| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Make use of cached 'epc_features' in pci_epf_test_core_init()
Instead of getting the epc_features from pci_epc_get_features() API, use
the cached pci_epf_test::epc_features value to avoid the NULL check. Since
the NULL check is already performed in pci_epf_test_bind(), having one more
check in pci_epf_test_core_init() is redundant and it is not possible to
hit the NULL pointer dereference.
Also with commit a01e7214bef9 ("PCI: endpoint: Remove "core_init_notifier"
flag"), 'epc_features' got dereferenced without the NULL check, leading to
the following false positive Smatch warning:
drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c:784 pci_epf_test_core_init() error: we previously assumed 'epc_features' could be null (see line 747)
Thus, remove the redundant NULL check and also use the epc_features::
{msix_capable/msi_capable} flags directly to avoid local variables.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoc: PCM6240: Return directly after a failed devm_kzalloc() in pcmdevice_i2c_probe()
The value “-ENOMEM” was assigned to the local variable “ret”
in one if branch after a devm_kzalloc() call failed at the beginning.
This error code will trigger then a pcmdevice_remove() call with a passed
null pointer so that an undesirable dereference will be performed.
Thus return the appropriate error code directly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix a possible null pointer dereference
In function lpfc_xcvr_data_show, the memory allocation with kmalloc might
fail, thereby making rdp_context a null pointer. In the following context
and functions that use this pointer, there are dereferencing operations,
leading to null pointer dereference.
To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null,
use scnprintf to notify the user and return len. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kvm: s390: Reject memory region operations for ucontrol VMs
This change rejects the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 ioctls when called on a ucontrol VM.
This is necessary since ucontrol VMs have kvm->arch.gmap set to 0 and
would thus result in a null pointer dereference further in.
Memory management needs to be performed in userspace and using the
ioctls KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP and KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP.
Also improve s390 specific documentation for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
and KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl: fsl_qmc_audio: Check devm_kasprintf() returned value
devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure but this returned
value is not checked.
Fix this lack and check the returned value. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mediatek: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in dummy net_device handling
Move the freeing of the dummy net_device from mtk_free_dev() to
mtk_remove().
Previously, if alloc_netdev_dummy() failed in mtk_probe(),
eth->dummy_dev would be NULL. The error path would then call
mtk_free_dev(), which in turn called free_netdev() assuming dummy_dev
was allocated (but it was not), potentially causing a NULL pointer
dereference.
By moving free_netdev() to mtk_remove(), we ensure it's only called when
mtk_probe() has succeeded and dummy_dev is fully allocated. This
addresses a potential NULL pointer dereference detected by Smatch[1]. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: ma35d1: Add a NULL check for of_node
The pdev->dev.of_node can be NULL if the "serial" node is absent.
Add a NULL check to return an error in such cases. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: mark bpf_dummy_struct_ops.test_1 parameter as nullable
Test case dummy_st_ops/dummy_init_ret_value passes NULL as the first
parameter of the test_1() function. Mark this parameter as nullable to
make verifier aware of such possibility.
Otherwise, NULL check in the test_1() code:
SEC("struct_ops/test_1")
int BPF_PROG(test_1, struct bpf_dummy_ops_state *state)
{
if (!state)
return ...;
... access state ...
}
Might be removed by verifier, thus triggering NULL pointer dereference
under certain conditions. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: don't misleadingly warn during thaw operations
The block device may have been frozen before it was claimed by a
filesystem. Concurrently another process might try to mount that
frozen block device and has temporarily claimed the block device for
that purpose causing a concurrent fs_bdev_thaw() to end up here. The
mounter is already about to abort mounting because they still saw an
elevanted bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count so get_bdev_super() will return
NULL in that case.
For example, P1 calls dm_suspend() which calls into bdev_freeze() before
the block device has been claimed by the filesystem. This brings
bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count to 1 and no call into fs_bdev_freeze() is
required.
Now P2 tries to mount that frozen block device. It claims it and checks
bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count. As it's elevated it aborts mounting.
In the meantime P3 called dm_resume(). P3 sees that the block device is
already claimed by a filesystem and calls into fs_bdev_thaw().
P3 takes a passive reference and realizes that the filesystem isn't
ready yet. P3 puts itself to sleep to wait for the filesystem to become
ready.
P2 now puts the last active reference to the filesystem and marks it as
dying. P3 gets woken, sees that the filesystem is dying and
get_bdev_super() fails. |

thermal/drivers/mediatek/lvts_thermal: Check NULL ptr on lvts_data
Verify that lvts_data is not NULL before using it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix improper extts handling
Extts events are disabled and enabled by the application ts2phc.
However, in case where the driver is removed when the application is
running, a specific extts event remains enabled and can cause a kernel
crash.
As a side effect, when the driver is reloaded and application is started
again, remaining extts event for the channel from a previous run will
keep firing and the message "extts on unexpected channel" might be
printed to the user.
To avoid that, extts events shall be disabled when PTP is released. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-pci: Check if is_avq is NULL
[bug]
In the virtio_pci_common.c function vp_del_vqs, vp_dev->is_avq is involved
to determine whether it is admin virtqueue, but this function vp_dev->is_avq
may be empty. For installations, virtio_pci_legacy does not assign a value
to vp_dev->is_avq.
[fix]
Check whether it is vp_dev->is_avq before use.
[test]
Test with virsh Attach device
Before this patch, the following command would crash the guest system
After applying the patch, everything seems to be working fine. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Don't process extts if PTP is disabled
The ice_ptp_extts_event() function can race with ice_ptp_release() and
result in a NULL pointer dereference which leads to a kernel panic.
Panic occurs because the ice_ptp_extts_event() function calls
ptp_clock_event() with a NULL pointer. The ice driver has already
released the PTP clock by the time the interrupt for the next external
timestamp event occurs.
To fix this, modify the ice_ptp_extts_event() function to check the
PTP state and bail early if PTP is not ready. |

The cxl_nvd of the memdev needs to be available during the pmem region
probe. Currently the cxl_nvd is registered after the endpoint port probe.
The endpoint probe, in the case of autoassembly of regions, can cause a
pmem region probe requiring the not yet available cxl_nvd. Adjust the
sequence so this dependency is met.
This requires adding a port parameter to cxl_find_nvdimm_bridge() that
can be used to query the ancestor root port. The endpoint port is not
yet available, but will share a common ancestor with its parent, so
start the query from there instead. |

cxl/region: Avoid null pointer dereference in region lookup
cxl_dpa_to_region() looks up a region based on a memdev and DPA.
It wrongly assumes an endpoint found mapping the DPA is also of
a fully assembled region. When not true it leads to a null pointer
dereference looking up the region name.
This appears during testing of region lookup after a failure to
assemble a BIOS defined region or if the lookup raced with the
assembly of the BIOS defined region.
Failure to clean up BIOS defined regions that fail assembly is an
issue in itself and a fix to that problem will alleviate some of
the impact. It will not alleviate the race condition so let's harden
this path.
The behavior change is that the kernel oops due to a null pointer
dereference is replaced with a dev_dbg() message noting that an
endpoint was mapped.
Additional comments are added so that future users of this function
can more clearly understand what it provides. |
