| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: fix deadlock caused by calling printk() under tty_port->lock
pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print
failure message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by
syz-bot below:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(console_owner);
As commit dbdda842fe96 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to
load balance console writes") said, such deadlock can be prevented by
using printk_deferred() in kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section
guarded by the port->lock). But there are too many printk() on the
kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing
printk() to printk_deferred() is too complicated and inelegant.
Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so
that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be
avoided.
Syzbot reported the following lockdep error:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix deadlock in __device_attach
In __device_attach function, The lock holding logic is as follows:
...
__device_attach
device_lock(dev) // get lock dev
async_schedule_dev(__device_attach_async_helper, dev); // func
async_schedule_node
async_schedule_node_domain(func)
entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct async_entry), GFP_ATOMIC);
/* when fail or work limit, sync to execute func, but
__device_attach_async_helper will get lock dev as
well, which will lead to A-A deadlock. */
if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK) {
func;
else
queue_work_node(node, system_unbound_wq, &entry->work)
device_unlock(dev)
As shown above, when it is allowed to do async probes, because of
out of memory or work limit, async work is not allowed, to do
sync execute instead. it will lead to A-A deadlock because of
__device_attach_async_helper getting lock dev.
To fix the deadlock, move the async_schedule_dev outside device_lock,
as we can see, in async_schedule_node_domain, the parameter of
queue_work_node is system_unbound_wq, so it can accept concurrent
operations. which will also not change the code logic, and will
not lead to deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcache: avoid journal no-space deadlock by reserving 1 journal bucket
The journal no-space deadlock was reported time to time. Such deadlock
can happen in the following situation.
When all journal buckets are fully filled by active jset with heavy
write I/O load, the cache set registration (after a reboot) will load
all active jsets and inserting them into the btree again (which is
called journal replay). If a journaled bkey is inserted into a btree
node and results btree node split, new journal request might be
triggered. For example, the btree grows one more level after the node
split, then the root node record in cache device super block will be
upgrade by bch_journal_meta() from bch_btree_set_root(). But there is no
space in journal buckets, the journal replay has to wait for new journal
bucket to be reclaimed after at least one journal bucket replayed. This
is one example that how the journal no-space deadlock happens.
The solution to avoid the deadlock is to reserve 1 journal bucket in
run time, and only permit the reserved journal bucket to be used during
cache set registration procedure for things like journal replay. Then
the journal space will never be fully filled, there is no chance for
journal no-space deadlock to happen anymore.
This patch adds a new member "bool do_reserve" in struct journal, it is
inititalized to 0 (false) when struct journal is allocated, and set to
1 (true) by bch_journal_space_reserve() when all initialization done in
run_cache_set(). In the run time when journal_reclaim() tries to
allocate a new journal bucket, free_journal_buckets() is called to check
whether there are enough free journal buckets to use. If there is only
1 free journal bucket and journal->do_reserve is 1 (true), the last
bucket is reserved and free_journal_buckets() will return 0 to indicate
no free journal bucket. Then journal_reclaim() will give up, and try
next time to see whetheer there is free journal bucket to allocate. By
this method, there is always 1 jouranl bucket reserved in run time.
During the cache set registration, journal->do_reserve is 0 (false), so
the reserved journal bucket can be used to avoid the no-space deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Don't hold the layoutget locks across multiple RPC calls
When doing layoutget as part of the open() compound, we have to be
careful to release the layout locks before we can call any further RPC
calls, such as setattr(). The reason is that those calls could trigger
a recall, which could deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: staging: rtl8192bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle()
There is a deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle(), which is shown
below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| _set_timer()
rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle()| mod_timer()
spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | _rtw_join_timeout_handler()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_bh() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() to
spin_lock_irq() in _rtw_join_timeout_handler() in order to
prevent deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix possible deadlock when holding Fwb to get inline_data
1, mount with wsync.
2, create a file with O_RDWR, and the request was sent to mds.0:
ceph_atomic_open()-->
ceph_mdsc_do_request(openc)
finish_open(file, dentry, ceph_open)-->
ceph_open()-->
ceph_init_file()-->
ceph_init_file_info()-->
ceph_uninline_data()-->
{
...
if (inline_version == 1 || /* initial version, no data */
inline_version == CEPH_INLINE_NONE)
goto out_unlock;
...
}
The inline_version will be 1, which is the initial version for the
new create file. And here the ci->i_inline_version will keep with 1,
it's buggy.
3, buffer write to the file immediately:
ceph_write_iter()-->
ceph_get_caps(file, need=Fw, want=Fb, ...);
generic_perform_write()-->
a_ops->write_begin()-->
ceph_write_begin()-->
netfs_write_begin()-->
netfs_begin_read()-->
netfs_rreq_submit_slice()-->
netfs_read_from_server()-->
rreq->netfs_ops->issue_read()-->
ceph_netfs_issue_read()-->
{
...
if (ci->i_inline_version != CEPH_INLINE_NONE &&
ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline(subreq))
return;
...
}
ceph_put_cap_refs(ci, Fwb);
The ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline() will send a getattr(Fsr) request to
mds.1.
4, then the mds.1 will request the rd lock for CInode::filelock from
the auth mds.0, the mds.0 will do the CInode::filelock state transation
from excl --> sync, but it need to revoke the Fxwb caps back from the
clients.
While the kernel client has aleady held the Fwb caps and waiting for
the getattr(Fsr).
It's deadlock!

but I'll say it anyway: the enetc_tx_onestep_tstamp() work item runs in
process context, therefore with softirqs enabled (i.o.w., it can be
interrupted by a softirq). If we hold the netif_tx_lock() when there is
an interrupt, and the NET_TX softirq then gets scheduled, this will take
the netif_tx_lock() a second time and deadlock the kernel.
To solve this, use netif_tx_lock_bh(), which blocks softirqs from
running. |

Bluetooth: Fix possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change
syzbot reports a possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change [1].
While rfcomm_sock_connect acquires the sk lock and waits for
the rfcomm lock, rfcomm_sock_release could have the rfcomm
lock and hit a deadlock for acquiring the sk lock.
Here's a simplified flow:
rfcomm_sock_connect:
lock_sock(sk)
rfcomm_dlc_open:
rfcomm_lock()
rfcomm_sock_release:
rfcomm_sock_shutdown:
rfcomm_lock()
__rfcomm_dlc_close:
rfcomm_k_state_change:
lock_sock(sk)
This patch drops the sk lock before calling rfcomm_dlc_open to
avoid the possible deadlock and holds sk's reference count to
prevent use-after-free after rfcomm_dlc_open completes. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: initialize locks earlier in f2fs_fill_super()
syzbot is reporting lockdep warning at f2fs_handle_error() [1], for
spin_lock(&sbi->error_lock) is called before spin_lock_init() is called.
For safe locking in error handling, move initialization of locks (and
obvious structures) in f2fs_fill_super() to immediately after memory
allocation. |

| mailcow: dockerized is an open source groupware/email suite based on docker. Prior to version 2025-01a, a vulnerability in mailcow's password reset functionality allows an attacker to manipulate the `Host HTTP` header to generate a password reset link pointing to an attacker-controlled domain. This can lead to account takeover if a user clicks the poisoned link. Version 2025-01a contains a patch. As a workaround, deactivate the password reset functionality by clearing `Notification email sender` and `Notification email subject` under System -> Configuration -> Options -> Password Settings. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: Don't take register_mutex with copy_from/to_user()
The infamous mmap_lock taken in copy_from/to_user() can be often
problematic when it's called inside another mutex, as they might lead
to deadlocks.
In the case of ALSA timer code, the bad pattern is with
guard(mutex)(®ister_mutex) that covers copy_from/to_user() -- which
was mistakenly introduced at converting to guard(), and it had been
carefully worked around in the past.
This patch fixes those pieces simply by moving copy_from/to_user() out
of the register mutex lock again. |

nilfs2: fix deadlock in nilfs_count_free_blocks()
A semaphore deadlock can occur if nilfs_get_block() detects metadata
corruption while locating data blocks and a superblock writeback occurs at
the same time:
task 1 task 2
------ ------
* A file operation *
nilfs_truncate()
nilfs_get_block()
down_read(rwsem A) <--
nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig()
... generic_shutdown_super()
nilfs_put_super()
* Prepare to write superblock *
down_write(rwsem B) <--
nilfs_cleanup_super()
* Detect b-tree corruption * nilfs_set_log_cursor()
nilfs_bmap_convert_error() nilfs_count_free_blocks()
__nilfs_error() down_read(rwsem A) <--
nilfs_set_error()
down_write(rwsem B) <--
*** DEADLOCK ***
Here, nilfs_get_block() readlocks rwsem A (= NILFS_MDT(dat_inode)->mi_sem)
and then calls nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig(), but if it fails due to metadata
corruption, __nilfs_error() is called from nilfs_bmap_convert_error()
inside the lock section.
Since __nilfs_error() calls nilfs_set_error() unless the filesystem is
read-only and nilfs_set_error() attempts to writelock rwsem B (=
nilfs->ns_sem) to write back superblock exclusively, hierarchical lock
acquisition occurs in the order rwsem A -> rwsem B.
Now, if another task starts updating the superblock, it may writelock
rwsem B during the lock sequence above, and can deadlock trying to
readlock rwsem A in nilfs_count_free_blocks().
However, there is actually no need to take rwsem A in
nilfs_count_free_blocks() because it, within the lock section, only reads
a single integer data on a shared struct with
nilfs_sufile_get_ncleansegs(). This has been the case after commit
aa474a220180 ("nilfs2: add local variable to cache the number of clean
segments"), that is, even before this bug was introduced.
So, this resolves the deadlock problem by just not taking the semaphore in
nilfs_count_free_blocks(). |
| The strcmp implementation optimized for the Power10 processor in the GNU C Library version 2.39 and later writes to vector registers v20 to v31 without saving contents from the caller (those registers are defined as non-volatile registers by the powerpc64le ABI), resulting in overwriting of its contents and potentially altering control flow of the caller, or leaking the input strings to the function to other parts of the program. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: Fix use after free in red_enqueue()
We can't use "skb" again after passing it to qdisc_enqueue(). This is
basically identical to commit 2f09707d0c97 ("sch_sfb: Also store skb
len before calling child enqueue"). |
