In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: validate DFS referral string offsets
parse_dfs_referrals() validates that the response header and referral
array fit in the received buffer, but each referral also contains string
offsets supplied by the server.
Those offsets are used to compute the DfsPath and NetworkAddress string
pointers without checking whether they still point inside the response
buffer. A malformed referral can therefore make the computed pointer
exceed the end of the buffer. The resulting negative max_len is then
passed to cifs_strndup_from_utf16(), and the non-Unicode path forwards it
to kstrndup() as a size_t, allowing strnlen() to read out of bounds.
Validate each string offset before deriving the string pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: pin upper rpc_clnt across the TLS connect_worker
The TLS connect path has a use-after-free: nothing pins the
upper rpc_clnt across the delayed connect_worker. xs_connect()
stores task->tk_client in sock_xprt::clnt as a raw pointer
and queues the worker; for TLS-secured transports that worker
is xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(), which reads several fields out
of the saved pointer (cl_timeout, cl_program, cl_prog,
cl_vers, cl_cred, cl_stats) to construct the args for the
inner handshake rpc_clnt.
The xprt does not reference the rpc_clnt; the rpc_clnt
references the xprt. xs_destroy() does cancel the
connect_worker, but it runs only when the xprt's refcount
drops to zero, which cannot happen until the rpc_clnt
releases its cl_xprt reference in rpc_free_client_work().
When a TLS handshake fails fatally (for example, an mTLS
mount whose client cert does not match the server), the
connecting task is woken with -EACCES and exits, the mount
caller invokes rpc_shutdown_client(), and the upper rpc_clnt
is freed before the queued connect_worker fires.
xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket() then dereferences the freed clnt,
producing the refcount_t underflow Michael Nemanov reported.
Take a reference on the upper rpc_clnt in xs_connect() for
TLS transports via a new rpc_hold_client() helper, and drop
it in the connect_worker's exit path with rpc_release_client().
The xprt_lock_connect() / xprt_unlock_connect() pairing
already serialises xs_connect() with xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(),
so the take and release are balanced one-for-one.
The non-TLS connect worker (xs_tcp_setup_socket) never reads
sock_xprt::clnt, so leave that path alone and avoid the
clnt-holds-xprt-holds-clnt cycle that would otherwise prevent
xprt destruction.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: core: regulator_lock_two() should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK
Compare against -EDEADLK, which is what ww_mutex_lock() actually
returns and what every other deadlock check in this file already uses.
Function regulator_lock_two() acquires two regulators via
regulator_lock_nested() -> ww_mutex_lock(). On contention,
ww_mutex_lock() returns -EDEADLK, which is the caller's signal to drop
the lock it holds and retry the acquisition in the canonical order.
However, regulator_lock_two() tests the return value against -EDEADLOCK
rather than -EDEADLK. On most architectures, EDEADLK and EDEADLOCK are
the same value, so the comparison happens to be correct and the bug is
invisible. But on MIPS, SPARC, and PowerPC, those two errors have
different values. The test is wrong: a genuine -EDEADLK backoff no
longer matches -EDEADLOCK, so instead of unlocking and retrying, the
code falls into WARN_ON(ret) and returns with only one of the two
regulators locked.
In practice, this is a bug only on MIPS, because the regulator core is
not built or used on the other two platforms.
In general, EDEADLK is preferred over EDEADLOCK for new code.

smb: client: fix overflow in passthrough ioctl bounds check
smb2_ioctl_query_info() validates the PASSTHRU_FSCTL response payload
before copying it to userspace.
The payload offset and length both come from 32-bit fields. The bounds
check currently adds OutputOffset and qi.input_buffer_length directly, so
the addition can wrap in 32-bit arithmetic before the result is compared
against the response buffer length.
A malicious server can use a large OutputOffset and a small OutputCount
to make the wrapped sum pass the bounds check. The later copy_to_user()
then reads from io_rsp + OutputOffset, outside the response buffer.
Use size_add() for the offset plus length check so overflow is treated as
out of bounds.

KVM: arm64: vgic: Check the interrupt is still ours before migrating it
vgic_prune_ap_list() drops both ap_list_lock and irq_lock while migrating
an interrupt to another vCPU. After reacquiring the locks it only checks
that the affinity is unchanged (target_vcpu == vgic_target_oracle(irq))
before moving the interrupt, which assumes that an interrupt whose affinity
is preserved is still queued on this vCPU's ap_list.
That assumption no longer holds if the interrupt is taken off the ap_list
while the locks are dropped. vgic_flush_pending_lpis() removes the
interrupt from the list and sets irq->vcpu to NULL, but leaves
enabled/pending/target_vcpu untouched. As the interrupt is still enabled
and pending, vgic_target_oracle() returns the same target_vcpu, so the
affinity check passes and list_del() is run a second time on an entry that
has already been removed.
Also check that the interrupt is still assigned to this vCPU

KVM: arm64: vgic: Handle race between interrupt affinity change and LPI disabling
Hyunwoo Kim reports some really bad races should the following
situation occur:
- LPI-I is pending in vcpu-B's AP list
- vcpu-A writes to vcpu-B's RD to disable its LPIs
- vcpu-C moves I from B to C
If the last two race nicely enough, vgic_prune_ap_list() can drop
the irq and AP list locks, reacquire them, and in the interval
the irq has been freed. UAF follows.
The fix is two-fold:
- Before dropping the irq and ap_list locks, take a reference on
the irq
- Do not try to handle migration of the pending bit: there is no
expectation that this state is retained, as per the architecture
With that, we're sure that the interrupt is still around, and we
safely remove it from the AP list as it has no target at this
stage (unless another interrupt fires, but that's another story).

netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst
The br_netfilter fake rtable is embedded in struct net_bridge and is
attached to bridged packets with skb_dst_set_noref(). If such a packet is
queued to NFQUEUE, __nf_queue() upgrades that fake dst with
skb_dst_force().
At that point the queued skb can hold a real dst reference after bridge
teardown has started. The problem is not that every bridged packet needs
its own dst reference. The problem is that NFQUEUE can keep the bridge
private fake dst alive after unregister begins.
Fix this by keeping the bridge fake dst model unchanged and pinning the
bridge master device only while the packet sits in NFQUEUE. Record the
bridge device in nf_queue_entry when the queued skb carries a bridge fake
dst, take a device reference for the queue lifetime, and drop it when the
queue entry is freed.
Also make sure queued entries are reaped when that bridge device goes
down, and drop the redundant nf_bridge_info_exists() test from the fake
dst detection.
This keeps netdev_priv(br->dev) alive until verdict completion, so the
embedded fake rtable and its metrics backing storage cannot be freed out
from under dst_release(). It also avoids the constant refcount bump and
avoids using ipv4-specific dst helpers for IPv6 bridge traffic.

nf_conntrack_sip linerizes skbs, hence no fragmented skb can be seen.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: guard mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defrag
nf_ct_frag6_reasm() slides the packet head forward to drop the IPv6
fragment header and then unconditionally advances skb->mac_header:
skb->mac_header += sizeof(struct frag_hdr);
On the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT defrag path the skb has no link-layer header
yet, so skb->mac_header is still the "not set" sentinel (u16)~0U. Adding
sizeof(struct frag_hdr) wraps it to a small value (0xffff + 8 == 7),
after which skb_mac_header_was_set() wrongly reports a MAC header is
present and skb_mac_header() points into the headroom.
The reassembler has done this unconditional add since it was introduced;
it was harmless while mac_header was a bare pointer, but wrong once
mac_header became a u16 offset whose unset state is the ~0U sentinel
tested by skb_mac_header_was_set(). The sibling net/ipv6/reassembly.c
does the same relocation and does guard the adjustment; mirror the
guard here.

netfilter: nf_conncount: fix zone comparison in tuple dedup
The "already exists" dedup logic in __nf_conncount_add() decides
whether a connection has already been counted and can be skipped instead
of incrementing the connlimit count. It compares the conntrack zone of a
list entry with the zone of the connection being added using
nf_ct_zone_id() and nf_ct_zone_equal(), passing conn->zone.dir or
zone->dir as the direction argument.
Those helpers take enum ip_conntrack_dir values: IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL is 0
and IP_CT_DIR_REPLY is 1. However, zone->dir is a u8 bitmask:
NF_CT_ZONE_DIR_ORIG is 1, NF_CT_ZONE_DIR_REPL is 2 and
NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_DIR is 3. Passing that bitmask as the enum direction
shifts the meaning of every non-zero value. An ORIG-only zone passes 1
and is tested as REPLY, while REPL-only and default zones pass 2 or 3 and
test bits beyond the valid direction range. In those cases
nf_ct_zone_id() can fall back to NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID instead of using
the real zone id, so different zones can be treated as equal and dedup
collapses to tuple equality alone.
nf_conncount stores and compares the original-direction tuple for a
connection. If an skb already has an attached conntrack entry,
get_ct_or_tuple_from_skb() explicitly copies
ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL].tuple, regardless of the packet's
ctinfo. Therefore the zone comparison in the tuple dedup path must use
IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL as well; the zone direction bitmask describes where a
zone id applies, not which direction this conncount tuple represents.
Fix the two dedup comparisons by passing IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL directly.
Do not special-case NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_DIR and do not compare raw zone
ids: using the existing helpers with IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL preserves the
direction-aware NF_CT_DEFAULT_ZONE_ID fallback. A default bidirectional
zone contains the ORIG bit, so it naturally returns the real zone id;
reply-only zones continue to fall back for original-direction tuple
comparisons.

sunrpc: pin svc_xprt across the asynchronous TLS handshake callback
svc_tcp_handshake() stores the raw svc_xprt pointer in
tls_handshake_args.ta_data and submits the request through
tls_server_hello_x509(). The handshake core takes only
sock_hold(req->hr_sk); nothing references the embedding struct
svc_sock that svc_tcp_handshake_done() reaches via container_of().
Two close races leave the in-flight callback writing through a freed
svc_sock. svc_sock_free() calls tls_handshake_cancel() and discards
its return value: a false return means handshake_complete() has
already set HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED but hp_done() may not have
finished, yet svc_sock_free() proceeds to kfree(svsk). The
cancel-loser fall-through inside svc_tcp_handshake() itself produces
the same window: when wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()
returns <= 0 (timeout or signal) and tls_handshake_cancel() returns
false, the function does not drain, returns, and svc_handle_xprt()
calls svc_xprt_received(), which clears XPT_BUSY and can drop the
last reference. A concurrent close then runs svc_sock_free() while
svc_tcp_handshake_done() is still updating xpt_flags and walking
svsk->sk_handshake_done.
The corruption surfaces as set_bit/clear_bit RMW into the freed
xpt_flags slab slot and as complete_all() walking and writing the
freed wait_queue_head_t list embedded in sk_handshake_done -- a
slab-corruption primitive, not a benign read. The path is reachable
on any TLS-enabled NFS server whenever a connection close overlaps
the tlshd downcall delivery window; the interruptible wait means
signal delivery suffices, not just SVC_HANDSHAKE_TO expiry.
Take svc_xprt_get(xprt) immediately before tls_server_hello_x509()
so the in-flight callback owns its own reference. Release it on the
two edges where the callback is guaranteed not to fire -- submission
failure from tls_server_hello_x509() and a successful
tls_handshake_cancel() -- and at the tail of
svc_tcp_handshake_done() after complete_all().

sunrpc: wait for in-flight TLS handshake callback when cancel loses race
When wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() in
svc_tcp_handshake() returns 0 (timeout) or -ERESTARTSYS (signal) and
tls_handshake_cancel() then returns false, handshake_complete() has
won the cancellation race: it has set HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED and
is about to invoke svc_tcp_handshake_done(), but the callback's
side effects on xpt_flags and on svsk->sk_handshake_done have not
yet committed.
The current code reads xpt_flags immediately to decide whether the
session succeeded. Two races result.
If the callback has executed set_bit(XPT_TLS_SESSION) but not yet
clear_bit(XPT_HANDSHAKE), svc_tcp_handshake() sees a session,
enqueues the transport, and returns. svc_xprt_received() then
clears XPT_BUSY, a worker thread picks the transport up, the
dispatcher in svc_handle_xprt() observes XPT_HANDSHAKE still set,
and xpo_handshake is invoked a second time. That svc_tcp_handshake()
calls init_completion(&svsk->sk_handshake_done) while the original
callback concurrently calls complete_all() on it, corrupting the
embedded swait_queue.
If the callback has set HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED but not yet
entered svc_tcp_handshake_done(), svc_tcp_handshake() reads
XPT_TLS_SESSION as clear and tears the connection down even though
the handshake is about to succeed.
Wait for the callback to commit before inspecting xpt_flags. The
completion is guaranteed to fire because handshake_complete()
invokes svc_tcp_handshake_done() unconditionally once it has set
HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED.

hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup_rsvd() stores the charged cgroup in h_cg, but
the immediately following hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup() overwrites h_cg

As a result, hugetlb_cgroup_commit_charge_rsvd() stores the wrong

When the folio is later freed, free_huge_folio() unconditionally calls
both hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_folio() and
hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_folio_rsvd(). The rsvd uncharge reads back the
wrong cgroup from the folio and decrements a counter that was never

In do_action()'s DeleteIndexEntryAllocation case, e->size comes
from an on-disk INDEX_BUFFER entry. When e->size makes
e + e->size point past hdr + hdr->used,
PtrOffset(e1, Add2Ptr(hdr, used)) returns a negative ptrdiff_t
that is silently cast to a quasi-infinite size_t when passed
to memmove(). The memmove then walks past the destination
buffer.
The sibling DeleteIndexEntryRoot case at fslog.c:3540-3543
already carries the corresponding guard:
if (PtrOffset(e1, Add2Ptr(hdr, used)) < esize ||
Add2Ptr(e, esize) > Add2Ptr(lrh, rec_len) ||
used + esize > le32_to_cpu(hdr->total)) {
goto dirty_vol;

Apply the same shape to the allocation-path case. Also reject
esize == 0: memmove(e, e, ...) is a no-op and leaves
hdr->used unchanged, hiding a malformed entry from the
existing check_index_header() walk.
Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 by

ntfs3: bound to_move in indx_insert_into_root before hdr_insert_head
indx_insert_into_root() promotes a full resident $INDEX_ROOT into
$INDEX_ALLOCATION and copies all non-last resident root entries into
a newly allocated INDEX_BUFFER via hdr_insert_head(). The source
byte count 'to_move' is summed from the on-disk resident entry sizes
and is independent of the destination buffer size, which comes from
root->index_block_size (via indx->index_bits).
A crafted NTFS image that keeps a valid, full resident root but
shrinks root->index_block_size down to 512 after the root has been
populated makes hdr_insert_head() memcpy attacker-controlled resident
entry bytes past the end of the kmalloc(1u << indx->index_bits)
allocation returned by indx_new(). For a 512-byte destination and a
resident root whose non-last entries total 560 bytes, the memcpy
overruns by 120 bytes and a following memmove extends the highest
written offset to 136 bytes past the allocation. The overflow bytes
are a direct copy of on-disk entries (via kmemdup), so they are
fully attacker-controlled.
The write is reachable from unprivileged open(O_CREAT) on a mounted
crafted NTFS image: a single sufficiently long create in a directory
whose resident root is already full forces root promotion and
triggers the copy.
This is a controlled out-of-bounds write of 120-136 bytes past a
kmalloc(index_block_size) allocation, with attacker-controlled
content. It is a bounded adjacent-heap corruption primitive; it is
not an arbitrary-address write. Successful exploitation into a named
victim object depends on the surrounding slab layout.
Reject the copy at the sink. The destination's INDEX_HDR already
reports hdr_total (the payload capacity of the new buffer) and
hdr_used (the bytes already consumed by the terminal END entry
installed by indx_new()); require that to_move fits in the remaining
payload before calling hdr_insert_head(). On mismatch, fail with
-EINVAL and mark the filesystem as having a detected on-disk
inconsistency, which is the same behaviour as the surrounding
validation in this function.

indx_insert_into_buffer() computes
used = used1 - to_copy - sp_size;
memmove(de_t, Add2Ptr(sp, sp_size), used - le32_to_cpu(hdr1->de_off));
where sp and sp_size come from hdr_find_split(). hdr_find_split()
walks entries by le16_to_cpu(e->size) without validating that each
step stays within hdr->used or that the size field is at least
sizeof(struct NTFS_DE). index_hdr_check(), the on-load gatekeeper,
only validates header-level fields (used, total, de_off) and does
not walk per-entry sizes.
A crafted NTFS image whose leaf INDEX_HDR reports used == total but
contains one interior NTFS_DE with size = 0xFFF0 therefore passes
validation, descends to indx_insert_into_buffer() through the
ntfs_create() -> indx_insert_entry() path, and makes hdr_find_split()
return an sp whose sp_size (0xFFF0) greatly exceeds the remaining
bytes in the buffer. The u32 subtraction underflows and the memmove
count becomes a near-4-GiB value, producing an out-of-bounds kernel
write that corrupts adjacent allocations and panics the kernel.
Reproduced on 7.0.0-rc7 with UML + KASAN via a crafted image and a
single 'touch' inside the mounted directory; crash site resolves to
fs/ntfs3/index.c at the memmove. Trigger requires only local mount
of an attacker-supplied filesystem image (USB, loopback, or removable
media auto-mount).
Reject the split whenever the chosen sp plus its declared size
already extends past hdr1->used. This is the minimal fix; it
preserves the existing hdr_find_split() contract and relies on the
same out: cleanup path as the pre-existing error returns.
A prior OOB read in the very same indx_insert_into_buffer() memmove
was fixed in commit b8c44949044e ("fs/ntfs3: Fix OOB read in
indx_insert_into_buffer") by tightening hdr_find_e(), but that fix
does not cover the split-point size field path addressed here: sp is
returned by hdr_find_split(), not hdr_find_e(), and the underflow is

landlock: Fix LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL bypass on the SIGIO path
LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL must prevent a sandboxed process from signaling
processes outside its Landlock domain. It can be bypassed through the
asynchronous SIGIO delivery path.
A sandboxed process that owns any file or socket can arm it with
fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, -pgid), fcntl(fd, F_SETSIG, SIGKILL) and O_ASYNC, so
that an I/O event makes the kernel deliver the chosen signal to the
whole process group. As the head of its process group's task list (the
default position right after fork()) that group can also hold the
non-sandboxed process that launched it, e.g. a supervisor or a security
monitor. The sandbox can thus kill or signal the processes
LANDLOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL is meant to protect from it.
The scope is enforced in hook_file_send_sigiotask() against the Landlock
domain recorded at F_SETOWN time, not the live domain of the sender.
control_current_fowner() decides whether to record that domain and skips
recording it when the fowner target is in the caller's thread group,
which is safe only for a single-task target (PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID).
For a process group (PIDTYPE_PGID) pid_task() returns only one member;
recording is skipped whenever that member shares the caller's thread
group, and hook_file_send_sigiotask() then lets the signal fan out to
the whole group unchecked.
Record the domain for every non single-process target so the scope is
enforced against each group member at delivery time.
That recording is necessary but not sufficient on its own: the kernel
signals a process group through its members' thread-group leaders, and
the leader of the registrant's own process can carry a different
Landlock domain than the sibling thread that armed the owner.
domain_is_scoped() would then deny that leader, even though commit
18eb75f3af40 ("landlock: Always allow signals between threads of the
same process") requires same-process delivery to be allowed.
hook_task_kill() avoids this by evaluating same_thread_group() live, per
recipient; the SIGIO path instead delegates the whole decision to a
single registration-time check, which a process-group fan-out cannot
honor.
So also record the registrant's thread group next to its domain and
exempt it at delivery: hook_file_send_sigiotask() allows the signal
whenever the recipient belongs to the registrant's own process,
restoring the same-process guarantee while keeping out-of-domain group
members blocked. The direct kill() path (hook_task_kill) already
evaluates the live domain and is unaffected.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/proc/task_mmu: fix make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() prot-update race
Patch series "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes".
These are pre-existing bug fixes that were carried at the front of the
userfaultfd RWP working-set-tracking series up to v5 [1]. Per review
feedback that fixes should not sit in the middle of a feature series, they
are split out and sent on their own; the RWP series is reposted rebased on
top of this.
All six were flagged by the Sashiko AI review of the RWP series and carry
independent of RWP, apply to mm-new directly, and carry Cc: stable@.
1: fs/proc/task_mmu: a missing huge_ptep_modify_prot_start() in
make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() can lose hardware Dirty/Accessed updates
when PAGEMAP_SCAN write-protects a hugetlb PTE.
2: fs/proc/task_mmu: pagemap_scan_hugetlb_entry() compares the range
against HPAGE_SIZE rather than the hstate page size, so it never
write-protects gigantic hugetlb pages.
3: fs/proc/task_mmu: PAGEMAP_SCAN with PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING over an
unpopulated hugetlb range self-deadlocks -- pagemap_scan_pte_hole()
calls uffd_wp_range() while walk_hugetlb_range() holds the hugetlb
vma lock for read, and hugetlb_change_protection() then takes it
for write. Install the marker inline instead.
4: mm/huge_memory: change_non_present_huge_pmd() drops pmd_swp_uffd_wp
on a device-private PMD permission downgrade, silently losing the
uffd-wp marker.
5: userfaultfd: must_wait() applies pte_write() to a locklessly read
PTE without checking pte_present(), so swap/migration entries
decode random offset bits and a thread can stay parked on a stale
fault.
6: userfaultfd: __VMA_UFFD_FLAGS feeds VMA_UFFD_MINOR_BIT (41) to
mk_vma_flags() unconditionally, an out-of-bounds write into the
single-word vma_flags_t on 32-bit. Build the mask from config-gated
per-mode masks so an unavailable bit is never materialised.
This patch (of 6):
make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() arms the UFFD_WP bit on a present HugeTLB PTE by
calling huge_ptep_modify_prot_commit() with a ptent snapshot that was
fetched without the corresponding huge_ptep_modify_prot_start(). The
start helper is what atomically clears the entry so the kernel-owned
snapshot stays consistent until the commit; without it, the hardware may
set Dirty or Accessed in the live PTE between the original read and the
commit, and huge_ptep_modify_prot_commit() (whose generic implementation
just calls set_huge_pte_at()) then writes the stale snapshot back over the
live hardware bits, losing the update.
The non-hugetlb sibling make_uffd_wp_pte() does this correctly via
ptep_modify_prot_start() / ptep_modify_prot_commit(). Mirror that pattern
for the present-PTE branch. The migration case stays as-is -- migration
entries are non-present, so there's no hardware update to race against.
