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split
shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding
to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to
swapcache. That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim
(though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue
could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split
underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes
swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace.
Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue? Yes: it is
no longer essential, but preserves the existing behaviour, and is likely
to be a worthwhile optimization (vmstat showed much more traffic on the
queue under swapping load if the check was removed); update its comment.
Memcg-v1 move (deprecated): mem_cgroup_move_account() has been changing
folio->memcg_data without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from the
deferred list, sometimes corrupting "from" memcg's list, like swapout.
Refcount is non-zero here, so folio_unqueue_deferred_split() can only be
used in a WARN_ON_ONCE to validate the fix, which must be done earlier:
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() first try to split the THP (splitting
of course unqueues), or skip it if that fails. Not ideal, but moving
charge has been requested, and khugepaged should repair the THP later:
nobody wants new custom unqueueing code just for this deprecated case.
The 87eaceb3faa5 commit did have the code to move from one deferred list
to another (but was not conscious of its unsafety while refcount non-0);
but that was removed by 5.6 commit fac0516b5534 ("mm: thp: don't need care
deferred split queue in memcg charge move path"), which argued that the
existence of a PMD mapping guarantees that the THP cannot be on a deferred
list. As above, false in rare cases, and now commonly false.
Backport to 6.11 should be straightforward. Earlier backports must take
care that other _deferred_list fixes and dependencies are included. There
is not a strong case for backports, but they can fix cornercases.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
resource,kexec: walk_system_ram_res_rev must retain resource flags
walk_system_ram_res_rev() erroneously discards resource flags when passing
the information to the callback.
This causes systems with IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED memory to have
these resources selected during kexec to store kexec buffers if that
memory happens to be at placed above normal system ram.
This leads to undefined behavior after reboot. If the kexec buffer is
never touched, nothing happens. If the kexec buffer is touched, it could
lead to a crash (like below) or undefined behavior.
Tested on a system with CXL memory expanders with driver managed memory,
TPM enabled, and CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC=y. Adding printk's showed the flags
were being discarded and as a result the check for
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED passes.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Don't call cleanup on profile rollback failure
When profile rollback fails in mlx5e_netdev_change_profile, the netdev
profile var is left set to NULL. Avoid a crash when unloading the driver
by not calling profile->cleanup in such a case.
This was encountered while testing, with the original trigger that
the wq rescuer thread creation got interrupted (presumably due to

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Unregister redistributor for failed vCPU creation
Alex reports that syzkaller has managed to trigger a use-after-free when

Upon closer inspection, it appears that we do not properly tear down the
MMIO registration for a vCPU that fails creation late in the game, e.g.
a vCPU w/ the same ID already exists in the VM.
It is important to consider the context of commit that introduced this bug
by moving the unregistration out of __kvm_vgic_vcpu_destroy(). That
change correctly sought to avoid an srcu v. config_lock inversion by
breaking up the vCPU teardown into two parts, one guarded by the
config_lock.
Fix the use-after-free while avoiding lock inversion by adding a
special-cased unregistration to __kvm_vgic_vcpu_destroy(). This is safe
because failed vCPUs are torn down outside of the config_lock.

net/mlx5e: Fix crash caused by calling __xfrm_state_delete() twice
The km.state is not checked in driver's delayed work. When
xfrm_state_check_expire() is called, the state can be reset to
XFRM_STATE_EXPIRED, even if it is XFRM_STATE_DEAD already. This
happens when xfrm state is deleted, but not freed yet. As
__xfrm_state_delete() is called again in xfrm timer, the following
crash occurs.
To fix this issue, skip xfrm_state_check_expire() if km.state is not
XFRM_STATE_VALID.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
l2tp: prevent possible tunnel refcount underflow
When a session is created, it sets a backpointer to its tunnel. When
the session refcount drops to 0, l2tp_session_free drops the tunnel
refcount if session->tunnel is non-NULL. However, session->tunnel is
set in l2tp_session_create, before the tunnel refcount is incremented
by l2tp_session_register, which leaves a small window where
session->tunnel is non-NULL when the tunnel refcount hasn't been
bumped.
Moving the assignment to l2tp_session_register is trivial but
l2tp_session_create calls l2tp_session_set_header_len which uses
session->tunnel to get the tunnel's encap. Add an encap arg to
l2tp_session_set_header_len to avoid using session->tunnel.
If l2tpv3 sessions have colliding IDs, it is possible for
l2tp_v3_session_get to race with l2tp_session_register and fetch a
session which doesn't yet have session->tunnel set. Add a check for
this case.

The bridge mode is only relevant when there are multiple functions per

VFs.
Note that after this change, there are no settings to change on the PF
interface using `bridge link` when there are no VFs, so the interface no
longer appears in the `bridge link` output.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Acquire kvm->srcu when handling KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS
Grab kvm->srcu when processing KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS, as KVM will forcibly
leave nested VMX/SVM if SMM mode is being toggled, and leaving nested VMX
reads guest memory.
Note, kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() can also be called from KVM_RUN
via sync_regs(), which already holds SRCU. I.e. trying to precisely use
kvm_vcpu_srcu_read_lock() around the problematic SMM code would cause
problems. Acquiring SRCU isn't all that expensive, so for simplicity,
grab it unconditionally for KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: Boards: Fix NULL pointer deref in BYT/CHT boards harder
Since commit 13f58267cda3 ("ASoC: soc.h: don't create dummy Component
via COMP_DUMMY()") dummy codecs declared like this:
SND_SOC_DAILINK_DEF(dummy,
DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_DUMMY()));
expand to:
static struct snd_soc_dai_link_component dummy[] = {
};
Which means that dummy is a zero sized array and thus dais[i].codecs should
not be dereferenced *at all* since it points to the address of the next
variable stored in the data section as the "dummy" variable has an address
but no size, so even dereferencing dais[0] is already an out of bounds
array reference.
Which means that the if (dais[i].codecs->name) check added in
commit 7d99a70b6595 ("ASoC: Intel: Boards: Fix NULL pointer deref
in BYT/CHT boards") relies on that the part of the next variable which
the name member maps to just happens to be NULL.
Which apparently so far it usually is, except when it isn't
and then it results in crashes like this one:
[ 28.795659] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000030011

Really fix things this time around by checking dais.num_codecs != 0.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Add netif_device_attach/detach into PF reset flow
Ethtool callbacks can be executed while reset is in progress and try to
access deleted resources, e.g. getting coalesce settings can result in a
NULL pointer dereference seen below.
Reproduction steps:
Once the driver is fully initialized, trigger reset:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/net/<interface>/device/reset
when reset is in progress try to get coalesce settings using ethtool:
# ethtool -c <interface>

Calling netif_device_detach() before reset makes the net core not call
the driver when ethtool command is issued, the attempt to execute an
ethtool command during reset will result in the following message:
netlink error: No such device
instead of NULL pointer dereference. Once reset is done and
ice_rebuild() is executing, the netif_device_attach() is called to allow
for ethtool operations to occur again in a safe manner.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: move netif_queue_set_napi to rtnl-protected sections
Currently, netif_queue_set_napi() is called from ice_vsi_rebuild() that is
not rtnl-locked when called from the reset. This creates the need to take
the rtnl_lock just for a single function and complicates the
synchronization with .ndo_bpf. At the same time, there no actual need to
fill napi-to-queue information at this exact point.
Fill napi-to-queue information when opening the VSI and clear it when the
VSI is being closed. Those routines are already rtnl-locked.
Also, rewrite napi-to-queue assignment in a way that prevents inclusion of
XDP queues, as this leads to out-of-bounds writes, such as one below.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: Do not return unused priv in mwifiex_get_priv_by_id()
mwifiex_get_priv_by_id() returns the priv pointer corresponding to
the bss_num and bss_type, but without checking if the priv is actually
currently in use.
Unused priv pointers do not have a wiphy attached to them which can
lead to NULL pointer dereferences further down the callstack. Fix
this by returning only used priv pointers which have priv->bss_mode
set to something else than NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED.
Said NULL pointer dereference happened when an Accesspoint was started
with wpa_supplicant -i mlan0 with this config:
network={
ssid="somessid"
mode=2
frequency=2412
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256
proto=RSN
group=CCMP
pairwise=CCMP
psk="12345678"
}
When waiting for the AP to be established, interrupting wpa_supplicant
with <ctrl-c> and starting it again this happens:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: amd_sfh: free driver_data after destroying hid device
HID driver callbacks aren't called anymore once hid_destroy_device() has
been called. Hence, hid driver_data should be freed only after the
hid_destroy_device() function returned as driver_data is used in several
callbacks.
I observed a crash with kernel 6.10.0 on my T14s Gen 3, after enabling
KASAN to debug memory allocation, I got this output:

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-46678

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: change ipsec_lock from spin lock to mutex
In the cited commit, bond->ipsec_lock is added to protect ipsec_list,
hence xdo_dev_state_add and xdo_dev_state_delete are called inside
this lock. As ipsec_lock is a spin lock and such xfrmdev ops may sleep,
"scheduling while atomic" will be triggered when changing bond's
active slave.

As bond_ipsec_add_sa_all and bond_ipsec_del_sa_all are only called
from bond_change_active_slave, which requires holding the RTNL lock.
And bond_ipsec_add_sa and bond_ipsec_del_sa are xfrm state
xdo_dev_state_add and xdo_dev_state_delete APIs, which are in user
context. So ipsec_lock doesn't have to be spin lock, change it to
mutex, and thus the above issue can be resolved.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfs: Don't evict inode under the inode lru traversing context
The inode reclaiming process(See function prune_icache_sb) collects all
reclaimable inodes and mark them with I_FREEING flag at first, at that
time, other processes will be stuck if they try getting these inodes
(See function find_inode_fast), then the reclaiming process destroy the
inodes by function dispose_list(). Some filesystems(eg. ext4 with
ea_inode feature, ubifs with xattr) may do inode lookup in the inode
evicting callback function, if the inode lookup is operated under the
inode lru traversing context, deadlock problems may happen.
Case 1: In function ext4_evict_inode(), the ea inode lookup could happen
if ea_inode feature is enabled, the lookup process will be stuck
under the evicting context like this:
1. File A has inode i_reg and an ea inode i_ea
2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // i_ea is added into lru // lru->i_ea
3. Then, following three processes running like this:
PA PB
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
shrink_slab
prune_dcache_sb
// i_reg is added into lru, lru->i_ea->i_reg
prune_icache_sb
list_lru_walk_one
inode_lru_isolate
i_ea->i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
inode_lru_isolate
__iget(i_reg)
spin_unlock(&i_reg->i_lock)
spin_unlock(lru_lock)
rm file A
i_reg->nlink = 0
iput(i_reg) // i_reg->nlink is 0, do evict
ext4_evict_inode
ext4_xattr_delete_inode
ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all
ext4_xattr_inode_iget
ext4_iget(i_ea->i_ino)
iget_locked
find_inode_fast
__wait_on_freeing_inode(i_ea) ----→ AA deadlock
dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
wake_up_bit(&i_ea->i_state)
Case 2: In deleted inode writing function ubifs_jnl_write_inode(), file
deleting process holds BASEHD's wbuf->io_mutex while getting the
xattr inode, which could race with inode reclaiming process(The
reclaiming process could try locking BASEHD's wbuf->io_mutex in
inode evicting function), then an ABBA deadlock problem would
happen as following:
1. File A has inode ia and a xattr(with inode ixa), regular file B has
inode ib and a xattr.
2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // ixa is added into lru // lru->ixa
3. Then, following three processes running like this:
PA PB PC
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
shrink_slab
prune_dcache_sb
// ib and ia are added into lru, lru->ixa->ib->ia
prune_icache_sb
list_lru_walk_one
inode_lru_isolate
ixa->i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
inode_lru_isolate
__iget(ib)
spin_unlock(&ib->i_lock)
spin_unlock(lru_lock)
rm file B
ib->nlink = 0
rm file A
iput(ia)
ubifs_evict_inode(ia)
ubifs_jnl_delete_inode(ia)
ubifs_jnl_write_inode(ia)
make_reservation(BASEHD) // Lock wbuf->io_mutex
ubifs_iget(ixa->i_ino)
iget_locked
find_inode_fast
__wait_on_freeing_inode(ixa)
| iput(ib) // ib->nlink is 0, do evict
| ubifs_evict_inode
| ubifs_jnl_delete_inode(ib)
↓ ubifs_jnl_write_inode
ABBA deadlock ←-----make_reservation(BASEHD)
dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
wake_up_bit(&ixa->i_state)
Fix the possible deadlock by using new inode state flag I_LRU_ISOLATING
to pin the inode in memory while inode_lru_isolate(

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: avoid PMD-size page cache if needed
xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size. the largest and supported
page cache size is defined as MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER by commit 099d90642a71
("mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray"). However,
it's possible to have 512MB page cache in the huge memory's collapsing
path on ARM64 system whose base page size is 64KB. 512MB page cache is
breaking the limitation and a warning is raised when the xarray entry is
split as shown in the following example.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-42241

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/shmem: disable PMD-sized page cache if needed
For shmem files, it's possible that PMD-sized page cache can't be
supported by xarray. For example, 512MB page cache on ARM64 when the base
page size is 64KB can't be supported by xarray. It leads to errors as the
following messages indicate when this sort of xarray entry is split.

Fix it by disabling PMD-sized page cache when HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is larger
than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. As Matthew Wilcox pointed, the page cache in a
shmem file isn't represented by a multi-index entry and doesn't have this
limitation when the xarry entry is split until commit 6b24ca4a1a8d ("mm:
Use multi-index entries in the page cache").

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fail bpf_timer_cancel when callback is being cancelled
Given a schedule:
timer1 cbtimer2 cb
bpf_timer_cancel(timer2);bpf_timer_cancel(timer1);
Both bpf_timer_cancel calls would wait for the other callback to finish
executing, introducing a lockup.
Add an atomic_t count named 'cancelling' in bpf_hrtimer. This keeps
track of all in-flight cancellation requests for a given BPF timer.
Whenever cancelling a BPF timer, we must check if we have outstanding
cancellation requests, and if so, we must fail the operation with an
error (-EDEADLK) since cancellation is synchronous and waits for the
callback to finish executing. This implies that we can enter a deadlock
situation involving two or more timer callbacks executing in parallel
and attempting to cancel one another.
Note that we avoid incrementing the cancelling counter for the target
timer (the one being cancelled) if bpf_timer_cancel is not invoked from
a callback, to avoid spurious errors. The whole point of detecting
cur->cancelling and returning -EDEADLK is to not enter a busy wait loop
(which may or may not lead to a lockup). This does not apply in case the
caller is in a non-callback context, the other side can continue to
cancel as it sees fit without running into errors.
Background on prior attempts:
Earlier versions of this patch used a bool 'cancelling' bit and used the
following pattern under timer->lock to publish cancellation status.
lock(t->lock);
t->cancelling = true;
mb();
if (cur->cancelling)
return -EDEADLK;
unlock(t->lock);
hrtimer_cancel(t->timer);
t->cancelling = false;
The store outside the critical section could overwrite a parallel
requests t->cancelling assignment to true, to ensure the parallely
executing callback observes its cancellation status.
It would be necessary to clear this cancelling bit once hrtimer_cancel
is done, but lack of serialization introduced races. Another option was
explored where bpf_timer_start would clear the bit when (re)starting the
timer under timer->lock. This would ensure serialized access to the
cancelling bit, but may allow it to be cleared before in-flight
hrtimer_cancel has finished executing, such that lockups can occur
again.
Thus, we choose an atomic counter to keep track of all outstanding
cancellation requests and use it to prevent lockups in case callbacks
attempt to cancel each other while executing in parallel.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnx2x: Fix multiple UBSAN array-index-out-of-bounds
Fix UBSAN warnings that occur when using a system with 32 physical
cpu cores or more, or when the user defines a number of Ethernet
queues greater than or equal to FP_SB_MAX_E1x using the num_queues
module parameter.
Currently there is a read/write out of bounds that occurs on the array
"struct stats_query_entry query" present inside the "bnx2x_fw_stats_req"
struct in "drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x.h".
Looking at the definition of the "struct stats_query_entry query" array:
struct stats_query_entry query[FP_SB_MAX_E1x+
BNX2X_FIRST_QUEUE_QUERY_IDX];
FP_SB_MAX_E1x is defined as the maximum number of fast path interrupts and
has a value of 16, while BNX2X_FIRST_QUEUE_QUERY_IDX has a value of 3
meaning the array has a total size of 19.
Since accesses to "struct stats_query_entry query" are offset-ted by
BNX2X_FIRST_QUEUE_QUERY_IDX, that means that the total number of Ethernet
queues should not exceed FP_SB_MAX_E1x (16). However one of these queues
is reserved for FCOE and thus the number of Ethernet queues should be set
to [FP_SB_MAX_E1x -1] (15) if FCOE is enabled or [FP_SB_MAX_E1x] (16) if
it is not.
This is also described in a comment in the source code in
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x.h just above the Macro definition
of FP_SB_MAX_E1x. Below is the part of this explanation that it important
for this patch
/*
* The total number of L2 queues, MSIX vectors and HW contexts (CIDs) is
* control by the number of fast-path status blocks supported by the
* device (HW/FW). Each fast-path status block (FP-SB) aka non-default
* status block represents an independent interrupts context that can
* serve a regular L2 networking queue. However special L2 queues such
* as the FCoE queue do not require a FP-SB and other components like
* the CNIC may consume FP-SB reducing the number of possible L2 queues
*
* If the maximum number of FP-SB available is X then:
* a. If CNIC is supported it consumes 1 FP-SB thus the max number of
* regular L2 queues is Y=X-1
* b. In MF mode the actual number of L2 queues is Y= (X-1/MF_factor)
* c. If the FCoE L2 queue is supported the actual number of L2 queues
* is Y+1
* d. The number of irqs (MSIX vectors) is either Y+1 (one extra for
* slow-path interrupts) or Y+2 if CNIC is supported (one additional
* FP interrupt context for the CNIC).
* e. The number of HW context (CID count) is always X or X+1 if FCoE
* L2 queue is supported. The cid for the FCoE L2 queue is always X.
*/
However this driver also supports NICs that use the E2 controller which can
handle more queues due to having more FP-SB represented by FP_SB_MAX_E2.
Looking at the commits when the E2 support was added, it was originally
using the E1x parameters: commit f2e0899f0f27 ("bnx2x: Add 57712 support").
Back then FP_SB_MAX_E2 was set to 16 the same as E1x. However the driver
was later updated to take full advantage of the E2 instead of having it be
limited to the capabilities of the E1x. But as far as we can tell, the
array "stats_query_entry query" was still limited to using the FP-SB
available to the E1x cards as part of an oversignt when the driver was
updated to take full advantage of the E2, and now with the driver being
aware of the greater queue size supported by E2 NICs, it causes the UBSAN
warnings seen in the stack traces below.
This patch increases the size of the "stats_query_entry query" array by
replacing FP_SB_MAX_E1x with FP_SB_MAX_E2 to be large enough to handle
both types of NICs.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet_diag: Initialize pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2
KMSAN reported uninit-value access in raw_lookup() [1]. Diag for raw
sockets uses the pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for the
underlying protocol. This field corresponds to the sdiag_raw_protocol
field in struct inet_diag_req_raw.
inet_diag_get_exact_compat() converts inet_diag_req to
inet_diag_req_v2, but leaves the pad field uninitialized. So the issue
occurs when raw_lookup() accesses the sdiag_raw_protocol field.
Fix this by initializing the pad field in
inet_diag_get_exact_compat(). Also, do the same fix in
inet_diag_dump_compat() to avoid the similar issue in the future.

ionic: fix kernel panic due to multi-buffer handling
Currently, the ionic_run_xdp() doesn't handle multi-buffer packets
properly for XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT.
When a jumbo frame is received, the ionic_run_xdp() first makes xdp
frame with all necessary pages in the rx descriptor.
And if the action is either XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT, it should unmap
dma-mapping and reset page pointer to NULL for all pages, not only the
first page.
But it doesn't for SG pages. So, SG pages unexpectedly will be reused.
It eventually causes kernel panic.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-41045

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Defer work in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free
Currently, the same case as previous patch (two timer callbacks trying
to cancel each other) can be invoked through bpf_map_update_elem as
well, or more precisely, freeing map elements containing timers. Since
this relies on hrtimer_cancel as well, it is prone to the same deadlock
situation as the previous patch.
It would be sufficient to use hrtimer_try_to_cancel to fix this problem,
as the timer cannot be enqueued after async_cancel_and_free. Once
async_cancel_and_free has been done, the timer must be reinitialized
before it can be armed again. The callback running in parallel trying to
arm the timer will fail, and freeing bpf_hrtimer without waiting is
sufficient (given kfree_rcu), and bpf_timer_cb will return
HRTIMER_NORESTART, preventing the timer from being rearmed again.
However, there exists a UAF scenario where the callback arms the timer
before entering this function, such that if cancellation fails (due to
timer callback invoking this routine, or the target timer callback
running concurrently). In such a case, if the timer expiration is
significantly far in the future, the RCU grace period expiration
happening before it will free the bpf_hrtimer state and along with it
the struct hrtimer, that is enqueued.
Hence, it is clear cancellation needs to occur after
async_cancel_and_free, and yet it cannot be done inline due to deadlock
issues. We thus modify bpf_timer_cancel_and_free to defer work to the
global workqueue, adding a work_struct alongside rcu_head (both used at
_different_ points of time, so can share space).
Update existing code comments to reflect the new state of affairs.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: tlb: Fix TLBI RANGE operand
KVM/arm64 relies on TLBI RANGE feature to flush TLBs when the dirty
pages are collected by VMM and the page table entries become write
protected during live migration. Unfortunately, the operand passed
to the TLBI RANGE instruction isn't correctly sorted out due to the
commit 117940aa6e5f ("KVM: arm64: Define kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_range()").
It leads to crash on the destination VM after live migration because
TLBs aren't flushed completely and some of the dirty pages are missed.
For example, I have a VM where 8GB memory is assigned, starting from
0x40000000 (1GB). Note that the host has 4KB as the base page size.
In the middile of migration, kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_range() is executed
to flush TLBs. It passes MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES as the argument to
__kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_range() and __flush_s2_tlb_range_op(). SCALE#3
and NUM#31, corresponding to MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES, isn't supported
by __TLBI_RANGE_NUM(). In this specific case, -1 has been returned
from __TLBI_RANGE_NUM() for SCALE#3/2/1/0 and rejected by the loop
in the __flush_tlb_range_op() until the variable @scale underflows
and becomes -9, 0xffff708000040000 is set as the operand. The operand
is wrong since it's sorted out by __TLBI_VADDR_RANGE() according to
invalid @scale and @num.
Fix it by extending __TLBI_RANGE_NUM() to support the combination of
SCALE#3 and NUM#31. With the changes, [-1 31] instead of [-1 30] can
be returned from the macro, meaning the TLBs for 0x200000 pages in the
above example can be flushed in one shoot with SCALE#3 and NUM#31. The
macro TLBI_RANGE_MASK is dropped since no one uses it any more. The
comments are also adjusted accordingly.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/efistub: Call mixed mode boot services on the firmware's stack
Normally, the EFI stub calls into the EFI boot services using the stack
that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec,
this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but
all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same
stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice.
In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls
the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit
entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation
of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in
64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using
the decompressor's limited boot stack.
Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any
stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit
5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code")
moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot
stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will
corrupt the end of the .data section.
While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of
the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode
systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base.
So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from
the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot
service call is made.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Fix nfs_netfs_issue_read() xarray locking for writeback interrupt
The loop inside nfs_netfs_issue_read() currently does not disable
interrupts while iterating through pages in the xarray to submit
for NFS read. This is not safe though since after taking xa_lock,
another page in the mapping could be processed for writeback inside
an interrupt, and deadlock can occur. The fix is simple and clean
if we use xa_for_each_range(), which handles the iteration with RCU
while reducing code complexity.
The problem is easily reproduced with the following test:
mount -o vers=3,fsc 127.0.0.1:/export /mnt/nfs
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin bs=4096 count=1
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
dd if=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin of=/dev/null
umount /mnt/nfs
On the console with a lockdep-enabled kernel a message similar to
the following will be seen:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/mmu: x86: Don't overflow lpage_info when checking attributes
Fix KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to not overflow lpage_info array and trigger
KASAN splat, as seen in the private_mem_conversions_test selftest.
When memory attributes are set on a GFN range, that range will have
specific properties applied to the TDP. A huge page cannot be used when
the attributes are inconsistent, so they are disabled for those the
specific huge pages. For internal KVM reasons, huge pages are also not
allowed to span adjacent memslots regardless of whether the backing memory
could be mapped as huge.
What GFNs support which huge page sizes is tracked by an array of arrays
'lpage_info' on the memslot, of ‘kvm_lpage_info’ structs. Each index of
lpage_info contains a vmalloc allocated array of these for a specific
supported page size. The kvm_lpage_info denotes whether a specific huge
page (GFN and page size) on the memslot is supported. These arrays include
indices for unaligned head and tail huge pages.
Preventing huge pages from spanning adjacent memslot is covered by
incrementing the count in head and tail kvm_lpage_info when the memslot is
allocated, but disallowing huge pages for memory that has mixed attributes
has to be done in a more complicated way. During the
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl KVM updates lpage_info for each memslot in
the range that has mismatched attributes. KVM does this a memslot at a
time, and marks a special bit, KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG, in the kvm_lpage_info
for any huge page. This bit is essentially a permanently elevated count.
So huge pages will not be mapped for the GFN at that page size if the
count is elevated in either case: a huge head or tail page unaligned to
the memslot or if KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG is set because it has mixed
attributes.
To determine whether a huge page has consistent attributes, the
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES operation checks an xarray to make sure it
consistently has the incoming attribute. Since level - 1 huge pages are
aligned to level huge pages, it employs an optimization. As long as the
level - 1 huge pages are checked first, it can just check these and assume
that if each level - 1 huge page contained within the level sized huge
page is not mixed, then the level size huge page is not mixed. This
optimization happens in the helper hugepage_has_attrs().
Unfortunately, although the kvm_lpage_info array representing page size
'level' will contain an entry for an unaligned tail page of size level,
the array for level - 1 will not contain an entry for each GFN at page
size level. The level - 1 array will only contain an index for any
unaligned region covered by level - 1 huge page size, which can be a
smaller region. So this causes the optimization to overflow the level - 1
kvm_lpage_info and perform a vmalloc out of bounds read.
In some cases of head and tail pages where an overflow could happen,
callers skip the operation completely as KVM_LPAGE_MIXED_FLAG is not
required to prevent huge pages as discussed earlier. But for memslots that
are smaller than the 1GB page size, it does call hugepage_has_attrs(). In
this case the huge page is both the head and tail page. The issue can be
observed simply by compiling the kernel with CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC and
running the selftest “private_mem_conversions_test”, which produces the
output like the following:
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in hugepage_has_attrs+0x7e/0x110

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-26918

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Fix active state requirement in PME polling
The commit noted in fixes added a bogus requirement that runtime PM managed
devices need to be in the RPM_ACTIVE state for PME polling. In fact, only
devices in low power states should be polled.
However there's still a requirement that the device config space must be
accessible, which has implications for both the current state of the polled
device and the parent bridge, when present. It's not sufficient to assume
the bridge remains in D0 and cases have been observed where the bridge
passes the D0 test, but the PM state indicates RPM_SUSPENDING and config
space of the polled device becomes inaccessible during pci_pme_wakeup().
Therefore, since the bridge is already effectively required to be in the
RPM_ACTIVE state, formalize this in the code and elevate the PM usage count
to maintain the state while polling the subordinate device.
This resolves a regression reported in the bugzilla below where a
Thunderbolt/USB4 hierarchy fails to scan for an attached NVMe endpoint
downstream of a bridge in a D3hot power state.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: detect stuck ECSA element in probe resp
We recently added some validation that we don't try to
connect to an AP that is currently in a channel switch
process, since that might want the channel to be quiet
or we might not be able to connect in time to hear the
switching in a beacon. This was in commit c09c4f31998b
("wifi: mac80211: don't connect to an AP while it's in
a CSA process").
However, we promptly got a report that this caused new
connection failures, and it turns out that the AP that
we now cannot connect to is permanently advertising an
extended channel switch announcement, even with quiet.
The AP in question was an Asus RT-AC53, with firmware
3.0.0.4.380_10760-g21a5898.
As a first step, attempt to detect that we're dealing
with such a situation, so mac80211 can use this later.

For GETFSMAP calls, the caller selects a physical block device by
writing its block number into fsmap_head.fmh_keys[01].fmr_device.
To query mappings for a subrange of the device, the starting byte of the
range is written to fsmap_head.fmh_keys[0].fmr_physical and the last
byte of the range goes in fsmap_head.fmh_keys[1].fmr_physical.
IOWs, to query what mappings overlap with bytes 3-14 of /dev/sda, you'd
set the inputs as follows:
fmh_keys[0] = { .fmr_device = major(8, 0), .fmr_physical = 3},
fmh_keys[1] = { .fmr_device = major(8, 0), .fmr_physical = 14},
Which would return you whatever is mapped in the 12 bytes starting at
physical offset 3.
The crash is due to insufficient range validation of keys[1] in
ext4_getfsmap_datadev. On 1k-block filesystems, block 0 is not part of
the filesystem, which means that s_first_data_block is nonzero.
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset subtracts this quantity from the blocknr
argument before cracking it into a group number and a block number
within a group. IOWs, block group 0 spans blocks 1-8192 (1-based)
instead of 0-8191 (0-based) like what happens with larger blocksizes.
The net result of this encoding is that blocknr < s_first_data_block is
not a valid input to this function. The end_fsb variable is set from
the keys that are copied from userspace, which means that in the above
example, its value is zero. That leads to an underflow here:
blocknr = blocknr - le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block);
The division then operates on -1:
offset = do_div(blocknr, EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)) >>
EXT4_SB(sb)->s_cluster_bits;
Leaving an impossibly large group number (2^32-1) in blocknr.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: copy last block omitted in ice_get_module_eeprom()
ice_get_module_eeprom() is broken since commit e9c9692c8a81 ("ice:
Reimplement module reads used by ethtool") In this refactor,
ice_get_module_eeprom() reads the eeprom in blocks of size 8.
But the condition that should protect the buffer overflow
ignores the last block. The last block always contains zeros.
Bug uncovered by ethtool upstream commit 9538f384b535
("netlink: eeprom: Defer page requests to individual parsers")
After this commit, ethtool reads a block with length = 1;
to read the SFF-8024 identifier value.

case. Therefore, in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser(), if the length is 0, directly
return. Also modify several other functions with the same problem.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: s390: Fix use-after-free of PCI resources with per-function hotplug
On s390 PCI functions may be hotplugged individually even when they
belong to a multi-function device. In particular on an SR-IOV device VFs
may be removed and later re-added.
In commit a50297cf8235 ("s390/pci: separate zbus creation from
scanning") it was missed however that struct pci_bus and struct
zpci_bus's resource list retained a reference to the PCI functions MMIO
resources even though those resources are released and freed on
hot-unplug. These stale resources may subsequently be claimed when the
PCI function re-appears resulting in use-after-free.
One idea of fixing this use-after-free in s390 specific code that was
investigated was to simply keep resources around from the moment a PCI
function first appeared until the whole virtual PCI bus created for
a multi-function device disappears. The problem with this however is
that due to the requirement of artificial MMIO addreesses (address
cookies) extra logic is then needed to keep the address cookies
compatible on re-plug. At the same time the MMIO resources semantically
belong to the PCI function so tying their lifecycle to the function
seems more logical.
Instead a simpler approach is to remove the resources of an individually
hot-unplugged PCI function from the PCI bus's resource list while
keeping the resources of other PCI functions on the PCI bus untouched.
This is done by introducing pci_bus_remove_resource() to remove an
individual resource. Similarly the resource also needs to be removed
from the struct zpci_bus's resource list. It turns out however, that
there is really no need to add the MMIO resources to the struct
zpci_bus's resource list at all and instead we can simply use the
zpci_bar_struct's resource pointer directly.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tunnels: annotate lockless accesses to dev->needed_headroom
IP tunnels can apparently update dev->needed_headroom
in their xmit path.
This patch takes care of three tunnels xmit, and also the
core LL_RESERVED_SPACE() and LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EXTRA()
helpers.
More changes might be needed for completeness.

==================================================================
The problem is that the inode contains an xattr entry with ea_inum of 15
when cleaning up an orphan inode <15>. When evict inode <15>, the reference
counting of the corresponding EA inode is decreased. When EA inode <15> is
found by find_inode_fast() in __ext4_iget(), it is found that the EA inode
holds the I_FREEING flag and waits for the EA inode to complete deletion.
As a result, when inode <15> is being deleted, we wait for inode <15> to
complete the deletion, resulting in an infinite loop and triggering Hung
Task. To solve this problem, we only need to check whether the ino of EA
inode and parent is the same before getting EA inode.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/active: Fix misuse of non-idle barriers as fence trackers
Users reported oopses on list corruptions when using i915 perf with a
number of concurrently running graphics applications. Root cause analysis
pointed at an issue in barrier processing code -- a race among perf open /
close replacing active barriers with perf requests on kernel context and
concurrent barrier preallocate / acquire operations performed during user
context first pin / last unpin.
When adding a request to a composite tracker, we try to reuse an existing
fence tracker, already allocated and registered with that composite. The
tracker we obtain may already track another fence, may be an idle barrier,
or an active barrier.
If the tracker we get occurs a non-idle barrier then we try to delete that
barrier from a list of barrier tasks it belongs to. However, while doing
that we don't respect return value from a function that performs the
barrier deletion. Should the deletion ever fail, we would end up reusing
the tracker still registered as a barrier task. Since the same structure
field is reused with both fence callback lists and barrier tasks list,
list corruptions would likely occur.
Barriers are now deleted from a barrier tasks list by temporarily removing
the list content, traversing that content with skip over the node to be
deleted, then populating the list back with the modified content. Should
that intentionally racy concurrent deletion attempts be not serialized,
one or more of those may fail because of the list being temporary empty.
Related code that ignores the results of barrier deletion was initially
introduced in v5.4 by commit d8af05ff38ae ("drm/i915: Allow sharing the
idle-barrier from other kernel requests"). However, all users of the
barrier deletion routine were apparently serialized at that time, then the
issue didn't exhibit itself. Results of git bisect with help of a newly
developed igt@gem_barrier_race@remote-request IGT test indicate that list
corruptions might start to appear after commit 311770173fac ("drm/i915/gt:
Schedule request retirement when timeline idles"), introduced in v5.5.
Respect results of barrier deletion attempts -- mark the barrier as idle
only if successfully deleted from the list. Then, before proceeding with
setting our fence as the one currently tracked, make sure that the tracker
we've got is not a non-idle barrier. If that check fails then don't use
that tracker but go back and try to acquire a new, usable one.
v3: use unlikely() to document what outcome we expect (Andi),
- fix bad grammar in commit description.
v2: no code changes,
- blame commit 311770173fac ("drm/i915/gt: Schedule request retirement
when timeline idles"), v5.5, not commit d8af05ff38ae ("drm/i915: Allow
sharing the idle-barrier from other kernel requests"), v5.4,
- reword commit description.

Security Advisory: CVE-2023-53048

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: fix warning when handle discover_identity message
Since both source and sink device can send discover_identity message in

For this case, the state machine could still send out discover

So we should handle the received message firstly and override the pending
discover_identity message without warning in this case. Then, a delayed
send_discover work will send discover_identity message again.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: support non-r10 register spill/fill to/from stack in precision tracking
Use instruction (jump) history to record instructions that performed
register spill/fill to/from stack, regardless if this was done through
read-only r10 register, or any other register after copying r10 into it
*and* potentially adjusting offset.
To make this work reliably, we push extra per-instruction flags into
instruction history, encoding stack slot index (spi) and stack frame
number in extra 10 bit flags we take away from prev_idx in instruction
history. We don't touch idx field for maximum performance, as it's
checked most frequently during backtracking.
This change removes basically the last remaining practical limitation of
precision backtracking logic in BPF verifier. It fixes known
deficiencies, but also opens up new opportunities to reduce number of
verified states, explored in the subsequent patches.
There are only three differences in selftests' BPF object files
according to veristat, all in the positive direction (less states).
File Program Insns (A) Insns (B) Insns (DIFF) States (A) States (B) States (DIFF)
-------------------------------------- ------------- --------- --------- ------------- ---------- ---------- -------------
test_cls_redirect_dynptr.bpf.linked3.o cls_redirect 2987 2864 -123 (-4.12%) 240 231 -9 (-3.75%)
xdp_synproxy_kern.bpf.linked3.o syncookie_tc 82848 82661 -187 (-0.23%) 5107 5073 -34 (-0.67%)
xdp_synproxy_kern.bpf.linked3.o syncookie_xdp 85116 84964 -152 (-0.18%) 5162 5130 -32 (-0.62%)
Note, I avoided renaming jmp_history to more generic insn_hist to
minimize number of lines changed and potential merge conflicts between
bpf and bpf-next trees.
Notice also cur_hist_entry pointer reset to NULL at the beginning of
instruction verification loop. This pointer avoids the problem of
relying on last jump history entry's insn_idx to determine whether we
already have entry for current instruction or not. It can happen that we
added jump history entry because current instruction is_jmp_point(), but
also we need to add instruction flags for stack access. In this case, we
don't want to entries, so we need to reuse last added entry, if it is
present.
Relying on insn_idx comparison has the same ambiguity problem as the one
that was fixed recently in [0], so we avoid that.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/iova: Fix alloc iova overflows issue
In __alloc_and_insert_iova_range, there is an issue that retry_pfn
overflows. The value of iovad->anchor.pfn_hi is ~0UL, then when
iovad->cached_node is iovad->anchor, curr_iova->pfn_hi + 1 will
overflow. As a result, if the retry logic is executed, low_pfn is
updated to 0, and then new_pfn < low_pfn returns false to make the
allocation successful.
This issue occurs in the following two situations:
1. The first iova size exceeds the domain size. When initializing
iova domain, iovad->cached_node is assigned as iovad->anchor. For
example, the iova domain size is 10M, start_pfn is 0x1_F000_0000,
and the iova size allocated for the first time is 11M. The
following is the log information, new->pfn_lo is smaller than
iovad->cached_node.
Example log as follows:
[ 223.798112][T1705487] sh: [name:iova&]__alloc_and_insert_iova_range
start_pfn:0x1f0000,retry_pfn:0x0,size:0xb00,limit_pfn:0x1f0a00
[ 223.799590][T1705487] sh: [name:iova&]__alloc_and_insert_iova_range
success start_pfn:0x1f0000,new->pfn_lo:0x1efe00,new->pfn_hi:0x1f08ff
2. The node with the largest iova->pfn_lo value in the iova domain
is deleted, iovad->cached_node will be updated to iovad->anchor,
and then the alloc iova size exceeds the maximum iova size that can
be allocated in the domain.
After judging that retry_pfn is less than limit_pfn, call retry_pfn+1
to fix the overflow issue.

nfsd: fix handling of cached open files in nfsd4_open codepath
Commit fb70bf124b05 ("NFSD: Instantiate a struct file when creating a
regular NFSv4 file") added the ability to cache an open fd over a
compound. There are a couple of problems with the way this currently
works:
It's racy, as a newly-created nfsd_file can end up with its PENDING bit
cleared while the nf is hashed, and the nf_file pointer is still zeroed
out. Other tasks can find it in this state and they expect to see a
valid nf_file, and can oops if nf_file is NULL.
Also, there is no guarantee that we'll end up creating a new nfsd_file
if one is already in the hash. If an extant entry is in the hash with a
valid nf_file, nfs4_get_vfs_file will clobber its nf_file pointer with
the value of op_file and the old nf_file will leak.
Fix both issues by making a new nfsd_file_acquirei_opened variant that
takes an optional file pointer. If one is present when this is called,
we'll take a new reference to it instead of trying to open the file. If
the nfsd_file already has a valid nf_file, we'll just ignore the
optional file and pass the nfsd_file back as-is.
Also rework the tracepoints a bit to allow for an "opened" variant and
don't try to avoid counting acquisitions in the case where we already
have a cached open file.

net/sched: act_mpls: Fix warning during failed attribute validation
The 'TCA_MPLS_LABEL' attribute is of 'NLA_U32' type, but has a
validation type of 'NLA_VALIDATE_FUNCTION'. This is an invalid
combination according to the comment above 'struct nla_policy':
"
Meaning of `validate' field, use via NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN:
NLA_BINARY Validation function called for the attribute.
All other Unused - but note that it's a union
"
This can trigger the warning [1] in nla_get_range_unsigned() when
validation of the attribute fails. Despite being of 'NLA_U32' type, the
associated 'min'/'max' fields in the policy are negative as they are
aliased by the 'validate' field.
Fix by changing the attribute type to 'NLA_BINARY' which is consistent
with the above comment and all other users of NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN().
As a result, move the length validation to the validation function.
No regressions in MPLS tests:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
padata: Fix refcnt handling in padata_free_shell()
In a high-load arm64 environment, the pcrypt_aead01 test in LTP can lead
to system UAF (Use-After-Free) issues. Due to the lengthy analysis of
the pcrypt_aead01 function call, I'll describe the problem scenario
using a simplified model:
Suppose there's a user of padata named `user_function` that adheres to
the padata requirement of calling `padata_free_shell` after `serial()`
has been invoked, as demonstrated in the following code:
```c
struct request {
struct padata_priv padata;
struct completion *done;
};
void parallel(struct padata_priv *padata) {
do_something();
}
void serial(struct padata_priv *padata) {
struct request *request = container_of(padata,
struct request,
padata);
complete(request->done);
}
void user_function() {
DECLARE_COMPLETION(done)
padata->parallel = parallel;
padata->serial = serial;
padata_do_parallel();
wait_for_completion(&done);
padata_free_shell();
}
```
In the corresponding padata.c file, there's the following code:
```c
static void padata_serial_worker(struct work_struct *serial_work) {
...
cnt = 0;
while (!list_empty(&local_list)) {
...
padata->serial(padata);
cnt++;
}
local_bh_enable();
if (refcount_sub_and_test(cnt, &pd->refcnt))
padata_free_pd(pd);
}
```
Because of the high system load and the accumulation of unexecuted
softirq at this moment, `local_bh_enable()` in padata takes longer
to execute than usual. Subsequently, when accessing `pd->refcnt`,
`pd` has already been released by `padata_free_shell()`, resulting
in a UAF issue with `pd->refcnt`.
The fix is straightforward: add `refcount_dec_and_test` before calling
`padata_free_pd` in `padata_free_shell`.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix racy may inline data check in dio write
syzbot reports that the following warning from ext4_iomap_begin()
triggers as of the commit referenced below:
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(ext4_has_inline_data(inode)))
return -ERANGE;
This occurs during a dio write, which is never expected to encounter
an inode with inline data. To enforce this behavior,
ext4_dio_write_iter() checks the current inline state of the inode
and clears the MAY_INLINE_DATA state flag to either fall back to
buffered writes, or enforce that any other writers in progress on
the inode are not allowed to create inline data.
The problem is that the check for existing inline data and the state
flag can span a lock cycle. For example, if the ilock is originally
locked shared and subsequently upgraded to exclusive, another writer
may have reacquired the lock and created inline data before the dio
write task acquires the lock and proceeds.
The commit referenced below loosens the lock requirements to allow
some forms of unaligned dio writes to occur under shared lock, but
AFAICT the inline data check was technically already racy for any
dio write that would have involved a lock cycle. Regardless, lift
clearing of the state bit to the same lock critical section that
checks for preexisting inline data on the inode to close the race.

Sometimes, it would also show up as corruption in the free list pointer

After bisecting the issue, we found the issue started from commit
e320d3012d25 ("mm/page_alloc.c: fix freeing non-compound pages"):
if (put_page_testzero(page))
free_the_page(page, order);
else if (!PageHead(page))
while (order-- > 0)
free_the_page(page + (1 << order), order);
So the problem is the check PageHead is racy because at this point we
already dropped our reference to the page. So even if we came in with
compound page, the page can already be freed and PageHead can return
false and we will end up freeing all the tail pages causing double free.

Security Advisory: CVE-2023-52568

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/sgx: Resolves SECS reclaim vs. page fault for EAUG race
The SGX EPC reclaimer (ksgxd) may reclaim the SECS EPC page for an
enclave and set secs.epc_page to NULL. The SECS page is used for EAUG
and ELDU in the SGX page fault handler. However, the NULL check for
secs.epc_page is only done for ELDU, not EAUG before being used.
Fix this by doing the same NULL check and reloading of the SECS page as
needed for both EAUG and ELDU.
The SECS page holds global enclave metadata. It can only be reclaimed
when there are no other enclave pages remaining. At that point,
virtually nothing can be done with the enclave until the SECS page is
paged back in.
An enclave can not run nor generate page faults without a resident SECS
page. But it is still possible for a #PF for a non-SECS page to race
with paging out the SECS page: when the last resident non-SECS page A
triggers a #PF in a non-resident page B, and then page A and the SECS
both are paged out before the #PF on B is handled.
Hitting this bug requires that race triggered with a #PF for EAUG.
Following is a trace when it happens.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix peer flow lists handling
The cited change refactored mlx5e_tc_del_fdb_peer_flow() to only clear DUP
flag when list of peer flows has become empty. However, if any concurrent
user holds a reference to a peer flow (for example, the neighbor update
workqueue task is updating peer flow's parent encap entry concurrently),
then the flow will not be removed from the peer list and, consecutively,
DUP flag will remain set. Since mlx5e_tc_del_fdb_peers_flow() calls
mlx5e_tc_del_fdb_peer_flow() for every possible peer index the algorithm
will try to remove the flow from eswitch instances that it has never peered
with causing either NULL pointer dereference when trying to remove the flow
peer list head of peer_index that was never initialized or a warning if the
list debug config is enabled[0].
Fix the issue by always removing the peer flow from the list even when not
releasing the last reference to it.

The root cause of the bug sits in neon_poly1305_blocks. The logic
neon_poly1305_blocks() performed is that if it was called with both s[]
and r[] uninitialized, it will first try to initialize them with the
data from the first "block" that it believed to be 32 bytes in length.
First 16 bytes are used as the key and the next 16 bytes for s[]. This
would lead to the aforementioned read out-of-bound. However, after
calling poly1305_init_arch(), only 16 bytes were deducted from the input
and s[] is initialized yet again with the following 16 bytes. The second
initialization of s[] is certainly redundent which indicates that the
first initialization should be for r[] only.
This patch fixes the issue by calling poly1305_init_arm64() instead o

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/mmu: Treat NX as a valid SPTE bit for NPT
Treat the NX bit as valid when using NPT, as KVM will set the NX bit when
the NX huge page mitigation is enabled (mindblowing) and trigger the WARN
that fires on reserved SPTE bits being set.
KVM has required NX support for SVM since commit b26a71a1a5b9 ("KVM: SVM:
Refuse to load kvm_amd if NX support is not available") for exactly this
reason, but apparently it never occurred to anyone to actually test NPT
with the mitigation enabled.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbnet: Fix linkwatch use-after-free on disconnect
usbnet uses the work usbnet_deferred_kevent() to perform tasks which may
sleep. On disconnect, completion of the work was originally awaited in
->ndo_stop(). But in 2003, that was moved to ->disconnect() by historic
commit "[PATCH] USB: usbnet, prevent exotic rtnl deadlock":
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/0f138bbfd83c
The change was made because back then, the kernel's workqueue
implementation did not allow waiting for a single work. One had to wait
for completion of *all* work by calling flush_scheduled_work(), and that
could deadlock when waiting for usbnet_deferred_kevent() with rtnl_mutex
held in ->ndo_stop().
The commit solved one problem but created another: It causes a
use-after-free in USB Ethernet drivers aqc111.c, asix_devices.c,
ax88179_178a.c, ch9200.c and smsc75xx.c:
* If the drivers receive a link change interrupt immediately before
disconnect, they raise EVENT_LINK_RESET in their (non-sleepable)
->status() callback and schedule usbnet_deferred_kevent().
* usbnet_deferred_kevent() invokes the driver's ->link_reset() callback,
which calls netif_carrier_{on,off}().
* That in turn schedules the work linkwatch_event().
Because usbnet_deferred_kevent() is awaited after unregister_netdev(),
netif_carrier_{on,off}() may operate on an unregistered netdev and
linkwatch_event() may run after free_netdev(), causing a use-after-free.
In 2010, usbnet was changed to only wait for a single instance of
usbnet_deferred_kevent() instead of *all* work by commit 23f333a2bfaf
("drivers/net: don't use flush_scheduled_work()").
Unfortunately the commit neglected to move the wait back to
->ndo_stop(). Rectify that omission at long last.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix KASAN use-after-free Read in compute_effective_progs
Syzbot found a Use After Free bug in compute_effective_progs().
The reproducer creates a number of BPF links, and causes a fault
injected alloc to fail, while calling bpf_link_detach on them.
Link detach triggers the link to be freed by bpf_link_free(),
which calls __cgroup_bpf_detach() and update_effective_progs().
If the memory allocation in this function fails, the function restores
the pointer to the bpf_cgroup_link on the cgroup list, but the memory
gets freed just after it returns. After this, every subsequent call to
update_effective_progs() causes this already deallocated pointer to be
dereferenced in prog_list_length(), and triggers KASAN UAF error.
To fix this issue don't preserve the pointer to the prog or link in the
list, but remove it and replace it with a dummy prog without shrinking
the table. The subsequent call to __cgroup_bpf_detach() or
__cgroup_bpf_detach() will correct it.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
coresight: Clear the connection field properly
coresight devices track their connections (output connections) and
hold a reference to the fwnode. When a device goes away, we walk through
the devices on the coresight bus and make sure that the references
are dropped. This happens both ways:
a) For all output connections from the device, drop the reference to
the target device via coresight_release_platform_data()
b) Iterate over all the devices on the coresight bus and drop the
reference to fwnode if *this* device is the target of the output
connection, via coresight_remove_conns()->coresight_remove_match().
However, the coresight_remove_match() doesn't clear the fwnode field,
after dropping the reference, this causes use-after-free and
additional refcount drops on the fwnode.
e.g., if we have two devices, A and B, with a connection, A -> B.
If we remove B first, B would clear the reference on B, from A
via coresight_remove_match(). But when A is removed, it still has
a connection with fwnode still pointing to B. Thus it tries to drops
the reference in coresight_release_platform_data(), raising the bells
like :

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: hibernate: defer device probing when resuming from hibernation
syzbot is reporting hung task at misc_open() [1], for there is a race
window of AB-BA deadlock which involves probe_count variable. Currently
wait_for_device_probe() from snapshot_open() from misc_open() can sleep
forever with misc_mtx held if probe_count cannot become 0.
When a device is probed by hub_event() work function, probe_count is
incremented before the probe function starts, and probe_count is
decremented after the probe function completed.
There are three cases that can prevent probe_count from dropping to 0.
(a) A device being probed stopped responding (i.e. broken/malicious
hardware).
(b) A process emulating a USB device using /dev/raw-gadget interface
stopped responding for some reason.
(c) New device probe requests keeps coming in before existing device
probe requests complete.
The phenomenon syzbot is reporting is (b). A process which is holding
system_transition_mutex and misc_mtx is waiting for probe_count to become
0 inside wait_for_device_probe(), but the probe function which is called
from hub_event() work function is waiting for the processes which are
blocked at mutex_lock(&misc_mtx) to respond via /dev/raw-gadget interface.
This patch mitigates (b) by deferring wait_for_device_probe() from
snapshot_open() to snapshot_write() and snapshot_ioctl(). Please note that
the possibility of (b) remains as long as any thread which is emulating a
USB device via /dev/raw-gadget interface can be blocked by uninterruptible
blocking operations (e.g. mutex_lock()).
Please also note that (a) and (c) are not addressed. Regarding (c), we
should change the code to wait for only one device which contains the
image for resuming from hibernation. I don't know how to address (a), for
use of timeout for wait_for_device_probe() might result in loss of user
data in the image. Maybe we should require the userland to wait for the
image device before opening /dev/snapshot interface.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: wake up all waiters after z_erofs_lzma_head ready
When the user mounts the erofs second times, the decompression thread
may hung. The problem happens due to a sequence of steps like the
following:
1) Task A called z_erofs_load_lzma_config which obtain all of the node
from the z_erofs_lzma_head.
2) At this time, task B called the z_erofs_lzma_decompress and wanted to
get a node. But the z_erofs_lzma_head was empty, the Task B had to
sleep.
3) Task A release nodes and push nodes into the z_erofs_lzma_head. But
task B was still sleeping.
One example report when the hung happens:

Make sure to allocate resources needed before registering the device.
This specifically avoids having a racing open() trigger a BUG_ON() in

mon_reap_timer as been set up.
I did not see this issue with next-20220310, but I hit it on every probe

When getting device stats from bond, kernel will call bond_get_stats().
It first holds the spinlock bond->stats_lock, and then call
hinic_get_stats64() to collect hinic device's stats.
However, hinic_get_stats64() calls `down(&nic_dev->mgmt_lock)` to
protect its critical section, which may schedule current task out.
And if system is under high pressure, the task cannot be woken up
immediately, which eventually triggers kernel hung panic.
Since previous patch has replaced hinic_dev.tx_stats/rx_stats with local
variable in hinic_get_stats64(), there is nothing need to be protected
by lock, so just removing down()/up() is ok.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-50149

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix potential deadlock in __driver_attach
In __driver_attach function, There are also AA deadlock problem,
like the commit b232b02bf3c2 ("driver core: fix deadlock in
__device_attach").
stack like commit b232b02bf3c2 ("driver core: fix deadlock in
__device_attach").
list below:
In __driver_attach function, The lock holding logic is as follows:
...
__driver_attach
if (driver_allows_async_probing(drv))
device_lock(dev) // get lock dev
async_schedule_dev(__driver_attach_async_helper, dev); // func
async_schedule_node
async_schedule_node_domain(func)
entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct async_entry), GFP_ATOMIC);
/* when fail or work limit, sync to execute func, but
__driver_attach_async_helper will get lock dev as
will, which will lead to A-A deadlock. */
if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK) {
func;
else
queue_work_node(node, system_unbound_wq, &entry->work)
device_unlock(dev)
As above show, when it is allowed to do async probes, because of
out of memory or work limit, async work is not be allowed, to do
sync execute instead. it will lead to A-A deadlock because of
__driver_attach_async_helper getting lock dev.
Reproduce:
and it can be reproduce by make the condition
(if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK)) untenable, like
below:

To fix the deadlock, move the async_schedule_dev outside device_lock,
as we can see, in async_schedule_node_domain, the parameter of
queue_work_node is system_unbound_wq, so it can accept concurrent
operations. which will also not change the code logic, and will
not lead to deadlock.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: revisit driver bind/unbind and callbacks
In the SoundWire probe, we store a pointer from the driver ops into
the 'slave' structure. This can lead to kernel oopses when unbinding
codec drivers, e.g. with the following sequence to remove machine
driver and codec driver.
/sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_sof_sdw
/sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_rt711
The full details can be found in the BugLink below, for reference the
two following examples show different cases of driver ops/callbacks
being invoked after the driver .remove().

This was not detected earlier in Intel tests since the tests first
remove the parent PCI device and shut down the bus. The sequence
above is a corner case which keeps the bus operational but without a
driver bound.
While trying to solve this kernel oopses, it became clear that the
existing SoundWire bus does not deal well with the unbind case.
Commit 528be501b7d4a ("soundwire: sdw_slave: add probe_complete structure and new fields")
added a 'probed' status variable and a 'probe_complete'
struct completion. This status is however not reset on remove and
likewise the 'probe complete' is not re-initialized, so the
bind/unbind/bind test cases would fail. The timeout used before the
'update_status' callback was also a bad idea in hindsight, there
should really be no timing assumption as to if and when a driver is
bound to a device.
An initial draft was based on device_lock() and device_unlock() was
tested. This proved too complicated, with deadlocks created during the
suspend-resume sequences, which also use the same device_lock/unlock()
as the bind/unbind sequences. On a CometLake device, a bad DSDT/BIOS
caused spurious resumes and the use of device_lock() caused hangs
during suspend. After multiple weeks or testing and painful
reverse-engineering of deadlocks on different devices, we looked for
alternatives that did not interfere with the device core.
A bus notifier was used successfully to keep track of DRIVER_BOUND and
DRIVER_UNBIND events. This solved the bind-unbind-bind case in tests,
but it can still be defeated with a theoretical corner case where the
memory is freed by a .remove while the callback is in use. The
notifier only helps make sure the driver callbacks are valid, but not
that the memory allocated in probe remains valid while the callbacks
are invoked.
This patch suggests the introduction of a new 'sdw_dev_lock' mutex
protecting probe/remove and all driver callbacks. Since this mutex is
'local' to SoundWire only, it does not interfere with existing locks
and does not create deadlocks. In addition, this patch removes the
'probe_complete' completion, instead we directly invoke the
'update_status' from the probe routine. That removes any sort of
timing dependency and a much better support for the device/driver
model, the driver could be bound before the bus started, or eons after
the bus started and the hardware would be properly initialized in all
cases.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Fix a use-after-free
Change the LIO port members inside struct srpt_port from regular members
into pointers. Allocate the LIO port data structures from inside
srpt_make_tport() and free these from inside srpt_make_tport(). Keep
struct srpt_device as long as either an RDMA port or a LIO target port is
associated with it. This patch decouples the lifetime of struct srpt_port
(controlled by the RDMA core) and struct srpt_port_id (controlled by LIO).
This patch fixes the following KASAN complaint:

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/perf: Optimize clearing the pending PMI and remove WARN_ON for PMI check in power_pmu_disable
commit 2c9ac51b850d ("powerpc/perf: Fix PMU callbacks to clear
pending PMI before resetting an overflown PMC") added a new
function "pmi_irq_pending" in hw_irq.h. This function is to check
if there is a PMI marked as pending in Paca (PACA_IRQ_PMI).This is
used in power_pmu_disable in a WARN_ON. The intention here is to
provide a warning if there is PMI pending, but no counter is found
overflown.
During some of the perf runs, below warning is hit:

This means that there is no PMC overflown among the active events
in the PMU, but there is a PMU pending in Paca. The function
"any_pmc_overflown" checks the PMCs on active events in
cpuhw->n_events. Code snippet:
<<>>
if (any_pmc_overflown(cpuhw))
clear_pmi_irq_pending();
else
WARN_ON(pmi_irq_pending());
<<>>
Here the PMC overflown is not from active event. Example: When we do
perf record, default cycles and instructions will be running on PMC6
and PMC5 respectively. It could happen that overflowed event is currently
not active and pending PMI is for the inactive event. Debug logs from
trace_printk:
<<>>
any_pmc_overflown: idx is 5: pmc value is 0xd9a
power_pmu_disable: PMC1: 0x0, PMC2: 0x0, PMC3: 0x0, PMC4: 0x0, PMC5: 0xd9a, PMC6: 0x80002011
<<>>
Here active PMC (from idx) is PMC5 , but overflown PMC is PMC6(0x80002011).
When we handle PMI interrupt for such cases, if the PMC overflown is
from inactive event, it will be ignored. Reference commit:
commit bc09c219b2e6 ("powerpc/perf: Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt")
Patch addresses two changes:
1) Fix 1 : Removal of warning ( WARN_ON(pmi_irq_pending()); )
We were printing warning if no PMC is found overflown among active PMU
events, but PMI pending in PACA. But this could happen in cases where
PMC overflown is not in active PMC. An inactive event could have caused
the overflow. Hence the warning is not needed. To know pending PMI is
from an inactive event, we need to loop through all PMC's which will
cause more SPR reads via mfspr and increase in context switch. Also in
existing function: perf_event_interrupt, already we ignore PMI's
overflown when it is from an inactive PMC.
2) Fix 2: optimization in clearing pending PMI.
Currently we check for any active PMC overflown before clearing PMI
pending in Paca. This is causing additional SP

tty: n_gsm: fix deadlock and link starvation in outgoing data path
The current implementation queues up new control and user packets as needed
and processes this queue down to the ldisc in the same code path.
That means that the upper and the lower layer are hard coupled in the code.
Due to this deadlocks can happen as seen below while transmitting data,
especially during ldisc congestion. Furthermore, the data channels starve
the control channel on high transmission load on the ldisc.
Introduce an additional control channel data queue to prevent timeouts and
link hangups during ldisc congestion. This is being processed before the
user channel data queue in gsm_data_kick(), i.e. with the highest priority.
Put the queue to ldisc data path into a workqueue and trigger it whenever
new data has been put into the transmission queue. Change
gsm_dlci_data_sweep() accordingly to fill up the transmission queue until
TX_THRESH_HI. This solves the locking issue, keeps latency low and provides
good performance on high data load.
Note that now all packets from a DLCI are removed from the internal queue
if the associated DLCI was closed. This ensures that no data is sent by the
introduced write task to an already closed DLCI.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched, cpuset: Fix dl_cpu_busy() panic due to empty cs->cpus_allowed
With cgroup v2, the cpuset's cpus_allowed mask can be empty indicating
that the cpuset will just use the effective CPUs of its parent. So
cpuset_can_attach() can call task_can_attach() with an empty mask.
This can lead to cpumask_any_and() returns nr_cpu_ids causing the call
to dl_bw_of() to crash due to percpu value access of an out of bound
CPU value. For example:

Fix that by using effective_cpus instead. For cgroup v1, effective_cpus
is the same as cpus_allowed. For v2, effective_cpus is the real cpumask
to be used by tasks within the cpuset anyway.
Also update task_can_attach()'s 2nd argument name to cs_effective_cpus to
reflect the change. In addition, a check is added to task_can_attach()
to guard against the possibility that cpumask_any_and() may return a
value >= nr_cpu_ids.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: don't allow the same type rq_qos add more than once
In our test of iocost, we encountered some list add/del corruptions of
inner_walk list in ioc_timer_fn.
The reason can be described as follows:
cpu 0cpu 1
ioc_qos_writeioc_qos_write
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
}
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
...
}
When the io.cost.qos file is written by two cpus concurrently, rq_qos may
be added to one disk twice. In that case, there will be two iocs enabled
and running on one disk. They own different iocgs on their active list. In
the ioc_timer_fn function, because of the iocgs from two iocs have the
same root iocg, the root iocg's walk_list may be overwritten by each other
and this leads to list add/del corruptions in building or destroying the
inner_walk list.
And so far, the blk-rq-qos framework works in case that one instance for
one type rq_qos per queue by default. This patch make this explicit and
also fix the crash above.

net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in dev_parse_header_protocol when skb->dev is null
Fixes a NULL pointer derefence bug triggered from tap driver.
When tap_get_user calls virtio_net_hdr_to_skb the skb->dev is null
(in tap.c skb->dev is set after the call to virtio_net_hdr_to_skb)
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb calls dev_parse_header_protocol which
needs skb->dev field to be valid.
The line that trigers the bug is in dev_parse_header_protocol
(dev is at offset 0x10 from skb and is stored in RAX register)
if (!dev->header_ops || !dev->header_ops->parse_protocol)
22e1: mov 0x10(%rbx),%rax
22e5: mov 0x230(%rax),%rax
Setting skb->dev before the call in tap.c fixes the issue.

The root cause of the problem is that an mptcp-level (re)transmit can
race with mptcp_close() and the packet scheduler checks the subflow
state before acquiring the socket lock: we can try to (re)transmit on
an already closed ssk.
Fix the issue checking again the subflow socket status under the
subflow socket lock protection. Additionally add the missing check
for the fallback-to-tcp case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-blk: Avoid use-after-free on suspend/resume
hctx->user_data is set to vq in virtblk_init_hctx(). However, vq is
freed on suspend and reallocated on resume. So, hctx->user_data is
invalid after resume, and it will cause use-after-free accessing which
will result in the kernel crash something like below:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa_sim_blk: set number of address spaces and virtqueue groups
Commit bda324fd037a ("vdpasim: control virtqueue support") added two
new fields (nas, ngroups) to vdpasim_dev_attr, but we forgot to
initialize them for vdpa_sim_blk.
When creating a new vdpa_sim_blk device this causes the kernel
to panic in this way:
$ vdpa dev add mgmtdev vdpasim_blk name blk0
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030
...

...
This happens because vdpasim->iommu[0] is not initialized when
dev_attr.nas is 0.
Let's fix this issue by initializing both (nas, ngroups) to 1 for
vdpa_sim_blk.

Fix possible NULL pointer dereference, due to freeing of adapter->vf_res
in iavf_init_get_resources. Previous commit introduced a regression,
where receiving IAVF_ERR_ADMIN_QUEUE_NO_WORK from iavf_get_vf_config
would free adapter->vf_res. However, netdev is still registered, so
ethtool_ops can be called. Calling iavf_get_link_ksettings with no vf_res,
will result with:

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: DPCM: Don't pick up BE without substream
When DPCM tries to add valid BE connections at dpcm_add_paths(), it
doesn't check whether the picked BE actually supports for the given
stream direction. Due to that, when an asymmetric BE stream is
present, it picks up wrongly and this may result in a NULL dereference
at a later point where the code assumes the existence of a
corresponding BE substream.
This patch adds the check for the presence of the substream for the
target BE for avoiding the problem above.
Note that we have already some fix for non-existing BE substream at
commit 6246f283d5e0 ("ASoC: dpcm: skip missing substream while
applying symmetry"). But the code path we've hit recently is rather
happening before the previous fix. So this patch tries to fix at
picking up a BE instead of parsing BE lists.

Remove WARN_ON() from check if VSI is null in ice_reset_vf.
Add "VF is already removed\n" in dev_dbg().
This WARN_ON() is unnecessary and causes call trace, despite that
call trace, driver still works. There is no need for this warn
because this piece of code is responsible for disabling VF's Tx/Rx
queues when VF is disabled, but when VF is already removed there
is no need to do reset or disable queues.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: block range must be validated before use in ext4_mb_clear_bb()
Block range to free is validated in ext4_free_blocks() using
ext4_inode_block_valid() and then it's passed to ext4_mb_clear_bb().
However in some situations on bigalloc file system the range might be
adjusted after the validation in ext4_free_blocks() which can lead to
troubles on corrupted file systems such as one found by syzkaller that
resulted in the following BUG

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/gup: fix FOLL_FORCE COW security issue and remove FOLL_COW
Ever since the Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) security issue happened, we know
that FOLL_FORCE can be possibly dangerous, especially if there are races
that can be exploited by user space.
Right now, it would be sufficient to have some code that sets a PTE of a
R/O-mapped shared page dirty, in order for it to erroneously become
writable by FOLL_FORCE. The implications of setting a write-protected PTE
dirty might not be immediately obvious to everyone.
And in fact ever since commit 9ae0f87d009c ("mm/shmem: unconditionally set
pte dirty in mfill_atomic_install_pte"), we can use UFFDIO_CONTINUE to map
a shmem page R/O while marking the pte dirty. This can be used by
unprivileged user space to modify tmpfs/shmem file content even if the
user does not have write permissions to the file, and to bypass memfd
write sealing -- Dirty COW restricted to tmpfs/shmem (CVE-2022-2590).
To fix such security issues for good, the insight is that we really only
need that fancy retry logic (FOLL_COW) for COW mappings that are not
writable (!VM_WRITE). And in a COW mapping, we really only broke COW if
we have an exclusive anonymous page mapped. If we have something else
mapped, or the mapped anonymous page might be shared (!PageAnonExclusive),
we have to trigger a write fault to break COW. If we don't find an
exclusive anonymous page when we retry, we have to trigger COW breaking
once again because something intervened.
Let's move away from this mandatory-retry + dirty handling and rely on our
PageAnonExclusive() flag for making a similar decision, to use the same
COW logic as in other kernel parts here as well. In case we stumble over
a PTE in a COW mapping that does not map an exclusive anonymous page, COW
was not properly broken and we have to trigger a fake write-fault to break
COW.
Just like we do in can_change_pte_writable() added via commit 64fe24a3e05e
("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write faults for exclusive anonymous pages
when changing protection") and commit 76aefad628aa ("mm/mprotect: fix
soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable()"), take care of softdirty
and uffd-wp manually.
For example, a write() via /proc/self/mem to a uffd-wp-protected range has
to fail instead of silently granting write access and bypassing the
userspace fault handler. Note that FOLL_FORCE is not only used for debug
access, but also triggered by applications without debug intentions, for
example, when pinning pages via RDMA.
This fixes CVE-2022-2590. Note that only x86_64 and aarch64 are
affected, because only those support CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_MINOR.
Fortunately, FOLL_COW is no longer required to handle FOLL_FORCE. So
let's just get rid of it.
Thanks to Nadav Amit for pointing out that the pte_dirty() check in
FOLL_FORCE code is problematic and might be exploitable.
Note 1: We don't check for the PTE being dirty because it doesn't matter
for making a "was COWed" decision anymore, and whoever modifies the
page has to set the page dirty either way.
Note 2: Kernels before extended uffd-wp support and before
PageAnonExclusive (< 5.19) can simply revert the problematic
commit instead and be safe regarding UFFDIO_CONTINUE. A backport to
v5.19 requires minor adjustments due to lack of
vma_soft_dirty_enabled().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: don't call disarm_kprobe() for disabled kprobes
The assumption in __disable_kprobe() is wrong, and it could try to disarm
an already disarmed kprobe and fire the WARN_ONCE() below. [0] We can
easily reproduce this issue.
1. Write 0 to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled.
# echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled
2. Run execsnoop. At this time, one kprobe is disabled.
# /usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop &
[1] 2460
PCOMM PID PPID RET ARGS
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff91345650 r __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [FTRACE]
ffffffff91345650 k __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [DISABLED][FTRACE]
3. Write 1 to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled, which changes
kprobes_all_disarmed to false but does not arm the disabled kprobe.
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff91345650 r __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [FTRACE]
ffffffff91345650 k __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [DISABLED][FTRACE]
4. Kill execsnoop, when __disable_kprobe() calls disarm_kprobe() for the
disabled kprobe and hits the WARN_ONCE() in __disarm_kprobe_ftrace().
# fg
/usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop
^C
Actually, WARN_ONCE() is fired twice, and __unregister_kprobe_top() misses
some cleanups and leaves the aggregated kprobe in the hash table. Then,
__unregister_trace_kprobe() initialises tk->rp.kp.list and creates an
infinite loop like this.
aggregated kprobe.list -> kprobe.list -.
^ |
'.__.'
In this situation, these commands fall into the infinite loop and result
in RCU stall or soft lockup.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list : show_kprobe_addr() enters into the
infinite loop with RCU.
/usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop : warn_kprobe_rereg() holds kprobe_mutex,
and __get_valid_kprobe() is stuck in
the loop.
To avoid the issue, make sure we don't call disarm_kprobe() for disabled
kprobes.

nfc: pn533: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by pn532_cmd_timeout
When the pn532 uart device is detaching, the pn532_uart_remove()
is called. But there are no functions in pn532_uart_remove() that
could delete the cmd_timeout timer, which will cause use-after-free
bugs. The process is shown below:
(thread 1) | (thread 2)
| pn532_uart_send_frame
pn532_uart_remove | mod_timer(&pn532->cmd_timeout,...)
... | (wait a time)
kfree(pn532) //FREE | pn532_cmd_timeout
| pn532_uart_send_frame
| pn532->... //USE
This patch adds del_timer_sync() in pn532_uart_remove() in order to
prevent the use-after-free bugs. What's more, the pn53x_unregister_nfc()
is well synchronized, it sets nfc_dev->shutting_down to true and there
are no syscalls could restart the cmd_timeout timer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: policy: fix metadata dst->dev xmit null pointer dereference
When we try to transmit an skb with metadata_dst attached (i.e. dst->dev
== NULL) through xfrm interface we can hit a null pointer dereference[1]
in xfrmi_xmit2() -> xfrm_lookup_with_ifid() due to the check for a
loopback skb device when there's no policy which dereferences dst->dev
unconditionally. Not having dst->dev can be interepreted as it not being
a loopback device, so just add a check for a null dst_orig->dev.
With this fix xfrm interface's Tx error counters go up as usual.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-50003

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: xsk: prohibit usage of non-balanced queue id
Fix the following scenario:
1. ethtool -L $IFACE rx 8 tx 96
2. xdpsock -q 10 -t -z
Above refers to a case where user would like to attach XSK socket in
txonly mode at a queue id that does not have a corresponding Rx queue.
At this moment ice's XSK logic is tightly bound to act on a "queue pair",
e.g. both Tx and Rx queues at a given queue id are disabled/enabled and
both of them will get XSK pool assigned, which is broken for the presented
queue configuration. This results in the splat included at the bottom,
which is basically an OOB access to Rx ring array.
To fix this, allow using the ids only in scope of "combined" queues
reported by ethtool. However, logic should be rewritten to allow such
configurations later on, which would end up as a complete rewrite of the
control path, so let us go with this temporary fix.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: LAG, fix logic over MLX5_LAG_FLAG_NDEVS_READY
Only set MLX5_LAG_FLAG_NDEVS_READY if both netdevices are registered.
Doing so guarantees that both ldev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P0].dev and
ldev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P1].dev have valid pointers when
MLX5_LAG_FLAG_NDEVS_READY is set.
The core issue is asymmetry in setting MLX5_LAG_FLAG_NDEVS_READY and
clearing it. Setting it is done wrongly when both
ldev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P0].dev and ldev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P1].dev are set;
clearing it is done right when either of ldev->pf[i].netdev is cleared.
Consider the following scenario:
1. PF0 loads and sets ldev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P0].dev to a valid pointer
2. PF1 loads and sets both ldev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P1].dev and
ldev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P1].netdev with valid pointers. This results in
MLX5_LAG_FLAG_NDEVS_READY is set.
3. PF0 is unloaded before setting dev->pf[MLX5_LAG_P0].netdev.
MLX5_LAG_FLAG_NDEVS_READY remains set.
Further execution of mlx5_do_bond() will result in null pointer
dereference when calling mlx5_lag_is_multipath()
This patch fixes the following call trace actually encountered:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390: fix double free of GS and RI CBs on fork() failure
The pointers for guarded storage and runtime instrumentation control
blocks are stored in the thread_struct of the associated task. These
pointers are initially copied on fork() via arch_dup_task_struct()
and then cleared via copy_thread() before fork() returns. If fork()
happens to fail after the initial task dup and before copy_thread(),
the newly allocated task and associated thread_struct memory are
freed via free_task() -> arch_release_task_struct(). This results in
a double free of the guarded storage and runtime info structs
because the fields in the failed task still refer to memory
associated with the source task.
This problem can manifest as a BUG_ON() in set_freepointer() (with
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED enabled) or KASAN splat (if enabled)
when running trinity syscall fuzz tests on s390x. To avoid this
problem, clear the associated pointer fields in
arch_dup_task_struct() immediately after the new task is copied.
Note that the RI flag is still cleared in copy_thread() because it
resides in thread stack memory and that is where stack info is
copied.

The problem here is that a range of tnum_range(0, map->max_entries - 1) has
limited ability to represent the concrete tight range with the tnum as the
set of resulting states from value + mask can result in a superset of the
actual intended range, and as such a tnum_in(range, reg->var_off) check may
yield true when it shouldn't, for example tnum_range(0, 2) would result in
00XX -> v = 0000, m = 0011 such that the intended set of {0, 1, 2} is here
represented by a less precise superset of {0, 1, 2, 3}. As the register is
known const scalar, really just use the concrete reg->var_off.value for the
upper index check.

The bug occurs because usb_udc_uevent() dereferences udc->driver but
does so without acquiring the udc_lock mutex, which protects this
field. If the gadget driver is unbound from the udc concurrently with
uevent processing, the driver structure may be accessed after it has
been deallocated.
To prevent the race, we make sure that the routine holds the mutex
around the racing accesses.

2. write 1 to /proc/thread-self/fail-nth for failslab.
3. detach prog1 for cg1, and then kernel BUG occur.
Failslab injection will cause kmalloc fail and fall back to
purge_effective_progs. The problem is that cg2 have attached another prog,
so when go through cg2 layer, iteration will add pos to 1, and subsequent
operations will be skipped by the following condition, and cg will meet
NULL in the end.
`if (pos && !(cg->bpf.flags[atype] & BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI))`
The NULL cg means no link or prog match, this is as expected, and it's not
a bug. So here just skip the no match situation.

arm64: cacheinfo: Fix incorrect assignment of signed error value to unsigned fw_level
Though acpi_find_last_cache_level() always returned signed value and the
document states it will return any errors caused by lack of a PPTT table,
it never returned negative values before.
Commit 0c80f9e165f8 ("ACPI: PPTT: Leave the table mapped for the runtime usage")
however changed it by returning -ENOENT if no PPTT was found. The value
returned from acpi_find_last_cache_level() is then assigned to unsigned
fw_level.
It will result in the number of cache leaves calculated incorrectly as
a huge value which will then cause the following warning from __alloc_pages
as the order would be great than MAX_ORDER because of incorrect and huge
cache leaves value.

drm/i915/ttm: fix CCS handling
Crucible + recent Mesa seems to sometimes hit:
GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER)
And it looks like we can also trigger this with gem_lmem_swapping, if we
modify the test to use slightly larger object sizes.
Looking closer it looks like we have the following issues in
migrate_copy():
- We are using plain integer in various places, which we can easily
overflow with a large object.
- We pass the entire object size (when the src is lmem) into
emit_pte() and then try to copy it, which doesn't work, since we
only have a few fixed sized windows in which to map the pages and
perform the copy. With an object > 8M we therefore aren't properly
copying the pages. And then with an object > 64M we trigger the
GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER).
So it looks like our copy handling for any object > 8M (which is our
CHUNK_SZ) is currently broken on DG2.
Testcase: igt@gem_lmem_swapping

Then dev->qdisc will be noop_qdisc by default. But the other queues may be

In this case, the fallback to noqueue process will be triggered. If the
original attached qdisc is not released and a new one is directly
attached, this will cause netdevice reference leaks.

Evidently this was caused by the scope of udc_mutex being too large.
The mutex is only meant to protect udc->driver along with a few other
things. As far as I can tell, there's no reason for the mutex to be
held while the gadget core calls a gadget driver's ->bind or ->unbind
routine, or while a UDC is being started or stopped. (This accounts
for link #1 in the chain above, where the mutex is held while the
dwc2_hsotg_udc is started as part of driver probing.)
Gadget drivers' ->disconnect callbacks are problematic. Even though
usb_gadget_disconnect() will now acquire the udc_mutex, there's a
window in usb_gadget_bind_driver() between the times when the mutex is
released and the ->bind callback is invoked. If a disconnect occurred
during that window, we could call the driver's ->disconnect routine
before its ->bind routine. To prevent this from happening, it will be
necessary to prevent a UDC from connecting while it has no gadget
driver. This should be done already but it doesn't seem to be;
currently usb_gadget_connect() has no check for this. Such a check
will have to be added later.
Some degree of mutual exclusion is required in soft_connect_store(),
which can dereference udc->driver at arbitrary times since it is a
sysfs callback. The solution here is to acquire the gadget's device
lock rather than the udc_mutex. Since the driver core guarantees that
the device lock is always held during driver binding and unbinding,
this will make the accesses in soft_connect_store() mutually exclusive
with any changes to udc->driver.
Lastly, it turns out there is one place which should hold the
udc_mutex but currently does not: The function_show() routine needs
protection while it dereferences udc->driver. The missing lock and
unlock calls are added.

KVM: VMX: Do _all_ initialization before exposing /dev/kvm to userspace
Call kvm_init() only after _all_ setup is complete, as kvm_init() exposes
/dev/kvm to userspace and thus allows userspace to create VMs (and call
other ioctls). E.g. KVM will encounter a NULL pointer when attempting to
add a vCPU to the per-CPU loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list if userspace is able to
create a VM before vmx_init() configures said list.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-49929

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix mr leak in RESPST_ERR_RNR

i2c: piix4: Fix adapter not be removed in piix4_remove()
In piix4_probe(), the piix4 adapter will be registered in:
piix4_probe()
piix4_add_adapters_sb800() / piix4_add_adapter()
i2c_add_adapter()
Based on the probed device type, piix4_add_adapters_sb800() or single
piix4_add_adapter() will be called.
For the former case, piix4_adapter_count is set as the number of adapters,
while for antoher case it is not set and kept default *zero*.
When piix4 is removed, piix4_remove() removes the adapters added in
piix4_probe(), basing on the piix4_adapter_count value.
Because the count is zero for the single adapter case, the adapter won't
be removed and makes the sources allocated for adapter leaked, such as
the i2c client and device.
These sources can still be accessed by i2c or bus and cause problems.
An easily reproduced case is that if a new adapter is registered, i2c
will get the leaked adapter and try to call smbus_algorithm, which was
already freed:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops
KASAN reported a use-after-free with ftrace ops [1]. It was found from
vmcore that perf had registered two ops with the same content
successively, both dynamic. After unregistering the second ops, a
use-after-free occurred.
In ftrace_shutdown(), when the second ops is unregistered, the
FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS command is not set because there is another enabled
ops with the same content. Also, both ops are dynamic and the ftrace
callback function is ftrace_ops_list_func, so the
FTRACE_UPDATE_TRACE_FUNC command will not be set. Eventually the value
of 'command' will be 0 and ftrace_shutdown() will skip the rcu
synchronization.
However, ftrace may be activated. When the ops is released, another CPU
may be accessing the ops. Add the missing synchronization to fix this
problem.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: entry: avoid kprobe recursion
The cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() function is called when
handling debug exceptions (and synchronous exceptions from BRK
instructions), and so is called when a probed function executes. If the
compiler does not inline cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler(), it
can be probed.
If cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() is probed, any debug
exception or software breakpoint exception will result in recursive
exceptions leading to a stack overflow. This can be triggered with the
ftrace multiple_probes selftest, and as per the example splat below.
This is a regression caused by commit:
6459b8469753e9fe ("arm64: entry: consolidate Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225 workaround")
... which removed the NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() annotation associated with the
function.
My intent was that cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() would be
inlined into its caller, el1_dbg(), which is marked noinstr and cannot
be probed. Mark cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() as
__always_inline to ensure this.
Example splat prior to this patch (with recursive entries elided):
| # echo p cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
| # echo p do_el0_svc >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix general-protection-fault in ieee80211_subif_start_xmit()
When device is running and the interface status is changed, the gpf issue
is triggered. The problem triggering process is as follows:
Thread A: Thread B
ieee80211_runtime_change_iftype() process_one_work()
... ...
ieee80211_do_stop() ...
... ...
sdata->bss = NULL ...
... ieee80211_subif_start_xmit()
ieee80211_multicast_to_unicast
//!sdata->bss->multicast_to_unicast
cause gpf issue
When the interface status is changed, the sending queue continues to send
packets. After the bss is set to NULL, the bss is accessed. As a result,
this causes a general-protection-fault issue.
The following is the stack information:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

Check for the BNXT_STATE_OPEN flag instead of netif_running() to ensure
that the device is fully operational before proceeding to reconfigure
the coalescing settings.
This will fix a possible crash like this:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rx_register()
It causes NULL pointer dereference when testing as following:
(a) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x10ul, 3ul, 0) to create netlink socket.
(b) use syscall(__NR_sendmsg, ...) to create bond link device and vxcan
link device, and bind vxcan device to bond device (can also use
ifenslave command to bind vxcan device to bond device).
(c) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x1dul, 3ul, 1) to create CAN socket.
(d) use syscall(__NR_bind, ...) to bind the bond device to CAN socket.
The bond device invokes the can-raw protocol registration interface to
receive CAN packets. However, ml_priv is not allocated to the dev,
dev_rcv_lists is assigned to NULL in can_rx_register(). In this case,
it will occur the NULL pointer dereference issue.
The following is the stack information:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, test_run: Fix alignment problem in bpf_prog_test_run_skb()
We got a syzkaller problem because of aarch64 alignment fault
if KFENCE enabled. When the size from user bpf program is an odd
number, like 399, 407, etc, it will cause the struct skb_shared_info's
unaligned access. As seen below:

is aligned to a cache line.

and in sctp_sched_fcfs_dequeue() it dequeued a chunk from stream
out_curr outq while this outq was empty.
Normally stream->out_curr must be set to NULL once all frag chunks of
current msg are dequeued, as we can see in sctp_sched_dequeue_done().
However, in sctp_prsctp_prune_unsent() as it is not a proper dequeue,
sctp_sched_dequeue_done() is not called to do this.
This patch is to fix it by simply setting out_curr to NULL when the
last frag chunk of current msg is dequeued from out_curr stream in
sctp_prsctp_prune_unsent().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hugetlbfs: don't delete error page from pagecache
This change is very similar to the change that was made for shmem [1], and
it solves the same problem but for HugeTLBFS instead.
Currently, when poison is found in a HugeTLB page, the page is removed
from the page cache. That means that attempting to map or read that
hugepage in the future will result in a new hugepage being allocated
instead of notifying the user that the page was poisoned. As [1] states,
this is effectively memory corruption.
The fix is to leave the page in the page cache. If the user attempts to
use a poisoned HugeTLB page with a syscall, the syscall will fail with
EIO, the same error code that shmem uses. For attempts to map the page,
the thread will get a BUS_MCEERR_AR SIGBUS.

Description:

ata: libata-transport: fix double ata_host_put() in ata_tport_add()
In the error path in ata_tport_add(), when calling put_device(),
ata_tport_release() is called, it will put the refcount of 'ap->host'.
And then ata_host_put() is called again, the refcount is decreased
to 0, ata_host_release() is called, all ports are freed and set to
null.
When unbinding the device after failure, ata_host_stop() is called
to release the resources, it leads a null-ptr-deref(), because all
the ports all freed and null.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bridge: switchdev: Fix memory leaks when changing VLAN protocol
The bridge driver can offload VLANs to the underlying hardware either
via switchdev or the 8021q driver. When the former is used, the VLAN is
marked in the bridge driver with the 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'
private flag.
To avoid the memory leaks mentioned in the cited commit, the bridge
driver will try to delete a VLAN via the 8021q driver if the VLAN is not
marked with the previously mentioned flag.
When the VLAN protocol of the bridge changes, switchdev drivers are
notified via the 'SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_VLAN_PROTOCOL' attribute, but
the 8021q driver is also called to add the existing VLANs with the new
protocol and delete them with the old protocol.
In case the VLANs were offloaded via switchdev, the above behavior is
both redundant and buggy. Redundant because the VLANs are already
programmed in hardware and drivers that support VLAN protocol change
(currently only mlx5) change the protocol upon the switchdev attribute
notification. Buggy because the 8021q driver is called despite these
VLANs being marked with 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'. This leads to
memory leaks [1] when the VLANs are deleted.
Fix by not calling the 8021q driver for VLANs that were already
programmed via switchdev.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix missing xas_retry() calls in xarray iteration
netfslib has a number of places in which it performs iteration of an xarray
whilst being under the RCU read lock. It *should* call xas_retry() as the
first thing inside of the loop and do "continue" if it returns true in case
the xarray walker passed out a special value indicating that the walk needs
to be redone from the root[*].
Fix this by adding the missing retry checks.
[*] I wonder if this should be done inside xas_find(), xas_next_node() and
suchlike, but I'm told that's not an simple change to effect.
This can cause an oops like that below. Note the faulting address - this
is an internal value (|0x2) returned from xarray.

x86/fpu: Drop fpregs lock before inheriting FPU permissions
Mike Galbraith reported the following against an old fork of preempt-rt
but the same issue also applies to the current preempt-rt tree.

Mike says:
The splat comes from fpu_inherit_perms() being called under fpregs_lock(),
and us reaching the spin_lock_irq() therein due to fpu_state_size_dynamic()
returning true despite static key __fpu_state_size_dynamic having never
been enabled.
Mike's assessment looks correct. fpregs_lock on a PREEMPT_RT kernel disables
preemption so calling spin_lock_irq() in fpu_inherit_perms() is unsafe. This
problem exists since commit
9e798e9aa14c ("x86/fpu: Prepare fpu_clone() for dynamically enabled features").
Even though the original bug report should not have enabled the paths at
all, the bug still exists.
fpregs_lock is necessary when editing the FPU registers or a task's FP
state but it is not necessary for fpu_inherit_perms(). The only write
of any FP state in fpu_inherit_perms() is for the new child which is
not running yet and cannot context switch or be borrowed by a kernel
thread yet. Hence, fpregs_lock is not protecting anything in the new
child until clone() completes and can be dropped earlier. The siglock
still needs to be acquired by fpu_inherit_perms() as the read of the
parent's permissions has to be serialised.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/amd: Fix crash due to race between amd_pmu_enable_all, perf NMI and throttling
amd_pmu_enable_all() does:
if (!test_bit(idx, cpuc->active_mask))
continue;
amd_pmu_enable_event(cpuc->events[idx]);
A perf NMI of another event can come between these two steps. Perf NMI
handler internally disables and enables _all_ events, including the one
which nmi-intercepted amd_pmu_enable_all() was in process of enabling.
If that unintentionally enabled event has very low sampling period and
causes immediate successive NMI, causing the event to be throttled,
cpuc->events[idx] and cpuc->active_mask gets cleared by x86_pmu_stop().
This will result in amd_pmu_enable_event() getting called with event=NULL
when amd_pmu_enable_all() resumes after handling the NMIs. This causes a
kernel crash:

amd_pmu_disable_all()/amd_pmu_enable_all() calls inside perf NMI handler
were recently added as part of BRS enablement but I'm not sure whether
we really need them. We can just disable BRS in the beginning and enable
it back while returning from NMI. This will solve the issue by not
enabling those events whose active_masks are set but are not yet enabled
in hw pmu.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm ioctl: fix misbehavior if list_versions races with module loading
__list_versions will first estimate the required space using the
"dm_target_iterate(list_version_get_needed, &needed)" call and then will
fill the space using the "dm_target_iterate(list_version_get_info,
&iter_info)" call. Each of these calls locks the targets using the
"down_read(&_lock)" and "up_read(&_lock)" calls, however between the first
and second "dm_target_iterate" there is no lock held and the target
modules can be loaded at this point, so the second "dm_target_iterate"
call may need more space than what was the first "dm_target_iterate"
returned.
The code tries to handle this overflow (see the beginning of
list_version_get_info), however this handling is incorrect.
The code sets "param->data_size = param->data_start + needed" and
"iter_info.end = (char *)vers+len" - "needed" is the size returned by the
first dm_target_iterate call; "len" is the size of the buffer allocated by
userspace.
"len" may be greater than "needed"; in this case, the code will write up
to "len" bytes into the buffer, however param->data_size is set to
"needed", so it may write data past the param->data_size value. The ioctl
interface copies only up to param->data_size into userspace, thus part of
the result will be truncated.
Fix this bug by setting "iter_info.end = (char *)vers + needed;" - this
guarantees that the second "dm_target_iterate" call will write only up to
the "needed" buffer and it will exit with "DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG" if it
overflows the "needed" space - in this case, userspace will allocate a
larger buffer and retry.
Note that there is also a bug in list_version_get_needed - we need to add
"strlen(tt->name) + 1" to the needed size, not "strlen(tt->name)".

The can be reproduced by attaching bpf program as raw tracepoint on
contention_begin tracepoint. The bpf prog calls bpf_trace_printk
helper. Then by running perf bench the spin lock code is forced to
take slow path and call contention_begin tracepoint.
Fixing this by skipping execution of the bpf program if it's
already running, Using bpf prog 'active' field, which is being
currently used by trampoline programs for the same reason.
Moving bpf_prog_inc_misses_counter to syscall.c because
trampoline.c is compiled in just for CONFIG_BPF_JIT option.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-49740

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Check the count value of channel spec to prevent out-of-bounds reads
This patch fixes slab-out-of-bounds reads in brcmfmac that occur in
brcmf_construct_chaninfo() and brcmf_enable_bw40_2g() when the count
value of channel specifications provided by the device is greater than
the length of 'list->element[]', decided by the size of the 'list'
allocated with kzalloc(). The patch adds checks that make the functions
free the buffer and return -EINVAL if that is the case. Note that the
negative return is handled by the caller, brcmf_setup_wiphybands() or
brcmf_cfg80211_attach().
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the commit
d966ddcc3821 ("tipc: fix a deadlock when flushing scheduled work"),
the cancel_work_sync() function just to make sure ONLY the work
tipc_net_finalize_work() is executing/pending on any CPU completed before
tipc namespace is destroyed through tipc_exit_net(). But this function
is not guaranteed the work is the last queued. So, the destroyed instance
may be accessed in the work which will try to enqueue later.
In order to completely fix, we re-order the calling of cancel_work_sync()
to make sure the work tipc_net_finalize_work() was last queued and it
must be completed by calling cancel_work_sync().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bonding: fix use-after-free after 802.3ad slave unbind
commit 0622cab0341c ("bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection"),
resolve case, when there is several aggregation groups in the same bond.
bond_3ad_unbind_slave will invalidate (clear) aggregator when
__agg_active_ports return zero. So, ad_clear_agg can be executed even, when
num_of_ports!=0. Than bond_3ad_unbind_slave can be executed again for,
previously cleared aggregator. NOTE: at this time bond_3ad_unbind_slave
will not update slave ports list, because lag_ports==NULL. So, here we
got slave ports, pointing to freed aggregator memory.
Fix with checking actual number of ports in group (as was before
commit 0622cab0341c ("bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection") ),
before ad_clear_agg().

bpf: Fix insufficient bounds propagation from adjust_scalar_min_max_vals
Kuee reported a corner case where the tnum becomes constant after the call
to __reg_bound_offset(), but the register's bounds are not, that is, its
min bounds are still not equal to the register's max bounds.
This in turn allows to leak pointers through turning a pointer register as
is into an unknown scalar via adjust_ptr_min_max_vals().

What can be seen here is that R3=scalar(umin=32767,umax=32768,var_off=(0x7fff;
0x8000)) after the operation R3 += -32767 results in a 'malformed' constant, that
is, R3_w=scalar(imm=0,umax=1,var_off=(0x0; 0x0)). Intersecting with var_off has
not been done at that point via __update_reg_bounds(), which would have improved
the umax to be equal to umin.
Refactor the tnum <> min/max bounds information flow into a reg_bounds_sync()
helper and use it consistently everywhere. After the fix, bounds have been
corrected to R3_w=scalar(imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0)) and thus the register
is regarded as a 'proper' constant scalar of 0.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: remove aq_nic_deinit() when resume
aq_nic_deinit() has been called while suspending, so we don't have to call

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250: Fix PM usage_count for console handover
When console is enabled, univ8250_console_setup() calls
serial8250_console_setup() before .dev is set to uart_port. Therefore,
it will not call pm_runtime_get_sync(). Later, when the actual driver
is going to take over univ8250_console_exit() is called. As .dev is
already set, serial8250_console_exit() makes pm_runtime_put_sync() call
with usage count being zero triggering PM usage count warning
(extra debug for univ8250_console_setup(), univ8250_console_exit(), and
serial8250_register_ports()):

[ 1.978167] printk: console [ttyS0] printing thread started

To fix the issue, call pm_runtime_get_sync() in
serial8250_register_ports() as soon as .dev is set for an uart_port
if it has console enabled.
This problem became apparent only recently because 82586a721595 ("PM:
runtime: Avoid device usage count underflows") added the warning
printout. I confirmed this problem also occurs with v5.18 (w/o the
warning printout, obviously).

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/bitmap: don't set sb values if can't pass sanity check
If bitmap area contains invalid data, kernel will crash then mdadm
triggers "Segmentation fault".
This is cluster-md speical bug. In non-clustered env, mdadm will
handle broken metadata case. In clustered array, only kernel space
handles bitmap slot info. But even this bug only happened in clustered
env, current sanity check is wrong, the code should be changed.
How to trigger: (faulty injection)
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1 oflag=direct of=/dev/sda
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1 oflag=direct of=/dev/sdb
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -b clustered -e 1.2 -n 2 -l mirror /dev/sda /dev/sdb
mdadm -Ss
echo aaa > magic.txt
== below modifying slot 2 bitmap data ==
dd if=magic.txt of=/dev/sda seek=16384 bs=1 count=3 <== destroy magic
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda seek=16436 bs=1 count=4 <== ZERO chunksize
mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb
== kernel crashes. mdadm outputs "Segmentation fault" ==
Reason of kernel crash:
In md_bitmap_read_sb (called by md_bitmap_create), bad bitmap magic didn't
block chunksize assignment, and zero value made DIV_ROUND_UP_SECTOR_T()
trigger "divide error".

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc3-topology: Correct get_control_data for non bytes payload
It is possible to craft a topology where sof_get_control_data() would do
out of bounds access because it expects that it is only called when the
payload is bytes type.
Confusingly it also handles other types of controls, but the payload
parsing implementation is only valid for bytes.
Fix the code to count the non bytes controls and instead of storing a
pointer to sof_abi_hdr in sof_widget_data (which is only valid for bytes),
store the pointer to the data itself and add a new member to save the size
of the data.
In case of non bytes controls we store the pointer to the chanv itself,
which is just an array of values at the end.
In case of bytes control, drop the wrong cdata->data (wdata[i].pdata) check

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

nvdimm: Fix firmware activation deadlock scenarios
Lockdep reports the following deadlock scenarios for CXL root device
power-management, device_prepare(), operations, and device_shutdown()
operations for 'nd_region' devices:
Chain exists of:
&nvdimm_region_key --> &nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex --> system_transition_mutex
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(system_transition_mutex);
lock(&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex);
lock(system_transition_mutex);
lock(&nvdimm_region_key);
Chain exists of:
&cxl_nvdimm_bridge_key --> acpi_scan_lock --> &cxl_root_key
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&cxl_root_key);
lock(acpi_scan_lock);
lock(&cxl_root_key);
lock(&cxl_nvdimm_bridge_key);
These stem from holding nvdimm_bus_lock() over hibernate_quiet_exec()
which walks the entire system device topology taking device_lock() along
the way. The nvdimm_bus_lock() is protecting against unregistration,
multiple simultaneous ops callers, and preventing activate_show() from
racing activate_store(). For the first 2, the lock is redundant.
Unregistration already flushes all ops users, and sysfs already prevents
multiple threads to be active in an ops handler at the same time. For
the last userspace should already be waiting for its last
activate_store() to complete, and does not need activate_show() to flush
the write side, so this lock usage can be deleted in these attributes.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: fix deadlock caused by calling printk() under tty_port->lock
pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print
failure message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by
syz-bot below:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(console_owner);
As commit dbdda842fe96 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to
load balance console writes") said, such deadlock can be prevented by
using printk_deferred() in kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section
guarded by the port->lock). But there are too many printk() on the
kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing
printk() to printk_deferred() is too complicated and inelegant.
Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so
that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be
avoided.
Syzbot reported the following lockdep error:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: vesafb: Fix a use-after-free due early fb_info cleanup
Commit b3c9a924aab6 ("fbdev: vesafb: Cleanup fb_info in .fb_destroy rather
than .remove") fixed a use-after-free error due the vesafb driver freeing
the fb_info in the .remove handler instead of doing it in .fb_destroy.
This can happen if the .fb_destroy callback is executed after the .remove
callback, since the former tries to access a pointer freed by the latter.
But that change didn't take into account that another possible scenario is
that .fb_destroy is called before the .remove callback. For example, if no
process has the fbdev chardev opened by the time the driver is removed.
If that's the case, fb_info will be freed when unregister_framebuffer() is
called, making the fb_info pointer accessed in vesafb_remove() after that
to no longer be valid.
To prevent that, move the expression containing the info->par to happen
before the unregister_framebuffer() function call.

ext4_punch_hole(), remove similar handling from ext4_punch_hole().

Description:

dlm: fix plock invalid read
This patch fixes an invalid read showed by KASAN. A unlock will allocate a
"struct plock_op" and a followed send_op() will append it to a global
send_list data structure. In some cases a followed dev_read() moves it
to recv_list and dev_write() will cast it to "struct plock_xop" and access
fields which are only available in those structures. At this point an
invalid read happens by accessing those fields.
To fix this issue the "callback" field is moved to "struct plock_op" to
indicate that a cast to "plock_xop" is allowed and does the additional
"plock_xop" handling if set.
Example of the KASAN output which showed the invalid read:

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-49406

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix potential deadlock in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show()
When being read, a sysfs attribute is already protected against removal
with the kobject node active reference counter. As a result, in
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), there is no need to take the queue sysfs
lock when reading the value of a range attribute. Using the queue sysfs
lock in this function creates a potential deadlock situation with the
disk removal, something that a lockdep signals with a splat when the
device is removed:
[ 760.703551] Possible unsafe locking scenario:

Solve this by removing the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() calls from
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: Don't set mddev private to NULL in raid0 pers->free
In normal stop process, it does like this:
do_md_stop
|
__md_stop (pers->free(); mddev->private=NULL)
|
md_free (free mddev)
__md_stop sets mddev->private to NULL after pers->free. The raid device
will be stopped and mddev memory is free. But in reshape, it doesn't
free the mddev and mddev will still be used in new raid.
In reshape, it first sets mddev->private to new_pers and then runs
old_pers->free(). Now raid0 sets mddev->private to NULL in raid0_free.
The new raid can't work anymore. It will panic when dereference
mddev->private because of NULL pointer dereference.
It can panic like this:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, arm64: Clear prog->jited_len along prog->jited
syzbot reported an illegal copy_to_user() attempt
from bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() [1]
There was no repro yet on this bug, but I think
that commit 0aef499f3172 ("mm/usercopy: Detect vmalloc overruns")
is exposing a prior bug in bpf arm64.
bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() looks at prog->jited_len
to determine if the JIT image can be copied out to user space.
My theory is that syzbot managed to get a prog where prog->jited_len
has been set to 43, while prog->bpf_func has ben cleared.
It is not clear why copy_to_user(uinsns, NULL, ulen) is triggering
this particular warning.
I thought find_vma_area(NULL) would not find a vm_struct.
As we do not hold vmap_area_lock spinlock, it might be possible
that the found vm_struct was garbage.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix possible deadlock when holding Fwb to get inline_data
1, mount with wsync.
2, create a file with O_RDWR, and the request was sent to mds.0:

{
...
if (inline_version == 1 || /* initial version, no data */
inline_version == CEPH_INLINE_NONE)
goto out_unlock;
...
}
The inline_version will be 1, which is the initial version for the
new create file. And here the ci->i_inline_version will keep with 1,
it's buggy.
3, buffer write to the file immediately:
ceph_write_iter()-->
ceph_get_caps(file, need=Fw, want=Fb, ...);
generic_perform_write()-->
a_ops->write_begin()-->

ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline(subreq))
return;
...
}
ceph_put_cap_refs(ci, Fwb);
The ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline() will send a getattr(Fsr) request to
mds.1.
4, then the mds.1 will request the rd lock for CInode::filelock from
the auth mds.0, the mds.0 will do the CInode::filelock state transation
from excl --> sync, but it need to revoke the Fxwb caps back from the
clients.
While the kernel client has aleady held the Fwb caps and waiting for
the getattr(Fsr).
It's deadlock!

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix rq-qos breakage from skipping rq_qos_done_bio()
a647a524a467 ("block: don't call rq_qos_ops->done_bio if the bio isn't
tracked") made bio_endio() skip rq_qos_done_bio() if BIO_TRACKED is not set.
While this fixed a potential oops, it also broke blk-iocost by skipping the
done_bio callback for merged bios.
Before, whether a bio goes through rq_qos_throttle() or rq_qos_merge(),
rq_qos_done_bio() would be called on the bio on completion with BIO_TRACKED
distinguishing the former from the latter. rq_qos_done_bio() is not called
for bios which wenth through rq_qos_merge(). This royally confuses
blk-iocost as the merged bios never finish and are considered perpetually
in-flight.
One reliably reproducible failure mode is an intermediate cgroup geting
stuck active preventing its children from being activated due to the
leaf-only rule, leading to loss of control. The following is from
resctl-bench protection scenario which emulates isolating a web server like
workload from a memory bomb run on an iocost configuration which should
yield a reasonable level of protection.

The isolation result of 58.12% is close to what this device would show
without any IO control.
Fix it by introducing a new flag BIO_QOS_MERGED to mark merged bios and
calling rq_qos_done_bio() on them too. For consistency and clarity, rename
BIO_TRACKED to BIO_QOS_THROTTLED. The flag checks are moved into
rq_qos_done_bio() so that it's next to the code paths that set the flags.
With the patch applied, the above same benchmark shows:

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-49219

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: fix memory leak during D3hot to D0 transition
If 'vfio_pci_core_device::needs_pm_restore' is set (PCI device does
not have No_Soft_Reset bit set in its PMCSR config register), then
the current PCI state will be saved locally in
'vfio_pci_core_device::pm_save' during D0->D3hot transition and same
will be restored back during D3hot->D0 transition.
For saving the PCI state locally, pci_store_saved_state() is being
used and the pci_load_and_free_saved_state() will free the allocated
memory.
But for reset related IOCTLs, vfio driver calls PCI reset-related
API's which will internally change the PCI power state back to D0. So,
when the guest resumes, then it will get the current state as D0 and it
will skip the call to vfio_pci_set_power_state() for changing the
power state to D0 explicitly. In this case, the memory pointed by
'pm_save' will never be freed. In a malicious sequence, the state changing
to D3hot followed by VFIO_DEVICE_RESET/VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_HOT_RESET can be
run in a loop and it can cause an OOM situation.
This patch frees the earlier allocated memory first before overwriting
'pm_save' to prevent the mentioned memory leak.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Fix more uncharged while msg has more_data
In tcp_bpf_send_verdict(), if msg has more data after
tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir():
tcp_bpf_send_verdict()
tosend = msg->sg.size //msg->sg.size = 22220
case __SK_REDIRECT:

tosend = msg->sg.size //msg->sg.size = 11000
case __SK_REDIRECT:
sk_msg_return() //uncharged msg->sg.size(11000) to sk->sk_forward_alloc
The msg->sg.size(11000) has been uncharged twice, to fix we can charge the
remaining msg->sg.size before goto more data.

powerpc/pseries: Fix use after free in remove_phb_dynamic()
In remove_phb_dynamic() we use &phb->io_resource, after we've called
device_unregister(&host_bridge->dev). But the unregister may have freed
phb, because pcibios_free_controller_deferred() is the release function
for the host_bridge.
If there are no outstanding references when we call device_unregister()
then phb will be freed out from under us.
This has gone mainly unnoticed, but with slub_debug and page_poison
enabled it can lead to a crash:

To avoid it, we can take a reference to the host_bridge->dev until we're
done using phb. Then when we drop the reference the phb will be freed.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-49174

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix ext4_mb_mark_bb() with flex_bg with fast_commit
In case of flex_bg feature (which is by default enabled), extents for
any given inode might span across blocks from two different block group.
ext4_mb_mark_bb() only reads the buffer_head of block bitmap once for the
starting block group, but it fails to read it again when the extent length
boundary overflows to another block group. Then in this below loop it
accesses memory beyond the block group bitmap buffer_head and results
into a data abort.
for (i = 0; i < clen; i++)
if (!mb_test_bit(blkoff + i, bitmap_bh->b_data) == !state)
already++;
This patch adds this functionality for checking block group boundary in
ext4_mb_mark_bb() and update the buffer_head(bitmap_bh) for every different
block group.
w/o this patch, I was easily able to hit a data access abort using Power platform.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Implement ref count for SRB
The timeout handler and the done function are racing. When
qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout() starts to run it can be preempted by the
normal response path (via the firmware?). qla24xx_async_gpsc_sp_done()
releases the SRB unconditionally. When scheduling back to
qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout() qla24xx_async_abort_cmd() will access an freed
sp->qpair pointer:
qla2xxx [0000:83:00.0]-2871:0: Async-gpsc timeout - hdl=63d portid=234500 50:06:0e:80:08:77:b6:21.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004
IP: qla24xx_async_abort_cmd+0x1b/0x1c0 [qla2xxx]
Obvious solution to this is to introduce a reference counter. One reference
is taken for the normal code path (the 'good' case) and one for the timeout
path. As we always race between the normal good case and the timeout/abort
handler we need to serialize it. Also we cannot assume any order between
the handlers. Since this is slow path we can use proper synchronization via
locks.
When we are able to cancel a timer (del_timer returns 1) we know there
can't be any error handling in progress because the timeout handler hasn't
expired yet, thus we can safely decrement the refcounter by one.
If we are not able to cancel the timer, we know an abort handler is
running. We have to make sure we call sp->done() in the abort handlers
before calling kref_put().

The issue here is that board file loading happens after ath11k_pci_probe()
succesfully returns (ath11k initialisation happends asynchronously) and the
suspend handler is still enabled, of course failing as ath11k is not properly
initialised. Fix this by checking ATH11K_FLAG_QMI_FAIL during both suspend and
resume.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfc: add missing xdp queue reinitialization
After rx/tx ring buffer size is changed, kernel panic occurs when
it acts XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT.
When tx/rx ring buffer size is changed(ethtool -G), sfc driver
reallocates and reinitializes rx and tx queues and their buffer
(tx_queue->buffer).
But it misses reinitializing xdp queues(efx->xdp_tx_queues).
So, while it is acting XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT, it uses the uninitialized
tx_queue->buffer.
A new function efx_set_xdp_channels() is separated from efx_set_channels()
to handle only xdp queues.
Splat looks like:

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv4: fix route with nexthop object delete warning
FRR folks have hit a kernel warning[1] while deleting routes[2] which is
caused by trying to delete a route pointing to a nexthop id without
specifying nhid but matching on an interface. That is, a route is found
but we hit a warning while matching it. The warning is from
fib_info_nh() in include/net/nexthop.h because we run it on a fib_info
with nexthop object. The call chain is:
inet_rtm_delroute -> fib_table_delete -> fib_nh_match (called with a
nexthop fib_info and also with fc_oif set thus calling fib_info_nh on
the fib_info and triggering the warning). The fix is to not do any
matching in that branch if the fi has a nexthop object because those are
managed separately. I.e. we should match when deleting without nh spec and
should fail when deleting a nexthop route with old-style nh spec because
nexthop objects are managed separately, e.g.:
$ ip r show 1.2.3.4/32
1.2.3.4 nhid 12 via 192.168.11.2 dev dummy0
$ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32
$ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32 nhid 12
<both should work>
$ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32 dev dummy0
<should fail with ESRCH>

Fix this by introducing the local variable port_id to store the port ID
value before executing mpt3sas_transport_port_remove(). This local variable
is then used in the call to ioc_info() instead of dereferencing the freed
port structure.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: fix unexpected zeroed page mapping with zram swap
Two processes under CLONE_VM cloning, user process can be corrupted by
seeing zeroed page unexpectedly.
CPU A CPU B
do_swap_page do_swap_page
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path
swap_readpage valid data
swap_slot_free_notify
delete zram entry
swap_readpage zeroed(invalid) data
pte_lock
map the *zero data* to userspace
pte_unlock
pte_lock
if (!pte_same)
goto out_nomap;
pte_unlock
return and next refault will
read zeroed data
The swap_slot_free_notify is bogus for CLONE_VM case since it doesn't
increase the refcount of swap slot at copy_mm so it couldn't catch up
whether it's safe or not to discard data from backing device. In the
case, only the lock it could rely on to synchronize swap slot freeing is
page table lock. Thus, this patch gets rid of the swap_slot_free_notify
function. With this patch, CPU A will see correct data.
CPU A CPU B
do_swap_page do_swap_page
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path
swap_readpage original data
pte_lock
map the original data
swap_free
swap_range_free
bd_disk->fops->swap_slot_free_notify
swap_readpage read zeroed data
pte_unlock
pte_lock
if (!pte_same)
goto out_nomap;
pte_unlock
return
on next refault will see mapped data by CPU B
The concern of the patch would increase memory consumption since it
could keep wasted memory with compressed form in zram as well as
uncompressed form in address space. However, most of cases of zram uses
no readahead and do_swap_page is followed by swap_free so it will free
the compressed form from in zram quickly.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/gup: fix gup_pud_range() for dax
For dax pud, pud_huge() returns true on x86. So the function works as long
as hugetlb is configured. However, dax doesn't depend on hugetlb.
Commit 414fd080d125 ("mm/gup: fix gup_pmd_range() for dax") fixed
devmap-backed huge PMDs, but missed devmap-backed huge PUDs. Fix this as
well.
This fixes the below kernel panic:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Fix race on per-CQ variable napi work_done
After calling napi_complete_done(), the NAPIF_STATE_SCHED bit may be
cleared, and another CPU can start napi thread and access per-CQ variable,
cq->work_done. If the other thread (for example, from busy_poll) sets
it to a value >= budget, this thread will continue to run when it should
stop, and cause memory corruption and panic.
To fix this issue, save the per-CQ work_done variable in a local variable
before napi_complete_done(), so it won't be corrupted by a possible
concurrent thread after napi_complete_done().
Also, add a flag bit to advertise to the NIC firmware: the NAPI work_done
variable race is fixed, so the driver is able to reliably support features
like busy_poll.

Apparently, the slcan's tx_work is freed while being scheduled. While
slcan_netdev_close() (netdev side) calls flush_work(&sl->tx_work),
slcan_close() (tty side) does not. So when the netdev is never set UP,
but the tty is stuffed with bytes and forced to wakeup write, the work
is scheduled, but never flushed.
So add an additional flush_work() to slcan_close() to be sure the work
is flushed under all circumstances.
The Fixes commit below moved flush_work() from slcan_close() to
slcan_netdev_close(). What was the rationale behind it? Maybe we can
drop the one in slcan_netdev_close()?
I see the same pattern in can327. So it perhaps needs the very same fix.

Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...
This happens because the adding of task_work from io_ring_exit_work()
isn't synchronized with canceling all work items from eg exec. The
execution of the two are ordered in that they are both run by the task
itself, but if io_tctx_exit_cb() is queued while we're canceling all
work items off exec AND gets executed when the task exits to userspace
rather than in the main loop in io_uring_cancel_generic(), then we can
find current->io_uring == NULL and hit the above crash.
It's safe to add this NULL check here, because the execution of the two
paths are done by the task itself.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mdio: fix unbalanced fwnode reference count in mdio_device_release()
There is warning report about of_node refcount leak
while probing mdio device:
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,
of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry:
attach overlay node /spi/soc@0/mdio@710700c0/ethernet@4
In of_mdiobus_register_device(), we increase fwnode refcount
by fwnode_handle_get() before associating the of_node with
mdio device, but it has never been decreased in normal path.
Since that, in mdio_device_release(), it needs to call
fwnode_handle_put() in addition instead of calling kfree()
directly.
After above, just calling mdio_device_free() in the error handle
path of of_mdiobus_register_device() is enough to keep the
refcount balanced.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: cmos: Fix event handler registration ordering issue
Because acpi_install_fixed_event_handler() enables the event
automatically on success, it is incorrect to call it before the
handler routine passed to it is ready to handle events.
Unfortunately, the rtc-cmos driver does exactly the incorrect thing
by calling cmos_wake_setup(), which passes rtc_handler() to
acpi_install_fixed_event_handler(), before cmos_do_probe(), because
rtc_handler() uses dev_get_drvdata() to get to the cmos object
pointer and the driver data pointer is only populated in
cmos_do_probe().
This leads to a NULL pointer dereference in rtc_handler() on boot
if the RTC fixed event happens to be active at the init time.
To address this issue, change the initialization ordering of the
driver so that cmos_wake_setup() is always called after a successful
cmos_do_probe() call.
While at it, change cmos_pnp_probe() to call cmos_do_probe() after
the initial if () statement used for computing the IRQ argument to
be passed to cmos_do_probe() which is cleaner than calling it in
each branch of that if () (local variable "irq" can be of type int,
because it is passed to that function as an argument of type int).
Note that commit 6492fed7d8c9 ("rtc: rtc-cmos: Do not check
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0") caused this issue to affect a larger number
of systems, because previously it only affected systems with
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 set, but it is present regardless of that
commit.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix perf_pending_task() UaF
Per syzbot it is possible for perf_pending_task() to run after the
event is free()'d. There are two related but distinct cases:
- the task_work was already queued before destroying the event;
- destroying the event itself queues the task_work.
The first cannot be solved using task_work_cancel() since
perf_release() itself might be called from a task_work (____fput),
which means the current->task_works list is already empty and
task_work_cancel() won't be able to find the perf_pending_task()
entry.
The simplest alternative is extending the perf_event lifetime to cover
the task_work.
The second is just silly, queueing a task_work while you know the
event is going away makes no sense and is easily avoided by
re-arranging how the event is marked STATE_DEAD and ensuring it goes
through STATE_OFF on the way down.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/netfront: destroy queues before real_num_tx_queues is zeroed
xennet_destroy_queues() relies on info->netdev->real_num_tx_queues to
delete queues. Since d7dac083414eb5bb99a6d2ed53dc2c1b405224e5
("net-sysfs: update the queue counts in the unregistration path"),
unregister_netdev() indirectly sets real_num_tx_queues to 0. Those two
facts together means, that xennet_destroy_queues() called from
xennet_remove() cannot do its job, because it's called after
unregister_netdev(). This results in kfree-ing queues that are still
linked in napi, which ultimately crashes:

Fix this by calling xennet_destroy_queues() from xennet_uninit(),
when real_num_tx_queues is still available. This ensures that queues are
destroyed when real_num_tx_queues is set to 0, regardless of how
unregister_netdev() was called.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-48913

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blktrace: fix use after free for struct blk_trace
When tracing the whole disk, 'dropped' and 'msg' will be created
under 'q->debugfs_dir' and 'bt->dir' is NULL, thus blk_trace_free()
won't remove those files. What's worse, the following UAF can be
triggered because of accessing stale 'dropped' and 'msg':

ASoC: Intel: sof-nau8825: fix module alias overflow
The maximum name length for a platform_device_id entry is 20 characters
including the trailing NUL byte. The sof_nau8825.c file exceeds that,
which causes an obscure error message:
sound/soc/intel/boards/snd-soc-sof_nau8825.mod.c:35:45: error: illegal character encoding in string literal [-Werror,-Winvalid-source-encoding]
MODULE_ALIAS("platform:adl_max98373_nau8825<U+0018><AA>");

I could not figure out how to make the module handling robust enough
to handle this better, but as a quick fix, using slightly shorter
names that are still unique avoids the build issue.

vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries
In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when
start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen
is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0
(vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0,
last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent,
iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.

a range with size 0.
2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
by splitting it into two entries.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix a race on command flush flow
Fix a refcount use after free warning due to a race on command entry.
Such race occurs when one of the commands releases its last refcount and
frees its index and entry while another process running command flush
flow takes refcount to this command entry. The process which handles
commands flush may see this command as needed to be flushed if the other
process released its refcount but didn't release the index yet. Fix it
by adding the needed spin lock.
It fixes the following warning trace:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
swiotlb: fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE
The problem I'm addressing was discovered by the LTP test covering
cve-2018-1000204.
A short description of what happens follows:
1) The test case issues a command code 00 (TEST UNIT READY) via the SG_IO
interface with: dxfer_len == 524288, dxdfer_dir == SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV
and a corresponding dxferp. The peculiar thing about this is that TUR
is not reading from the device.
2) In sg_start_req() the invocation of blk_rq_map_user() effectively
bounces the user-space buffer. As if the device was to transfer into
it. Since commit a45b599ad808 ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in
sg_build_indirect()") we make sure this first bounce buffer is
allocated with GFP_ZERO.
3) For the rest of the story we keep ignoring that we have a TUR, so the
device won't touch the buffer we prepare as if the we had a
DMA_FROM_DEVICE type of situation. My setup uses a virtio-scsi device
and the buffer allocated by SG is mapped by the function
virtqueue_add_split() which uses DMA_FROM_DEVICE for the "in" sgs (here
scatter-gather and not scsi generics). This mapping involves bouncing
via the swiotlb (we need swiotlb to do virtio in protected guest like
s390 Secure Execution, or AMD SEV).
4) When the SCSI TUR is done, we first copy back the content of the second
(that is swiotlb) bounce buffer (which most likely contains some
previous IO data), to the first bounce buffer, which contains all
zeros. Then we copy back the content of the first bounce buffer to
the user-space buffer.
5) The test case detects that the buffer, which it zero-initialized,
ain't all zeros and fails.
One can argue that this is an swiotlb problem, because without swiotlb
we leak all zeros, and the swiotlb should be transparent in a sense that
it does not affect the outcome (if all other participants are well
behaved).
Copying the content of the original buffer into the swiotlb buffer is
the only way I can think of to make swiotlb transparent in such
scenarios. So let's do just that if in doubt, but allow the driver
to tell us that the whole mapped buffer is going to be overwritten,
in which case we can preserve the old behavior and avoid the performance
impact of the extra bounce.

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
The warning complains about an attempt to unregister an
unregistered tracepoint.
This happens on trace-cmd because it first stops tracing, and
then switches the tracer to nop. Which is equivalent to:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo osnoise > current_tracer
# echo 0 > tracing_on
# echo nop > current_tracer
The osnoise tracer stops the workload when no trace instance
is actually collecting data. This can be caused both by
disabling tracing or disabling the tracer itself.
To avoid unregistering events twice, use the existing
trace_osnoise_callback_enabled variable to check if the events
(and the workload) are actually active before trying to
deactivate them.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix hang during reboot/shutdown
Recent commit 974578017fc1 ("iavf: Add waiting so the port is
initialized in remove") adds a wait-loop at the beginning of
iavf_remove() to ensure that port initialization is finished
prior unregistering net device. This causes a regression
in reboot/shutdown scenario because in this case callback
iavf_shutdown() is called and this callback detaches the device,
makes it down if it is running and sets its state to __IAVF_REMOVE.
Later shutdown callback of associated PF driver (e.g. ice_shutdown)
is called. That callback calls among other things sriov_disable()
that calls indirectly iavf_remove() (see stack trace below).
As the adapter state is already __IAVF_REMOVE then the mentioned
loop is end-less and shutdown process hangs.
The patch fixes this by checking adapter's state at the beginning
of iavf_remove() and skips the rest of the function if the adapter
is already in remove state (shutdown is in progress).
Reproducer:
1. Create VF on PF driven by ice or i40e driver
2. Ensure that the VF is bound to iavf driver
3. Reboot

net/packet: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg()
syzbot found that when an AF_PACKET socket is using PACKET_COPY_THRESH
and mmap operations, tpacket_rcv() is queueing skbs with
garbage in skb->cb[], triggering a too big copy [1]
Presumably, users of af_packet using mmap() already gets correct
metadata from the mapped buffer, we can simply make sure
to clear 12 bytes that might be copied to user space later.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-48830

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: isotp: fix potential CAN frame reception race in isotp_rcv()
When receiving a CAN frame the current code logic does not consider
concurrently receiving processes which do not show up in real world
usage.
Ziyang Xuan writes:
The following syz problem is one of the scenarios. so->rx.len is
changed by isotp_rcv_ff() during isotp_rcv_cf(), so->rx.len equals
0 before alloc_skb() and equals 4096 after alloc_skb(). That will
trigger skb_over_panic() in skb_put().

Therefore we make sure the state changes and data structures stay
consistent at CAN frame reception time by adding a spin_lock in
isotp_rcv(). This fixes the issue reported by syzkaller but does not
affect real world operation.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmvnic: don't release napi in __ibmvnic_open()
If __ibmvnic_open() encounters an error such as when setting link state,
it calls release_resources() which frees the napi structures needlessly.
Instead, have __ibmvnic_open() only clean up the work it did so far (i.e.
disable napi and irqs) and leave the rest to the callers.
If caller of __ibmvnic_open() is ibmvnic_open(), it should release the
resources immediately. If the caller is do_reset() or do_hard_reset(),
they will release the resources on the next reset.
This fixes following crash that occurred when running the drmgr command
several times to add/remove a vnic interface:

The reproducer was trying to read /proc/$PID/smaps when calling
MADV_FREE at the mean time. MADV_FREE may split THPs if it is called
for partial THP. It may trigger the below race:
CPU A CPU B
----- -----
smaps walk: MADV_FREE:
page_mapcount()
PageCompound()
split_huge_page()
page = compound_head(page)
PageDoubleMap(page)
When calling PageDoubleMap() this page is not a tail page of THP anymore
so the BUG is triggered.
This could be fixed by elevated refcount of the page before calling
mapcount, but that would prevent it from counting migration entries, and
it seems overkilling because the race just could happen when PMD is
split so all PTE entries of tail pages are actually migration entries,
and smaps_account() does treat migration entries as mapcount == 1 as
Kirill pointed out.
Add a new parameter for smaps_account() to tell this entry is migration
entry then skip calling page_mapcount(). Don't skip getting mapcount
for device private entries since they do track references with mapcount.
Pagemap also has the similar issue although it was not reported. Fixed
it as well.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: don't try to NUMA-migrate COW pages that have other uses
Oded Gabbay reports that enabling NUMA balancing causes corruption with
his Gaudi accelerator test load:
"All the details are in the bug, but the bottom line is that somehow,
this patch causes corruption when the numa balancing feature is
enabled AND we don't use process affinity AND we use GUP to pin pages
so our accelerator can DMA to/from system memory.
Either disabling numa balancing, using process affinity to bind to
specific numa-node or reverting this patch causes the bug to
disappear"
and Oded bisected the issue to commit 09854ba94c6a ("mm: do_wp_page()
simplification").
Now, the NUMA balancing shouldn't actually be changing the writability
of a page, and as such shouldn't matter for COW. But it appears it
does. Suspicious.
However, regardless of that, the condition for enabling NUMA faults in
change_pte_range() is nonsensical. It uses "page_mapcount(page)" to
decide if a COW page should be NUMA-protected or not, and that makes
absolutely no sense.
The number of mappings a page has is irrelevant: not only does GUP get a
reference to a page as in Oded's case, but the other mappings migth be
paged out and the only reference to them would be in the page count.
Since we should never try to NUMA-balance a page that we can't move
anyway due to other references, just fix the code to use 'page_count()'.
Oded confirms that that fixes his issue.
Now, this does imply that something in NUMA balancing ends up changing
page protections (other than the obvious one of making the page
inaccessible to get the NUMA faulting information). Otherwise the COW
simplification wouldn't matter - since doing the GUP on the page would
make sure it's writable.
The cause of that permission change would be good to figure out too,
since it clearly results in spurious COW events - but fixing the
nonsensical test that just happened to work before is obviously the
CorrectThing(tm) to do regardless.

Fix this by setting dev->iommu to NULL first and
then freeing dev_iommu structure in dev_iommu_free

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-48785

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: use rcu-safe version of ipv6_get_lladdr()
Some time ago 8965779d2c0e ("ipv6,mcast: always hold idev->lock before mca_lock")
switched ipv6_get_lladdr() to __ipv6_get_lladdr(), which is rcu-unsafe
version. That was OK, because idev->lock was held for these codepaths.
In 88e2ca308094 ("mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU") these external locks were
removed, so we probably need to restore the original rcu-safe call.
Otherwise, we occasionally get a machine crashed/stalled with the following
in dmesg:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: af_alg - get rid of alg_memory_allocated
alg_memory_allocated does not seem to be really used.
alg_proto does have a .memory_allocated field, but no
corresponding .sysctl_mem.
This means sk_has_account() returns true, but all sk_prot_mem_limits()
users will trigger a NULL dereference [1].
THis was not a problem until SO_RESERVE_MEM addition.

This patch tries to fix it by holding clcsock_release_lock and
checking whether clcsock has already been released before access.
In case that a crash of the same reason happens in smc_getsockopt()
or smc_switch_to_fallback(), this patch also checkes smc->clcsock
in them too. And the caller of smc_switch_to_fallback() will identify
whether fallback succeeds according to the return value.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Avoid field-overflowing memcpy()
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.
Use flexible arrays instead of zero-element arrays (which look like they
are always overflowing) and split the cross-field memcpy() into two halves
that can be appropriately bounds-checked by the compiler.
We were doing:
#define ETH_HLEN 14
#define VLAN_HLEN 4
...
#define MLX5E_XDP_MIN_INLINE (ETH_HLEN + VLAN_HLEN)
...
struct mlx5e_tx_wqe *wqe = mlx5_wq_cyc_get_wqe(wq, pi);
...
struct mlx5_wqe_eth_seg *eseg = &wqe->eth;
struct mlx5_wqe_data_seg *dseg = wqe->data;
...
memcpy(eseg->inline_hdr.start, xdptxd->data, MLX5E_XDP_MIN_INLINE);
target is wqe->eth.inline_hdr.start (which the compiler sees as being
2 bytes in size), but copying 18, intending to write across start
(really vlan_tci, 2 bytes). The remaining 16 bytes get written into
wqe->data[0], covering byte_count (4 bytes), lkey (4 bytes), and addr
(8 bytes).
struct mlx5e_tx_wqe {
struct mlx5_wqe_ctrl_seg ctrl; /* 0 16 */
struct mlx5_wqe_eth_seg eth; /* 16 16 */
struct mlx5_wqe_data_seg data[]; /* 32 0 */
/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};
struct mlx5_wqe_eth_seg {
u8 swp_outer_l4_offset; /* 0 1 */
u8 swp_outer_l3_offset; /* 1 1 */
u8 swp_inner_l4_offset; /* 2 1 */
u8 swp_inner_l3_offset; /* 3 1 */
u8 cs_flags; /* 4 1 */
u8 swp_flags; /* 5 1 */
__be16 mss; /* 6 2 */
__be32 flow_table_metadata; /* 8 4 */
union {
struct {
__be16 sz; /* 12 2 */
u8 start[2]; /* 14 2 */
} inline_hdr; /* 12 4 */
struct {
__be16 type; /* 12 2 */
__be16 vlan_tci; /* 14 2 */
} insert; /* 12 4 */
__be32 trailer; /* 12 4 */
}; /* 12 4 */
/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
struct mlx5_wqe_data_seg {
__be32 byte_count; /* 0 4 */
__be32 lkey; /* 4 4 */
__be64 addr; /* 8 8 */
/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
So, split the memcpy() so the compiler can reason about the buffer
sizes.
"pahole" shows no size nor member offset changes to struct mlx5e_tx_wqe
nor struct mlx5e_umr_wqe. "objdump -d" shows no meaningful object
code changes (i.e. only source line number induced differences and
optimizations).

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net, neigh: Do not trigger immediate probes on NUD_FAILED from neigh_managed_work
syzkaller was able to trigger a deadlock for NTF_MANAGED entries [0]:
kworker/0:16/14617 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8d4dd370 (&tbl->lock){++-.}-{2:2}, at: ___neigh_create+0x9e1/0x2990 net/core/neighbour.c:652

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8d4dd370 (&tbl->lock){++-.}-{2:2}, at: neigh_managed_work+0x35/0x250 net/core/neighbour.c:1572
The neighbor entry turned to NUD_FAILED state, where __neigh_event_send()
triggered an immediate probe as per commit cd28ca0a3dd1 ("neigh: reduce
arp latency") via neigh_probe() given table lock was held.
One option to fix this situation is to defer the neigh_probe() back to
the neigh_timer_handler() similarly as pre cd28ca0a3dd1. For the case
of NTF_MANAGED, this deferral is acceptable given this only happens on
actual failure state and regular / expected state is NUD_VALID with the
entry already present.
The fix adds a parameter to __neigh_event_send() in order to communicate
whether immediate probe is allowed or disallowed. Existing call-sites
of neigh_event_send() default as-is to immediate probe. However, the
neigh_managed_work() disables it via use of neigh_event_send_probe().

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-48653

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Don't double unplug aux on peer initiated reset
In the IDC callback that is accessed when the aux drivers request a reset,
the function to unplug the aux devices is called. This function is also
called in the ice_prepare_for_reset function. This double call is causing
a "scheduling while atomic" BUG.

ice: Fix crash by keep old cfg when update TCs more than queues
There are problems if allocated queues less than Traffic Classes.
Commit a632b2a4c920 ("ice: ethtool: Prohibit improper channel config
for DCB") already disallow setting less queues than TCs.
Another case is if we first set less queues, and later update more TCs
config due to LLDP, ice_vsi_cfg_tc() will failed but left dirty
num_txq/rxq and tc_cfg in vsi, that will cause invalid pointer access.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: taprio: avoid disabling offload when it was never enabled
In an incredibly strange API design decision, qdisc->destroy() gets
called even if qdisc->init() never succeeded, not exclusively since
commit 87b60cfacf9f ("net_sched: fix error recovery at qdisc creation"),
but apparently also earlier (in the case of qdisc_create_dflt()).
The taprio qdisc does not fully acknowledge this when it attempts full
offload, because it starts off with q->flags = TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID in
taprio_init(), then it replaces q->flags with TCA_TAPRIO_ATTR_FLAGS
parsed from netlink (in taprio_change(), tail called from taprio_init()).
But in taprio_destroy(), we call taprio_disable_offload(), and this
determines what to do based on FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED(q->flags).
But looking at the implementation of FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED()
(a bitwise check of bit 1 in q->flags), it is invalid to call this macro
on q->flags when it contains TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID, because that is set
to U32_MAX, and therefore FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED() will return true on
an invalid set of flags.
As a result, it is possible to crash the kernel if user space forces an
error between setting q->flags = TAPRIO_FLAGS_INVALID, and the calling
of taprio_enable_offload(). This is because drivers do not expect the
offload to be disabled when it was never enabled.
The error that we force here is to attach taprio as a non-root qdisc,
but instead as child of an mqprio root qdisc:
$ tc qdisc add dev swp0 root handle 1: \

Fix this by keeping track of the operations we made, and undo the
offload only if we actually did it.
I've added "bool offloaded" inside a 4 byte hole between "int clockid"
and "atomic64_t picos_per_byte". Now the first cache line looks like
below:

The lock held by ctrl_cdev_ioctl is ubi_devices_mutex, but the lock held
by ubi_cdev_ioctl is ubi->device_mutex. Therefore, the two locks can be
concurrent.
ctrl_cdev_ioctl contains two operations: ubi_attach and ubi_detach.
ubi_detach is bug-free because it uses reference counting to prevent
concurrency. However, uif_init and uif_close in ubi_attach may race with
ubi_cdev_ioctl.
uif_init will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack.

The cause of this problem is that commit 714fb87e8bc0 make device
"available" before it becomes accessible via sysfs. Therefore, we
roll back the modification. We will fix the race condition between
ubi device creation and udev by removing ubi_get_device in
vol_attribute_show and dev_attribute_show.This avoids accessing
uninitialized ubi_devices[ubi_num].
ubi_get_device is used to prevent devices from being deleted during
sysfs execution. However, now kernfs ensures that devices will not
be deleted before all reference counting are released.

powerpc/set_memory: Avoid spinlock recursion in change_page_attr()
Commit 1f9ad21c3b38 ("powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines")
included a spin_lock() to change_page_attr() in order to
safely perform the three step operations. But then
commit 9f7853d7609d ("powerpc/mm: Fix set_memory_*() against
concurrent accesses") modify it to use pte_update() and do
the operation safely against concurrent access.
In the meantime, Maxime reported some spinlock recursion.

Remove the read / modify / write sequence to make the operation atomic
and remove the spin_lock() in change_page_attr().
To do the operation atomically, we can't use pte modification helpers
anymore. Because all platforms have different combination of bits, it
is not easy to use those bits directly. But all have the
_PAGE_KERNEL_{RO/ROX/RW/RWX} set of flags. All we need it to compare
two sets to know which bits are set or cleared.
For instance, by comparing _PAGE_KERNEL_ROX and _PAGE_KERNEL_RO you
know which bit gets cleared and which bit get set when changing exec
permission.

i2c: virtio: disable timeout handling
If a timeout is hit, it can result is incorrect data on the I2C bus
and/or memory corruptions in the guest since the device can still be
operating on the buffers it was given while the guest has freed them.
Here is, for example, the start of a slub_debug splat which was
triggered on the next transfer after one transfer was forced to timeout
by setting a breakpoint in the backend (rust-vmm/vhost-device):

There is no simple fix for this (the driver would have to always create
bounce buffers and hold on to them until the device eventually returns
the buffers), so just disable the timeout support for now.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix stack handling in idle_kvm_start_guest()
In commit 10d91611f426 ("powerpc/64s: Reimplement book3s idle code in
C") kvm_start_guest() became idle_kvm_start_guest(). The old code
allocated a stack frame on the emergency stack, but didn't use the
frame to store anything, and also didn't store anything in its caller's
frame.
idle_kvm_start_guest() on the other hand is written more like a normal C
function, it creates a frame on entry, and also stores CR/LR into its
callers frame (per the ABI). The problem is that there is no caller
frame on the emergency stack.
The emergency stack for a given CPU is allocated with:
paca_ptrs[i]->emergency_sp = alloc_stack(limit, i) + THREAD_SIZE;
So emergency_sp actually points to the first address above the emergency
stack allocation for a given CPU, we must not store above it without
first decrementing it to create a frame. This is different to the
regular kernel stack, paca->kstack, which is initialised to point at an
initial frame that is ready to use.
idle_kvm_start_guest() stores the backchain, CR and LR all of which
write outside the allocation for the emergency stack. It then creates a
stack frame and saves the non-volatile registers. Unfortunately the
frame it creates is not large enough to fit the non-volatiles, and so
the saving of the non-volatile registers also writes outside the
emergency stack allocation.
The end result is that we corrupt whatever is at 0-24 bytes, and 112-248
bytes above the emergency stack allocation.
In practice this has gone unnoticed because the memory immediately above
the emergency stack happens to be used for other stack allocations,
either another CPUs mc_emergency_sp or an IRQ stack. See the order of
calls to irqstack_early_init() and emergency_stack_init().
The low addresses of another stack are the top of that stack, and so are
only used if that stack is under extreme pressue, which essentially
never happens in practice - and if it did there's a high likelyhood we'd
crash due to that stack overflowing.
Still, we shouldn't be corrupting someone else's stack, and it is purely
luck that we aren't corrupting something else.
To fix it we save CR/LR into the caller's frame using the existing r1 on
entry, we then create a SWITCH_FRAME_SIZE frame (which has space for
pt_regs) on the emergency stack with the backchain pointing to the
existing stack, and then finally we switch to the new frame on the
emergency stack.

Description:

ice: fix locking for Tx timestamp tracking flush
Commit 4dd0d5c33c3e ("ice: add lock around Tx timestamp tracker flush")
added a lock around the Tx timestamp tracker flow which is used to
cleanup any left over SKBs and prepare for device removal.
This lock is problematic because it is being held around a call to
ice_clear_phy_tstamp. The clear function takes a mutex to send a PHY
write command to firmware. This could lead to a deadlock if the mutex
actually sleeps, and causes the following warning on a kernel with
preemption debugging enabled:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix page leak
There's a loop in afs_extend_writeback() that adds extra pages to a write
we want to make to improve the efficiency of the writeback by making it
larger. This loop stops, however, if we hit a page we can't write back
from immediately, but it doesn't get rid of the page ref we speculatively
acquired.
This was caused by the removal of the cleanup loop when the code switched
from using find_get_pages_contig() to xarray scanning as the latter only
gets a single page at a time, not a batch.
Fix this by putting the page on a ref on an early break from the loop.
Unfortunately, we can't just add that page to the pagevec we're employing
as we'll go through that and add those pages to the RPC call.
This was found by the generic/074 test. It leaks ~4GiB of RAM each time it
is run - which can be observed with "top".

scheduler_tick()) may end up using a pointer to "struct
scale_freq_data", which was previously cleared by
topology_clear_scale_freq_source(), as there is no protection in place
here. The users of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() though needs a
guarantee that the previously cleared scale_freq_data isn't used
anymore, so they can free the related resources.
Since topology_scale_freq_tick() is called from scheduler tick, we don't
want to add locking in there. Use the RCU update mechanism instead
(which is already used by the scheduler's utilization update path) to
guarantee race free updates here.
synchronize_rcu() makes sure that all RCU critical sections that started
before it is called, will finish before it returns. And so the callers
of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() don't need to worry about their
callback getting called anymore.

Security Advisory: CVE-2021-47275

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcache: avoid oversized read request in cache missing code path
In the cache missing code path of cached device, if a proper location
from the internal B+ tree is matched for a cache miss range, function
cached_dev_cache_miss() will be called in cache_lookup_fn() in the
following code block,
[code block 1]
526 unsigned int sectors = KEY_INODE(k) == s->iop.inode
527 ? min_t(uint64_t, INT_MAX,
528 KEY_START(k) - bio->bi_iter.bi_sector)
529 : INT_MAX;
530 int ret = s->d->cache_miss(b, s, bio, sectors);
Here s->d->cache_miss() is the call backfunction pointer initialized as
cached_dev_cache_miss(), the last parameter 'sectors' is an important
hint to calculate the size of read request to backing device of the
missing cache data.
Current calculation in above code block may generate oversized value of
'sectors', which consequently may trigger 2 different potential kernel
panics by BUG() or BUG_ON() as listed below,
1) BUG_ON() inside bch_btree_insert_key(),
[code block 2]
886 BUG_ON(b->ops->is_extents && !KEY_SIZE(k));
2) BUG() inside biovec_slab(),
[code block 3]
51 default:
52 BUG();
53 return NULL;
All the above panics are original from cached_dev_cache_miss() by the
oversized parameter 'sectors'.
Inside cached_dev_cache_miss(), parameter 'sectors' is used to calculate
the size of data read from backing device for the cache missing. This
size is stored in s->insert_bio_sectors by the following lines of code,
[code block 4]
909 s->insert_bio_sectors = min(sectors, bio_sectors(bio) + reada);
Then the actual key inserting to the internal B+ tree is generated and
stored in s->iop.replace_key by the following lines of code,
[code block 5]
911 s->iop.replace_key = KEY(s->iop.inode,
912 bio->bi_iter.bi_sector + s->insert_bio_sectors,
913 s->insert_bio_sectors);
The oversized parameter 'sectors' may trigger panic 1) by BUG_ON() from
the above code block.
And the bio sending to backing device for the missing data is allocated
with hint from s->insert_bio_sectors by the following lines of code,
[code block 6]
926 cache_bio = bio_alloc_bioset(GFP_NOWAIT,
927 DIV_ROUND_UP(s->insert_bio_sectors, PAGE_SECTORS),
928 &dc->disk.bio_split);
The oversized parameter 'sectors' may trigger panic 2) by BUG() from the
agove code block.
Now let me explain how the panics happen with the oversized 'sectors'.
In code block 5, replace_key is generated by macro KEY(). From the
definition of macro KEY(),
[code block 7]
71 #define KEY(inode, offset, size) \
72 ((struct bkey) { \
73 .high = (1ULL << 63) | ((__u64) (size) << 20) | (inode), \
74 .low = (offset) \
75 })
Here 'size' is 16bits width embedded in 64bits member 'high' of struct
bkey. But in code block 1, if "KEY_START(k) - bio->bi_iter.bi_sector" is
very probably to be larger than (1<<16) - 1, which makes the bkey size
calculation in code block 5 is overflowed. In one bug report the value
of parameter 'sectors' is 131072 (= 1 << 17), the overflowed 'sectors'
results the overflowed s->insert_bio_sectors in code block 4, then makes
size field of s->iop.replace_key to be 0 in code block 5. Then the 0-
sized s->iop.replace_key is inserted into the internal B+ tree as cache
missing check key (a special key to detect and avoid a racing between
normal write request and cache missing read request) as,
[code block 8]
915 ret = bch_btree_insert_check_key(b, &s->op, &s->iop.replace_key);
Then the 0-sized s->iop.replace_key as 3rd parameter triggers the bkey
size check BUG_ON() in code block 2, and causes the kernel panic 1).

In commit 24803f38a5c0 ("igmp: do not remove igmp souce list info when set
link down"), the ip_mc_clear_src() in ip_mc_destroy_dev() was removed,
because it was also called in igmpv3_clear_delrec().
Rough callgraph:
inetdev_destroy
-> ip_mc_destroy_dev
-> igmpv3_clear_delrec
-> ip_mc_clear_src
-> RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->ip_ptr, NULL)
However, ip_mc_clear_src() called in igmpv3_clear_delrec() doesn't
release in_dev->mc_list->sources. And RCU_INIT_POINTER() assigns the
NULL to dev->ip_ptr. As a result, in_dev cannot be obtained through
inetdev_by_index() and then in_dev->mc_list->sources cannot be released
by ip_mc_del1_src() in the sock_close. Rough call sequence goes like:
sock_close
-> __sock_release
-> inet_release
-> ip_mc_drop_socket
-> inetdev_by_index
-> ip_mc_leave_src
-> ip_mc_del_src
-> ip_mc_del1_src
So we still need to call ip_mc_clear_src() in ip_mc_destroy_dev() to free
in_dev->mc_list->sources.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Immediately reset the MMU context when the SMM flag is cleared
Immediately reset the MMU context when the vCPU's SMM flag is cleared so
that the SMM flag in the MMU role is always synchronized with the vCPU's
flag. If RSM fails (which isn't correctly emulated), KVM will bail
without calling post_leave_smm() and leave the MMU in a bad state.
The bad MMU role can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when grabbing a
shadow page's rmap for a page fault as the initial lookups for the gfn
will happen with the vCPU's SMM flag (=0), whereas the rmap lookup will
use the shadow page's SMM flag, which comes from the MMU (=1). SMM has
an entirely different set of memslots, and so the initial lookup can find
a memslot (SMM=0) and then explode on the rmap memslot lookup (SMM=1).

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fpu: Prevent state corruption in __fpu__restore_sig()
The non-compacted slowpath uses __copy_from_user() and copies the entire
user buffer into the kernel buffer, verbatim. This means that the kernel
buffer may now contain entirely invalid state on which XRSTOR will #GP.
validate_user_xstate_header() can detect some of that corruption, but that
leaves the onus on callers to clear the buffer.
Prior to XSAVES support, it was possible just to reinitialize the buffer,
completely, but with supervisor states that is not longer possible as the
buffer clearing code split got it backwards. Fixing that is possible but
not corrupting the state in the first place is more robust.
Avoid corruption of the kernel XSAVE buffer by using copy_user_to_xstate()
which validates the XSAVE header contents before copying the actual states
to the kernel. copy_user_to_xstate() was previously only called for
compacted-format kernel buffers, but it works for both compacted and
non-compacted forms.
Using it for the non-compacted form is slower because of multiple
__copy_from_user() operations, but that cost is less important than robust
code in an already slow path.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hugetlb, userfaultfd: fix reservation restore on userfaultfd error
Currently in the is_continue case in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte(), if we
bail out using "goto out_release_unlock;" in the cases where idx >=
size, or !huge_pte_none(), the code will detect that new_pagecache_page
== false, and so call restore_reserve_on_error(). In this case I see
restore_reserve_on_error() delete the reservation, and the following
call to remove_inode_hugepages() will increment h->resv_hugepages
causing a 100% reproducible leak.
We should treat the is_continue case similar to adding a page into the
pagecache and set new_pagecache_page to true, to indicate that there is
no reservation to restore on the error path, and we need not call
restore_reserve_on_error(). Rename new_pagecache_page to
page_in_pagecache to make that clear.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: VMX: Always clear vmx->fail on emulation_required
Revert a relatively recent change that set vmx->fail if the vCPU is in L2
and emulation_required is true, as that behavior is completely bogus.
Setting vmx->fail and synthesizing a VM-Exit is contradictory and wrong:
(a) it's impossible to have both a VM-Fail and VM-Exit
(b) vmcs.EXIT_REASON is not modified on VM-Fail
(c) emulation_required refers to guest state and guest state checks are
always VM-Exits, not VM-Fails.
For KVM specifically, emulation_required is handled before nested exits
in __vmx_handle_exit(), thus setting vmx->fail has no immediate effect,
i.e. KVM calls into handle_invalid_guest_state() and vmx->fail is ignored.
Setting vmx->fail can ultimately result in a WARN in nested_vmx_vmexit()
firing when tearing down the VM as KVM never expects vmx->fail to be set
when L2 is active, KVM always reflects those errors into L1.

Security Advisory: CVE-2021-46999

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: do asoc update earlier in sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a
There's a panic that occurs in a few of envs, the call trace is as below:
[] general protection fault, ... 0x29acd70f1000a: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
[] RIP: 0010:sctp_ulpevent_notify_peer_addr_change+0x4b/0x1fa [sctp]

[] sctp_do_sm+0xc3/0x2a0 [sctp]
[] sctp_generate_timeout_event+0x81/0xf0 [sctp]
This is caused by a transport use-after-free issue. When processing a
duplicate COOKIE-ECHO chunk in sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a(), both COOKIE-ACK
and SHUTDOWN chunks are allocated with the transort from the new asoc.
However, later in the sideeffect machine, the old asoc is used to send
them out and old asoc's shutdown_last_sent_to is set to the transport
that SHUTDOWN chunk attached to in sctp_cmd_setup_t2(), which actually
belongs to the new asoc. After the new_asoc is freed and the old asoc
T2 timeout, the old asoc's shutdown_last_sent_to that is already freed
would be accessed in sctp_sf_t2_timer_expire().
Thanks Alexander and Jere for helping dig into this issue.
To fix it, this patch is to do the asoc update first, then allocate
the COOKIE-ACK and SHUTDOWN chunks with the 'updated' old asoc. This
would make more sense, as a chunk from an asoc shouldn't be sent out
with another asoc. We had fixed quite a few issues caused by this.

ftrace_mod_get_kallsym()
...
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
...
The problem is when a module triggers an issue with ftrace and
sets ftrace_disable. The ftrace_disable is set when an anomaly is
discovered and to prevent any more damage, ftrace stops all text
modification. The issue that happened was that the ftrace_disable stops
more than just the text modification.
When a module is loaded, its init functions can also be traced. Because
kallsyms deletes the init functions after a module has loaded, ftrace
saves them when the module is loaded and function tracing is enabled. This
allows the output of the function trace to show the init function names
instead of just their raw memory addresses.
When a module is removed, ftrace_release_mod() is called, and if
ftrace_disable is set, it just returns without doing anything more. The
problem here is that it leaves the mod_list still around and if kallsyms
is called, it will call into this code and access the module memory that
has already been freed as it will return:
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
Where the "mod" no longer exists and triggers a UAF bug.

ACPICA: fix acpi operand cache leak in dswstate.c
ACPICA commit 987a3b5cf7175916e2a4b6ea5b8e70f830dfe732
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_
delete() function miscalculated the top of the stack. acpi_ds_obj_stack_push()
function uses walk_state->operand_index for start position of the top, but
acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_delete() function considers index 0 for it.
Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-38268

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: move tcpm_queue_vdm_unlocked to asynchronous work
A state check was previously added to tcpm_queue_vdm_unlocked to
prevent a deadlock where the DisplayPort Alt Mode driver would be
executing work and attempting to grab the tcpm_lock while the TCPM
was holding the lock and attempting to unregister the altmode, blocking
on the altmode driver's cancel_work_sync call.
Because the state check isn't protected, there is a small window
where the Alt Mode driver could determine that the TCPM is
in a ready state and attempt to grab the lock while the
TCPM grabs the lock and changes the TCPM state to one that
causes the deadlock. The callstack is provided below:

return fbcon_registered_fb[con2fb_map[console]];
If con2fb_map contains a -1 things go wrong here. Instead, return NULL,
as callers of fbcon_info_from_console() are trying to compare against
existing "info" pointers, so error handling should kick in correctly.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64/fpsimd: Discard stale CPU state when handling SME traps
The logic for handling SME traps manipulates saved FPSIMD/SVE/SME state
incorrectly, and a race with preemption can result in a task having
TIF_SME set and TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE clear even though the live CPU state
is stale (e.g. with SME traps enabled). This can result in warnings from
do_sme_acc() where SME traps are not expected while TIF_SME is set:
| /* With TIF_SME userspace shouldn't generate any traps */
| if (test_and_set_thread_flag(TIF_SME))
| WARN_ON(1);
This is very similar to the SVE issue we fixed in commit:
751ecf6afd6568ad ("arm64/sve: Discard stale CPU state when handling SVE traps")
The race can occur when the SME trap handler is preempted before and
after manipulating the saved FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, starting and ending on
the same CPU, e.g.
| void do_sme_acc(unsigned long esr, struct pt_regs *regs)
| {
| // Trap on CPU 0 with TIF_SME clear, SME traps enabled
| // task->fpsimd_cpu is 0.
| // per_cpu_ptr(&fpsimd_last_state, 0) is task.
|
| ...
|
| // Preempted; migrated from CPU 0 to CPU 1.
| // TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set.
|
| get_cpu_fpsimd_context();
|
| /* With TIF_SME userspace shouldn't generate any traps */
| if (test_and_set_thread_flag(TIF_SME))
| WARN_ON(1);
|
| if (!test_thread_flag(TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE)) {
| unsigned long vq_minus_one =
| sve_vq_from_vl(task_get_sme_vl(current)) - 1;
| sme_set_vq(vq_minus_one);
|
| fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu();
| }
|
| put_cpu_fpsimd_context();
|
| // Preempted; migrated from CPU 1 to CPU 0.
| // task->fpsimd_cpu is still 0
| // If per_cpu_ptr(&fpsimd_last_state, 0) is still task then:
| // - Stale HW state is reused (with SME traps enabled)
| // - TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is cleared
| // - A return to userspace skips HW state restore
| }
Fix the case where the state is not live and TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set
by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state() to detach from the saved CPU
state. This ensures that a subsequent context switch will not reuse the
stale CPU state, and will instead set TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE, forcing the
new state to be reloaded from memory prior to a return to userspace.
Note: this was originallly posted as [1].

After calling bpf_exec_tx_verdict(), the size of msg_pl->sg may increase,
e.g., when the BPF program executes bpf_msg_push_data().
If the BPF program sets cork_bytes and sg.size is smaller than cork_bytes,
it will return -ENOSPC and attempt to roll back to the non-zero copy
logic. However, during rollback, msg->msg_iter is reset, but since
msg_pl->sg.size has been increased, subsequent executions will exceed the
actual size of msg_iter.
'''
iov_iter_revert(&msg->msg_iter, msg_pl->sg.size - orig_size);
'''
The changes in this commit are based on the following considerations:
1. When cork_bytes is set, rolling back to non-zero copy logic is
pointless and can directly go to zero-copy logic.
2. We can not calculate the correct number of bytes to revert msg_iter.
Assume the original data is "abcdefgh" (8 bytes), and after 3 pushes
by the BPF program, it becomes 11-byte data: "abc?de?fgh?".
Then, we set cork_bytes to 6, which means the first 6 bytes have been
processed, and the remaining 5 bytes "?fgh?" will be cached until the
length meets the cork_bytes requirement.
However, some data in "?fgh?" is not within 'sg->msg_iter'
(but in msg_pl instead), especially the data "?" we pushed.
So it doesn't seem as simple as just reverting through an offset of
msg_iter.
3. For non-TLS sockets in tcp_bpf_sendmsg, when a "cork" situation occurs,
the user-space send() doesn't return an error, and the returned length is
the same as the input length parameter, even if some data is cached.
Additionally, I saw that the current non-zero-copy logic for handling
corking is written as:
'''
line 1177
else if (ret != -EAGAIN) {
if (ret == -ENOSPC)
ret = 0;
goto send_end;
'''
So it's ok to just return 'copied' without error when a "cork" situation
occurs.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: tegra: xusb: Use a bitmask for UTMI pad power state tracking
The current implementation uses bias_pad_enable as a reference count to
manage the shared bias pad for all UTMI PHYs. However, during system
suspension with connected USB devices, multiple power-down requests for
the UTMI pad result in a mismatch in the reference count, which in turn
produces warnings such as:
[ 237.762967] WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 1618 at tegra186_utmi_pad_power_down+0x160/0x170

[ 237.763135] pm_suspend+0x1ec/0x270
The root cause was traced back to the dynamic power-down changes
introduced in commit a30951d31b25 ("xhci: tegra: USB2 pad power controls"),
where the UTMI pad was being powered down without verifying its current
state. This unbalanced behavior led to discrepancies in the reference
count.
To rectify this issue, this patch replaces the single reference counter
with a bitmask, renamed to utmi_pad_enabled. Each bit in the mask
corresponds to one of the four USB2 PHYs, allowing us to track each pad's
enablement status individually.
With this change:
- The bias pad is powered on only when the mask is clear.
- Each UTMI pad is powered on or down based on its corresponding bit
in the mask, preventing redundant operations.
- The overall power state of the shared bias pad is maintained
correctly during suspend/resume cycles.
The mutex used to prevent race conditions during UTMI pad enable/disable
operations has been moved from the tegra186_utmi_bias_pad_power_on/off
functions to the parent functions tegra186_utmi_pad_power_on/down. This
change ensures that there are no race conditions when updating the bitmask.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: allow MDIO bus PM ops to start/stop state machine for phylink-controlled PHY
DSA has 2 kinds of drivers:
1. Those who call dsa_switch_suspend() and dsa_switch_resume() from
their device PM ops: qca8k-8xxx, bcm_sf2, microchip ksz
2. Those who don't: all others. The above methods should be optional.
For type 1, dsa_switch_suspend() calls dsa_user_suspend() -> phylink_stop(),
and dsa_switch_resume() calls dsa_user_resume() -> phylink_start().
These seem good candidates for setting mac_managed_pm = true because
that is essentially its definition [1], but that does not seem to be the
biggest problem for now, and is not what this change focuses on.
Talking strictly about the 2nd category of DSA drivers here (which
do not have MAC managed PM, meaning that for their attached PHYs,
mdio_bus_phy_suspend() and mdio_bus_phy_resume() should run in full),
I have noticed that the following warning from mdio_bus_phy_resume() is
triggered:
WARN_ON(phydev->state != PHY_HALTED && phydev->state != PHY_READY &&
phydev->state != PHY_UP);
because the PHY state machine is running.
It's running as a result of a previous dsa_user_open() -> ... ->
phylink_start() -> phy_start() having been initiated by the user.
The previous mdio_bus_phy_suspend() was supposed to have called
phy_stop_machine(), but it didn't. So this is why the PHY is in state
PHY_NOLINK by the time mdio_bus_phy_resume() runs.
mdio_bus_phy_suspend() did not call phy_stop_machine() because for
phylink, the phydev->adjust_link function pointer is NULL. This seems a
technicality introduced by commit fddd91016d16 ("phylib: fix PAL state
machine restart on resume"). That commit was written before phylink
existed, and was intended to avoid crashing with consumer drivers which
don't use the PHY state machine - phylink always does, when using a PHY.
But phylink itself has historically not been developed with
suspend/resume in mind, and apparently not tested too much in that
scenario, allowing this bug to exist unnoticed for so long. Plus, prior
to the WARN_ON(), it would have likely been invisible.
This issue is not in fact restricted to type 2 DSA drivers (according to
the above ad-hoc classification), but can be extrapolated to any MAC
driver with phylink and MDIO-bus-managed PHY PM ops. DSA is just where
the issue was reported. Assuming mac_managed_pm is set correctly, a
quick search indicates the following other drivers might be affected:
$ grep -Zlr PHYLINK_NETDEV drivers/ | xargs -0 grep -L mac_managed_pm
drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/ag71xx.c
drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/sparx5/sparx5_main.c

drivers/net/ethernet/tehuti/tn40_phy.c
drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_net.c
Make the existing conditions dependent on the PHY device having a
phydev->phy_link_change() implementation equal to the default
phy_link_change() provided by phylib. Otherwise, we implicitly know that
the phydev has the phylink-provided phylink_phy_change() callback, and
when phylink is used, the PHY state machine always needs to be stopped/
started on the suspend/resume path. The code is structured as such that
if phydev->phy_link_change() is absent, it is a matter of time until the
kernel will crash - no need to further complicate the test.
Thus, for the situation where the PM is not managed b

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/intel: KVM: Mask PEBS_ENABLE loaded for guest with vCPU's value.
When generating the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE value that will be loaded on
VM-Entry to a KVM guest, mask the value with the vCPU's desired PEBS_ENABLE
value. Consulting only the host kernel's host vs. guest masks results in
running the guest with PEBS enabled even when the guest doesn't want to use
PEBS. Because KVM uses perf events to proxy the guest virtual PMU, simply
looking at exclude_host can't differentiate between events created by host
userspace, and events created by KVM on behalf of the guest.
Running the guest with PEBS unexpectedly enabled typically manifests as
crashes due to a near-infinite stream of #PFs. E.g. if the guest hasn't
written MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, the CPU will hit page faults on address '0' when
trying to record PEBS events.
The issue is most easily reproduced by running `perf kvm top` from before
commit 7b100989b4f6 ("perf evlist: Remove __evlist__add_default") (after
which, `perf kvm top` effectively stopped using PEBS).The userspace side
of perf creates a guest-only PEBS event, which intel_guest_get_msrs()
misconstrues a guest-*owned* PEBS event.
Arguably, this is a userspace bug, as enabling PEBS on guest-only events
simply cannot work, and userspace can kill VMs in many other ways (there
is no danger to the host). However, even if this is considered to be bad
userspace behavior, there's zero downside to perf/KVM restricting PEBS to
guest-owned events.
Note, commit 854250329c02 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Disable guest PEBS temporarily
in two rare situations") fixed the case where host userspace is profiling
KVM *and* userspace, but missed the case where userspace is profiling only
KVM.

This is because the LVCMDQ queue memory are managed by devres, while that
dmam_free_coherent() is called in the context of devm_action_release().
Jason pointed out that "arm_smmu_impl_probe() has mis-ordered the devres
callbacks if ops->device_remove() is going to be manually freeing things
that probe allocated":
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20250407174408.GB1722458@nvidia.com/
In fact, tegra241_cmdqv_init_structures() only allocates memory resources
which means any failure that it generates would be similar to -ENOMEM, so
there is no point in having that "falling back to standard SMMU" routine,
as the standard SMMU would likely fail to allocate memory too.
Remove the unwind part in tegra241_cmdqv_init_structures(), and return a
proper error code to ask SMMU driver to call tegra241_cmdqv_remove() via
impl_ops->device_remove(). Then, drop tegra241_vintf_free_lvcmdq() since
devres will take care of that.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Purge vif txq in ieee80211_do_stop()
After ieee80211_do_stop() SKB from vif's txq could still be processed.
Indeed another concurrent vif schedule_and_wake_txq call could cause
those packets to be dequeued (see ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue())
without checking the sdata current state.
Because vif.drv_priv is now cleared in this function, this could lead to
driver crash.
For example in ath12k, ahvif is store in vif.drv_priv. Thus if
ath12k_mac_op_tx() is called after ieee80211_do_stop(), ahvif->ah can be
NULL, leading the ath12k_warn(ahvif->ah,...) call in this function to
trigger the NULL deref below.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-37743

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Avoid memory leak while enabling statistics
Driver uses monitor destination rings for extended statistics mode and
standalone monitor mode. In extended statistics mode, TLVs are parsed from
the buffer received from the monitor destination ring and assigned to the
ppdu_info structure to update per-packet statistics. In standalone monitor
mode, along with per-packet statistics, the packet data (payload) is
captured, and the driver updates per MSDU to mac80211.
When the AP interface is enabled, only extended statistics mode is
activated. As part of enabling monitor rings for collecting statistics,
the driver subscribes to HAL_RX_MPDU_START TLV in the filter
configuration. This TLV is received from the monitor destination ring, and
kzalloc for the mon_mpdu object occurs, which is not freed, leading to a
memory leak. The kzalloc for the mon_mpdu object is only required while
enabling the standalone monitor interface. This causes a memory leak while
enabling extended statistics mode in the driver.
Fix this memory leak by removing the kzalloc for the mon_mpdu object in
the HAL_RX_MPDU_START TLV handling. Additionally, remove the standalone
monitor mode handlings in the HAL_MON_BUF_ADDR and HAL_RX_MSDU_END TLVs.
These TLV tags will be handled properly when enabling standalone monitor
mode in the future.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-26603

Description:

Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Vim allows to redirect screen messages using the `:redir` ex command to register, variables and files. It also allows to show the contents of registers using the `:registers` or `:display` ex command. When redirecting the output of `:display` to a register, Vim will free the register content before storing the new content in the register. Now when redirecting the `:display` command to a register that is being displayed, Vim will free the content while shortly afterwards trying to access it, which leads to a use-after-free. Vim pre 9.1.1115 checks in the ex_display() function, that it does not try to redirect to a register while displaying this register at the same time. However this check is not complete, and so Vim does not check the `+` and `*` registers (which typically donate the X11/clipboard registers, and when a clipboard connection is not possible will fall back to use register 0 instead. In Patch 9.1.1115 Vim will therefore skip outputting to register zero when trying to redirect to the clipboard registers `*` or `+`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: Clear affinity hint before calling ath11k_pcic_free_irq() in error path
If a shared IRQ is used by the driver due to platform limitation, then the
IRQ affinity hint is set right after the allocation of IRQ vectors in
ath11k_pci_alloc_msi(). This does no harm unless one of the functions
requesting the IRQ fails and attempt to free the IRQ. This results in the
below warning:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 349 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1929 free_irq+0x278/0x29c
Call trace:

ath11k_pci_probe+0x800/0x820 [ath11k_pci]
local_pci_probe+0x40/0xbc
The warning is due to not clearing the affinity hint before freeing the
IRQs.
So to fix this issue, clear the IRQ affinity hint before calling
ath11k_pcic_free_irq() in the error path. The affinity will be cleared once
again further down the error path due to code organization, but that does
no harm.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Remove RTNL dance for SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF.
SIOCBRDELIF is passed to dev_ioctl() first and later forwarded to
br_ioctl_call(), which causes unnecessary RTNL dance and the splat
below [0] under RTNL pressure.
Let's say Thread A is trying to detach a device from a bridge and
Thread B is trying to remove the bridge.
In dev_ioctl(), Thread A bumps the bridge device's refcnt by
netdev_hold() and releases RTNL because the following br_ioctl_call()
also re-acquires RTNL.
In the race window, Thread B could acquire RTNL and try to remove
the bridge device. Then, rtnl_unlock() by Thread B will release RTNL
and wait for netdev_put() by Thread A.
Thread A, however, must hold RTNL after the unlock in dev_ifsioc(),
which may take long under RTNL pressure, resulting in the splat by
Thread B.

To avoid blocking SIOCBRDELBR unnecessarily, let's not call
dev_ioctl() for SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF.
In the dev_ioctl() path, we do the following:
1. Copy struct ifreq by get_user_ifreq in sock_do_ioctl()
2. Check CAP_NET_ADMIN in dev_ioctl()
3. Call dev_load() in dev_ioctl()
4. Fetch the master dev from ifr.ifr_name in dev_ifsioc()
3. can be done by request_module() in br_ioctl_call(), so we move
1., 2., and 4. to br_ioctl_stub().
Note that 2. is also checked later in add_del_if(), but it's better
performed before RTNL.
SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF have been processed in dev_ioctl() since
the pre-git era, and there seems to be no specific reason to process
them there.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Following operations can trigger a warning[1]:

ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev bond0 xdp obj af_xdp_kern.o sec xdp
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set bond0 type bond mode broadcast
ip netns del ns1
When delete the namespace, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called to remove xdp
program on bond dev, and bond_xdp_set() will check the bond mode. If bond
mode is changed after attaching xdp program, the warning may occur.
Some bond modes (broadcast, etc.) do not support native xdp. Set bond mode
with xdp program attached is not good. Add check for xdp program when set
bond mode.

The problem can be reproduced using the following steps:
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash
cat /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters/*
The panic occurs because of casting the device pointer into an
ib_device pointer using container_of() in hw_stat_device_show() is
wrong and leads to a memory corruption.
However the real problem is that hw counters should never been exposed
outside of the non-init net namespace.
Fix this by saving the index of the corresponding attribute group
(it might be 1 or 2 depending on the presence of driver-specific
attributes) and zeroing the pointer to hw_counters group for compat
devices during the initialization.
With this fix applied hw_counters are not available in a non-init
net namespace:
find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ -name hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/1/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/2/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-22031

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/bwctrl: Fix NULL pointer dereference on bus number exhaustion
When BIOS neglects to assign bus numbers to PCI bridges, the kernel
attempts to correct that during PCI device enumeration. If it runs out
of bus numbers, no pci_bus is allocated and the "subordinate" pointer in
the bridge's pci_dev remains NULL.
The PCIe bandwidth controller erroneously does not check for a NULL
subordinate pointer and dereferences it on probe.
Bandwidth control of unusable devices below the bridge is of questionable
utility, so simply error out instead. This mirrors what PCIe hotplug does
since commit 62e4492c3063 ("PCI: Prevent NULL dereference during pciehp
probe").
The PCI core emits a message with KERN_INFO severity if it has run out of
bus numbers. PCIe hotplug emits an additional message with KERN_ERR
severity to inform the user that hotplug functionality is disabled at the
bridge. A similar message for bandwidth control does not seem merited,
given that its only purpose so far is to expose an up-to-date link speed
in sysfs and throttle the link speed on certain laptops with limited
Thermal Design Power. So error out silently.
User-visible messages:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: switchdev: Convert blocking notification chain to a raw one
A blocking notification chain uses a read-write semaphore to protect the
integrity of the chain. The semaphore is acquired for writing when
adding / removing notifiers to / from the chain and acquired for reading
when traversing the chain and informing notifiers about an event.
In case of the blocking switchdev notification chain, recursive
notifications are possible which leads to the semaphore being acquired
twice for reading and to lockdep warnings being generated [1].
Specifically, this can happen when the bridge driver processes a
SWITCHDEV_BRPORT_UNOFFLOADED event which causes it to emit notifications
about deferred events when calling switchdev_deferred_process().
Fix this by converting the notification chain to a raw notification
chain in a similar fashion to the netdev notification chain. Protect
the chain using the RTNL mutex by acquiring it when modifying the chain.
Events are always informed under the RTNL mutex, but add an assertion in
call_switchdev_blocking_notifiers() to make sure this is not violated in
the future.
Maintain the "blocking" prefix as events are always emitted from process
context and listeners are allowed to block.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Bridge, fix the crash caused by LAG state check
When removing LAG device from bridge, NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event is
triggered. Driver finds the lower devices (PFs) to flush all the
offloaded entries. And mlx5_lag_is_shared_fdb is checked, it returns
false if one of PF is unloaded. In such case,
mlx5_esw_bridge_lag_rep_get() and its caller return NULL, instead of
the alive PF, and the flush is skipped.
Besides, the bridge fdb entry's lastuse is updated in mlx5 bridge
event handler. But this SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE event can be
ignored in this case because the upper interface for bond is deleted,
and the entry will never be aged because lastuse is never updated.
To make things worse, as the entry is alive, mlx5 bridge workqueue
keeps sending that event, which is then handled by kernel bridge
notifier. It causes the following crash when accessing the passed bond
netdev which is already destroyed.
To fix this issue, remove such checks. LAG state is already checked in
commit 15f8f168952f ("net/mlx5: Bridge, verify LAG state when adding
bond to bridge"), driver still need to skip offload if LAG becomes
invalid state after initialization.

net: mana: cleanup mana struct after debugfs_remove()
When on a MANA VM hibernation is triggered, as part of hibernate_snapshot(),
mana_gd_suspend() and mana_gd_resume() are called. If during this
mana_gd_resume(), a failure occurs with HWC creation, mana_port_debugfs
pointer does not get reinitialized and ends up pointing to older,
cleaned-up dentry.
Further in the hibernation path, as part of power_down(), mana_gd_shutdown()
is triggered. This call, unaware of the failures in resume, tries to cleanup
the already cleaned up mana_port_debugfs value and hits the following bug:

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-21921

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethtool: netlink: Allow NULL nlattrs when getting a phy_device
ethnl_req_get_phydev() is used to lookup a phy_device, in the case an
ethtool netlink command targets a specific phydev within a netdev's
topology.
It takes as a parameter a const struct nlattr *header that's used for
error handling :
if (!phydev) {
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR(extack, header,
"no phy matching phyindex");
return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV);
}
In the notify path after a ->set operation however, there's no request
attributes available.
The typical callsite for the above function looks like:
phydev = ethnl_req_get_phydev(req_base, tb[ETHTOOL_A_XXX_HEADER],
info->extack);
So, when tb is NULL (such as in the ethnl notify path), we have a nice
crash.
It turns out that there's only the PLCA command that is in that case, as
the other phydev-specific commands don't have a notification.
This commit fixes the crash by passing the cmd index and the nlattr
array separately, allowing NULL-checking it directly inside the helper.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: memory-failure: update ttu flag inside unmap_poisoned_folio
Patch series "mm: memory_failure: unmap poisoned folio during migrate
properly", v3.
Fix two bugs during folio migration if the folio is poisoned.
This patch (of 3):
Commit 6da6b1d4a7df ("mm/hwpoison: convert TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON to
TTU_HWPOISON") introduce TTU_HWPOISON to replace TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON in
order to stop send SIGBUS signal when accessing an error page after a
memory error on a clean folio. However during page migration, anon folio
must be set with TTU_HWPOISON during unmap_*(). For pagecache we need
some policy just like the one in hwpoison_user_mappings to set this flag.
So move this policy from hwpoison_user_mappings to unmap_poisoned_folio to
handle this warning properly.
Warning will be produced during unamp poison folio with the following log:

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Order the PMU list to fix warning about unordered pmu_ctx_list
Syskaller triggers a warning due to prev_epc->pmu != next_epc->pmu in
perf_event_swap_task_ctx_data(). vmcore shows that two lists have the same
perf_event_pmu_context, but not in the same order.
The problem is that the order of pmu_ctx_list for the parent is impacted by
the time when an event/PMU is added. While the order for a child is
impacted by the event order in the pinned_groups and flexible_groups. So
the order of pmu_ctx_list in the parent and child may be different.
To fix this problem, insert the perf_event_pmu_context to its proper place
after iteration of the pmu_ctx_list.
The follow testcase can trigger above warning:
# perf record -e cycles --call-graph lbr -- taskset -c 3 ./a.out &
# perf stat -e cpu-clock,cs -p xxx // xxx is the pid of a.out
test.c
void main() {
int count = 0;
pid_t pid;
printf("%d running\n", getpid());
sleep(30);
printf("running\n");
pid = fork();
if (pid == -1) {
printf("fork error\n");
return;
}
if (pid == 0) {
while (1) {
count++;
}
} else {
while (1) {
count++;
}
}
}
The testcase first opens an LBR event, so it will allocate task_ctx_data,
and then open tracepoint and software events, so the parent context will
have 3 different perf_event_pmu_contexts. On inheritance, child ctx will
insert the perf_event_pmu_context in another order and the warning will
trigger.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix a WARN during dereg_mr for DM type
Memory regions (MR) of type DM (device memory) do not have an associated
umem.
In the __mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() -> mlx5_free_priv_descs() flow, the code
incorrectly takes the wrong branch, attempting to call
dma_unmap_single() on a DMA address that is not mapped.
This results in a WARN [1], as shown below.
The issue is resolved by properly accounting for the DM type and
ensuring the correct branch is selected in mlx5_free_priv_descs().

RDMA/mlx5: Fix implicit ODP hang on parent deregistration
Fix the destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr() to prevent hanging during
parent deregistration as of below [1].
Upon entering destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr(), the reference count
for the implicit MR parent is incremented using:
refcount_inc_not_zero().
A corresponding decrement must be performed if
free_implicit_child_mr_work() is not called.
The code has been updated to properly manage the reference count that
was incremented.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-21884

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: better track kernel sockets lifetime
While kernel sockets are dismantled during pernet_operations->exit(),
their freeing can be delayed by any tx packets still held in qdisc
or device queues, due to skb_set_owner_w() prior calls.
This then trigger the following warning from ref_tracker_dir_exit() [1]
To fix this, make sure that kernel sockets own a reference on net->passive.
Add sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() helper, used whenever a kernel socket
is converted to a refcounted one.

The cause is that zero pfn is set to the PTE without increasing the RSS
count in mfill_atomic_pte_zeropage() and the refcount of zero folio does
not increase accordingly. Then, the operation on the same pfn is performed
in uprobe_write_opcode()->__replace_page() to unconditional decrease the
RSS count and old_folio's refcount.
Therefore, two bugs are introduced:
1. The RSS count is incorrect, when process exit, the check_mm() report
error "Bad rss-count".
2. The reserved folio (zero folio) is freed when folio->refcount is zero,
then free_pages_prepare->free_page_is_bad() report error
"Bad page state".
There is more, the following warning could also theoretically be triggered:
__replace_page()
-> ...
-> folio_remove_rmap_pte()
-> VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(is_zero_folio(folio), folio)
Considering that uprobe hit on the zero folio is a very rare case, just
reject zero old folio immediately after get_user_page_vma_remote().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/userptr: fix EFAULT handling
Currently we treat EFAULT from hmm_range_fault() as a non-fatal error
when called from xe_vm_userptr_pin() with the idea that we want to avoid
killing the entire vm and chucking an error, under the assumption that
the user just did an unmap or something, and has no intention of
actually touching that memory from the GPU. At this point we have
already zapped the PTEs so any access should generate a page fault, and
if the pin fails there also it will then become fatal.
However it looks like it's possible for the userptr vma to still be on
the rebind list in preempt_rebind_work_func(), if we had to retry the
pin again due to something happening in the caller before we did the
rebind step, but in the meantime needing to re-validate the userptr and
this time hitting the EFAULT.
This explains an internal user report of hitting:

Followed by NPD, when running some workload, since the sg was never
actually populated but the vma is still marked for rebind when it should
be skipped for this special EFAULT case. This is confirmed to fix the

v3 (MattB):
- Update the commit message to make it clear that this indeed fixes the

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix suspicious RCU usage
Commit <d74169ceb0d2> ("iommu/vt-d: Allocate DMAR fault interrupts
locally") moved the call to enable_drhd_fault_handling() to a code
path that does not hold any lock while traversing the drhd list. Fix
it by ensuring the dmar_global_lock lock is held when traversing the
drhd list.
Without this fix, the following warning is triggered:

Holding the lock in enable_drhd_fault_handling() triggers a lockdep splat
about a possible deadlock between dmar_global_lock and cpu_hotplug_lock.
This is avoided by not holding dmar_global_lock when calling
iommu_device_register(), which initiates the device probe process.

Indeed the PM can try to send a RM_ADDR over a msk without acquiring
first the msk socket lock.
The bugged code-path comes from an early optimization: when there
are no subflows, the PM should (usually) not send RM_ADDR
notifications.
The above statement is incorrect, as without locks another process
could concur

Commit c28c15b6d28a ("powerpc/code-patching: Use temporary mm for
Radix MMU") is inspired from x86 but unlike x86 is doesn't disable
KASAN reports during patching. This wasn't a problem at the begining
because __patch_mem() is not instrumented.
Commit 465cabc97b42 ("powerpc/code-patching: introduce
patch_instructions()") use copy_to_kernel_nofault() to copy several
instructions at once. But when using temporary mm the destination is
not regular kernel memory but a kind of kernel-like memory located
in user address space.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Cancel the running bpf_timer through kworker for PREEMPT_RT
During the update procedure, when overwrite element in a pre-allocated
htab, the freeing of old_element is protected by the bucket lock. The
reason why the bucket lock is necessary is that the old_element has
already been stashed in htab->extra_elems after alloc_htab_elem()
returns. If freeing the old_element after the bucket lock is unlocked,
the stashed element may be reused by concurrent update procedure and the
freeing of old_element will run concurrently with the reuse of the
old_element. However, the invocation of check_and_free_fields() may
acquire a spin-lock which violates the lockdep rule because its caller
has already held a raw-spin-lock (bucket lock). The following warning
will be reported when such race happens:

It seems feasible to break the reuse and refill of per-cpu extra_elems
into two independent parts: reuse the per-cpu extra_elems with bucket
lock being held and refill the old_element as per-cpu extra_elems after
the bucket lock is unlocked. However, it will make the concurrent
overwrite procedures on the same CPU return unexpected -E2BIG error when
the map is full.
Therefore, the patch fixes the lock problem by breaking the cancelling
of bpf_timer into two steps for PREEMPT_RT:
1) use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() and check its return value
2) if the timer is running, use hrtimer_cancel() through a kworker to
cancel it again
Considering that the current implementation of hrtimer_cancel() will try
to acquire a being held softirq_expiry_lock when the current timer is
running, these steps above are reasonable. However, it also has
downside. When the timer is running, the cancelling of the timer is
delayed when releasing the last map uref. The delay is also fixable
(e.g., break the cancelling of bpf timer into two parts: one part in
locked scope, another one in unlocked scope), it can be revised later if
necessary.
It is a bit hard to decide the right fix tag. One reason is that the
problem depends on PREEMPT_RT which is enabled in v6.12. Considering the
softirq_expiry_lock lock exists since v5.4 and bpf_timer is introduced
in v5.15, the bpf_timer commit is used in the fixes tag and an extra
depends-on tag is added to state the dependency on PREEMPT_RT.
Depends-on: v6.12+ with PREEMPT_RT enabled

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix queue freeze vs limits lock order in sysfs store methods
queue_attr_store() always freezes a device queue before calling the
attribute store operation. For attributes that control queue limits, the
store operation will also lock the queue limits with a call to
queue_limits_start_update(). However, some drivers (e.g. SCSI sd) may
need to issue commands to a device to obtain limit values from the
hardware with the queue limits locked. This creates a potential ABBA
deadlock situation if a user attempts to modify a limit (thus freezing
the device queue) while the device driver starts a revalidation of the
device queue limits.
Avoid such deadlock by not freezing the queue before calling the
->store_limit() method in struct queue_sysfs_entry and instead use the
queue_limits_commit_update_frozen helper to freeze the queue after taking
the limits lock.
This also removes taking the sysfs lock for the store_limit method as
it doesn't protect anything here, but creates even more nesting.
Hopefully it will go away from the actual sysfs methods entirely soon.

tracing/osnoise: Fix resetting of tracepoints
If a timerlat tracer is started with the osnoise option OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
disabled, but then that option is enabled and timerlat is removed, the
tracepoints that were enabled on timerlat registration do not get
disabled. If the option is disabled again and timelat is started, then it
triggers a warning in the tracepoint code due to registering the
tracepoint again without ever disabling it.
Do not use the same user space defined options to know to disable the
tracepoints when timerlat is removed. Instead, set a global flag when it
is enabled and use that flag to know to disable the events.

KMSAN reported an uninit-value access in vxlan_vnifilter_dump() [1].
If the length of the netlink message payload is less than
sizeof(struct tunnel_msg), vxlan_vnifilter_dump() accesses bytes
beyond the message. This can lead to uninit-value access. Fix this by
returning an error in such situations.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-21713

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries/iommu: Don't unset window if it was never set
On pSeries, when user attempts to use the same vfio container used by
different iommu group, the spapr_tce_set_window() returns -EPERM
and the subsequent cleanup leads to the below crash.
Kernel attempted to read user page (308) - exploit attempt?

The root cause is the bad handling of disconnect() generated internally
by the MPTCP protocol in case of connect FASTOPEN errors.
Address the issue increasing the socket disconnect counter even on such
a case, to allow other threads waiting on the same socket lock to

Description:

drm/xe: Fix tlb invalidation when wedging
If GuC fails to load, the driver wedges, but in the process it tries to
do stuff that may not be initialized yet. This moves the
xe_gt_tlb_invalidation_init() to be done earlier: as its own doc says,
it's a software-only initialization and should had been named with the
_early() suffix.
Move it to be called by xe_gt_init_early(), so the locks and seqno are
initialized, avoiding a NULL ptr deref when wedging:
xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* GT0: load failed: status: Reset = 0, BootROM = 0x50, UKernel = 0x00, MIA = 0x00, Auth = 0x01

This can be easily triggered by poking the GuC binary to force a

This warning is caused by 'kernfs_break_active_protection' when it is
writing to cpuset.cpus, and the cgroup is removed concurrently.
The commit 3a5a6d0c2b03 ("cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside
get_online_cpus()") made cpuset_hotplug_workfn asynchronous, This change
involves calling flush_work(), which can create a multiple processes
circular locking dependency that involve cgroup_mutex, potentially leading
to a deadlock. To avoid deadlock. the commit 76bb5ab8f6e3 ("cpuset: break
kernfs active protection in cpuset_write_resmask()") added
'kernfs_break_active_protection' in the cpuset_write_resmask. This could
lead to this warning.
After the commit 2125c0034c5d ("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug
processing synchronous"), the cpuset_write_resmask no longer needs to
wait the hotplug to finish, which means that concurrent hotplug and cpuset
operations are no longer possible. Therefore, the deadlock doesn't exist
anymore and it does not have to 'break active protection' now. To fix this
warning, just remove kernfs_break_active_protection operation in the
'cpuset_write_resmask'.

Power Hypervisor can possibily allocate MMIO window intersecting with

These MMIO pages needs to be marked as reserved so that IOMMU doesn't map
DMA buffers in this range.
The current code is not marking these pages correctly which is resulting
in LPAR to OOPS while booting. The stack is at below

There are 2 issues in the code
1. The index is "int" while the address is "unsigned long". This results in
negative value when setting the bitmap.
2. The DMA offset is page shifted but the MMIO range is used as-is (64-bit
address). MMIO address needs to be page shifted as well.

ptr_ring: do not block hard interrupts in ptr_ring_resize_multiple()
Jakub added a lockdep_assert_no_hardirq() check in __page_pool_put_page()
to increase test coverage.
syzbot found a splat caused by hard irq blocking in
ptr_ring_resize_multiple() [1]
As current users of ptr_ring_resize_multiple() do not require
hard irqs being masked, replace it to only block BH.
Rename helpers to better reflect they are safe against BH only.
- ptr_ring_resize_multiple() to ptr_ring_resize_multiple_bh()
- skb_array_resize_multiple() to skb_array_resize_multiple_bh()

This may happen on shared irq case. Such as two Type-C ports share one
irq. After the first port finished tcpci_register_port(), it may trigger
interrupt. However, if the interrupt comes by chance the 2nd port finishes
devm_request_threaded_irq(), the 2nd port interrupt handler will run at
first. Then the above issue happens due to tcpci is still a NULL pointer
in tcpci_irq() when dereference to regmap.
devm_request_threaded_irq()
<-- port1 irq comes
disable_irq(client->irq);
tcpci_register_port()
This will restore the logic to the state before commit (77e85107a771 "usb:
typec: tcpci: support edge irq").
However, moving tcpci_register_port() earlier creates a problem when use
edge irq because tcpci_init() will be called before
devm_request_threaded_irq(). The tcpci_init() writes the ALERT_MASK to
the hardware to tell it to start generating interrupts but we're not ready
to deal with them yet, then the ALERT events may be missed and ALERT line
will not recover to high level forever. To avoid the issue, this will also
set ALERT_MASK register after devm_request_threaded_irq() return.

arm64: ptrace: fix partial SETREGSET for NT_ARM_FPMR
Currently fpmr_set() doesn't initialize the temporary 'fpmr' variable,
and a SETREGSET call with a length of zero will leave this
uninitialized. Consequently an arbitrary value will be written back to
target->thread.uw.fpmr, potentially leaking up to 64 bits of memory from
the kernel stack. The read is limited to a specific slot on the stack,
and the issue does not provide a write mechanism.
Fix this by initializing the temporary value before copying the regset
from userspace, as for other regsets (e.g. NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG,
NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). In the case of a zero-length write, the existing
contents of FPMR will be retained.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL
Arguments to a raw tracepoint are tagged as trusted, which carries the
semantics that the pointer will be non-NULL. However, in certain cases,
a raw tracepoint argument may end up being NULL. More context about this
issue is available in [0].
Thus, there is a discrepancy between the reality, that raw_tp arguments
can actually be NULL, and the verifier's knowledge, that they are never
NULL, causing explicit NULL checks to be deleted, and accesses to such
pointers potentially crashing the kernel.
To fix this, mark raw_tp arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL, and then special
case the dereference and pointer arithmetic to permit it, and allow
passing them into helpers/kfuncs; these exceptions are made for raw_tp
programs only. Ensure that we don't do this when ref_obj_id > 0, as in
that case this is an acquired object and doesn't need such adjustment.
The reason we do mask_raw_tp_trusted_reg logic is because other will
recheck in places whether the register is a trusted_reg, and then
consider our register as untrusted when detecting the presence of the
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag.
To allow safe dereference, we enable PROBE_MEM marking when we see loads
into trusted pointers with PTR_MAYBE_NULL.
While trusted raw_tp arguments can also be passed into helpers or kfuncs
where such broken assumption may cause issues, a future patch set will
tackle their case separately, as PTR_TO_BTF_ID (without PTR_TRUSTED) can
already be passed into helpers and causes similar problems. Thus, they
are left alone for now.
It is possible that these checks also permit passing non-raw_tp args
that are trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID with null marking. In such a case,
allowing dereference when pointer is NULL expands allowed behavior, so
won't regress existing programs, and the case of passing these into
helpers is the same as above and will be dealt with later.
Also update the failure case in tp_btf_nullable selftest to capture the
new behavior, as the verifier will no longer cause an error when
directly dereference a raw tracepoint argument marked as __nullable.

iommu/vt-d: Remove cache tags before disabling ATS
The current implementation removes cache tags after disabling ATS,
leading to potential memory leaks and kernel crashes. Specifically,
CACHE_TAG_DEVTLB type cache tags may still remain in the list even
after the domain is freed, causing a use-after-free condition.
This issue really shows up when multiple VFs from different PFs
passed through to a single user-space process via vfio-pci. In such
cases, the kernel may crash with kernel messages like:

iommu/vt-d: Fix qi_batch NULL pointer with nested parent domain
The qi_batch is allocated when assigning cache tag for a domain. While
for nested parent domain, it is missed. Hence, when trying to map pages
to the nested parent, NULL dereference occurred. Also, there is potential
memleak since there is no lock around domain->qi_batch allocation.
To solve it, add a helper for qi_batch allocation, and call it in both
the __cache_tag_assign_domain() and __cache_tag_assign_parent_domain().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cacheinfo: Allocate memory during CPU hotplug if not done from the primary CPU
Commit
5944ce092b97 ("arch_topology: Build cacheinfo from primary CPU")
adds functionality that architectures can use to optionally allocate and
build cacheinfo early during boot. Commit
6539cffa9495 ("cacheinfo: Add arch specific early level initializer")
lets secondary CPUs correct (and reallocate memory) cacheinfo data if
needed.
If the early build functionality is not used and cacheinfo does not need
correction, memory for cacheinfo is never allocated. x86 does not use
the early build functionality. Consequently, during the cacheinfo CPU
hotplug callback, last_level_cache_is_valid() attempts to dereference
a NULL pointer:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000100

RIP: 0010: last_level_cache_is_valid+0x95/0xe0a
Allocate memory for cacheinfo during the cacheinfo CPU hotplug callback
if not done earlier.
Moreover, before determining the validity of the last-level cache info,
ensure that it has been allocated. Simply checking for non-zero
cache_leaves() is not sufficient, as some architectures (e.g., Intel
processors) have non-zero cache_leaves() before allocation.
Dereferencing NULL cacheinfo can occur in update_per_cpu_data_slice_size().
This function iterates over all online CPUs. However, a CPU may have come
online recently, but its cacheinfo may not have been allocated yet.
While here, remove an unnecessary indentation in allocate_cache_info().

This issue can be consistently reproduced on three different servers:

* a 256-core server
* a 192-core server
[Root Cause]
Since multiple threads are created by the hackbench program (along with
the command argument 'thread'), a shared vma might be accessed by two or
more cores simultaneously. When two or more cores observe that
vma->numab_state is NULL at the same time, vma->numab_state will be
overwritten.
Although current code ensures that only one thread scans the VMAs in a
single 'numa_scan_period', there might be a chance for another thread
to enter in the next 'numa_scan_period' while we have not gotten till
numab_state allocation [1].
Note that the command `/opt/ltp/testcases/bin/hackbench 50 process 1000`
cannot the reproduce the issue. It is verified with 200+ test runs.
[Solution]
Use the cmpxchg atomic operation to ensure that only one thread executes
the vma->numab_state assignment.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-56592

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Call free_htab_elem() after htab_unlock_bucket()
For htab of maps, when the map is removed from the htab, it may hold the
last reference of the map. bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() will invoke
bpf_map_free_id() to free the id of the removed map element. However,
bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() is invoked while holding a bucket lock
(raw_spin_lock_t), and bpf_map_free_id() attempts to acquire map_idr_lock
(spinlock_t), triggering the following lockdep warning:

One way to fix the lockdep warning is using raw_spinlock_t for
map_idr_lock as well. However, bpf_map_alloc_id() invokes
idr_alloc_cyclic() after acquiring map_idr_lock, it will trigger a
similar lockdep warning because the slab's lock (s->cpu_slab->lock) is
still a spinlock.
Instead of changing map_idr_lock's type, fix the issue by invoking
htab_put_fd_value() after htab_unlock_bucket(). However, only deferring
the invocation of htab_put_fd_value() is not enough, because the old map
pointers in htab of maps can not be saved during batched deletion.
Therefore, also defer the invocation of free_htab_elem(), so these
to-be-freed elements could be linked together similar to lru map.
There are four callers for ->map_fd_put_ptr:
(1) alloc_htab_elem() (through htab_put_fd_value())
It invokes ->map_fd_put_ptr() under a raw_spinlock_t. The invocation of
htab_put_fd_value() can not simply move after htab_unlock_bucket(),
because the old element has already been stashed in htab->extra_elems.
It may be reused immediately after htab_unlock_bucket() and the
invocation of htab_put_fd_value() after htab_unlock_bucket() may release
the newly-added element incorrectly. Therefore, saving the map pointer
of the old element for htab of maps before unlocking the bucket and
releasing the map_ptr after unlock. Beside the map pointer in the old
element, should do the same thing for the special fields in the old
element as well.
(2) free_htab_elem() (through htab_put_fd_value())
Its caller includes __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_elem(),
htab_map_delete_elem() and __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch().
For htab_map_delete_elem(), simply invoke free_htab_elem() after
htab_unlock_bucket(). For __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), just
like lru map, linking the to-be-freed element into node_to_free list
and invoking free_htab_elem() for these element after unlock. It is safe
to reuse batch_flink as the link for node_to_free, because these
elements have been removed from the hash llist.
Because htab of maps doesn't support lookup_and_delete operation,
__htab_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() doesn't have the problem, so kept
it as

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hisi_sas: Create all dump files during debugfs initialization
For the current debugfs of hisi_sas, after user triggers dump, the

debugfs files created after each dump.
Therefore, when the dump is triggered while the driver is unbind, the

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: hyperv: streamline driver probe to avoid devres issues
It was found that unloading 'hid_hyperv' module results in a devres
complaint:

And the issue seems to be that the corresponding devres group is not
allocated. Normally, devres_open_group() is called from
__hid_device_probe() but Hyper-V HID driver overrides 'hid_dev->driver'
with 'mousevsc_hid_driver' stub and basically re-implements
__hid_device_probe() by calling hid_parse() and hid_hw_start() but not
devres_open_group(). hid_device_probe() does not call __hid_device_probe()
for it. Later, when the driver is removed, hid_device_remove() calls
devres_release_group() as it doesn't check whether hdev->driver was
initially overridden or not.
The issue seems to be related to the commit 62c68e7cee33 ("HID: ensure
timely release of driver-allocated resources") but the commit itself seems
to be correct.
Fix the issue by dropping the 'hid_dev->driver' override and using
hid_register_driver()/hid_unregister_driver() instead. Alternatively, it
would have been possible to rely on the default handling but
HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT implies HID_CONNECT_HIDRAW and it doesn't seem to work
for mousevsc as-is.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-46797

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/qspinlock: Fix deadlock in MCS queue
If an interrupt occurs in queued_spin_lock_slowpath() after we increment
qnodesp->count and before node->lock is initialized, another CPU might
see stale lock values in get_tail_qnode(). If the stale lock value happens
to match the lock on that CPU, then we write to the "next" pointer of
the wrong qnode. This causes a deadlock as the former CPU, once it becomes
the head of the MCS queue, will spin indefinitely until it's "next" pointer
is set by its successor in the queue.
Running stress-ng on a 16 core (16EC/16VP) shared LPAR, results in
occasional lockups similar to the following:
$ stress-ng --all 128 --vm-bytes 80% --aggressive \
--maximize --oomable --verify --syslog \
--metrics --times --timeout 5m

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: protect XDP configuration with a mutex
The main threat to data consistency in ice_xdp() is a possible asynchronous
PF reset. It can be triggered by a user or by TX timeout handler.
XDP setup and PF reset code access the same resources in the following
sections:
* ice_vsi_close() in ice_prepare_for_reset() - already rtnl-locked
* ice_vsi_rebuild() for the PF VSI - not protected
* ice_vsi_open() - already rtnl-locked
With an unfortunate timing, such accesses can result in a crash such as the
one below:

The previous way of handling this through returning -EBUSY is not viable,
particularly when destroying AF_XDP socket, because the kernel proceeds
with removal anyway.
There is plenty of code between those calls and there is no need to create
a large critical section that covers all of them, same as there is no need
to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() with rtnl_lock().
Add xdp_state_lock mutex to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() and ice_xdp().
Leaving unprotected sections in between would result in two states that
have to be considered:
1. when the VSI is closed, but not yet rebuild
2. when VSI is already rebuild, but not yet open
The latter case is actually already handled through !netif_running() case,
we just need to adjust flag checking a little. The former one is not as
trivial, because between ice_vsi_close() and ice_vsi_rebuild(), a lot of
hardware interaction happens, this can make adding/deleting rings exit
with an error. Luckily, VSI rebuild is pending and can apply new
configuration for us in a managed fashion.
Therefore, add an additional VSI state flag ICE_VSI_REBUILD_PENDING to
indicate that ice_x

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video/aperture: optionally match the device in sysfb_disable()
In aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices(), we currently only
call sysfb_disable() on vga class devices. This leads to the
following problem when the pimary device is not VGA compatible:
1. A PCI device with a non-VGA class is the boot display
2. That device is probed first and it is not a VGA device so
sysfb_disable() is not called, but the device resources
are freed by aperture_detach_platform_device()
3. Non-primary GPU has a VGA class and it ends up calling sysfb_disable()
4. NULL pointer dereference via sysfb_disable() since the resources
have already been freed by aperture_detach_platform_device() when
it was called by the other device.
Fix this by passing a device pointer to sysfb_disable() and checking
the device to determine if we should execute it or not.
v2: Fix build when CONFIG_SCREEN_INFO is not set
v3: Move device check into the mutex
Drop primary variable in aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices()
Drop __init on pci sysfb_pci_dev_is_enabled()

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-43802

Description:

Vim is an improved version of the unix vi text editor. When flushing the typeahead buffer, Vim moves the current position in the typeahead buffer but does not check whether there is enough space left in the buffer to handle the next characters. So this may lead to the tb_off position within the typebuf variable to point outside of the valid buffer size, which can then later lead to a heap-buffer overflow in e.g. ins_typebuf(). Therefore, when flushing the typeahead buffer, check if there is enough space left before advancing the off position. If not, fall back to flush current typebuf contents. It's not quite clear yet, what can lead to this situation. It seems to happen when error messages occur (which will cause Vim to flush the typeahead buffer) in comnination with several long mappgins and so it may eventually move the off position out of a valid buffer size. Impact is low since it is not easily reproducible and requires to have several mappings active and run into some error condition. But when this happens, this will cause a crash. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.0697. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray
Patch series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by
xarray", v2.
Currently, xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size. More details
can be found from the WARN_ON() statement in xas_split_alloc(). In our
test whose code is attached below, we hit the WARN_ON() on ARM64 system
where the base page size is 64KB and huge page size is 512MB. The issue
was reported long time ago and some discussions on it can be found here
[1].
[1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-xfs/msg75404.html
In order to fix the issue, we need to adjust MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER to one
supported by xarray and avoid PMD-sized page cache if needed. The code
changes are suggested by David Hildenbrand.
PATCH[1] adjusts MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER to that supported by xarray
PATCH[2-3] avoids PMD-sized page cache in the synchronous readahead path
PATCH[4] avoids PMD-sized page cache for shmem files if needed

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_buffers: Fix memory corruptions on Spectrum-4 systems
The following two shared buffer operations make use of the Shared Buffer
Status Register (SBSR):
# devlink sb occupancy snapshot pci/0000:01:00.0
# devlink sb occupancy clearmax pci/0000:01:00.0
The register has two masks of 256 bits to denote on which ingress /
egress ports the register should operate on. Spectrum-4 has more than
256 ports, so the register was extended by cited commit with a new
'port_page' field.
However, when filling the register's payload, the driver specifies the
ports as absolute numbers and not relative to the first port of the port
page, resulting in memory corruptions [1].
Fix by specifying the ports relative to the first port of the port page.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ionic: use dev_consume_skb_any outside of napi
If we're not in a NAPI softirq context, we need to be careful
about how we call napi_consume_skb(), specifically we need to
call it with budget==0 to signal to it that we're not in a
safe context.
This was found while running some configuration stress testing
of traffic and a change queue config loop running, and this
curious note popped out:

I found that ionic_tx_clean() calls napi_consume_skb() which calls
napi_skb_cache_put(), but before that last call is the note
/* Zero budget indicate non-NAPI context called us, like netpoll */
and
DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_softirq());
Those are pretty big hints that we're doing it wrong. We can pass a
context hint down through the calls to let ionic_tx_clean() know what
we're doing so it can call napi_consume_skb() correctly.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix XDP program unloading while removing the driver
The commit 6533e558c650 ("i40e: Fix reset path while removing
the driver") introduced a new PF state "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" to block
modifying the XDP program while the driver is being removed.
Unfortunately, such a change is useful only if the ".ndo_bpf()"
callback was called out of the rmmod context because unloading the
existing XDP program is also a part of driver removing procedure.
In other words, from the rmmod context the driver is expected to
unload the XDP program without reporting any errors. Otherwise,
the kernel warning with callstack is printed out to dmesg.
Example failing scenario:
1. Load the i40e driver.
2. Load the XDP program.
3. Unload the i40e driver (using "rmmod" command).
The example kernel warning log:

Fix this by checking if the XDP program is being loaded or unloaded.
Then, block only loading a new program while "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" is set.
Also, move testing "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" flag to the beginning of XDP_SETUP
callback to avoid unnecessary operations and checks.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-41004

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Build event generation tests only as modules
The kprobes and synth event generation test modules add events and lock
(get a reference) those event file reference in module init function,
and unlock and delete it in module exit function. This is because those
are designed for playing as modules.
If we make those modules as built-in, those events are left locked in the
kernel, and never be removed. This causes kprobe event self-test failure
as below.

What can be seen here is a register invariant violation on line 19. After
the binary-or in line 18, the verifier knows that bit 2 is set but knows
nothing about the rest of the content which was loaded from a map value,
meaning, range is [2,0x7fffffff] with var_off=(0x2; 0x7ffffffd). When in
line 19 the verifier analyzes the branch, it splits the register states
in reg_set_min_max() into the registers of the true branch (true_reg1,
true_reg2) and the registers of the false branch (false_reg1, false_reg2).
Since the test is w6 != 0x7ffffffd, the src_reg is a known constant.
Internally, the verifier creates a "fake" register initialized as scalar
to the value of 0x7ffffffd, and then passes it onto reg_set_min_max(). Now,
for line 19, it is mathematically impossible to take the false branch of
this program, yet the verifier analyzes it. It is impossible because the
second bit of r6 will be set due to the prior or operation and the
constant in the condition has that bit unset (hex(fd) == binary(1111 1101).
When the verifier first analyzes the false / fall-through branch, it will
compute an intersection between the var_off of r6 and of the constant. This
is because the verifier creates a "fake" register initialized to the value
of the constant. The intersection result later refines both registers in
regs_refine_cond_op():
[...]
t = tnum_intersect(tnum_subreg(reg1->var_off), tnum_subreg(reg2->var_off));
reg1->var_o

Historically, the signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the
kernel due to its interaction with `-fwrapv` but this has since been
changed [1] in the newest version of Clang; It was re-enabled in the
kernel with Commit 557f8c582a9ba8ab ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow
sanitizer").
Let's rework this overflow checking logic to not actually perform an
overflow during the check itself, thus avoiding the UBSAN splat.

stmmac_priv. We also need to reacquire the mutex lock when doing
this initialization.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Prior to this, commit 4cd12c6065df ("bpf, sockmap: Fix NULL pointer
dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()") fixed one NULL pointer
similarly due to no protection of saved_data_ready. Here is another
different caller causing the same issue because of the same reason. So
we should protect it with sk_callback_lock read lock because the writer
side in the sk_psock_drop() uses "write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock);".
To avoid errors that could happen in future, I move those two pairs of
lock into the sk_psock_data_ready(), which is suggested by John Fastabend.

[ 33.482978] ==================================================================
We find the root cause of this OOB is that arm does not clear stale stack
poison in the case of cpuidle.
This patch refer to arch/arm64/kernel/sleep.S to resolve this issue.
From cited commit [1] that explain the problem
Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poison prior to returning.
In the case of cpuidle, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep in
C code. Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave
portions of the stack shadow poisoned.
If CPUs lose context and return to the kernel via a cold path, we
restore a prior context saved in __cpu_suspend_enter are forgotten, and
we never remove the poison they placed in the stack shadow area by
functions calls between this and the actual exit of the kernel.
Thus, (depending on stackframe layout) subsequent calls to instrumented
functions may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN
splats to the console.
To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU
prior to bringing a CPU online.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_net: Do not send RSS key if it is not supported
There is a bug when setting the RSS options in virtio_net that can break
the whole machine, getting the kernel into an infinite loop.
Running the following command in any QEMU virtual machine with virtionet
will reproduce this problem:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc toeplitz
This is how the problem happens:
1) ethtool_set_rxfh() calls virtnet_set_rxfh()
2) virtnet_set_rxfh() calls virtnet_commit_rss_command()
3) virtnet_commit_rss_command() populates 4 entries for the rss
scatter-gather
4) Since the command above does not have a key, then the last
scatter-gatter entry will be zeroed, since rss_key_size == 0.
sg_buf_size = vi->rss_key_size;
5) This buffer is passed to qemu, but qemu is not happy with a buffer
with zero length, and do the following in virtqueue_map_desc() (QEMU
function):
if (!sz) {
virtio_error(vdev, "virtio: zero sized buffers are not allowed");
6) virtio_error() (also QEMU function) set the device as broken
vdev->broken = true;
7) Qemu bails out, and do not repond this crazy kernel.
8) The kernel is waiting for the response to come back (function
virtnet_send_command())
9) The kernel is waiting doing the following :
while (!virtqueue_get_buf(vi->cvq, &tmp) &&
!virtqueue_is_broken(vi->cvq))
cpu_relax();
10) None of the following functions above is true, thus, the kernel
loops here forever. Keeping in mind that virtqueue_is_broken() does
not look at the qemu `vdev->broken`, so, it never realizes that the
vitio is broken at QEMU side.
Fix it by not sending RSS commands if the feature is not available in
the device.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/bpf: Fix bpf_plt pointer arithmetic
Kui-Feng Lee reported a crash on s390x triggered by the
dummy_st_ops/dummy_init_ptr_arg test [1]:
[<0000000000000002>] 0x2
[<00000000009d5cde>] bpf_struct_ops_test_run+0x156/0x250

[<0000000000c59a40>] system_call+0x70/0x98
This is caused by GCC moving memcpy() after assignments in
bpf_jit_plt(), resulting in NULL pointers being written instead of
the return and the target addresses.
Looking at the GCC internals, the reordering is allowed because the
alias analysis thinks that the memcpy() destination and the assignments'
left-hand-sides are based on different objects: new_plt and
bpf_plt_ret/bpf_plt_target respectively, and therefore they cannot
alias.
This is in turn due to a violation of the C standard:
When two pointers are subtracted, both shall point to elements of the
same array object, or one past the last element of the array object
...
From the C's perspective, bpf_plt_ret and bpf_plt are distinct objects
and cannot be subtracted. In the practical terms, doing so confuses the
GCC's alias analysis.
The code was written this way in order to let the C side know a few
offsets defined in the assembly. While nice, this is by no means
necessary. Fix the noncompliance by hardcoding these offsets.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: support deferring bpf_link dealloc to after RCU grace period
BPF link for some program types is passed as a "context" which can be
used by those BPF programs to look up additional information. E.g., for
multi-kprobes and multi-uprobes, link is used to fetch BPF cookie values.
Because of this runtime dependency, when bpf_link refcnt drops to zero
there could still be active BPF programs running accessing link data.
This patch adds generic support to defer bpf_link dealloc callback to
after RCU GP, if requested. This is done by exposing two different
deallocation callbacks, one synchronous and one deferred. If deferred
one is provided, bpf_link_free() will schedule dealloc_deferred()
callback to happen after RCU GP.
BPF is using two flavors of RCU: "classic" non-sleepable one and RCU
tasks trace one. The latter is used when sleepable BPF programs are
used. bpf_link_free() accommodates that by checking underlying BPF
program's sleepable flag, and goes either through normal RCU GP only for
non-sleepable, or through RCU tasks trace GP *and* then normal RCU GP
(taking into account rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() optimization), if BPF
program is sleepable.
We use this for multi-kprobe and multi-uprobe links, which dereference
link during program run. We also preventively switch raw_tp link to use
deferred dealloc callback, as upcoming changes in bpf-next tree expose
raw_tp link data (specifically, cookie value) to BPF program at runtime
as well.

When a kernel module is unbound but the pin resources were not entirely
freed (other kernel module instance of the same PCI device have had kept
the reference to that pin), and kernel module is again bound, the pin
properties would not be updated (the properties are only assigned when
memory for the pin is allocated), prop pointer still points to the
kernel module memory of the kernel module which was deallocated on the
unbind.
If the pin dump is invoked in this state, the result is a kernel crash.
Prevent the crash by storing persistent pin properties in dpll subsystem,
copy the content from the kernel module when pin is allocated, instead of
using memory of the kernel module.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-26891

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation request when device is disconnected
For those endpoint devices connect to system via hotplug capable ports,
users could request a hot reset to the device by flapping device's link
through setting the slot's link control register, as pciehp_ist() DLLSC
interrupt sequence response, pciehp will unload the device driver and
then power it off. thus cause an IOMMU device-TLB invalidation (Intel
VT-d spec, or ATS Invalidation in PCIe spec r6.1) request for non-existence
target device to be sent and deadly loop to retry that request after ITE
fault triggered in interrupt context.
That would cause following continuous hard lockup warning and system hang

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix uninitialized dplls mutex usage
The pf->dplls.lock mutex is initialized too late, after its first use.
Move it to the top of ice_dpll_init.
Note that the "err_exit" error path destroys the mutex. And the mutex is
the last thing destroyed in ice_dpll_deinit.
This fixes the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES:

scsi: smartpqi: Fix disable_managed_interrupts
Correct blk-mq registration issue with module parameter
disable_managed_interrupts enabled.
When we turn off the default PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY flag, the driver needs to
register with blk-mq using blk_mq_map_queues(). The driver is currently
calling blk_mq_pci_map_queues() which results in a stack trace and possibly
undefined behavior.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/dsc: Fix the macro that calculates DSCC_/DSCA_ PPS reg address
Commit bd077259d0a9 ("drm/i915/vdsc: Add function to read any PPS
register") defines a new macro to calculate the DSC PPS register
addresses with PPS number as an input. This macro correctly calculates
the addresses till PPS 11 since the addresses increment by 4. So in that
case the following macro works correctly to give correct register
address:
_MMIO(_DSCA_PPS_0 + (pps) * 4)
However after PPS 11, the register address for PPS 12 increments by 12
because of RC Buffer memory allocation in between. Because of this
discontinuity in the address space, the macro calculates wrong addresses
for PPS 12 - 16 resulting into incorrect DSC PPS parameter value
read/writes causing DSC corruption.
This fixes it by correcting this macro to add the offset of 12 for PPS
>=12.
v3: Add correct paranthesis for pps argument (Jani Nikula)

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-26687

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/events: close evtchn after mapping cleanup
shutdown_pirq and startup_pirq are not taking the
irq_mapping_update_lock because they can't due to lock inversion. Both
are called with the irq_desc->lock being taking. The lock order,
however, is first irq_mapping_update_lock and then irq_desc->lock.
This opens multiple races:
- shutdown_pirq can be interrupted by a function that allocates an event
channel:
CPU0 CPU1
shutdown_pirq {
xen_evtchn_close(e)
__startup_pirq {
EVTCHNOP_bind_pirq
-> returns just freed evtchn e
set_evtchn_to_irq(e, irq)
}
xen_irq_info_cleanup() {
set_evtchn_to_irq(e, -1)
}
}
Assume here event channel e refers here to the same event channel
number.
After this race the evtchn_to_irq mapping for e is invalid (-1).
- __startup_pirq races with __unbind_from_irq in a similar way. Because
__startup_pirq doesn't take irq_mapping_update_lock it can grab the
evtchn that __unbind_from_irq is currently freeing and cleaning up. In
this case even though the event channel is allocated, its mapping can
be unset in evtchn_to_irq.
The fix is to first cleanup the mappings and then close the event
channel. In this way, when an event channel gets allocated it's
potential previous evtchn_to_irq mappings are guaranteed to be unset already.
This is also the reverse order of the allocation where first the event
channel is allocated and then the mappings are setup.
On a 5.10 kernel prior to commit 3fcdaf3d7634 ("xen/events: modify internal
[un]bind interfaces"), we hit a BUG like the following during probing of NVMe
devices. The issue is that during nvme_setup_io_queues, pci_free_irq
is called for every device which results in a call to shutdown_pirq.
With many nvme devices it's therefore likely to hit this race during
boot because there will be multiple calls to shutdown_pirq and
startup_pirq are running potentially in parallel.

Security Advisory: CVE-2024-9681

Description:

When curl is asked to use HSTS, the expiry time for a subdomain might
overwrite a parent domain's cache entry, making it end sooner or later than
otherwise intended.
This affects curl using applications that enable HSTS and use URLs with the
insecure `HTTP://` scheme and perform transfers with hosts like
`x.example.com` as well as `example.com` where the first host is a subdomain
of the second host.
(The HSTS cache either needs to have been populated manually or there needs to
have been previous HTTPS accesses done as the cache needs to have entries for
the domains involved to trigger this problem.)
When `x.example.com` responds with `Strict-Transport-Security:` headers, this
bug can make the subdomain's expiry timeout *bleed over* and get set for the
parent domain `example.com` in curl's HSTS cache.
The result of a triggered bug is that HTTP accesses to `example.com` get
converted to HTTPS for a different period of time than what was asked for by
the origin server. If `example.com` for example stops supporting HTTPS at its
expiry time, curl might then fail to access `http://example.com` until the
(wrongly set) timeout expires. This bug can also expire the parent's entry
*earlier*, thus making curl inadvertently switch back to insecure HTTP earlier
than otherwise intended.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers
Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols,
syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to
do so.
Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for
histograms and caused a bug.

Security Advisory: CVE-2023-53082

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vp_vdpa: fix the crash in hot unplug with vp_vdpa
While unplugging the vp_vdpa device, it triggers a kernel panic
The root cause is: vdpa_mgmtdev_unregister() will accesses modern
devices which will cause a use after free.
So need to change the sequence in vp_vdpa_remove

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix ttm_bo calltrace warning in psp_hw_fini
The call trace occurs when the amdgpu is removed after
the mode1 reset. During mode1 reset, from suspend to resume,
there is no need to reinitialize the ta firmware buffer
which caused the bo pin_count increase redundantly.

The above warning triggered because the current imc-pmu code uses mutex
lock in interrupt disabled sections. The function mutex_lock()
internally calls __might_resched(), which will check if IRQs are
disabled and in case IRQs are disabled, it will trigger the warning.
Fix the issue by changing the mutex lock to spinlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: Fix the use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context on rt
The commit 4af1b64f80fb ("octeontx2-pf: Fix lmtst ID used in aura
free") uses the get/put_cpu() to protect the usage of percpu pointer
in ->aura_freeptr() callback, but it also unnecessarily disable the
preemption for the blockable memory allocation. The commit 87b93b678e95
("octeontx2-pf: Avoid use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context") tried to
fix these sleep inside atomic warnings. But it only fix the one for
the non-rt kernel. For the rt kernel, we still get the similar warnings
like below.

Of course, we can shuffle the get/put_cpu() to only wrap the invocation
of ->aura_freeptr() as what commit 87b93b678e95 does. But there are only
two ->aura_freeptr() callbacks, otx2_aura_freeptr() and
cn10k_aura_freeptr(). There is no usage of perpcu variable in the
otx2_aura_freeptr() at all, so the get/put_cpu() seems redundant to it.
We can move the get/put_cpu() into the corresponding callback which
really has the percpu variable usage and avoid the sprinkling of
get/put_cpu() in several places.

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: enable all safety features by default
In the original implementation of dwmac5
commit 8bf993a5877e ("net: stmmac: Add support for DWMAC5 and implement Safety Features")
all safety features were enabled by default.
Later it seems some implementations didn't have support for all the
features, so in
commit 5ac712dcdfef ("net: stmmac: enable platform specific safety features")
the safety_feat_cfg structure was added to the callback and defined for
some platforms to selectively enable these safety features.
The problem is that only certain platforms were given that software
support. If the automotive safety package bit is set in the hardware
features register the safety feature callback is called for the platform,
and for platforms that didn't get a safety_feat_cfg defined this results
in the following NULL pointer dereference:

supports a subset of the features.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Check for any of tcp_bpf_prots when cloning a listener
A listening socket linked to a sockmap has its sk_prot overridden. It
points to one of the struct proto variants in tcp_bpf_prots. The variant
depends on the socket's family and which sockmap programs are attached.
A child socket cloned from a TCP listener initially inherits their sk_prot.
But before cloning is finished, we restore the child's proto to the
listener's original non-tcp_bpf_prots one. This happens in
tcp_create_openreq_child -> tcp_bpf_clone.
Today, in tcp_bpf_clone we detect if the child's proto should be restored
by checking only for the TCP_BPF_BASE proto variant. This is not
correct. The sk_prot of listening socket linked to a sockmap can point to
to any variant in tcp_bpf_prots.
If the listeners sk_prot happens to be not the TCP_BPF_BASE variant, then
the child socket unintentionally is left if the inherited sk_prot by
tcp_bpf_clone.
This leads to issues like infinite recursion on close [1], because the
child state is otherwise not set up for use with tcp_bpf_prot operations.
Adjust the check in tcp_bpf_clone to detect all of tcp_bpf_prots variants.
Note that it wouldn't be sufficient to check the socket state when
overriding the sk_prot in tcp_bpf_update_proto in order to always use the
TCP_BPF_BASE variant for listening sockets. Since commit
b8b8315e39ff ("bpf, sockmap: Remove unhash handler for BPF sockmap usage")
it is possible for a socket to transition to TCP_LISTEN state while already
linked to a sockmap, e.g. connect() -> insert into map ->
connect(AF_UNSPEC) -> listen().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscache: Use wait_on_bit() to wait for the freeing of relinquished volume
The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume
acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with
wait_var_event() used in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will
never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these two functions
operate on different wait-queues.
According to the implementation in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(),
if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20 seconds
(e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first
wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout and the following wait_var_event()
will hang forever as shown below:
FS-Cache: Potential volume collision new=00000024 old=00000022

Considering that wake_up_bit() is more selective, so fix it by using
wait_on_bit() instead of wait_var_event() to wait for the freeing of
relinquished volume. In addition because waitqueue_active() is used in
wake_up_bit() and clear_bit() doesn't imply any memory barrier, use
clear_and_wake_up_bit() to add the missing memory barrier between
cursor->flags and waitqueue_active().

drm/i915: Fix request ref counting during error capture & debugfs dump
When GuC support was added to error capture, the reference counting
around the request object was broken. Fix it up.
The context based search manages the spinlocking around the search
internally. So it needs to grab the reference count internally as
well. The execlist only request based search relies on external
locking, so it needs an external reference count but within the
spinlock not outside it.
The only other caller of the context based search is the code for
dumping engine state to debugfs. That code wasn't previously getting
an explicit reference at all as it does everything while holding the
execlist specific spinlock. So, that needs updaing as well as that
spinlock doesn't help when using GuC submission. Rather than trying to
conditionally get/put depending on submission model, just change it to
always do the get/put.
v2: Explicitly document adding an extra blank line in some dense code
(Andy Shevchenko). Fix multiple potential null pointer derefs in case
of no request found (some spotted by Tvrtko, but there was more!).
Also fix a leaked request in case of !started and another in
__guc_reset_context now that intel_context_find_active_request is
actually reference counting the returned request.
v3: Add a _get suffix to intel_context_find_active_request now that it
grabs a reference (Daniele).
v4: Split the intel_guc_find_hung_context change to a separate patch
and rename intel_context_find_active_request_get to
intel_context_get_active_request (Tvrtko).
v5: s/locking/reference counting/ in commit message (Tvrtko)

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/MADV_COLLAPSE: catch !none !huge !bad pmd lookups
In commit 34488399fa08 ("mm/madvise: add file and shmem support to
MADV_COLLAPSE") we make the following change to find_pmd_or_thp_or_none():
- if (!pmd_present(pmde))
- return SCAN_PMD_NULL;
+ if (pmd_none(pmde))
+ return SCAN_PMD_NONE;
This was for-use by MADV_COLLAPSE file/shmem codepaths, where
MADV_COLLAPSE might identify a pte-mapped hugepage, only to have
khugepaged race-in, free the pte table, and clear the pmd. Such codepaths
include:
A) If we find a suitably-aligned compound page of order HPAGE_PMD_ORDER
already in the pagecache.
B) In retract_page_tables(), if we fail to grab mmap_lock for the target
mm/address.
In these cases, collapse_pte_mapped_thp() really does expect a none (not
just !present) pmd, and we want to suitably identify that case separate
from the case where no pmd is found, or it's a bad-pmd (of course, many
things could happen once we drop mmap_lock, and the pmd could plausibly
undergo multiple transitions due to intervening fault, split, etc).
Regardless, the code is prepared install a huge-pmd only when the existing
pmd entry is either a genuine pte-table-mapping-pmd, or the none-pmd.
However, the commit introduces a logical hole; namely, that we've allowed
!none- && !huge- && !bad-pmds to be classified as genuine
pte-table-mapping-pmds. One such example that could leak through are swap
entries. The pmd values aren't checked again before use in
pte_offset_map_lock(), which is expecting nothing less than a genuine
pte-table-mapping-pmd.
We want to put back the !pmd_present() check (below the pmd_none() check),
but need to be careful to deal with subtleties in pmd transitions and
treatments by various arch.
The issue is that __split_huge_pmd_locked() temporarily clears the present
bit (or otherwise marks the entry as invalid), but pmd_present() and
pmd_trans_huge() still need to return true while the pmd is in this
transitory state. For example, x86's pmd_present() also checks the
_PAGE_PSE , riscv's version also checks the _PAGE_LEAF bit, and arm64 also
checks a PMD_PRESENT_INVALID bit.
Covering all 4 cases for x86 (all checks done on the same pmd value):
1) pmd_present() && pmd_trans_huge()
All we actually know here is that the PSE bit is set. Either:
a) We aren't racing with __split_huge_page(), and PRESENT or PROTNONE
is set.
=> huge-pmd
b) We are currently racing with __split_huge_page(). The danger here
is that we proceed as-if we have a huge-pmd, but really we are
looking at a pte-mapping-pmd. So, what is the risk of this
danger?
The only relevant path is:
madvise_collapse() -> collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
Where we might just incorrectly report back "success", when really
the memory isn't pmd-backed. This is fine, since split could
happen immediately after (actually) successful madvise_collapse().
So, it should be safe to just assume huge-pmd here.
2) pmd_present() && !pmd_trans_huge()
Either:
a) PSE not set and either PRESENT or PROTNONE is.
=> pte-table-mapping pmd (or PROT_NONE)
b) devmap. This routine can be called immediately after
unlocking/locking mmap_lock -- or called with no locks held (see
khugepaged_scan_mm_slot()), so previous VMA checks have since been
invalidated.
3) !pmd_present() && pmd_trans_huge()
Not possible.
4) !pmd_present() && !pmd_trans_huge()
Neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE set
=> not present
I've checked all archs that implement pmd_trans_huge() (arm64, riscv,
powerpc, longarch, x86, mips, s390) and this logic roughly translates
(though devmap treatment is unique to x86 and powerpc, and (3) doesn't
necessarily hold in general -- but that doesn't matter since
!pmd_present() always takes failure path).
Also, add a comment above find_pmd_or_thp_or_none()

As analyzed by Khazhy Kumykov, the cause of this bug is a race between
read_descriptors() and hub_port_init(): The first routine uses a field
in udev->descriptor, not expecting it to change, while the second
overwrites it.
Prior to commit 45bf39f8df7f ("USB: core: Don't hold device lock while
reading the "descriptors" sysfs file") this race couldn't occur,
because the routines were mutually exclusive thanks to the device
locking. Removing that locking from read_descriptors() exposed it to
the race.
The best way to fix the bug is to keep hub_port_init() from changing
udev->descriptor once udev has been initialized and registered.
Drivers expect the descriptors stored in the kernel to be immutable;
we should not undermine this expectation. In fact, this change should
have been made long ago.
So now hub_port_init() will take an additional argument, specifying a
buffer in which to store the device descriptor it reads. (If udev has
not yet been initialized, the buffer pointer will be NULL and then
hub_port_init() will store the device descriptor in udev as before.)
This eliminates the data race responsible for the out-of-bounds read.
The changes to hub_port_init() appear more extensive than they really
are, because of indentation changes resulting from an attempt to avoid
writing to other parts of the usb_device structure after it has been
initialized. Similar changes should be made to the code that reads
the BOS descriptor, but that can be handled in a separate patch later
on. This patch is sufficient to fix the bug found by syzbot.

HID: uclogic: Fix user-memory-access bug in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks()
When CONFIG_HID_UCLOGIC=y and CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y, launch kernel and
then the below user-memory-access bug occurs.
In hid_test_uclogic_params_cleanup_event_hooks(),it call
uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks() with the first arg=NULL, so
when it calls uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(), the hid_get_drvdata()
will access hdev->dev with hdev=NULL, which will cause below
user-memory-access.
So add a fake_device with quirks member and call hid_set_drvdata()
to assign hdev->dev->driver_data which avoids the null-ptr-def bug
for drvdata->quirks in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(). After applying
this patch, the below user-memory-access bug never occurs.

Security Advisory: CVE-2023-52851

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx5: Fix init stage error handling to avoid double free of same QP and UAF
In the unlikely event that workqueue allocation fails and returns NULL in
mlx5_mkey_cache_init(), delete the call to
mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() (which frees the QP) in
mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init(). This will avoid attempted double
free of the same QP when __mlx5_ib_add() does its cleanup.
Resolves a splat:
Syzkaller reported a UAF in ib_destroy_qp_user
workqueue: Failed to create a rescuer kthread for wq "mkey_cache": -EINTR

This crash is due to the clearing out the cxl_memdev's driver context
(@cxlds) before the subsystem is done with it. This is ultimately due to
the region(s), that this memdev is a member, being torn down and expecting
to be able to de-reference @cxlds, like here:
static int cxl_region_decode_reset(struct cxl_region *cxlr, int count)
...
if (cxlds->rcd)
goto endpoint_reset;
...
Fix it by keeping the driver context valid until memdev-device
unregistration, and subsequently the entire stack of related
dependencies, unwinds.

=====================================================
The following simple reproducer can cause the issue described above:
int main(void)
{
int sock;
struct sockaddr_vm addr = {
.svm_family = AF_VSOCK,
.svm_cid = VMADDR_CID_ANY,
.svm_port = 1234,
};
sock = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
return 0;
}
This issue occurs because the `buf_alloc` and `fwd_cnt` fields of the
`struct virtio_vsock_hdr` are not initialized when a new skb is allocated
in `virtio_transport_init_hdr()`. This patch resolves the issue by
initializing these fields during allocation.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Detect IP == ksym.end as part of BPF program
Now that bpf_throw kfunc is the first such call instruction that has
noreturn semantics within the verifier, this also kicks in dead code
elimination in unprecedented ways. For one, any instruction following
a bpf_throw call will never be marked as seen. Moreover, if a callchain
ends up throwing, any instructions after the call instruction to the
eventually throwing subprog in callers will also never be marked as
seen.
The tempting way to fix this would be to emit extra 'int3' instructions
which bump the jited_len of a program, and ensure that during runtime
when a program throws, we can discover its boundaries even if the call
instruction to bpf_throw (or to subprogs that always throw) is emitted
as the final instruction in the program.
An example of such a program would be this:
do_something():
...
r0 = 0
exit
foo():
r1 = 0
call bpf_throw
r0 = 0
exit
bar(cond):
if r1 != 0 goto pc+2
call do_something
exit
call foo
r0 = 0 // Never seen by verifier
exit//
main(ctx):
r1 = ...
call bar
r0 = 0
exit
Here, if we do end up throwing, the stacktrace would be the following:
bpf_throw
foo
bar
main
In bar, the final instruction emitted will be the call to foo, as such,
the return address will be the subsequent instruction (which the JIT
emits as int3 on x86). This will end up lying outside the jited_len of
the program, thus, when unwinding, we will fail to discover the return
address as belonging to any program and end up in a panic due to the
unreliable stack unwinding of BPF programs that we never expect.
To remedy this case, make bpf_prog_ksym_find treat IP == ksym.end as
part of the BPF program, so that is_bpf_text_address returns true when
such a case occurs, and we are able to unwind reliably when the final
instruction ends up being a call instruction.

initialization error was incidentally fixed separately by:
Commit 8d4285425714 ("cxl/region: Fix port setup uninitialized variable
warnings") which was merged a few days after 5e42bcbc3fef.
But now the original cleanup when cxl_region_setup_targets() fails
prevents endpoint and switch decoder resources from being reused:
1) the cleanup does not set the decoder's region to NULL, which results
in future dpa_size_store() calls returning -EBUSY
2) the decoder is not properly freed, which results in future commit
errors associated with the upstream switch
Now that the initialization errors were fixed separately, the proper
cleanup for this case is to just return immediately. Then the resources
associated with this target get cleanup up as normal when the failed
region is deleted.
The ->nr_targets decrement in the error case also helped prevent
a p->targets[] array overflow, so add a new check to prevent against
that overflow.
Tested by trying to create an invalid region for a 2 switch * 2 endpoint
topology, and then following up with creating a valid region.

Security Advisory: CVE-2023-52782

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Track xmit submission to PTP WQ after populating metadata map
Ensure the skb is available in metadata mapping to skbs before tracking the
metadata index for detecting undelivered CQEs. If the metadata index is put
in the tracking list before putting the skb in the map, the metadata index
might be used for detecting undelivered CQEs before the relevant skb is
available in the map, which can lead to a null-ptr-deref.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: Restrict CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to GNU as or LLVM IAS 15.x or newer
Prior to LLVM 15.0.0, LLVM's integrated assembler would incorrectly
byte-swap NOP when compiling for big-endian, and the resulting series of
bytes happened to match the encoding of FNMADD S21, S30, S0, S0.
This went unnoticed until commit:
34f66c4c4d5518c1 ("arm64: Use a positive cpucap for FP/SIMD")
Prior to that commit, the kernel would always enable the use of FPSIMD
early in boot when __cpu_setup() initialized CPACR_EL1, and so usage of
FNMADD within the kernel was not detected, but could result in the
corruption of user or kernel FPSIMD state.
After that commit, the instructions happen to trap during boot prior to
FPSIMD being detected and enabled, e.g.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Do not use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag for workqueue
When both ice and the irdma driver are loaded, a warning in
check_flush_dependency is being triggered. This is due to ice driver
workqueue being allocated with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag and the irdma one
is not.
According to kernel documentation, this flag should be set if the
workqueue will be involved in the kernel's memory reclamation flow.
Since it is not, there is no need for the ice driver's WQ to have this
flag set so remove it.

Security Advisory: CVE-2023-52738

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/fence: Fix oops due to non-matching drm_sched init/fini
Currently amdgpu calls drm_sched_fini() from the fence driver sw fini
routine - such function is expected to be called only after the
respective init function - drm_sched_init() - was executed successfully.
Happens that we faced a driver probe failure in the Steam Deck
recently, and the function drm_sched_fini() was called even without
its counter-part had been previously called, causing the following oops:
amdgpu: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -110

To prevent that, check if the drm_sched was properly initialized for a
given ring before calling its fini counter-part.
Notice ideally we'd use sched.ready for that; such field is set as the latest
thing on drm_sched_init(). But amdgpu seems to "override" the meaning of such
field - in the above oops for example, it was a GFX ring causing the crash, and
the sched.ready field was set to true in the ring init routine, regardless of
the state of the DRM scheduler. Hence, we ended-up using sched.ops as per
Christian's suggestion [0], and also removed the no_scheduler check [1].

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: Do not unset preset when cleaning up codec
Several functions that take part in codec's initialization and removal
are re-used by ASoC codec drivers implementations. Drivers mimic the
behavior of hda_codec_driver_probe/remove() found in
sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c with their component->probe/remove() instead.
One of the reasons for that is the expectation of
snd_hda_codec_device_new() to receive a valid pointer to an instance of
struct snd_card. This expectation can be met only once sound card
components probing commences.
As ASoC sound card may be unbound without codec device being actually
removed from the system, unsetting ->preset in
snd_hda_codec_cleanup_for_unbind() interferes with module unload -> load
scenario causing null-ptr-deref. Preset is assigned only once, during
device/driver matching whereas ASoC codec driver's module reloading may
occur several times throughout the lifetime of an audio stack.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Reject sk_msg egress redirects to non-TCP sockets
With a SOCKMAP/SOCKHASH map and an sk_msg program user can steer messages
sent from one TCP socket (s1) to actually egress from another TCP
socket (s2):
tcp_bpf_sendmsg(s1)// = sk_prot->sendmsg
tcp_bpf_send_verdict(s1)// __SK_REDIRECT case
tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir(s2)
tcp_bpf_push_locked(s2)
tcp_bpf_push(s2)
tcp_rate_check_app_limited(s2) // expects tcp_sock
tcp_sendmsg_locked(s2) // ditto
There is a hard-coded assumption in the call-chain, that the egress
socket (s2) is a TCP socket.
However in commit 122e6c79efe1 ("sock_map: Update sock type checks for
UDP") we have enabled redirects to non-TCP sockets. This was done for the
sake of BPF sk_skb programs. There was no indention to support sk_msg
send-to-egress use case.
As a result, attempts to send-to-egress through a non-TCP socket lead to a
crash due to invalid downcast from sock to tcp_sock:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-debug: don't call __dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() under free_entries_lock
__dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() calls into printk -> serial console
output (qcom geni) and grabs port->lock under free_entries_lock
spin lock, which is a reverse locking dependency chain as qcom_geni
IRQ handler can call into dma-debug code and grab free_entries_lock
under port->lock.
Move __dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() call out of free_entries_lock
scope so that we don't acquire serial console's port->lock under it.

Note that since 6.6-rc1 the arm_smmu_mm_invalidate_range above is renamed
to "arm_smmu_mm_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs", yet the problem remains.
The commit 06ff87bae8d3 ("arm64: mm: remove unused functions and variable
protoypes") fixed a similar lockup on the CPU MMU side. Yet, it can occur
to SMMU too, since arm_smmu_mm_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() is called
typically next to MMU tlb flush function, e.g.
tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly {
tlb_flush {
__flush_tlb_range {
// check MAX_TLBI_OPS
}
}
mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs {
arm_smmu_mm_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs {
// does not check MAX_TLBI_OPS
}
}
}
Clone a CMDQ_MAX_TLBI_OPS from the MAX_TLBI_OPS in tlbflush.h, since in an
SVA case SMMU uses the CPU page table, so it makes sense to align with the
tlbflush code. Then, replace per-page TLBI commands with a single per-asid
TLBI command, if the request size hits this threshold.

Security Advisory: CVE-2023-52481

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: errata: Add Cortex-A520 speculative unprivileged load workaround
Implement the workaround for ARM Cortex-A520 erratum 2966298. On an
affected Cortex-A520 core, a speculatively executed unprivileged load
might leak data from a privileged load via a cache side channel. The
issue only exists for loads within a translation regime with the same
translation (e.g. same ASID and VMID). Therefore, the issue only affects
the return to EL0.
The workaround is to execute a TLBI before returning to EL0 after all
loads of privileged data. A non-shareable TLBI to any address is
sufficient.
The workaround isn't necessary if page table isolation (KPTI) is
enabled, but for simplicity it will be. Page table isolation should
normally be disabled for Cortex-A520 as it supports the CSV3 feature
and the E0PD feature (used when KASLR is enabled).

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Fix bugs with non-PAGE_SIZE-end multi-iovec user SDMA requests
hfi1 user SDMA request processing has two bugs that can cause data
corruption for user SDMA requests that have multiple payload iovecs
where an iovec other than the tail iovec does not run up to the page
boundary for the buffer pointed to by that iovec.a
Here are the specific bugs:
1. user_sdma_txadd() does not use struct user_sdma_iovec->iov.iov_len.
Rather, user_sdma_txadd() will add up to PAGE_SIZE bytes from iovec
to the packet, even if some of those bytes are past
iovec->iov.iov_len and are thus not intended to be in the packet.
2. user_sdma_txadd() and user_sdma_send_pkts() fail to advance to the
next iovec in user_sdma_request->iovs when the current iovec
is not PAGE_SIZE and does not contain enough data to complete the
packet. The transmitted packet will contain the wrong data from the
iovec pages.
This has not been an issue with SDMA packets from hfi1 Verbs or PSM2
because they only produce iovecs that end short of PAGE_SIZE as the tail
iovec of an SDMA request.
Fixing these bugs exposes other bugs with the SDMA pin cache
(struct mmu_rb_handler) that get in way of supporting user SDMA requests
with multiple payload iovecs whose buffers do not end at PAGE_SIZE. So
this commit fixes those issues as well.
Here are the mmu_rb_handler bugs that non-PAGE_SIZE-end multi-iovec
payload user SDMA requests can hit:
1. Overlapping memory ranges in mmu_rb_handler will result in duplicate
pinnings.
2. When extending an existing mmu_rb_handler entry (struct mmu_rb_node),
the mmu_rb code (1) removes the existing entry under a lock, (2)
releases that lock, pins the new pages, (3) then reacquires the lock
to insert the extended mmu_rb_node.
If someone else comes in and inserts an overlapping entry between (2)
and (3), insert in (3) will fail.
The failure path code in this case unpins _all_ pages in either the
original mmu_rb_node or the new mmu_rb_node that was inserted between
(2) and (3).
3. In hfi1_mmu_rb_remove_unless_exact(), mmu_rb_node->refcount is
incremented outside of mmu_rb_handler->lock. As a result, mmu_rb_node
could be evicted by another thread that gets mmu_rb_handler->lock and
checks mmu_rb_node->refcount before mmu_rb_node->refcount is
incremented.
4. Related to #2 above, SDMA request submission failure path does not
check mmu_rb_node->refcount before freeing mmu_rb_node object.
If there are other SDMA requests in progress whose iovecs have
pointers to the now-freed mmu_rb_node(s), those pointers to the
now-freed mmu_rb nodes will be dereferenced when those SDMA requests
complete.

class: fix use-after-free in class_register()
The lock_class_key is still registered and can be found in
lock_keys_hash hlist after subsys_private is freed in error
handler path.A task who iterate over the lock_keys_hash
later may cause use-after-free.So fix that up and unregister
the lock_class_key before kfree(cp).
On our platform, a driver fails to kset_register because of
creating duplicate filename '/class/xxx'.With Kasan enabled,
it prints a invalid-access bug report.

It's worth noting that this only can happen if lockdep is enabled,
which is not true for normal system.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix accesses to uninit stack slots
Privileged programs are supposed to be able to read uninitialized stack
memory (ever since 6715df8d5) but, before this patch, these accesses
were permitted inconsistently. In particular, accesses were permitted
above state->allocated_stack, but not below it. In other words, if the
stack was already "large enough", the access was permitted, but
otherwise the access was rejected instead of being allowed to "grow the
stack". This undesired rejection was happening in two places:
- in check_stack_slot_within_bounds()
- in check_stack_range_initialized()
This patch arranges for these accesses to be permitted. A bunch of tests
that were relying on the old rejection had to change; all of them were
changed to add also run unprivileged, in which case the old behavior
persists. One tests couldn't be updated - global_func16 - because it
can't run unprivileged for other reasons.
This patch also fixes the tracking of the stack size for variable-offset
reads. This second fix is bundled in the same commit as the first one
because they're inter-related. Before this patch, writes to the stack
using registers containing a variable offset (as opposed to registers
with fixed, known values) were not properly contributing to the
function's needed stack size. As a result, it was possible for a program
to verify, but then to attempt to read out-of-bounds data at runtime
because a too small stack had been allocated for it.
Each function tracks the size of the stack it needs in
bpf_subprog_info.stack_depth, which is maintained by
update_stack_depth(). For regular memory accesses, check_mem_access()
was calling update_state_depth() but it was passing in only the fixed
part of the offset register, ignoring the variable offset. This was
incorrect; the minimum possible value of that register should be used
instead.
This tracking is now fixed by centralizing the tracking of stack size in
grow_stack_state(), and by lifting the calls to grow_stack_state() to
check_stack_access_within_bounds() as suggested by Andrii. The code is
now simpler and more convincingly tracks the correct maximum stack size.
check_stack_range_initialized() can now rely on enough stack having been
allocated for the access; this helps with the fix for the first issue.
A few tests were changed to also check the stack depth computation. The
one that fails without this patch is verifier_var_off:stack_write_priv_vs_unpriv.

The warning is caused by reading conf->max_nr_stripes in raid_status. The
code in raid_status reads mddev->private, casts it to struct r5conf and
reads the entry max_nr_stripes.
However, if we have different raid type than 4/5/6, mddev->private
doesn't point to struct r5conf; it may point to struct r0conf, struct
r1conf, struct r10conf or struct mpconf. If we cast a pointer to one
of these structs to struct r5conf, we will be reading invalid memory
and KASAN warns about it.
Fix this bug by reading struct r5conf only if raid type is 4, 5 or 6.

This is because pcibios_alloc_controller() holds hose_spinlock but
of_alias_get_id() takes of_mutex which can sleep.
The hose_spinlock protects the phb_bitmap, and also the hose_list, but
it doesn't need to be held while get_phb_number() calls the OF routines,
because those are only looking up information in the device tree.
So fix it by having get_phb_number() take the hose_spinlock itself, only
where required, and then dropping the lock before returning.
pcibios_alloc_controller() then needs to take the lock again before the
list_add() but that's safe, the order of the list is not important.

During SMC fallback process in connect syscall, kernel will
replaces TCP with SMC. In order to forward wakeup
smc socket waitqueue after fallback, kernel will sets
clcsk->sk_user_data to origin smc socket in
smc_fback_replace_callbacks().
Later, in shutdown syscall, kernel will calls
sk_psock_get(), which treats the clcsk->sk_user_data
as psock type, triggering the refcnt warning.
So, the root cause is that smc and psock, both will use
sk_user_data field. So they will mismatch this field
easily.
This patch solves it by using another bit(defined as
SK_USER_DATA_PSOCK) in PTRMASK, to mark whether
sk_user_data points to a psock object or not.
This patch depends on a PTRMASK introduced in commit f1ff5ce2cd5e
("net, sk_msg: Clear sk_user_data pointer on clone if tagged").
For there will possibly be more flags in the sk_user_data field,
this patch also refactor sk_user_data flags code to be more generic
to improve its maintainability.

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

If for some reason new_vport() fails during ovs_dp_cmd_new()
dp->upcall_portids must be freed.
Add missing kfree.

Unlike PAPR platforms where RTAS is only used in guests, on the IBM Cell
machines Linux runs with MSR[HV] set but also uses RTAS, provided by
SLOF.
Fix it by copying the MSR[HV] bit from the MSR value we've just read
using mfmsr into the value used for RTAS.
It seems like we could also fix it using an #ifdef CELL to set MSR[HV],
but that doesn't work because it's possible to build a single kernel
image that runs on both Cell native and pseries.

This turned out not to be an error in usb-storage but rather a nested
device reset attempt. That is, as the rtl8712 driver was being
unbound from a composite device in preparation for an unrelated USB
reset (that driver does not have pre_reset or post_reset callbacks),
its ->remove routine called usb_reset_device() -- thus nesting one
reset call within another.
Performing a reset as part of disconnect processing is a questionable
practice at best. However, the bug report points out that the USB
core does not have any protection against nested resets. Adding a
reset_in_progress flag and testing it will prevent such errors in the
future.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Check for NULL cpu_buffer in ring_buffer_wake_waiters()
On some machines the number of listed CPUs may be bigger than the actual
CPUs that exist. The tracing subsystem allocates a per_cpu directory with
access to the per CPU ring buffer via a cpuX file. But to save space, the
ring buffer will only allocate buffers for online CPUs, even though the
CPU array will be as big as the nr_cpu_ids.
With the addition of waking waiters on the ring buffer when closing the
file, the ring_buffer_wake_waiters() now needs to make sure that the
buffer is allocated (with the irq_work allocated with it) before trying to
wake waiters, as it will cause a NULL pointer dereference.
While debugging this, I added a NULL check for the buffer itself (which is
OK to do), and also NULL pointer checks against buffer->buffers (which is
not fine, and will WARN) as well as making sure the CPU number passed in
is within the nr_cpu_ids (which is also not fine if it isn't).

On hibernating, pm core calls into related hooks in sequence like:

.thaw
With .thaw_noirq hook being absent, the clock will be disabled in a

imx_uart_suspend_noirq()
clk_disable()
imx_uart_thaw

drmm_add_action_or_reset() instead of drmm_add_action() to prevent
memleak.

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Improve missing SIGTRAP checking
To catch missing SIGTRAP we employ a WARN in __perf_event_overflow(),
which fires if pending_sigtrap was already set: returning to user space
without consuming pending_sigtrap, and then having the event fire again
would re-enter the kernel and trigger the WARN.
This, however, seemed to miss the case where some events not associated
with progress in the user space task can fire and the interrupt handler
runs before the IRQ work meant to consume pending_sigtrap (and generate
the SIGTRAP).
syzbot gifted us this stack trace:

In this case, syzbot produced a program with event type
PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE and config PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK. The hrtimer
manages to fire again before the IRQ work got a chance to run, all while
never having returned to user space.
Improve the WARN to check for real progress in user space: approximate
this by storing a 32-bit hash of the current IP into pending_sigtrap,
and if an event fires while pending_sigtrap still matches the previous
IP, we assume no progress (false negatives are possible given we could
return to user space and trigger again on the same IP).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb: fix PTE marker handling in hugetlb_change_protection()
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: uffd-wp fixes for hugetlb_change_protection()".
Playing with virtio-mem and background snapshots (using uffd-wp) on
hugetlb in QEMU, I managed to trigger a VM_BUG_ON(). Looking into the
details, hugetlb_change_protection() seems to not handle uffd-wp correctly
in all cases.
Patch #1 fixes my test case. I don't have reproducers for patch #2, as it
requires running into migration entries.
I did not yet check in detail yet if !hugetlb code requires similar care.
This patch (of 2):
There are two problematic cases when stumbling over a PTE marker in
hugetlb_change_protection():
(1) We protect an uffd-wp PTE marker a second time using uffd-wp: we will
end up in the "!huge_pte_none(pte)" case and mess up the PTE marker.
(2) We unprotect a uffd-wp PTE marker: we will similarly end up in the
"!huge_pte_none(pte)" case even though we cleared the PTE, because
the "pte" variable is stale. We'll mess up the PTE marker.
For example, if we later stumble over such a "wrongly modified" PTE marker,
we'll treat it like a present PTE that maps some garbage page.
This can, for example, be triggered by mapping a memfd backed by huge
pages, registering uffd-wp, uffd-wp'ing an unmapped page and (a)
uffd-wp'ing it a second time; or (b) uffd-unprotecting it; or (c)
unregistering uffd-wp. Then, ff we trigger fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
on that file range, we will run into a VM_BUG_ON:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/uffd: fix pte marker when fork() without fork event
Patch series "mm: Fixes on pte markers".
Patch 1 resolves the syzkiller report from Pengfei.
Patch 2 further harden pte markers when used with the recent swapin error
markers. The major case is we should persist a swapin error marker after
fork(), so child shouldn't read a corrupted page.
This patch (of 2):
When fork(), dst_vma is not guaranteed to have VM_UFFD_WP even if src may
have it and has pte marker installed. The warning is improper along with
the comment. The right thing is to inherit the pte marker when needed, or
keep the dst pte empty.
A vague guess is this happened by an accident when there's the prior patch
to introduce src/dst vma into this helper during the uffd-wp feature got
developed and I probably messed up in the rebase, since if we replace
dst_vma with src_vma the warning & comment it all makes sense too.
Hugetlb did exactly the right here (copy_hugetlb_page_range()). Fix the
general path.

tracing/histograms: Fix memory leak problem
This reverts commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac.
As commit 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") said, the
"double free" problem reported by clang static analyzer is:
> In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating
> var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed.
> This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees
> the rest of the list.
However, if there is a problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr:
+ in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is
actually the N-th var_defs.name;
+ then in free_var_defs(), the names from 0th to (N-1)-th are freed;
IF ALLOCATING PROBLEM HAPPENED HERE!!! -+
\
|
0th 1th (N-1)-th N-th V
+-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+-----------
var_defs: | name | expr | name | expr | ... | name | expr | name | ///
+-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+-----------
These two frees don't act on same name, so there was no "double free"
problem before. Conversely, after that commit, we get a "memory leak"
problem because the above "N-th var_defs.name" is not freed.
If enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and inject a fault at where the N-th
var_defs.expr allocated, then execute on shell like:
$ echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=$v1,$v2:v1=bytes_req,v2=bytes_alloc' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
Then kmemleak reports:

This happens because the allocation uses the wrong unit (bits) when it

numbers of bits, the allocated object can be smaller than sizeof(long),
which results in invalid accesses.
Use bitmap_zalloc() to allocate and initialize the irq bitmap, paired with
bitmap_free() for consistency.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-49476

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: mt7921: fix kernel crash at mt7921_pci_remove
The crash log shown it is possible that mt7921_irq_handler is called while
devm_free_irq is being handled so mt76_free_device need to be postponed
until devm_free_irq is completed to solve the crash we free the mt76 device
too early.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
list: fix a data-race around ep->rdllist
ep_poll() first calls ep_events_available() with no lock held and checks
if ep->rdllist is empty by list_empty_careful(), which reads
rdllist->prev. Thus all accesses to it need some protection to avoid
store/load-tearing.
Note INIT_LIST_HEAD_RCU() already has the annotation for both prev
and next.
Commit bf3b9f6372c4 ("epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket
fds.") added the first lockless ep_events_available(), and commit
c5a282e9635e ("fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait()")
made some ep_events_available() calls lockless and added single call under
a lock, finally commit e59d3c64cba6 ("epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock
for zero timeout") made the last ep_events_available() lockless.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/papr_scm: Fix leaking nvdimm_events_map elements
Right now 'char *' elements allocated for individual 'stat_id' in
'papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map[]' during papr_scm_pmu_check_events(), get
leaked in papr_scm_remove() and papr_scm_pmu_register(),
papr_scm_pmu_check_events() error paths.
Also individual 'stat_id' arent NULL terminated 'char *' instead they are fixed
8-byte sized identifiers. However papr_scm_pmu_register() assumes it to be a
NULL terminated 'char *' and at other places it assumes it to be a
'papr_scm_perf_stat.stat_id' sized string which is 8-byes in size.
Fix this by allocating the memory for papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map to also
include space for 'stat_id' entries. This is possible since number of available
events/stat_ids are known upfront. This saves some memory and one extra level of
indirection from 'nvdimm_events_map' to 'stat_id'. Also rest of the code
can continue to call 'kfree(papr_scm_priv.nvdimm_events_map)' without needing to
iterate over the array and free up individual elements.

One way to trigger this is:
1. load a livepatch that patches kernel function xxx;
2. run bpftrace -e 'kfunc:xxx {}', this will fail (expected for now);
3. repeat #2 => gpf.
This is because the entry is added to direct_functions, but not removed.
Fix this by remove the entry from direct_functions when
register_ftrace_direct fails.
Also remove the last trailing space from ftrace.c, so we don't have to
worry about it anymore.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
On investigation looks like this panic was caused due to a 'stat_buffer' of
size==0 being provided to drc_pmem_query_stats() to fetch all performance
stats-ids of an NVDIMM. However drc_pmem_query_stats() shouldn't have been called
since the vPMEM NVDIMM doesn't support and performance stat-id's. This was caused
due to missing check for 'p->stat_buffer_len' at the beginning of
papr_scm_pmu_check_events() which indicates that the NVDIMM doesn't support
performance-stats.
Fix this by introducing the check for 'p->stat_buffer_len' at the beginning of
papr_scm_pmu_check_events().

step 1: set inode->i_isize = 8192
ext4_setattr

...
if (!error) ->will not update i_size

Now:
inode.i_size=4096
EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize=8192
step 2: Direct write 4096 bytes

iomap_dio_rw ->return error
if (extend)
ext4_handle_inode_extension

->Then trigger warning.
To solve above issue, if mark inode dirty failed in ext4_setattr just
set 'EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize' with old value.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-49209

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Fix memleak in tcp_bpf_sendmsg while sk msg is full
If tcp_bpf_sendmsg() is running while sk msg is full. When sk_msg_alloc()
returns -ENOMEM error, tcp_bpf_sendmsg() goes to wait_for_memory. If partial
memory has been alloced by sk_msg_alloc(), that is, msg_tx->sg.size is
greater than osize after sk_msg_alloc(), memleak occurs. To fix we use
sk_msg_trim() to release the allocated memory, then goto wait for memory.
Other call paths of sk_msg_alloc() have the similar issue, such as
tls_sw_sendmsg(), so handle sk_msg_trim logic inside sk_msg_alloc(),
as Cong Wang suggested.
This issue can cause the following info:

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix the svc_deferred_event trace class
Fix a NULL deref crash that occurs when an svc_rqst is deferred
while the sunrpc tracing subsystem is enabled. svc_revisit() sets
dr->xprt to NULL, so it can't be relied upon in the tracepoint to
provide the remote's address.
Unfortunately we can't revert the "svc_deferred_class" hunk in
commit ece200ddd54b ("sunrpc: Save remote presentation address in
svc_xprt for trace events") because there is now a specific check
of event format specifiers for unsafe dereferences. The warning
that check emits is:
event svc_defer_recv has unsafe dereference of argument 1
A "%pISpc" format specifier with a "struct sockaddr *" is indeed
flagged by this check.
Instead, take the brute-force approach used by the svcrdma_qp_error
tracepoint. Convert the dr::addr field into a presentation address
in the TP_fast_assign() arm of the trace event, and store that as
a string. This fix can be backported to -stable kernels.
In the meantime, commit c6ced22997ad ("tracing: Update print fmt
check to handle new __get_sockaddr() macro") is now in v5.18, so
this wonky fix can be replaced with __sockaddr() and friends
properly during the v5.19 merge window.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: storvsc: Fix swiotlb bounce buffer leak in confidential VM
storvsc_queuecommand() maps the scatter/gather list using scsi_dma_map(),
which in a confidential VM allocates swiotlb bounce buffers. If the I/O
submission fails in storvsc_do_io(), the I/O is typically retried by higher
level code, but the bounce buffer memory is never freed. The mostly like
cause of I/O submission failure is a full VMBus channel ring buffer, which
is not uncommon under high I/O loads. Eventually enough bounce buffer
memory leaks that the confidential VM can't do any I/O. The same problem
can arise in a non-confidential VM with kernel boot parameter
swiotlb=force.
Fix this by doing scsi_dma_unmap() in the case of an I/O submission
error, which frees the bounce buffer memory.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: don't use devres for mdiobus
As explained in commits:
74b6d7d13307 ("net: dsa: realtek: register the MDIO bus under devres")
5135e96a3dd2 ("net: dsa: don't allocate the slave_mii_bus using devres")
mdiobus_free() will panic when called from devm_mdiobus_free() <-
devres_release_all() <- __device_release_driver(), and that mdiobus was
not previously unregistered.
The mv88e6xxx is an MDIO device, so the initial set of constraints that
I thought would cause this (I2C or SPI buses which call ->remove on
->shutdown) do not apply. But there is one more which applies here.
If the DSA master itself is on a bus that calls ->remove from ->shutdown
(like dpaa2-eth, which is on the fsl-mc bus), there is a device link
between the switch and the DSA master, and device_links_unbind_consumers()
will unbind the Marvell switch driver on shutdown.

So the same treatment must be applied to all DSA switch drivers, which
is: either use devres for both the mdiobus allocation and registration,
or don't use devres at all.
The Marvell driver already has a good structure for mdiobus removal, so
just plug in mdiobus_free and get rid of devres.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-48817

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: ar9331: register the mdiobus under devres
As explained in commits:
74b6d7d13307 ("net: dsa: realtek: register the MDIO bus under devres")
5135e96a3dd2 ("net: dsa: don't allocate the slave_mii_bus using devres")
mdiobus_free() will panic when called from devm_mdiobus_free() <-
devres_release_all() <- __device_release_driver(), and that mdiobus was
not previously unregistered.
The ar9331 is an MDIO device, so the initial set of constraints that I
thought would cause this (I2C or SPI buses which call ->remove on
->shutdown) do not apply. But there is one more which applies here.
If the DSA master itself is on a bus that calls ->remove from ->shutdown
(like dpaa2-eth, which is on the fsl-mc bus), there is a device link
between the switch and the DSA master, and device_links_unbind_consumers()
will unbind the ar9331 switch driver on shutdown.
So the same treatment must be applied to all DSA switch drivers, which
is: either use devres for both the mdiobus allocation and registration,
or don't use devres at all.
The ar9331 driver doesn't have a complex code structure for mdiobus
removal, so just replace of_mdiobus_register with the devres variant in
order to be all-devres and ensure that we don't free a still-registered
bus.

The seville driver has a code structure that could accommodate both the
mdiobus_unregister and mdiobus_free calls, but it has an external
dependency upon mscc_miim_setup() from mdio-mscc-miim.c, which calls
devm_mdiobus_alloc_size() on its behalf. So rather than restructuring
that, and exporting yet one more symbol mscc_miim_teardown(), let's work
with devres and replace of_mdiobus_register with the devres variant.
When we use all-devres, we can ensure that devres doesn't free a
still-registered bus (it either runs both callbacks, or none).

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: buffer: Fix file related error handling in IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL
If we fail to copy the just created file descriptor to userland, we
try to clean up by putting back 'fd' and freeing 'ib'. The code uses
put_unused_fd() for the former which is wrong, as the file descriptor
was already published by fd_install() which gets called internally by
anon_inode_getfd().
This makes the error handling code leaving a half cleaned up file
descriptor table around and a partially destructed 'file' object,
allowing userland to play use-after-free tricks on us, by abusing
the still usable fd and making the code operate on a dangling
'file->private_data' pointer.
Instead of leaving the kernel in a partially corrupted state, don't
attempt to explicitly clean up and leave this to the process exit
path that'll release any still valid fds, including the one created
by the previous call to anon_inode_getfd(). Simply return -EFAULT to
indicate the error.

the following visible in dmesg;

Vlastimil Babka investigated a crash dump and found that a task

This failure is specific to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds. The root of the
problem is that kcompact0 is not rescheduling on a CPU while a task that
has isolated a large number of the pages from the LRU is waiting on
kcompact0 to reschedule so the pages can be released. While
shrink_inactive_list() only loops once around too_many_isolated, reclaim
can continue without rescheduling if sc->skipped_deactivate == 1 which
could happen if there was no file LRU and the inactive anon list was not
low.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: runtime: avoid EFIv2 runtime services on Apple x86 machines
Aditya reports [0] that his recent MacbookPro crashes in the firmware
when using the variable services at runtime. The culprit appears to be a
call to QueryVariableInfo(), which we did not use to call on Apple x86
machines in the past as they only upgraded from EFI v1.10 to EFI v2.40
firmware fairly recently, and QueryVariableInfo() (along with
UpdateCapsule() et al) was added in EFI v2.00.
The only runtime service introduced in EFI v2.00 that we actually use in
Linux is QueryVariableInfo(), as the capsule based ones are optional,
generally not used at runtime (all the LVFS/fwupd firmware update
infrastructure uses helper EFI programs that invoke capsule update at
boot time, not runtime), and not implemented by Apple machines in the
first place. QueryVariableInfo() is used to 'safely' set variables,
i.e., only when there is enough space. This prevents machines with buggy
firmwares from corrupting their NVRAMs when they run out of space.
Given that Apple machines have been using EFI v1.10 services only for
the longest time (the EFI v2.0 spec was released in 2006, and Linux
support for the newly introduced runtime services was added in 2011, but
the MacbookPro12,1 released in 2015 still claims to be EFI v1.10 only),
let's avoid the EFI v2.0 ones on all Apple x86 machines.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Forcibly leave nested virt when SMM state is toggled
Forcibly leave nested virtualization operation if userspace toggles SMM
state via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS or KVM_SYNC_X86_EVENTS. If userspace
forces the vCPU out of SMM while it's post-VMXON and then injects an SMI,
vmx_enter_smm() will overwrite vmx->nested.smm.vmxon and end up with both
vmxon=false and smm.vmxon=false, but all other nVMX state allocated.
Don't attempt to gracefully handle the transition as (a) most transitions
are nonsencial, e.g. forcing SMM while L2 is running, (b) there isn't
sufficient information to handle all transitions, e.g. SVM wants access
to the SMRAM save state, and (c) KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS must precede
KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE during state restore as the latter disallows putting
the vCPU into L2 if SMM is active, and disallows tagging the vCPU as
being post-VMXON in SMM if SMM is not active.
Abuse of KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS manifests as a WARN and memory leak in nVMX
due to failure to free vmcs01's shadow VMCS, but the bug goes far beyond
just a memory leak, e.g. toggling SMM on while L2 is active puts the vCPU
in an architecturally impossible state.

The basic flow:
1. run time suspend call xhci_suspend, xhci parent devices gate the clock.
2. echo mem >/sys/power/state, system _device_suspend call xhci_suspend
3. xhci_suspend call xhci_disable_hub_port_wake, which access register,
but clock already gated by run time suspend.
This problem was hidden by power domain driver, which call run time resume before it.
But the below commit remove it and make this issue happen.
commit c1df456d0f06e ("PM: domains: Don't runtime resume devices at genpd_prepare()")
This patch call run time resume before suspend to make sure clock is on
before access register.

The warning indicates that MSR_EE being set(interrupt enabled) when
there was an overflown PMC detected. This could happen in
power_pmu_disable since it runs under interrupt soft disable
condition ( local_irq_save ) and not with interrupts hard disabled.
commit 2c9ac51b850d ("powerpc/perf: Fix PMU callbacks to clear
pending PMI before resetting an overflown PMC") intended to clear
PMI pending bit in Paca when disabling the PMU. It could happen
that PMC gets overflown while code is in power_pmu_disable
callback function. Hence add a check to see if PMI pending bit
is set in Paca before clearing it via clear_pmi_pending.

net/mlx5e: Fix handling of wrong devices during bond netevent
Current implementation of bond netevent handler only check if
the handled netdev is VF representor and it missing a check if
the VF representor is on the same phys device of the bond handling
the netevent.
Fix by adding the missing check and optimizing the check if
the netdev is VF representor so it will not access uninitialized
private data and crashes.

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: avoid scanning potential huge holes
When using devm_request_free_mem_region() and devm_memremap_pages() to
add ZONE_DEVICE memory, if requested free mem region's end pfn were
huge(e.g., 0x400000000), the node_end_pfn() will be also huge (see
move_pfn_range_to_zone()). Thus it creates a huge hole between
node_start_pfn() and node_end_pfn().
We found on some AMD APUs, amdkfd requested such a free mem region and
created a huge hole. In such a case, following code snippet was just
doing busy test_bit() looping on the huge hole.
for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn++) {
struct page *page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);
if (!page)
continue;
...
}
So we got a soft lockup:

The panic happens in hfi1_ipoib_txreq_deinit() because there is a NULL
deref when hfi1_ipoib_netdev_dtor() is called in this error case.
hfi1_ipoib_txreq_init() and hfi1_ipoib_rxq_init() are self unwinding so
fix by adjusting the error paths accordingly.
Other changes:
- hfi1_ipoib_free_rdma_netdev() is deleted including the free_netdev()
since the netdev core code deletes calls free_netdev()
- The switch to the accelerated entrances is moved to the success path.

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-48727

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Avoid consuming a stale esr value when SError occur
When any exception other than an IRQ occurs, the CPU updates the ESR_EL2
register with the exception syndrome. An SError may also become pending,
and will be synchronised by KVM. KVM notes the exception type, and whether
an SError was synchronised in exit_code.
When an exception other than an IRQ occurs, fixup_guest_exit() updates
vcpu->arch.fault.esr_el2 from the hardware register. When an SError was
synchronised, the vcpu esr value is used to determine if the exception
was due to an HVC. If so, ELR_EL2 is moved back one instruction. This
is so that KVM can process the SError first, and re-execute the HVC if
the guest survives the SError.
But if an IRQ synchronises an SError, the vcpu's esr value is stale.
If the previous non-IRQ exception was an HVC, KVM will corrupt ELR_EL2,
causing an unrelated guest instruction to be executed twice.
Check ARM_EXCEPTION_CODE() before messing with ELR_EL2, IRQs don't
update this register so don't need to check.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: Forward wakeup to smc socket waitqueue after fallback
When we replace TCP with SMC and a fallback occurs, there may be
some socket waitqueue entries remaining in smc socket->wq, such
as eppoll_entries inserted by userspace applications.
After the fallback, data flows over TCP/IP and only clcsocket->wq
will be woken up. Applications can't be notified by the entries
which were inserted in smc socket->wq before fallback. So we need
a mechanism to wake up smc socket->wq at the same time if some
entries remaining in it.
The current workaround is to transfer the entries from smc socket->wq
to clcsock->wq during the fallback. But this may cause a crash
like this:

<TASK>
The crash is caused by privately transferring waitqueue entries from
smc socket->wq to clcsock->wq. The owners of these entries, such as
epoll, have no idea that the entries have been transferred to a
different socket wait queue and still use original waitqueue spinlock
(smc socket->wq.wait.lock) to make the entries operation exclusive,
but it doesn't work. The operations to the entries, such as removing
from the waitqueue (now is clcsock->wq after fallback), may cause a
crash when clcsock waitqueue is being iterated over at the moment.
This patch tries to fix this by no longer transferring wait queue
entries privately, but introducing own implementations of clcsock's
callback functions in fallback situation. The callback functions will
forward the wakeup to smc socket->wq if clcsock->wq is actually woken
up and smc socket->wq has remaining entries.

Description:

perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix crash with stop filters in single-range mode
Add a check for !buf->single before calling pt_buffer_region_size in a
place where a missing check can cause a kernel crash.
Fixes a bug introduced by commit 670638477aed ("perf/x86/intel/pt:
Opportunistically use single range output mode"), which added a
support for PT single-range output mode. Since that commit if a PT
stop filter range is hit while tracing, the kernel will crash because
of a null pointer dereference in pt_handle_status due to calling
pt_buffer_region_size without a ToPA configured.
The commit which introduced single-range mode guarded almost all uses of
the ToPA buffer variables with checks of the buf->single variable, but
missed the case where tracing was stopped by the PT hardware, which
happens when execution hits a configured stop filter.
Tested that hitting a stop filter while PT recording successfully
records a trace with this patch but crashes without this patch.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/region: Fix null pointer dereference for resetting decoder
Not all decoders have a reset callback.
The CXL specification allows a host bridge with a single root port to
have no explicit HDM decoders. Currently the region driver assumes there
are none. As such the CXL core creates a special pass through decoder
instance without a commit/reset callback.
Prior to this patch, the ->reset() callback was called unconditionally when
calling cxl_region_decode_reset. Thus a configuration with 1 Host Bridge,
1 Root Port, and one directly attached CXL type 3 device or multiple CXL
type 3 devices attached to downstream ports of a switch can cause a null
pointer dereference.
Before the fix, a kernel crash was observed when we destroy the region, and
a pass through decoder is reset.
The issue can be reproduced as below,
1) create a region with a CXL setup which includes a HB with a
single root port under which a memdev is attached directly.
2) destroy the region with cxl destroy-region regionX -f.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: emu10k1: Fix out of bounds access in snd_emu10k1_pcm_channel_alloc()
The voice allocator sometimes begins allocating from near the end of the
array and then wraps around, however snd_emu10k1_pcm_channel_alloc()
accesses the newly allocated voices as if it never wrapped around.
This results in out of bounds access if the first voice has a high enough
index so that first_voice + requested_voice_count > NUM_G (64).
The more voices are requested, the more likely it is for this to occur.
This was initially discovered using PipeWire, however it can be reproduced
by calling aplay multiple times with 16 channels:
aplay -r 48000 -D plughw:CARD=Live,DEV=3 -c 16 /dev/zero

Security Advisory: CVE-2022-48689

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: TX zerocopy should not sense pfmemalloc status
We got a recent syzbot report [1] showing a possible misuse
of pfmemalloc page status in TCP zerocopy paths.
Indeed, for pages coming from user space or other layers,
using page_is_pfmemalloc() is moot, and possibly could give
false positives.
There has been attempts to make page_is_pfmemalloc() more robust,
but not using it in the first place in this context is probably better,
removing cpu cycles.
Note to stable teams :
You need to backport 84ce071e38a6 ("net: introduce
__skb_fill_page_desc_noacc") as a prereq.
Race is more probable after commit c07aea3ef4d4
("mm: add a signature in struct page") because page_is_pfmemalloc()
is now using low order bit from page->lru.next, which can change
more often than page->index.
Low order bit should never be set for lru.next (when used as an anchor
in LRU list), so KCSAN report is mostly a false positive.
Backporting to older kernel versions seems not necessary.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/core: Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow
Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow by using mmput_async().
From the below call trace [1] can see that calling mmput() once we have
the umem_odp->umem_mutex locked as required by
ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() might trigger in the same task the
exit_mmap()->__mmu_notifier_release()->mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() which
may dead lock when trying to lock the same mutex.
Moving to use mmput_async() will solve the problem as the above
exit_mmap() flow will be called in other task and will be executed once
the lock will be available.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: Fix possible access to freed memory in link clear
After modifying the QP to the Error state, all RX WR would be completed
with WC in IB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR status. Current implementation does not
wait for it is done, but destroy the QP and free the link group directly.
So there is a risk that accessing the freed memory in tasklet context.

drm/i915/gem: Really move i915_gem_context.link under ref protection
i915_perf assumes that it can use the i915_gem_context reference to
protect its i915->gem.contexts.list iteration. However, this requires
that we do not remove the context from the list until after we drop the
final reference and release the struct. If, as currently, we remove the
context from the list during context_close(), the link.next pointer may
be poisoned while we are holding the context reference and cause a GPF:

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: slub: fix flush_cpu_slab()/__free_slab() invocations in task context.
Commit 5a836bf6b09f ("mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations
__free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context") moved all flush_cpu_slab()
invocations to the global workqueue to avoid a problem related
with deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() being called from an IRQ context
on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
When the flush_all_cpu_locked() function is called from a task context
it may happen that a workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set ends up
flushing the global workqueue, this will cause a dependency issue.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: fix NULL deref in bond_rr_gen_slave_id
Fix a NULL dereference of the struct bonding.rr_tx_counter member because
if a bond is initially created with an initial mode != zero (Round Robin)
the memory required for the counter is never created and when the mode is
changed there is never any attempt to verify the memory is allocated upon
switching modes.

ceph: drop messages from MDS when unmounting
When unmounting all the dirty buffers will be flushed and after
the last osd request is finished the last reference of the i_count
will be released. Then it will flush the dirty cap/snap to MDSs,
and the unmounting won't wait the possible acks, which will ihold
the inodes when updating the metadata locally but makes no sense
any more, of this. This will make the evict_inodes() to skip these
inodes.
If encrypt is enabled the kernel generate a warning when removing
the encrypt keys when the skipped inodes still hold the keyring:

Description:

PCI: pciehp: Fix infinite loop in IRQ handler upon power fault
The Power Fault Detected bit in the Slot Status register differs from
all other hotplug events in that it is sticky: It can only be cleared
after turning off slot power. Per PCIe r5.0, sec. 6.7.1.8:
If a power controller detects a main power fault on the hot-plug slot,
it must automatically set its internal main power fault latch [...].
The main power fault latch is cleared when software turns off power to
the hot-plug slot.
The stickiness used to cause interrupt storms and infinite loops which
were fixed in 2009 by commits 5651c48cfafe ("PCI pciehp: fix power fault
interrupt storm problem") and 99f0169c17f3 ("PCI: pciehp: enable
software notification on empty slots").
Unfortunately in 2020 the infinite loop issue was inadvertently
reintroduced by commit 8edf5332c393 ("PCI: pciehp: Fix MSI interrupt
race"): The hardirq handler pciehp_isr() clears the PFD bit until
pciehp's power_fault_detected flag is set. That happens in the IRQ
thread pciehp_ist(), which never learns of the event because the hardirq
handler is stuck in an infinite loop. Fix by setting the
power_fault_detected flag already in the hardirq handler.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: virtio: fix completion handling
The driver currently assumes that the notify callback is only received
when the device is done with all the queued buffers.
However, this is not true, since the notify callback could be called
without any of the queued buffers being completed (for example, with
virtio-pci and shared interrupts) or with only some of the buffers being
completed (since the driver makes them available to the device in
multiple separate virtqueue_add_sgs() calls).
This can lead to incorrect data on the I2C bus or memory corruption in
the guest if the device operates on buffers which are have been freed by
the driver. (The WARN_ON in the driver is also triggered.)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix kernel address leakage in atomic cmpxchg's r0 aux reg
The implementation of BPF_CMPXCHG on a high level has the following parameters:
.-[old-val] .-[new-val]
BPF_R0 = cmpxchg{32,64}(DST_REG + insn->off, BPF_R0, SRC_REG)
`-[mem-loc] `-[old-val]
Given a BPF insn can only have two registers (dst, src), the R0 is fixed and
used as an auxilliary register for input (old value) as well as output (returning
old value from memory location). While the verifier performs a number of safety
checks, it misses to reject unprivileged programs where R0 contains a pointer as
old value.
Through brute-forcing it takes about ~16sec on my machine to leak a kernel pointer
with BPF_CMPXCHG. The PoC is basically probing for kernel addresses by storing the
guessed address into the map slot as a scalar, and using the map value pointer as
R0 while SRC_REG has a canary value to detect a matching address.
Fix it by checking R0 for pointers, and reject if that's the case for unprivileged
programs.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_debug: Don't call kcalloc() if size arg is zero
If the size arg to kcalloc() is zero, it returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Because of
that, for a following NULL pointer check to work on the returned pointer,
kcalloc() must not be called with the size arg equal to zero. Return early
without error before the kcalloc() call if size arg is zero.

net: stmmac: Disable Tx queues when reconfiguring the interface
The Tx queues were not disabled in situations where the driver needed to
stop the interface to apply a new configuration. This could result in a
kernel panic when doing any of the 3 following actions:
* reconfiguring the number of queues (ethtool -L)
* reconfiguring the size of the ring buffers (ethtool -G)
* installing/removing an XDP program (ip l set dev ethX xdp)
Prevent the panic by making sure netif_tx_disable is called when stopping
an interface.
Without this patch, the following kernel panic can be observed when doing
any of the actions above:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff80001238d040

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ethtool: do not perform operations on net devices being unregistered
There is a short period between a net device starts to be unregistered
and when it is actually gone. In that time frame ethtool operations
could still be performed, which might end up in unwanted or undefined
behaviours[1].
Do not allow ethtool operations after a net device starts its
unregistration. This patch targets the netlink part as the ioctl one
isn't affected: the reference to the net device is taken and the
operation is executed within an rtnl lock section and the net device
won't be found after unregister.
[1] For example adding Tx queues after unregister ends up in NULL
pointer exceptions and UaFs, such as:

Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it returns
without completing all destroy operations and that leads to memory leak.
Instead, complete the destroy flow before return error.
Also move mlx5_debug_cq_remove() to the beginning of mlx5_core_destroy_cq()
to be symmetrical with mlx5_core_create_cq().

In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/entry: Clear X86_FEATURE_SMAP when CONFIG_X86_SMAP=n
Commit
3c73b81a9164 ("x86/entry, selftests: Further improve user entry sanity checks")
added a warning if AC is set when in the kernel.
Commit
662a0221893a3d ("x86/entry: Fix AC assertion")
changed the warning to only fire if the CPU supports SMAP.
However, the warning can still trigger on a machine that supports SMAP
but where it's disabled in the kernel config and when running the
syscall_nt selftest, for example:
------------[ cut here ]------------

...
Call Trace:
? irqentry_enter

IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_SMAP) could be added to the warning condition, but
even this would not be enough in case SMAP is disabled at boot time with
the "nosmap" parameter.
To be consistent with "nosmap" behaviour, clear X86_FEATURE_SMAP when
!CONFIG_X86_SMAP.
Found using entry-fuzz + satrandconfig.

mwifiex: bring down link before deleting interface
We can deadlock when rmmod'ing the driver or going through firmware
reset, because the cfg80211_unregister_wdev() has to bring down the link
for us, ... which then grab the same wiphy lock.
nl80211_del_interface() already handles a very similar case, with a nice
description:
/*
* We hold RTNL, so this is safe, without RTNL opencount cannot
* reach 0, and thus the rdev cannot be deleted.
*
* We need to do it for the dev_close(), since that will call
* the netdev notifiers, and we need to acquire the mutex there
* but don't know if we get there from here or from some other
* place (e.g. "ip link set ... down").
*/
mutex_unlock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
...
Do similarly for mwifiex teardown, by ensuring we bring the link down
first.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: gadget: Bail from dwc3_gadget_exit() if dwc->gadget is NULL
There exists a possible scenario in which dwc3_gadget_init() can fail:
during during host -> peripheral mode switch in dwc3_set_mode(), and
a pending gadget driver fails to bind. Then, if the DRD undergoes
another mode switch from peripheral->host the resulting
dwc3_gadget_exit() will attempt to reference an invalid and dangling
dwc->gadget pointer as well as call dma_free_coherent() on unmapped
DMA pointers.
The exact scenario can be reproduced as follows:
- Start DWC3 in peripheral mode
- Configure ConfigFS gadget with FunctionFS instance (or use g_ffs)
- Run FunctionFS userspace application (open EPs, write descriptors, etc)
- Bind gadget driver to DWC3's UDC
- Switch DWC3 to host mode
=> dwc3_gadget_exit() is called. usb_del_gadget() will put the
ConfigFS driver instance on the gadget_driver_pending_list
- Stop FunctionFS application (closes the ep files)
- Switch DWC3 to peripheral mode
=> dwc3_gadget_init() fails as usb_add_gadget() calls
check_pending_gadget_drivers() and attempts to rebind the UDC
to the ConfigFS gadget but fails with -19 (-ENODEV) because the
FFS instance is not in FFS_ACTIVE state (userspace has not
re-opened and written the descriptors yet, i.e. desc_ready!=0).
- Switch DWC3 back to host mode
=> dwc3_gadget_exit() is called again, but this time dwc->gadget
is invalid.
Although it can be argued that userspace should take responsibility
for ensuring that the FunctionFS application be ready prior to
allowing the composite driver bind to the UDC, failure to do so
should not result in a panic from the kernel driver.
Fix this by setting dwc->gadget to NULL in the failure path of
dwc3_gadget_init() and add a check to dwc3_gadget_exit() to bail out
unless the gadget pointer is valid.

RDMA/ipoib: Fix warning caused by destroying non-initial netns
After the commit 5ce2dced8e95 ("RDMA/ipoib: Set rtnl_link_ops for ipoib

destroying that netns lets the device vanish instead of moving it back to
the initial netns, This is happening because default_device_exit() skips
the interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set.
Steps to reporoduce:
ip netns add foo
ip link set mlx5_ib0 netns foo
ip netns delete foo

restore the IPoIB interfaces to the initial netns.

IB/mlx5: Fix initializing CQ fragments buffer
The function init_cq_frag_buf() can be called to initialize the current CQ
fragments buffer cq->buf, or the temporary cq->resize_buf that is filled
during CQ resize operation.
However, the offending commit started to use function get_cqe() for
getting the CQEs, the issue with this change is that get_cqe() always
returns CQEs from cq->buf, which leads us to initialize the wrong buffer,
and in case of enlarging the CQ we try to access elements beyond the size
of the current cq->buf and eventually hit a kernel panic.

and a splat.
As usually with such warnings three conditions must be met for the warning
to trigger:
- there must be no skb size rounding up (e.g. reply_size of 684);
- string set must be per-device (so that the header gets populated);
- the device name must be at least 12 characters long.
all in all with current user space it looks like reading priv flags
is the only place this could potentially happen. Or with syzbot :)

Security Advisory: CVE-2021-47226

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fpu: Invalidate FPU state after a failed XRSTOR from a user buffer
Both Intel and AMD consider it to be architecturally valid for XRSTOR to
fail with #PF but nonetheless change the register state. The actual
conditions under which this might occur are unclear [1], but it seems
plausible that this might be triggered if one sibling thread unmaps a page
and invalidates the shared TLB while another sibling thread is executing
XRSTOR on the page in question.
__fpu__restore_sig() can execute XRSTOR while the hardware registers
are preserved on behalf of a different victim task (using the
fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx mechanism), and, in theory, XRSTOR could fail but
modify the registers.
If this happens, then there is a window in which __fpu__restore_sig()
could schedule out and the victim task could schedule back in without
reloading its own FPU registers. This would result in part of the FPU
state that __fpu__restore_sig() was attempting to load leaking into the
victim task's user-visible state.
Invalidate preserved FPU registers on XRSTOR failure to prevent this
situation from corrupting any state.
[1] Frequent readers of the errata lists might imagine "complex
microarchitectural conditions".

net: bridge: fix vlan tunnel dst refcnt when egressing
The egress tunnel code uses dst_clone() and directly sets the result
which is wrong because the entry might have 0 refcnt or be already deleted,
causing number of problems. It also triggers the WARN_ON() in dst_hold()[1]
when a refcnt couldn't be taken. Fix it by using dst_hold_safe() and
checking if a reference was actually taken before setting the dst.

net/mlx5e: CT, Fix multiple allocations and memleak of mod acts
CT clear action offload adds additional mod hdr actions to the
flow's original mod actions in order to clear the registers which
hold ct_state.
When such flow also includes encap action, a neigh update event
can cause the driver to unoffload the flow and then reoffload it.
Each time this happens, the ct clear handling adds that same set
of mod hdr actions to reset ct_state until the max of mod hdr
actions is reached.
Also the driver never releases the allocated mod hdr actions and
causing a memleak.
Fix above two issues by moving CT clear mod acts allocation
into the parsing actions phase and only use it when offloading the rule.
The release of mod acts will be done in the normal flow_put().

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Fix scsi_mode_sense() buffer length handling
Several problems exist with scsi_mode_sense() buffer length handling:
1) The allocation length field of the MODE SENSE(10) command is 16-bits,
occupying bytes 7 and 8 of the CDB. With this command, access to mode
pages larger than 255 bytes is thus possible. However, the CDB
allocation length field is set by assigning len to byte 8 only, thus
truncating buffer length larger than 255.
2) If scsi_mode_sense() is called with len smaller than 8 with
sdev->use_10_for_ms set, or smaller than 4 otherwise, the buffer length
is increased to 8 and 4 respectively, and the buffer is zero filled
with these increased values, thus corrupting the memory following the
buffer.
Fix these 2 problems by using put_unaligned_be16() to set the allocation
length field of MODE SENSE(10) CDB and by returning an error when len is
too small.
Furthermore, if len is larger than 255B, always try MODE SENSE(10) first,
even if the device driver did not set sdev->use_10_for_ms. In case of
invalid opcode error for MODE SENSE(10), access to mode pages larger than
255 bytes are not retried using MODE SENSE(6). To avoid buffer length
overflows for the MODE_SENSE(10) case, check that len is smaller than 65535
bytes.
While at it, also fix the folowing:
* Use get_unaligned_be16() to retrieve the mode data length and block

Security Advisory: CVE-2021-47089

Scandy Opinion:

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, but Red Hat's policy is to taint every subpackage built from the vulnerable source package with the same vulnerability. In this case, however, kernel-headers only contains C header files needed to build software that interfaces with the kernel. Consider a global exception for this vulnerability.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kfence: fix memory leak when cat kfence objects
Hulk robot reported a kmemleak problem:

I find that we can easily reproduce this problem with the following
commands:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/kfence/objects
echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
The leaked memory is allocated in the stack below:
do_syscall_64
do_sys_open
do_dentry_open
full_proxy_open
seq_open ---> alloc seq_file
vfs_read
full_proxy_read
seq_read
seq_read_iter
traverse ---> alloc seq_buf
And it should have been released in the following process:
do_syscall_64
syscall_exit_to_user_mode
exit_to_user_mode_prepare
task_work_run
____fput
__fput
full_proxy_release ---> free here
However, the release function corresponding to file_operations is not
implemented in kfence. As a result, a memory leak occurs. Therefore,
the solution to this problem is to implement the corresponding release
function.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: 9063/1: mm: reduce maximum number of CPUs if DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL is enabled
The debugging code for kmap_local() doubles the number of per-CPU fixmap
slots allocated for kmap_local(), in order to use half of them as guard
regions. This causes the fixmap region to grow downwards beyond the start
of its reserved window if the supported number of CPUs is large, and collide
with the newly added virtual DT mapping right below it, which is obviously
not good.
One manifestation of this is EFI boot on a kernel built with NR_CPUS=32
and CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL=y, which may pass the FDT in highmem, resulting
in block entries below the fixmap region that the fixmap code misidentifies
as fixmap table entries, and subsequently tries to dereference using a
phys-to-virt translation that is only valid for lowmem. This results in a
cryptic splat such as the one below.

So let's limit CONFIG_NR_CPUS to 16 when CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL=y. Also,
fix the BUILD_BUG_ON() check that was supposed to catch this, by checking
whether the region grows below the start address rather than above the end
address.

can: j1939: fix errant WARN_ON_ONCE in j1939_session_deactivate
The conclusion "j1939_session_deactivate() should be called with a
session ref-count of at least 2" is incorrect. In some concurrent
scenarios, j1939_session_deactivate can be called with the session
ref-count less than 2. But there is not any problem because it
will check the session active state before session putting in
j1939_session_deactivate_locked().
Here is the concurrent scenario of the problem reported by syzbot
and my reproduction log.
