| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix soft lockup polling continuation IOCB signature
qla27xx_copy_multiple_pkt() and qla27xx_copy_fpin_pkt() poll
rsp_q->ring_ptr->signature for RESPONSE_PROCESSED (0xDEADDEAD) to decide
whether the next continuation IOCB has arrived, spinning on cpu_relax()
without advancing the ring or decrementing the entry count while it has
not. response_t::signature lives at byte offset 60, but a continuation
IOCB (sts_cont_entry_t / struct sts_cont_entry_ext) carries raw FC frame
payload at that offset (data[56..59]). A received frame whose payload
bytes happen to equal 0xDEADDEAD is therefore misread as "not yet
arrived", and the loop spins forever in interrupt/DPC context, causing a
CPU soft lockup.
The poll is also unnecessary: callers of qla27xx_copy_multiple_pkt()
(PT_LS4_UNSOL and the NVMe purls path) already gate on
qla_chk_cont_iocb_avail(), which guarantees all entry_count IOCBs are
present before copying begins. The sibling helper
__qla_copy_purex_to_buffer() already drops the signature poll and relies
on the entry_type == STATUS_CONT_TYPE guard instead.
Remove the signature busy-wait from both helpers, keeping the entry_type
guard, and gate the FPIN path with qla_chk_cont_iocb_avail() so it defers
and re-processes on the next interrupt once all continuation IOCBs have
arrived, mirroring the ELS_AUTH_ELS and PT_LS4_UNSOL arms. With this the
signature field is never read on a continuation IOCB, eliminating the
payload-aliasing lockup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix handling of damaged volume in exfat_create_upcase_table()
When the size of the upcase table is set to zero in the dentry for any
reason(e.g. corrupted media or misbehaving device), an integer overflow
causes the module to loop indefinitely.
If the size of the upcase table is read zero, do not attempt to load the
table. Instead, fallback to loading the default upcase table. If the
size of the upcase table is zero or no upcase table is found, raise
exfat_fs_error() to mark the volume read-only. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
device property: fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node()
When iterate over children of a fwnode that has a secondary fwnode,
fwnode_get_next_child_node() can enter an infinite loop if the secondary
fwnode has more than one child.
Parent Child
(Primary fwnode) FWa: {FWa1, FWa2, FWa3}
(Secondary fwnode) FWb: {FWb1, FWb2}
In this case:
┌─> fwnode_get_next_child_node(FWa, FWa1)
│ - fwnode_call_ptr_op(FWa, get_next_child_node, FWa1) returns FWa2
│
│ ...
│
│ fwnode_get_next_child_node(FWa, FWa3)
│ - fwnode_call_ptr_op(FWa, get_next_child_node, FWa3) returns NULL
│ - fwnode_call_ptr_op(FWb, get_next_child_node, FWa3) returns FWb1
│
│ fwnode_get_next_child_node(FWa, FWb1)
│ - fwnode_call_ptr_op(FWa, get_next_child_node, FWb1) returns FWa1
└────┘
This cause fwnode_for_each_child_node() to loop indefinitely, reapeatedly
output {FWa1, FWa2, FWa3, FWb1, FWa1, ...}.
The root cause is that when the current child (FWb1) belongs to the
secondary fwnode, calling get_next_child_node() on the parimary fwnode
incorrectly returns the first child (FWa1) again instead of NULL.
Fix this by dynamically checking the parent fwnode of the current child
before calling get_next_child_node(). This approach follows the pattern
established in commit b5b41ab6b0c1 ("device property: Check
fwnode->secondary in fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint()"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: do not repeat ceph_trim_dentries() if no progress possible
ceph_cap_reclaim_work() re-queues itself for as long as
ceph_trim_dentries() returns -EAGAIN, which happens whenever a lease
walk exhausts its `nr_to_scan` budget. This creates a busy loop that
consumes CPU without making any progress when there is nothing to
reclaim: with no cap pressure (`count==0`) and every scanned lease
still valid, each pass runs the full scan budget down to zero and
returns `-EAGAIN`, only to be queued again immediately.
The dir-lease walk made this worse. When `expire_dir_lease` is
`false` (i.e. we have no intention of reclaiming dir leases),
__dir_lease_check() returned `TOUCH` for every valid lease. `TOUCH`
moves the dentry to the tail of the list and resets `di->time` via
__dentry_dir_lease_touch(), so a walk over N valid leases pointlessly
rewrote the list, refreshed the timestamps (preventing them from ever
aging out) and always drained `nr_to_scan`, guaranteeing the `-EAGAIN`
requeue.
Fix this in three steps:
- Return `KEEP` instead of `TOUCH` when `expire_dir_lease` is
`false`. If we are not going to reclaim the lease, leave it in
place instead of churning the list and resetting its timestamp; the
walk then terminates naturally (or via `STOP` at the first fresh
lease).
- Only return `-EAGAIN` from the first (dentry-lease) walk when something
was actually freed. A full batch that frees nothing means retrying
the same list immediately is futile; fall through to the dir-lease
walk instead.
- After both walks, bail out with success (0) when nothing was freed
and there is no cap pressure (`count==0`). There is no reason to
keep retrying when we are not over the cap limit and made no
progress.
Under real cap pressure (`count>0`) the reclaim path is unchanged and
still retries via `-EAGAIN`.
Without this patch, I saw 500 ceph_trim_dentries() calls per second on
our web servers. This is very visible in `/proc/lock_stat` (5 minute
capture):

ata: sata_dwc_460ex: fix infinite loop in NCQ tag completion bit-scanning
The hand-rolled bit-scanning loop in the NCQ completion path has an
infinite loop bug. When tag_mask has only high bits set (e.g.
0x80000000), the inner while loop left-shifts tag_mask until it
overflows to 0. At that point !(0 & 1) is always true and 0 <<= 1
stays 0, causing an infinite loop in hardirq context with a spinlock
held.
Replace the open-coded bit-scanning with __ffs() which correctly
finds the least significant set bit and is bounded by the width of
the argument. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/mst: limit DP MST ESI service loop
The loop in intel_dp_check_mst_status() keeps servicing interrupts
originating from the sink without bound. Add an upper bound to the new
interrupts occurring during interrupt processing to not get stuck on
potentially stuck sink devices. Use arbitrary 32 tries to clear incoming
interrupts in one go.
Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product
Security.
Note: The condition likely pre-dates the commit in the Fixes: tag, but
this is about as far back as a backport has any chance of
succeeding. Before that, the retry had a goto.

Commit b41642c87716 ("rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ work")
fixed the infinite loop in rcu_read_unlock_special() for IRQ work by
setting a flag before calling irq_work_queue_on(). We fix this issue by
setting the same flag before calling raise_softirq_irqoff() and rename the
flag to defer_qs_pending for more common. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: core: fix infinite loop in handle_tx() for PORT_UNKNOWN
uart_write_room() and uart_write() behave inconsistently when
xmit_buf is NULL (which happens for PORT_UNKNOWN ports that were
never properly initialized):
- uart_write_room() returns kfifo_avail() which can be > 0
- uart_write() checks xmit_buf and returns 0 if NULL
This inconsistency causes an infinite loop in drivers that rely on
tty_write_room() to determine if they can write:
while (tty_write_room(tty) > 0) {
written = tty->ops->write(...);
// written is always 0, loop never exits
}
For example, caif_serial's handle_tx() enters an infinite loop when
used with PORT_UNKNOWN serial ports, causing system hangs.
Fix by making uart_write_room() also check xmit_buf and return 0 if
it's NULL, consistent with uart_write().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Prevent tailcall infinite loop caused by freplace
There is a potential infinite loop issue that can occur when using a
combination of tail calls and freplace.
In an upcoming selftest, the attach target for entry_freplace of
tailcall_freplace.c is subprog_tc of tc_bpf2bpf.c, while the tail call in
entry_freplace leads to entry_tc. This results in an infinite loop:
entry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc.
The problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to
zero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism
to never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic.
To fix this issue, the solution is twofold:
1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a
prog_array map.
2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map
with an freplace program.
This ensures that:
* If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program,
it can no longer be updated to a prog_array map.
* If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its
subprograms can be extended by an freplace program.
Moreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return
-EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a
prog_array map.
Additionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a
tab for proper formatting. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate chunk length in the inqueue parser
SCTP chunks always include a four-byte generic header, but
sctp_inq_pop() currently accepts shorter declared lengths. A zero-length
chunk leaves chunk_end at the current header.
When ASCONF is covered by the association's SCTP-AUTH policy,
sctp_assoc_bh_rcv() can continue before the state machine performs its
normal chunk-length check. sctp_inq_pop() then returns the same malformed
chunk repeatedly and the receive softirq can lock up.
A remote SCTP peer can trigger this after establishing an association on
a kernel built with CONFIG_IP_SCTP and configured with
net.sctp.addip_enable=1 and net.sctp.auth_enable=1. The reproducer did
not require application credentials, a shared SCTP AUTH key, or
net.sctp.addip_noauth_enable=1.
On commit f967455fb2a5 ("seg6: reset IP6CB after IPv6 decapsulation"),
one zero-length ASCONF caused repeated
watchdog soft-lockup reports in a two-vCPU KVM guest. All 3 pre-trigger
health probes succeeded, while 36 of 37 post-trigger probes failed. With
this change, all 37 post-trigger probes succeeded and no equivalent
soft-lockup signature appeared.
Reject chunks shorter than the generic SCTP header at the shared inqueue
parser boundary. Mark the packet for discard before either caller can
continue processing it, while preserving the four-byte generic minimum.
Declared-length 1 through 4 controls and kernel-generated ASCONF traffic
remained healthy. The patched sctp_hello selftest passed for IPv4 and
IPv6.
The complete private reproducer and validation evidence are available
directly to maintainers on request. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/cancel: don't spin on local work the task can't run
io_uring_cancel_generic() refuses to sleep while any ring on the exiting
task's tctx has local work pending. It assumes the task is that ring's
submitter and that the next io_uring_try_cancel_requests() pass will run
the work. This does not hold for a ring that was still
IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED when the task got its tctx node from
io_uring_create() or io_ringfd_register(). The submitter is set later by
IORING_REGISTER_ENABLE_RINGS, possibly from another task, and only the
submitter may run local work on an IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN ring. To
the exiting task the work stays pending forever, the loop never reaches
schedule(), and the task trips the WARN_ON_ONCE() once and then spins in
do_exit().
An unprivileged user can set this up at will by creating a disabled
ring, having a child enable it and stop, posting to the ring with
IORING_OP_MSG_RING and exiting with a request in flight that only the
child can complete. The exiting thread burns a CPU until the child runs
or dies, and with panic_on_warn set the WARN panics the kernel.
Fix by skipping the sleep only when io_allowed_defer_tw_run() allows the
task to run the work. This is reasonable since work it cannot run cannot
complete any of its requests either, so nothing is lost by sleeping.
Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE() since handing a disabled ring to another thread
is a supported scenario, not a bug state. |

scsi: scsi_transport_fc: Widen FPIN pname walker counter to u32
An adjacent Fibre Channel fabric actor that can deliver an FPIN ELS
frame to an lpfc or qla2xxx Linux initiator can trigger a non-return in
the generic FC transport. This is not a local userspace or IP network
path; the attacker must be able to inject fabric traffic, for example as
a compromised switch or fabric controller, or as a same-zone N_Port on a
fabric that permits source spoofing.
The Link-Integrity and Peer-Congestion FPIN walkers used a u8 loop
counter against the 32-bit on-wire pname_count field, and did not bound
pname_count by the descriptor body already validated by the TLV walker.
A pname_count of 256 therefore wraps the counter and keeps the loop
condition true indefinitely.
Factor the shared pname_list[] walk into one helper, widen the counter
to u32, and clamp pname_count against the entries that fit in the
descriptor body before iterating. |

net: stmmac: dwmac1000: clear the RGMII status interrupt
Since commit 2e2c878a3141 ("net: stmmac: remove SGMII/RGMII/SMII
interrupt handling") nothing on the RGMII path reads GMAC_RGSMIIIS, so
RGSMIIIS stays pending behind GMAC_INT_MASK from the first link change
on. stmmac_resume() resets the MAC in stmmac_hw_setup(); the reset sets
GMAC_INT_MASK to 0 until dwmac1000_core_init() writes the mask again,
and the pending status storms the line:
