In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
esp: do not unref managed frag pages in esp_ssg_unref()
esp_ssg_unref() releases the page references held on the source
scatterlist after the AEAD operation completes. It calls
skb_page_unref() on every frag page for an out-of-place transform
(req->src != req->dst), and in the error path of esp_output_tail()
(already_unref == true) on the request's own scatterlist.
This is wrong when the skb carries managed frags
(SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS). Managed frags are owned by a zerocopy ubuf
and the skb does not hold a per-frag page reference; io_uring SEND_ZC
with a registered buffer attaches the bvec pages this way via
io_sg_from_iter(). The rest of the stack honours this invariant:
skb_release_data() skips the per-frag unref when SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS
is set, and skb_zcopy_managed() is the guard used at the other unref
sites.
esp_ssg_unref() is missing that guard, so for a managed-frag skb it
drops a page reference the skb never acquired. This can underflow the
page reference count and free a page that is still in use.
Guard the function with skb_zcopy_managed() so both unref paths are
skipped for managed-frag skbs, matching skb_release_data().

RDMA/rvt: Return NULL after port allocation failure
rvt_alloc_device() deallocates the IB device when its port array cannot
be allocated but then returns the pointer to the released allocation.
Callers treat any non-NULL value as valid and dereference it, resulting
in a use-after-free.

media: v4l2-async: Unregister sub-device if asc_list is empty
When my em28xx USB device that uses the i2c tvp5150 driver is

The cause is that the tvp5150 i2c module uses v4l2_async, but

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/resctrl: Prevent use-after-free in rdtgroup_kn_put()
A struct rdtgroup is reference counted via rdtgroup::waitcount. Callers that
need the structure to remain valid across a sleep (while waiting on acquiring
rdtgroup_mutex) take a reference with rdtgroup_kn_get() and release it with
rdtgroup_kn_put().
The release path is intended to serve as the fallback freer: if the count
drops to zero and the group has already been marked RDT_DELETED,
rdtgroup_kn_put() frees the structure.
The bulk teardown paths free_all_child_rdtgrp() and rmdir_all_sub() resulting
from a resctrl directory remove or resctrl fs unmount act as the primary
freer: they hold rdtgroup_mutex and free each rdtgroup whose waitcount is
zero, otherwise they set RDT_DELETED and leave the freeing to the last waiter.
These two freers race. rdtgroup_kn_put() commits waitcount == 0 with
atomic_dec_and_test() outside rdtgroup_mutex, then reads rdtgroup::flags.
Between those two operations a concurrent caller of free_all_child_rdtgrp()
or rmdir_all_sub() (which holds the mutex) can observe waitcount == 0 via
atomic_read(), call rdtgroup_remove(), and kfree() the structure.
The subsequent read of rdtgroup::flags in rdtgroup_kn_put() is then
a use-after-free, and the structure may even be freed twice if the freed
memory happens to satisfy the RDT_DELETED flag check.
Replace the bare atomic_dec_and_test() with atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock() so
that the decrement-to-zero takes rdtgroup_mutex before the count becomes
globally visible. The inspection of rdtgroup::flags then runs under the same
mutex held by the bulk freers, making the two paths mutually exclusive.
The common case where the count does not reach zero remains lock-free. Defer
kernfs_unbreak_active_protection() until after the mutex is dropped since
kernfs active protections functionally wrap rdtgroup_mutex. Remove resource
group, which in turn drops its kernfs reference, after kernfs protection is
restored.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/resctrl: Fix UAF from worker threads when domains are removed
The mbm_handle_overflow() and cqm_handle_limbo() workers read event counters
and may sleep while doing so. They are scheduled via delayed_work embedded in
struct rdt_l3_mon_domain. Architecture allocates and frees these domains from
CPU hotplug callbacks under cpus_write_lock(), and the workers acquire
cpus_read_lock() to keep the domain alive across their access.
A use-after-free can occur when a worker is blocked waiting for
cpus_read_lock() while the hotplug core holds cpus_write_lock(): the
architecture frees the rdt_l3_mon_domain that contains the worker's
work_struct. When the worker unblocks, the container_of() it performs on the
embedded work pointer dereferences freed memory.
Drop cpus_read_lock() from the workers and instead drain pending and in-flight
work synchronously before the architecture can free the domain. Since
architecture offlines the domain under cpus_write_lock() after it has been
unlinked from the RCU list and a grace period has elapsed, no new work can be
scheduled. The cancel only needs to wait out existing work. Drop
rdtgroup_mutex during CPU offline around cancel_delayed_work_sync() so that
a worker waiting on the mutex can complete before re-pinning the work on
a different CPU.
When offlining a CPU the architecture may iterate over resources in any order.
For example, the MBA control domain may be offlined before or after
a corresponding L3 monitor domain. Ensure that resctrl fs cancels the workers
no matter what order the architecture offlines the domains.

rpmsg: glink: fix deadlock in endpoint destroy during driver detach
During driver detach, the device core holds the device mutex throughout
the driver's remove callback chain. When the rpmsg endpoint is
destroyed as part of that teardown, the GLINK endpoint destroy
implementation attempts to unregister the underlying rpmsg device.
That unregistration calls device_del(), which tries to re-acquire the
same device mutex already held higher up the stack, causing rmmod to
hang indefinitely.
The deadlock manifests with the following call chain:

In both contexts where endpoint destruction is triggered:
- Driver detach path: the driver core already tears down the rpmsg
device.
- Channel close path: the rpmsg device is already unregistered before
endpoint destruction is reached.

cxl/features: Serialize multi-part Get/Set Feature transfers
A Get or Set Feature payload larger than the mailbox payload size is
split into several mailbox commands. mbox_mutex only serializes
individual mailbox commands and is dropped between iterations of these

cxl_get_feature() and cxl_set_feature() are reachable concurrently
from fwctl (per-fd RPCs run under a read-held registration lock) and
from the EDAC scrub/ECS/repair paths, so two transfers to the same
mailbox can interleave their parts and corrupt the device's transfer
context.
Add a per-mailbox feat_mutex and hold it across the whole transfer in
both functions. It nests outside mbox_mutex (which is taken inside
cxl_internal_send_cmd()), and is taken nowhere else, so no lock-ordering
inversion is introduced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfsplus: validate thread record before delete key rebuild
hfsplus_delete_cat() is called with str == NULL when the last open
reference to an unlinked HFS+ hardlink backing inode is closed. In that
case, the function finds the catalog thread by CNID and rebuilds the
catalog key from thread.nodeName.
That reconstruction path reads thread.nodeName.length directly from the
catalog B-tree into fd.search_key and then copies length * 2 bytes into
fd.search_key->cat.name.unicode. It does not first check that the found
record is a thread record or that its size matches the thread name.
A corrupted image can therefore provide an oversized thread name length
and make hfs_bnode_read() write past the catalog search-key allocation.
Read the CNID record through hfsplus_brec_read_cat(), which bounds the
record read to sizeof(hfsplus_cat_entry) and verifies that a thread
record's size exactly matches nodeName.length. Together, these checks
ensure an accepted thread name fits HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN. Reject non-thread
records before building the delete key from the validated thread name.
Share the thread-record-type helper between hfsplus_find_cat() and
hfsplus_delete_cat().

wifi: ath12k: fix dp_link_peer dangling references on AP vdev rollback
ath12k_mac_vdev_create() for an AP vdev creates the bss self-peer via
ath12k_peer_create(), which finishes by calling
ath12k_dp_link_peer_assign() to publish the dp_link_peer in the
dp_hw->dp_peers[peerid_index] RCU table, in the dp_peer's
link_peers[] array, and in the per-addr rhashtable.
If a step after ath12k_peer_create() fails the function jumps to
err_peer_del, which open-codes a WMI peer_delete and waits for the
unmap / delete_resp events. The wait_for_peer_delete_done() path
relies on ath12k_dp_link_peer_unmap_event() freeing the dp_link_peer
when the unmap arrives, but err_peer_del never calls
ath12k_dp_link_peer_unassign() first. The published references in
the dp_hw RCU table, dp_peer->link_peers[] and the rhashtable are
left pointing at the dp_link_peer that unmap_event then frees,
producing dangling pointers and use-after-free on subsequent
lookups.
Replace the open-coded sequence with a call to ath12k_peer_delete(),
which already does ath12k_dp_link_peer_unassign() before sending the
WMI command. This drops the published references before the
dp_link_peer is freed, in the same order as the normal teardown path
in ath12k_mac_remove_link_interface().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Publish channel state before callbacks
Transport setup can enable callbacks before the setup routine returns.
mailbox_chan_setup() registers the mailbox client with
mbox_request_channel(), and the mailbox controller startup path can enable
interrupt delivery before SCMI mailbox channel state has been published.
Similarly, smc_chan_setup() requests the optional A2P completion IRQ before
the SMC transport has made its cinfo pointer visible.
If a pending or spurious callback fires in those windows, the transport RX
callback can dereference a NULL transport cinfo pointer. Publishing only
the transport-private pointer is not sufficient either: an early callback
can enter the SCMI core before scmi_chan_setup() has assigned
cinfo->handle.
The core derives scmi_info from cinfo->handle in the RX path, so a NULL
handle can still fault even when the transport-private cinfo is valid.
Assign cinfo->handle before invoking the transport setup callback. Publish
the mailbox and SMC transport-private channel state before requesting the
mailbox channels or IRQ, and clear the early-published pointers again on
setup failure. Also unwind mailbox setup devres resources on failure so an
optional RX setup error that is ignored by the core does not leave stale
transport state behind.

firmware: arm_scmi: Quiesce notifications before teardown
scmi_notification_exit() clears and releases the notification instance,

the TX/RX channels are freed. During remove, an RX interrupt in that
window can enter scmi_notify() while notification state is being torn
down and then dereference freed memory. The same ordering exists on the
probe error path after notification initialization.
The notification late-init worker has a separate lifetime issue: protocol
event registration queues ni->init_work on the system workqueue, so
destroying ni->notify_wq does not drain that work. If the devres group is
released while init_work is still pending or running, the late-init worker
can dereference the freed notification instance.
Quiesce the notification core before TX/RX channels are torn down, then
clean up the channels before releasing the notification core resources.
Use disable_work_sync() so future late-init queueing is rejected and any
already queued or running late-init work has completed before channel

firmware: arm_scmi: Drop handle on protocol bind failures
The SCMI bus notifier acquires an SCMI handle when the driver core emits
BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER, before invoking the protocol driver probe
callback. The protocol probe path only checks whether sdev->handle is
set.
If device_link_add() fails after the handle has been acquired, the
protocol device can still bind with a valid handle but without the
dependency link to the SCMI parent. A concurrent parent unbind can then
miss the child and tear down the SCMI instance while the child still
holds a handle into it.
If the protocol driver probe later fails, for example with
-EPROBE_DEFER, the driver core emits BUS_NOTIFY_DRIVER_NOT_BOUND rather
than BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER. The SCMI notifier only released the
handle on BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER, so each failed protocol-device bind
leaked the SCMI instance users refcount and left sdev->handle set after
the failed probe.
Make the link helper report failure and drop the acquired handle if the
link cannot be created. Also handle BUS_NOTIFY_DRIVER_NOT_BOUND in the
same cleanup path used for unbind so failed probes balance the earlier
BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER acquisition.

SCMI transport devices are deliberately excluded from normal SCMI bus
matching so protocol drivers cannot bind to the internal transport

Split the match helper so driver matching still skips transport devices,
while explicit child lookup can find them for teardown. Use a shared
transport-device name prefix macro for both matching and name generation.
Since transport-device names are derived from direction and protocol ID,
reject duplicate protocol channel setup before creating or finding a
transport device. This prevents malformed firmware with duplicate
protocol child nodes from reusing an existing transport device and then
destroying it when the duplicate IDR insertion fails.

dax/fsdev: clear pgmap ops and owner on unbind
fsdev_dax_probe() sets pgmap->ops = &fsdev_pagemap_ops and
pgmap->owner = dev_dax, but nothing ever clears them. For a dynamic
device the pgmap is devm-allocated and freed on unbind, so this is
harmless. For a static device the pgmap is the shared, long-lived one
owned by the dax bus (kill_dev_dax() only NULLs dev_dax->pgmap for the
non-static case), and device.c's probe sets only pgmap->type, never
clearing ops/owner.
So after fsdev unbinds a static device the stale fsdev_pagemap_ops
survives on the shared pgmap. If the device is then rebound to
device_dax (MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC, which installs no ->memory_failure),
or the fsdev_dax module is unloaded, a subsequent memory_failure on that
pgmap dispatches through the stale -- and possibly freed -- handler.
Register a devm action that clears pgmap->ops and pgmap->owner on unbind,
symmetric with setting them at probe, so the pgmap carries no fsdev state
once fsdev is detached.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dax: read holder_ops once in dax_holder_notify_failure()
dax_holder_notify_failure() reads dax_dev->holder_ops twice without
READ_ONCE() -- once for the NULL check and once for the indirect
notify_failure() call. A concurrent fs_put_dax() can clear holder_ops
between the two reads, so the check can observe a non-NULL pointer while
the call dereferences NULL. (kill_dax() also clears holder_ops, but only
after synchronize_srcu(), so it cannot race a reader that is inside
dax_read_lock(); fs_put_dax() does no such synchronization.)
Fetch holder_ops once into a local with READ_ONCE() so the NULL check and
the indirect call observe the same value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/renesas-irqc: Fix generic interrupt chip leak on remove
The driver allocates domain generic chips probe. However, on driver
removal, the generic chips are not automatically freed when the interrupt
domain is removed because the domain flags do not include
IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC.
This causes both the domain generic chips structure and the associated
generic chips to be leaked. Additionally, the generic chips remain on the
global list and may later be accessed by generic interrupt chip suspend,
resume, or shutdown callbacks after the driver has been removed,
potentially resulting in a use-after-free and kernel crash.
Fix the resource leak by setting IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC on the
interrupt domain; this lets the interrupt domain core automatically
release all generic chips when irq_domain_remove() is invoked, removing
the need for manual cleanup calls in error paths and remove callback.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: ipu6: Do not free aux device pdata after init
ipu6_bus_initialize_device() stores the isys/psys pdata pointer in
struct ipu6_bus_device and initializes the auxiliary device. After that
point, error unwinding must drop the auxiliary device reference and let
ipu6_bus_release() free both the bus device and adev->pdata.
The isys and psys init paths already call put_device() when MMU
initialization fails, and ipu6_bus_add_device() calls
auxiliary_device_uninit() on auxiliary_device_add() failure. Both paths
therefore run the bus release callback. The extra kfree(pdata) in the
callers can release the same object a second time.
Remove the manual pdata frees after the auxiliary device has been
initialized.
This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.

OPP: Fix cleanup ordering
Commit 173e02d67494 ("OPP: Initialize scope-based pointers inline")
added initialization for all pointers. In some cases, the ordering was
changed so that *opp_table was initialized after *opp. This also changes
the order of the registered cleanup functions.
When the cleanup happens, this can cause use-after-free errors when the
last reference is released and the release function _opp_kref_release
tries to access the already freed opp->opp_table.
Initialize *opp_table before *opp again to fix this and ensure the
correct cleanup order.

drm/amd/display: Fix DM I2C teardown race
DM I2C adapters can remain visible to userspace while DM teardown is
already in progress. A concurrent i2c-dev transfer may then enter
amdgpu_dm_i2c_xfer() after the backing DM state has been torn down,
leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
Create a devres group around the DM I2C adapter lifetime and release it
at the start of dm_hw_fini(), before HPD, IRQ, and DM state are torn
down. This removes the I2C adapters first and waits for in-flight users
to drain before the structures used by amdgpu_dm_i2c_xfer() disappear.
This fixes a teardown ordering race seen during device removal:

drm/bridge: tc358767: clamp the reported AUX read size to the request
tc_aux_transfer() clamps an AUX read to the payload limit:
size_t size = min_t(size_t, DP_AUX_MAX_PAYLOAD_BYTES - 1, msg->size);
After the transfer it replaces size with the byte count the controller
reports in AUX_BYTES:
if (size)
size = FIELD_GET(AUX_BYTES, auxstatus);
AUX_BYTES is GENMASK(15, 8), so it can be up to 255. Nothing clamps it
back to the request. tc_aux_read_data() reads that many bytes into the
16-byte auxrdata stack buffer, then copies them into the caller buffer. A
reported count of 255 makes the read run to 256 bytes and overruns both.
The controller should never report more than it was asked to transfer, so
this is defense in depth rather than a live hole. The reported count is
only lightly trusted, and the check is cheap. Clamp it back to the request,
the same way ti-sn65dsi86 does in commit aca58eac52b8 ("drm/bridge:
ti-sn65dsi86: Never store more than msg->size bytes in AUX xfer").

x86/mm/pat: Take cpa_lock around large-page collapse
Loading and unloading modules concurrently on several CPUs on a KASAN
build, with a short delay injected at the CPA page-table lookup to
widen the window, faults within minutes:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __change_page_attr+0x7cc/0x7e0
Write of size 8 at addr ffff888181139718 by task modprobe
...
The buggy address belongs to the physical page:
pfn:0x181139 ... page_type: f2(table)
cpa_collapse_large_pages() rebuilds a leaf PMD from its 4K PTEs and
frees the old PTE-table pages, while __change_page_attr() fetches a
PTE pointer from a lockless lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() and writes
it with set_pte_atomic() only later. When module text is served from
a shared large ROX mapping the two run on the same PMD:
CPU A (module load) CPU B (module finalize)
------------------- -----------------------
execmem_make_temp_rw
set_memory_nx
__change_page_attr
split 2M -> 4K table P
kpte = &P[i] (lockless)
execmem_restore_rox
set_memory_rox (CPA_COLLAPSE)
cpa_collapse_large_pages
rebuild leaf PMD
flush_tlb_all
pagetable_free(P)
set_pte_atomic(kpte, ...)
-> writes into freed P
P is a page-table page (page_type: table), reused at once, so the
write corrupts whatever got the page next: a bad-pte or bad-page
splat, or a fatal fault once P has been turned into read-only text.
The flush_tlb_all() before the free does not close this: its IPI only
serializes against page-table walkers that run with interrupts off
(e.g. GUP-fast); the walk in __change_page_attr() runs with interrupts
on, so nothing stops it from holding a stale pointer into P.
Serialize the collapse - the PMD rebuild, TLB flush and PTE-table
free - under cpa_lock, the same lock __change_page_attr() now takes
unconditionally since commit ("x86/mm/pat: stop gating cpa_lock on
debug_pagealloc_enabled()"), so a concurrent walker can no longer
hold a pointer into a table the collapse is about to free.

gpu: host1x: Avoid stack over-read in debug output helpers
host1x_debug_output() and host1x_debug_cont() used vsnprintf(), which
returns the length the formatted string would have reached with an
unbounded buffer. That return value was passed straight to o->fn as
the number of bytes to emit.
This could cause a read past end of the output buffer if a call to
host1x_debug_* produced a string longer than 256 bytes. This only
affected the debugfs files as the printk debug sink ignores the
number of bytes. In practice, this is very unlikely to occur.
Fix by switching to vscnprintf(), which returns the number of bytes
actually written.

scsi: ufs: core: Avoid possible memory reclaim deadlock in TX EQTR context
TX EQTR may run while devfreq gear scaling has quiesced the UFS
tagset. In that context, functions ufshcd_tx_eqtr(), __ufshcd_tx_eqtr()
and ufs_qcom_get_rx_fom() allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL. If direct
reclaim is triggered, reclaim/writeback can depend on I/O to UFS
device. Because the queue is quiesced, this can cause deadlock.
Use memalloc_noio_save/restore() in ufshcd_tx_eqtr() to cover all
allocations in the TX EQTR call tree, including:
- params->eqtr_record in ufshcd_tx_eqtr()
- eqtr_data in __ufshcd_tx_eqtr()
- params in ufs_qcom_get_rx_fom()
This is preferred over tagging individual call sites with GFP_NOIO, as it
automatically covers any future allocations added anywhere in the call tree
without requiring each caller to be aware of this constraint.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uio: Fix stale info pointer in failed registration path
After device_add(), the UIO device is visible to userspace and /dev/uioX
can be opened. If a later setup step fails, __uio_register_device()
unwinds the device but leaves idev->info pointing at the caller-owned
struct uio_info.
That is unsafe when an opener races with the failed registration path.
The open file keeps a reference to the uio_device, while the caller sees
registration failure and may free its struct uio_info. Later file
operations can then follow idev->info and dereference freed memory.
Handle post-device_add() failures like unregister: remove UIO attributes
while the info pointer is still valid, then clear idev->info under
info_lock and wake existing waiters/async users before removing the
device and minor. This makes already-open file descriptors observe the
same "device gone" state as normal uio_unregister_device().
