net/tls: fix kernel panic when alloc_page failed
We cannot set frag_list to NULL pointer when alloc_page failed.
It will be used in tls_strp_check_queue_ok when the next time
tls_strp_read_sock is called.
This is because we don't reset full_len in tls_strp_flush_anchor_copy()
so the recv path will try to continue handling the partial record
on the next call but we dettached the rcvq from the frag list.
Alternative fix would be to reset full_len.

HID: bpf: abort dispatch if device destroyed
The current HID bpf implementation assumes no output report/request will
go through it after hid_bpf_destroy_device() has been called. This leads
to a bug that unplugging certain types of HID devices causes a cleaned-
up SRCU to be accessed. The bug was previously a hidden failure until a
recent x86 percpu change [1] made it access not-present pages.
The bug will be triggered if the conditions below are met:
A) a device under the driver has some LEDs on
B) hid_ll_driver->request() is uninplemented (e.g., logitech-djreceiver)
If condition A is met, hidinput_led_worker() is always scheduled *after*
hid_bpf_destroy_device().
hid_destroy_device
` hid_bpf_destroy_device
` cleanup_srcu_struct(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` hid_remove_device
` ...
` led_classdev_unregister
` led_trigger_set(led_cdev, NULL)
` led_set_brightness(led_cdev, LED_OFF)
` ...
` input_inject_event
` input_event_dispose
` hidinput_input_event
` schedule_work(&hid->led_work) [hidinput_led_worker]
This is fine when condition B is not met, where hidinput_led_worker()
calls hid_ll_driver->request(). This is the case for most HID drivers,
which implement it or use the generic one from usbhid. The driver itself
or an underlying driver will then abort processing the request.
Otherwise, hidinput_led_worker() tries hid_hw_output_report() and leads
to the bug.
hidinput_led_worker
` hid_hw_output_report
` dispatch_hid_bpf_output_report
` srcu_read_lock(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` srcu_read_unlock(&hdev->bpf.srcu, idx)
The bug has existed since the introduction [2] of
dispatch_hid_bpf_output_report(). However, the same bug also exists in
dispatch_hid_bpf_raw_requests(), and I've reproduced (no visible effect
because of the lack of [1], but confirmed bpf.destroyed == 1) the bug
against the commit (i.e., the Fixes:) introducing the function. This is
because hidinput_led_worker() falls back to hid_hw_raw_request() when
hid_ll_driver->output_report() is uninplemented (e.g., logitech-
djreceiver).
hidinput_led_worker
` hid_hw_output_report: -ENOSYS
` hid_hw_raw_request
` dispatch_hid_bpf_raw_requests
` srcu_read_lock(&hdev->bpf.srcu)
` srcu_read_unlock(&hdev->bpf.srcu, idx)
Fix the issue by returning early in the two mentioned functions if
hid_bpf has been marked as destroyed. Though
dispatch_hid_bpf_device_event() handles input events, and there is no
evidence that it may be called after the destruction, the same check, as
a safety net, is also added to it to maintain the consistency among all
dispatch functions.
The impact of the bug on other architectures is unclear. Even if it acts
as a hidden failure, this is still dangerous because it corrupts
whatever is on the address calculated by SRCU. Thus, CC'ing the stable
list.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() should always initialize iterator
BPF programs may call next() and destroy() on BPF iterators even after new()
returns an error value (e.g. bpf_for_each() macro ignores error returns from
new()). bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() could leave the iterator in an uninitialized
state after an error return causing bpf_iter_scx_dsq_next() to dereference
garbage data. Make bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() always clear $kit->dsq so that
next() and destroy() become noops. |

This commit adds the missing locking. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: add locking for bcm_op runtime updates
The CAN broadcast manager (CAN BCM) can send a sequence of CAN frames via
hrtimer. The content and also the length of the sequence can be changed
resp reduced at runtime where the 'currframe' counter is then set to zero.
Although this appeared to be a safe operation the updates of 'currframe'
can be triggered from user space and hrtimer context in bcm_can_tx().
Anderson Nascimento created a proof of concept that triggered a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds read access which can be prevented with a spin_lock_bh.
At the rework of bcm_can_tx() the 'count' variable has been moved into
the protected section as this variable can be modified from both contexts
too. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: add missing rcu read protection for procfs content
When the procfs content is generated for a bcm_op which is in the process
to be removed the procfs output might show unreliable data (UAF).
As the removal of bcm_op's is already implemented with rcu handling this
patch adds the missing rcu_read_lock() and makes sure the list entries
are properly removed under rcu protection. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/fdinfo: grab ctx->uring_lock around io_uring_show_fdinfo()
Not everything requires locking in there, which is why the 'has_lock'
variable exists. But enough does that it's a bit unwieldy to manage.
Wrap the whole thing in a ->uring_lock trylock, and just return
with no output if we fail to grab it. The existing trylock() will
already have greatly diminished utility/output for the failure case.
This fixes an issue with reading the SQE fields, if the ring is being
actively resized at the same time. |

net_sched: hfsc: Address reentrant enqueue adding class to eltree twice
Savino says:
"We are writing to report that this recent patch
(141d34391abbb315d68556b7c67ad97885407547) [1]
can be bypassed, and a UAF can still occur when HFSC is utilized with
NETEM.
The patch only checks the cl->cl_nactive field to determine whether
it is the first insertion or not [2], but this field is only
incremented by init_vf [3].
By using HFSC_RSC (which uses init_ed) [4], it is possible to bypass the
check and insert the class twice in the eltree.
Under normal conditions, this would lead to an infinite loop in
hfsc_dequeue for the reasons we already explained in this report [5].
However, if TBF is added as root qdisc and it is configured with a
very low rate,
it can be utilized to prevent packets from being dequeued.
This behavior can be exploited to perform subsequent insertions in the
HFSC eltree and cause a UAF."
To fix both the UAF and the infinite loop, with netem as an hfsc child,
check explicitly in hfsc_enqueue whether the class is already in the eltree
whenever the HFSC_RSC flag is set.

netfilter: ipset: fix region locking in hash types
Region locking introduced in v5.6-rc4 contained three macros to handle
the region locks: ahash_bucket_start(), ahash_bucket_end() which gave
back the start and end hash bucket values belonging to a given region
lock and ahash_region() which should give back the region lock belonging
to a given hash bucket. The latter was incorrect which can lead to a
race condition between the garbage collector and adding new elements
when a hash type of set is defined with timeouts. |

KVM: arm64: Fix uninitialized memcache pointer in user_mem_abort()
Commit fce886a60207 ("KVM: arm64: Plumb the pKVM MMU in KVM") made the
initialization of the local memcache variable in user_mem_abort()
conditional, leaving a codepath where it is used uninitialized via
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map().
This can fail on any path that requires a stage-2 allocation
without transition via a permission fault or dirty logging.
Fix this by making sure that memcache is always valid. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fix a couple of races in MNT_TREE_BENEATH handling by do_move_mount()
Normally do_lock_mount(path, _) is locking a mountpoint pinned by
*path and at the time when matching unlock_mount() unlocks that
location it is still pinned by the same thing.
Unfortunately, for 'beneath' case it's no longer that simple -
the object being locked is not the one *path points to. It's the
mountpoint of path->mnt. The thing is, without sufficient locking
->mnt_parent may change under us and none of the locks are held
at that point. The rules are
* mount_lock stabilizes m->mnt_parent for any mount m.
* namespace_sem stabilizes m->mnt_parent, provided that
m is mounted.
* if either of the above holds and refcount of m is positive,
we are guaranteed the same for refcount of m->mnt_parent.
namespace_sem nests inside inode_lock(), so do_lock_mount() has
to take inode_lock() before grabbing namespace_sem. It does
recheck that path->mnt is still mounted in the same place after
getting namespace_sem, and it does take care to pin the dentry.
It is needed, since otherwise we might end up with racing mount --move
(or umount) happening while we were getting locks; in that case
dentry would no longer be a mountpoint and could've been evicted
on memory pressure along with its inode - not something you want
when grabbing lock on that inode.
However, pinning a dentry is not enough - the matching mount is
also pinned only by the fact that path->mnt is mounted on top it
and at that point we are not holding any locks whatsoever, so
the same kind of races could end up with all references to
that mount gone just as we are about to enter inode_lock().
If that happens, we are left with filesystem being shut down while
we are holding a dentry reference on it; results are not pretty.
What we need to do is grab both dentry and mount at the same time;
that makes inode_lock() safe *and* avoids the problem with fs getting
shut down under us. After taking namespace_sem we verify that
path->mnt is still mounted (which stabilizes its ->mnt_parent) and
check that it's still mounted at the same place. From that point
on to the matching namespace_unlock() we are guaranteed that
mount/dentry pair we'd grabbed are also pinned by being the mountpoint
of path->mnt, so we can quietly drop both the dentry reference (as
the current code does) and mnt one - it's OK to do under namespace_sem,
since we are not dropping the final refs.
That solves the problem on do_lock_mount() side; unlock_mount()
also has one, since dentry is guaranteed to stay pinned only until
the namespace_unlock(). That's easy to fix - just have inode_unlock()
done earlier, while it's still pinned by mp->m_dentry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ecdsa - Harden against integer overflows in DIV_ROUND_UP()
Herbert notes that DIV_ROUND_UP() may overflow unnecessarily if an ecdsa
implementation's ->key_size() callback returns an unusually large value.
Herbert instead suggests (for a division by 8):
X / 8 + !!(X & 7)
Based on this formula, introduce a generic DIV_ROUND_UP_POW2() macro and
use it in lieu of DIV_ROUND_UP() for ->key_size() return values.
Additionally, use the macro in ecc_digits_from_bytes(), whose "nbytes"
parameter is a ->key_size() return value in some instances, or a
user-specified ASN.1 length in the case of ecdsa_get_signature_rs(). |

wifi: cfg80211: fix out-of-bounds access during multi-link element defragmentation
Currently during the multi-link element defragmentation process, the
multi-link element length added to the total IEs length when calculating
the length of remaining IEs after the multi-link element in
cfg80211_defrag_mle(). This could lead to out-of-bounds access if the
multi-link element or its corresponding fragment elements are the last
elements in the IEs buffer.
To address this issue, correctly calculate the remaining IEs length by
deducting the multi-link element end offset from total IEs end offset. |

x86/mm: Eliminate window where TLB flushes may be inadvertently skipped
tl;dr: There is a window in the mm switching code where the new CR3 is
set and the CPU should be getting TLB flushes for the new mm. But
should_flush_tlb() has a bug and suppresses the flush. Fix it by
widening the window where should_flush_tlb() sends an IPI.
Long Version:
=== History ===
There were a few things leading up to this.
First, updating mm_cpumask() was observed to be too expensive, so it was
made lazier. But being lazy caused too many unnecessary IPIs to CPUs
due to the now-lazy mm_cpumask(). So code was added to cull
mm_cpumask() periodically[2]. But that culling was a bit too aggressive
and skipped sending TLB flushes to CPUs that need them. So here we are
again.
=== Problem ===
The too-aggressive code in should_flush_tlb() strikes in this window:
// Turn on IPIs for this CPU/mm combination, but only
// if should_flush_tlb() agrees:
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next));
next_tlb_gen = atomic64_read(&next->context.tlb_gen);
choose_new_asid(next, next_tlb_gen, &new_asid, &need_flush);
load_new_mm_cr3(need_flush);
// ^ After 'need_flush' is set to false, IPIs *MUST*
// be sent to this CPU and not be ignored.
this_cpu_write(cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm, next);
// ^ Not until this point does should_flush_tlb()
// become true!
should_flush_tlb() will suppress TLB flushes between load_new_mm_cr3()
and writing to 'loaded_mm', which is a window where they should not be
suppressed. Whoops.
=== Solution ===
Thankfully, the fuzzy "just about to write CR3" window is already marked
with loaded_mm==LOADED_MM_SWITCHING. Simply checking for that state in
should_flush_tlb() is sufficient to ensure that the CPU is targeted with
an IPI.
This will cause more TLB flush IPIs. But the window is relatively small
and I do not expect this to cause any kind of measurable performance
impact.
Update the comment where LOADED_MM_SWITCHING is written since it grew
yet another user.
Peter Z also raised a concern that should_flush_tlb() might not observe
'loaded_mm' and 'is_lazy' in the same order that switch_mm_irqs_off()
writes them. Add a barrier to ensure that they are observed in the
order they are written. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Scrub packet on bpf_redirect_peer
When bpf_redirect_peer is used to redirect packets to a device in
another network namespace, the skb isn't scrubbed. That can lead skb
information from one namespace to be "misused" in another namespace.
As one example, this is causing Cilium to drop traffic when using
bpf_redirect_peer to redirect packets that just went through IPsec
decryption to a container namespace. The following pwru trace shows (1)
the packet path from the host's XFRM layer to the container's XFRM
layer where it's dropped and (2) the number of active skb extensions at
each function.

.active_extensions = (__u8)2,
In this case, there are no XFRM policies in the container's network
namespace so the drop is unexpected. When we decrypt the IPsec packet,
the XFRM state used for decryption is set in the skb extensions. This
information is preserved across the netns switch. When we reach the
XFRM policy check in the container's netns, __xfrm_policy_check drops
the packet with LINUX_MIB_XFRMINNOPOLS because a (container-side) XFRM
policy can't be found that matches the (host-side) XFRM state used for
decryption.
This patch fixes this by scrubbing the packet when using
bpf_redirect_peer, as is done on typical netns switches via veth
devices except skb->mark and skb->tstamp are not zeroed. |

KVM: SVM: Forcibly leave SMM mode on SHUTDOWN interception
Previously, commit ed129ec9057f ("KVM: x86: forcibly leave nested mode
on vCPU reset") addressed an issue where a triple fault occurring in
nested mode could lead to use-after-free scenarios. However, the commit
did not handle the analogous situation for System Management Mode (SMM).
This omission results in triggering a WARN when KVM forces a vCPU INIT
after SHUTDOWN interception while the vCPU is in SMM. This situation was
reprodused using Syzkaller by:
1) Creating a KVM VM and vCPU
2) Sending a KVM_SMI ioctl to explicitly enter SMM
3) Executing invalid instructions causing consecutive exceptions and
eventually a triple fault
The issue manifests as follows:

Architecturally, INIT is blocked when the CPU is in SMM, hence KVM's WARN()
in kvm_vcpu_reset() to guard against KVM bugs, e.g. to detect improper
emulation of INIT. SHUTDOWN on SVM is a weird edge case where KVM needs to
do _something_ sane with the VMCB, since it's technically undefined, and
INIT is the least awful choice given KVM's ABI.
So, double down on stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN, and force the vCPU out of
SMM to avoid any weirdness (and the WARN).
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: prevent rename with empty string
Client can send empty newname string to ksmbd server.
It will cause a kernel oops from d_alloc.
This patch return the error when attempting to rename
a file or directory with an empty new name string. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: Avoid race in open_cached_dir with lease breaks
A pre-existing valid cfid returned from find_or_create_cached_dir might
race with a lease break, meaning open_cached_dir doesn't consider it
valid, and thinks it's newly-constructed. This leaks a dentry reference
if the allocation occurs before the queued lease break work runs.
Avoid the race by extending holding the cfid_list_lock across
find_or_create_cached_dir and when the result is checked. |
