In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in kerberos authentication
Setting sess->user = NULL was introduced to fix the dangling pointer
created by ksmbd_free_user. However, it is possible another thread could
be operating on the session and make use of sess->user after it has been
passed to ksmbd_free_user but before sess->user is set to NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: vnifilter: Fix unlocked deletion of default FDB entry
When a VNI is deleted from a VXLAN device in 'vnifilter' mode, the FDB
entry associated with the default remote (assuming one was configured)
is deleted without holding the hash lock. This is wrong and will result
in a warning [1] being generated by the lockdep annotation that was
added by commit ebe642067455 ("vxlan: Create wrappers for FDB lookup").
Reproducer:
# ip link add vx0 up type vxlan dstport 4789 external vnifilter local 192.0.2.1
# bridge vni add vni 10010 remote 198.51.100.1 dev vx0
# bridge vni del vni 10010 dev vx0
Fix by acquiring the hash lock before the deletion and releasing it
afterwards. Blame the original commit that introduced the issue rather
than the one that exposed it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: Fix race condition in AF_XDP generic RX path
Move rx_lock from xsk_socket to xsk_buff_pool.
Fix synchronization for shared umem mode in
generic RX path where multiple sockets share
single xsk_buff_pool.
RX queue is exclusive to xsk_socket, while FILL
queue can be shared between multiple sockets.
This could result in race condition where two
CPU cores access RX path of two different sockets
sharing the same umem.
Protect both queues by acquiring spinlock in shared
xsk_buff_pool.
Lock contention may be minimized in the future by some
per-thread FQ buffering.
It's safe and necessary to move spin_lock_bh(rx_lock)
after xsk_rcv_check():
* xs->pool and spinlock_init is synchronized by
xsk_bind() -> xsk_is_bound() memory barriers.
* xsk_rcv_check() may return true at the moment
of xsk_release() or xsk_unbind_dev(),
however this will not cause any data races or
race conditions. xsk_unbind_dev() removes xdp
socket from all maps and waits for completion
of all outstanding rx operations. Packets in
RX path will either complete safely or drop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: avoid NULL pointer dereference in skb_dequeue()
A NULL pointer dereference can occur in skb_dequeue() when processing a
QCA firmware crash dump on WCN7851 (0489:e0f3).
[ 93.672166] Bluetooth: hci0: ACL memdump size(589824)
[ 93.672475] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
[ 93.672517] Workqueue: hci0 hci_devcd_rx [bluetooth]
[ 93.672598] RIP: 0010:skb_dequeue+0x50/0x80
The issue stems from handle_dump_pkt_qca() returning 0 even when a dump
packet is successfully processed. This is because it incorrectly
forwards the return value of hci_devcd_init() (which returns 0 on
success). As a result, the caller (btusb_recv_acl_qca() or
btusb_recv_evt_qca()) assumes the packet was not handled and passes it
to hci_recv_frame(), leading to premature kfree() of the skb.
Later, hci_devcd_rx() attempts to dequeue the same skb from the dump
queue, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by:
1. Making handle_dump_pkt_qca() return 0 on success and negative errno
on failure, consistent with kernel conventions.
2. Splitting dump packet detection into separate functions for ACL
and event packets for better structure and readability.
This ensures dump packets are properly identified and consumed, avoiding
double handling and preventing NULL pointer access.

As described in Gerrard's report [1], there are use cases where a netem
child qdisc will make the parent qdisc's enqueue callback reentrant.
In the case of drr, there won't be a UAF, but the code will add the same

to the list to cover for the reentrant case.

...
This happens when copying the coredump segment list in
bnxt_hwrm_dbg_dma_data() with the HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_LIST FW command.
The info->dest_buf buffer is allocated based on the number of coredump
segments returned by the FW. The segment list is then DMA'ed by
the FW and the length of the DMA is returned by FW. The driver then
copies this DMA'ed segment list to info->dest_buf.
In some cases, this DMA length may exceed the info->dest_buf length
and cause the above BUG condition. Fix it by capping the copy
length to not exceed the length of info->dest_buf. The extra
DMA data contains no useful information.
This code path is shared for the HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_LIST and the
HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_RETRIEVE FW commands. The buffering is different
for these 2 FW commands. To simplify the logic, we need to move
the line to adjust the buffer length for HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_RETRIEVE
up, so that the new check to cap the copy length will work for both
commands.

irqchip/qcom-mpm: Prevent crash when trying to handle non-wake GPIOs
On Qualcomm chipsets not all GPIOs are wakeup capable. Those GPIOs do not
have a corresponding MPM pin and should not be handled inside the MPM
driver. The IRQ domain hierarchy is always applied, so it's required to
explicitly disconnect the hierarchy for those. The pinctrl-msm driver marks
these with GPIO_NO_WAKE_IRQ. qcom-pdc has a check for this, but
irq-qcom-mpm is currently missing the check. This is causing crashes when
setting up interrupts for non-wake GPIOs:

example if another connection has sent a session setup request to
bind to the session being free'd. The handler for that connection could
be in the smb2_sess_setup function which makes use of sess->user.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: use sock_gen_put() when sk_state is TCP_TIME_WAIT
It is possible for a pointer of type struct inet_timewait_sock to be
returned from the functions __inet_lookup_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established(). This can cause a crash when the
returned pointer is of type struct inet_timewait_sock and
sock_put() is called on it. The following is a crash call stack that
shows sk->sk_wmem_alloc being accessed in sk_free() during the call to
sock_put() on a struct inet_timewait_sock pointer. To avoid this issue,
use sock_gen_put() instead of sock_put() when sk->sk_state
is TCP_TIME_WAIT.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: ump: Fix buffer overflow at UMP SysEx message conversion
The conversion function from MIDI 1.0 to UMP packet contains an
internal buffer to keep the incoming MIDI bytes, and its size is 4, as
it was supposed to be the max size for a MIDI1 UMP packet data.
However, the implementation overlooked that SysEx is handled in a
different format, and it can be up to 6 bytes, as found in
do_convert_to_ump(). It leads eventually to a buffer overflow, and
may corrupt the memory when a longer SysEx message is received.
The fix is simply to extend the buffer size to 6 to fit with the SysEx
UMP message.

net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class with netem as child qdisc
As described in Gerrard's report [1], we have a UAF case when an hfsc class
has a netem child qdisc. The crux of the issue is that hfsc is assuming
that checking for cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 guarantees that it hasn't inserted
the class in the vttree or eltree (which is not true for the netem
duplicate case).
This patch checks the n_active class variable to make sure that the code
won't insert the class in the vttree or eltree twice, catering for the
reentrant case.

pds_core: handle unsupported PDS_CORE_CMD_FW_CONTROL result
If the FW doesn't support the PDS_CORE_CMD_FW_CONTROL command
the driver might at the least print garbage and at the worst
crash when the user runs the "devlink dev info" devlink command.
This happens because the stack variable fw_list is not 0
initialized which results in fw_list.num_fw_slots being a
garbage value from the stack. Then the driver tries to access
fw_list.fw_names[i] with i >= ARRAY_SIZE and runs off the end
of the array.
Fix this by initializing the fw_list and by not failing
completely if the devcmd fails because other useful information
is printed via devlink dev info even if the devcmd fails.

Make the wait_context a full part of the q_info struct rather

loop has given up.
There was a case where a slow development firmware caused
the adminq request to time out, but then later the FW finally
finished the request and sent the interrupt. The handler tried
to complete_all() the completion context that had been created
on the stack in pdsc_adminq_post() but no longer existed.
This caused bad pointer usage, kernel crashes, and much wailing

Restore an IRTE back to host control (remapped or posted MSI mode) if the

the GSI routing type. Updating the IRTE if and only if the new GSI is an

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix isochronous Ring Underrun/Overrun event handling
The TRB pointer of these events points at enqueue at the time of error
occurrence on xHCI 1.1+ HCs or it's NULL on older ones. By the time we
are handling the event, a new TD may be queued at this ring position.
I can trigger this race by rising interrupt moderation to increase IRQ
handling delay. Similar delay may occur naturally due to system load.
If this ever happens after a Missed Service Error, missed TDs will be
skipped and the new TD processed as if it matched the event. It could
be given back prematurely, risking data loss or buffer UAF by the xHC.
Don't complete TDs on xrun events and don't warn if queued TDs don't
match the event's TRB pointer, which can be NULL or a link/no-op TRB.
Don't warn if there are no queued TDs at all.
Now that it's safe, also handle xrun events if the skip flag is clear.
This ensures completion of any TD stuck in 'error mid TD' state right
before the xrun event, which could happen if a driver submits a finite
number of URBs to a buggy HC and then an error occurs on the last TD.

nfsd: decrease sc_count directly if fail to queue dl_recall
A deadlock warning occurred when invoking nfs4_put_stid following a failed
dl_recall queue operation:
T1 T2
nfs4_laundromat
nfs4_get_client_reaplist
nfs4_anylock_blockers
__break_lease
spin_lock // ctx->flc_lock
spin_lock // clp->cl_lock

spin_lock // flctx->flc_lock
nfsd_break_deleg_cb
nfsd_break_one_deleg
nfs4_put_stid
refcount_dec_and_lock
spin_lock // clp->cl_lock
When a file is opened, an nfs4_delegation is allocated with sc_count
initialized to 1, and the file_lease holds a reference to the delegation.
The file_lease is then associated with the file through kernel_setlease.
The disassociation is performed in nfsd4_delegreturn via the following
call chain:
nfsd4_delegreturn --> destroy_delegation --> destroy_unhashed_deleg -->
nfs4_unlock_deleg_lease --> kernel_setlease --> generic_delete_lease
The corresponding sc_count reference will be released after this
disassociation.
Since nfsd_break_one_deleg executes while holding the flc_lock, the
disassociation process becomes blocked when attempting to acquire flc_lock
in generic_delete_lease. This means:
1) sc_count in nfsd_break_one_deleg will not be decremented to 0;
2) The nfs4_put_stid called by nfsd_break_one_deleg will not attempt to
acquire cl_lock;
3) Consequently, no deadlock condition is created.
Given that sc_count in nfsd_break_one_deleg remains non-zero, we can
safely perform refcount_dec on sc_count directly. This approach
effectively avoids triggering deadlock warnings.

as they are in transaction error paths and situations where the block
group is readonly.
However, if there is any chance at all of racing with mark_bg_unused(),
or a different future user of bg_list, better to be safe than sorry.
Otherwise we risk the following interleaving (bg_list refcount in parens)
T1 (some random op) T2 (btrfs_mark_bg_unused)
!list_empty(&bg->bg_list); (1)
list_del_init(&bg->bg_list); (1)

tty: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for all usages of TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT
This requirement was overeagerly loosened in commit 2f83e38a095f
("tty: Permit some TIOCL_SETSEL modes without CAP_SYS_ADMIN"), but as
it turns out,
(1) the logic I implemented there was inconsistent (apologies!),
(2) TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT might actually be a small security risk
after all, and
(3) TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT is only meant to be used by the mouse
daemon (GPM or Consolation), which runs as CAP_SYS_ADMIN
already.
In more detail:
1. The previous patch has inconsistent logic:
In commit 2f83e38a095f ("tty: Permit some TIOCL_SETSEL modes
without CAP_SYS_ADMIN"), we checked for sel_mode ==
TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT, but overlooked that the lower four bits of
this "mode" parameter were actually used as an additional way to
pass an argument. So the patch did actually still require
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, if any of the mouse button bits are set, but did not
require it if none of the mouse buttons bits are set.
This logic is inconsistent and was not intentional. We should have
the same policies for using TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT independent of the
value of the "hidden" mouse button argument.
I sent a separate documentation patch to the man page list with
more details on TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250223091342.35523-2-gnoack3000@gmail.com/
2. TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT is indeed a potential security risk which can
let an attacker simulate "keyboard" input to command line
applications on the same terminal, like TIOCSTI and some other
TIOCLINUX "selection mode" IOCTLs.
By enabling mouse reporting on a terminal and then injecting mouse
reports through TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT, an attacker can simulate
mouse movements on the same terminal, similar to the TIOCSTI
keystroke injection attacks that were previously possible with
TIOCSTI and other TIOCL_SETSEL selection modes.
Many programs (including libreadline/bash) are then prone to
misinterpret these mouse reports as normal keyboard input because
they do not expect input in the X11 mouse protocol form. The
attacker does not have complete control over the escape sequence,
but they can at least control the values of two consecutive bytes
in the binary mouse reporting escape sequence.
I went into more detail on that in the discussion at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250221.0a947528d8f3@gnoack.org/
It is not equally trivial to simulate arbitrary keystrokes as it
was with TIOCSTI (commit 83efeeeb3d04 ("tty: Allow TIOCSTI to be
disabled")), but the general mechanism is there, and together with
the small number of existing legit use cases (see below), it would
be better to revert back to requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN for
TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT, as it was already the case before
commit 2f83e38a095f ("tty: Permit some TIOCL_SETSEL modes without

3. TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT is only used by the mouse daemons (GPM or
Consolation), and they are the only legit use case:
To quote console_codes(4):
The mouse tracking facility is intended to return
xterm(1)-compatible mouse status reports. Because the console
driver has no way to know the device or type of the mouse, these
reports are returned in the console input stream only when the
virtual terminal driver receives a mouse update ioctl. These
ioctls must be generated by a mouse-aware user-mode application
such as the gpm(8) daemon.
Jared Finder has also confirmed in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/491f3df9de6593df8e70dbe77614b026@finder.org/
that Emacs does not call TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT directly, and it
would be difficult to find good reasons for doing that, given that
it would interfere with the reports that GPM is sending.

usb: xhci: Fix invalid pointer dereference in Etron workaround
This check is performed before prepare_transfer() and prepare_ring(), so
enqueue can already point at the final link TRB of a segment. And indeed
it will, some 0.4% of times this code is called.
Then enqueue + 1 is an invalid pointer. It will crash the kernel right
away or load some junk which may look like a link TRB and cause the real
link TRB to be replaced with a NOOP. This wouldn't end well.
Use a functionally equivalent test which doesn't dereference the pointer
and always gives correct result.
Something has crashed my machine twice in recent days while playing with
an Etron HC, and a control transfer stress test ran for confirmation has
just crashed it again. The same test passes with this patch applied.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vmxnet3: Fix malformed packet sizing in vmxnet3_process_xdp
vmxnet3 driver's XDP handling is buggy for packet sizes using ring0 (that
is, packet sizes between 128 - 3k bytes).
We noticed MTU-related connectivity issues with Cilium's service load-
balancing in case of vmxnet3 as NIC underneath. A simple curl to a HTTP
backend service where the XDP LB was doing IPIP encap led to overly large
packet sizes but only for *some* of the packets (e.g. HTTP GET request)
while others (e.g. the prior TCP 3WHS) looked completely fine on the wire.
In fact, the pcap recording on the backend node actually revealed that the
node with the XDP LB was leaking uninitialized kernel data onto the wire
for the affected packets, for example, while the packets should have been
152 bytes their actual size was 1482 bytes, so the remainder after 152 bytes
was padded with whatever other data was in that page at the time (e.g. we
saw user/payload data from prior processed packets).
We only noticed this through an MTU issue, e.g. when the XDP LB node and
the backend node both had the same MTU (e.g. 1500) then the curl request
got dropped on the backend node's NIC given the packet was too large even
though the IPIP-encapped packet normally would never even come close to
the MTU limit. Lowering the MTU on the XDP LB (e.g. 1480) allowed to let
the curl request succeed (which also indicates that the kernel ignored the
padding, and thus the issue wasn't very user-visible).
Commit e127ce7699c1 ("vmxnet3: Fix missing reserved tailroom") was too eager
to also switch xdp_prepare_buff() from rcd->len to rbi->len. It really needs
to stick to rcd->len which is the actual packet length from the descriptor.
The latter we also feed into vmxnet3_process_xdp_small(), by the way, and
it indicates the correct length needed to initialize the xdp->{data,data_end}
parts. For e127ce7699c1 ("vmxnet3: Fix missing reserved tailroom") the
relevant part was adapting xdp_init_buff() to address the warning given the
xdp_data_hard_end() depends on xdp->frame_sz. With that fixed, traffic on
the wire looks good again.

net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class handling
This patch fixes a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the HFSC qdisc class
handling. The issue occurs due to a time-of-check/time-of-use condition
in hfsc_change_class() when working with certain child qdiscs like netem
or codel.
The vulnerability works as follows:
1. hfsc_change_class() checks if a class has packets (q.qlen != 0)
2. It then calls qdisc_peek_len(), which for certain qdiscs (e.g.,
codel, netem) might drop packets and empty the queue
3. The code continues assuming the queue is still non-empty, adding
the class to vttree
4. This breaks HFSC scheduler assumptions that only non-empty classes
are in vttree
5. Later, when the class is destroyed, this can lead to a Use-After-Free
The fix adds a second queue length check after qdisc_peek_len() to verify
the queue wasn't emptied.
