In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: tegra210-quad: Fix timeout handling
When the CPU that the QSPI interrupt handler runs on (typically CPU 0)
is excessively busy, it can lead to rare cases of the IRQ thread not
running before the transfer timeout is reached.
While handling the timeouts, any pending transfers are cleaned up and
the message that they correspond to is marked as failed, which leaves
the curr_xfer field pointing at stale memory.
To avoid this, clear curr_xfer to NULL upon timeout and check for this
condition when the IRQ thread is finally run.
While at it, also make sure to clear interrupts on failure so that new
interrupts can be run.
A better, more involved, fix would move the interrupt clearing into a
hard IRQ handler. Ideally we would also want to signal that the IRQ
thread no longer needs to be run after the timeout is hit to avoid the
extra check for a valid transfer.

scsi: qla2xxx: Clear cmds after chip reset
Commit aefed3e5548f ("scsi: qla2xxx: target: Fix offline port handling
and host reset handling") caused two problems:
1. Commands sent to FW, after chip reset got stuck and never freed as FW
is not going to respond to them anymore.
2. BUG_ON(cmd->sg_mapped) in qlt_free_cmd(). Commit 26f9ce53817a
("scsi: qla2xxx: Fix missed DMA unmap for aborted commands")
attempted to fix this, but introduced another bug under different
circumstances when two different CPUs were racing to call
qlt_unmap_sg() at the same time: BUG_ON(!valid_dma_direction(dir)) in
dma_unmap_sg_attrs().
So revert "scsi: qla2xxx: Fix missed DMA unmap for aborted commands" and
partially revert "scsi: qla2xxx: target: Fix offline port handling and
host reset handling" at __qla2x00_abort_all_cmds.

scsi: qla2xxx: Fix improper freeing of purex item
In qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb(), an item is allocated via
qla27xx_copy_multiple_pkt(), which internally calls
qla24xx_alloc_purex_item().
The qla24xx_alloc_purex_item() function may return a pre-allocated item
from a per-adapter pool for small allocations, instead of dynamically
allocating memory with kzalloc().
An error handling path in qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() incorrectly uses
kfree() to release the item. If the item was from the pre-allocated
pool, calling kfree() on it is a bug that can lead to memory corruption.
Fix this by using the correct deallocation function,
qla24xx_free_purex_item(), which properly handles both dynamically
allocated and pre-allocated items.

landlock: Fix handling of disconnected directories
Disconnected files or directories can appear when they are visible and
opened from a bind mount, but have been renamed or moved from the source
of the bind mount in a way that makes them inaccessible from the mount
point (i.e. out of scope).
Previously, access rights tied to files or directories opened through a
disconnected directory were collected by walking the related hierarchy
down to the root of the filesystem, without taking into account the
mount point because it couldn't be found. This could lead to
inconsistent access results, potential access right widening, and
hard-to-debug renames, especially since such paths cannot be printed.
For a sandboxed task to create a disconnected directory, it needs to
have write access (i.e. FS_MAKE_REG, FS_REMOVE_FILE, and FS_REFER) to
the underlying source of the bind mount, and read access to the related
mount point. Because a sandboxed task cannot acquire more access
rights than those defined by its Landlock domain, this could lead to
inconsistent access rights due to missing permissions that should be
inherited from the mount point hierarchy, while inheriting permissions
from the filesystem hierarchy hidden by this mount point instead.
Landlock now handles files and directories opened from disconnected
directories by taking into account the filesystem hierarchy when the
mount point is not found in the hierarchy walk, and also always taking
into account the mount point from which these disconnected directories
were opened. This ensures that a rename is not allowed if it would
widen access rights [1].
The rationale is that, even if disconnected hierarchies might not be
visible or accessible to a sandboxed task, relying on the collected
access rights from them improves the guarantee that access rights will
not be widened during a rename because of the access right comparison
between the source and the destination (see LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER).
It may look like this would grant more access on disconnected files and
directories, but the security policies are always enforced for all the
evaluated hierarchies. This new behavior should be less surprising to
users and safer from an access control perspective.
Remove a wrong WARN_ON_ONCE() canary in collect_domain_accesses() and
fix the related comment.
Because opened files have their access rights stored in the related file
security properties, there is no impact for disconnected or unlinked
files.

drm/panthor: Prevent potential UAF in group creation
This commit prevents the possibility of a use after free issue in the

A malicious userspace can second guess the handle of a group and try
to call GROUP_DESTROY ioctl from another thread around the same time

To prevent the use after free exploit, this commit uses a mark on an
entry of group pool Xarray which is added just before returning from
the GROUP_CREATE ioctl function. The mark is checked for all ioctls
that specify the group handle and so userspace won't be abe to delete

for ahash and acomp from the commit description as subsequent commits
add necessary changes in these alg frameworks.
However, this is being recommended for use in all crypto algs
instead of setting reqsize using crypto_*_set_reqsize(). Using
cra_reqsize in aead algorithms, hence, causes memory corruptions and
crashes as the underlying functions in the algorithm framework have not
been updated to set the reqsize properly from cra_reqsize. [1]
Add proper set_reqsize calls in the aead init function to properly

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix double free of qgroup record after failure to add delayed ref head
In the previous code it was possible to incur into a double kfree()
scenario when calling add_delayed_ref_head(). This could happen if the
record was reported to already exist in the
btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_nolock() call, but then there was an error
later on add_delayed_ref_head(). In this case, since
add_delayed_ref_head() returned an error, the caller went to free the
record. Since add_delayed_ref_head() couldn't set this kfree'd pointer
to NULL, then kfree() would have acted on a non-NULL 'record' object
which was pointing to memory already freed by the callee.
The problem comes from the fact that the responsibility to kfree the
object is on both the caller and the callee at the same time. Hence, the
fix for this is to shift the ownership of the 'qrecord' object out of
the add_delayed_ref_head(). That is, we will never attempt to kfree()
the given object inside of this function, and will expect the caller to
act on the 'qrecord' object on its own. The only exception where the
'qrecord' object cannot be kfree'd is if it was inserted into the
tracing logic, for which we already have the 'qrecord_inserted_ret'
boolean to account for this. Hence, the caller has to kfree the object
only if add_delayed_ref_head() reports not to have inserted it on the
tracing logic.
As a side-effect of the above, we must guarantee that
'qrecord_inserted_ret' is properly initialized at the start of the
function, not at the end, and then set when an actual insert
happens. This way we avoid 'qrecord_inserted_ret' having an invalid
value on an early exit.
The documentation from the add_delayed_ref_head() has also been updated
to reflect on the exact ownership of the 'qrecord' object.

Discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine.
The 'len' variable is calculated as 'min(32, trans->len + 1)',
which includes the 1-byte command header.
When copying data from 'trans->tx_buf' to 'ch341->tx_buf + 1', using 'len'
as the length is incorrect because:
1. It causes an out-of-bounds read from 'trans->tx_buf' (which has size
'trans->len', i.e., 'len - 1' in this context).
2. It can cause an out-of-bounds write to 'ch341->tx_buf' if 'len' is
CH341_PACKET_LENGTH (32). Writing 32 bytes to ch341->tx_buf + 1
overflows the buffer.

veth: reduce XDP no_direct return section to fix race
As explain in commit fa349e396e48 ("veth: Fix race with AF_XDP exposing
old or uninitialized descriptors") for veth there is a chance after
napi_complete_done() that another CPU can manage start another NAPI
instance running veth_pool(). For NAPI this is correctly handled as the
napi_schedule_prep() check will prevent multiple instances from getting
scheduled, but for the remaining code in veth_pool() this can run
concurrent with the newly started NAPI instance.
The problem/race is that xdp_clear_return_frame_no_direct() isn't
designed to be nested.
Prior to commit 401cb7dae813 ("net: Reference bpf_redirect_info via
task_struct on PREEMPT_RT.") the temporary BPF net context
bpf_redirect_info was stored per CPU, where this wasn't an issue. Since
this commit the BPF context is stored in 'current' task_struct. When
running veth in threaded-NAPI mode, then the kthread becomes the storage
area. Now a race exists between two concurrent veth_pool() function calls
one exiting NAPI and one running new NAPI, both using the same BPF net
context.
Race is when another CPU gets within the xdp_set_return_frame_no_direct()
section before exiting veth_pool() calls the clear-function
xdp_clear_return_frame_no_direct().

in the call to team_dev_type_check_change.
Later when we end up in ipgre_header() struct ip_tunnel* points to nonsense
as the private data of the device still holds a struct team.
Example sequence of iproute2 commands to reproduce the hang/BUG():
ip link add dev team0 type team
ip link add dev gre0 type gre
ip link set dev gre0 up
ip link set dev gre0 master team0
ip link set dev team0 up
ping -I team0 1.1.1.1
Move team_dev_type_check_change down where all other checks have passed
as it changes the dev type with no way to restore it in case
one of the checks that follow it fail.
Also make sure to preserve the origial mtu assignment:
- If port_dev is not the same type as dev, dev takes mtu from port_dev
- If port_dev is the same type as dev, port_dev takes mtu from dev
This is done by adding a conditional before the call to dev_set_mtu
to prevent it from assigning port_dev->mtu = dev->mtu and instead
letting team_dev_type_check_change assign dev->mtu = port_dev->mtu.
The conditional is needed because the patch moves the call to
team_dev_type_check_change past dev_set_mtu.
Testing:
- team device driver in-tree selftests
- Add/remove various devices as slaves of team device
- syzbot

The above issue occurs with us in errors=continue mode when accompanied by
storage failures. There have been many inconsistencies in the file system
data.
In the case of file system data inconsistency, for example, if the block
bitmap of a referenced block is not set, it can lead to the situation where
a block being committed is allocated and used again. As a result, the
following condition will not be satisfied then trigger BUG_ON. Of course,
it is entirely possible to construct a problematic image that can trigger
this BUG_ON through specific operations. In fact, I have constructed such
an image and easily reproduced this issue.
Therefore, J_ASSERT() holds true only under ideal conditions, but it may
not necessarily be satisfied in exceptional scenarios. Using J_ASSERT()
directly in abnormal situations would cause the system to crash, which is
clearly not what we want. So here we directly trigger a JBD abort instead
of immediately invoking BUG_ON.

Bluetooth: hci_core: lookup hci_conn on RX path on protocol side
The hdev lock/lookup/unlock/use pattern in the packet RX path doesn't
ensure hci_conn* is not concurrently modified/deleted. This locking
appears to be leftover from before conn_hash started using RCU
commit bf4c63252490b ("Bluetooth: convert conn hash to RCU")
and not clear if it had purpose since then.
Currently, there are code paths that delete hci_conn* from elsewhere
than the ordered hdev->workqueue where the RX work runs in. E.g.
commit 5af1f84ed13a ("Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF on hci_abort_conn_sync")
introduced some of these, and there probably were a few others before
it. It's better to do the locking so that even if these run
concurrently no UAF is possible.
Move the lookup of hci_conn and associated socket-specific conn to
protocol recv handlers, and do them within a single critical section
to cover hci_conn* usage and lookup.
syzkaller has reported a crash that appears to be this issue:

net: atlantic: fix fragment overflow handling in RX path
The atlantic driver can receive packets with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS (17)
fragments when handling large multi-descriptor packets. This causes an
out-of-bounds write in skb_add_rx_frag_netmem() leading to kernel panic.
The issue occurs because the driver doesn't check the total number of
fragments before calling skb_add_rx_frag(). When a packet requires more
than MAX_SKB_FRAGS fragments, the fragment index exceeds the array bounds.
Fix by assuming there will be an extra frag if buff->len > AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE,
then all fragments are accounted for. And reusing the existing check to
prevent the overflow earlier in the code path.
This crash occurred in production with an Aquantia AQC113 10G NIC.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: ipc: fix use-after-free in ipc_msg_send_request
ipc_msg_send_request() waits for a generic netlink reply using an
ipc_msg_table_entry on the stack. The generic netlink handler
(handle_generic_event()/handle_response()) fills entry->response under
ipc_msg_table_lock, but ipc_msg_send_request() used to validate and free
entry->response without holding the same lock.
Under high concurrency this allows a race where handle_response() is
copying data into entry->response while ipc_msg_send_request() has just
freed it, leading to a slab-use-after-free reported by KASAN in
handle_generic_event():
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in handle_generic_event+0x3c4/0x5f0 [ksmbd]

Freed by task:

ipc_msg_send_request [ksmbd]
ksmbd_rpc_open -> ksmbd_session_rpc_open [ksmbd]
Fix by:
- Taking ipc_msg_table_lock in ipc_msg_send_request() while validating
entry->response, freeing it when invalid, and removing the entry from
ipc_msg_table.
- Returning the final entry->response pointer to the caller only after
the hash entry is removed under the lock.
- Returning NULL in the error path, preserving the original API
semantics.
This makes all accesses to entry->response consistent with
handle_response(), which already updates and fills the response buffer
under ipc_msg_table_lock, and closes the race that allowed the UAF.

rust_binder: fix race condition on death_list
Rust Binder contains the following unsafe operation:
// SAFETY: A `NodeDeath` is never inserted into the death list
// of any node other than its owner, so it is either in this
// death list or in no death list.
unsafe { node_inner.death_list.remove(self) };
This operation is unsafe because when touching the prev/next pointers of
a list element, we have to ensure that no other thread is also touching
them in parallel. If the node is present in the list that `remove` is
called on, then that is fine because we have exclusive access to that
list. If the node is not in any list, then it's also ok. But if it's
present in a different list that may be accessed in parallel, then that
may be a data race on the prev/next pointers.
And unfortunately that is exactly what is happening here. In
Node::release, we:
1. Take the lock.
2. Move all items to a local list on the stack.
3. Drop the lock.
4. Iterate the local list on the stack.
Combined with threads using the unsafe remove method on the original
list, this leads to memory corruption of the prev/next pointers. This
leads to crashes like this one:

staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in rtw_get_ie() parser
The Information Element (IE) parser rtw_get_ie() trusted the length
byte of each IE without validating that the IE body (len bytes after
the 2-byte header) fits inside the remaining frame buffer. A malformed
frame can advertise an IE length larger than the available data, causing
the parser to increment its pointer beyond the buffer end. This results
in out-of-bounds reads or, depending on the pattern, an infinite loop.
Fix by validating that (offset + 2 + len) does not exceed the limit
before accepting the IE or advancing to the next element.
This prevents OOB reads and ensures the parser terminates safely on
malformed frames.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix stack buffer overflow in OnAssocReq IE parsing
The Supported Rates IE length from an incoming Association Request frame
was used directly as the memcpy() length when copying into a fixed-size

IE length larger than 16 bytes, causing a stack buffer overflow.
Clamp ie_len to the buffer size before copying the Supported Rates IE,
and correct the bounds check when merging Extended Supported Rates to
prevent a second potential overflow.
This prevents kernel stack corruption triggered by malformed association
requests.

The Extended Supported Rates (ESR) IE handling in OnBeacon accessed

out-of-bounds read, potentially triggering a kernel panic.
Add a boundary check to ensure that the ESR IE body and the subsequent
bytes are within the limits of the frame before attempting to access
them.

hung_task: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers
The blocker tracking mechanism assumes that lock pointers are at least
4-byte aligned to use their lower bits for type encoding.
However, as reported by Eero Tamminen, some architectures like m68k
only guarantee 2-byte alignment of 32-bit values. This breaks the
assumption and causes two related WARN_ON_ONCE checks to trigger.
To fix this, the runtime checks are adjusted to silently ignore any lock
that is not 4-byte aligned, effectively disabling the feature in such
cases and avoiding the related warnings.

ipv4: route: Prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnhe
The sit driver's packet transmission path calls: sit_tunnel_xmit() ->
update_or_create_fnhe(), which lead to fnhe_remove_oldest() being called
to delete entries exceeding FNHE_RECLAIM_DEPTH+random.
The race window is between fnhe_remove_oldest() selecting fnheX for
deletion and the subsequent kfree_rcu(). During this time, the
concurrent path's __mkroute_output() -> find_exception() can fetch the
soon-to-be-deleted fnheX, and rt_bind_exception() then binds it with a
new dst using a dst_hold(). When the original fnheX is freed via RCU,
the dst reference remains permanently leaked.

This issue manifests as a device reference count leak and a warning in

Ido Schimmel provided the simple test validation method [1].
The fix clears 'oldest->fnhe_daddr' before calling fnhe_flush_routes().
Since rt_bind_exception() checks this field, setting it to zero prevents
the stale fnhe from being reused and bound to a new dst just before it
is freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: more robust handing of race to avoid txq getting stuck
Commit dc82a33297fc ("veth: apply qdisc backpressure on full ptr_ring to
reduce TX drops") introduced a race condition that can lead to a permanently
stalled TXQ. This was observed in production on ARM64 systems (Ampere Altra
Max).
The race occurs in veth_xmit(). The producer observes a full ptr_ring and
stops the queue (netif_tx_stop_queue()). The subsequent conditional logic,
intended to re-wake the queue if the consumer had just emptied it (if
(__ptr_ring_empty(...)) netif_tx_wake_queue()), can fail. This leads to a
"lost wakeup" where the TXQ remains stopped (QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF) and
traffic halts.
This failure is caused by an incorrect use of the __ptr_ring_empty() API
from the producer side. As noted in kernel comments, this check is not
guaranteed to be correct if a consumer is operating on another CPU. The
empty test is based on ptr_ring->consumer_head, making it reliable only for
the consumer. Using this check from the producer side is fundamentally racy.
This patch fixes the race by adopting the more robust logic from an earlier
version V4 of the patchset, which always flushed the peer:
(1) In veth_xmit(), the racy conditional wake-up logic and its memory barrier
are removed. Instead, after stopping the queue, we unconditionally call
__veth_xdp_flush(rq). This guarantees that the NAPI consumer is scheduled,
making it solely responsible for re-waking the TXQ.
This handles the race where veth_poll() consumes all packets and completes
NAPI *before* veth_xmit() on the producer side has called netif_tx_stop_queue.
The __veth_xdp_flush(rq) will observe rx_notify_masked is false and schedule
NAPI.
(2) On the consumer side, the logic for waking the peer TXQ is moved out of
veth_xdp_rcv() and placed at the end of the veth_poll() function. This
placement is part of fixing the race, as the netif_tx_queue_stopped() check
must occur after rx_notify_masked is potentially set to false during NAPI
completion.
This handles the race where veth_poll() consumes all packets, but haven't
finished (rx_notify_masked is still true). The producer veth_xmit() stops the
TXQ and __veth_xdp_flush(rq) will observe rx_notify_masked is true, meaning
not starting NAPI. Then veth_poll() change rx_notify_masked to false and
stops NAPI. Before exiting veth_poll() will observe TXQ is stopped and wake
it up.
