| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_qca: fix NULL pointer dereference in qca_setup() for non-serdev device
hu->serdev is NULL for hci_uart attached via non-serdev paths, but
qca_setup() unconditionally calls serdev_device_get_drvdata(hu->serdev)
and dereferences the result, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix by guarding the dereference with a NULL check, consistent with the
rest of qca_setup(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix devx subscribe-event unwind NULL dereference
MLX5_IB_METHOD_DEVX_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT() links event_sub into sub_list
before initializing the fields used by the shared error path.
If eventfd_ctx_fdget() then fails, the unwind path dereferences
event_sub->ev_file in uverbs_uobject_put() and calls
subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() with an unset xa_key_level1.
subscribe_event_xa_alloc() creates the XA entry exactly once for a given
key_level1, on the first occurrence of that key. The unwind path must
therefore call subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() exactly once for it as well.
Enforce that by adding devx_key_in_sub_list() and calling
subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() only when the last matching pending entry is
being cleaned up. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: ipv6: clamp default adverting MSS to avoid GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xFFFF)
When MTU is large, ip6_default_advmss() can return IPV6_MAXPLEN (65535).
This is interpreted by TCP as mss_clamp, allowing the MSS to reach 65535.
However, 0xFFFF is also used as a magic value GSO_BY_FRAGS in the kernel.
If a TCP packet with gso_size=0xFFFF is passed to skb_segment(), it will
be mistakenly treated as GSO_BY_FRAGS, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference because local TCP packets do not use frag_list.
Fix this by returning min(IPV6_MAXPLEN, GSO_BY_FRAGS - 1) (65534) from
ip6_default_advmss() when MTU is large.
Also update the stale comment in ip6_default_advmss() which suggested
that IPV6_MAXPLEN is returned to mean "any MSS". |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_dualpi2: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen
Whenever dualpi2 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 dualpi2 still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,
mistakenly deactivates the parent's class which leads to a null-ptr-deref:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
After commit 12e9e3cd03b5 ("simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache"),
kernfs_xattr_set() and kernfs_xattr_get() compute the cache via
kernfs_root(kn) before any other check. kernfs_root(kn) walks
kn->__parent first and falls back to kn->dir.root, both of which are
NULL on a freshly kmem_cache_zalloc()'d kn. kn->__parent was being set
in kernfs_new_node() after __kernfs_new_node() returned, and kn->dir.root
is set even later by kernfs_create_dir_ns() / kernfs_create_empty_dir().
The LSM kernfs_init_security hook is invoked from inside
__kernfs_new_node(), before either field has been initialized.
selinux_kernfs_init_security() ends with kernfs_xattr_set(kn,
XATTR_NAME_SELINUX, ...). kernfs_root(kn) then returns NULL, and
&((struct kernfs_root *)NULL)->xa_cache evaluates to
offsetof(struct kernfs_root, xa_cache) which faults:

Reproduces deterministically at PID 1 (systemd) on an SELinux-enabled
distro. The first cgroup mkdir under /sys/fs/cgroup with a labelled
parent panics the kernel.
The LSM hook's contract is that the kn_dir argument is the parent of
the new kn, so kn->__parent should already point at kn_dir when the
hook runs. Move kernfs_get(parent) and rcu_assign_pointer of
kn->__parent from kernfs_new_node() into __kernfs_new_node() right
before the security hook, and unwind the parent reference on the
err_out4 path. kernfs_root(kn) then takes its parent branch during
the hook and returns parent->dir.root, which is the correct root.
This also closes the same-shape latent bug in kernfs_xattr_get() (which
today is hidden only by kernfs_iattrs_noalloc() returning NULL on a
fresh kn). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: rxrpc_verify_data ensure rx_dec_buffer alloc
rxrpc_recvmsg_data() calls rxrpc_verify_data() whenever the
rxrpc_call.rx_dec_buffer is unallocated and assumes that upon
successful return that rx_dec_buffer must be allocated.
However, rxrpc_verify_data() does not request an allocation if
the rxrpc_skb_priv.len is zero.
In addition, failure to allocate rx_dec_buffer will result in a
call to skb_copy_bits() with a NULL destination which can
trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
To prevent these issues rxrpc_verify_data() is modified to
always attempt to allocate the rxrpc_call.rx_dec_buffer if it
is NULL.
This issue was identified with assistance of a private
sashiko instance. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix invalid pointer dereference in __btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
In the beginning of the loop, we try to obtain a locked delayed ref head,
if 'locked_ref' is currently NULL, by calling btrfs_select_ref_head(),
which can return an error pointer. If the error pointer is -EAGAIN we do
a continue and go back to the beginning of the loop, which will not try
again to call btrfs_select_ref_head() since 'locked_ref' is no longer
NULL but it's ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN), and then we do:
spin_lock(&locked_ref->lock);
against a ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) value, generating an invalid pointer
dereference.
Fix this by ensuring that 'locked_ref' is set to NULL when
btrfs_select_ref_head() returns ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) and incrementing 'count'
as well, to prevent infinite looping. We do this by doing a goto to the
bottom of the loop that already sets 'locked_ref' to NULL and does a
cond_resched(), with an increment to 'count' right before the goto.
These measures were in place before the refactoring in commit 0110a4c43451
("btrfs: refactor __btrfs_run_delayed_refs loop") but were unintentionally
lost afterwards. |

bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_task_from_vpid()
bpf_task_from_vpid() looks up a task in the pid namespace of the
current task, via find_task_by_vpid():
find_task_by_vpid(vpid)
find_task_by_pid_ns(vpid, task_active_pid_ns(current))
find_pid_ns(nr, ns) -> idr_find(&ns->idr, nr)
cgroup_skb programs run in softirq, which may interrupt a task that is
itself in do_exit(). Once that task has passed
exit_notify() -> release_task() -> __unhash_process(), its thread_pid is
cleared, so task_active_pid_ns(current) returns NULL and find_pid_ns()
dereferences &NULL->idr:

fbcon: fix NULL pointer dereference for a console without vc_data
fbcon_new_modelist() runs when a framebuffer's modelist changes. For each
console mapped to it with fb_display[i].mode set, it reads vc_cons[i].d and
passes the vc_num to fbcon_set_disp(). This assumes a console with a mode
set has a vc_data, but it can be NULL. fbcon_set_disp() sets
fb_display[i].mode before it checks vc_data, and fbcon_deinit() leaves the
mode set after the vc_data is freed. fbcon_new_modelist() then dereferences
the NULL vc_data.
Keep fb_display[i].mode set only while the console has a vc_data. Check
vc_data before setting the mode in fbcon_set_disp(), and clear the mode in
fbcon_deinit(). The existing mode check in fbcon_new_modelist() then skips
such consoles. |

btrfs: skip global block reserve accounting for rescue mounts
[BUG]
Mounting with rescue=ibadroots after corrupting the block group tree
root triggers a NULL pointer dereference:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000100
RIP: 0010:btrfs_update_global_block_rsv+0x9d/0x1c0 [btrfs]

open_ctree+0xc6e/0x1ca0 [btrfs]
btrfs_get_tree+0x50d/0xa40 [btrfs]
The same crash occurs with a corrupted raid stripe tree root, via
btrfs_read_block_groups() instead of fill_dummy_bgs().
[CAUSE]
With rescue=ibadroots, btrfs_read_roots() allows the mount to continue
when either root cannot be read, leaving the corresponding root pointer
NULL while its on-disk feature bit remains set.
btrfs_update_global_block_rsv() then dereferences the missing root based
on the feature bit alone.
[FIX]
Rescue mounts are fully read-only and cannot start transactions, so the
global reserve is never consumed. Under btrfs_is_full_ro(), mark the
reserve as full and return before performing the accounting.
And since we need to check if the fs is mount fully RO, export
fs_is_full_ro() as btrfs_is_full_ro(), and move it to fs.h.
[ Squash the fs_is_full_ro() export commit into this one. ] |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (lm90) Only report alarms if driver is ready
Userspace can read sysfs attributes before driver registration is complete,
immediately after devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() has been called.
At that time, data->hwmon_dev is not yet initialized. This can trigger
a NULL pointer access since lm90_update_device() and with it
lm90_update_alarms_locked() will be called. This call schedules
report_work and lm90_report_alarms(), which passes the still-NULL
data->hwmon_dev to hwmon_notify_event() and triggers a NULL pointer
dereference.
Fix the problem by only scheduling the report and alert workers
data->hwmon_dev is set. |

Bluetooth: hci_sync: hold conn in hci_connect_big_sync() callback
There is theoretical UAF if the conn is freed while the hci_sync task is

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: lock sk in iso_connect_ind
Accessing iso_pi(sk)->conn requires lock_sock, which is not taken in the
"ev3" part of iso_connect_ind. It may also be NULL if socket has
transitioned away from the LISTEN/CONNECT states before locking.
Fix by adding lock/release. Recheck hcon is valid after lock acquire
where needed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of/address: Fix NULL bus dereference in of_pci_range_parser_one()
The bus matching rework made of_match_bus() return NULL for nodes with
ranges/dma-ranges but no local #address-cells. parser_init() stored that
NULL bus, and the range iterator later dereferenced it.
Reject such nodes in parser_init(), leaving an explicit empty
iterator for callers that ignore the init return, and make
of_dma_get_max_cpu_address() honour the init failure so a rejected node
cannot clamp the DMA limit. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix crash in bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr for negative dentries
bpf_set_dentry_xattr and bpf_remove_dentry_xattr BPF kfuncs attempt to
lock the inode of the supplied dentry without checking if it is
NULL. If a negative dentry is passed (e.g. from
security_inode_create), d_inode(dentry) returns NULL, and
inode_lock(inode) will cause a NULL pointer dereference.
Trivially fix this by adding a NULL check for inode before attempting
to lock it, returning -EINVAL if it is NULL.
Additionally, drop WARN_ON(!inode) in bpf_xattr_read_permission() and
bpf_xattr_write_permission(). These warnings could be triggered by
passing a negative dentry to bpf_get_dentry_xattr() or the _locked
variants of the xattr kfuncs, potentially causing a Denial of Service
on systems with panic_on_warn enabled. Instead, simply return -EINVAL. |

crypto: ccp - Check for page allocation failure correctly in TIO
Sashiko notes:

Indeed, page_address(NULL) will return non-NULL garbage here. Fix this by
checking the page allocation itself for NULL, not the resulting virtual
address. |

dma-fence: Fix potential tracepoint null pointer dereferences
Trace_dma_fence_signaled, trace_dma_fence_wait_end and
trace_dma_fence_destroy can all currently dereference a null fence->ops
pointer after it has been reset on fence signalling.
Lets use the safe string getters for most tracepoints to avoid this class
of a problem, while for the signal tracepoint we move it to before ops are
cleared to avoid losing the driver and timeline name information. Apart
from moving it we also need to add a new tracepoint class to bypass the
safe name getters since the signaled bit is already set.
For dma_fence_init we also need to use the new tracepoint class since the
rcu read lock is not held there, and we can do the same for the enable
signaling since there we are certain the fence cannot be signaled while
we are holding the lock and have even validated the fence->ops. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: handle CB.InitCallBackState3 requests without a server record
The cache manager callback path now attaches the server record to an
incoming call through the rxrpc peer's app data. That association is
not guaranteed to exist for every callback request, and most callback
handlers already tolerate that case.
Make CB.InitCallBackState3 follow the same pattern by checking whether a
server record was attached before using it. If the peer is not mapped
to a server record, trace the request and ignore it, matching the
existing behaviour for other unmatched callback requests.
This keeps the callback handler consistent with the rest of the cache
manager service and avoids depending on peer state that may not be
available for a given request. |

afs: fix NULL pointer dereference in afs_get_tree()

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. |
