| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix eswitch mode block underflow on IPsec acquire SA
mlx5e_xfrm_add_state() handles acquire-flow temporary SAs by allocating
software state and skipping hardware offload setup.
That path jumps to the common success label before taking the eswitch mode
block. After tunnel-mode validation was moved earlier, the common success
label unconditionally calls mlx5_eswitch_unblock_mode(). For acquire SAs,
this decrements esw->offloads.num_block_mode without a matching increment.
Return directly after installing the acquire SA offload handle, so only the
paths that successfully called mlx5_eswitch_block_mode() call the matching
unblock. |

wifi: mac80211: fix MLE defragmentation
If either reconf or EPCS multi-link element (MLE) is contained in
a non-transmitted profile, the defragmentation routine is called
with a pointer to the defragmented copy, but the original elements.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- if the original defragmentation was needed, it will not find the
correct data
- if the original frame is at a higher address, the parsing will
potentially overrun the heap data (though given the layout of
the buffers, only into the new defragmentation buffer, and then
it has to stop and fail once that's filled with copied data.
Fix it by tracking the container along with the pointer and in
doing so also unify the two almost identical defragmentation
routines. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: NFIT: core: Fix acpi_nfit_init() error cleanup
If acpi_nfit_init() fails after adding the acpi_desc object to the
acpi_descs list, that object is never removed from that list because
the acpi_nfit_shutdown() devm action is not added for the NFIT device
in that case. Next, the acpi_nfit_init() failure causes
acpi_nfit_probe() to fail, the acpi_desc object is freed, and a
dangling pointer is left behind in the acpi_descs. Any subsequent
ACPI Machine Check Exception will trigger nfit_handle_mce() which
iterates over acpi_descs and so a use-after-free will occur.
Moreover, if acpi_nfit_probe() returns 0 after installing a notify
handler for the NFIT device and without allocating the acpi_desc
object and setting the NFIT device's driver data pointer, the
acpi_desc object will be allocated by acpi_nfit_update_notify()
and acpi_nfit_init() will be called to initialize it. Regardless
of whether or not acpi_nfit_init() fails in that case, the
acpi_nfit_shutdown() devm action is not added for the NFIT device
and acpi_desc is never removed from the acpi_descs list. If the
acpi_desc object is freed subsequently on driver removal, any
subsequent ACPI MCE will lead to a use-after-free like in the
previous case.
To address the first issue mentioned above, make acpi_nfit_probe()
call acpi_nfit_shutdown() directly on acpi_nfit_init() failures and
to address the other one, add a remove callback to the driver and
make it call acpi_nfit_shutdown(). Also, since it is now possible to
pass NULL to acpi_nfit_shutdown() or the acpi_desc object passed to it
may not have been initialized, add checks against NULL for acpi_desc and
its nvdimm_bus field to that function and make acpi_nfit_unregister()
clear the latter after unregistering the NVDIMM bus. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: event: Fix event FIFO reset race
`iio_event_getfd()` creates the event file descriptor with
`anon_inode_getfd()`, which allocates a new fd, creates the anonymous
file and installs it in the process fd table before returning to the
caller.
The IIO code resets the event FIFO after `anon_inode_getfd()` has returned,
but before `IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL` has copied the fd number to userspace.
But since fd tables are shared between threads, another thread can guess
the newly allocated fd number and issue a `read()` on it as soon as the fd
has been installed.
This means the `kfifo_to_user()` in `iio_event_chrdev_read()` can run in
parallel with the `kfifo_reset_out()` in `iio_event_getfd()`.
The kfifo documentation says that `kfifo_reset_out()` is only safe when it
is called from the reader thread and there is only one concurrent reader.
Otherwise it is dangerous and must be handled in the same way as
`kfifo_reset()`.
If that happens, `kfifo_to_user()` can advance the FIFO `out` index based
on state from before the reset, after the reset has already moved the `out`
index to the current `in` index. That can leave the FIFO with an `out`
index past the `in` index. A later `read()` can then see an underflowed
FIFO length and copy more data than the event FIFO buffer contains. This
can result in an out-of-bounds read and leak adjacent kernel memory to
userspace.
Move the FIFO reset before `anon_inode_getfd()`. At that point the event fd is
marked busy, but the new fd has not been installed yet, so userspace cannot
access it while the FIFO is reset. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: virtio: Validate control metadata from the device
virtio-snd control handling trusts the device-provided control type and
value count returned by the device.
That metadata is then used directly to index g_v2a_type_map[] in
virtsnd_kctl_info(), and to size loops and memcpy() operations in
virtsnd_kctl_get() and virtsnd_kctl_put() against fixed-size
virtio_snd_ctl_value and snd_ctl_elem_value arrays.
A buggy or malicious device can therefore trigger out-of-bounds access by
advertising an invalid control type or an oversized value count.
Validate control type and count once in virtsnd_kctl_parse_cfg(), before
querying enumerated items or exposing the control to ALSA. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: compress: Fix task creation error unwind
snd_compr_task_new() allocates the driver task before validating the
returned DMA buffers and reserving file descriptors. When either of
those later steps fails, the core frees its task wrapper and DMA-buffer
references without calling the driver's task_free() callback. Any
driver resources allocated by task_create() are therefore leaked.
The dual-fd allocation path also jumps to cleanup without storing the
negative get_unused_fd_flags() result in retval. Since retval still
contains the successful task_create() return value, TASK_CREATE can
incorrectly report success although the task was discarded.
Preserve the fd allocation errors and call task_free() when failure
occurs after a successful task_create() callback. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda/cs35l41: Fix firmware load work teardown
cs35l41_hda creates ALSA controls whose private data points at the
cs35l41_hda object. The firmware load control can also queue
fw_load_work.
Those controls are not removed on component unbind, and device remove
only cancels fw_load_work through cs35l41_remove_dsp(). That helper is
skipped when halo_initialized is false. With firmware_autostart
disabled, a firmware load can be requested before the DSP has been
initialized. If the component or device is removed before the queued
work runs, the worker can run after teardown and dereference driver
state that is no longer valid.
Track the created controls and remove them on unbind so no new control
callback can reach the driver data or queue more work. Then cancel
fw_load_work to drain any request that was already queued. Also cancel
the work unconditionally during device remove before runtime PM teardown. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: Release the VGA arbiter client on register_device() failure
The re-order in the Fixes commit below displaced vfio_pci_vga_init() as
the last failure point of what is now vfio_pci_core_register_device()
without introducing an unwind for the VGA arbiter registration.
In current kernels this is mostly benign because vfio_pci_set_decode()
only uses pci_dev state, but the original failure path could leave a
callback with a freed vdev cookie. The stale registration also becomes
unsafe again once the callback follows drvdata to the vfio device.
Add the required VGA unwind callout. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpci_rt1711h: unregister TCPCI port with devres
rt1711h_probe() registers the TCPCI port before requesting the interrupt
and enabling alert interrupts. If either of those later steps fails, the
probe function returns without unregistering the TCPCI port. The explicit
unregister currently only happens from the remove callback.
Register a devres action immediately after tcpci_register_port() succeeds,
so tcpci_unregister_port() runs on later probe failures and on driver
detach. Drop the remove callback to avoid unregistering the same port
twice.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/IOV: Skip VF Resizable BAR restore on read error
sriov_restore_vf_rebar_state() uses the VF Resizable BAR Control register
to decide how many VF BARs to restore (nbars) and which VF BAR each
iteration addresses (bar_idx). bar_idx indexes into dev->sriov->barsz[],
which has only PCI_SRIOV_NUM_BARS (6) entries.
When a device does not respond, config reads typically return
PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE (~0). Both fields are 3 bits wide, so nbars and bar_idx
both evaluate to 7. The barsz[] access then goes out of bounds. UBSAN
reports this as:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/pci/iov.c:948:51 index 7 is out of range for type 'resource_size_t [6]'
Observed on an NVIDIA RTX PRO 1000 GPU (GB207GLM) that stopped responding
during a failed GC6 power state exit. The subsequent pci_restore_state()
invoked sriov_restore_vf_rebar_state() while config reads returned
0xffffffff, triggering the splat.
Bail out if any VF Resizable BAR Control read returns PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE.
No further VF BARs are touched, which is safe because a config read that
returns PCI_ERROR_RESPONSE indicates the device is unreachable and
restoration is pointless. This mirrors the guard in
pci_restore_rebar_state(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwrng: virtio: clamp device-reported used.len at copy_data()
random_recv_done() stores the device-reported used.len directly into
vi->data_avail. copy_data() then indexes vi->data[] using
vi->data_idx (advanced by previous copy_data() calls) and issues a
memcpy() without re-validating either value against the posted
buffer size sizeof(vi->data) (SMP_CACHE_BYTES bytes, typically 32
or 64).
A malicious or buggy virtio-rng backend can set used.len beyond
sizeof(vi->data), steering the memcpy() past the end of the inline
array into adjacent kmalloc-1k slab bytes. hwrng_fillfn() mixes
those bytes into the guest RNG, and guest root can also observe
them directly via /dev/hwrng.
Concrete impact is inside the guest:
- Memory-safety / hardening: any virtio-rng backend that
over-reports used.len causes the driver to read past vi->data
into unrelated slab contents. hwrng_fillfn() is a kernel thread
that runs as soon as the device is probed; no guest userspace
interaction is required to first-trigger the OOB.
- Cross-boundary leak (confidential-compute threat model): a
malicious hypervisor cooperating with a malicious or compromised
guest root userspace can use /dev/hwrng as a leak channel for
guest-kernel heap data. The host sets a large used.len, guest
root reads /dev/hwrng, and the returned bytes contain guest
kernel slab contents that were adjacent to vi->data. In
practice, confidential-compute guests (SEV-SNP, TDX) usually
disable virtio-rng entirely, so this path is narrow, but the
fix is still worth carrying because the underlying
memory-safety bug contaminates the guest RNG on any host.
KASAN confirms the OOB on a 7.1-rc4 guest whose virtio-rng backend
has been patched to report used.len = 0x10000:

usb9pfs_rx_complete() against unchecked device-reported length in
the USB 9p transport.
With the clamp at point of use and array_index_nospec() in place,
the same harness boots cleanly: copy_data() returns zero for the
bogus report, the device-supplied bytes after data_idx are
discarded, and the driver issues a fresh request. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
6lowpan: fix NHC entry use-after-free on error path
lowpan_nhc_do_uncompression() looks up an NHC descriptor while holding
lowpan_nhc_lock. If the descriptor has no uncompress callback, the error
path drops the lock before printing nhc->name.
lowpan_nhc_del() removes descriptors under the same lock and then relies
on synchronize_net() before the owning module can be unloaded. That only
waits for net RX RCU readers. lowpan_header_decompress() is also exported
and can be reached from callers that are not necessarily covered by the net
core RX critical section, for example the Bluetooth 6LoWPAN L2CAP receive
path.
This leaves a race where one task drops lowpan_nhc_lock in the error path,
another task unregisters and frees the matching descriptor after
synchronize_net() returns, and the first task then dereferences nhc->name
for the warning.
With the post-unlock window widened, KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in lowpan_nhc_do_uncompression+0x1f4/0x220
Read of size 8
lowpan_nhc_do_uncompression
lowpan_header_decompress
Fix this by printing the warning before dropping lowpan_nhc_lock, so the
descriptor name is read while unregister is still excluded. The malformed
packet is still rejected with -ENOTSUPP. |

tipc: fix out-of-bounds read in broadcast Gap ACK blocks
A broadcast PROTOCOL/STATE_MSG can carry a Gap ACK blocks record in its
data area. tipc_get_gap_ack_blks() only verifies that the record's len
field is self-consistent with its ugack_cnt/bgack_cnt counts
(sz == struct_size(p, gacks, ugack_cnt + bgack_cnt)); it does not check
that the record actually fits in the message data area, msg_data_sz().
The unicast caller tipc_link_proto_rcv() bounds it ("if (glen > dlen)
break;"), but the broadcast caller tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() discards the
returned size, so tipc_link_advance_transmq() copies the record off the
receive skb with an attacker-controlled count:
this_ga = kmemdup(ga, struct_size(ga, gacks, ga->bgack_cnt),
GFP_ATOMIC);
A TIPC neighbour that negotiated TIPC_GAP_ACK_BLOCK triggers it with one
ordinary broadcast STATE_MSG (msg_bc_ack_invalid() clear), sized so its
data area is short, carrying a Gap ACK record with len = 0x400,
bgack_cnt = 0xff and ugack_cnt = 0. len then equals
struct_size(p, gacks, 255), so the consistency check passes and ga is
non-NULL; kmemdup() reads struct_size(ga, gacks, 255) = 1024 bytes out
of the much smaller skb:

The copied-out bytes are subsequently consumed as gap/ack values, but
the read is already out of bounds at the kmemdup() regardless of how
they are used.
The unicast STATE path drops such a message: "if (glen > dlen) break;"
skips the rest of STATE_MSG handling and the skb is freed. Make the
broadcast path drop it too. tipc_bcast_sync_rcv() now bounds the record
against msg_data_sz() and, when it does not fit, reports it back through
tipc_node_bc_sync_rcv() to tipc_rcv() so the skb is discarded rather than
processed. ga is not cleared on this path: ga == NULL already means
"legacy peer without Selective ACK", a distinct legitimate state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: restrict implied bcc[0] exemption to responses without data area
smb2_check_message() has a long-standing quirk that accepts a response
whose calculated length is one byte larger than the bytes actually
received ("server can return one byte more due to implied bcc[0]").
This was introduced to accommodate servers that omit the trailing bcc[0]
overlap byte when no data area is present.
However, the exemption is applied unconditionally, regardless of whether
the command actually carries a data area (has_smb2_data_area[]). When a
response with a data area is subject to the +1 exemption, the reported
data can extend one byte beyond the bytes actually received, yet
smb2_check_message() still accepts it. The subsequent decoder then reads
past the end of the receive buffer. This is reachable during NEGOTIATE
and SESSION_SETUP, before the session is established.
The resulting out-of-bounds reads are visible under KASAN when mounting
against a non-conforming server; both the SPNEGO/negTokenInit and the
NTLMSSP challenge decoders are affected:

staging: rtl8723bs: fix WEP length underflow and OOB read in OnAuth()
OnAuth() has two bugs in the shared-key authentication path.
When the Privacy bit is set, rtw_wep_decrypt() is called without
verifying that the frame is long enough to contain a valid WEP IV and
ICV. Inside rtw_wep_decrypt(), length is computed as:
length = len - WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN - iv_len
and then passed as (length - 4) to crc32_le(). If len is less than
WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN + iv_len + icv_len (32 bytes), length - 4 is negative
and, after the implicit cast to size_t, causes crc32_le() to read far
beyond the frame buffer. Add a minimum length check before accessing
the IV field and calling the decryption path.
When processing a seq=3 response, rtw_get_ie() stores the Challenge
Text IE length in ie_len, but the subsequent memcmp() always reads 128
bytes regardless of ie_len. IEEE 802.11 mandates a challenge text of
exactly 128 bytes; reject any IE whose length field differs, matching
the check already applied to OnAuthClient(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in OnAssocRsp() IE loop
The IE parsing loop in OnAssocRsp() advances by (pIE->length + 2) each
iteration but only guards on i < pkt_len. When a malicious AP sends an
AssocResponse whose last IE has only one byte remaining in the frame
(the element_id byte lands at pkt_len-1), the loop reads pIE->length
from pframe[pkt_len], which is one byte past the allocated receive buffer.
Additionally, even when the header bytes are in bounds, pIE->length
itself can extend the data window beyond pkt_len, silently passing a
truncated IE to the handler functions.
Add two guards at the top of the loop body:
1. Break if fewer than sizeof(*pIE) bytes remain (can't read header).
2. Break if the IE's declared data extends past pkt_len. |

Also replace i += (pIE->length + 2) with i += sizeof(*pIE) + pIE->length
for consistency with the sizeof(*pIE) guards added above. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB reads in IE loops in issue_assocreq() and join_cmd_hdl()
Two IE parsing loops are missing the header bounds checks before they
dereference pIE->length:
- issue_assocreq() walks pmlmeinfo->network.ies to build the
association request. If the stored IE data ends with only an
element_id byte and no length byte, pIE->length is read one byte
past the end of the buffer.
- join_cmd_hdl() walks pnetwork->ies during station join and has
the same problem under the same conditions.
Both buffers are filled from AP beacon and probe-response frames, so a
malicious AP that sends a truncated final IE can trigger the issue.
Apply the two-guard pattern established in update_beacon_info():
1. Break if fewer than sizeof(*pIE) bytes remain.
2. Break if the IE's declared data extends past the buffer end. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB reads in rtw_get_sec_ie(), rtw_get_wapi_ie(), and rtw_get_wps_attr()
Three IE/attribute parsing functions have missing bounds checks.
rtw_get_sec_ie() and rtw_get_wapi_ie() iterate over a raw IE buffer
without verifying that the header bytes (tag + length) are within the
remaining buffer before reading them. Additionally, rtw_get_sec_ie()
compares the 4-byte WPA OUI at cnt+2 without checking that at least
6 bytes remain, and rtw_get_wapi_ie() compares a 4-byte WAPI OUI at
cnt+6 without checking that at least 10 bytes remain.
rtw_get_wps_attr() reads wps_ie[0] and wps_ie+2 unconditionally at
entry, before verifying that wps_ielen is large enough to contain
the 6-byte WPS IE header (element_id + length + 4-byte OUI). Inside
the attribute loop, get_unaligned_be16() is called on attr_ptr and
attr_ptr+2 without checking that 4 bytes remain in the buffer.
Add a cnt+2 bounds check before each loop body in rtw_get_sec_ie()
and rtw_get_wapi_ie(), guard each multi-byte comparison with a minimum
IE length requirement, add a wps_ielen < 6 early return in
rtw_get_wps_attr(), and add a 4-byte bounds check in its inner loop. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB write in HT_caps_handler()
HT_caps_handler() iterates pIE->length bytes and writes into
HT_caps.u.HT_cap[], which is a fixed 26-byte array (sizeof struct
HT_caps_element). Because pIE->length is a raw u8 from an over-the-air
802.11 AssocResponse frame and is never validated, a malicious AP can
set it up to 255, causing up to 229 bytes of out-of-bounds writes into
adjacent fields of struct mlme_ext_info.
Truncate the iteration count to the size of HT_caps.u.HT_cap using
umin() so that data from a longer-than-expected IE is silently ignored
rather than written out of bounds, preserving interoperability with APs
that pad the element. An early return on oversized IEs was considered
but rejected: it would bypass the pmlmeinfo->HT_caps_enable = 1
assignment that precedes the loop, silently disabling HT mode for APs
that append extra bytes to the HT Capabilities IE. |
