In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: handle overlapping allocated ranges in fallocate
smb3_simple_fallocate_range() can skip holes when an allocated range
returned by the server starts before the current fallocate offset. The
skipped hole is not zero-filled, but fallocate still returns success. A
later write to that hole may therefore fail with ENOSPC.
The function queries allocated ranges so that it can preserve existing
contents and write zeroes only into holes. However, the server may return
a range that starts before the current fallocate offset.
For example, assume the fallocate request is [100, 400) and the only
allocated range returned by the server is [0, 200):
Request: [100, 400)
Server range: [ 0, 200) allocated
Correct:
[100, 200) allocated data, skip
[200, 400) hole, zero-fill
Current:
[100, 300) skipped
[300, 400) zero-filled afterwards
The current code adds the full server range length, 200, to the current
offset 100 and moves to 300. As a result, the hole in [200, 300) is
skipped without being zero-filled.
Fix this by advancing only over the part of the allocated range that
overlaps the current fallocate offset. Ignore ranges that end before the
current offset and reject ranges whose end offset overflows.
This also prevents a malformed range length from causing an out-of-bounds
zero-buffer read.

s390/checksum: Fix csum_partial() without vector facility
Currently csum_partial() calls csum_copy() with copy=false and dst=NULL.
On machines without the vector facility, csum_copy() falls back to
cksm(dst, ...), causing the checksum to be calculated from address zero

The VX implementation already checksums data loaded from src. Make the

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/vf: Fix VF CCS attach/detach race with in-flight BO moves
xe_bo_move() attaches VF CCS read/write batch buffers (BBs) to a BO
after it transitions NULL/SYSTEM -> TT, and detaches them after it
transitions TT -> SYSTEM. Both operations were done synchronously on
the CPU immediately after building the move's copy/clear fence,
without waiting for that fence to signal. This creates two races with
VF migration:
- Attach happens too late relative to the copy job it is meant to
protect. If the copy job is submitted before the CCS BBs are
attached, a VF migration event that pauses execution mid-copy can
observe partially copied CCS metadata without the attach state
needed to correctly save/restore it.
- Detach happens too early relative to the copy job that moves data
out of TT. The CCS BBs are torn down right after the copy fence is
obtained, while the actual blit may still be in flight. A VF
migration event that pauses execution mid-copy can then race the
save/restore path against the still-running blit, and the CCS BBs
it would need to make sense of the paused state have already been
removed.
Fix both races:
- Move the attach call to before the copy/clear job is submitted, so
the CCS BBs are already registered by the time the copy runs. On
attach failure, unwind and bail out of the move. xe_migrate_ccs_rw_copy()
now takes the destination resource explicitly, since bo->ttm.resource
is not updated to the new resource until after the move commits.
- Detach only after explicitly waiting for the copy fence to signal,
instead of tearing down the CCS BBs immediately after obtaining it.
While here, also fix xe_sriov_vf_ccs_attach_bo() to properly unwind and
propagate errors: the per-context loop previously never broke out on
error, silently discarding earlier failures. Unwind by clearing each
attached context directly via xe_migrate_ccs_rw_copy_clear() instead of
reusing xe_sriov_vf_ccs_detach_bo(), which requires both contexts to be
attached before it will clean up either one.

drm/xe/guc: Hold device ref until queue teardown completes
GuC exec queue destruction can run asynchronously. If the final device
put happens from a destroy worker, drmm cleanup can end up draining

ksmbd: pin conn during async oplock break notification
smb2_oplock_break_noti() and smb2_lease_break_noti() store a ksmbd_conn
pointer in an async ksmbd_work and then queue that work on ksmbd-io. The
work only increments conn->r_count, which prevents teardown from passing
the pending-request wait after the increment, but it does not pin the
struct ksmbd_conn object.
If connection teardown races with an oplock break notification, the last
conn reference can be dropped before the queued worker finishes. The
worker then uses the freed conn in ksmbd_conn_write() and
ksmbd_conn_r_count_dec().
Take a real conn reference when publishing the conn pointer to the async
work item, and drop it after the notification work has decremented
r_count. Apply the same lifetime rule to lease break notification, which
uses the same work->conn pattern.

sctp: fix auth_hmacs array size in struct sctp_cookie
The auth_hmacs array in struct sctp_cookie is supposed to store a complete
SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ALGO parameter, which consists of a struct sctp_paramhdr
followed by N HMAC identifiers.
However, the array size was calculated using an extra 2 bytes instead of
sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr), which is 4 bytes. When four HMAC identifiers
are configured, the HMAC-ALGO parameter stored in the endpoint is larger
than the auth_hmacs buffer in the cookie.
As a result, sctp_association_init() copies beyond the end of auth_hmacs
when initializing the association, corrupting the adjacent auth_chunks
field. This can lead to an invalid HMAC identifier being accepted and later
cause an out-of-bounds read in sctp_auth_get_hmac().

wifi: at76c50x-usb: avoid length underflow in at76_guess_freq()
at76_guess_freq() checks only that the received frame is at least a bare
802.11 header (24 bytes) before subtracting the fixed management-body
offset:
len -= el_off;
For both beacon and probe response frames, el_off is 36. If the frame is
shorter than el_off, subtracting it causes the calculated IE length to
wrap. The length is eventually passed to cfg80211_find_elem_match() as a
very large unsigned value, so the element walk runs beyond the RX skb.
This path is reached from at76_rx_tasklet() while scanning. If the device
delivers a truncated beacon or probe response, the oversized IE length
causes an out-of-bounds read during scanning.
Skip the IE lookup if the frame does not reach the variable elements,

firewire: net: Fix fragmented datagram reassembly
fwnet_frag_new() keeps a sorted list of received fragments for a partial
datagram. When a new fragment is adjacent to an existing fragment, the
code checks whether the new fragment also closes the gap to the next or
previous list entry.
Those neighbor lookups currently assume that the current fragment always
has a real next or previous fragment. At a list edge, the next or
previous entry is the list head, not a struct fwnet_fragment_info.
The gap checks also compare against the old edge of the current fragment
instead of the edge after adding the new fragment. As a result, a
fragment that bridges two existing ranges may leave two adjacent ranges
unmerged, so fwnet_pd_is_complete() can miss a complete datagram.
Check for the list head before looking up the neighboring fragment, and
compare the neighbor against the new fragment's far edge when deciding
whether to merge all three ranges.
This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.

net/packet: avoid fanout hook re-registration after unregister
packet_set_ring() temporarily detaches a socket from packet delivery while
reconfiguring its ring. It records the previous running state, clears
po->num, unregisters the protocol hook when needed, drops po->bind_lock,
and later restores po->num and re-registers the hook from the saved
was_running value.
That unlocked window can race with NETDEV_UNREGISTER. The notifier can
observe the socket as not running, skip __unregister_prot_hook(), and
invalidate the per-socket binding by setting po->ifindex to -1 and clearing
po->prot_hook.dev. A one-member fanout group can still retain its shared
fanout hook device pointer. When packet_set_ring() resumes, re-registering
solely from the stale was_running state can re-add the fanout hook after
the device has been unregistered.
Treat po->ifindex == -1 as an invalidated binding after reacquiring
po->bind_lock. This is distinct from ifindex 0, the normal
unbound/wildcard state: ifindex -1 marks an existing device binding that
was invalidated when the device was unregistered. Restore po->num as
before, but do not re-register the hook if device unregister already
detached the socket.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: drop incoming messages that cross network namespace boundaries
rds_find_bound() looks up the destination socket using a global
rhashtable keyed solely on (addr, port, scope_id). Network namespaces
are not part of the key, so a sender in netns A can deliver an incoming
message (inc) to a socket that lives in a different netns B.
When this happens, inc->i_conn points to an rds_connection whose c_net
is netns A, but the receiving rs lives in netns B. Once the child
process that created netns A exits, cleanup_net() calls
rds_loop_exit_net() -> rds_loop_kill_conns() -> rds_conn_destroy(),
freeing that connection. If the survivor socket in netns B still holds
the inc, any subsequent dereference of inc->i_conn is a use-after-free.
There are two dangerous sites in rds_clear_recv_queue():
1. inc->i_conn->c_lcong (offset 88 of freed rds_connection, size 200)
read via rds_recv_rcvbuf_delta() -- confirmed by KASAN.
2. inc->i_conn->c_trans->inc_free(inc) (function pointer at offset 80)
called via rds_inc_put() when the inc refcount reaches zero -- same
race window, potential call-through-freed-object primitive.
The bug is reachable from unprivileged user namespaces
(CLONE_NEWUSER + CLONE_NEWNET), available since Linux 3.8.
Fix this by rejecting the delivery in rds_recv_incoming() when the
socket returned by rds_find_bound() belongs to a different network
namespace than the connection that carried the message. Use the
existing rds_conn_net() / sock_net() helpers and net_eq() for the
comparison.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Wait for completion instead of returning early in iommu_completion_wait()
need_sync is a per-IOMMU flag shared by all domains and devices behind
that IOMMU. It is set whenever a command is queued with sync == true and
cleared when a completion-wait (CWAIT) command is queued. However, a
cleared need_sync only means that a covering CWAIT has been queued, not
that all previously queued commands have actually completed in hardware.
iommu_completion_wait() read need_sync locklessly and returned early
when it was false. This breaks the "block until all previously queued
commands have completed" contract in a multi-CPU scenario:
CPU2: queue inv-B => need_sync = true
CPU1: queue CWAIT(N); need_sync = false; then wait_on_sem(N)
CPU2: read need_sync == false => return 0 (no wait!)
CPU2 returns without waiting for any sequence number even though its
inv-B may not have completed yet (CWAIT(N), queued after inv-B, has not
been signaled). CPU2 then proceeds to, for example, free page-table
pages while the IOMMU can still walk stale translations, opening a
use-after-free window. This is a logical race in the meaning of the
flag, not a memory-visibility issue, so barriers alone do not help.
Fix it without losing the optimization of avoiding redundant CWAIT
commands: take iommu->lock before testing need_sync, and when it is
false do not return early but wait for the last allocated sequence
number (cmd_sem_val). Since need_sync == false implies no sync command
was queued after the last CWAIT, that CWAIT is FIFO-ordered after every
not-yet-completed command, so waiting for its sequence number guarantees
all prior commands (possibly queued by another CPU) have completed. The
common path with pending work is unchanged and no extra hardware command
is issued.

wifi: mwifiex: bound uAP association event IEs to the event buffer
mwifiex_process_uap_event() handles EVENT_UAP_STA_ASSOC by exposing the
(re)association request IEs that the firmware copies into the event:
sinfo->assoc_req_ies = &event->data[len];
len = (u8 *)sinfo->assoc_req_ies - (u8 *)&event->frame_control;
sinfo->assoc_req_ies_len = le16_to_cpu(event->len) - (u16)len;
event->len is supplied by the device firmware and is never validated,
and the subtraction is unchecked. assoc_req_ies points into
adapter->event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE], a fixed-size array embedded in the
kmalloc()'d struct mwifiex_adapter.
On the ap_11n_enabled path mwifiex_set_sta_ht_cap() walks these IEs with
cfg80211_find_ie(), whose for_each_element() loop dereferences each
element header. A firmware-reported event->len larger than the bytes
actually received makes assoc_req_ies_len describe IEs that extend past
event_body, so the walk reads out of the adapter slab object, a
slab-out-of-bounds read (KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cfg80211_find_ie).
An event->len smaller than the header instead makes the int subtraction
negative, which wraps to a huge size_t when stored in assoc_req_ies_len.
The same length is handed to cfg80211_new_sta(), so a more modest
over-claim can also copy stale event_body bytes into the
NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION notification.
A malicious or malfunctioning mwifiex device (USB/SDIO/PCIe) can deliver
such an event while the interface is in AP/uAP mode.
Validate event->len before use: reject a length that underflows the
header or that would place the IEs outside the event_body[] buffer the
event was copied into. event->len here is struct mwifiex_assoc_event.len,
a payload field internal to this event, not the transport frame length,
so it is validated in this handler rather than at the generic
MWIFIEX_TYPE_EVENT receive path, which only sees the event cause and the
transport frame length. The bound is against event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE]
rather than the actually-received length because the transports store the
event differently (USB and SDIO leave the 4-byte event header in
event_skb, PCIe strips it via skb_pull), whereas event_body is the single

tipc_udp_rcast_add() and cleanup_bearer() both update ub->rcast.list with
list_add_rcu() / list_del_rcu(), but nothing serializes them. The add runs
from the encap receive softirq (via tipc_udp_rcast_disc()) without
rtnl_lock(), so it can race the cleanup delete and corrupt the list:
list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff8880298d7ab8,
but was ffff88802449ad38. (prev=ffff888027e3ec98)

The bearer can be enabled from an unprivileged user namespace, as the

Add a spinlock to struct udp_bearer and take it around the list_add_rcu()

the two writers can no longer corrupt the list.
Reject a duplicate peer under the same lock before allocating, and remove
tipc_udp_is_known_peer(). The old lockless pre-check in
tipc_udp_rcast_disc() was racy: two softirqs discovering the same peer
could both find it absent and add it twice.
cleanup_bearer() runs from a workqueue after tipc_udp_disable() clears the
bearer's up bit, so an encap softirq can still reach tipc_udp_rcast_add()
and add a peer after cleanup_bearer() has already emptied the list, leaking
that entry when the bearer is freed. Mark the bearer disabled under
rcast_lock once the list is emptied and refuse further additions.

sctp: fix auth_chunk_list capacity check in sctp_auth_ep_add_chunkid
sctp_auth_ep_add_chunkid() uses SCTP_NUM_CHUNK_TYPES (20) as the

20 chunk entries (param_hdr.length up to 24). However, the copy
destination asoc->c.auth_chunks in struct sctp_cookie is only
SCTP_AUTH_MAX_CHUNKS (16) entries (20 bytes). When more than 16
chunks are added, sctp_association_init() memcpy overflows the
destination by up to 4 bytes.
Fix by using SCTP_AUTH_MAX_CHUNKS as the capacity limit, matching
the destination capacity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate stream count in sctp_process_strreset_inreq()
When processing a RESET_IN_REQUEST from a peer,
sctp_process_strreset_inreq() derives the stream count from the
parameter length but does not check whether the resulting
RESET_OUT_REQUEST would exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN.
The OUT request header (sctp_strreset_outreq, 16 bytes) is 8 bytes
larger than the IN request header (sctp_strreset_inreq, 8 bytes).
Generally, the IP payload is bounded to 65535 bytes, so the stream
list cannot be large enough to trigger the overflow. However, on
interfaces with MTU > 65535 (e.g., loopback with IPv6 jumbograms), a
stream list that fits within the incoming IN parameter can cause a
__u16 overflow in sctp_make_strreset_req() when computing the OUT
request size, leading to an undersized skb allocation and a kernel
BUG:
net/core/skbuff.c:207 skb_panic

net/sctp/stream.c:655 sctp_process_strreset_inreq
The local setsockopt path validates the generated reset request size.
However, for an incoming-only reset, it accounts for the smaller IN
request even though the peer must generate an OUT request with the same
stream list. Such a request cannot be completed successfully by the
peer.
Reject peer IN requests whose corresponding OUT request would exceed
SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN. Also tighten the local check so it does not send an
IN request that would require an oversized OUT request from the peer.

sctp: auth: verify auth requirement when auth_chunk is NULL
sctp_auth_chunk_verify() returns true unconditionally when
chunk->auth_chunk is NULL, silently skipping authentication.
This is incorrect when:
1. skb_clone() failed in the BH receive path, leaving auth_chunk
NULL. In sctp_endpoint_bh_rcv() asoc is NULL for new
connections, so the early sctp_auth_recv_cid() check cannot
catch this.
2. No AUTH chunk precedes COOKIE-ECHO, so skb_clone() is never
called and auth_chunk remains NULL.
Fix by checking sctp_auth_recv_cid() when auth_chunk is NULL:
if authentication is required, return false to drop the chunk;

drm/xe/vm: Fix SVM leak on resv obj alloc failure in xe_vm_create()
Commit 9e9787414882 ("drm/xe/userptr: replace xe_hmm with gpusvm") made
xe_svm_init() unconditional in xe_vm_create() and extended it to also
initialize a "simple" gpusvm state for non-fault-mode VMs. The matching
xe_svm_fini() call in xe_vm_close_and_put() was updated to run
unconditionally, but the error unwind path in xe_vm_create() was not.
On the drm_gpuvm_resv_object_alloc() failure path, xe_svm_init() has
already succeeded but xe_svm_fini() is only called when
XE_VM_FLAG_FAULT_MODE is set. For non-fault-mode VMs this leaves
vm->svm.gpusvm partially initialized and leaks the resources allocated
by drm_gpusvm_init().
For fault-mode VMs, xe_svm_init() additionally acquires the pagemap
owner via drm_pagemap_acquire_owner() and the pagemaps via
xe_svm_get_pagemaps(). Those resources are released by xe_svm_close(),
not xe_svm_fini(). On the same error path, xe_svm_close() is not
called either, so fault-mode VMs leak the pagemap owner and pagemaps.
Fix both leaks:
- Call xe_svm_fini() unconditionally on the err_svm_fini path, matching
the unconditional xe_svm_init() call. Move the vm->size = 0
assignment out of the conditional so the xe_vm_is_closed() assert in
xe_svm_fini() (and xe_svm_close()) holds for both modes.
- Call xe_svm_close() for fault-mode VMs before xe_svm_fini(), matching
the ordering used in xe_vm_close_and_put().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: restrict socket creation to the initial network namespace
QRTR keeps its entire port and node state in module-global variables
that are not partitioned per network namespace: qrtr_local_nid is a
single global node id (always 1) and qrtr_ports is a single global
xarray. qrtr_port_lookup() and qrtr_local_enqueue() operate on that
global state with no network-namespace check, and qrtr_create() places
no restriction on the namespace a socket is created in.
As a result an unprivileged process that creates an AF_QIPCRTR socket
in a separate network namespace, e.g. via
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNET), can send QRTR datagrams -
including control-plane messages such as QRTR_TYPE_NEW_SERVER - to QRTR
sockets owned by another namespace, and vice versa. The receiving
socket sees such a message as coming from node id 1, indistinguishable
from a legitimate local client, breaking the isolation that network
namespaces are expected to provide.
QRTR is a transport to global hardware endpoints (the modem and other
remote processors) and has no per-namespace semantics; its in-kernel
name service already creates its socket in init_net only. Confine the
socket family to the initial network namespace, as other
non-namespace-aware socket families do (see llc_ui_create() and the
ieee802154 socket code).

rds: tcp: unregister sysctl before tearing down listen socket
rds_tcp_exit_net() frees the per-netns RDS TCP listen socket via

drm/xe/guc: Fix buffer overflow in steered register list allocation
The size calculation for the steered register extarray uses only the
geometry DSS mask (g_dss_mask) to determine the number of entries to

total = bitmap_weight(gt->fuse_topo.g_dss_mask, ...) * steer_reg_num;
However, the filling loop uses for_each_dss_steering(), which iterates
over for_each_dss(), defined as the union of g_dss_mask and c_dss_mask
(geometry + compute DSS). On platforms with compute-only DSS bits, the
loop writes past the allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent slab objects.
This manifests as list_del corruption and SLUB redzone overwrites during

Fix by computing the allocation size using the union of both DSS masks,

drm/amdgpu: Fix context pstate override handling
There are several problems in the context pstate handling code.
The most serious ones are potential use-after-free and NULL pointer
dereferences at context initialization time. Both are due
amdgpu_ctx_init() not holding the adev->pm.stable_pstate_ctx_lock, which
is otherwise used from both sysfs and the context code itself for
modifying and clearing the stored context pointer.
Second issue is that context fini can trample over the pstate
configuration set via sysfs. This is due the restore state
(ctx->stable_pstate) being saved at context init time, and not if, or when
the context actually changes the pstate. As the context exits it will
therefore incorrectly restore to what was set before the sysfs override
was requested.
The simplest fix is to drastically simplify how the state is tracked, by
clearly defining the points at which pstate ownership is taken and
released, and to handle all transitions under the correct lock.
Instead of at context init time, the previous state is saved only at the
point the context overrides the current state, and is restored on context
exit only if the context is still the owner of the current override state.

drm/xe: Hold a dma-buf reference for imported BOs
An imported dma-buf BO is created as a ttm_bo_type_sg BO whose
reservation object is the exporter's dma_buf->resv. The importer,
however, only takes a dma-buf reference after a successful
dma_buf_dynamic_attach(). Until then nothing keeps the exporter alive,
so if the exporter is freed while the BO still references its resv, a
later access to that resv is a use-after-free:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b9c
Workqueue: ttm ttm_bo_delayed_delete [ttm]
RIP: 0010:mutex_can_spin_on_owner+0x3f/0xc0
This can be reached on two paths:
- dma_buf_dynamic_attach() fails, or
- ttm_bo_init_reserved() fails during BO creation.
In both cases the BO already has bo->base.resv pointing at the exporter
resv, and sg BOs are always torn down via ttm_bo_delayed_delete(), which
locks bo->base.resv asynchronously - potentially after the exporter has
been freed.
Take the dma-buf reference in xe_bo_init_locked(), before
ttm_bo_init_reserved(), so it also covers a creation failure there, and
release it in xe_ttm_bo_destroy(). The reference is held for the whole
BO lifetime, keeping the shared resv alive on every path.
v2:
- Reworked the fix to avoid creating the imported sg BO before
dma_buf_dynamic_attach() succeeds.
- Attach with importer_priv == NULL and make invalidate_mappings ignore
incomplete imports.
v3:
- Dropped the xe-side reordering approach since importer_priv must be
valid when dma_buf_dynamic_attach() publishes the attachment.
- Per Christian's suggestion on the v1 thread, keyed the check on
import_attach rather than removing the sg guard entirely.
- Fixes both xe and amdgpu in a single TTM patch.
v4:
- Moved import_attach check to after dma_resv_copy_fences() so fences
are copied before returning for successful imports (Thomas).
- Removed exporter-alive claim from commit message (Thomas).

succeeds; the TTM fix alone is not sufficient for xe if the BO is
already LRU-visible. (Thomas)
v4 patch:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/736663/?series=169129&rev=2
- Patch 1 (drm/ttm) carries Christian's Reviewed-by from v4.
v6:
- Reworked the fix based on Thomas' suggestion. Instead of the TTM resv
individualization (v1-v5) plus the xe off-LRU/placement handling (v5),
just hold a dma-buf reference for the imported BO lifetime so the
shared resv can never be freed while the BO still references it.
Single xe patch, no TTM change. (Thomas)
- Take the reference in xe_bo_init_locked() before ttm_bo_init_reserved()
so a TTM creation failure is covered too (Thomas).
- Dropped the v5 series (drm/ttm + drm/xe off-LRU); the off-LRU approach
also regressed in CI BAT via ttm_bo_pipeline_gutting() creating a ghost

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/vm: Fix BO prefetch with CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC
When prefetch region is DRM_XE_CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC for a BO VMA,
the code used it as an index into region_to_mem_type[], causing an
out-of-bounds access since the value is -1.
Resolve the preferred location for BO VMAs directly: local VRAM on dGFX
(using the BO's tile placement) or system memory on iGPU.
Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product
Security.
v2:
-Fix null dereference

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pt: Reset current_op in xe_pt_update_ops_init()
xe_pt_update_ops_init() fails to reset current_op to 0. On the
vm_bind path, ops_execute() calls xe_pt_update_ops_prepare() inside
the xe_validation_guard() / drm_exec_until_all_locked() loop. When
that loop retries due to lock contention or OOM eviction
(drm_exec_retry_on_contention() / xe_validation_retry_on_oom()),
xe_pt_update_ops_prepare() runs again on the same vops, and each
call to bind_op_prepare() increments current_op without resetting it.
After N retries current_op exceeds the array size allocated by
xe_vma_ops_alloc(), causing an out-of-bounds write into
SLUB-poisoned memory and a subsequent UAF crash in
xe_migrate_update_pgtables_cpu() when reading the corrupted pt_op->bind.
Also reset needs_svm_lock and needs_invalidation which are derived in
the same prepare pass and would otherwise cause wrong migrate ops
selection and redundant TLB invalidation on retry.
Fix this by resetting current_op, needs_svm_lock and needs_invalidation
in xe_pt_update_ops_init().
v2 (Matt):
- Add details in commit message.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Check bounds on CRIU restore queue type and mqd size
We weren't checking whether the values provided in the private
data in kfd CRIU restore were within bounds.
For queue type, add a KFD_QUEUE_TYPE_MAX and ensure the provided
type is less than it.
For mqd_size, add new function mqd_size_from_queue_type and confirm
that the provided mqd_size matches expectations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix 32-bit overflow in CWSR total size calculation
total_cwsr_size was computed in 32-bit before being used as a BO/SVM
allocation size.
With large ctx_save_restore_area_size and debug_memory_size
multiplied by the XCC count, the product can wrap,
yielding an undersized CWSR save area that firmware later overruns.
Promote total_cwsr_size to u64 and use check_add_overflow()/
check_mul_overflow() in both kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() and
kfd_queue_release_buffers().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: bound EDID block reads to the response buffer
virtio_get_edid_block() validates the read offset only against the
device-supplied resp->size field, never against the fixed-size resp->edid
array. The EDID block index is driven by the device-supplied extension
count, so a malicious virtio-gpu backend can advertise a large size
together with a high block count and read far past the array into adjacent
kernel memory, which is then surfaced in the parsed EDID (an out-of-bounds
read / info leak).
Also reject any read whose end exceeds the size of the edid array.
Conforming EDID responses stay within the array and are unaffected.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/hdcp: check streams[] bounds before overflow
The data->streams[] overflow check is done after the buffer overflow has
already happened. Move the overflow check before the write.
Side note, emitting a warning splat with a backtrace might be overkill
here, but prefer not changing the behaviour other than not doing the
overrun.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix lifetime issue of amdgpu_vm_get_task_info_pasid()
The vm pointer returned from amdgpu_vm_get_vm_from_pasid() is only
valid while the lock is still being held. Once xa_unlock_irqrestore is
called and returned, the pointer is no longer under lock and is subject
to modification. Since, the caller still dereferences vm->task_info in
amdgpu_vm_get_task_info_vm() after the lock is removed, this causes a
use after unlock problem.
Remove the lifetime issue present in amdgpu_vm_get_task_info_pasid()
through removing the amdgpu_vm_get_vm_from_pasid() function from
amdgpu_vm.c and making the relevant code inline to hold the lock while
it is still in use.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/gpusvm: publish dpagemap early to avoid device mapping leak on error
drm_gpusvm_get_pages() only stored the local dpagemap into
svm_pages->dpagemap on the success path. If a later page failed (e.g.
-EOPNOTSUPP when ctx->allow_mixed is false) and jumped to err_unmap,
svm_pages->dpagemap was still NULL, so __drm_gpusvm_unmap_pages() skipped
device_unmap() and leaked the device mappings already created.
Assign svm_pages->dpagemap when the first device page is mapped so the
err_unmap path can device_unmap() those mappings.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: set new_stream to NULL after release
In dm_update_crtc_state(), the skip_modeset path releases new_stream
via dc_stream_release() but does not set the pointer to NULL.
If a later error (e.g., color management failure) triggers the fail
label, the error path calls dc_stream_release() again on the same
dangling pointer, causing a double release and potential use-after-free.
Fix this by setting new_stream to NULL after the initial release.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pwc: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure
The vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before
calling start_streaming(). If start_streaming() returns an error
without first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(),
vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued
buffers leak.
pwc's start_streaming() had two early returns that hit this trap:
-ENODEV when the USB device was already disconnected, and -ERESTARTSYS
when mutex_lock_interruptible() was interrupted by a signal. Call the
existing pwc_cleanup_queued_bufs() helper with VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED
before returning (matching the state already used by the
pwc_isoc_init() error path in the same function).
This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb ("media: uvcvideo:
Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: rtl2832_sdr: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure
The vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before
calling start_streaming(). If start_streaming() returns an error
without first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(),
vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued
buffers leak.
rtl2832_sdr_start_streaming() had multiple error paths that hit this
trap: two direct early returns (-ENODEV, -ERESTARTSYS), plus six
`goto err` paths covering subdev s_power, tuner setup, ADC setup,
stream-buffer allocation, urb allocation, and urb submission failures.
None of them returned the queued buffers.
The original function had no distinct success exit and fell straight
through into the err label, which previously only did mutex_unlock and
"return ret". Adding queued-buffer cleanup at err must therefore be
paired with an explicit success return; otherwise every successful
start would also drain the buffer queue and kill streaming. Add that
success return, then add rtl2832_sdr_cleanup_queued_bufs() at the err
label and before each early return.
The cleanup helper takes a vb2_buffer_state argument so that the
start_streaming error paths can pass VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED (as
expected by userspace on start_streaming failure) while stop_streaming
keeps its existing VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR semantics.
This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb ("media: uvcvideo:
Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure").
The err label still does not roll back power_ctrl(), frontend_ctrl(),
the POWER_ON flag, or stream/URB allocations that may have happened
before the failing step. Those are pre-existing leaks of a different
class and are not addressed here.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-ctrls: validate HEVC active reference counts
HEVC slice parameters are shared stateless V4L2 controls, but the common
validation path does not verify the active L0/L1 reference counts before
driver-specific code consumes them.
The original report came from Cedrus, but the active count bounds are
not Cedrus-specific. Validate them in the common HEVC slice control path
so stateless HEVC drivers get the same basic guarantees as soon as the
control is queued.
Do not reject ref_idx_l0/ref_idx_l1 entries here. Existing userspace may
use out-of-range sentinel values such as 0xff for missing references, and
some hardware can use that information for concealment. Keep this common
check limited to the active reference counts.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: close a re-opened queue timer in the destructor
queue_delete() closes the queue timer, then frees it. snd_seq_timer_close()
clears q->timer->timeri. snd_use_lock_sync() then drains borrowers, and
snd_seq_timer_delete() frees q->timer.
A borrower can re-open the timer inside that window. A SET_QUEUE_CLIENT
that took a queueptr() use_lock reference before the queue was unlinked
runs snd_seq_timer_open() after the close. Open refuses re-open only while
timeri is set, and the close just cleared it, so it re-opens timeri.
snd_seq_timer_delete() does not close that instance. Its snd_seq_timer_stop()
is a no-op, because running was cleared first. So it frees q->timer with the
instance still live. The queue is freed next.
The instance stays on the global timer with callback_data pointing at the
freed queue. A non-owner START on the unlocked queue arms it. The next tick
derefs the freed queue in snd_seq_timer_interrupt().
Reachable by an unprivileged user with access to /dev/snd/seq. No CAP and
no queue ownership required.
Close any lingering instance in the destructor. There, ->timeri can no
longer change: the queue is unlinked and all use_lock borrowers have
drained, so no snd_seq_queue_use() can re-open it. Close it before clearing
q->timer. snd_timer_close() waits for any in-flight snd_seq_timer_interrupt()
to finish, and that callback still reads q->timer (via snd_seq_check_queue()),
so q->timer must stay valid until it drains.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: drain a slave's callback before its master detaches it
snd_timer_close_locked() drains the closing instance's own in-flight
callback (IFLG_CALLBACK) before freeing it, but not its slaves'. When a
master instance is closed, remove_slave_links() clears each slave's
->timer; the slave's own close then reads timer == NULL and takes the
branch that skips the drain entirely (snd_timer_stop_slave() also no-ops
on a NULL timer). So a slave whose callback is still running when the
master is closed is freed underneath the live callback, leading to
use-after-free.
Drain the slaves too before remove_slave_links() severs them.
snd_timer_stop() has already taken this instance off the active list, so
no new slave callback can be queued. Take the slaves off the ack list so
a pending one can't fire either, then wait for any that is already in
flight.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: don't re-enter an instance callback that is still running
The userspace-driven timer (utimer) TRIGGER ioctl calls
snd_timer_interrupt() directly with no serialization, so two threads
triggering the same utimer can run snd_timer_interrupt() on one
snd_timer concurrently.
snd_timer_process_callbacks() drops timer->lock around each instance
callback and marks the in-flight callback with the single
SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK bit; snd_timer_close_locked() waits on that
bit to drain an in-flight callback before freeing the instance. The bit
cannot represent two concurrent callbacks: when a second interrupt
re-queues an instance whose callback is still running, both run at once,
the first to finish clears the bit, and the close-path drain then frees
the instance (and its callback_data) while the other callback is still
live - a use-after-free reachable by any user able to open
/dev/snd/timer, both via a user timer instance and via a sequencer queue
timer bound to the utimer.
snd_timer_interrupt() sets IFLG_CALLBACK before dropping timer->lock, so
a concurrent interrupt already observes it under the lock. Skip
re-queuing an instance (and its slaves) to the ack/sack list while its
callback is in flight; the accumulated pticks are delivered on the next
tick, so no event is lost.
