| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mxsfb: Disable overlay plane in mxsfb_plane_overlay_atomic_disable()
When disabling overlay plane in mxsfb_plane_overlay_atomic_update(),
overlay plane's framebuffer pointer is NULL. So, dereferencing it would
cause a kernel Oops(NULL pointer dereferencing). Fix the issue by
disabling overlay plane in mxsfb_plane_overlay_atomic_disable() instead. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa: Add queue index attr to vdpa_nl_policy for nlattr length check
The vdpa_nl_policy structure is used to validate the nlattr when parsing
the incoming nlmsg. It will ensure the attribute being described produces
a valid nlattr pointer in info->attrs before entering into each handler
in vdpa_nl_ops.
That is to say, the missing part in vdpa_nl_policy may lead to illegal
nlattr after parsing, which could lead to OOB read just like CVE-2023-3773.
This patch adds the missing nla_policy for vdpa queue index attr to avoid
such bugs. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new Tx rings via ethtool
When the user changes the number of queues via ethtool, the driver
allocates new rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This
results in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and
would result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit
timestamp on the new ring. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Don't overflow during division for dirty tracking
If pgshift is 63 then BITS_PER_TYPE(*bitmap->bitmap) * pgsize will overflow
to 0 and this triggers divide by 0.
In this case the index should just be 0, so reorganize things to divide
by shift and avoid hitting any overflows. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps
There's a race condition in the multipath target when retrieve_deps
races with multipath_message calling dm_get_device and dm_put_device.
retrieve_deps walks the list of open devices without holding any lock
but multipath may add or remove devices to the list while it is
running. The end result may be memory corruption or use-after-free
memory access.
See this description of a UAF with multipath_message():
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2022-October/052373.html
Fix this bug by introducing a new rw semaphore "devices_lock". We grab
devices_lock for read in retrieve_deps and we grab it for write in
dm_get_device and dm_put_device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()
If the TLS security policy is of type RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509, then the
cert_serial and privkey_serial fields need to match as well since they
define the client's identity, as presented to the server. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: core: Prevent integer underflow
By using a ratio of delay to poll_enabled_time that is not integer
time_remaining underflows and does not exit the loop as expected.
As delay could be derived from DT and poll_enabled_time is defined
in the driver this can easily happen.
Use a signed iterator to make sure that the loop exits once
the remaining time is negative. |

misc: pci_endpoint_test: Fix pci_endpoint_test_{copy,write,read}() panic
The dma_map_single() doesn't permit zero length mapping. It causes a follow

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix race between wbt_enable_default and IO submission
When wbt_enable_default() is moved out of queue freezing in elevator_change(),
it can cause the wbt inflight counter to become negative (-1), leading to hung
tasks in the writeback path. Tasks get stuck in wbt_wait() because the counter
is in an inconsistent state.
The issue occurs because wbt_enable_default() could race with IO submission,
allowing the counter to be decremented before proper initialization. This manifests
as:
rq_wait[0]:
inflight: -1
has_waiters: True
rwb_enabled() checks the state, which can be updated exactly between wbt_wait()
(rq_qos_throttle()) and wbt_track()(rq_qos_track()), then the inflight counter
will become negative.
And results in hung task warnings like:
task:kworker/u24:39 state:D stack:0 pid:14767
Call Trace:
rq_qos_wait+0xb4/0x150
wbt_wait+0xa9/0x100
__rq_qos_throttle+0x24/0x40
blk_mq_submit_bio+0x672/0x7b0
...
Fix this by:
1. Splitting wbt_enable_default() into:
- __wbt_enable_default(): Returns true if wbt_init() should be called
- wbt_enable_default(): Wrapper for existing callers (no init)
- wbt_init_enable_default(): New function that checks and inits WBT
2. Using wbt_init_enable_default() in blk_register_queue() to ensure
proper initialization during queue registration
3. Move wbt_init() out of wbt_enable_default() which is only for enabling
disabled wbt from bfq and iocost, and wbt_init() isn't needed. Then the
original lock warning can be avoided.
4. Removing the ELEVATOR_FLAG_ENABLE_WBT_ON_EXIT flag and its handling
code since it's no longer needed
This ensures WBT is properly initialized before any IO can be submitted,
preventing the counter from going negative. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: core: Use different devices for resource allocation and DT lookup
Following by the below discussion, there's the potential UAF issue
between regulator and mfd.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221128143601.1698148-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com/
From the analysis of Yingliang
CPU A |CPU B
mt6370_probe() |
devm_mfd_add_devices() |
|mt6370_regulator_probe()
| regulator_register()
| //allocate init_data and add it to devres
| regulator_of_get_init_data()
i2c_unregister_device() |
device_del() |
devres_release_all() |
// init_data is freed |
release_nodes() |
| // using init_data causes UAF
| regulator_register()
It's common to use mfd core to create child device for the regulator.
In order to do the DT lookup for init data, the child that registered
the regulator would pass its parent as the parameter. And this causes
init data resource allocated to its parent, not itself. The issue happen
when parent device is going to release and regulator core is still doing
some operation of init data constraint for the regulator of child device.
To fix it, this patch expand 'regulator_register' API to use the
different devices for init data allocation and DT lookup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix reference count leak in snr_uncore_mmio_map()
pci_get_device() will increase the reference count for the returned
pci_dev, so snr_uncore_get_mc_dev() will return a pci_dev with its
reference count increased. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the
reference count. Let's add the missing pci_dev_put(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work()
Currently the buffer pointed by event is not freed in case
ATH12K_FLAG_UNREGISTERING bit is set, this causes memory leak.
Add a goto skip instead of return, to ensure event and all the
list entries are freed properly.

scsi: ufs: core: mcq: Fix &hwq->cq_lock deadlock issue
When ufshcd_err_handler() is executed, CQ event interrupt can enter waiting
for the same lock. This can happen in ufshcd_handle_mcq_cq_events() and
also in ufs_mtk_mcq_intr(). The following warning message will be generated
when &hwq->cq_lock is used in IRQ context with IRQ enabled. Use
ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock() with spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock to
resolve the deadlock issue.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: atmel-quadspi: Free resources even if runtime resume failed in .remove()
An early error exit in atmel_qspi_remove() doesn't prevent the device
unbind. So this results in an spi controller with an unbound parent
and unmapped register space (because devm_ioremap_resource() is undone).
So using the remaining spi controller probably results in an oops.
Instead unregister the controller unconditionally and only skip hardware
access and clk disable.
Also add a warning about resume failing and return zero unconditionally.
The latter has the only effect to suppress a less helpful error message by
the spi core. |
