CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/erdma: Hold QP references for AE and CM processing
AE QP fatal events and iWARP CM paths load QPs from dev->qp_xa
and then use or reference them outside the xarray lock.
erdma_destroy_qp() can drop the destroy-path reference and free QP
resources while such a lookup is in flight.
Add erdma_qp_get_by_qpn() to acquire a kref under the xarray
lock with kref_get_unless_zero(). Remove the QP from the xarray
before dropping the destroy-path reference so no new lookup can acquire
it while destruction waits for existing users. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: o2hb: quiesce negotiate handlers and timeout work
Heartbeat regions publish struct o2hb_region as the private data for the
NEGO_TIMEOUT and NEGO_APPROVE o2net handlers as soon as make_item()
creates the configfs region. The approve handler can call
o2hb_arm_timeout(), so a peer can touch the region timeout work before
dev_store() has finished building the heartbeat runtime, or after teardown
has started to shut that runtime back down.
The final configfs put also has to keep reg alive until the last in-flight
o2net callback drops its handler reference.
o2net_unregister_handler_list() blocks future handler lookups, but it does
not wait for sc_rx_work that already passed o2net_handler_get(). That
drain needs to cover local listener teardown as well, where the o2net
ordered workqueue may already be inside destroy_workqueue().
Fix the lifetime rule in both directions. Initialize the region delayed
works before publishing reg through the o2net handler table, keep new or
stopping regions non-armable with hr_stopping, and quiesce both delayed
works on failed-start and teardown paths even when no heartbeat thread is
left to call o2hb_disarm_timeout(). Then unregister handlers before
tearing down handler-visible region state and make the drain wait for the
active or destroying o2net ordered workqueue before release frees reg.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
region lifecycle: late negotiate callback:
1. make_item() registers the 1. o2net_process_message() gets a
region handlers before heartbeat handler for reg.
dev_store() has built a 2. The callback runs after the lookup
runnable heartbeat context. lock is dropped and dereferences reg.
2. A failed start or rmdir 3. An approve or timeout path tries to
stops the heartbeat thread, queue reg's delayed work, or release
quiesces existing work, and races the callback body after handler
drops the final configfs ref. unregister.
3. region_release() must drain 4. The callback or delayed work can
handler-visible o2net rx work outlive reg unless lifecycle code
before freeing reg. keeps the region non-armable and
drains the active-or-destroying
o2net workqueue.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
amt: Don't support cross-netns setup.
When a lower device is unregistered, amt_device_event() tries
to unregister its upper AMT device, but it has two problems.
1. amt_lookup_upper_dev() looks up an upper device in the
lower device's netns only
2. amt_device_event() unregisters a single upper device only
If AMT device is created on a lower device in another netns,
removing the lower device triggers the splat below and gets
stuck until all upper devices are removed. [0]
The cross-netns setup seems unintentional considering 1. and
the following points:
* amt_link_setup() sets dev->netns_immutable to true
* skb_scrub_packet() is not called in the fast path
* iproute2 binary fails to find cross-netns lower device via
link-netns:
# ip -n ns1 link add amt0 link-netns ns2 type amt dev veth1
Cannot find device "veth1"
Instead of supporting it properly and preparing for per-netns
netdev unreg, let's forbid cross-netns setup.
Note that the problem 2. needs a separate fix.

nvme-apple: Destroy the admin queue on removal
The admin queue is allocated with blk_mq_alloc_queue() but never
destroyed. nvme_free_ctrl() only drops the last reference and
blk_mq_exit_queue() and blk_sync_queue() never run: the hctx is never
moved to q->unused_hctx_list and the timeout timer and work stay armed on
a queue that is about to be freed which will eventually oops inside
blk_mq_timeout_work().
This can only be triggered when the controller fails to come up and is
then immediately torn down again which is why no one ever ran into this
before.
Let's just copy what the pcie driver does: unquiesce and destroy the admin
queue before nvme_uninit_ctrl().
With this the following WARN followed by a panic no longer happens:

ocfs2: validate DIO orphan slot during inode read
[BUG]
A corrupted append-DIO dinode (high byte at offset 0xa1
corrupted from 0 to 1) can carry an i_dio_orphaned_slot
outside the mounted filesystem slot range and trigger a
use-after-free error:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode+0x780/0x820 fs/ocfs2/sysfile.c:102

...
[CAUSE]
ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() uses i_dio_orphaned_slot to index the
slot-local system inode cache. The dinode validator does not check
this active slot, so an out-of-range value produces an invalid cache
entry pointer that is dereferenced as an inode pointer.
[FIX]
Reject an active i_dio_orphaned_slot outside the slot range during
dinode validation, before DIO orphan recovery can consume it. |

apparmor: fix deadlock in complain-mode change_hat
The use of change_hat when in complain mode can cause a deadlock
when the hat doesn't exist and a new learning profile is created
for the missing profile. This is because change_hat() has taken
the lock to search the hat list and creating the new learning
profile needs to take the lock to add it to the list.
From the bug report:
Originally found in 7.0.0 in LTS ubuntu 26.04 with pam_apparmor + su
in complain mode set to change hats. Then verified in newest
available vanilla kernel I've compiled to see if still present:
7.2-rc7 vanilla -> affected
checked also some other kernels:
6.18.44 vanilla -> affected
6.12.95 with debian patches -> unaffected
On systems without bug (for example 6.12.95 debian) it just prints:
aa_change_hat rc=0
On systems with bug, the executable always hangs, prints nothing and
becomes unkillable. (And once stuck this way, it will cause any
further hat changes to also cause the changing process to get stuck)
Then in syslog you can find hint about cause:

To fix the issue, lift the locking out of the core of
aa_new_learning_profile(), introduce a wrapper function that takes the
lock where needed, and have build_change_hat() call the core function
that no longer takes the lock.
In addition fix 4 other issues introduced by commit
32e92764d6f8d ("apparmor: grab ns lock and refresh when looking up changehat child profiles")
- aa_get_profile_rcu() was replaced-by: aa_get_profile without the
accompanying rcu_dereference_protected()
- an extra aa_get_label(label) was introduced at the start of
change_hat() without an accompanying aa_put_label() causing a
reference count leak.
- a reference count leak was introduced in the label_is_stale(label)
case, where the newest profile would be leaked instead of the
label passed to the function.
- a potential UAF when the lookup walks up the tree with new_ns != ns
the new label refere

ksmbd: defer publishing granted locks to prevent UAF/double-free race
In smb2_lock(), mid-batch granted locks are published to connection-wide
(conn->lock_list) and file-wide (fp->lock_list) lists immediately upon
vfs_lock_file() success, while also remaining tracked on the stack-local
rollback_list.
If a subsequent element in the same SMB2_LOCK request array fails
validation or execution, the thread jumps to out: and walks
rollback_list to undo previously granted locks. However, because the
granted lock was already published to conn->lock_list, a concurrent
UNLOCK request on the same connection can find the lock object and
kfree() it before the rollback loop executes.
When the granting thread subsequently walks rollback_list, it
dereferences and frees the already-freed ksmbd_lock structure, resulting
in a Use-After-Free and Double-Free (on both ksmbd_lock and struct
file_lock).
Fix this by deferring the publication of granted locks to
conn->lock_list and fp->lock_list until after the entire array of lock
elements has been processed without error. Mid-batch grants remain
tracked exclusively on the request-local rollback_list until the whole
batch succeeds, eliminating the race window. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: safely discard unregistered deferred locks
When vfs_lock_file() defers a lock, smb2_lock() puts its ksmbd_lock on
rollback_list before allocating and registering the asynchronous work.
If either operation fails, rollback assumes that smb_lock->conn is
initialized and dereferences NULL. The deferred file_lock also remains
linked into the VFS blocked-lock state while it is freed.
Keep the lock off rollback_list until async setup succeeds. On setup
failures, explicitly unblock and wake the deferred lock before freeing it
and its ksmbd wrapper. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: detach blocked lock requests before freeing
A file_lock retained by ksmbd for byte-range lock bookkeeping can still
be part of the VFS blocked-request graph. In particular, the VFS can
chain a new waiter below an already blocked request through
flc_blocked_requests. The ksmbd_file reference count does not cover that
graph.
Both __ksmbd_close_fd() and the cross-request unlock path free these
retained file_lock objects directly. If a dependent waiter is still
attached, locks_release_private() hits
BUG_ON(!list_empty(&flc->flc_blocked_requests)). The same lifetime
mismatch can leave a freed ksmbd_lock reachable through its request-local
llist.
Detach the file_lock from the blocked-request graph before freeing it in
the close, cross-request unlock, and rollback paths. locks_delete_block()
also wakes requests chained below the object. Remove llist when a
completed lock is published so a globally visible ksmbd_lock no longer
points into the submitting worker's stack. |

snd_mtpav_output_timer() rearms chip->timer while holding
chip->spinlock and accesses the card-private mtpav state.
snd_mtpav_free() currently takes the same lock and calls
timer_delete() when the timer is active. This only removes a
pending timer; it does not wait for a callback that is already
running and does not prevent the callback from rearming the timer.
A callback running on another CPU can therefore continue after
snd_mtpav_free() releases the lock and access the card-private
state while the card is being torn down. It can also rearm the
timer after timer_delete() has returned.
Call timer_shutdown_sync() without holding chip->spinlock. This
waits for any running callback to finish and prevents further
rearming before the card-private mtpav state is released. |

ip6mr: do not clone dst in ip6mr_cache_report()
IPv6 input attaches a non-refcounted (NOREF) dst to skbs under RCU.
When an ingress multicast packet misses MFC lookup,
ip6mr_cache_unresolved() places the skb onto the unresolved queue,
escaping the receive-side RCU grace period.
If the underlying route is deleted and freed, and the MFC queue is later
resolved with a wrong parent interface, ip6_mr_forward() invokes
ip6mr_cache_report(..., MRT6MSG_WRONGMIF), which executes
dst_clone(skb_dst(pkt)) on the freed dst entry, triggering a slab
use-after-free.
Report packets queued to mroute6_sk (a raw socket) and netlink
notifications do not require an attached dst entry.
Fix this by:
1. Removing dst_clone() in ip6mr_cache_report() and ensuring report skbs
do not hold a dst.
2. Dropping skb_dst before queuing unresolved skbs in
ip6mr_cache_unresolved(), matching the fact that multicast
forwarding resolves outgoing routes anew via ip6_route_output(). |

Bluetooth: L2CAP: access chan->conn safely in get/setsockopt
Since commit b66774b48dd9 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix UAF in channel timeout by holding conn ref")
l2cap_chan::conn has held reference and remains non-NULL also after the
corresponding hci_conn is deleted. In this state accessing various
fields eg. hci_conn::hdev is invalid, which leads to KASAN crash in
l2cap_sock_setsockopt() access of conn->hcon->hdev.
Check l2cap_chan::conn.hcon corresponds to an alive hci_conn before
trying to use it in l2cap_sock.c. Hold l2cap_chan_lock() in
getsockopt/setsockopt to ensure it stays alive, and to avoid data races
in l2cap_chan fields. |

USB: gadget: ffs: fix mm lifetime handling
io_data stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct,
but does not currently hold a reference to it while async
requests are pending.
This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before
completion handling finishes.
Take a reference with mmgrab() when queuing the read request
and release it with mmdrop() on request completion. |

usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix Use-After-Free in AIO error path
In ffs_epfile_write_iter() and ffs_epfile_read_iter(), when ffs_epfile_io()
fails with an error other than -EIOCBQUEUED, the io_data structure (`p`) is
freed. However, for AIO operations, the kiocb cancel function was already
armed and kiocb->private was set to `p`.
If a concurrent cancel operation (such as sys_io_cancel()) executes after
ffs_epfile_io() fails but before the function frees `p`, a Use-After-Free
can occur when the cancellation handler accesses the freed pointer.
To securely fix this race condition, we must properly un-arm the
cancellation. Invoking `kiocb->ki_complete()` does exactly this by
acquiring `ctx->ctx_lock` and safely removing the kiocb from the active
sequence. In doing so, it ensures that a parallel io_cancel can no longer
discover the kiocb, effectively closing the race window.
We then return -EIOCBQUEUED to notify the VFS layer that the kiocb has been
consumed and it should avoid attempting to complete the request again or
triggering subsequent completion handlers. |

HID: sony: clean up device list on probe failure
sony_input_configured() adds some controllers to sony_device_list before
HID core registers their input devices. input_register_device() can fail
after the callback returns successfully. sony_probe() then observes that
HID_CLAIMED_INPUT is clear and unwinds, but only stops the HID hardware.
The devres-managed sony_sc is freed while its list node remains linked, so
the next matching controller traverses freed memory.
Initialize the list node and device ID to inactive states. Make list
removal idempotent and run the driver-private cleanup on every probe
failure path. This also makes a second cleanup safe when
sony_input_configured() already unwound a partial initialization before
sony_probe() handles the missing input claim.
Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis;
verified against the HID input registration and probe unwind paths. |

NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during close_lru reaping
An nfs4_openowner left on nn->close_lru after its final CLOSE keeps
its last closed stateid in oo_last_closed_stid, holding only a raw
pointer to its nfs4_client. The laundromat reaps timed-out entries,
drops nn->client_lock, and calls nfs4_put_stid(), which dereferences
the client through cl_lock. Nothing pins the client across that
window, so a concurrent force_expire_client() can free it and
nfs4_put_stid() reads freed memory. __destroy_client() hits the same
race, walking clp->cl_openowners without cl_lock.
Pin the client with cl_rpc_users before dropping client_lock, and
skip clients already expiring. __destroy_client() then cleans up its
own close_lru entries through release_last_closed_stateid(), so
teardown no longer races the laundromat. |

usb: storage: realtek_cr: fix use-after-free on disconnect
realtek_cr_destructor() calls timer_delete() before the chip containing
the timer is freed. The timer callback may still be running and can
rearm itself, resulting in a use-after-free.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() to wait for the callback and prevent further
rearming. Do this unconditionally because ss_en may be changed after
the timer is armed.
Move timer_setup() into init_realtek_cr() so the timer is initialized
before any failure path can invoke the destructor.
Found by static analysis. |

ftrace: Take trace_array reference before accessing its ftrace_ops
The trace instance files set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace was
updated to work with specific trace instances (trace_arrays). The issue is
that when these files are opened, there is a small race window where it
will use the ftrace_ops from the inode->private pointer to get a reference
to the trace_array and then take its reference. The problem is that the
ftrace_ops itself could be freed. If the rmdir on the instance happens at
the same time the set_ftrace_filter file is opened, the rmdir could have
also freed the ftrace_ops and referencing it will cause a use-after-free
bug and crash the kernel.
Instead, pass in the trace_array as the file private data (NULL for the
top level instance), and then pass both the trace_array and the ftrace_ops
to the ftrace_regex_open() function. If the trace_array is NULL, then it
just uses the ftrace_ops without the need to take its reference (like
normal). If the ftrace_ops is NULL, that is only the case for the top
level instance and the global_ops can be used.
This allows the trace_array to have its reference incremented before
touching the ftrace_ops that could also be freed when the instance is. |

nvme: add missing SRCU grace period in error path
nvme_alloc_ns() error path at out_unlink_ns removes ns from the
namespace head siblings list with list_del_rcu(&ns->siblings) but
does not wait for SRCU readers before freeing the namespace struct.
Multipath code iterates the head->list under srcu_read_lock() in
nvme_find_path() and nvme_mpath_revalidate_paths(), so a concurrent
reader can still hold a reference to ns when kfree(ns) runs.
The normal removal path in nvme_ns_remove() correctly calls
synchronize_srcu(&ns->head->srcu) after list_del_rcu() to wait for
in-progress readers. Add the same grace period in the error path. |
