| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix memory leak in ieee80211_register_hw()
If kmemdup() fails while copying supported band structures, the error
path jumps to fail_rate. This skips rate_control_deinitialize() and
leaks the initialized local->rate_ctrl.
Fix this by adding a fail_band label that shares the rate-control cleanup
path before falling through to the remaining teardown.
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-rc7.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have a
suitable mac80211 device/driver combination to test with, no runtime
testing was able to be performed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/bugs: Make Safe-RET robust against interrupt injection
An attacker injecting interrupts while the Safe-RET mitigation executes
on machines affected by SRSO can neutralize the safe return sequence,
potentially leading to data leakage through speculative execution.
Fixup register state as if the Safe-RET sequence executed successfully
by "emulating" it, in a manner of speaking, and avoid executing a RET
instruction after returning from the interrupt. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
reset: sunxi: fix memory region leak on ioremap failure
In sunxi_reset_init(), when ioremap() fails, the memory region obtained
via request_mem_region() is not released, leading to a resource leak.
Add an err_mem_region label to properly release the memory region before
freeing the data structure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: fix permanently busy scans after multiple roam iterations
In order for the firmware to sleep, the driver has to confirm a
previously received sleep request. The normal sequence of evets goes
like this:
EVENT_SLEEP -> adapter->ps_state = PS_STATE_PRE_SLEEP -> sleep-confirm
-> SLEEP -> EVENT_AWAKE -> AWAKE.
Before sending the sleep-confirm command, the driver must make sure
there are no commands either running or waiting to be completed.
mwifiex_ret_802_11_associate() unconditionally sets
ps_state = PS_STATE_AWAKE when it processes the association command
response, outside of the normal powersave management flow. If
EVENT_SLEEP arrives while the association command is in flight,
ps_state is PRE_SLEEP when the association command response is parsed,
and the forced AWAKE overwrites it. The deferred sleep-confirm is
never sent.
A subsequent scan_start command is correctly acknowledged, but the
firmware doesn't generate scan_result events. The scan request never
finishes, and additional requests from userspace fail with -EBUSY.
After testing on both IW412 and W8997, I could only trigger the bug on
the IW412 and observed the firmwares behave differently. On the IW412
the firmware still sends EVENT_SLEEP while the authentication /
association process is ongoing. A W8997 under the same
conditions seems to suppress power-save for the duration of the
association, so PRE_SLEEP never coincided with the association response
even after extended periods of testing using the loops
described below (>12hours).
On the IW412, the delay between commands that triggers an EVENT_SLEEP
was empirically determined to be ~20ms. This delay can naturally occur
when the driver is outputting debugging information
(debug_mask = 0x00000037), in which situation the busy scans issue is
repeatable while running "test 1)" as described below. If the delay
between commands is less than ~20ms, the firmware stays awake and
the issue was not reproducible running the same test.
The host_mlme=false path also behaves differently. In this case, the
entire authentication / association transaction is executed by one
command (HostCmd_CMD_802_11_ASSOCIATE), and the firmware doesn't emit
EVENT_SLEEP while the command is running.
Remove the assignment so the ps_state is only manipulated in the paths
that are related to powersave event handling and on the main workqueue
for correct sleep confirmation.
The following loop tests were performed (with debugging output enabled):
1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same
SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s
between iterations.
2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test
scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s
between iterations.
Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: atm: ueagle-atm: wait for pre-firmware load in .disconnect()
ueagle-atm uses the asynchronous request_firmware_nowait() in .probe(),
but does not wait for its completion, not even in .disconnect(); so, if the
device is unplugged meanwhile, its teardown runs concurrently with that.
Even though this inconsistency is worth addressing on its own, it has also
triggered several bug reports in syzbot over the years (some auto-closed)
where the firmware sysfs fallback mechanism (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER)
creates a firmware subdirectory in the device directory during its removal,
which might hit unexpected conditions in kernfs, apparently, depending at
which point the add and remove operations raced. (See links.)
The pattern is:
usb ?-?: Direct firmware load for ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw failed with error -2
usb ?-?: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: ueagle-atm/eagle?.fw
<ERROR>
Call trace:
...
kernfs_create_dir_ns

_request_firmware
request_firmware_work_func
...
(Some variations are observed, after fw_load_sysfs_fallback(), e.g., [1].)
While the kernfs side is being looked at, the ueagle-atm side can be fixed
by waiting for the pre-firmware load in the .disconnect() handler.
This change has a similar approach to previous work by Andrey Tsygunka [2]
(wait_for_completion() in .disconnect()), but it is relatively different in
design/implementation; using the Originally-by tag for credit assignment.
This has been tested with:
- synthetic reproducer to check the error path;
- USB gadget (virtual device) to check the firmware upload path;
- QEMU device emulator to check the device ID re-enumeration path;
(The latter two were written by Claude; no other code/text in this commit.)

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: free mapping node on duplicate reloc root insert
__add_reloc_root() allocates a mapping_node before inserting it into
rc->reloc_root_tree. If rb_simple_insert() finds an existing entry, it
returns the existing rb_node and leaves the newly allocated node unlinked.
The error path then returns -EEXIST without freeing the new node. Since
the node was never inserted into reloc_root_tree, the later cleanup in
put_reloc_control() cannot find it either.
Free the newly allocated node before returning -EEXIST.
The callers currently assert that -EEXIST should not happen, so this is a
defensive cleanup for an unexpected duplicate insert path. If the path is
ever reached, the local allocation should still be released. |

firmware: arm_ffa: Fix NULL dereference in ffa_partition_info_get()
ffa_partition_info_get() passes uuid_str directly to uuid_parse()
without a NULL check. When a caller passes NULL, uuid_parse() ->
__uuid_parse() -> uuid_is_valid() dereferences the pointer, causing
a kernel panic:
| Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
| 0000000000000040
| pc : uuid_parse+0x40/0xac
| lr : ffa_partition_info_get+0x1c/0x94 [arm_ffa]
Add a NULL guard before uuid_parse() so a NULL argument returns
-ENODEV instead of crashing. Callers are expected to always supply
a valid partition UUID, so NULL is not a supported input. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_mid: Fix NULL function pointer dereference on DNV/ICX-D/SNR platforms
Commit b1b4efea05a5 ("serial: 8250_mid: Disable DMA for selected
platforms") replaced the dnv_board setup and exit callbacks with
PTR_IF(false, ...), which evaluates to NULL. However, the three call
sites in mid8250_probe() and mid8250_remove() unconditionally
dereference these function pointers without NULL checks, causing a NULL
pointer dereference (kernel oops) on any Denverton (DNV), Ice Lake Xeon
D (ICX-D/CDF), or Snowridge (SNR) platform.
Fix this by adding the missing NULL checks before calling the setup and
exit callbacks. |

drm/amdgpu/gfx8: drop unecessary BUG_ON()
There's no need to crash the kernel for this case.
(cherry picked from commit 4d7c25208ca612b754f3bf39e9f16e725b828891) |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/dp_mst: Handle torn-down topology gracefully in drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe()
A hotplug or link-loss event can tear down the MST topology
(setting mgr->mst_state = false and mgr->mst_primary = NULL) concurrently
with a caller invoking drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe(). Since the check
is already performed under mgr->lock, the condition is not a programming
error but a valid race -- the topology was valid when the caller decided
to call this function, but was torn down before the lock was acquired.
Replace the drm_WARN_ON() with a graceful early return. This eliminates
spurious kernel warnings and the resulting compositor crashes observed
when connecting/disconnecting DP MST monitors, while keeping the correct
behavior of doing nothing when MST is not active. A drm_dbg_mst() trace
is added so the skipped probe remains observable under MST debug logging.
The existing WARN_ON(mgr->mst_primary) in drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_set_mst()
already catches the case where the topology is initialized twice, so no
diagnostic coverage is lost. |

KVM: x86/mmu: Fix use-after-free on vendor module reload
mmu_destroy_caches() destroys pte_list_desc_cache and
mmu_page_header_cache, but leaves both pointers unchanged. The pointers
live in kvm.ko, and therefore survive when a vendor module is unloaded
while kvm.ko remains loaded.
If creation of pte_list_desc_cache fails during a subsequent vendor
module load, its assignment sets pte_list_desc_cache to NULL and the
error path calls mmu_destroy_caches(). mmu_page_header_cache still
points to the cache destroyed during the preceding vendor module
unload. Passing that stale pointer to kmem_cache_destroy() causes a
slab use-after-free.
Reproduce the issue on a v7.1.3 kernel with CONFIG_KASAN=y,
CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC=y, CONFIG_KVM=m, and CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m. A
one-shot test hook forces pte_list_desc_cache to NULL on the second
invocation of kvm_mmu_vendor_module_init():
1. Load kvm.ko and kvm-intel.ko, creating both caches.
2. Unload only kvm_intel, leaving kvm.ko loaded.
3. Reload kvm_intel and force initialization through the -ENOMEM path.

safe.
With the fix applied, the same injected vendor module reload fails with
-ENOMEM as expected and produces no KASAN report. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix root leak if its reloc root is unexpected in merge_reloc_roots()
If we have an unexpected reloc_root for our root, we jump to the out label
but never drop the reference we obtained for root, resulting in a leak.
Add a missing btrfs_put_root() call. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: fix double free and WARN_ON in add_mtd_device() error paths
When device_register() or mtd_nvmem_add() fails inside
add_mtd_device() for a partition, the error handling triggers
mtd_release() via put_device() or device_unregister(). mtd_release()
calls release_mtd_partition() which frees the mtd_info structure.
However, callers such as mtd_add_partition() and add_mtd_partitions()
also call free_partition() in their error paths, resulting in a double
free.
Additionally, release_mtd_partition() hits WARN_ON(!list_empty(
&mtd->part.node)) because the partition node is still linked in the
parent's partitions list when the release callback fires from the
add_mtd_device() error path.
Fix this by overriding dev->type and dev->release before put_device()
in the error paths, so that device_release() invokes a no-op function
instead of mtd_release(). For the mtd_nvmem_add() failure case,
device_unregister() is replaced with device_del() to separate the
device removal from the final kobject reference drop, allowing the
override to take effect before put_device() is called.
The callers' error paths (list_del + free_partition) remain the sole
owners of mtd_info lifetime on add_mtd_device() failure, which is the
expected contract.
The normal partition teardown path is not affected: del_mtd_device()
goes through kref_put() -> mtd_device_release() -> device_unregister()
with dev->type still set to &mtd_devtype, so mtd_release() ->
release_mtd_partition() continues to work correctly for the regular
removal case. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ipw2100: fix potential memory leak in ipw2100_pci_init_one()
The memory allocated in the ipw2100_alloc_device() function is not freed
in some of the error paths in ipw2100_pci_init_one(). Fix that by
converting the direct return into a goto to the error path return.
The error path when pci_enable_device() fails cannot jump to fail, since
at this point priv is not set, so perform error handling inline. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libertas: fix memory leak in helper_firmware_cb()
helper_firmware_cb() neglects to free the single-stage firmware image
after a successful async load, leading to a memory leak in the USB
firmware-download path.
Fix this memory leak by calling release_firmware() immediately after
lbs_fw_loaded() returns.
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
the current wireless tree.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have
compatible Libertas USB hardware for exercising this firmware-download
path, no runtime testing was able to be performed. |

wifi: cfg80211: validate PMSR FTM preamble range

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: free AP_VLAN bc_buf SKBs outside IRQ lock
ieee80211_do_stop() removes AP_VLAN packets from the parent AP
ps->bc_buf while holding ps->bc_buf.lock with IRQs disabled. It then
calls ieee80211_free_txskb() before dropping the lock.
ieee80211_free_txskb() is not just a passive SKB release. For SKBs with
TX status state it can report a dropped frame through cfg80211/nl80211,
and that path can reach netlink tap transmit. This is the same reason
the pending queue cleanup in ieee80211_do_stop() already unlinks SKBs
under the queue lock and frees them after IRQ state is restored.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
AP_VLAN management TX: AP_VLAN stop:
1. attach ACK-status state 1. clear the running state
2. queue a multicast SKB on 2. take ps->bc_buf.lock with IRQs
parent ps->bc_buf disabled
3. unlink the AP_VLAN SKB
4. call ieee80211_free_txskb()
Unlink matching AP_VLAN SKBs from ps->bc_buf under the existing lock,
but move them to a local free queue. Drop the lock and restore IRQ state
before calling ieee80211_free_txskb().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: initialize SDIO data work before cleanup
brcmf_sdio_probe() stores the newly allocated bus in sdiodev->bus before
allocating the ordered workqueue. If that allocation fails, the function
jumps to fail and calls brcmf_sdio_remove().
brcmf_sdio_remove() unconditionally cancels bus->datawork. Initialize the
work item before the first failure path that can reach brcmf_sdio_remove(),
so the cleanup path always observes a valid work object.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by
manual review of the probe error path and the remove-time work drain. The
problem pattern is an early setup failure that reaches a cleanup helper
which cancels an embedded work item before its initializer has run.
A QEMU PoC forced alloc_ordered_workqueue() to fail at the same point in
brcmf_sdio_probe(), before INIT_WORK(&bus->datawork) is reached. The
resulting fail path calls brcmf_sdio_remove(), and DEBUG_OBJECTS reports
the invalid work drain with brcmf_sdio_probe() and brcmf_sdio_remove() in
the stack. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: wake eh reliably when using scsi_schedule_eh
Drivers which use the scsi_schedule_eh function to run the error handler
currently risk the error handler thread never waking once all commands are
timed out or inactive. There is no enforced memory order between setting
the host into error recovery state and counting busy commands. This can
result in a race with scsi_dec_host_busy where neither CPU sees both
conditions of all commands inactive and the host error state to request
waking the error handler.
To fix this, run the scsi_schedule_eh's scsi_eh_wakeup from a new work item
which will use rcu to ensure scsi_schedule_eh's call to scsi_host_busy will
occur after the error state is globally visible and will be seen by any
current scsi_dec_host_busy callers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Reject unhashed UDP sockets on sockmap update
UDP sockets get SOCK_RCU_FREE set when (auto-)bound. This means
sk_is_refcounted(unbound) = true, while sk_is_refcounted(bound) = false.
Because sockmap accepts unbound UDP sockets, a BPF program can increment a
socket's refcount via lookup. If the socket is subsequently bound, the
transition from unbound to bound causes bpf_sk_release() to skip the
decrement of the refcount, causing a memory leak.
