| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: retrieve ethhdr after potential skb realloc on RX
pskb_may_pull() in batadv_interface_rx() could reallocate the buffer behind
the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer need to be
reassigned to avoid an use-after-free.
This was done correctly for the VLAN header but missed for the ethernet
header which is later used for the TT and AP isolation handling. |

smb: client: fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO
Commit c68337442f03 ("cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting") fixed
the issue in cifs where deferred close of a file led to a dentry reference
count not being released in umount, by flushing deferredclose_wq in
cifs_kill_sb() to solve it.
However, the cifs DIO path suffers from the same busy-dentry problem caused
by a delayed dentry reference-count release:

If the umount path is triggered before [5], it results warning:
BUG: Dentry 00000000eab1f070{i=9a917b66ae404fec,n=test} still in use (1)
[unmount of cifs cifs]
The existing per-inode ictx->io_count wait in cifs_evict_inode() does not
help: it lives in the inode eviction path, which runs after
shrink_dcache_for_umount() has already warned about the busy dentries.
Fix it by adding a per-superblock outstanding-rreq counter that is
incremented in cifs_init_request() and decremented in cifs_free_request().
In cifs_kill_sb(), before kill_anon_super(), wait for this counter to reach
0 - which guarantees that all cleanup_work for this sb have run and thus
all relevant cfile puts are queued on fileinfo_put_wq or serverclose_wq.
Then drain the workqueue so the dentry refs are dropped.
This is a targeted wait, not a flush of the system-wide system_dfl_wq. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: igmp: Fix potential UAF in igmp_gq_start_timer()
A race condition exists between device teardown (inetdev_destroy) and
incoming IGMP query processing (igmp_rcv), leading to a Use-After-Free
in the IGMP timer callback.
During device destruction, inetdev_destroy() drops the primary reference
to in_device, which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of
in_device memory is deferred via RCU (using call_rcu()).
Concurrently, igmp_rcv() runs under RCU read lock and obtains the
in_device pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can safely
dereference in_device even if its refcount has hit 0.
However, if CPU-0 calls igmp_gq_start_timer() and re-arms the timer, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the in_device memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period (as the free callback does not check the refcount again),
the device is freed while the timer is still armed. When the timer
expires, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.
Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not arm the timer.
A similar issue in IPv6 MLD is fixed in a subsequent patch. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: fail attrlist updates when the superblock is inactive
generic_shutdown_super() clears SB_ACTIVE before evicting cached inodes.
If eviction selects the fake inode for a base inode's unnamed
$ATTRIBUTE_LIST attribute, ntfs_evict_big_inode() drops the fake inode's
reference on the base inode while the fake inode is still hashed and marked
I_FREEING.
That iput can synchronously write back the base inode. The writeback path
may update mapping pairs and call ntfs_attrlist_update(), which
unconditionally calls ntfs_attr_iget() for the same $ATTRIBUTE_LIST fake
inode. VFS then finds the I_FREEING inode and waits for eviction to finish,
but the current task is still inside that eviction path, causing a
self-deadlock in find_inode().
Fix this by mirroring the teardown guard used by __ntfs_write_inode():
once SB_ACTIVE has been cleared, do not try to iget the attribute-list
fake inode. Return -EIO so teardown aborts the update instead of waiting on
the inode it is evicting. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: pin svc_xprt across the asynchronous TLS handshake callback
svc_tcp_handshake() stores the raw svc_xprt pointer in
tls_handshake_args.ta_data and submits the request through
tls_server_hello_x509(). The handshake core takes only
sock_hold(req->hr_sk); nothing references the embedding struct
svc_sock that svc_tcp_handshake_done() reaches via container_of().
Two close races leave the in-flight callback writing through a freed
svc_sock. svc_sock_free() calls tls_handshake_cancel() and discards
its return value: a false return means handshake_complete() has
already set HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED but hp_done() may not have
finished, yet svc_sock_free() proceeds to kfree(svsk). The
cancel-loser fall-through inside svc_tcp_handshake() itself produces
the same window: when wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()
returns <= 0 (timeout or signal) and tls_handshake_cancel() returns
false, the function does not drain, returns, and svc_handle_xprt()
calls svc_xprt_received(), which clears XPT_BUSY and can drop the
last reference. A concurrent close then runs svc_sock_free() while
svc_tcp_handshake_done() is still updating xpt_flags and walking
svsk->sk_handshake_done.
The corruption surfaces as set_bit/clear_bit RMW into the freed
xpt_flags slab slot and as complete_all() walking and writing the
freed wait_queue_head_t list embedded in sk_handshake_done -- a
slab-corruption primitive, not a benign read. The path is reachable
on any TLS-enabled NFS server whenever a connection close overlaps
the tlshd downcall delivery window; the interruptible wait means
signal delivery suffices, not just SVC_HANDSHAKE_TO expiry.
Take svc_xprt_get(xprt) immediately before tls_server_hello_x509()
so the in-flight callback owns its own reference. Release it on the
two edges where the callback is guaranteed not to fire -- submission
failure from tls_server_hello_x509() and a successful
tls_handshake_cancel() -- and at the tail of
svc_tcp_handshake_done() after complete_all().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: frag: free unfragmentable packet
The caller of batadv_frag_send_packet() assume that the skb provided to the
function are always consumed. But the pre-check for an empty payload or the
zero fragment size returned an error without any further actions.
A failed pre-check must use the same error handling code as the rest of the
function. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: bla: reacquire gw address after skb realloc
The pskb_may_pull() called by batadv_bla_is_backbone_gw() could reallocate
the buffer behind the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer
need to be reassigned to avoid an use-after-free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: slram: remove failed entries from the device list
register_device() links a new slram_mtdlist entry before allocating all
of the state needed by the entry. If a later allocation, memremap(), or
mtd_device_register() fails, the partially initialized entry remains on
the global list. A later cleanup can then dereference or free invalid
state from that failed entry.
Unwind the partially initialized entry and clear the list tail on each
failure path after the entry has been linked. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf,fork: wipe ->bpf_storage before bailouts that access it
Currently, copy_process() can bail out to free_task() before p->bpf_storage
has been initialized, with this call graph (shown here for the
!CONFIG_MEMCG case):
copy_process
dup_task_struct
arch_dup_task_struct
[copies the entire task_struct, including ->bpf_storage member]
[RLIMIT_NPROC check fails]
delayed_free_task
free_task
bpf_task_storage_free
rcu_dereference(task->bpf_storage)
bpf_local_storage_destroy
In this case, the nascent task's ->bpf_storage member that
bpf_local_storage_destroy() operates on is a plain copy of the parent's
->bpf_storage pointer, not a real initialized pointer.
This leads to badness (kernel hangs, UAF).
This is reachable as long as the process calling fork() has been inserted
into a task storage map. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/bpf-ops: reject re-registration of an already-bound ops
io_install_bpf() only rejects a second registration on the ctx side
(ctx->bpf_ops) and sets the per-map back-pointer ops->priv
unconditionally. The struct_ops link path never advances a map past
BPF_STRUCT_OPS_STATE_READY, so the same io_uring_bpf_ops map can be
registered more than once, and bpf_io_reg() re-resolves the target ring
via fget(ops->ring_fd) on every call. A caller can therefore point the
same ring_fd at a different io_ring_ctx between two BPF_LINK_CREATE
calls.
The second registration passes the ctx->bpf_ops check (the new ctx has
none) and overwrites ops->priv, orphaning the first ctx. Teardown
(io_eject_bpf()/bpf_io_unreg()) only reaches a ctx through ops->priv, so
the orphaned ctx is never torn down: its ctx->loop_step keeps pointing
into the struct_ops trampoline, which is freed once the map is gone. A
later io_uring_enter() on the orphaned ring then calls the dangling
ctx->loop_step from io_run_loop() -- a use-after-free of freed
executable memory, reachable by a task with CAP_BPF + CAP_PERFMON.
Reject registration when ops->priv is already set, as hid_bpf_reg()
does for its struct_ops. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: defer rx_op deallocation to workqueue to fix thrtimer UAF
Commit f1b4e32aca08 ("can: bcm: use call_rcu() instead of costly
synchronize_rcu()") replaced synchronize_rcu() in bcm_delete_rx_op()
with call_rcu() and introduced the RX_NO_AUTOTIMER flag.
However, this flag check was omitted for thrtimer in the packet rx
fast-path. During BCM RX operation teardown, a concurrent RCU reader
(bcm_rx_handler) can race and re-arm thrtimer via
bcm_rx_update_and_send() after call_rcu() has been scheduled. Once
the RCU grace period elapses, bcm_op is freed. The subsequently
firing thrtimer then dereferences the deallocated op, causing a UAF.
Adding flag checks to the rx fast-path (bcm_rx_update_and_send) does not
fully close the TOCTOU race and introduces latency for every CAN frame.
Conversely, calling hrtimer_cancel() directly inside the RCU callback
(softirq context) is fatal as hrtimer_cancel() can sleep, triggering
a "scheduling while atomic" panic.
Resolve this by deferring the timer cancellation and memory free to a
dedicated unbound workqueue (bcm_wq). The RCU callback now queues a
work item to bcm_wq, which safely cancels both timers and deallocates
memory in sleepable process context. A dedicated workqueue is used to
prevent system-wide WQ saturation and is cleanly flushed/destroyed
on module unload to avoid rmmod page faults.
Since the deferred work can now outlive the calling context by an
unbounded amount, also take a reference on op->sk when it is assigned
and drop it only once the deferred work has cancelled both timers, so a
socket can no longer be freed out from under a still-armed timer whose
callback (bcm_send_to_user()) dereferences op->sk. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/gntdev: fix error handling in ioctl
When gntdev_ioctl_map_grant_ref() fails to copy the operation result
back to userspace after successfully adding the mapping to the list,
the error path returns -EFAULT without releasing the reference
acquired by gntdev_alloc_map(). The mapping remains in priv->maps
with a refcount of 1, causing a memory leak and a dangling list
entry.
Additionally, gntdev_add_map() may modify map->index to avoid overlap
with existing mappings. Therefore, the index returned to userspace
must be obtained after gntdev_add_map() completes.
Fix this by holding the mutex across gntdev_add_map(), retrieving
the correct index, and copy_to_user(). If copy_to_user() fails,
remove the mapping from the list and release the reference while
still holding the lock.
Fix these issues by properly handling all error cases. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: mlxbf: Fix use-after-free in mlxbf_i2c_init_resource()
If devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() returns an error,
mlxbf_i2c_init_resource() frees tmp_res before reading tmp_res->io to
get the error code. This results in a use-after-free.
Save the error code before freeing tmp_res. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/rt: Fix the incorrect RCU protection in rt_spin_unlock()
rt_spin_unlock() releases the RCU protection before unlocking the
lock. That opens the door for the following UAF scenario:
T1 T2
spin_lock(&p->lock); rcu_read_lock();
invalidate(p); p = rcu_dereference(ptr);
rcu_assign_pointer(ptr, NULL); if (!p) return;
spin_unlock(&p->lock); spin_lock(&p->lock)
lock(&lock->lock);
rcu_read_lock();
kfree_rcu(p); rcu_read_unlock();
....
spin_unlock(&p->lock)
rcu_read_unlock(); // Ends grace period
rcu_do_batch()
kfree(p);
UAF -> rt_mutex_cmpxchg_release(&lock->lock...)
Regular spinlocks keep preemption disabled accross the unlock operation,
which provides full RCU protection, but the RT substitution fails to
resemble that. Same applies for the rwlock substitution.
Move the rcu_read_unlock() invocation past the unlock operations to match
the non-RT semantics. This makes it asymmetric vs. rt_xxx_lock(), but
that's harmless as the caller needs to hold RCU read lock across the lock
operation. The migrate_enable() call stays before the unlock operation
because there is no per CPU operation in the unlock path which would
require migration to be kept disabled. |

wifi: libertas_tf: fix use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter()
lbtf_free_adapter() calls timer_delete(&priv->command_timer), which does
not wait for a running command_timer_fn() callback. lbtf_free_adapter()
runs on the teardown path right before ieee80211_free_hw() frees priv,
both in lbtf_remove_card() and in the probe error path. command_timer is
armed by mod_timer() in lbtf_cmd() whenever a firmware command is sent.
command_timer_fn() dereferences priv. If a command times out as the
device is removed, command_timer_fn() runs concurrently with teardown and
dereferences priv after it has been freed.
This is the same use-after-free that commit 03cc8f90d053 ("wifi: libertas:
fix use-after-free in lbs_free_adapter()") fixed in the sibling libertas
driver. The libertas_tf variant has the identical pattern and was left
unchanged. Use timer_delete_sync() so any in-flight callback completes
before priv is freed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/user_events: Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup()
user_event_mm_dup() walks the parent mm's enabler list locklessly under
rcu_read_lock() during fork() (from copy_process()); it does not take
event_mutex:
rcu_read_lock();
list_for_each_entry_rcu(enabler, &old_mm->enablers, mm_enablers_link)
enabler->event = user_event_get(orig->event);
user_event_enabler_destroy() removes an enabler from that list with
list_del_rcu() and then, without waiting for a grace period, drops the
enabler's user_event reference with user_event_put() and frees the enabler
with kfree(). A reader that loaded the enabler before the list_del_rcu()
can still be walking it, which leads to two use-after-frees:
- kfree(enabler) frees the enabler while that reader dereferences
enabler->event.
- user_event_put() may drop the last reference to the user_event, which
is then freed (via delayed_destroy_user_event() on a work queue), while
the same reader does user_event_get(orig->event) on it.
Both are reachable by an unprivileged task that can open user_events_data:
one multithreaded process that registers an enabler and then concurrently
unregisters it and calls fork() triggers the race. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() during clone(), with a
"refcount_t: addition on 0" warning when the user_event is freed.
The enabler use-after-free was found first; the user_event one was reported
by XIAO WU, and the earlier enabler-only fix did not address it.
Defer both the user_event_put() and the kfree(enabler) to a work item
queued with queue_rcu_work(), so they run only after an RCU grace period,
once all readers walking the enabler list have finished. The put must run
in process context because user_event_put() takes event_mutex on the last
reference, so a work queue is used rather than call_rcu(). The now-unlocked
put lets the locked argument of user_event_enabler_destroy() be removed;
all callers are updated. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/resctrl: Fix use-after-free during unmount
During unmount or failure teardown all mon_data structures that contain
monitoring event file private data are freed after which kernfs nodes are
removed. However, the RDT_DELETED flag is never set for the statically
allocated default resource group.
A concurrent reader of an event file associated with the default resource
group may, after dropping kernfs active protection, block on rdtgroup_mutex
while unmount proceeds to free the file private data and destroy the kernfs
node without waiting for the reader.
When the mutex is released, the reader wakes up, observes that RDT_DELETED
is not set for the default group, and dereferences the already-freed
file private data.
The scenario can be depicted as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
/*
* Default resource group's
* monitoring data accessible via
* kernfs file with kernfs_node::priv
* pointing to a struct mon_data.
* User opens the file for reading.
*/
rdtgroup_mondata_show() /* arch encounters fatal error */
rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() resctrl_exit()
atomic_inc(&rdtgroup_default.waitcount) cpus_read_lock()
kernfs_break_active_protection(kn) mutex_lock(&rdtgroup_mutex)
cpus_read_lock() resctrl_fs_teardown()
mutex_lock(&rdtgroup_mutex) rmdir_all_sub()
mon_put_kn_priv()
/* Delete all mon_data structures */
rdtgroup_destroy_root()
kernfs_destroy_root()
rdtgroup_default.kn = NULL
mutex_unlock(&rdtgroup_mutex)
/*
* rdtgroup_default.flags is empty so
* rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() returns
* &rdtgroup_default
*/
md = of->kn->priv;
/* md points to freed mon_data */
Set RDT_DELETED for the default group unconditionally since the flag does
not lead to the freeing of this statically allocated group.
Do not allow a new resctrl mount if there are any waiters on default group
of previous mount. A new mount will re-initialize the default group that
would appear to waiters from previous mount as though the default group is
accessible causing them to access the mon_data structures from the previous
mount that have been removed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: xen: scsiback: Free the command tag on the TMR submit-failure path
scsiback_device_action() obtains a command tag in
scsiback_get_pend_req() and submits a task-management request with
target_submit_tmr(). When target_submit_tmr() fails it returns < 0 and
scsiback jumps to the err: label, which sends a response but frees
nothing, leaking the tag.
Impact: a pvSCSI guest can leak the command tags of a LUN's session,
stopping the LUN, by issuing VSCSIIF_ACT_SCSI_ABORT or RESET requests
whenever target_submit_tmr() fails.
transport_generic_free_cmd() cannot be used here. By the time
target_submit_tmr() returns an error it has already run
__target_init_cmd() (so se_cmd->cmd_kref is one, not zero), and on its
target_get_sess_cmd() error path it has freed se_cmd->se_tmr_req via
core_tmr_release_req() while leaving SCF_SCSI_TMR_CDB set and the
pointer dangling. Letting the command release run target_free_cmd_mem()
would then double-free se_tmr_req.
Use the same helper, which returns just the tag, on this path too. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac802154: remove interfaces with RCU list deletion
Queue wake, stop, and disable paths walk local->interfaces under RCU.
The bulk hardware teardown path removes entries with list_del(), so an
asynchronous transmit completion can follow a poisoned list node in
ieee802154_wake_queue().
Use list_del_rcu() as in the single-interface removal path. The following
unregister_netdevice() waits for in-flight RCU readers before freeing the
netdevice, so no separate grace-period wait is needed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/resctrl: Fix double-add of pseudo-locked region's RMID to free list
A pseudo-locked group's RMID is freed when it is created. On unmount
rmdir_all_sub() unconditionally frees all RMID of all groups, resulting
in a double-free of the pseudo-locked group's RMID. The consequence of this
is that the original free results in the pseudo-locked group's RMID being
added to the rmid_free_lru linked list and the second free then attempts
to add the same RMID entry to the rmid_free_lru again.
Do not double-free a pseudo-locked group's RMID. |
