| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: tcp: unregister sysctl before tearing down listen socket
rds_tcp_exit_net() frees the per-netns RDS TCP listen socket via
rds_tcp_kill_sock() before unregistering the per-netns sysctl table. Since
rds_tcp_skbuf_handler() derives the netns from
rtn->rds_tcp_listen_sock->sk, a concurrent sysctl write can race with
netns teardown and dereference the freed socket/sk.
KASAN reports the race as:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rds_tcp_skbuf_handler+0x2aa/0x2e0
rds_tcp_skbuf_handler net/rds/tcp.c:721
proc_sys_call_handler fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c
vfs_write fs/read_write.c
__x64_sys_pwrite64 fs/read_write.c
Fix this by unregistering the RDS TCP sysctl table before calling
rds_tcp_kill_sock(). unregister_net_sysctl_table() prevents new sysctl
handlers from starting and waits for in-flight handlers to finish, so
the listen socket can then be released safely. The fix was tested
against the linked reproducer. |

KVM: nVMX: Put vmcs12 pages if nested VM-Enter fails due to invalid guest state
Put all vmcs12 pages if KVM synthesizes a nested VM-Exit due to invalid
guest while emulating VMLAUNCH or VMRESUME. The invalid guest state path
doesn't use nested_vmx_vmexit() as that API is intended to be used if and
only if L2 is active, and the open coded equivalent neglects to put the
vmcs12 pages. Failure to put the vmcs12 pages leaks any pinned pages
(and/or mappings) if L1 retries VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME.
Note, the !from_vmenter scenario doesn't suffer the same problem, as
vmx_get_nested_state_pages() only gets/pins/maps the vmcs12 pages if L2 is
active, i.e. if a "full" VM-Exit is guaranteed before KVM will retry
getting vmcs12 pages. |

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state that is no longer valid.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:
netpoll: fix a use-after-free on shutdown path
There is a use-after-free error on netpoll, which is clearly detected by
KASAN.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3b/0x80

The problem happens when there is a pending TX worker running in
parallel with the cleanup path.
This is what happens on netpoll shutdown path:
1) __netpoll_cleanup() is called
2) set dev->npinfo to NULL
3) call_rcu() with rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info()
3.1) rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() tries to cancel all workers with
cancel_delayed_work(), but doesn't wait for the worker to finish
4) and kfree(npinfo);
Because 3.1) doesn't really cancel the work, as the comment says "we
can't call cancel_delayed_work_sync here, as we are in softirq", the TX
worker can run after 4).
Tl;DR: queue_process() is not an RCU reader, it reaches npinfo through
the work item via container_of().
Use disable_delayed_work_sync() to ensure the worker is completely
stopped and prevent any future re-arming attempts. Once npinfo is set
to NULL, senders will bail out and not queue new work. The disable flag
ensures any in-flight re-arming attempts also fail silently.
In the future, we can do the cleanup inline here without needing the
npinfo->rcu rcu_head, but that is net-next material. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: free iso schedules on failed submit
EHCI and FOTG210 isochronous submits build an ehci_iso_sched before
linking the URB to the endpoint queue, and keep the staged schedule in
urb->hcpriv until iso_stream_schedule() and the link helpers consume it.
If the controller is no longer accessible, or usb_hcd_link_urb_to_ep()
fails, submit jumps to done_not_linked before that handoff happens and
leaks the staged schedule still attached to urb->hcpriv.
Free the staged schedule from done_not_linked when submit fails before
the URB is linked and clear urb->hcpriv after the free.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1.1.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have an
EHCI host controller with a USB isochronous device to test with, no
runtime testing was able to be performed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: iowarrior: fix use-after-free on disconnect race
mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure after releasing the lock
and therefore cannot be used to manage lifetime of objects directly
(unlike spinlocks and refcounts). [1][2]
Use a kref to release the driver data to avoid use-after-free in
mutex_unlock() when release() races with disconnect().

other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - protect service table iterations with service_lock
The service_table list is protected by service_lock when entries are
added or removed (in adf_service_add() and adf_service_remove()), but
several functions iterate over the list without holding this lock.
A concurrent adf_service_register() or adf_service_unregister() call
could modify the list during traversal, leading to list corruption or
a use-after-free.
Fix this by holding service_lock across all list_for_each_entry()
iterations of service_table in adf_dev_init(), adf_dev_start(),
adf_dev_stop(), adf_dev_shutdown(), adf_dev_restarting_notify(),
adf_dev_restarted_notify(), and adf_error_notifier().
The lock ordering is safe: callers of the static helpers (adf_dev_up()
and adf_dev_down()) acquire state_lock before service_lock, and no
event_hld callback or service_lock holder ever acquires state_lock in
the reverse order. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: protect tc_count increment in smb2_find_smb_sess_tcon_unlocked()
Commit 96c4af418586 ("cifs: Fix locking usage for tcon fields")
refactored cifs code to change cifs_tcp_ses_lock for tc_lock around
tc_count changes.
There was missing lock around tc_count increment inside
smb2_find_smb_sess_tcon_unlocked(). |

netfilter: ebtables: move to two-stage removal scheme
Like previous patches for x_tables, follow same pattern in ebtables.
We can't reuse xt helpers: ebt_table struct layout is incompatible.
table->ops assignment is now done while still holding the ebt mutex
to make sure we never expose partially-filled table struct. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-mq: pop cached request if it is usable
When submitting a bio to blk-mq, if the task should sleep after peeking
a cached request, but before it pops it, the plug flushes and calls
blk_mq_free_plug_rqs, freeing the cached_rqs. This creates a
use-after-free bug. Fix this by popping the cached request before any
possible blocking calls if it is suitable for use.
Popping this request first holds a queue reference, so avoid any
serialization races with queue freezes and can safely proceed with
dispatching that request to the driver. This potentially increases a
timing window from when a driver wants to freeze its queue to when
requests stop being dispatched. That scenario is off the fast path
though, and drivers need to appropriately handle requests during a
freeze request anyway.
The downside is the popped element needs to be individually freed when
we performed a bio plug merge. The cached request would have had to be
freed later anyway, but this patch does it inline with building the plug
list instead of after flushing it. |

fbdev: omap2: fix use-after-free in omapfb_mmap
omapfb_mmap() has a race condition with OMAPFB_SETUP_PLANE ioctl that
can lead to use-after-free:
The fb_mmap() entry point holds mm_lock but not lock (fb_info->lock),
while ioctl handlers like OMAPFB_SETUP_PLANE hold lock but not mm_lock.
This allows concurrent execution.
In omapfb_mmap():
1. rg = omapfb_get_mem_region(ofbi->region); // Get old region ref
2. start = omapfb_get_region_paddr(ofbi); // Read from NEW region
3. len = fix->smem_len; // Read from NEW region
4. vm_iomap_memory(vma, start, len); // Map NEW region memory
5. atomic_inc(&rg->map_count); // Increment OLD region!
Concurrently, OMAPFB_SETUP_PLANE can:
- Reassign ofbi->region = new_rg
- Update fix->smem_len
- OMAPFB_SETUP_MEM then checks NEW region's map_count (0!) and frees it
This leaves userspace with a mapping to freed physical memory.
The fix is to read all required values (start, len) from the same
region reference (rg) that will have its map_count incremented,
preventing the region from being freed while still mapped. |

erofs: fix use-after-free on sbi->sync_decompress
z_erofs_decompress_kickoff() can race with filesystem unmount, causing
a use-after-free on sbi->sync_decompress.
When I/O completes, z_erofs_endio() calls z_erofs_decompress_kickoff()
to queue z_erofs_decompressqueue_work() asynchronously. Then, after all
folios are unlocked, unmount workflow can proceed and sbi will be freed
before accessing to sbi->sync_decompress.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
l2tp: pppol2tp: hold reference to session in pppol2tp_ioctl()
pppol2tp_ioctl() read sock->sk->sk_user_data directly without any
locks or reference counting. If a controllable sleep was induced during
copy_from_user() (e.g. via a userfaultfd page fault sleep), a concurrent
socket close could trigger pppol2tp_session_close() asynchronously. This
frees the l2tp_session structure via the l2tp_session_del_work workqueue.
Upon resuming, the ioctl thread dereferences the stale session pointer,
resulting in a Use-After-Free (UAF).
Fix this by securely fetching the session reference using the RCU-safe,
refcounted helper pppol2tp_sock_to_session(sk) on entry. This locks the
session's refcount across the sleep. We structured the function to exit
via standard err breaks, guaranteeing that l2tp_session_put() is cleanly
called on all return paths to drop the reference.
To preserve existing behavior we validate the session and its magic
signature only for the specific L2TP commands that require it. This
ensures that generic/unknown ioctls called on an unconnected socket
still return -ENOIOCTLCMD and correctly fall back to generic handlers
(e.g. in sock_do_ioctl()). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: clean the sfp upstream if phy probing fails
Sashiko reported that we don't call sfp_bus_del_upstream() in the probe
failure path, so let's add it, otherwise the sfp-bus is left with a
dangling 'upstream' field, that may be used later on during SFP events.
This issue existed before the generic phylib sfp support, back when
drivers were calling phy_sfp_probe themselves. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/mbcache: cancel shrink work before destroying the cache
mb_cache_destroy() calls shrinker_free() and then frees all cache
entries and the cache itself, but it does not cancel the pending
c_shrink_work work item first.
If mb_cache_entry_create() schedules c_shrink_work via schedule_work()
and the work item is still pending or running when mb_cache_destroy()
runs, mb_cache_shrink_worker() will access the cache after its memory
has been freed, causing a use-after-free.
This is only reachable by a privileged user (root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
who can trigger the last put of a mounted ext2/ext4/ocfs2 filesystem.
Cancel the work item with cancel_work_sync() before calling
shrinker_free(), ensuring the worker has finished and will not be
rescheduled before the cache is torn down. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
greybus: raw: fix use-after-free on cdev close
This addresses a use-after-free bug when a raw bundle is disconnected
but its chardev is still opened by an application. When the application
releases the cdev, it causes the following panic when init on free is
enabled (CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y):
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 139 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0xd0/0x130

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
The cdev is contained in the "gb_raw" structure, which is freed in the
disconnect operation. When the cdev is released at a later time,
cdev_put gets an address that points to freed memory.
To fix this use-after-free, convert the struct device from a pointer to
being embedded, that makes the lifetime of the cdev and of this device
the same. Then, use cdev_device_add, which guarantees that the device
won't be released until all references to the cdev have been released.
Finally, delegate the freeing of the structure to the device release
function, instead of freeing immediately in the disconnect callback. |

greybus: raw: fix use-after-free if write is called after disconnect
If a user writes to the chardev after disconnect has been called, the
kernel panics with the following trace (with

Disconnect calls gb_connection_destroy, which ends up freeing the
connection object. When gb_operation_sync is called in the write file
operations, its gets a freed connection as parameter and the kernel
panics.
The gb_connection_destroy cannot be moved out of the disconnect
function, as the Greybus subsystem expect all connections belonging to a
bundle to be destroyed when disconnect returns.
To prevent this bug, use a rw lock to synchronize access between write
and disconnect. This guarantees that the write function doesn't try
to use a disconnected connection. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix double-free of tx_buf skb
If ice_tso() or ice_tx_csum() fail, the error path in
ice_xmit_frame_ring() frees the skb, but the 'first' tx_buf still points
to it and is marked as valid (ICE_TX_BUF_SKB).
'next_to_use' remains unchanged, so the potential problem will
likely fix itself when the next packet is transmitted and the tx_buf
gets overwritten. But if there is no next packet and the interface is
brought down instead, ice_clean_tx_ring() -> ice_unmap_and_free_tx_buf()
will find the tx_buf and free the skb for the second time.
The fix is to reset the tx_buf type to ICE_TX_BUF_EMPTY in the error
path, so that ice_unmap_and_free_tx_buf().
Move the initialization of 'first' up, to ensure it's already valid in
case we hit the linearization error path.
The bug was spotted by AI while I had it looking for something else.
It also proposed an initial version of the patch.
I reproduced the bug and tested the fix by adding code to inject
failures, on a build with KASAN.
I looked for similar bugs in related Intel drivers and did not find any. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "net/smc: Introduce TCP ULP support"
This reverts commit d7cd421da9da2cc7b4d25b8537f66db5c8331c40.
As reported by Al Viro, the TCP ULP support for SMC is fundamentally
broken. The implementation attempts to convert an active TCP socket
into an SMC socket by modifying the underlying `struct file`, dentry,
and inode in-place, which violates core VFS invariants that assume
these structures are immutable for an open file, creating a risk of
use after free errors and general system instability.
Given the severity of this design flaw and the fact that cleaner
alternatives (e.g., LD_PRELOAD, BPF) exist for legacy application
transparency, the correct course of action is to remove this feature
entirely. |
