| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: ns: Fix use-after-free in driver remove()
In the remove callback, if a packet arrives after destroy_workqueue() is
called, but before sock_release(), the qrtr_ns_data_ready() callback will
try to queue the work, causing use-after-free issue.
Fix this issue by saving the default 'sk_data_ready' callback during
qrtr_ns_init() and use it to replace the qrtr_ns_data_ready() callback at
the start of remove(). This ensures that even if a packet arrives after
destroy_workqueue(), the work struct will not be dereferenced.
Note that it is also required to ensure that the RX threads are completed
before destroying the workqueue, because the threads could be using the
qrtr_ns_data_ready() callback. |

thermal: core: Fix thermal zone governor cleanup issues
If thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() fails after adding
a thermal governor to the thermal zone being registered, the
governor is not removed from it as appropriate which may lead to
a memory leak.
In turn, thermal_zone_device_unregister() calls thermal_set_governor()
without acquiring the thermal zone lock beforehand which may race with
a governor update via sysfs and may lead to a use-after-free in that
case.
Address these issues by adding two thermal_set_governor() calls, one to
thermal_release() to remove the governor from the given thermal zone,
and one to the thermal zone registration error path to cover failures
preceding the thermal zone device registration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: Handle probe errors properly
The probe procedure of setup_card() in caiaq driver doesn't treat the
error cases gracefully, e.g. the error from snd_card_register() calls
snd_card_free() but continues. This would lead to a UAF for the
further calls like snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(), as Berk suggested in
another patch in the link below.
However, the problem is not only that; in general, this function drops
the all error handlings (as it's a void function) although its caller
can propagate an error to snd_probe(), which eventually calls
snd_card_free() as a proper error path. That said, we should treat
each error case in setup_card(), and just return the error code
promptly, which is then handled later as a fatal error in snd_probe().
This patch achieves it by changing the setup_card() to return an error
code. Also, the superfluous snd_card_free() call is removed, too.
Note that card->private_free can be set still safely at returning an
error. All called functions in card_free() have checks of the
unassigned resources or NULL checks. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix potential UAF after skb_unshare() failure
If skb_unshare() fails to unshare a packet due to allocation failure in
rxrpc_input_packet(), the skb pointer in the parent (rxrpc_io_thread())
will be NULL'd out. This will likely cause the call to
trace_rxrpc_rx_done() to oops.
Fix this by moving the unsharing down to where rxrpc_input_call_event()
calls rxrpc_input_call_packet(). There are a number of places prior to
that where we ignore DATA packets for a variety of reasons (such as the
call already being complete) for which an unshare is then avoided.
And with that, rxrpc_input_packet() doesn't need to take a pointer to the
pointer to the packet, so change that to just a pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Fix potential UAF in reqsk_timer_handler().
When TCP socket migration fails at inet_ehash_insert() in
reqsk_timer_handler(), we jump to the no_ownership: label
and free the new reqsk immediately with __reqsk_free().
Thus, we must stop the new reqsk's timer before jumping to the
label, but the timer might be missed since the cited commit,
resulting in UAF.
As we are in the original reqsk's timer context, we can safely
call timer_delete_sync() for the new reqsk.
Let's pass false to __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() to stop
the new reqsk's timer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate_device: clear stale mapping after freeing swapcache
__migrate_device_pages() reads the folio mapping before calling
folio_free_swap(). When folio_free_swap() succeeds, the folio is removed
from the swap cache, but the saved mapping still points to swap_space.
Passing the stale mapping to folio_migrate_mapping() makes it use the
mapped-folio path for a folio that is no longer in swapcache. It can then
operate on swap_space.i_pages with invalid reference accounting,
eventually triggering a folio reference count BUG.
After a successful split, nr still contains the number of pages in the
original large folio, although each resulting page is now a separate
order-0 folio. Reset nr to 1 so each split folio is processed separately,
including its own swapcache removal and mapping lookup.
Refresh the saved mapping after folio_free_swap() so the current folio
state is used during migration. |

netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: use conntrack GC to reap expectations
This patch replaces the timer API by GC worker approach for
expectations, as it already happened in many other subsystems.
Use the existing conntrack GC worker to iterate over the local list of
expectations in the master conntrack to reap expired expectations.
Check IPS_HELPER_BIT to run GC for expectations, set it on for nft_ct
expectation which nevers sets it. Hold the expectation spinlock while
iterating over the master conntrack expectation list to synchronize with
nf_ct_remove_expectations(). This also performs runtime packet path
garbage collection through the expectation insertion and lookup
functions while walking over one of the chains of the global expectation
hashtables. Unconfirmed conntrack entries are skipped since ct->ext can
be reallocated and dying are skipped since those will be gone soon.
Set on IPS_HELPER_BIT if the helper ct extension is added, then the new
GC worker does not need to bump the ct refcount to check if the ct->ext
helper is available.
This removes the extra bump on the refcount for expectation timers, this
allows to remove several nf_ct_expect_put() calls after the unlink,
after this update only refcount remains at 1 while on the expectation
hashes.
This patch implicitly addresses a race with the existing timer API
allowing an expectation to access a stale exp->master pointer which has
been already released when expectation removal loses races with an
expiring timer, ie. timer_del() reporting false.
Add a new NF_CT_EXPECT_DEAD flag to reap this expectation via GC. This
is needed by nf_conntrack_unexpect_related() which is called in error
paths to invalidate newly created expectations that has been added into
the hashes. These expectactions cannot be inmediately released as GC or
nf_ct_remove_expectations() could race to make it. On expectation
insert, the runtime GC reaps stale expectations before checking the
expectation limit set by policy.
Set current timestamp in nf_ct_expect_alloc(), then add the expectation
policy timeout (or custom timeout specified added on top of this) to
specify the expectation lifetime. |

net: hns3: fix double free issue for tx spare buffer
In hns3_set_ringparam(), a temporary copy (tmp_rings) of the ring structure
is created for rollback. However, the tx_spare pointer in the original
ring handle is incorrectly left pointing to the old backup memory.
Later, if memory allocation fails in hns3_init_all_ring() during the setup,
the error path attempts to free all newly allocated rings. Since tx_spare
contains a stale (non-NULL) pointer from the backup, it is mistaken for
a newly allocated buffer and is erroneously freed, leading to a double-free
of the backup memory.
The root cause is that the tx_spare field was not cleared after its value
was saved in tmp_rings, leaving a dangling pointer.
Fix this by setting tx_spare to NULL in the original ring structure
when the creation of the new `tx_spare` fails. This ensures the
error cleanup path only frees genuinely newly allocated buffers. |

scsi: mpi3mr: Add NULL checks when resetting request and reply queues
The driver encountered a crash during resource cleanup when the reply and
request queues were NULL due to freed memory. This issue occurred when the
creation of reply or request queues failed, and the driver freed the memory
first, but attempted to mem set the content of the freed memory, leading to
a system crash.
Add NULL pointer checks for reply and request queues before accessing the
reply/request memory during cleanup |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mana: Null service_wq on setup error to prevent double destroy
In mana_gd_setup() error path, set gc->service_wq to NULL after
destroy_workqueue() to match the cleanup in mana_gd_cleanup().
This prevents a use-after-free if the workqueue pointer is checked
after a failed setup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/bitmap: fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race
A General Protection Fault occurs in write_page() during array resize:
RIP: 0010:write_page+0x22b/0x3c0 [md_mod]
This is a use-after-free race between bitmap_daemon_work() and
__bitmap_resize(). The daemon iterates over `bitmap->storage.filemap`
without locking, while the resize path frees that storage via
md_bitmap_file_unmap(). `quiesce()` does not stop the md thread,
allowing concurrent access to freed pages.
Fix by holding `mddev->bitmap_info.mutex` during the bitmap update. |

Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix list corruption and UAF in command complete handlers
Commit 302a1f674c00 ("Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix possible UAFs") introduced
mgmt_pending_valid(), which not only validates the pending command but
also unlinks it from the pending list if it is valid. This change in
semantics requires updates to several completion handlers to avoid list
corruption and memory safety issues.
This patch addresses two left-over issues from the aforementioned rework:
1. In mgmt_add_adv_patterns_monitor_complete(), mgmt_pending_remove()
is replaced with mgmt_pending_free() in the success path. Since
mgmt_pending_valid() already unlinks the command at the beginning of
the function, calling mgmt_pending_remove() leads to a double list_del()
and subsequent list corruption/kernel panic.
2. In set_mesh_complete(), the use of mgmt_pending_foreach() in the error
path is removed. Since the current command is already unlinked by
mgmt_pending_valid(), this foreach loop would incorrectly target other
pending mesh commands, potentially freeing them while they are still being
processed concurrently (leading to UAFs). The redundant mgmt_cmd_status()
is also simplified to use cmd->opcode directly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: lec: fix use-after-free in sock_def_readable()
A race condition exists between lec_atm_close() setting priv->lecd
to NULL and concurrent access to priv->lecd in send_to_lecd(),
lec_handle_bridge(), and lec_atm_send(). When the socket is freed
via RCU while another thread is still using it, a use-after-free
occurs in sock_def_readable() when accessing the socket's wait queue.
The root cause is that lec_atm_close() clears priv->lecd without
any synchronization, while callers dereference priv->lecd without
any protection against concurrent teardown.
Fix this by converting priv->lecd to an RCU-protected pointer:
- Mark priv->lecd as __rcu in lec.h
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() in lec_atm_close() and lecd_attach()
for safe pointer assignment
- Use rcu_access_pointer() for NULL checks that do not dereference
the pointer in lec_start_xmit(), lec_push(), send_to_lecd() and
lecd_attach()
- Use rcu_read_lock/rcu_dereference/rcu_read_unlock in send_to_lecd(),
lec_handle_bridge() and lec_atm_send() to safely access lecd
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() followed by synchronize_rcu() in
lec_atm_close() to ensure all readers have completed before
proceeding. This is safe since lec_atm_close() is called from
vcc_release() which holds lock_sock(), a sleeping lock.
- Remove the manual sk_receive_queue drain from lec_atm_close()
since vcc_destroy_socket() already drains it after lec_atm_close()
returns.
v2: Switch from spinlock + sock_hold/put approach to RCU to properly
fix the race. The v1 spinlock approach had two issues pointed out
by Eric Dumazet:
1. priv->lecd was still accessed directly after releasing the
lock instead of using a local copy.
2. The spinlock did not prevent packets being queued after
lec_atm_close() drains sk_receive_queue since timer and
workqueue paths bypass netif_stop_queue().
Note: Syzbot patch testing was attempted but the test VM terminated
unexpectedly with "Connection to localhost closed by remote host",
likely due to a QEMU AHCI emulation issue unrelated to this fix.
Compile testing with "make W=1 net/atm/lec.o" passes cleanly. |

HID: logitech-hidpp: Prevent use-after-free on force feedback initialisation failure
Presently, if the force feedback initialisation fails when probing the
Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox One, an error number
will be returned and propagated before the userspace infrastructure
(sysfs and /dev/input) has been torn down. If userspace ignores the
errors and continues to use its references to these dangling entities, a
UAF will promptly follow.
We have 2 options; continue to return the error, but ensure that all of
the infrastructure is torn down accordingly or continue to treat this
condition as a warning by emitting the message but returning success.
It is thought that the original author's intention was to emit the
warning but keep the device functional, less the force feedback feature,
so let's go with that. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: take a reference on the USB device in create_card()
The caiaq driver stores a pointer to the parent USB device in
cdev->chip.dev but never takes a reference on it. The card's
private_free callback, snd_usb_caiaq_card_free(), can run
asynchronously via snd_card_free_when_closed() after the USB
device has already been disconnected and freed, so any access to
cdev->chip.dev in that path dereferences a freed usb_device.
On top of the refcounting issue, the current card_free implementation
calls usb_reset_device(cdev->chip.dev). A reset in a free callback
is inappropriate: the device is going away, the call takes the
device lock in a teardown context, and the reset races with the
disconnect path that the callback is already cleaning up after.
Take a reference on the USB device in create_card() with
usb_get_dev(), drop it with usb_put_dev() in the free callback,
and remove the usb_reset_device() call. |
| A flaw was found in sssd. When authenticating with a YubiKey, the SSSD PAM responder can crash due to a use-after-free vulnerability, where a memory pointer is incorrectly handled. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by manipulating smartcard or YubiKey contents, leading to a denial of service that disrupts authentication. This vulnerability also presents a potential for privilege escalation, although it is difficult to exploit. |
| A flaw was found in GCC. When an application calls the erase_if function on a binary heap priority queue in libstdc++, the library reallocates storage but fails to update its internal entry pointer. An attacker capable of triggering this operation can exploit this use-after-free condition, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) via an application crash or potential memory corruption. |
| A flaw was found in DPDK lib/vhost vhost-crypto. Session cleanup can leave a stale cached session pointer, and the data path does not check the session type before attaching it, leading to use-after-free or type confusion in the host vhost-crypto backend. |
| FastNetMon is a high-performance DDoS detector and sensor. In version 1.2.9 and earlier, peer_find_template() in src/netflow_plugin/netflow_collector.cpp and src/netflow_plugin/netflow_v9_collector.cpp returns a pointer into global_netflow9_templates after releasing the cache mutex. On deployments with at least two entries in netflow_ports, concurrent template redefinition and data-flowset processing can let add_update_peer_template() reassign the template and free its records vector while another listener dereferences the escaped pointer. An unauthenticated sender that can reach both NetFlow/IPFIX listener ports can trigger a heap-use-after-free and reliably crash FastNetMon. No fixed release is available as of this review. |

futex: Clear stale exiting pointer in futex_lock_pi() retry path
Fuzzying/stressing futexes triggered:
WARNING: kernel/futex/core.c:825 at wait_for_owner_exiting+0x7a/0x80, CPU#11: futex_lock_pi_s/524

and stores a refcounted task pointer in 'exiting'.
After wait_for_owner_exiting() consumes that reference, the local pointer

different error, the bogus pointer is passed to wait_for_owner_exiting().
