usb: usbtmc: Flush anchored URBs in usbtmc_release
When calling usbtmc_release, pending anchored URBs must be flushed or
killed to prevent use-after-free errors (e.g. in the HCD giveback
path). Call usbtmc_draw_down() to allow anchored URBs to be completed. |

netfilter: nft_ct: fix use-after-free in timeout object destroy
nft_ct_timeout_obj_destroy() frees the timeout object with kfree()
immediately after nf_ct_untimeout(), without waiting for an RCU grace
period. Concurrent packet processing on other CPUs may still hold
RCU-protected references to the timeout object obtained via
rcu_dereference() in nf_ct_timeout_data().
Add an rcu_head to struct nf_ct_timeout and use kfree_rcu() to defer
freeing until after an RCU grace period, matching the approach already
used in nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Use scratch field in MMIO fragment to hold small write values
When exiting to userspace to service an emulated MMIO write, copy the
to-be-written value to a scratch field in the MMIO fragment if the size
of the data payload is 8 bytes or less, i.e. can fit in a single chunk,
instead of pointing the fragment directly at the source value.
This fixes a class of use-after-free bugs that occur when the emulator
initiates a write using an on-stack, local variable as the source, the
write splits a page boundary, *and* both pages are MMIO pages. Because
KVM's ABI only allows for physically contiguous MMIO requests, accesses
that split MMIO pages are separated into two fragments, and are sent to
userspace one at a time. When KVM attempts to complete userspace MMIO in
response to KVM_RUN after the first fragment, KVM will detect the second
fragment and generate a second userspace exit, and reference the on-stack
variable.
The issue is most visible if the second KVM_RUN is performed by a separate
task, in which case the stack of the initiating task can show up as truly
freed data.

The bug can also be reproduced with a targeted KVM-Unit-Test by hacking
KVM to fill a large on-stack variable in complete_emulated_mmio(), i.e. by

Limit the use of the scratch fields to 8-byte or smaller accesses, and to
just writes, as larger accesses and reads are not affected thanks to
implementation details in the emulator, but add a sanity check to ensure
those details don't change in the future. Specifically, KVM never uses
on-stack variables for accesses larger that 8 bytes, e.g. uses an operand

futex: Require sys_futex_requeue() to have identical flags
Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF
when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial
motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex,
but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are
identical, as is the case for the old style sys_futex() requeue
operations. |

Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix dangling pointer on mgmt_add_adv_patterns_monitor_complete
This fixes the condition checking so mgmt_pending_valid is executed
whenever status != -ECANCELED otherwise calling mgmt_pending_free(cmd)
would kfree(cmd) without unlinking it from the list first, leaving a
dangling pointer. Any subsequent list traversal (e.g.,
mgmt_pending_foreach during __mgmt_power_off, or another
mgmt_pending_valid call) would dereference freed memory. |

ext4: fix use-after-free in update_super_work when racing with umount
Commit b98535d09179 ("ext4: fix bug_on in start_this_handle during umount
filesystem") moved ext4_unregister_sysfs() before flushing s_sb_upd_work
to prevent new error work from being queued via /proc/fs/ext4/xx/mb_groups
reads during unmount. However, this introduced a use-after-free because
update_super_work calls ext4_notify_error_sysfs() -> sysfs_notify() which
accesses the kobject's kernfs_node after it has been freed by kobject_del()
in ext4_unregister_sysfs():
update_super_work ext4_put_super
----------------- --------------
ext4_unregister_sysfs(sb)
kobject_del(&sbi->s_kobj)
__kobject_del()
sysfs_remove_dir()
kobj->sd = NULL
sysfs_put(sd)
kernfs_put() // RCU free
ext4_notify_error_sysfs(sbi)
sysfs_notify(&sbi->s_kobj)
kn = kobj->sd // stale pointer
kernfs_get(kn) // UAF on freed kernfs_node
ext4_journal_destroy()
flush_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work)
Instead of reordering the teardown sequence, fix this by making
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() detect that sysfs has already been torn down
by checking s_kobj.state_in_sysfs, and skipping the sysfs_notify() call
in that case. A dedicated mutex (s_error_notify_mutex) serializes
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() against kobject_del() in ext4_unregister_sysfs()
to prevent TOCTOU races where the kobject could be deleted between the
state_in_sysfs check and the sysfs_notify() call. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: EC: clean up handlers on probe failure in acpi_ec_setup()
When ec_install_handlers() returns -EPROBE_DEFER on reduced-hardware
platforms, it has already started the EC and installed the address
space handler with the struct acpi_ec pointer as handler context.
However, acpi_ec_setup() propagates the error without any cleanup.
The caller acpi_ec_add() then frees the struct acpi_ec for non-boot
instances, leaving a dangling handler context in ACPICA.
Any subsequent AML evaluation that accesses an EC OpRegion field
dispatches into acpi_ec_space_handler() with the freed pointer,
causing a use-after-free:

The bug triggers on reduced-hardware EC platforms (ec->gpe < 0)
when the GPIO IRQ provider defers probing. Once the stale handler
exists, any unprivileged sysfs read that causes AML to touch an
EC OpRegion (battery, thermal, backlight) exercises the dangling
pointer.
Fix this by calling ec_remove_handlers() in the error path of
acpi_ec_setup() before clearing first_ec. ec_remove_handlers()
checks each EC_FLAGS_* bit before acting, so it is safe to call
regardless of how far ec_install_handlers() progressed:
-ENODEV (handler not installed): only calls acpi_ec_stop()
-EPROBE_DEFER (handler installed): removes handler, stops EC |

spi: fix use-after-free on controller registration failure
Make sure to deregister from driver core also in the unlikely event that
per-cpu statistics allocation fails during controller registration to
avoid use-after-free (of driver resources) and unclocked register
accesses. |

ksmbd: fix use-after-free of share_conf in compound request
smb2_get_ksmbd_tcon() reuses work->tcon in compound requests without
validating tcon->t_state. ksmbd_tree_conn_lookup() checks t_state ==
TREE_CONNECTED on the initial lookup path, but the compound reuse path
bypasses this check entirely.
If a prior command in the compound (SMB2_TREE_DISCONNECT) sets t_state
to TREE_DISCONNECTED and frees share_conf via ksmbd_share_config_put(),
subsequent commands dereference the freed share_conf through
work->tcon->share_conf.

netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: split gc into unlink and reclaim phase
Yiming Qian reports Use-after-free in the pipapo set type:
Under a large number of expired elements, commit-time GC can run for a very
long time in a non-preemptible context, triggering soft lockup warnings and
RCU stall reports (local denial of service).
We must split GC in an unlink and a reclaim phase.
We cannot queue elements for freeing until pointers have been swapped.
Expired elements are still exposed to both the packet path and userspace
dumpers via the live copy of the data structure.
call_rcu() does not protect us: dump operations or element lookups starting
after call_rcu has fired can still observe the free'd element, unless the
commit phase has made enough progress to swap the clone and live pointers
before any new reader has picked up the old version.
This a similar approach as done recently for the rbtree backend in commit
35f83a75529a ("netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: don't gc elements on insert"). |

When a lock class is zapped (e.g. during module unload or key
unregistration), zap_class() clears the class's bit in
lock_classes_in_use and removes it from the class hash table.
However, existing lockdep_map instances embedded in data structures
may still retain a pointer to the zapped class in their class_cache[]
array.
When __lock_acquire() subsequently runs on such a lock, it finds
lock->class_cache[subclass] != NULL, skipping register_lock_class()
and assigning hlock->class_idx to the index of the zapped class. When
check_wait_context() or hlock_class() inspects the held_lock, it finds
!test_bit(class_idx, lock_classes_in_use) and warns. Furthermore, if
the zapped slot is subsequently re-allocated to an unrelated lock key,
the stale class_cache entry would erroneously match the unrelated
class (ABA issue).
Add lock_class_cache_is_valid() to validate that the cached class is
within lock_classes bounds, still allocated in lock_classes_in_use
(using uninstrumented arch_test_bit() in __always_inline context so it
is safe in noinstr contexts like match_held_lock()), and that
class->key matches the expected subkey (taking lockdep_set_subclass()
overrides into account). Also use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() when
accessing class_cache[]. If the entry is invalid or stale, fall back
to register_lock_class() / look_up_lock_class(). |

ALSA: usb: 6fire: Avoid embedded URBs
The USB 6fire driver uses URBs embedded in different structs for PCM,
MIDI and communication, and this is basically a buggy implementation
nowadays; since a URB is managed with a refcount, this may lead to a
UAF when the URB is released asynchronously.
For addressing the problem, this patch converts those embedded URBs to
ones that are properly allocated via usb_alloc_urb(). The
pcm_urb.packets[] is gone, as it's allocated by usb_alloc_urb(), hence
it's found in urb.iso_frame_desc[] instead.
The conversions are rather straightforward; each embedded struct urb
is changed to a pointer, and its callers are updated accordingly.
The resource for those structs are released in the common destructor
functions (usb6fire_comm_free(), etc), which are called at both the
init error path and the disconnect.
No functional changes, only compile-tested. |
| Use-after-free vulnerability in VFS in Google gVisor prior to release 20260831.0 on all platforms allows a local attacker with standard container privileges to achieve code execution in the host sentry process by double-freeing the backing MemoryFile from an in-sandbox overlay filesystem. The sentry process remains confined by host-level Linux seccomp and namespace boundaries. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nexthop: avoid unlocked f6i_list walk in nh_rt_cache_flush
nh_rt_cache_flush() walks nh->f6i_list during an RTNL-serialized nexthop
replace without holding nh->lock, racing the unlocked IPv6 route
add/delete that mutate the list under nh->lock and free fib6_info
entries (nh_rt_cache_flush() is inlined into rtm_new_nexthop()):
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nh_rt_cache_flush (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:2243)
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888012953e18 by task exploit/146

rtm_new_nexthop (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:3323)
rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:7076)
Unlike the other f6i_list walks, this one bumps each route's sernum via
fib6_update_sernum_upto_root(), which needs tb6_lock; taking nh->lock
around it would invert the established tb6_lock -> nh->lock order and
deadlock. As the only purpose is to invalidate cached dsts, bump the
IPv6 sernum for the whole netns with rt_genid_bump_ipv6() instead,
mirroring the rt_cache_flush() already done for IPv4 just above. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix VMA access race
aie2_populate_range() and amdxdna_umap_release() access a saved VMA
pointer that may have already been freed, leading to a potential
use-after-free.
Remove the VMA accesses from these functions to avoid the race. |

media: iris: fix use-after-free of fmt_src during MBPF check
During concurrency testing, multiple instances can run in parallel, and
each instance uses its own inst->lock while the core->lock protects the
list of active instances. The race happens because these locks cover
different scopes, inst->lock protects only the internals of a single
instance, while the Macro Blocks Per Frame (MBPF) checker walks the
core list under core->lock and reads fields like fmt_src->width and
fmt_src->height. At the same time, iris_close() may free fmt_src and
fmt_dst under inst->lock while the instance is still present in the core
list. This allows a situation where the MBPF checker, still iterating
through the core list, reaches an instance whose fmt_src was already
freed by another thread and ends up dereferencing a dangling pointer,
resulting in a use-after-free. This happens because the MBPF checker
assumes that any instance in the core list is fully valid, but the
freeing of fmt_src and fmt_dst without removing the instance from the
core list is not correct.
The correct ordering is to defer freeing fmt_src and fmt_dst until after
the instance has been removed from the core list and all teardown under
the core lock has completed, ensuring that no dangling pointers are ever
exposed during MBPF checks. |

net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix use-after-free of CPPI descriptor in RX path
cppi5_hdesc_get_psdata() returns a pointer into the CPPI descriptor.
In both emac_rx_packet() and emac_rx_packet_zc(), the descriptor is
freed via k3_cppi_desc_pool_free() before the psdata pointer is used
by emac_rx_timestamp(), which dereferences psdata[0] and psdata[1].
This constitutes a use-after-free on every received packet that goes
through the timestamp path.
Defer the descriptor free until after all accesses through the psdata
pointer are complete. For emac_rx_packet(), move the free into the
requeue label so both early-exit and success paths free the descriptor
after all accesses are done. For emac_rx_packet_zc(), move the free to
the end of the loop body after emac_dispatch_skb_zc() (which calls
emac_rx_timestamp()) has returned. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack: destroy stale expectfn expectations on unregister
NAT helpers such as nf_nat_h323 store a raw pointer to module text in
exp->expectfn (e.g. ip_nat_q931_expect). nf_ct_helper_expectfn_unregister()
only unlinks the callback descriptor and never walks the expectation table,
so an expectation pending at module removal survives with a dangling
exp->expectfn into freed module text.
When the expected connection arrives, init_conntrack() invokes
exp->expectfn(), now a stale pointer into the unloaded module. Reproduced
on a KASAN build by loading the H.323 helpers, creating a Q.931
expectation, unloading nf_nat_h323, then connecting to the expected port:
Oops: int3: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI

Modules linked in: nf_conntrack_h323 [last unloaded: nf_nat_h323]
Reaching the dangling state requires CAP_SYS_MODULE in the initial user
namespace to remove a NAT helper that still has live expectations, so this
is a robustness fix; leaving an expectation pointing at freed text is wrong
regardless.
Add nf_ct_helper_expectfn_destroy(), which walks the expectation table and
drops every expectation whose ->expectfn matches the descriptor being torn
down. Call it from each NAT helper's exit path after the existing RCU grace
period, so no expectation outlives the code it points at and no extra
synchronize_rcu() is introduced. With the fix, the same reproducer runs to
completion without the Oops. |
