| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: Fix error code in smb2_aead_req_alloc()
The "*num_sgs" variable is a u32 so "ERR_PTR(*num_sgs)" doesn't work.
We would have to do something similar to the previous line where it's
cast to int and then long. However, it's simpler to store the return in
an int ret variable.
This bug would eventually result in a crash when dereference the invalid
error pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix double-free in SMB2_close() replay
A response-bearing attempt can return a replayable error and free its
response buffer. If SMB2_close_init() fails before the next send, cleanup
retains the previous buffer type and frees that response again.
Reset response bookkeeping before each attempt to prevent the stale free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix a use-after-free problem in rxe_mmap
rxe_mmap() removes a rxe_mmap_info struct from the pending_mmaps list
and releases pending_lock while the struct's kref is still at 1:
list_del_init(&ip->pending_mmaps);
spin_unlock_bh(&rxe->pending_lock); /* ref == 1, no lock held */
ret = remap_vmalloc_range(vma, ip->obj, 0); /* walks PTEs */
[...]
rxe_vma_open(vma); /* kref_get, ref → 2 */
remap_vmalloc_range_partial() walks PTEs without any lock.
A concurrent DESTROY_CQ ioctl on another CPU calls:
kref_put(&q->ip->ref, rxe_mmap_release) /* ref 1→0 */
vfree(ip->obj) /* clears vmalloc PTEs mid-walk */
kfree(ip) /* frees rxe_mmap_info */
This yields:
1. Kernel crash, vmalloc_to_page() returns NULL when vfree wins the
per-PTE race -> vm_insert_page(NULL) → GPF in validate_page_before_insert
2. Page UAF, vmalloc_to_page() reads a stale PTE before vfree clears
it. User VMA holds a PTE to a free'd page which might eventually get
reallocated later by vmalloc which allows the attacker to get a clean
page-level UAF.
It is worth noting that even though a page-level UAF is possible given
the strong primitive, it is statistically very difficult to achieve
given the very short time window (after the last insert_page and before
the kref_get).
The call trace are as below:

xfrm: fix sk_dst_cache double-free in xfrm_user_policy()
xfrm_user_policy() clears the socket dst cache with __sk_dst_reset(),
i.e. the non-atomic __sk_dst_set(sk, NULL): it reads sk_dst_cache with
rcu_dereference_protected(), stores NULL and dst_release()s the old dst.
That is only safe if no other thread modifies sk_dst_cache concurrently.
For a connected UDP socket that does not hold: the transmit fast path
(udp_sendmsg -> sk_dst_check -> sk_dst_reset) resets the cache locklessly
with an atomic xchg(). A per-socket policy change racing a send can make
both sides observe the same old dst and each dst_release() it, dropping
the socket's single reference twice and freeing the xfrm_dst bundle while
it is still referenced:

bpf: tcp: fix double sock release on batch realloc
bpf_iter_tcp_batch() releases the current batch via
bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch(), which drops the socket refs and rewrites
each slot with the socket cookie, then grows the batch. cur_sk/end_sk
are kept for bpf_iter_tcp_resume(), but on realloc failure the function
returns ERR_PTR() before resume runs, leaving cur_sk < end_sk over
slots that now hold cookies rather than sock pointers.
bpf_iter_tcp_seq_stop() then calls bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch() again and
dereferences a cookie as a struct sock.
Empty the batch on the failure path so stop() does not release it
again. The sockets were already freed by the first
bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch(), so nothing leaks, and a later read() rescans
the bucket from the start instead of skipping it. The sibling
GFP_NOWAIT failure path still holds real socket references and is left
for stop() to release.

wifi: mac80211: tear down new links on vif update error path
When ieee80211_vif_update_links() adds new links it allocates a link
container for each and calls ieee80211_link_init() (which registers the
per-link debugfs files with file->private_data pointing into the container)
and ieee80211_link_setup(). If the subsequent drv_change_vif_links() fails,
the error path restores the old pointers and jumps to 'free', which frees
the new containers but never removes their debugfs entries or stops the
links. The debugfs files survive with file->private_data dangling at the
freed container, so a later open()+read() (e.g. link-1/txpower)
dereferences freed memory in ieee80211_if_read_link(), a use-after-free.
The removal path already dismantles links correctly via
ieee80211_tear_down_links(), which removes each link's keys and debugfs
entries and calls ieee80211_link_stop(); the add path on the error branch
does not. Commit be1ba9ed221f ("wifi: mac80211: avoid weird state in error
path") hardened this same error path for the link-removal case
(new_links == 0) but left the newly-added links' teardown unaddressed.
drv_change_vif_links() can fail at runtime on MLO drivers (internal
allocation / queue / firmware command failures).
Remove the new links' debugfs entries and stop them before freeing.

sctp: don't free the ASCONF's own transport in DEL-IP processing
sctp_process_asconf() caches the transport the ASCONF chunk is processed
against in asconf->transport (== chunk->transport, set once in sctp_rcv()).
For an ASCONF located through its Address Parameter by
__sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup(), that cached transport corresponds to the
Address Parameter, which need not be the packet's source address.
sctp_process_asconf_param() rejects a DEL-IP for the packet source address
(ADDIP D8, SCTP_ERROR_DEL_SRC_IP), but nothing protects asconf->transport.
A single ASCONF can therefore carry, in order:
[Address Parameter L] [DEL-IP L] [DEL-IP 0.0.0.0]
where L differs from the source. The DEL-IP for L passes the D8 check and
calls sctp_assoc_rm_peer() on the transport that asconf->transport still
points at, freeing it (RCU-deferred). The following wildcard DEL-IP then
reuses the now-dangling asconf->transport in sctp_assoc_set_primary() and
sctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(): set_primary() dereferences the freed
transport (->ipaddr, ->state) and plants the dangling pointer into
asoc->peer.primary_path / active_path, and del_nonprimary_peers(), keeping
only the pointer that is no longer on the list, removes every real
transport, leaving the association with a transport_count of 0 and
primary_path/active_path pointing at freed memory.
Reject a DEL-IP that targets the transport the ASCONF is being processed
against, mirroring the existing source-address guard, so the wildcard
branch can never reuse a freed transport. |

rhashtable: clear stale iter->p on table restart
rhashtable_walk_start_check() has two restart paths when resuming a walk.
When iter->walker.tbl is valid, it re-validates iter->p against the table
and sets iter->p = NULL if the object is gone. When iter->walker.tbl is
NULL (table was freed during resize), it resets slot and skip but forgets
to clear iter->p.
rhashtable_walk_next() then dereferences the stale iter->p, reading
freed memory. This is a use-after-free.
Any caller that does multi-fragment rhashtable walks across
walk_stop/walk_start boundaries is affected. Concrete cases include
netlink_diag (__netlink_diag_dump in net/netlink/diag.c) and TIPC
(tipc_nl_sk_walk in net/tipc/socket.c).

KVM: nVMX: Hide shadow VMCS right after VMCLEAR
free_nested() frees the shadow VMCS while vmcs01 still points to it. But
because it is asynchronous with respect to loaded_vmcs_clear(), the vCPU
might migrate before the pointer is cleared and __loaded_vmcs_clear()
may then execute VMCLEAR.
The VMCS needs to stay attached until its explicit VMCLEAR completes, but
then it can be hidden and the page safely freed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Check for invalid/obsolete root *after* making MMU pages available
Check for a "stale" page fault, i.e. for an invalid and/or obsolete root,
after making MMU pages available for the shadow MMU. If reclaiming shadow
pages zaps an in-use root, i.e. marks it invalid, then KVM will attempt to
map memory into an invalid root. On its own, populating an invalid root is
"fine", but because child shadow pages inherit their parent's role, any
children created during the map/fetch will be created as invalid pages,
thus violating KVM's invariant that invalid pages are never on the list of
active MMU pages.
Note, the underlying flaw has existed since KVM first started tracking
invalid roots in 2008 (commit 2e53d63acba7, "KVM: MMU: ignore zapped root
pagetables"), but the true badness only came along in 2020 (Linux 5.9)
with the invariant that invalid shadow pages can't be on the list of
active pages.
Note #2, inheriting role.invalid when creating child shadow pages is also
far from ideal; that flaw will be addressed separately. |

posix-cpu-timers: Prevent UAF caused by non-leader exec() race
Wongi and Jungwoo decoded and reported a non-leader exec() related race
which can result in an UAF:
sys_timer_delete() exec()
posix_cpu_timer_del()
// Observes old leader
p = pid_task(pid, pid_type); de_thread()
switch_leader();
release_task(old_leader)
__exit_signal(old_leader)
sighand = lock(old_leader, sighand);
posix_cpu_timers*_exit();
sighand = lock_task_sighand(p) unhash_task(old_leader);
sh = lock(p, sighand) old_leader->sighand = NULL;
unlock(sighand);
(p->sighand == NULL)
unlock(sh)
return NULL;
// Returns without action
if(!sighand)
return 0;
free_posix_timer();
This is "harmless" unless the deleted timer was armed and enqueued in
p->signal because on exec() a TGID targeted timer is inherited.
As sys_timer_delete() freed the underlying posix timer object
run_posix_cpu_timers() or any timerqueue related add/delete operations on
other timers will access the freed object's timerqueue node, which results
in an UAF.
There is a similar problem vs. posix_cpu_timer_set(). For regular posix
timers it just transiently returns -ESRCH to user space, but for the use
case in do_cpu_nanosleep() it's the same UAF just that the k_itimer is
allocated on the stack.
Also posix_cpu_timer_rearm() fails to rearm the timer, which means it stops
to expire.
While debating solutions Frederic pointed out another problem:
posix_cpu_timer_del(tmr)
__exit_signal(p)
posix_cpu_timers*_exit(p);
unhash_task(p);
p->sighand = NULL;
sh = lock_task_sighand(p)
sighand = p->sighand;
if (!sighand)
return NULL;
lock(sighand);
if (!sh)
WARN_ON_ONCE(timer_queued(tmr));
On weakly ordered architectures it is not guaranteed that
posix_cpu_timer_del() will observe the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit()
when p->sighand is observed as NULL, which means the WARN() can be a false
positive.
Solve these issues by:
1) Changing the store in __exit_signal() to smp_store_release().
2) Adding a smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() into the !sighand path
of lock_task_sighand().
3) Creating a helper function for looking up the task and locking sighand
which does not return when sighand == NULL. Instead it retries the
task lookup and only if that fails it gives up.
4) Using that helper in the three affected functions.
#1/#2 ensures that the reader side which observes sighand == NULL also
observes all preceeding stores, i.e. the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit()
and the ones in unhash_task().
#3 ensures that the above described non-leader exec() situation is handled
gracefully. When the task lookup returns the old leader, but sighand ==
NULL then it retries. In the non-leader exec() case the subsequent task
lookup will observe the new leader due to #1/#2. In normal exit() scenarios
the subsequent lookup fails.
When the task lookup fails, the function also checks whether the timer is
still enqueued and issues a warning if that's the case. Unfortunately there
is nothing which can be done about it, but as the task is already not
longer visible the timer should not be accessed anymore. This check also
requires memory ordering, which is not provided when the first lookup
fails. To achieve that the check is preceeded by a smp_rmb() which pairs
with the smp_wmb() in write_seqlock() in __exit_signal(). That ensures that
the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit() are visible.
The history of the non-leader exec() issue goes back to the early days of
posix CPU timers, which stored a pointer to the group leader task in the
timer. That obviously fails when a non-leader exec() switches the leader.
commit e0a70217107e ("posix-cpu-timers: workaround to suppress the problems
with mt exec") added a temporary workaround for that in 2010 which surv

l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb() returned l2cap_pi(sk)->chan after
release_sock(parent). Once the parent lock is dropped the newly
enqueued child socket sk is reachable via the accept queue, so another
task can accept and free it before the callback dereferences sk,
resulting in a use-after-free.
Rework the ->new_connection() op so the core, rather than the callback,
owns the child channel's lifetime. The op now receives a pre-allocated
new_chan and returns an errno instead of allocating and returning a
channel. l2cap_new_connection() allocates the child channel and links
it into the conn list via __l2cap_chan_add() before invoking the
callback, so the conn-list reference keeps the channel alive once
release_sock(parent) exposes the socket to other tasks.
Channel configuration that was duplicated in l2cap_sock_init() and the
various new_connection callbacks is consolidated into
l2cap_chan_set_defaults(), which now inherits from the parent channel
when one is supplied. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Detach event groups during remove_on_exec
perf_event_remove_on_exec() removes events by calling
perf_event_exit_event(). For top-level events, this removes the event from
the context with DETACH_EXIT only.
This can leave inconsistent group state when a removed event is a group
leader and the group contains siblings without remove_on_exec. If the group
was active, the surviving siblings can remain active and attached to the
removed leader's sibling list, but are no longer represented by a valid
group leader on the PMU context active lists.
A later close of the removed leader uses DETACH_GROUP and can promote the
still-active siblings from this stale group state. The next schedule-in can
then add an already-linked active_list entry again, corrupting the PMU
context active list.
With DEBUG_LIST enabled, this is caught as a list_add double-add in
merge_sched_in().
Fix this by detaching group relationships when remove_on_exec removes an
event. This preserves the existing task-exit and revoke behavior, while
ensuring surviving siblings are ungrouped before the removed event leaves
the context. |

netfilter: bridge: fix stale prevhdr pointer in br_ip6_fragment()
br_ip6_fragment() gets prevhdr, a pointer into the skb head, from
ip6_find_1stfragopt(), then calls skb_checksum_help(). For a cloned skb
skb_checksum_help() reallocates the head via pskb_expand_head(), leaving
prevhdr dangling. It is later dereferenced in ip6_frag_next(), causing a
use-after-free write.
Save prevhdr's offset before skb_checksum_help() and recompute it after,
like commit ef0efcd3bd3f ("ipv6: Fix dangling pointer when ipv6
fragment").

virtio-net: fix len check in receive_big()
receive_big() bounds the device-announced length by
(big_packets_num_skbfrags + 1) * PAGE_SIZE. That is still too loose:
add_recvbuf_big() sets sg[1] to start at offset
sizeof(struct padded_vnet_hdr) into the first page, so the chain
actually carries hdr_len + (PAGE_SIZE - sizeof(padded_vnet_hdr)) +
big_packets_num_skbfrags * PAGE_SIZE bytes -- 20 bytes less than the
check allows for the common hdr_len == 12 case.
A malicious virtio backend can announce a len in that gap. page_to_skb()
then walks one frag past the page chain, storing a NULL page->private
into skb_shinfo()->frags[MAX_SKB_FRAGS], which is both an out-of-bounds
write past the static frag array and a NULL frag handed up the rx path.
Bound len by the size add_recvbuf_big() actually advertised. |
