In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qcom-rng - Remove crypto_rng interface
qcom-rng.c exposes the same hardware through two completely separate
interfaces, crypto_rng and hwrng. However, the implementation of this
is buggy because it permits generation operations from these interfaces
to run concurrently with each other, accessing the same registers. That
is, qcom_rng_generate() synchronizes with itself but not with
qcom_hwrng_read(). This results in potential repetition of output from
the RNG, output of non-random values, etc.
Fortunately, there's actually no point in hardware RNG drivers
implementing the crypto_rng interface. It's not actually used by
anything besides the "rng" algorithm type of AF_ALG, which in turn is
not actually used in practice. Other crypto_rng hardware drivers are
likewise being phased out, leaving just the hwrng support.
Thus, remove it to simplify the code and avoid conflict (and confusion)
with the hwrng interface which is the one that actually matters.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: sun8i-ce - Remove crypto_rng interface
Since the crypto_rng interface for hardware PRNGs is unused and is
redundant with hwrng and the actual Linux RNG, it's being phased out.
Most drivers for it were already removed. Go ahead and remove the
sun8i-ce support which is one of the only remaining ones.
Note that the sun8i-ce support for hwrng remains in place. That is the
interface that actually matters.
As usual for crypto_rng, this driver was also buggy: its ->generate()
function had a use-after-free vulnerability due to using
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() without handling shutting
down the DMA operation if a signal is sent. There's no point in fixing
this separately only to remove the code anyway, so this commit is marked
with Fixes and Cc stable.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qce - fix CCM AAD buffer underallocation
The AAD buffer allocated in qce_aead_ccm_prepare_buf_assoclen()
can be smaller than the length later programmed into the DMA
scatterlist.
The allocation size is currently calculated as:
ALIGN(assoclen, 16) + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN
while the DMA length is set to:
ALIGN(assoclen + adata_header_len, 16)
Since ALIGN() does not distribute over addition, the allocation
can be smaller than the DMA length. For example, when
assoclen = 32 and adata_header_len = 2:
allocation = ALIGN(32, 16) + 6 = 38
DMA length = ALIGN(32 + 2, 16) = 48
As a result, the QCE hardware can read beyond the allocated
buffer while computing the CBC-MAC over the associated data.
The extra bytes are folded into the authentication tag,
resulting in an incorrect tag and causing CCM self-test
failures such as:
alg: aead: ccm-aes-qce encryption test failed (wrong result)
on test vector 8
Fix the allocation by adding the maximum possible AAD header
length before alignment:
ALIGN(assoclen + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN, 16)
This guarantees that the allocated buffer is large enough
for the fully padded AAD data for all supported header sizes.

crypto: mxs-dcp - fix source scatterlist length access
mxs_dcp_aes_block_crypt() uses sg_dma_len() without mapping the source

decryption to process the wrong number of bytes when
CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH=y.
Use the original scatterlist length instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in snd_usbmidi_novation_output()
snd_usbmidi_novation_output() lays out a two-byte header at
transfer_buffer[0..1] and passes &transfer_buffer[2] together with a
length of ep->max_transfer - 2 to snd_rawmidi_transmit():
count = snd_rawmidi_transmit(ep->ports[0].substream,
&transfer_buffer[2],
ep->max_transfer - 2);
ep->max_transfer comes from the output endpoint's wMaxPacketSize via
usb_maxpacket(). A malformed or malicious device can advertise a bulk
OUT endpoint with a wMaxPacketSize of 1 - the USB core only clamps this
value downwards - so ep->max_transfer becomes 1 and the count argument
becomes -1.
snd_rawmidi_transmit() passes the negative count on to
__snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek(), where "if (count1 > count) count1 = count"
leaves count1 negative; get_aligned_size() keeps it negative for a
byte-stream substream, so the following memcpy(buffer, ..., count1) runs
with a (size_t)-1 length and writes far past the transfer buffer, which
was allocated with usb_alloc_coherent(ep->max_transfer).
This is the same class of bug that was fixed for snd_usbmidi_akai_output()
in commit 0970274613fb ("ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in
snd_usbmidi_akai_output()"); the novation output routine was left
unguarded. Bail out when the endpoint cannot hold the two-byte header
plus at least one payload byte.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Complete cleanup after system-resume errors
A failed system resume can leave the card unusable until reboot.
usb_audio_resume() jumps to err_out when snd_usb_pcm_resume() or
snd_usb_mixer_resume() fails. The error path skips the out: block, which
restores D0 and decrements chip->num_suspended_intf.
The card stays in SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D3hot, so later control access blocks in
snd_power_ref_and_wait(). USB core logs an interface resume callback error.
It does not retry that callback, so a later callback cannot complete the
skipped cleanup.
usb_audio_suspend() increments num_suspended_intf before returning success.
A system-resume callback must consume the system-suspend count even if a
component resume fails. Otherwise, the stranded count skews later suspend
and resume cycles.
Do not apply this cleanup to runtime-resume errors. Runtime PM can retry
-EAGAIN or -EBUSY without another suspend callback. The count must continue
to describe that suspended interface. Other runtime-resume errors latch
runtime_error in the PM core and do not cause an immediate callback retry.
Both parts of the system-resume error path are longstanding. Commit
88a8516a2128a ("ALSA: usbaudio: implement USB autosuspend") introduced
err_out past the D0 restore. Commit 862b2509d157c ("ALSA: usb-audio: Fix
inconsistent card PM state after resume") later moved
num_suspended_intf-- into the out: block. The error path now skips both
operations.
No third-party code is needed to reach the error path.
snd_usb_mixer_resume() ends in snd_usb_mixer_activate(), which returns the
result of usb_submit_urb() for devices that have a mixer status URB. Its
mixer->private_resume hook can also fail through scarlett2_init_notify().
snd_usb_pcm_resume() issues a SET_CUR request to a UAC3 power domain. It
can return -EPIPE or -EIO when the device stalls the request.
Route a component error through out: only when system_suspend is nonzero.
Continue to return runtime-resume errors through err_out. Later component
resume stages remain skipped. The original error still reaches USB core.
A later transfer can fail if the device did not recover.
I reproduced the system-resume failure on an Audient iD14 MkI with an
out-of-tree diagnostic mixer resume hook. An injected -EIO on the unpatched
core left control readers in uninterruptible sleep in
snd_power_ref_and_wait() until a reboot. With this patch, the same failure
restored control access. A second system suspend and resume also succeeded
after I disabled fault injection.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: option: fix slab OOB read in interrupt URB callback
The interrupt URB buffer is allocated in setup_port_interrupt_in() based
on the endpoint's wMaxPacketSize:
buffer_size = usb_endpoint_maxp(epd);
port->interrupt_in_buffer = kmalloc(buffer_size, GFP_KERNEL);
When a USB device declares wMaxPacketSize = 8 on its interrupt IN
endpoint, the buffer is allocated from kmalloc-8 cache (exactly
8 bytes).
If the device sends a short packet (actual_length < wMaxPacketSize),
the URB completes with status == 0 and the callback proceeds to read:
data[sizeof(struct usb_ctrlrequest)]
which evaluates to data[8], accessing 1 byte beyond the allocated 8-byte
buffer. This results in a slab out-of-bounds read.
Fix this by adding the missing bounds check: first verify that the
actual length is large enough to contain the struct usb_ctrlrequest
header before accessing req_pkt->bRequestType and req_pkt->bRequest,
and then verify that there is an additional byte for the modem signal
state before reading data[sizeof(struct usb_ctrlrequest)] inside the
conditional. Use sizeof(*req_pkt) instead of sizeof(struct
usb_ctrlrequest) for consistency.

USB: c67x00: fix use-after-free in c67x00_add_iso_urb()
When TD creation fails for the last packet of an isochronous URB,
c67x00_add_iso_urb() gives the URB back before updating the endpoint
scheduling state.
c67x00_giveback_urb() frees the URB private data, and the completion
callback may release the final URB reference. The following accesses to
urbp->ep_data, urb->interval, and urbp->cnt can therefore use freed
memory.
Update next_frame and cnt before giving back the failed final packet,
making the giveback the last operation that uses the URB and its private
data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: usbfs: fix use-after-free of usb_device in usbdev_release()
usbdev_release() drops its reference to the struct usb_device before
draining the list of completed async URBs, but that drain path reads back
through the same object: free_async() calls dec_usb_memory_use_count()
for any URB whose buffer came from the usbfs mmap() region, and its first
statement is bus_to_hcd(ps->dev->bus).
After a disconnect the usbfs reference can be the last one, in which case
usb_put_dev() frees the device and the subsequent loop reads offset 80 of
freed memory and uses the result as a struct usb_hcd *, which
hcd_buffer_free_pages() then dereferences.
This is reachable by an unprivileged process that has read/write access to
a /dev/bus/usb node: mmap() the fd, submit one URB with a buffer inside the
mapping, wait for the device to be unplugged, then munmap() and close().
It reproduces on every attempt rather than being a race, because a live
MAP_SHARED vma holds a reference on the struct file, so usbdev_release()
cannot run until the last vma is gone and the freeing branch of
dec_usb_memory_use_count() is always taken.

nfc: st21nfca: validate ATR_REQ length against the received frame
st21nfca_tm_recv_atr_req() checks that the received ATR_REQ frame is at
least ST21NFCA_ATR_REQ_MIN_SIZE and that the self-declared atr_req->length
is at least sizeof(struct st21nfca_atr_req), but never checks that
atr_req->length does not exceed the actual received length (skb->len).
st21nfca_tm_send_atr_res() then trusts the declared length:
gb_len = atr_req->length - sizeof(struct st21nfca_atr_req);
...
memcpy(atr_res->gbi, atr_req->gbi, gb_len);
so an RF peer that sends a short frame but sets atr_req->length larger
than the frame makes gb_len exceed the general bytes actually present,
and the memcpy reads out of bounds past the received skb. Those bytes are
placed in the ATR_RES and sent back to the peer (kernel-memory disclosure
to a proximity attacker); a larger declared length is an out-of-bounds
read (DoS).
Reject frames whose declared length exceeds the received length. The
adjacent nfc_tm_activated() path in the same function already derives its
general-bytes length from skb->len rather than the declared field.
Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis; the
missing bound is evident from source. Compile-tested.

nvmet: pci-epf: put CQ ref on create_cq mapping failure
nvmet_pci_epf_create_cq() calls nvmet_cq_create(), which takes a
reference on the controller and installs the completion queue. If the
subsequent PCI address-space mapping fails or returns a too-small partial
mapping, the function jumps to err_internal / err_unmap_queue without
calling nvmet_cq_put(). The matching put in nvmet_pci_epf_delete_cq() is
gated on NVMET_PCI_EPF_Q_LIVE, which is only set after the mapping
succeeds, so teardown never releases these references. A remote PCI host
that drives Create IO CQ commands with a failing PRP1/pci_addr therefore
leaks the CQ and a controller reference on each attempt.
Drop the CQ reference on the mapping-failure paths. The err_internal and
err_unmap_queue labels are only reachable after nvmet_cq_create() has
succeeded, so this pairs the create/put correctly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: take rfcomm_mutex for the deferred setup accept
rfcomm_sock_recvmsg() completes a deferred setup by calling
rfcomm_dlc_accept() without holding any RFCOMM lock:
if (test_and_clear_bit(RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP, &d->flags)) {
rfcomm_dlc_accept(d);
return 0;
}
and rfcomm_dlc_accept() dereferences the session on its first line:
struct sock *sk = d->session->sock->sk;
Every other path that touches d->session runs under rfcomm_mutex:
rfcomm_dlc_open(), rfcomm_dlc_close(), rfcomm_dlc_exists(),
rfcomm_dlc_send_rpn(), and the RFCOMM thread through
rfcomm_process_sessions(). rfcomm_connect_ind() is even documented as
"called under rfcomm_lock()". This call site is the only one that skips
it.
The RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP bit looks like it serialises the accept against
teardown, since __rfcomm_dlc_close() returns early when it wins the
test_and_clear. But rfcomm_recv_disc() forces the state first:
d->state = BT_CLOSED;
__rfcomm_dlc_close(d, err);
and the early return only covers BT_CONNECT, BT_CONFIG, BT_OPEN and
BT_CONNECT2. With the state already BT_CLOSED that switch does not
match, the bit is never consulted, and __rfcomm_dlc_close() falls
through to rfcomm_dlc_unlink(), which sets d->session = NULL.
So a remote DISC on a deferred dlc clears the session while leaving
RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP set. The next recvmsg() then passes the
test_and_clear and dereferences a NULL session. No timing window is
needed: once the DISC has been processed, the dereference is
unconditional.
Give rfcomm_dlc_accept() the same shape as rfcomm_dlc_open() and
rfcomm_dlc_close(): an exported wrapper that takes rfcomm_mutex and
re-checks the session, around a __rfcomm_dlc_accept() that the two
in-core callers, which already hold the mutex, keep using.
Reproduced on a KASAN + PROVE_LOCKING kernel with a BR/EDR peer emulated
over /dev/vhci: the peer brings up an ACL link, opens L2CAP on the
RFCOMM PSM, starts a session, opens a dlc on a channel bound with
BT_DEFER_SETUP, and sends DISC after the socket is accepted. recv() on
the accepted socket then hits:

inserts it into the interval tree under iova_rwsem, with area->pages
still NULL. It then drops iova_rwsem and later fills area->pages
under domains_rwsem. This leaves a window between area creation and
area->pages fill where a concurrent iommufd_ioas_change_process()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: FCP: Use a private URB for the notification endpoint
fcp_init_notify() used mixer->urb, which snd_usb_mixer_status_create()
allocates for the optional UAC2 status interrupt endpoint and mixer.c
kills, resubmits and frees. On a device with that endpoint,
fcp_init_notify()'s "already set up" early return fires on the status
URB and returns success without doing anything. No FCP notification
URB is submitted, and cmd_done is left zeroed because it is
initialised past that early return and nowhere else. fcp_init() then
issues init1_opcode and wait_for_completion_timeout() would crash
adding to the zeroed wait.head. fcp_cleanup_urb() would also kill and
free mixer.c's status URB.
Use a separate URB in fcp_data, and initialise cmd_done in
fcp_init_private() where fcp_data is allocated. fcp_init_notify() is
reached again after suspend via fcp_reinit(), and the URB kill path in
fcp_notify() completes cmd_done, leaving a stale count that would
satisfy the next command's wait before the device ACKs. Use
reinit_completion() to clear it.

ALSA: scarlett2: Use a private URB for the notification endpoint
scarlett2_init_notify() used mixer->urb, which
snd_usb_mixer_status_create() allocates for the UAC2 status interrupt
endpoint and mixer.c manages. On a device with that endpoint, the
"already in use" check fires on the status URB and returns 0 for
success without doing anything. No notification URB is submitted, and
cmd_done is left zeroed because it is initialised past that check and
nowhere else. scarlett2_usb_init() then issues SCARLETT2_USB_INIT_1
and wait_for_completion_timeout() would crash adding to the zeroed
wait.head.
Use a separate URB in scarlett2_data, as done for FCP, and initialise
cmd_done in scarlett2_init_private(). mixer.c was also freeing the URB
in snd_usb_mixer_free() and resubmitting it in
snd_usb_mixer_activate(), so scarlett2 must now do both: add
scarlett2_cleanup_urb(), called from private_free and private_suspend,
and a private_resume callback to re-establish the URB after resume.
scarlett2_init_notify() is reached from there, and the URB kill path
in scarlett2_notify() completes cmd_done, leaving a stale count that
would satisfy the next command's wait before the device ACKs. Use
reinit_completion() to clear it.
Also free the URB if the transfer buffer allocation fails, and both if
usb_submit_urb() fails. Move scarlett2_init_notify() up next to
scarlett2_cleanup_urb() so scarlett2_init_private() can reference it
without a forward declaration.

nvmet: fix NULL pointer dereference in nvmet_execute_identify_nslist()
When a host issues an Identify command with CNS 07h (Active Namespace ID
List for a specific I/O Command Set), nvmet_execute_identify_nslist() is
called with match_css set. The command-set filter dereferences req->ns,
but this handler never calls nvmet_req_find_ns(), so req->ns is always
NULL (nvmet_req_init() resets it to NULL). As soon as an enabled
namespace with an NSID greater than the requested value exists,
req->ns->csi dereferences a NULL pointer and oopses.
Besides the crash, the comparison is logically wrong: to filter the list
by command set it must test the command set of the namespace being
iterated, not a single fixed value. Use the loop variable ns->csi.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/cmd: fix iovec leak when the async cmd is not recycled
An io_async_cmd carries an iovec array in ->vec.iovec, allocated when the
vec has to grow and kept across recycling through ctx->cmd_cache. On two
paths nothing frees it and io_clean_op()'s kfree(req->async_data) drops
the io_async_cmd without it.
io_req_uring_cleanup() clears the async data flags only when
io_alloc_cache_put() succeeds, and the cache holds IO_ALLOC_CACHE_MAX ==
128 entries, so once it is full the put fails and the vec is left behind.
An NVMe passthrough workload gets there without doing anything unusual:
nvme_uring_cmd_io() returns -EIOCBQUEUED, so the io_async_cmd stays
attached for the lifetime of the command and the live object count tracks
the queue depth. Above 128 the puts start failing.
->cleanup is the last chance to free an inherited vec, since
io_req_uring_cleanup() returns early for an io-wq issued command and is
not called at all for one completed without ever being issued. But
io_clean_op() calls ->cleanup only if REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP is set, and for
uring_cmd that happens only where the vec has to grow, so a command
reusing a large enough cached vec never sets it. io_rw_alloc_async() and
io_msg_alloc_async() flag an inherited vec for exactly this reason;
io_uring_cmd_prep() does not.
Flag an inherited vec in io_uring_cmd_prep(), and free the vec when the
cache put fails, as io_req_rw_cleanup() does.
The leak is invisible under KASAN, where io_alloc_cache_vec_kasan() frees
the vec unconditionally.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/rsrc: fix folio size overflow in io_vec_fill_bvec()
io_vec_fill_bvec() computes the folio size with a plain int 1:
unsigned long folio_size = 1 << imu->folio_shift;
imu->folio_shift is unsigned int and comes from folio_shift() of the
folio backing the registered buffer, so it can be 32 or more on a 64 bit
kernel. Shifting int 1 that far is undefined, and on x86 and arm64 the
count is taken modulo 32, so a shift of 34 yields 4 rather than 16G.
Every other folio_shift shift in this file already uses 1UL.
The result is that the segment estimate and the fill loop disagree.
io_estimate_bvec_size() sizes the bvec array with the real shift:
max_segs += (iov[i].iov_len >> shift) + 2;
so a 1M iovec on a 16G folio is charged 2 segments, while
io_vec_fill_bvec() then walks the same iovec in folio_size chunks of 4
bytes and writes res_bvec[bvec_idx] a quarter of a million times, past
the end of the array it was given. src_bvec is advanced once per
iteration as well, so imu->bvec is read past its end at the same time.
validate_fixed_range() only checks that the range is inside the
registered buffer and does not bound the segment count.
Reaching it needs a folio with a shift of at least 32, which means a
gigantic hugetlb page: 16G on arm64 with 64K pages, where
CONT_PMD_SHIFT is 34 and hugetlb_add_hstate(CONT_PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT)
registers that size, and likewise on powerpc. x86_64 tops out at 1G, so
a shift of 30, which still fits in int and is unaffected.
Use 1UL, as the rest of the file does.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix missing metadata reservation for large xattrs
[BUG]
lsetxattr() panics the kernel when setting a large xattr value on a
fragmented filesystem where the file already has an external xattr
block.
[CAUSE]
ocfs2_calc_xattr_set_need() never reserves metadata blocks for a new
xattr value's extent tree when the file already has an external xattr
block. The not_found path leaves meta_add at zero, so meta_ac is NULL
when ocfs2_xattr_extend_allocation() runs.
A new value root has room for a single extent record. On a fragmented
filesystem, the allocator cannot satisfy the xattr value in one
contiguous run, so each non-contiguous run requires its own extent
record. When the value root's extent list is full and meta_ac is NULL,
ocfs2_add_clusters_in_btree() returns RESTART_META, and
ocfs2_xattr_extend_allocation() hits BUG_ON(why == RESTART_META).
[FIX]
The case where no xattr block exists yet already calls
ocfs2_extend_meta_needed(&def_xv.xv.xr_list) to reserve value tree
metadata. Add the same reservation to the case where an xattr block
already exists, making the two cases consistent.
Replace the BUG_ON with a -ENOSPC return so that if RESTART_META is
returned despite the reservation, the error propagates to userspace
instead of panicking the kernel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: stop retrying saturated xattr cache entries
ext4_xattr_block_set() retries when a cache entry selected for reuse
has a saturated reference count after taking the buffer lock. The retry
returns to the mbcache lookup without making that entry ineligible, so
it can select the same unusable entry indefinitely. A task spinning
there can hold the parent directory's i_rwsem and leave concurrent
rmdir callers blocked.
Normally a reusable entry has a reference count below
EXT4_XATTR_REFCOUNT_MAX because the count and MBE_REUSABLE_B are
updated under the same buffer lock. A corrupted filesystem can violate
that invariant. The syzbot reproducer reports allocator and xattr
corruption before triggering this retry loop.
Check the untrusted on-disk count before incrementing it, avoiding
overflow, and clear MBE_REUSABLE_B when it is already saturated. The
next lookup then skips the entry that was just proven unusable. This
mirrors the normal transition at EXT4_XATTR_REFCOUNT_MAX; the release
path marks the entry reusable again on the exact 1024-to-1023
transition.
Using the same QEMU harness and guest parameters, current unpatched
Linux hung in 6 of 8 420-second trials with the do_rmdir signature;
representative NMI backtraces caught the owner spinning in
ext4_xattr_block_set(). The patched kernel completed 28 of 28 trials
without a hung-task report; the final twelve trials exercised the
reviewed overflow-safe form of the change. syzbot's patch testing also
completed without reproducing the hang.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: reject invalid block index in GC ioctl
Syzbot reported list corruption caused by a double list_add_tail() call on
bh->b_assoc_buffers within nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers().
Analysis revealed that the root cause was the insertion of a page/folio
with a page index of ULONG_MAX into the page cache via the GC ioctl.
filemap_get_folios_tag(), called by nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(),
repeatedly detects a dirty folio with a page index of ULONG_MAX due to
index wrap-around, leading to duplicate processing of dirty buffers.
As a preparatory step, the GC ioctl loads the page/folio of the block to
be moved during GC and inserts it into the page cache based on information
in the nilfs_vdesc structure passed as an argument. Normally, this does
not cause issues because the user-space GC library configures the
nilfs_vdesc structure properly. However, since there is no range check on
the parameters determining the page index, a request with artificially
crafted parameters -- such as those generated by Syzbot -- can result in a
page/folio being inserted with a page index of ULONG_MAX, triggering the
above problem.
This resolves the issue by checking the ranges of 'vd_offset' and
'vd_vblocknr' in the nilfs_vdesc structure that determine the page index,
thereby preventing the invalid page/folio insertions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't enable DAX on new encrypted files
Currently, when a new encrypted regular file is created, the call to
ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=true) in __ext4_new_inode() is made
before EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT is set. As a result, it can set S_DAX if the
filesystem is mounted with "-o dax=always".
EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT then actually gets set a bit later in
__ext4_new_inode(), when it calls fscrypt_set_context() which calls
ext4_set_context(). ext4_set_context() sets EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT and
calls ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=false) to set S_ENCRYPTED too.
This was intended to clear S_DAX as well. However, this was broken by
commit 043546e46dc7 ("fs/ext4: Only change S_DAX on inode load"). This
causes data written to the file to bypass encryption, also causing
xfstests failures such as generic/548 (when "-o dax=always" is used).
Fix this by simplifying the flow by making __ext4_new_inode() set
EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT earlier. This makes it take effect in
ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=true), making S_DAX never be set.
Similarly, make EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA never be set in the first
place on new encrypted inodes. Then it doesn't need to be cleared.
As a result of these simplifications, ext4_set_context() no longer needs
to change inode flags or state when 'handle != NULL'. Remove that too.

counterfeit or malfunctioning controller (or an i2c bus interposer) can
drive it far past the buffer for a stack out-of-bounds write that
clobbers the canary and return address, or below the minimum frame size
(directly, or by truncating the computed sum) so the header/LRC strip
and the next length read run past a short receive. Reject a length
outside [FDP_NCI_I2C_MIN_PAYLOAD, FDP_NCI_I2C_MAX_PAYLOAD], as a
corrupted packet already is, and force resynchronization.
The same loop allocates one data skb per iteration and assumes a length
packet followed by a data packet; a device that sends two data packets
in one call leaks the first skb when the second allocation overwrites
it. Free a previously allocated skb before allocating the next.

nfc: llcp: bound the connect_sn TLV walk to the skb
Commit 27256cdb290e ("nfc: llcp: bound SNL TLV parsing to the skb and
add length checks") fixed the unbounded TLV walk in nfc_llcp_recv_snl(),
and commit d8bd2dedbde5 ("nfc: llcp: fix OOB read and u8 offset wrap in
TLV parsers") subsequently bounded nfc_llcp_parse_gb_tlv() and
nfc_llcp_parse_connection_tlv(). One sibling parser sharing the same
pattern remains unbounded: nfc_llcp_connect_sn().
nfc_llcp_connect_sn() walks a TLV list, reading a two-byte header
(type, length) followed by length bytes of value, without checking that
the two header bytes or the declared length stay within the buffer. It
returns a pointer to a service name of up to 255 bytes that may point
past the end of the skb; it is subsequently consumed by memcmp() in
nfc_llcp_sock_from_sn(). In addition tlv_array_len was computed as
"skb->len - LLCP_HEADER_SIZE" in size_t, so a CONNECT/CC frame shorter
than the LLCP header underflows to a huge length and the walk runs far
past the buffer.
nfc_llcp_connect_sn() is reachable from nfc_llcp_recv_connect() and
nfc_llcp_recv_cc(), i.e. from received CONNECT and CC PDUs. A nearby
NFC device can reach this without authentication; LLCP link activation
happens automatically after NFC-DEP, and the nfc_llcp_rx_skb()
dispatcher applies no minimum-length guard.
Walk the TLV list by pointer, bounded by skb_tail_pointer(skb), and
validate each declared length before use, matching the approach already
used for nfc_llcp_recv_snl(). Starting the walk at
&skb->data[LLCP_HEADER_SIZE] against the tail pointer also removes the
size_t underflow for short frames.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: fix OOB read and u8 offset wrap in TLV parsers
nfc_llcp_parse_gb_tlv() and nfc_llcp_parse_connection_tlv() contain
three related bugs in their TLV parsing loops:
1. 'offset' is declared u8 but tlv_array_len is u16. When TLV data
advances offset past 255 it silently wraps to zero, causing
infinite loops or double-processing of buffer data.
2. Before reading tlv[0] (type) and tlv[1] (length) there is no
check that offset+2 <= tlv_array_len. A truncated TLV causes
an OOB read of one byte past the buffer end.
3. After reading the length field, the value bytes are accessed
without checking offset+2+length <= tlv_array_len. A crafted
length=0xFF on a short buffer causes up to 255 bytes of OOB
read past the buffer end.
Both functions are reachable without authentication via
nfc_llcp_set_remote_gb() which feeds remote LLCP general bytes
directly into nfc_llcp_parse_gb_tlv() with no additional
validation.
Fix all three issues by widening offset from u8 to u16 and adding
bounds checks for both the TLV header and value field before each
access.

tlv_array_len = skb->len - LLCP_HEADER_SIZE;
as a size_t and hands it to the TLV walk. When the frame is shorter than
the header the subtraction wraps to a huge value and the walk runs far

activation happens automatically after NFC-DEP.

target (nfc_llcp_data_received()) and initiator (nfc_llcp_recv()) paths, so
a short skb is dropped before the rx_work worker parses it. Use
pskb_may_pull() rather than a skb->len test so the two header bytes are
guaranteed to sit in the skb linear area even for a non-linear skb,
matching how the sibling NCI and HCI receive paths validate their headers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: pn533: purge fragmented skbs during cleanup
pn53x_common_clean() purges resp_q before freeing the common PN533 state,
but it leaves fragment_skb untouched. The fragmentation helpers queue
transmit fragments there while sending large initiator or target-mode
frames, and those skbs remain owned by the driver until they are sent or
discarded.
If the device is removed while fragments are still queued, the common
cleanup path frees the PN533 state without releasing the queued fragment
skbs, leaking them.
Purge fragment_skb during cleanup alongside resp_q.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: add data_len bound checks to activation parameter extractors
nci_extract_activation_params_iso_dep() and
nci_extract_activation_params_nfc_dep() read an inner length byte from
the NCI RF_INTF_ACTIVATED_NTF payload and use it to memcpy() into fixed
kernel buffers, but neither function receives the caller-validated
activation_params_len. A crafted NCI notification with
activation_params_len=1 and an inner length byte of up to 20 (NFC-A) or
50 (NFC-B) causes memcpy() to read that many bytes past the one valid
byte in the activation params region -- a slab out-of-bounds read of
kernel memory adjacent to the NCI skb.
The sibling nci_extract_rf_params_*() family was given equivalent
protection by commit 571dcbeb8e63 ("net: nfc: nci: Fix parameter
validation for packet data"), but the two activation parameter
extractors were not updated at that time.
Add a data_len parameter to both functions, guard against an empty
region before consuming the inner length byte, decrement the remaining
count after consuming it, and clamp the copy length to what is actually
available. Update both call sites to pass ntf.activation_params_len,
which is already validated against the skb at ntf.c:801.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: fix out-of-bounds write in nci_target_auto_activated()
nci_target_auto_activated() appends a target to the fixed-size array
ndev->targets[NCI_MAX_DISCOVERED_TARGETS] and increments ndev->n_targets
without first checking the array is full; unlike its sibling
nci_add_new_target(), which bails out when n_targets already equals
NCI_MAX_DISCOVERED_TARGETS.
ndev->n_targets is only cleared by nci_clear_target_list(), so an NFCC
that repeatedly re-runs discovery (RF_DISCOVER_RSP, which re-enters
NCI_DISCOVERY without clearing the target list) and reports an
auto-activated target (RF_INTF_ACTIVATED_NTF) drives n_targets past the
limit. The append then writes a struct nfc_target past the end of the
array (a slab out-of-bounds write), and nfc_targets_found() goes on to
walk the array with the inflated count:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: fix uninit-value in the RF discover/activated NTF handlers
nci_rf_discover_ntf_packet() and nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf_packet() each
parse a notification into an on-stack struct (nci_rf_discover_ntf /
nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf) that is not initialised. The RF
technology-specific parameters are only extracted when
rf_tech_specific_params_len is non-zero, so a notification that reports a
zero length leaves the rf_tech_specific_params union uninitialised - and
both handlers then pass it to nci_add_new_protocol(), which reads it:
- discover: nci_add_new_target() -> nci_add_new_protocol();
- activated: nci_target_auto_activated() -> nci_add_new_protocol().
nci_add_new_protocol() uses nfca_poll->nfcid1_len as both a branch
condition and a memcpy() length and copies nfcid1/sens_res/sel_res into
ndev->targets, which is later exposed to user space via NFC_CMD_GET_TARGET.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: reject undersized MTUs in ip_do_fragment()
ip_do_fragment() subtracts the IPv4 header length from the effective
MTU and passes the resulting payload MTU to ip_frag_next().
If the effective MTU is smaller than hlen + 8, ip_frag_next() rounds
the fragment payload length down to zero. The fragmentation state then
never makes forward progress: state->left, state->ptr and state->offset
stay unchanged while ip_do_fragment() keeps allocating and transmitting
header-only fragments until the softlockup detector fires.
This is reproducible with a route installed using "mtu lock 20", but it
is also reproducible without route MTU lock, for example by forwarding a
packet to a device whose MTU is 20.
Fix it in ip_do_fragment() by rejecting mtu < hlen + 8 with -EMSGSIZE,
matching the existing IPv6 fragmentation check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix use-after-free in ip6_finish_output2()
ip6_finish_output2() caches a pointer to the IPv6 destination
address (daddr) before invoking lwtunnel_xmit(). The LWT-BPF
transmit path or other encapsulation operations within
lwtunnel_xmit() can reallocate the skb head, freeing the memory
that daddr points to. When lwtunnel_xmit() returns
LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE, the function continues to use the stale
daddr pointer to compute the nexthop and to look up or create the
neighbour entry. This results in a use-after-free read, which can
leak sensitive kernel data, pollute the neighbour table with
arbitrary values, misdirect traffic, or crash the system.
Fix this by re-fetching the IPv6 header and the destination
address pointer after lwtunnel_xmit() returns
LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE, ensuring that the subsequent nexthop
computation and neighbour lookup operate on valid memory.

nvmet-auth: zero the AUTH_RECEIVE response buffer
nvmet_execute_auth_receive() allocates the response buffer with kmalloc()
sized by the host-supplied AUTH_RECEIVE allocation length, but the
DH-HMAC-CHAP builders write only a fixed-size message into it. The full
allocation length is then copied to the wire by nvmet_copy_to_sgl(), so a
remote initiator receives the bytes past the built message -- up to nearly
a page of uninitialized slab -- during the pre-authentication handshake.
Allocate the buffer with kzalloc() so the unwritten tail is zeroed before
it is sent; conforming responses are unaffected.

nvmet-fc: fix invalid free in LS IOD error path
nvmet_fc_alloc_ls_iodlist() advances iod while initializing the LS IOD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: bound SGL data length before allocating command buffers
nvmet_tcp_map_data() reads the host-controlled 32-bit sgl->length
and, for the in-capsule offset descriptor (type 0x01), checks it
against port->inline_data_size before use. Any other SGL descriptor
type -- including the non-inline transport SGL data-block descriptor
(type (NVME_TRANSPORT_SGL_DATA_DESC << 4) | NVME_SGL_FMT_TRANSPORT_A,
the type a real host uses for out-of-capsule writes) skips that check
entirely and falls straight through to:
cmd->req.sg = sgl_alloc(len, GFP_KERNEL, &cmd->req.sg_cnt);
with len taken directly from the wire, unbounded up to 4 GiB.
nvmet_req_init() only parses the command and never inspects
sgl->length, and nvmet_check_transfer_len() -- the only other place
transfer_len is validated -- runs later, from req->execute(), after
the allocation has already happened. For a write command the target
responds with an R2T and parks the command waiting for the host to
send the data; if the host (or an unauthenticated peer that simply
never follows up) never does, the sgl_alloc() buffer stays resident
for the life of the command. NVMe/TCP has no mandatory authentication
in the default configuration, so any peer able to reach the target
portal and complete a Fabrics connect can drive this with a single
crafted command, repeatable across queues and connections for
amplification. This is unbounded kernel memory allocation
triggered by a remote, effectively unauthenticated peer.
Validate len against the same NVMET_TCP_MAXH2CDATA ceiling this file
already uses to bound per-PDU H2C data, for every SGL descriptor type,
before doing any allocation. This closes the gap for the non-inline
descriptor while leaving the existing, tighter inline_data_size check
in place for the in-capsule case.
Runtime-verified on a v6.19 KASAN stand: with this bound in place, a
crafted write command carrying an oversized non-inline SGL length is
rejected before sgl_alloc() runs, where the same request previously
drove an unbounded ~256 MiB kernel allocation (up to 4 GiB) that
stayed resident pending an R2T the host never satisfies.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: Do not WARN on remotely-controlled oversized SGL allocations
When fuzzing the nvme target code, I tripped a kernel warning in
nvmet_tcp_map_data() because the length passed into the allocator is
controlled by the remote initiator.
A remote initiator that sends a command with an SGL claiming a huge
number, can create a scatterlist and iovec allocation of over 1 million
entries, which causes the backing kmalloc call to exceed MAX_PAGE_ORDER
and then the page allocator will trip on a WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP() message:
WARNING: mm/page_alloc.c:5280 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof
Workqueue: nvmet_tcp_wq nvmet_tcp_io_work

sgl_alloc_order

nvmet_tcp_try_recv_pdu
As it's never good to trip a kernel warning remotely due to many systems
having panic-on-warn enabled, let's silence it by just add GFP_NOWARN to
the allocation flags.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: pci-epf: fix use-after-free in nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work()
nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work() submits an I/O command with req->execute()
and then waits for the command to complete and transfers the data back
to the host. This wait is not needed for commands that do not transfer
data from the device to the host. To decide whether that wait is needed,
it reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir after calling req->execute().
However, once req->execute() is called, the command may complete
asynchronously on another CPU. For commands that do not require a
device-to-host data transfer, nvmet_pci_epf_queue_response() calls
nvmet_pci_epf_complete_iod() directly, which can free the iod before it
reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir, resulting in the KFENCE use-after-

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: magicmouse: prevent unbounded recursion in magicmouse_raw_event()
magicmouse_raw_event() handles DOUBLE_REPORT_ID (0xf7) packets, which pack
two touch reports into one, by splitting the packet and calling itself on
each half. The only guard against runaway recursion is a "size < 1" check,
which stops zero-sized calls but does not bound the recursion depth.
A malicious HID device that matches this driver can send a report starting
with DOUBLE_REPORT_ID and filled with the sequence [0xf7, 0x00]. Each level
consumes two bytes and recurses on the remainder, so an incoming report of
up to HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16 KiB) drives roughly 8000 nested calls. That
easily exhausts the 16 KiB kernel stack, leading to a stack overflow: a
panic with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, or memory corruption without it.
A double report only ever wraps two normal reports; it is never
legitimately nested. Refuse to re-enter the DOUBLE_REPORT_ID case from a
recursive call so the recursion depth is bounded to two, while all valid
packets keep being parsed exactly as before.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: magicmouse: do not keep a stale msc->input if no input is claimed
magicmouse_input_mapping() caches the first hid_input's input_dev in
msc->input while the report descriptor is parsed, and the rest of the
driver treats a non-NULL msc->input as proof that an input device was
registered.
That does not hold on the hid-input error path. If hidinput_connect()
fails -- for instance because input_register_device() returns an error --
it unwinds through hidinput_disconnect(), which frees every input_dev it
created, including the one cached in msc->input.
The failure does not abort the probe. hid_connect() only skips the claim:
if ((connect_mask & HID_CONNECT_HIDINPUT) && !hidinput_connect(hdev,
connect_mask & HID_CONNECT_HIDINPUT_FORCE))
hdev->claimed |= HID_CLAIMED_INPUT;
and the "device has no listeners" bailout below it does not fire for this
driver, which sets ->raw_event; on the USB Magic Mouse 2 / Magic Trackpad
2 paths hidraw and hiddev are claimed as well. hid_hw_start() therefore
returns 0 and magicmouse_probe() continues with msc->input pointing at
freed memory. Being non-NULL, it passes the "input not registered" check
in probe and the NULL checks in ->raw_event and ->event, so the next
input report dereferences freed memory.
Clear msc->input when the HID core did not claim an input device, so the
existing NULL checks cover this case as well.
