CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: refuse an automount below a mount that is in no namespace
It's possible to add autmounts even when the parent mount isn't in the
mount namespace of the caller. The only requirement we have is that the
parent mount namespace must not be NULL, i.e., unmounted.
Problem is that clone_private_mount() has MNT_NS_INTERNAL which makes
that trivially true. So that passes the test and attach_recursive_mnt()
accepts that as a mount point and funny enough, count_mounts()
dereferences MNT_NS_INTERNAL. The problem is it is an error pointer...
So we can reach this in userspace via fanotify. A filesystem mark on the
lower filesystem of an overlay reports paths on the layer clone and
reading the event hands out a descriptor on it. For example with debugfs
as the lower layer it goes kaboom:
openat(evfd, "tracing", O_DIRECTORY)
Oops: general protection fault
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x1d0-0x1d7]
RIP: 0010:count_mounts+0x35/0x200
attach_recursive_mnt
finish_automount
And since that sleeping beauty happens under namespace_sem held for
writing every mount operation on the system blocks from then on.
Congrats.
Use is_mounted() instead which rejects unmounted and internal mounts
alike. The open fails with EINVAL just as it did before
clone_private_mount() used MNT_NS_INTERNAL. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: use the local P2P device on metadata allocation failure
nvmet_req_alloc_p2pmem_sgls() assigns req->p2p_dev only after the data
and metadata SGL allocations succeed. If the data allocation succeeds
but the metadata allocation fails, out_free_sg passes req->p2p_dev to
pci_p2pmem_free_sgl() before that assignment has taken place.
Pass the local p2p_dev argument instead, so cleanup uses the same PCI
device as the successful data allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: spinand: fix NULL pointer dereference with no ECC engine
When "nand-no-ecc-engine" is set in DT, nanddev_get_ecc_engine() takes
the NAND_ECC_ENGINE_TYPE_NONE path and returns success while leaving
nand->ecc.engine NULL. The SPI-NAND code nevertheless dereferences it
unconditionally to test for a pipelined engine, so probing such a
device oopses immediately.
Rather than open-coding the test three times, add a
nand_ecc_is_pipelined() helper to the NAND core that folds the NULL
check into the integration comparison, and use it everywhere. Future
callers then cannot reintroduce the problem. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of/overlay: only treat a positive changeset id as registered
of_overlay_fdt_apply() stores the idr_alloc() return value in
ovcs->id before checking it. On failure the stored id is negative,
free_overlay_changeset()'s "if (ovcs->id)" check passes, idr_remove()
is called with a negative id and list_del() runs on ovcs->ovcs_list,
which is not initialized until after the id allocation. An allocation
failure at that point dereferences NULL.
Make free_overlay_changeset() treat only a strict-positive id as
registered. The rest of the function already copes with a
partially-initialized ovcs, so the error path stays a plain
goto err_free_ovcs. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mctp: publish the mctp_dev only after it is initialised
mctp_add_dev() links the new mctp_dev into dev->mctp_ptr before mdev->dev
is assigned, so a reader that picks the device up in that window
dereferences a net_device pointer that is still NULL:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000000b0-0x00000000000000b7]

Fix by publishing only once the object is fully initialised:
__mctp_dev_get() runs under rcu_read_lock() only and hands
this object to readers as soon as mctp_ptr is assigned, so
they must never observe mdev->dev == NULL. |

net: bcmgenet: fix NULL dereference in set_coalesce before first open
The Rx ring priv and index are only set in bcmgenet_init_rx_ring(),
which runs at open. Setting the Rx coalescing parameters on an interface
that was never opened, e.g. "ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 50", dereferences
a NULL ring->priv. The oops happens with RTNL held, so networking
stays stuck until a reboot:

Set priv and index at probe. Writing the registers while the interface
is down is harmless because open resets the MAC and
bcmgenet_init_rx_coalesce() reapplies the stored values.
It was observed on a Raspberry Pi CM4, but should apply to all other
genet devices. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: check dc_state_create_copy() for NULL in dm_suspend
dc_state_create_copy() can return NULL on allocation failure.
dm_suspend() only conditionally skips dm_gpureset_toggle_interrupts()
and continues execution, returning success. dm_resume() then
dereferences the NULL cached_dc_state in link_enc_cfg_copy() and the
following dc_state->stream_count loop, crashing during GPU reset
recovery.
Return -ENOMEM immediately if the copy fails, so the caller aborts
suspend instead of leaving a NULL cached state for resume.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in FUNCTIONFS_ENDPOINT_DESC
When user space sets up FunctionFS with only full-speed descriptors
(e.g., flags = FUNCTIONFS_HAS_FS_DESC) and the gadget operates at a
higher speed (such as USB_SPEED_HIGH or USB_SPEED_SUPER),
config_ep_by_speed() detects that the function lacks descriptors for
the current speed, logs a warning, and falls back to full-speed
descriptors. The endpoint is then successfully enabled via
usb_ep_enable(), and epfile->ep becomes valid.
However, when user space subsequently issues the FUNCTIONFS_ENDPOINT_DESC
ioctl to query the endpoint descriptor, ffs_epfile_ioctl() selects the
descriptor index solely based on gadget->speed:
switch (epfile->ffs->gadget->speed) {
case USB_SPEED_SUPER:
case USB_SPEED_SUPER_PLUS:
desc_idx = 2;
break;
case USB_SPEED_HIGH:
desc_idx = 1;
break;
default:
desc_idx = 0;
}
desc = epfile->ep->descs[desc_idx];
memcpy(&desc1, desc, desc->bLength);
Because user space only supplied full-speed descriptors,
epfile->ep->descs[1] is NULL. Dereferencing desc->bLength triggers an
immediate kernel NULL pointer dereference panic.
Fix this by falling back through lower speed descriptors if the current
speed descriptor was not supplied, matching the fallback logic in
config_ep_by_speed() and historical f_fs behavior. If still missing,
fall back to epfile->ep->ep->desc (the active descriptor), and return
-EINVAL safely if no valid descriptor is found. In addition, mark desc
as const to match struct usb_ep::desc and avoid discarding qualifiers. |

usb: cdns3: Fix NULL pointer dereference in cdns3_pci_probe
The Cadence USBSS controller is a two-function PCI device. The first
probed function allocates the driver data and stores it with
pci_set_drvdata(), while the second function reuses it via
pci_get_drvdata() when pci_is_enabled() reports that the first
function has already been probed.
When the second function is probed while the first one has been
enabled but has not yet set its driver data, pci_get_drvdata()
returns NULL, and the subsequent wrap->devfn assignment dereferences
a NULL pointer and crashes the kernel.

USB: serial: fix ioctl hangup race
The tty ioctls can race with hangup and end up calling into a tty driver
for a device that is already gone or powered down.
Serialise the callbacks using the tty port mutex and add the missing
checks to make sure the port has not been hung up before accessing port
driver data or hardware.
This specifically avoids dereferencing a NULL-pointer if a device is
disconnected during lengthy break signalling.
Note that TIOCGICOUNT and TIOCMIWAIT do not access port driver data or
hardware and are therefore not affected by the race. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: preserve LZMA decoders on resize failure
The pool-resize path frees each stream's old decoder before allocating
its replacement. If an allocation fails after some streams have already
been replaced, the failed stream is put back on the list with state ==
NULL. z_erofs_lzma_max_dictsize is still advanced as if the whole
pool had been resized.
An existing LZMA mount can select the broken stream and pass
NULL to xz_dec_microlzma_reset(). A retry at the same size also
skip another resize attempt. Since the global maximum was advanced,
thus, the invalid state is left unrepaired.
Allocate each replacement before freeing the old decoder, temporarily
retaining one old decoder during allocation. Stop at the first failure
and advance z_erofs_lzma_max_dictsize only after all streams satisfy
the request.
Record each stream's dictionary capacity so retries can skip streams
already enlarged before a partial failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix queue teardown NULL dma_free and bitmap locking
qla25xx_free_req_que() and qla25xx_free_rsp_que() have two pre-existing
bugs exposed on the error path of qla25xx_create_{req,rsp}_que():
1. When dma_alloc_coherent() fails during queue creation, the error
path calls the free function with req->ring / rsp->ring still NULL
(from kzalloc). The unconditional dma_free_coherent() with a NULL
cpu_addr is undefined behavior and can panic.
2. The free functions clear req_qid_map / rsp_qid_map under vport_lock,
but the create functions protect the same bitmaps with mq_lock.
This provides no mutual exclusion. Additionally, the create error
path clears the bit and releases mq_lock before calling the free
function, creating a window where another thread can allocate the
same que_id and have its ha->req_q_map entry clobbered by the
subsequent lockless NULL assignment in the free function.
Fix by:
- Guarding dma_free_coherent() with a NULL check on the ring pointer.
- Using mq_lock (the lock held by all creators) in the free functions
to atomically NULL the map entry and clear the bitmap bit.
- Removing the now-redundant clear_bit blocks from the create error
paths since the free functions handle it atomically. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: 8250: protect against NULL uart->port.dev in register
serial8250_register_8250_port() conditionally copies uart->port.dev
from up->port.dev only when up->port.dev is non-NULL:
if (up->port.dev) {
uart->port.dev = up->port.dev;
...
}
So if both the existing uart slot and up have a NULL ->dev,
uart->port.dev remains NULL. The very next ACPI companion check
then dereferences it unconditionally:
if (!has_acpi_companion(uart->port.dev)) {
has_acpi_companion() reads dev->fwnode without a NULL guard
(include/linux/acpi.h), so this NULL-derefs the kernel for the
remaining no-dev case rather than just skipping the
mctrl_gpio_init() initialisation as intended.
smatch flags the inconsistency:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:767
serial8250_register_8250_port() error: 'uart->port.dev' could be
null (see line 719)
Guard the call with a NULL check so register continues to work
for callers that legitimately have no parent device (legacy
non-OF/non-ACPI registrations).
No functional change for callers that pass a non-NULL ->dev. |

mm/mm_init: handle alloc_percpu failure in free_area_init_core_hotplug
We miss a failed allocation check for pgdat->per_cpu_nodestats, which
results in a NULL deref when we offset into the per-cpu area.
Propagate -ENOMEM up the stack and leave per_cpu_nodestats pointing
at boot_nodestats so a later online can retry the allocation.
hotadd_init_pgdat() returns NULL on failure, which __try_online_node()
already maps to -ENOMEM.
On failure nothing needs to be unwound:
- the node is never marked online
- per_cpu_nodestats is left pointing at boot_nodestats
- __add_memory_resource() cleans up pending memblock resources
- later online attempts retry the per_cpu_nodestats allocation |

platform/x86: lg-laptop: Fix LED resource handling
The event notification callback might access kbd_backlight even
when it was not successfully registered with the LED subsystem.
The same happens inside acpi_remove(), where the LED devices are
unregistered unconditionally.
Fix this by tracking the availability of the kbd_backlight LED
device and use devm_led_classdev_register() to let devres take
care of unregistering the LED devices during removal. For this
the parent device of the LED devices is changed to the native
platform device. |
| 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. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: fix P2P action frame handling without device vif
Some P2P action frame paths assume the P2P device vif is always
available. That is not true when userspace sends non-P2P public action
frames through the primary interface, or when action-frame abort runs
after the P2P device vif has not been created.
Fall back to the primary vif when aborting an action frame without a P2P
device vif, and guard P2P device saved IE access before using it for
peer channel search. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: core: do fallible allocations before the console can be registered
serial_core_add_one_port() allocates uport->tty_groups after
uart_configure_port(), which may register the console. If the allocation
fails, the driver unwinds the port while its console remains registered.
The earlier uport->name allocation has a related failure path that leaves
state->uart_port linked to a port being freed.
Failslab reproduced a NULL dereference in PL011 console output and a KASAN
use-after-free in i.MX console output after failed binds.
Allocate the name and tty_groups before linking the port and configuring
it. Reserve space for the optional driver attribute group because
config_port() may populate uport->attr_group during configuration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: skip cdev_del() when no cdev is registered
TTY device registration can fail before a cdev is allocated.
Serial core keeps the port so setserial can still use it, and later
removal passes the NULL cdev slot to cdev_del(), causing a NULL-pointer
dereference.
Only delete the cdev when the slot is not NULL. |
