| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: avoid destroy_workqueue(NULL) on vkms init failure
Two paths through vmw_vkms_init() can leave vmw->crc_workq NULL while
still leaving the rest of the driver in a state that calls
vmw_vkms_cleanup() at module unload:
1. vmw_host_get_guestinfo(GUESTINFO_VBLANK, ...) failing or
returning an oversized buffer -- the common case on hosts
without a VBLANK guestinfo entry -- early-returned before the
workqueue allocation.
2. alloc_ordered_workqueue() returning NULL on memory pressure.
vmw_vkms_cleanup() then calls destroy_workqueue(NULL), which
dereferences wq->name and panics.
Fix the first case by removing the early return: vmw->vkms_enabled
is already false on the rpci-failure path so no work will ever be
queued, and allocating the workqueue unconditionally keeps the
control flow simple. Fix the second case by guarding the cleanup
with a NULL check, since alloc_ordered_workqueue() can still fail
under low memory. |

afs: fix NULL pointer dereference in afs_get_tree()
afs_alloc_sbi() uses kzalloc for memory allocation. And, if
ctx->dyn_root is not null, as->cell and as->volume are null.
In trace_afs_get_tree() they are dereferenced.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm_crb: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe
Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match
its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so
platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion
object need to verify its presence.
Accordingly, add a requisite ACPI_COMPANION() check against NULL to the
tpm_crb driver. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: msc313: fix NULL deref in shared IRQ handler at probe
msc313_rtc_probe() calls devm_request_irq() with IRQF_SHARED and
&pdev->dev as the cookie, but platform_set_drvdata() is only called
later after the clock setup. With a shared IRQ line, another device
on the same line can trigger the handler in that window. The
handler does dev_get_drvdata() on the cookie, gets NULL, and
dereferences priv->rtc_base in interrupt context.
Pass priv as the cookie directly so the handler reads it from
dev_id without the lookup, removing the dependency on probe order. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: FCP: Fix NULL pointer dereference in interface lookup
A malformed USB device can provide a vendor-specific interface without
any endpoint descriptors. fcp_find_fc_interface() currently selects the
first vendor-specific interface and reads endpoint 0 from it, without
checking whether the interface actually has any endpoints.
When bNumEndpoints is zero, no endpoint array is allocated for the parsed
alternate setting, so get_endpoint(..., 0) yields an invalid endpoint
descriptor pointer. Dereferencing it through usb_endpoint_num() then
triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
Skip vendor-specific interfaces that do not have any endpoints. |

tracing/fprobe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in fprobe_fgraph_entry()
fprobe_fgraph_entry() sizes a shadow-stack reservation in one walk of
the per-ip fprobe list and fills it in a second walk, both under
rcu_read_lock() only. A fprobe registered on an already-live ip can
become visible between the two walks, so the fill walk processes an
exit_handler the sizing walk did not count and used runs past
reserved_words. If the sizing walk counted nothing, fgraph_data is NULL
and the first write_fprobe_header() faults:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ...

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Remove setting of AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS for symlinks and mountpoints
Regular AFS files correctly use afs_file_aops which have release_folio
set as netfs_release_folio, so AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is valid for them
when fscache is enabled (set via afs_vnode_set_cache()).
Symlinks and mountpoints in AFS use afs_dir_aops, which does not provide
a release_folio callback. However, afs_apply_status() unconditionally
calls mapping_set_release_always() for these.
In such case when memory management code attempts to release folios,
filemap_release_folio() checks folio_needs_release() which
returns true due to AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS being set. Since there is no
release_folio callback, it falls through to try_to_free_buffers(),
which at present expects buffer_heads to be not null. For symlinks
and mountpoints without buffer_heads, this causes pointer dereference.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: fix NPD in bo_meminfo()
When a buffer object is purged, its ttm.resource is set to NULL via the
TTM pipeline gutting flow. However, the BO remains in the client's
object list until userspace explicitly closes the GEM handle. If memory
stats are queried during this time, accessing bo->ttm.resource->mem_type
will result in a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by safely skipping purged BOs in bo_meminfo, as they no longer
consume any memory.
User is getting NPD on device resume, and possible theory is that in
bo_move(), if we need to evict something to SYSTEM to save the CCS state,
but the BO is marked as dontneed, this won't trigger a move but will
nuke the pages, leaving us with a NULL bo resource. And the meminfo()
doesn't look ready to handle a NULL resource.
v2 (Sashiko):
- There could potentially be other cases where we might end up with a
NULL resource, so make this a general NULL check for now.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Reject invalid indirect BO handle in indirect CSD setup
v3d_get_cpu_indirect_csd_params() looks up the indirect buffer object
from a userspace-supplied handle but never checks the result. A bogus
or stale handle makes drm_gem_object_lookup() return NULL, which is
then stored in info->indirect and only dereferenced later when the
indirect CSD job runs, turning a userspace mistake into a NULL pointer
dereference in the kernel.
Bail out with -ENOENT as soon as the lookup fails, so the bad handle is
rejected at submission time. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm era: fix NULL pointer dereference in metadata_open()
metadata_open() returns NULL when kzalloc_obj() fails, but the
caller era_ctr() only checks IS_ERR(md). Since IS_ERR(NULL)
returns false, the NULL pointer is treated as a valid result
and later assigned to era->md, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference when the metadata is accessed.
Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on allocation failure,
consistent with dm-cache-metadata.c, dm-thin-metadata.c, and
dm-clone-metadata.c which all use ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) for the
same pattern. |

ASoC: qcom: q6apm: fix NULL pointer dereference in graph_callback
When q6apm_free_fragments() is called it frees rx_data.buf/tx_data.buf
and sets them to NULL under graph->lock. A late DSP buffer-done response
can race with this: graph_callback() passes the !graph->ar_graph guard
(not yet NULL), acquires the lock, but then dereferences a now-NULL buf
pointer to read buf[token].phys, crashing at virtual address 0x10.
Add a NULL check for buf inside the mutex-protected section in both the
write-done (DATA_CMD_RSP_WR_SH_MEM_EP_DATA_BUFFER_DONE_V2) and
read-done (DATA_CMD_RSP_RD_SH_MEM_EP_DATA_BUFFER_V2) handlers and bail
out cleanly if buffers have already been freed.
This problem is only shown up recently while apr bus was updated to
process the commands per service rather from single global queue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: put stats for scheme_add_dirs() internal error
damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() setup the tried_regions directory after the
stats directory setup is completed. When the tried_regions directory
setup is failed, the setup function ensures the reference for the tried
regions directory is released. Hence the error path should put references
on setup succeeded directory objects, starting from the stats directory.
However, the error path is putting the tried_regions directory instead of
the stats directory.
As a direct result, the stats directory object is leaked. Worse yet, if
the tried_regions directory setup failed from the initial allocation, the
scheme->tried_regions field remains uninitialized. The following
kobject_put(&scheme->tried_regions->kobj) call in the error path will
dereference the uninitialized memory. The setup failures should not be
common. But once it happens, the consequence is quite bad.
Fix this issue by correctly putting the stats directory instead of the
tried_regions directory.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix NULL h_transaction deref in ocfs2_assure_trans_credits
[BUG]
A direct write over unwritten extents can panic the kernel in
ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() when the journal aborts during DIO
completion. The crash is a general protection fault from a NULL pointer
dereference.
[CAUSE]
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() loops over a direct write's unwritten extents,
marking each written under a single journal handle. If the journal
aborts (for example after an I/O error) while the extent tree is being
updated, the handle is left aborted with its transaction pointer
cleared. The extent merge treats that failure as not critical and
reports success, so the loop keeps using the handle.
ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() reads the handle's remaining credits
without first checking whether the handle is aborted, and that read
dereferences the cleared transaction pointer.
[FIX]
A journal abort is recorded in the handle itself, so callers are
expected to test the handle rather than rely on a returned error.
Make ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() do that, as the other ocfs2 journal
helpers already do, and return -EROFS when the handle is aborted. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: add journal NULL check in ocfs2_checkpoint_inode()
During unmount, ocfs2_journal_shutdown() frees the journal and sets
osb->journal to NULL. Later, when VFS evicts remaining cached inodes,
ocfs2_evict_inode() -> ocfs2_clear_inode() -> ocfs2_checkpoint_inode()
-> ocfs2_ci_fully_checkpointed() dereferences osb->journal, causing a
NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by adding a NULL check for osb->journal in
ocfs2_checkpoint_inode(). If the journal is NULL, it has already been
fully flushed and destroyed during shutdown, so there is nothing to
checkpoint. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: dw-edma-pcie: Reject devices without driver data
dw_edma_pcie_probe() treats the PCI device ID driver_data as the
template for the controller layout and copies it unconditionally. A
device bound dynamically via sysfs can match the driver without that
data, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference.
Reject such matches before enabling the device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-pcache: reject option groups without values
The pcache target parses optional arguments as name/value pairs. A
table that advertises one optional argument and supplies only a
recognized option name, for example "cache_mode", reaches
parse_cache_opts() with argc == 1. The parser consumes the name,
decrements argc to zero, then calls dm_shift_arg() again for the value.
dm_shift_arg() returns NULL when no arguments remain, and the following
strcmp() dereferences that NULL pointer.
Check that each recognized option has a value before consuming it. This
keeps valid "cache_mode writeback" and "data_crc true/false" tables
unchanged while making malformed tables fail during target construction
with a precise missing-value error. |
