In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/resctrl: Fix allocation of cleanest CLOSID on platforms with no monitors
Commit
6eac36bb9eb0 ("x86/resctrl: Allocate the cleanest CLOSID by searching closid_num_dirty_rmid")
added logic that causes resctrl to search for the CLOSID with the fewest dirty
cache lines when creating a new control group, if requested by the arch code.
This depends on the values read from the llc_occupancy counters. The logic is
applicable to architectures where the CLOSID effectively forms part of the
monitoring identifier and so do not allow complete freedom to choose an unused
monitoring identifier for a given CLOSID.
This support missed that some platforms may not have these counters. This
causes a NULL pointer dereference when creating a new control group as the
array was not allocated by dom_data_init().
As this feature isn't necessary on platforms that don't have cache occupancy
monitors, add this to the check that occurs when a new control group is
allocated. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: fix NULL dereferences in ef100_process_design_param()
Since cited commit, ef100_probe_main() and hence also
ef100_check_design_params() run before efx->net_dev is created;
consequently, we cannot netif_set_tso_max_size() or _segs() at this
point.
Move those netif calls to ef100_probe_netdev(), and also replace
netif_err within the design params code with pci_err. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Purge vif txq in ieee80211_do_stop()
After ieee80211_do_stop() SKB from vif's txq could still be processed.
Indeed another concurrent vif schedule_and_wake_txq call could cause
those packets to be dequeued (see ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue())
without checking the sdata current state.
Because vif.drv_priv is now cleared in this function, this could lead to
driver crash.
For example in ath12k, ahvif is store in vif.drv_priv. Thus if
ath12k_mac_op_tx() is called after ieee80211_do_stop(), ahvif->ah can be
NULL, leading the ath12k_warn(ahvif->ah,...) call in this function to
trigger the NULL deref below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix null-ptr-deref in avs_component_probe()
devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
avs_component_probe() does not check for this case, which results in a
NULL pointer dereference. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btrtl: Prevent potential NULL dereference
The btrtl_initialize() function checks that rtl_load_file() either
had an error or it loaded a zero length file. However, if it loaded
a zero length file then the error code is not set correctly. It
results in an error pointer vs NULL bug, followed by a NULL pointer
dereference. This was detected by Smatch:
drivers/bluetooth/btrtl.c:592 btrtl_initialize() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR' |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
slab: ensure slab->obj_exts is clear in a newly allocated slab page
ktest recently reported crashes while running several buffered io tests
with __alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook() at the top of the crash call stack.
The signature indicates an invalid address dereference with low bits of
slab->obj_exts being set. The bits were outside of the range used by
page_memcg_data_flags and objext_flags and hence were not masked out
by slab_obj_exts() when obtaining the pointer stored in slab->obj_exts.
The typical crash log looks like this:

Investigation indicates that these bits are already set when we allocate
slab page and are not zeroed out after allocation. We are not yet sure
why these crashes start happening only recently but regardless of the
reason, not initializing a field that gets used later is wrong. Fix it
by initializing slab->obj_exts during slab page allocation. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: fix handling recovery & reissue in ublk_abort_queue()
Commit 8284066946e6 ("ublk: grab request reference when the request is handled
by userspace") doesn't grab request reference in case of recovery reissue.
Then the request can be requeued & re-dispatch & failed when canceling
uring command.
If it is one zc request, the request can be freed before io_uring
returns the zc buffer back, then cause kernel panic:

ata: pata_pxa: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pxa_ata_probe()
devm_ioremap() returns NULL on error. Currently, pxa_ata_probe() does
not check for this case, which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL check after devm_ioremap() to prevent this issue. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: Add NULL pointer check in i3c_master_queue_ibi()
The I3C master driver may receive an IBI from a target device that has not
been probed yet. In such cases, the master calls `i3c_master_queue_ibi()`
to queue an IBI work task, leading to "Unable to handle kernel read from
unreadable memory" and resulting in a kernel panic.
Typical IBI handling flow:
1. The I3C master scans target devices and probes their respective drivers.
2. The target device driver calls `i3c_device_request_ibi()` to enable IBI
and assigns `dev->ibi = ibi`.
3. The I3C master receives an IBI from the target device and calls
`i3c_master_queue_ibi()` to queue the target device driver’s IBI
handler task.
However, since target device events are asynchronous to the I3C probe
sequence, step 3 may occur before step 2, causing `dev->ibi` to be `NULL`,
leading to a kernel panic.
Add a NULL pointer check in `i3c_master_queue_ibi()` to prevent accessing
an uninitialized `dev->ibi`, ensuring stability. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix NULL pointer in can_accept_new_subflow
When testing valkey benchmark tool with MPTCP, the kernel panics in
'mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow' because subflow_req->msk is NULL.
Call trace:

...
According to the debug log, the same req received two SYN-ACK in a very
short time, very likely because the client retransmits the syn ack due
to multiple reasons.
Even if the packets are transmitted with a relevant time interval, they
can be processed by the server on different CPUs concurrently). The
'subflow_req->msk' ownership is transferred to the subflow the first,
and there will be a risk of a null pointer dereference here.
This patch fixes this issue by moving the 'subflow_req->msk' under the
`own_req == true` conditional.
Note that the !msk check in subflow_hmac_valid() can be dropped, because
the same check already exists under the own_req mpj branch where the
code has been moved to. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: int340x: Add NULL check for adev
Not all devices have an ACPI companion fwnode, so adev might be NULL.
This is similar to the commit cd2fd6eab480
("platform/x86: int3472: Check for adev == NULL").
Add a check for adev not being set and return -ENODEV in that case to
avoid a possible NULL pointer deref in int3402_thermal_probe().
Note, under the same directory, int3400_thermal_probe() has such a
check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: prevent NPD when writing a positive value to event_done
do_uevent returns the value written to event_done. In case it is a
positive value, new_lockspace would undo all the work, and lockspace
would not be set. __dlm_new_lockspace, however, would treat that
positive value as a success due to commit 8511a2728ab8 ("dlm: fix use
count with multiple joins").
Down the line, device_create_lockspace would pass that NULL lockspace to
dlm_find_lockspace_local, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
Treating such positive values as successes prevents the problem. Given
this has been broken for so long, this is unlikely to break userspace
expectations. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/9p: fix NULL pointer dereference on mkdir
When a 9p tree was mounted with option 'posixacl', parent directory had a
default ACL set for its subdirectories, e.g.:
setfacl -m default:group:simpsons:rwx parentdir
then creating a subdirectory crashed 9p client, as v9fs_fid_add() call in
function v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl() sets the passed 'fid' pointer to NULL
(since dafbe689736) even though the subsequent v9fs_set_create_acl() call
expects a valid non-NULL 'fid' pointer:

same remove routine. When that happens, it is possible for the adapter

Replace the direct idpf_remove() call in idpf_shutdown() with
idpf_vc_core_deinit() and idpf_deinit_dflt_mbx(), which perform
the bulk of the cleanup, such as stopping the init task, freeing IRQs,
destroying the vports and freeing the mailbox. This avoids the calls to
sriov_disable() in addition to a small netdev cleanup, and destroying
workqueues, which don't seem to be required on shutdown. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlabel: Fix NULL pointer exception caused by CALIPSO on IPv4 sockets
When calling netlbl_conn_setattr(), addr->sa_family is used
to determine the function behavior. If sk is an IPv4 socket,
but the connect function is called with an IPv6 address,
the function calipso_sock_setattr() is triggered.
Inside this function, the following code is executed:
sk_fullsock(__sk) ? inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 : NULL;
Since sk is an IPv4 socket, pinet6 is NULL, leading to a
null pointer dereference.
This patch fixes the issue by checking if inet6_sk(sk)
returns a NULL pointer before accessing pinet6. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: add mutual exclusion in proc_sctp_do_udp_port()
We must serialize calls to sctp_udp_sock_stop() and sctp_udp_sock_start()
or risk a crash as syzbot reported:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arcnet: Add NULL check in com20020pci_probe()
devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
com20020pci_probe() does not check for this case, which results in a
NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue and ensure
no resources are left allocated. |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: gpib: Fix Oops after disconnect in ni_usb
If the usb dongle is disconnected subsequent calls to the
driver cause a NULL dereference Oops as the bus_interface
is set to NULL on disconnect.
This problem was introduced by setting usb_dev from the bus_interface
for dev_xxx messages.
Previously bus_interface was checked for NULL only in the the functions
directly calling usb_fill_bulk_urb or usb_control_msg.
Check for valid bus_interface on all interface entry points
and return -ENODEV if it is NULL. |
