CVSS v3.1 |
| Exterro FTK Imager before 8.3 contains an XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability that allows attackers to read arbitrary files from the host filesystem by embedding malicious external entity references and attacker-controlled XSLT stylesheets within a Report.xml file inside a UFDR ZIP evidence item. Attackers can craft a malicious UFDR archive that, when previewed by an examiner, causes the XML parser to resolve file:// external entity references and execute msxsl:script within the external stylesheet to exfiltrate the resolved file contents to an attacker-controlled endpoint via a generated image URL. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch()
migrate_pages_batch() unmaps each folio before moving it, and every
unmap runs the mmu_notifier invalidate callbacks. On KVM hosts
try_to_migrate() ends up in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
tdp_mmu_zap_leafs(), which is expensive, so unmapping a large batch keeps
the CPU busy for a long time.
The loop already calls cond_resched(), but on PREEMPTION kernels that is
a no-op, and involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent state.
A long batch therefore never reports a quiescent state, and the
migrating task (e.g. kcompactd) becomes a Tasks-RCU holdout, stalling the
Tasks-RCU grace period for minutes, which is common at Meta fleet:

mm/vmscan: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in shrink_lruvec()
I am seeing some rcu_tasks stalls in the Meta fleet during reclaim.
INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:

Nothing promises direct reclaim returns in bounded time, and the scan loop
in shrink_lruvec() only calls cond_resched(), which is a no-op on
PREEMPTION kernels. Involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent
state, so the reclaiming task never reports one and becomes a holdout.
Upgrade it to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), which reports a quiescent state
even when cond_resched() does nothing.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication
dup_task_struct() copies user_event_mm from the parent into the child,
without grabbing a reference to it. user_event_mm_dup() should
replace it, but it leaves that copied pointer unmodified if
user_event_mm_alloc() fails.
When the child exits, user_event_mm_remove() decrements a reference
the child never owned, which ultimately frees user_event_mm, while
the parent still as a stale pointer to it. This creates a UAF, which
KASAN reports as:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers
When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same
name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data. Both are added to
tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(),
because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while
the named reuse is only detected later, in hist_register_trigger().
In the named-data branch hist_register_trigger() then frees the second
histogram's hist_data via destroy_hist_data(), but never removes its
tr->hist_vars list entry, leaving a dangling pointer and leaking the
trace_array reference it holds.
A later hist trigger that references a variable makes find_var_file()
walk tr->hist_vars and dereference the freed hist_data. The bug is
reproducible from userspace by writing three hist triggers to tracefs:
cd /sys/kernel/tracing
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x' > events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: mport_cdev: fix use-after-free in dma_req_free()
dma_req_free() acquires buf_mutex through req->map, drops the mapping
reference with kref_put(), and then dereferences req->map again to unlock
the mutex.
If kref_put() drops the last reference, mport_release_mapping() frees the
mapping, and the subsequent mutex_unlock() dereferences a freed object.
This is a use-after-free.
Fix this by caching map and md before kref_put(), clearing req->map while
holding buf_mutex, and using the cached md for mutex unlocking.
The bug is reachable from userspace via the RapidIO mport character device
interface. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_audio: Fix use-after-free on sound card disconnect
g_audio_cleanup() invokes snd_card_free_when_closed() to initiate sound
card teardown and immediately frees the underlying struct snd_uac_chip
context. However, snd_card_free_when_closed() returns asynchronously
while ALSA control elements (kctls) remain open in userspace.
When userspace control applications access or close these open file
descriptors, kctl callbacks attempt to dereference kctl->private_data
pointing to &uac->c_prm or &uac->p_prm within the freed uac structure,
resulting in a use-after-free (UAF) memory corruption.
Fix this issue by deferring the destruction of struct snd_uac_chip until
all references to the ALSA sound card are released. Register a custom
card->private_free callback (u_audio_card_free) during g_audio_setup()
that frees uac and its associated playback/capture request and ring
buffers only when the sound card reference count drops to zero. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: uvc: fix dangling pointers in uvc_function_bind() and uvc_function_unbind()
In uvc_function_bind() error path, we use usb_ep_free_request which
uses uvc->control_req but does not set it to NULL afterwards. Thus,
uvc->control_req is a dangling pointer causing a UAF. Also we do not set
the uvc->control_buf pointer to NULL after freeing it, which is another
dangling pointer. Fix it by setting uvc->control_req to NULL after we run
usb_ep_free_request() and uvc->control_buf to NULL after kfree. Do the
same for uvc_function_unbind(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: restart ssc_expire_umount walk after dropping nfsd_ssc_lock
nfsd4_ssc_expire_umount() walks nn->nfsd_ssc_mount_list with
list_for_each_entry_safe(ni, tmp, ...). For each expired entry it
sets nsui_busy = true, drops nfsd_ssc_lock to run mntput() on the
source vfsmount, then reacquires the lock to list_del + kfree the
entry and continue iterating via the macro's saved tmp pointer.
The nsui_busy flag protects the current ni from concurrent
nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul() finders during the lock-drop window, but it
does not pin tmp. Another nfsd RPC thread that fails its source-
server mount and reaches nfsd4_ssc_cancel_dul() will, during that
same window, take nfsd_ssc_lock, list_del + kfree its own ssc_umount
item, and release the lock. If that item is the saved tmp of the
expire walk, the next iteration dereferences a freed
nfsd4_ssc_umount_item.
Restart the walk from the head after the mntput() unlock window so
no saved next pointer survives the lock-drop. The list is bounded
by the number of active inter-server source mounts (typically small)
and the expire delayed-work runs periodically rather than per-IO,
so the restart is cheap. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix cpntf publish race in nfs4_init_cp_state
nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state() published the new cpntf entry into the
s2s_cp_stateids IDR (with cs_type set) in one s2s_cp_lock section, then
took the lock again to list_add() it onto p_stid->sc_cp_list. In the gap
the entry is reachable by so_id but cp_list is still {NULL,NULL} from
kzalloc. A racing OFFLOAD_CANCEL (so_id is echoed to the client as
cnr_stateid, so any NFSv4.2 client can drive it) reaches
manage_cpntf_state() -> _free_cpntf_state_locked() and does list_del() on
the zeroed list_head, oopsing the server.
Fold the cs_type assignment and the list_add() into the same critical
section as idr_alloc_cyclic(), so a concurrent lookup either misses the
entry or sees a fully linked cp_list. INIT_LIST_HEAD() the entry after
allocation and switch _free_cpntf_state_locked() to list_del_init() so a
stale unlink is a no-op. nfs4_init_copy_state() passes NULL p_stid and
skips the list_add, preserving NFS4_COPY_STID semantics. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: initialize copy-notify stateid before publishing it
nfsd4_copy_notify() finished initializing the cpntf state after
nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state() had already linked it into the
s2s_cp_stateids IDR and the parent's sc_cp_list, with cs_count == 1 (the
membership reference) and none held for the caller. A racing
OFFLOAD_CANCEL (crafted cl_id == nn->s2s_cp_cl_id plus the guessable
so_id) could reach manage_cpntf_state() and free the entry, turning the
caller's subsequent cpn_cnr_stateid read and cp_p_stateid/cp_p_clid
writes into use-after-free. The owning clientid was also only recorded
after publication, so it could not gate an ownership check in that window.
Record cp_p_stateid and cp_p_clid inside nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state()
before nfs4_init_cp_state() publishes the entry, and return it with an
extra reference. The caller reads the stateid under that reference and
drops it with nfs4_put_cpntf_state(); on a late error the laundromat
reaps the entry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: revoke copy-notify stateids before dropping their reference
Copy-notify stateids live in the s2s_cp_stateids IDR and on their parent
stid's sc_cp_list, pinned by a single membership reference.
_free_cpntf_state_locked() only unlinks an entry once its refcount reaches
zero, so any revoke path that runs while a concurrent
find_cpntf_state()/manage_cpntf_state() holder has elevated cs_count drops
the reference without unlinking, leaving the entry discoverable with its
membership reference already consumed. A second revoke or a laundromat tick
then frees it while the reader still holds the pointer -- a
KASAN-detectable use-after-free at the reader's nfs4_put_cpntf_state().
This affected all three revoke paths:
- The parent-stid drain (nfs4_free_cpntf_statelist()) repeatedly called
_free_cpntf_state_locked() on the first list entry; a holder that had
bumped cs_count made it return early, so the next iteration
re-decremented and burned the holder's reference.
- OFFLOAD_CANCEL (manage_cpntf_state()) and laundromat expiry likewise
used _free_cpntf_state_locked() and could drop 2->1 without unlinking.
Add revoke_cpntf_state_locked(), which unhashes the entry from the IDR and
sc_cp_list first (deferring the final free to any holder), and use it from
all three revoke paths. The drain now walks with list_for_each_entry_safe()
and revokes each entry unconditionally, so it terminates in one pass per
entry regardless of cs_count. The unhash is gated on
!list_empty(&cps->cp_list); the idr_remove() gate matters because
idr_alloc_cyclic() may have recycled the so_id by then. Keep
_free_cpntf_state_locked() for the reference-holder put path only, where a
concurrent revoke may already have unlinked the entry (its list_del_init()
then a no-op). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: avoid dropping live tree ref on fsnotify rule autoremove
audit_del_rule() is used for both netlink deletion templates and internal
fsnotify autoremove. The former passes a parsed template which owns a
temporary tree reference; the latter passes the installed entry itself.
The unconditional audit_put_tree() at the end of audit_del_rule() assumes
the template case. For mixed AUDIT_DIR plus AUDIT_EXE rules, an fsnotify
autoremove event therefore drops the installed rule's live tree reference.
Repeating this across rules sharing the same tree can free the tree while
another rule still references it, and a later autoremove dereferences the
freed pathname while comparing rules.
Move the temporary-tree put to audit_rule_change(), the caller that owns
deletion templates. Keep it in the AUDIT_DEL_RULE cleanup so both
successful deletion and -ENOENT still release the parser-owned tree.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: clear ce->tgthint in free_tgts()
When free_tgts() frees all structures in ce->tlist, ce->tgthint
is left pointing to one of the freed cache_dfs_tgt structures.
If ce->tgthint is not reset before it is used later, it results
in a use-after-free.
Set ce->tgthint to NULL in free_tgts() after the elements are
freed to reflect that no elements remain. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: mcp2221: stop device IO before hid_hw_stop
Quiesce device IO at the start of the devm cleanup callback
mcp2221_hid_unregister() so that incoming HID reports cannot race with
hardware teardown during probe failure or device removal, addressing a
potential use-after-free.
Guard the call to hid_device_io_stop() with io_started. On normal
removal hid_device_remove() has already cleared io_started before the
devres group is released, so an unconditional call would otherwise hit
the !io_started path and emit a spurious "io already stopped" warning
on every removal. The guard preserves the probe-failure balancing,
where io_started is still set after hid_device_io_start(), while
staying silent on the normal removal path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei()
eventfs_create_dir() allocates the eventfs_inode and initializes it with
init_ei(). But this does not initialize the eventfs_inode list_heads. If
the eventfs_create_dir() fails due to memory pressure, it will call
free_ei() before it initialized the lists, and that checks to make sure
the eventfs_inode has no children. But because the list wasn't
initialized, it will give a false warning.
Fix it by moving the list initialization into init_ei().

ecryptfs: hold msg ctx list lock when cleaning daemon queue
ecryptfs_exorcise_daemon() drops queued messages from a dying daemon
without holding ecryptfs_msg_ctx_lists_mux, but
ecryptfs_msg_ctx_alloc_to_free() requires that lock.
Take the list lock while moving the queued contexts back to the free
list to avoid racing with other global msg ctx list users. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
auxdisplay: charlcd: cancel backlight work on registration failure
With CONFIG_CHARLCD_BL_FLASH, charlcd_init() schedules bl_work before
charlcd_register() calls misc_register(). If registration fails, the
caller frees the charlcd object while delayed work still contains its
address.
Add charlcd_deinit() to cancel the delayed work and turn the backlight
off. Use it for both registration rollback and normal unregistration. |

Bluetooth: RFCOMM: serialize security confirmation handling
rfcomm_security_cfm() looks up a session on session_list and then walks
its DLC list without holding rfcomm_mutex. Since RFCOMM session teardown
uses rfcomm_mutex, krfcommd can close and free the same session and DLCs
concurrently:
hci_rx_work krfcommd
----------- ---------
rfcomm_session_get()
rfcomm_lock()
rfcomm_session_close()
rfcomm_dlc_unlink()
rfcomm_session_del()
kfree(s)
rfcomm_unlock()
walk s->dlcs
The callback can then read a freed session list head and touch freed DLCs
while updating their flags or timers.
Serialize the session lookup and DLC traversal in rfcomm_security_cfm()
with rfcomm_mutex. This matches the existing RFCOMM session lifetime
rules and prevents concurrent rfcomm_session_del() / rfcomm_dlc_unlink()
from tearing the objects down while the callback is using them.
