| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path
In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by
incrementing rdev->nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a
badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle
without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror.
err_handle's cleanup loop will only decrements for k < i and
r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped,
leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference
prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf()
refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0.
Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Fix deadlock if uvc_status_stop is called from async_ctrl.work
If a UVC camera has an asynchronous control, uvc_status_stop may be
called from async_ctrl.work:
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work()
uvc_ctrl_status_event()
uvc_ctrl_clear_handle()
uvc_pm_put()
uvc_status_put()
uvc_status_stop()
cancel_work_sync()
This will cause a deadlock, since cancel_work_sync will wait for
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work to complete before returning.
Fix this by returning early from uvc_status_stop if we are currently in
the work function. flush_status now remains false until uvc_status_start
is called again, ensuring that uvc_ctrl_status_event_work won't resubmit
the URB. |

btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock between metadata writeback and transaction commit
When writing out metadata extent buffers in a zoned filesystem,
btree_writepages() holds fs_info->zoned_meta_io_lock across the whole
writeback loop, including the call to btrfs_check_meta_write_pointer() ->
check_bg_is_active().
For the tree-log block group, check_bg_is_active() may fail to activate
the zone and fall back to btrfs_zone_finish_one_bg() to free an active
zone. That path waits for the running transaction to commit while still
holding zoned_meta_io_lock, but the committer needs that same lock to
write out the tree extents, so the two tasks deadlock:
Task A (kworker, metadata writeback) Task B (fsstress, transaction commit)
------------------------------------ -------------------------------------
wb_workfn() btrfs_commit_transaction(T)
btree_writepages() btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction()
btrfs_zoned_meta_io_lock() btrfs_write_marked_extents()
btrfs_check_meta_write_pointer() btree_writepages()
check_bg_is_active() [treelog_bg] btrfs_zoned_meta_io_lock()
btrfs_zone_finish_one_bg() <blocks on zoned_meta_io_lock,
btrfs_zone_finish() held by Task A>
do_zone_finish()
btrfs_inc_block_group_ro()
btrfs_wait_for_commit()
<blocks waiting for commit
of transaction T, done by
Task B>
The sibling branch in check_bg_is_active() already drops zoned_meta_io_lock
around do_zone_finish() for this exact reason. Do the same in the tree-log
branch: release the lock around btrfs_zone_finish_one_bg() and re-acquire
it afterwards. The lock only protects fs_info->active_{meta,system}_bg,
which this branch does not touch, and ctx->zoned_bg keeps a reference to
the block group across the unlock, so nothing is lost while the lock
is dropped.
This hang occasionally reproduces with fstests generic/475 on a zoned
btrfs filesystem. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Fix potential deadlock in mpi3mr_fault_uevent_emit
mpi3mr_fault_uevent_emit() runs from the fault watchdog and reset paths
where host I/O may already be blocked. GFP_KERNEL allocations here, both
the local kzalloc_obj() and the ones inside kobject_uevent_env() itself,
can trigger reclaim that waits on that blocked I/O and deadlock.
Use memalloc_noio_save()/restore() to cover the whole call instead of
just the local allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_debug: Fix REPORT ZONES alloc_len underflow OOB write
resp_report_zones() sizes the reply buffer from the CDB allocation
length. The v3 fix rounds alloc_len up with ALIGN() before deriving the
descriptor count:
rep_max_zones = (ALIGN((u64)alloc_len, RZONES_DESC_HD) -
RZONES_DESC_HD) >> ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);
arr_len = (u64)RZONES_DESC_HD * (rep_max_zones + 1);
For alloc_len in 0xFFFFFFC1..0xFFFFFFFF, ALIGN() rounds up to
0x100000000, so arr_len is 4 GB. On 32-bit, kzalloc()'s size_t is 32-bit
and truncates 0x100000000 to 0; kzalloc(0) returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which
passes the !arr check, and desc = arr + 64 is then dereferenced in the
loop -> out-of-bounds write / panic.
Clamp rep_max_zones to devip->nr_zones. The loop already stops at
sdebug_capacity (after nr_zones zones), so a report can never hold more
than nr_zones descriptors; the clamp does not change the report, it only
bounds arr_len to (nr_zones + 1) * RZONES_DESC_HD, a real device
property that can never reach 0x100000000. |

rxrpc: Fix the reception of a reply packet before data transmission
Fix rxrpc_receiving_reply() to handle the reception of an apparent reply
DATA packet before rxrpc has had a chance to send any request DATA packets
on a client call by checking to see if the call has been exposed yet by
sending the first packet.
Without this, rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() might oops.
Also fix rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() to handle the Tx queue being empty by
changing the do...while loop into a while loop, just in case a call is
abnormally terminated by an early reply before the last request packet is
transmitted. |
| @fastify/multipart is a multipart form-data parser for Fastify. In versions from 5.3.0 up to but not including 10.1.1, when the busboy fileSize limit truncates a file part, the plugin clears its internal current-file reference while the underlying stream is still open. If the client then aborts the connection before sending the terminating boundary, the abort cleanup finds no stream to destroy, so saveRequestFiles() never settles, the request handler hangs, and the temporary file already written to disk is never cleaned up. An unauthenticated client can repeat this to permanently leak temporary files and suspended handler executions, leading to disk and event-loop exhaustion. The issue is fixed in @fastify/multipart 10.1.1. Users should upgrade to 10.1.1. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd: Avoid hashing uninitialized bytes in nlm4svc_lookup_file()
file_hash() digests the first LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE bytes of
nfs_fh.data when bucketing nlm_files[], independent of fh.size.
Commit 3de744ee4e45 ("lockd: Use xdrgen XDR functions for the
NLMv4 TEST procedure") set .pc_argzero to zero for the converted
procedures and moved file-handle population into
nlm4svc_lookup_file(), which copies only xdr_lock->fh.len bytes
into lock->fh.data.
When an NLMv4 client presents a file handle shorter than
LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE, bytes fh.len..31 retain whatever the argument
buffer held from an earlier request. The same wire handle then
hashes to different buckets across calls; nlm_lookup_file() misses
the existing nlm_file entry, and lock-state lookups fail.
Zero only the tail bytes that file_hash() would otherwise consume.
Handles of LOCKD_FH_HASH_SIZE or larger already populate every byte
that file_hash() reads. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix RB-tree corruption in probe error path
The info->node RB-tree member is zero-initialized via kzalloc. If
a device does not support ATS, the device_rbtree_insert() call is
skipped. If a subsequent probe step fails, the error path jumps to
device_rbtree_remove(), which misinterprets the zeroed node as
a tree root and corrupts the device RB-tree.
Fix this by explicitly initializing the RB-node as empty using
RB_CLEAR_NODE() during initialization and guarding the removal with
RB_EMPTY_NODE(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject exclusive maps for bpf_map_elem iterators
Exclusive maps (aka excl_prog_hash) are meant to be reachable only
from the single program whose hash matches. This is enforced by
check_map_prog_compatibility() when the map is referenced from a
program such as signed BPF loaders.
A bpf_map_elem iterator, however, binds its target map at attach
time in bpf_iter_attach_map() instead of referencing it from the
program, so the exclusivity check is never reached. On top of that,
the iterator exposes the map value as a writable buffer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext2: fix ignored return value of generic_write_sync()
Fix ext2_dio_write_iter() to propagate the error returned by
generic_write_sync() instead of silently discarding it, which could
cause write(2) to return success to userspace on O_SYNC/O_DSYNC files
even when the sync failed.
The correct pattern, already used in ext2_dax_write_iter() in the same
file and in ext4, xfs, f2fs among others, is:
if (ret > 0)
ret = generic_write_sync(iocb, ret);

net/sched: sch_codel: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen
Whenever codel drops packets during peek, it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops
to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will
be executed even though codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,
will mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a wild
memory access when qfq has codel as a child:

ALSA: seq: avoid stale FIFO cells during resize
snd_seq_fifo_resize() still needs to publish the replacement pool
before it waits for FIFO users. A blocking snd_seq_read() holds
f->use_lock while it sleeps, so concurrent senders must be able to
queue to the new pool and wake that reader instead of failing against a
closing old pool.
However, snd_seq_fifo_event_in() duplicates an event before it takes
f->lock, and snd_seq_read() can dequeue a cell and later call
snd_seq_fifo_cell_putback() if copy_to_user() or
snd_seq_expand_var_event() fails. If resize swaps f->pool and detaches
oldhead in between, either path can relink an old-pool cell after the
snapshot. That stale cell sits outside the drained oldhead list, keeps
oldpool->counter elevated, and can leave snd_seq_pool_delete() waiting
for the retired pool to drain.
Keep the existing swap-before-wait ordering in snd_seq_fifo_resize(),
but reject stale cells before any FIFO relink. Revalidate event-in cells
under f->lock and retry them against the published replacement pool, and
free stale putback cells instead of linking them back into the FIFO.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
resize path: relink path:
1. Allocate newpool. 1. Take f->use_lock.
2. Swap f->pool to newpool and 2. Duplicate or dequeue an old-pool
detach oldhead. cell before oldpool closes.
3. Mark oldpool closing and 3. Reach a later relink point after
wait for FIFO users. resize published newpool.
4. Free oldhead and delete 4. Relink the old-pool cell after
oldpool. resize detached oldhead.
5. Drop f->use_lock.
The reproducer reports a resize ioctl blocked in the expected pool

afs: Fix callback service message parsers to pass through -EAGAIN

notifications. Each callback call type handler has a delivery function
that parses the incoming request stream, and this should return -EAGAIN the

consumed. afs_extract_data() does this, but the -EAGAIN return is switched

netfilter: nf_conncount: prevent connlimit drops for early confirmed ct
Commit 69894e5b4c5e ("netfilter: nft_connlimit: update the count if add
was skipped") introduced a regression where packets for valid
connections are dropped when using connlimit for soft-limiting
scenarios.
The issue occurs when a new connection reuses a socket currently in
the TIME_WAIT state. In this scenario, the connection tracking entry
is evaluated as already confirmed. Previously, __nf_conncount_add()
assumed that if a connection was confirmed and did not originate from
the loopback interface, it should skip the addition and return -EEXIST.
Skipping the addition triggers a garbage collection run that cleans up
the TIME_WAIT connection. Consequently, the active connection count
drops to 0, which xt_connlimit mishandles, leading to the false rejection
of the perfectly valid new connection.
Fix this by replacing the interface check with protocol-agnostic state
checks. We now skip the tree insertion and preserve the lockless garbage
collection optimization only if the connection is IPS_ASSURED. This
allows early-confirmed setup packets (such as reused TIME_WAIT sockets
or locally generated SYN-ACKs) to be properly evaluated and counted
without falsely dropping. The goto check_connections path is maintained
to ensure these setup packets are deduplicated correctly.
This has been tested with slowhttptest and HTTP server configured
locally to ensure we are not breaking soft-limiting scenarios for local
or external connections. In addition, it was tested with a OVS zone
limit too. |

smb: client: fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO
Commit c68337442f03 ("cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting") fixed
the issue in cifs where deferred close of a file led to a dentry reference
count not being released in umount, by flushing deferredclose_wq in
cifs_kill_sb() to solve it.
However, the cifs DIO path suffers from the same busy-dentry problem caused
by a delayed dentry reference-count release:

BUG: Dentry 00000000eab1f070{i=9a917b66ae404fec,n=test} still in use (1)
[unmount of cifs cifs]
The existing per-inode ictx->io_count wait in cifs_evict_inode() does not
help: it lives in the inode eviction path, which runs after
shrink_dcache_for_umount() has already warned about the busy dentries.
Fix it by adding a per-superblock outstanding-rreq counter that is
incremented in cifs_init_request() and decremented in cifs_free_request().
In cifs_kill_sb(), before kill_anon_super(), wait for this counter to reach
0 - which guarantees that all cleanup_work for this sb have run and thus
all relevant cfile puts are queued on fileinfo_put_wq or serverclose_wq.
Then drain the workqueue so the dentry refs are dropped.
This is a targeted wait, not a flush of the system-wide system_dfl_wq. |

perf/x86/amd/core: Avoid enabling BRS from the SVM reload path
Branch Sampling (BRS) and Last Branch Record (LBR) are mutually
exclusive hardware features, and users of both are tracked via
cpuc->lbr_users.
When SVM is toggled on a CPU, the host perf events are reprogrammed to
update the HostOnly filter bit (set when virtualization is enabled,
cleared when it is disabled). On PerfMonV2-capable processors, this
reprogramming is performed by calling amd_pmu_enable_all() to rewrite
the event selectors. However, amd_pmu_enable_all() also calls
amd_brs_enable_all(), which enables BRS whenever cpuc->lbr_users > 0.
Having active LBR events satisfies this gating on processors that have
LBR but not BRS. The kernel then tries to set the BRS enable bit in
DebugExtnCfg (MSR 0xc000010f). Since that bit is deprecated on such
hardware, the write results in a #GP:

ntfs: skip extent mft records in writeback to prevent deadlock
This patch fixes the ABBA deadlock between extent_lock and extent
mrec_lock triggered by xfstests generic/113, that occurs since the commit
6994acf33bae ("ntfs: use base mft_no when looking up base inode for
extent record").
Path A (inode writeback):
VFS writeback
-> ntfs_write_inode()
-> __ntfs_write_inode()
-> mutex_lock(&ni->extent_lock)
-> mutex_lock(&tni->mrec_lock)
Path B (MFT folio writeback):
VFS writeback of $MFT dirty folios
-> ntfs_mft_writepages()
-> ntfs_write_mft_block()
-> ntfs_may_write_mft_record()
-> holds one extent mrec_lock from a previous iteration
-> tries to acquire another base inode extent_lock
By removing all extent_lock and extent mrec_lock acquisition from the MFT
folio writeback path, the ABBA lock ordering is eliminated:
Path A: __ntfs_write_inode(): extent_lock -> mrec_lock
Path B (removed): ntfs_write_mft_block(): mrec_lock -> extent_lock
Path B is always redundant for extent records because:
1. mark_mft_record_dirty(ext_ni) does NOT dirty the MFT folio.
It only sets NInoDirty(ext_ni) and marks the base VFS inode dirty
via __mark_inode_dirty(I_DIRTY_DATASYNC), which triggers Path A.
Therefore, normal extent modifications never create a situation where
the MFT folio is dirty and Path B is not scheduled.
2. The MFT folio only gets dirtied via ntfs_mft_mark_dirty() inside
ntfs_mft_record_alloc(). But all identified callers in attrib.c
(ntfs_attr_add, ntfs_attr_record_move_away,
ntfs_attr_make_non_resident, ntfs_attr_record_resize) follow through
with mark_mft_record_dirty(), which triggers Path A to write the
complete record.
3. ntfs_evict_big_inode() calls ntfs_commit_inode() before freeing extent
inodes, ensuring all dirty extents are flushed via Path A before the
base inode leaves the icache. |
