In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (powerz) Fix missing usb_kill_urb() on signal interrupt
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() returns -ERESTARTSYS when
interrupted. This needs to abort the URB and return an error. No data
has been received from the device so any reads from the transfer
buffer are invalid.
The original code tests !ret, which only catches the timeout case (0).
On signal delivery (-ERESTARTSYS), !ret is false so the function skips
usb_kill_urb() and falls through to read from the unfilled transfer
buffer.
Fix by capturing the return value into a long (matching the function
return type) and handling signal (negative) and timeout (zero) cases
with separate checks that both call usb_kill_urb() before returning.

run_unpack() checks `run_buf < run_last` at the top of the while loop
but then reads size_size and offset_size bytes via run_unpack_s64()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/shstk: Prevent deadlock during shstk sigreturn
During sigreturn the shadow stack signal frame is popped. The kernel does
this by reading the shadow stack using normal read accesses. When it can't
assume the memory is shadow stack, it takes extra steps to makes sure it is
reading actual shadow stack memory and not other normal readable memory. It
does this by holding the mmap read lock while doing the access and checking
the flags of the VMA.
Unfortunately that is not safe. If the read of the shadow stack sigframe
hits a page fault, the fault handler will try to recursively grab another
mmap read lock. This normally works ok, but if a writer on another CPU is
also waiting, the second read lock could fail and cause a deadlock.
Fix this by not holding mmap lock during the read access to userspace.
Instead use mmap_lock_speculate_...() to watch for changes between dropping
mmap lock and the userspace access. Retry if anything grabbed an mmap write
lock in between and could have changed the VMA.
These mmap_lock_speculate_...() helpers use mm::mm_lock_seq, which is only
available when PER_VMA_LOCK is configured. So make X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK
depend on it. On x86, PER_VMA_LOCK is a default configuration for SMP
kernels. So drop support for the other configs under the assumption that
the !SMP shadow stack user base does not exist.
Currently there is a check that skips the lookup work when the SSP can be
assumed to be on a shadow stack. While reorganizing the function, remove
the optimization to make the tricky code flows more common, such that
issues like this cannot escape detection for so long.

jbd2: fix deadlock in jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke()
Commit f76d4c28a46a ("fs/jbd2: use sleeping version of
__find_get_block()") changed jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke() to use
__find_get_block_nonatomic() which holds the folio lock instead of
i_private_lock. This breaks the lock ordering (folio -> buffer) and
causes an ABBA deadlock when the filesystem blocksize < pagesize:
T1 T2
ext4_mkdir()
ext4_init_new_dir()
ext4_append()
ext4_getblk()
lock_buffer() <- A

__find_get_block_nonatomic()
folio_lock() <- B
block_write_full_folio()
lock_buffer() <- A
This can occasionally cause generic/013 to hang.
Fix by only calling __find_get_block_nonatomic() when the passed
buffer_head doesn't belong to the bdev, which is the only case that we
need to look up its bdev alias. Otherwise, the lookup is redundant since
the found buffer_head is equal to the one we passed in.

crypto: qat - fix IRQ cleanup on 6xxx probe failure
When adf_dev_up() partially completes and then fails, the IRQ
handlers registered during adf_isr_resource_alloc() are not detached
before the MSI-X vectors are released.
Since the device is enabled with pcim_enable_device(), calling
pci_alloc_irq_vectors() internally registers pcim_msi_release() as a
devres action. On probe failure, devres runs pcim_msi_release() which
calls pci_free_irq_vectors(), tearing down the MSI-X vectors while IRQ
handlers (for example 'qat0-bundle0') are still attached. This causes
remove_proc_entry() warnings:
[ 22.163964] remove_proc_entry: removing non-empty directory 'irq/143', leaking at least 'qat0-bundle0'
Moving the devm_add_action_or_reset() before adf_dev_up() does not solve
the problem since devres runs in LIFO order and pcim_msi_release(),
registered later inside adf_dev_up(), would still fire before
adf_device_down().
Fix by calling adf_dev_down() explicitly when adf_dev_up() fails, to
properly free IRQ handlers before devres releases the MSI-X vectors.

landlock: Fix LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF inheritance across fork()
hook_cred_transfer() only copies the Landlock security blob when the
source credential has a domain. This is inconsistent with
landlock_restrict_self() which can set LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF on a
credential without creating a domain (via the ruleset_fd=-1 path): the
field is committed but not preserved across fork() because the child's
prepare_creds() calls hook_cred_transfer() which skips the copy when
domain is NULL.
This breaks the documented use case where a process mutes subdomain logs
before forking sandboxed children: the children lose the muting and
their domains produce unexpected audit records.
Fix this by unconditionally copying the Landlock credential blob.

spdif_passthru_playback_get_resources() uses atc->pll_rate as the RSR

indefinitely.
Add fallback to use atc->rsr when atc->pll_rate is 0. This reflects

ALSA: caiaq: fix usb_dev refcount leak on probe failure
create_card() takes a reference on the USB device with usb_get_dev()
and stores the matching usb_put_dev() in card_free(), which is
installed as the snd_card's ->private_free destructor.
However, ->private_free is only assigned near the end of init_card(),
after several failure points (usb_set_interface(), EP type checks,
usb_submit_urb(), the EP1_CMD_GET_DEVICE_INFO exchange, and its
timeout). When any of those fail, init_card() returns an error to
snd_probe(), which calls snd_card_free(card). Because ->private_free
is still NULL, card_free() never runs, the usb_get_dev() reference
is not dropped, and the struct usb_device leaks along with its
descriptor allocations and device_private.
syzbot reproduces this with a malformed UAC3 device whose only valid
altsetting is 0; init_card()'s usb_set_interface(usb_dev, 0, 1) call
fails with -EIO and triggers the leak.
Move the ->private_free assignment into create_card(), immediately
after usb_get_dev(), so that every error path reaching snd_card_free()
balances the reference. card_free()'s callees (snd_usb_caiaq_input_free,
free_urbs, kfree) already tolerate the partially-initialized state
because the chip private area is zero-initialized by snd_card_new().

When reading bitmap pages from member disks, the code iterates through

it only checks for raid_disk assignment and Faulty flag, missing the
In_sync flag check.
This can cause bitmap data to be read from spare disks that are still

mm/mempolicy: fix memory leaks in weighted_interleave_auto_store()
weighted_interleave_auto_store() fetches old_wi_state inside the if
(!input) block only. This causes two memory leaks:
1. When a user writes "false" and the current mode is already manual,
the function returns early without freeing the freshly allocated
new_wi_state.
2. When a user writes "true", old_wi_state stays NULL because the
fetch is skipped entirely. The old state is then overwritten by
rcu_assign_pointer() but never freed, since the cleanup path is
gated on old_wi_state being non-NULL. A user can trigger this
repeatedly by writing "1" in a loop.
Fix both leaks by moving the old_wi_state fetch before the input check,
making it unconditional. This also allows a unified early return for both
"true" and "false" when the requested mode matches the current mode.

greybus: gb-beagleplay: fix sleep in atomic context in hdlc_tx_frames()
hdlc_append() calls usleep_range() to wait for circular buffer space,
but it is called with tx_producer_lock (a spinlock) held via
hdlc_tx_frames() -> hdlc_append_tx_frame()/hdlc_append_tx_u8()/etc.
Sleeping while holding a spinlock is illegal and can trigger
"BUG: scheduling while atomic".
Fix this by moving the buffer-space wait out of hdlc_append() and into
hdlc_tx_frames(), before the spinlock is acquired. The new flow:
1. Pre-calculate the worst-case encoded frame length.
2. Wait (with sleep) outside the lock until enough space is available,
kicking the TX consumer work to drain the buffer.
3. Acquire the spinlock, re-verify space, and write the entire frame
atomically.
This ensures that sleeping only happens without any lock held, and
that frames are either fully enqueued or not written at all.
This bug is found by CodeQL static analysis tool (interprocedural
sleep-in-atomic query) and my code review.

mm/damon/core: fix damon_call() vs kdamond_fn() exit race
Patch series "mm/damon/core: fix damon_call()/damos_walk() vs kdmond exit
race".
damon_call() and damos_walk() can leak memory and/or deadlock when they
race with kdamond terminations. Fix those.
This patch (of 2);
When kdamond_fn() main loop is finished, the function cancels all
remaining damon_call() requests and unset the damon_ctx->kdamond so that
API callers and API functions themselves can know the context is
terminated. damon_call() adds the caller's request to the queue first.
After that, it shows if the kdamond of the damon_ctx is still running
(damon_ctx->kdamond is set). Only if the kdamond is running, damon_call()
starts waiting for the kdamond's handling of the newly added request.
The damon_call() requests registration and damon_ctx->kdamond unset are
protected by different mutexes, though. Hence, damon_call() could race
with damon_ctx->kdamond unset, and result in deadlocks.
For example, let's suppose kdamond successfully finished the damon_call()
requests cancelling. Right after that, damon_call() is called for the
context. It registers the new request, and shows the context is still
running, because damon_ctx->kdamond unset is not yet done. Hence the
damon_call() caller starts waiting for the handling of the request.
However, the kdamond is already on the termination steps, so it never
handles the new request. As a result, the damon_call() caller threads
infinitely waits.
Fix this by introducing another damon_ctx field, namely
call_controls_obsolete. It is protected by the
damon_ctx->call_controls_lock, which protects damon_call() requests
registration. Initialize (unset) it in kdamond_fn() before letting
damon_start() returns and set it just before the cancelling of remaining
damon_call() requests is executed. damon_call() reads the obsolete field
under the lock and avoids adding a new request.
After this change, only requests that are guaranteed to be handled or
cancelled are registered. Hence the after-registration DAMON context
termination check is no longer needed. Remove it together.
Note that the deadlock will not happen when damon_call() is called for
repeat mode request. In tis case, damon_call() returns instead of waiting
for the handling when the request registration succeeds and it shows the
kdamond is running. However, if the request also has dealloc_on_cancel,
the request memory would be leaked.
The issue is found by sashiko [1].

ALSA: caiaq: Handle probe errors properly
The probe procedure of setup_card() in caiaq driver doesn't treat the
error cases gracefully, e.g. the error from snd_card_register() calls
snd_card_free() but continues. This would lead to a UAF for the
further calls like snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(), as Berk suggested in
another patch in the link below.
However, the problem is not only that; in general, this function drops
the all error handlings (as it's a void function) although its caller
can propagate an error to snd_probe(), which eventually calls
snd_card_free() as a proper error path. That said, we should treat
each error case in setup_card(), and just return the error code
promptly, which is then handled later as a fatal error in snd_probe().
This patch achieves it by changing the setup_card() to return an error
code. Also, the superfluous snd_card_free() call is removed, too.
Note that card->private_free can be set still safely at returning an
error. All called functions in card_free() have checks of the
unassigned resources or NULL checks.

filesystem corruption - a legitimate inode deletion always sets either
i_dtime or clears i_mode before freeing the inode.
A crafted image can exploit this gap to present such an inode to the
VFS, which then triggers WARN_ON inside drop_nlink() (fs/inode.c) via
ext2_unlink(), ext2_rename() and ext2_rmdir():

hwmon: (pt5161l) Fix bugs in pt5161l_read_block_data()
Fix two bugs in pt5161l_read_block_data():
1. Buffer overrun: The local buffer rbuf is declared as u8 rbuf[24],
but i2c_smbus_read_block_data() can return up to
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32) bytes. The i2c-core copies the data into
the caller's buffer before the return value can be checked, so
the post-read length validation does not prevent a stack overrun
if a device returns more than 24 bytes. Resize the buffer to
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX.
2. Unexpected positive return on length mismatch: When all three
retries are exhausted because the device returns data with an
unexpected length, i2c_smbus_read_block_data() returns a positive
byte count. The function returns this directly, and callers treat
any non-negative return as success, processing stale or incomplete
buffer contents. Return -EIO when retries are exhausted with a
positive return value, preserving the negative error code on I2C
failure.

ibmasm: fix OOB reads in command_file_write due to missing size checks
The command_file_write() handler allocates a kernel buffer of exactly
count bytes and copies user data into it, but does not validate the
buffer against the dot command protocol before passing it to
get_dot_command_size() and get_dot_command_timeout().
Since both the allocation size (count) and the header fields (command_size,
data_size) are independently user-controlled, an attacker can cause
get_dot_command_size() to return a value exceeding the allocation,
triggering OOB reads in get_dot_command_timeout() and an out-of-bounds
memcpy_toio() that leaks kernel heap memory to the service processor.
Fix with two guards: reject writes smaller than sizeof(struct
dot_command_header) before allocation, then after copying user data
reject commands where the buffer is smaller than the total size declared
by the header (sizeof(header) + command_size + data_size). This ensures
all subsequent header and payload field accesses stay within the buffer.

slub: fix data loss and overflow in krealloc()
Commit 2cd8231796b5 ("mm/slub: allow to set node and align in
k[v]realloc") introduced the ability to force a reallocation if the
original object does not satisfy new alignment or NUMA node, even when
the object is being shrunk.
This introduced two bugs in the reallocation fallback path:
1. Data loss during NUMA migration: The jump to 'alloc_new' happens
before 'ks' and 'orig_size' are initialized. As a result, the
memcpy() in the 'alloc_new' block would copy 0 bytes into the new
allocation.
2. Buffer overflow during shrinking: When shrinking an object while
forcing a new alignment, 'new_size' is smaller than the old size.
However, the memcpy() used the old size ('orig_size ?: ks'), leading
to an out-of-bounds write.
The same overflow bug exists in the kvrealloc() fallback path, where the
old bucket size ksize(p) is copied into the new buffer without being
bounded by the new size.
A simple reproducer:
// e.g. add to lkdtm as KREALLOC_SHRINK_OVERFLOW
while (1) {
void *p = kmalloc(128, GFP_KERNEL);
p = krealloc_node_align(p, 64, 256, GFP_KERNEL, NUMA_NO_NODE);
kfree(p);
}

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: unittest: fix use-after-free in testdrv_probe()
The function testdrv_probe() retrieves the device_node from the PCI
device, applies an overlay, and then immediately calls of_node_put(dn).
This releases the reference held by the PCI core, potentially freeing
the node if the reference count drops to zero. Later, the same freed
pointer 'dn' is passed to of_platform_default_populate(), leading to a
use-after-free.
The reference to pdev->dev.of_node is owned by the device model and
should not be released by the driver. Remove the erroneous of_node_put()
to prevent premature freeing.

KVM: nSVM: Sync interrupt shadow to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN of L2
After VMRUN in guest mode, nested_sync_control_from_vmcb02() syncs
fields written by the CPU from vmcb02 to the cached vmcb12. This is
because the cached vmcb12 is used as the authoritative copy of some of
the controls, and is the payload when saving/restoring nested state.
int_state is also written by the CPU, specifically bit 0 (i.e.
SVM_INTERRUPT_SHADOW_MASK) for nested VMs, but it is not sync'd to
cached vmcb12. This does not cause a problem if KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
preceeds KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS in the restore path, as an interrupt shadow
would be correctly restored to vmcb02 (KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS overwrites
what KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE restored in int_state).
However, if KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS preceeds KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE, an
interrupt shadow would be restored into vmcb01 instead of vmcb02. This
would mostly be benign for L1 (delays an interrupt), but not for L2. For
L2, the vCPU could hang (e.g. if a wakeup interrupt is delivered before
a HLT that should have been in an interrupt shadow).
Sync int_state to the cached vmcb12 in nested_sync_control_from_vmcb02()
to avoid this problem. With that, KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE restores the
correct interrupt shadow state, and if KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS follows it
would overwrite it with the same value.

net/sched: taprio: fix NULL pointer dereference in class dump
When a TAPRIO child qdisc is deleted via RTM_DELQDISC, taprio_graft()
is called with new == NULL and stores NULL into q->qdiscs[cl - 1].
Subsequent RTM_GETTCLASS dump operations walk all classes via
taprio_walk() and call taprio_dump_class(), which calls taprio_leaf()
returning the NULL pointer, then dereferences it to read child->handle,
causing a kernel NULL pointer dereference.
The bug is reachable with namespace-scoped CAP_NET_ADMIN on any kernel
with CONFIG_NET_SCH_TAPRIO enabled. On systems with unprivileged user
namespaces enabled, an unprivileged local user can trigger a kernel
panic by creating a taprio qdisc inside a new network namespace,
grafting an explicit child qdisc, deleting it, and requesting a class
dump. The RTM_GETTCLASS dump itself requires no capability.

Fix this by substituting &noop_qdisc when new is NULL in
taprio_graft(), a common pattern used by other qdiscs (e.g.,
multiq_graft()) to ensure the q->qdiscs[] slots are never NULL.
This makes control-plane dump paths safe without requiring individual
NULL checks.
Since the data-plane paths (taprio_enqueue and taprio_dequeue_from_txq)
previously had explicit NULL guards that would drop/skip the packet
cleanly, update those checks to test for &noop_qdisc instead. Without
this, packets would reach taprio_enqueue_one() which increments the root
qdisc's qlen and backlog before calling the child's enqueue; noop_qdisc
drops the packet but those counters are never rolled back, permanently
inflating the root qdisc's statistics.
After this change *old can be a valid qdisc, NULL, or &noop_qdisc.
Only call qdisc_put(*old) in the first case to avoid decreasing
noop_qdisc's refcount, which was never increased.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix use-after-free in arena_vm_close on fork
arena_vm_open() only bumps vml->mmap_count but never registers the
child VMA in arena->vma_list. The vml->vma always points at the
parent VMA, so after parent munmap the pointer dangles. If the child
then calls bpf_arena_free_pages(), zap_pages() reads the stale
vml->vma triggering use-after-free.
Fix this by preventing the arena VMA from being inherited across
fork with VM_DONTCOPY, and preventing VMA splits via the may_split
callback.
Also reject mremap with a .mremap callback returning -EINVAL. A
same-size mremap(MREMAP_FIXED) on the full arena VMA reaches
copy_vma() through the following path:
check_prep_vma() - returns 0 early: new_len == old_len
skips VM_DONTEXPAND check
prep_move_vma() - vm_start == old_addr and
vm_end == old_addr + old_len
so may_split is never called
move_vma()
copy_vma_and_data()
copy_vma()
vm_area_dup() - copies vm_private_data (vml pointer)
vm_ops->open() - bumps vml->mmap_count
vm_ops->mremap() - returns -EINVAL, rollback unmaps new VMA
The refcount ensures the rollback's arena_vm_close does not free
the vml shared with the original VMA.

mshv_vtl: Fix vmemmap_shift exceeding MAX_FOLIO_ORDER
When registering VTL0 memory via MSHV_ADD_VTL0_MEMORY, the kernel
computes pgmap->vmemmap_shift as the number of trailing zeros in the
OR of start_pfn and last_pfn, intending to use the largest compound
page order both endpoints are aligned to.
However, this value is not clamped to MAX_FOLIO_ORDER, so a
sufficiently aligned range (e.g. physical range
[0x800000000000, 0x800080000000), corresponding to start_pfn=0x800000000
with 35 trailing zeros) can produce a shift larger than what
memremap_pages() accepts, triggering a WARN and returning -EINVAL:
WARNING: ... memremap_pages+0x512/0x650
requested folio size unsupported
The MAX_FOLIO_ORDER check was added by
commit 646b67d57589 ("mm/memremap: reject unreasonable folio/compound
page sizes in memremap_pages()").
Fix this by clamping vmemmap_shift to MAX_FOLIO_ORDER so we always
request the largest order the kernel supports, in those cases, rather
than an out-of-range value.
Also fix the error path to propagate the actual error code from
devm_memremap_pages() instead of hard-coding -EFAULT, which was
masking the real -EINVAL return.

f2fs: fix UAF caused by decrementing sbi->nr_pages[] in f2fs_write_end_io()
The xfstests case "generic/107" and syzbot have both reported a NULL
pointer dereference.
The concurrent scenario that triggers the panic is as follows:
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA write callback umount
- f2fs_write_checkpoint
- f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(sbi, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA)
- blk_mq_end_request

- f2fs_put_super
: iput(sbi->node_inode)
: sbi->node_inode = NULL
: f2fs_in_warm_node_list
- is_node_folio // sbi->node_inode is NULL and panic
The root cause is that f2fs_put_super() calls iput(sbi->node_inode) and
sets sbi->node_inode to NULL after sbi->nr_pages[F2FS_WB_CP_DATA] is
decremented to zero. As a result, f2fs_in_warm_node_list() may
dereference a NULL node_inode when checking whether a folio belongs to
the node inode, leading to a panic.
This patch fixes the issue by calling f2fs_in_warm_node_list() before
decrementing sbi->nr_pages[F2FS_WB_CP_DATA], thus preventing the
use-after-free condition.

The root cause is in commit 40b2d55e0452 ("f2fs: fix to create selinux

fix it.
