| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE creation if BPF LSM is uninitialized
When CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is set, BPF inode storage maps
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE) are compiled into the kernel. However,
if the BPF LSM is not explicitly enabled at boot time (e.g. omitted
from the "lsm=" boot parameter), lsm_prepare() is never executed for
the BPF LSM.
Consequently, the BPF inode security blob offset
(bpf_lsm_blob_sizes.lbs_inode) is never initialized and remains at
its default compiled size of 8 bytes instead of being updated to a
valid offset past the reserved struct rcu_head (typically 16 bytes
or more).
When a privileged user creates and updates a BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE
map, bpf_inode() evaluates inode->i_security + 8. This erroneously
aliases the struct rcu_head.func callback pointer at the beginning
of the inode->i_security blob. During subsequent map element cleanup
or inode destruction, writing NULL to owner_storage clears the queued
RCU callback pointer. When rcu_do_batch() later executes the queued
callback, it attempts an instruction fetch at address 0x0, triggering
an immediate kernel panic.
Fix this by introducing a global bpf_lsm_initialized boolean flag
marked with __ro_after_init. Set this flag to true inside bpf_lsm_init()
when the LSM framework successfully registers the BPF LSM. Gate map
allocation in inode_storage_map_alloc() on this flag, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP if the BPF LSM is in turn uninitialized.
This fail-fast approach prevents userspace from allocating inode
storage maps when the supporting BPF LSM infrastructure is absent,
avoiding zombie map states. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: driver: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe
Since 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(),
platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion
object should verify its presence.
Accordingly, add requisite ACPI_COMPANION() or ACPI_HANDLE() checks
against NULL to 13 platform drivers handling core ACPI devices.
Also change the value returned by the ACPI thermal zone driver when
the device's ACPI companion is not present to -ENODEV for consistency
with the other drivers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethtool: phy: avoid NULL deref when PHY driver is unbound
phydev->drv can become NULL while the phy_device is still attached to
its net_device, namely after the PHY driver is unbound via sysfs:
echo <mdio_id> > /sys/bus/mdio_bus/drivers/<phy_drv>/unbind
phy_remove() clears phydev->drv but doesn't call phy_detach(), so the
phy_device stays in the link topology xarray and ethnl_req_get_phydev()
still hands it back. ETHTOOL_MSG_PHY_GET then oopses on:
rep_data->drvname = kstrdup(phydev->drv->name, GFP_KERNEL);
drvname is already treated as optional by phy_reply_size(),
phy_fill_reply() and phy_cleanup_data(), so just skip the allocation
when there is no driver bound. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Disable broadcast TLB flush when PCID is disabled
Booting with "nopcid" clears X86_FEATURE_PCID and keeps CR4.PCIDE from being
set to one. On AMD CPUs that support INVLPGB, broadcast TLB flushing remains
enabled.
There are two checks that decide whether the global ASID code runs,
mm_global_asid() and consider_global_asid(), that key off of the
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB feature. Once an mm becomes active on more than three
CPUs, consider_global_asid() assigns it a global ASID, after which
flush_tlb_mm_range() takes the broadcast_tlb_flush() path using a non-zero
PCID. Issuing an INVLPGB with a non-zero PCID while CR4.PCIDE is not set
results in a #GP:
Oops: general protection fault, kernel NULL pointer dereference 0x1: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

All processors that support broadcast TLB invalidation also have PCID support,
so it is only the "nopcid" scenario that is of concern. In this situation just
disable the broadcast TLB support using the CPUID dependency support by making
X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB dependent on X86_FEATURE_PCID.

wifi: ath12k: fix NULL pointer dereference in rhash table destroy
When unbinding the ath12k driver, kernel NULL pointer dereferences
occur in irq_work_sync() called from rhashtable_destroy().
Two hash tables are affected:
1. ath12k_link_sta hash table in ath12k_base
2. ath12k_dp_link_peer hash table in ath12k_dp
The issue happens because the destroy functions are called unconditionally
in cleanup paths, but the hash tables are only initialized late in their
respective init functions. If the device was never fully started or if the
init functions failed before initializing the hash tables, the pointers
will be NULL. The issues are always reproducible from a VM because the MSI
addressing initialization is failing.

ath12k_pci_remove+0x60/0x110 [ath12k]
Fix this by adding NULL checks before calling rhashtable_destroy() in
both destroy functions.
The NULL check approach was chosen because the rhashtable pointer
serves as the initialization state indicator. The init can fail at
various points, leaving some components uninitialized. Checking the
pointer directly is simpler than adding separate state flags that
would need synchronization. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: fix reversed error cleanup order in ucopy functions
nouveau_uvmm_vm_bind_ucopy() and nouveau_exec_ucopy() place their error
cleanup labels in allocation order rather than reverse allocation order.
On a u_memcpya() failure for in_sync.s, the goto to err_free_ops (or
err_free_pushs) frees the first allocation and then falls through to
err_free_ins, which calls u_free() on args->in_sync.s.
Since args->in_sync.s still holds the ERR_PTR returned by the failed
u_memcpya(), and ERR_PTR values are not caught by ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(),
kvfree() proceeds to dereference it, which can result in a kernel oops.
A failure for out_sync.s instead jumps to err_free_ins and skips freeing
the first allocation, leading to a memory leak.
Fix by swapping the cleanup label order so resources are freed in the
correct reverse allocation sequence. |

ALSA: hda: cs35l41: validate and free ACPI mute object
cs35l41_get_acpi_mute_state() evaluates a _DSM method to get the ACPI
mute state and reads the first byte from the returned object.
However, the returned ACPI object is owned by the caller and is never
freed after use, so each successful query leaks the _DSM result object.
The code also assumes that the returned object is a buffer with at least
one byte. A malformed firmware response can return a different object
type or an empty buffer, and the direct ret->buffer.pointer dereference
can then access an invalid pointer.
Use the typed _DSM helper, validate that the returned buffer contains at
least one byte, and free the ACPI object after reading it. |

regulator: tps65219: fix irq_data.rdev not being assigned
Commit 64a6b577490c ("regulator: tps65219: Remove debugging helper
function") removed the tps65219_get_rdev_by_name() helper along with
the irq_data.rdev assignment that depended on it. This left
irq_data.rdev uninitialized for all IRQs, causing undefined behavior
when regulator_notifier_call_chain() is called from the IRQ handler:
Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004
pc : regulator_notifier_call_chain

Instead of restoring a dedicated lookup array, restructure the probe
function to combine regulator registration with IRQ registration in
the same loop. This way the rdev returned by devm_regulator_register()
is naturally available for assigning to irq_data.rdev without any
auxiliary data structure.
Non-regulator IRQs (SENSOR, TIMEOUT) that don't correspond to any
registered regulator are registered with rdev=NULL, and the IRQ handler
is protected with a NULL check to avoid crashing. |

net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in dev_parse_header_protocol when skb->dev is null
Fixes a NULL pointer derefence bug triggered from tap driver.
When tap_get_user calls virtio_net_hdr_to_skb the skb->dev is null
(in tap.c skb->dev is set after the call to virtio_net_hdr_to_skb)
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb calls dev_parse_header_protocol which
needs skb->dev field to be valid.
The line that trigers the bug is in dev_parse_header_protocol
(dev is at offset 0x10 from skb and is stored in RAX register)
if (!dev->header_ops || !dev->header_ops->parse_protocol)
22e1: mov 0x10(%rbx),%rax
22e5: mov 0x230(%rax),%rax
Setting skb->dev before the call in tap.c fixes the issue.

pds_core: fix auxiliary device add/del races
Two paths add or delete the same slot (pf->vfs[vf_id].padev): a VF's
pdsc_reset_done() and the PF's devlink enable_vnet/disable_vnet handler.
They serialize on config_lock, but neither guards the slot under it
correctly.
add() registers and stores a new auxiliary device without first checking
the slot, so a second add of an already-populated slot leaks the first
device. del() makes that check outside config_lock, so two concurrent
dels can both pass it; the first clears the slot, and the second
dereferences a NULL pointer.
Check and update the slot under config_lock in both paths. |
| Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 versions before 1.98 for Perl allow a NULL pointer dereference in print_attribute via a zero length BMPSTRING attribute.
print_attribute() sizes the destination buffer for a BMPSTRING attribute from its declared byte length with `Renew(*attribute, length, char)`. A zero length attribute makes that a zero size reallocation, which Perl implements as a free returning NULL, so the buffer pointer becomes NULL, the following `strncpy` copies nothing, and the caller dereferences NULL in the `strlen()` it passes to `newSVpvn()`. A zero length BMPSTRING is even length, so the ASN.1 decoder accepts it and the value reaches this code. The UTF8STRING, OCTET STRING and BIT STRING arms size on `length + 1` or `length * 4 + 1` and are unaffected.
Any caller that passes an untrusted PKCS#12 file to info_as_hash() can crash the process. info() prints attribute values directly without sizing a buffer and is unaffected. |

net/sched: Handle TC_ACT_REDIRECT from qdisc filter chains
When a TC filter attached to a qdisc filter chain returns
TC_ACT_REDIRECT (ex: via an eBPF program calling bpf_redirect() or an
act_bpf action), the redirect was silently lost i.e no qdisc classify
function handled TC_ACT_REDIRECT, so the packet fell through the
switch and was enqueued normally instead of being redirected.
This has been broken since bpf_redirect() was introduced for TC in
commit 27b29f63058d ("bpf: add bpf_redirect() helper"). We got lucky
for a long time because bpf_net_context was a per-CPU variable that
was always available.
commit 401cb7dae813 ("net: Reference bpf_redirect_info via task_struct
on PREEMPT_RT.") turned bpf_net_context into a task_struct member that
is only set up by explicit callers. Without a caller setting it up,
bpf_redirect() itself crashes with a NULL pointer dereference in
bpf_net_ctx_get_ri(). However, even with bpf_net_context available,
TC_ACT_REDIRECT from qdisc filter chains cannot be honored without
adding skb_do_redirect() calls to every qdisc classify function, which
would require changes across net/sched/. Isolate it to ebpf core where
it belongs.
Instead, add a tcf_classify_qdisc() inline helper in pkt_cls.h, as a
wrapper around tcf_classify() for use by qdisc classify functions and
tcf_qevent_handle(). When the classify verdict is TC_ACT_REDIRECT,
the wrapper converts it to TC_ACT_SHOT, dropping the packet rather
than letting it continue silently. Dropping is preferred over
letting the packet through because the user immediately sees packet
loss. Silently passing the packet through would hide the problem and
leave the user wondering why their redirect is not working.
The clsact fast path, tc_run() continues to call tcf_classify() directly
and is unaffected: TC_ACT_REDIRECT is returned as-is and handled by
sch_handle_egress/ingress() calling skb_do_redirect() as before. |
