CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: take a reference on the socket found in afiucv_hs_rcv()
afiucv_hs_rcv() looks up the destination socket under iucv_sk_list.lock,
drops the lock, and then passes the socket to the afiucv_hs_callback_*()
handlers without holding a reference. AF_IUCV sockets are not
RCU-protected and are freed synchronously by iucv_sock_kill() ->
sock_put(), so a concurrent close can free the socket in the window
between read_unlock() and the handler, which then dereferences freed
memory (for example sk->sk_data_ready() in afiucv_hs_callback_syn()).
Take a reference with sock_hold() while the socket is still on the list
and release it with sock_put() once the handler has run. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpu: host1x: Fix use-after-free in host1x_bo_clear_cached_mappings
__host1x_bo_unpin() drops the last reference to the mapping and frees
it, so we can't dereference mapping afterwards. The cache itself
outlives the mapping, so use the cache local variable instead. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/mmu: Fix use-after-free on vendor module reload
mmu_destroy_caches() destroys pte_list_desc_cache and
mmu_page_header_cache, but leaves both pointers unchanged. The pointers
live in kvm.ko, and therefore survive when a vendor module is unloaded
while kvm.ko remains loaded.
If creation of pte_list_desc_cache fails during a subsequent vendor
module load, its assignment sets pte_list_desc_cache to NULL and the
error path calls mmu_destroy_caches(). mmu_page_header_cache still
points to the cache destroyed during the preceding vendor module
unload. Passing that stale pointer to kmem_cache_destroy() causes a
slab use-after-free.
Reproduce the issue on a v7.1.3 kernel with CONFIG_KASAN=y,
CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC=y, CONFIG_KVM=m, and CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m. A
one-shot test hook forces pte_list_desc_cache to NULL on the second
invocation of kvm_mmu_vendor_module_init():
1. Load kvm.ko and kvm-intel.ko, creating both caches.
2. Unload only kvm_intel, leaving kvm.ko loaded.
3. Reload kvm_intel and force initialization through the -ENOMEM path.

safe.
With the fix applied, the same injected vendor module reload fails with
-ENOMEM as expected and produces no KASAN report. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: pretimeout: Fix UAF in watchdog_unregister_governor()
When a watchdog governor is unregistered, it updates existing watchdog
devices that were using this governor by falling back to `default_gov`.
If the governor being unregistered is currently set as `default_gov`,
the `default_gov` is never cleared. This leads to 2 use-after-free
issues:
1. New watchdog devices registered after this point will inherit the
dangling `default_gov`.
2. Existing watchdog devices using the unregistered governor will have
their `wdd->gov` reassigned to the dangling `default_gov`.
Fix the UAF by clearing `default_gov` if it matches the governor being
unregistered. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (nzxt-kraken3) Stop device IO before calling hid_hw_stop
Calling hid_hw_stop() does not stop the device IO.
This results in a race condition between hid_input_report() and the point
immediately following the execution of hid_device_io_start() within
the driver probe function. If the probe operation fails after "io start"
has been initiated, this race condition will result in a UAF vulnerability.
Fix the problem by calling hid_device_io_stop() before calling
hid_hw_stop(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: core: port: Deattach Type-C connector on component unbind
connector_unbind() is the mirror of connector_bind(), but it is missing
the symmetric call to typec_deattach() that connector_bind() makes via:
if (port_dev->child)
typec_attach(port_dev->connector, &port_dev->child->dev);
When a Thunderbolt dock is unplugged, two teardown paths race:
1. The component framework calls connector_unbind() first, which sets
port_dev->connector = NULL without calling typec_deattach(). This
leaves port->usb2_dev/port->usb3_dev in struct typec_port pointing at
the USB device that is about to be freed.
2. usb_disconnect() then calls typec_deattach(port_dev->connector, ...),
but port_dev->connector is already NULL, so the call is a no-op and
port->usb2_dev is never cleared.
3. Concurrently, UCSI detects a PD partner-disconnect event and calls
typec_unregister_partner(), which reads port->usb2_dev (now a dangling
pointer to freed memory) and passes it to typec_partner_unlink_device()
-> sysfs_remove_link() -> dev_name() on the freed device, corrupting
the typec/UCSI partner state.
This corruption leaves the Thunderbolt tunnel in an inconsistent state on
the next dock hot-plug. On affected hardware the dock's I225/igc NIC fails
to enumerate: AER fires a slot reset while the igc driver is still
initialising ("PCIe link lost"), and the subsequent igc_reset attempt hits
igc_rd32 on an already-detached device:
igc 0000:2e:00.0 eth0: PCIe link lost, device now detached
igc: Failed to read reg 0x0!

4. UCSI later handles the PD partner-disconnect and calls
typec_unregister_partner(), which still sees the stale port->usb2_dev
and tries to remove its sysfs link a second time:
kernfs: can not remove 'typec', no directory

With worse timing the same stale pointer is dereferenced after the
backing memory is freed, turning the warning into a use-after-free.
Fix the asymmetry: call typec_deattach() before clearing
port_dev->connector, matching what connector_bind() does on the bind side.
typec_partner_deattach() is already protected by port->partner_link_lock,
so it serialises safely with the concurrent typec_unregister_partner() path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_tunnel_key: Defer dst_release to RCU callback
Fix a race-condition use-after-free in tunnel_key_release_params().
The function releases the metadata_dst of the old params synchronously
via dst_release() while deferring the params struct free with
kfree_rcu(). A concurrent tunnel_key_act() reader on the datapath may
still hold the old params pointer (under rcu_read_lock_bh) and proceed
to call dst_clone(¶ms->tcft_enc_metadata->dst) after the writer's
dst_release has already pushed the dst's rcuref to RCUREF_DEAD.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix use-after-free of mm_struct in job scheduler
amdxdna_cmd_submit() stores current->mm in job->mm without holding any
reference. aie2_sched_job_run() later access job->mm from the DRM
scheduler worker thread. With only a raw pointer and no structural
reference, the mm_struct can be freed before the scheduler runs the job.
Fix this by calling mmgrab() to hold a structural mm_count reference for
the lifetime of the job, paired with mmdrop() in every cleanup path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: pin conn during async oplock break notification
smb2_oplock_break_noti() and smb2_lease_break_noti() store a ksmbd_conn
pointer in an async ksmbd_work and then queue that work on ksmbd-io. The
work only increments conn->r_count, which prevents teardown from passing
the pending-request wait after the increment, but it does not pin the
struct ksmbd_conn object.
If connection teardown races with an oplock break notification, the last
conn reference can be dropped before the queued worker finishes. The
worker then uses the freed conn in ksmbd_conn_write() and
ksmbd_conn_r_count_dec().
Take a real conn reference when publishing the conn pointer to the async
work item, and drop it after the notification work has decremented
r_count. Apply the same lifetime rule to lease break notification, which
uses the same work->conn pattern. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_qca: Clear memdump state on invalid dump size
qca_controller_memdump() allocates qca->qca_memdump before processing
the first dump packet. For a sequence-zero packet it then disables IBS,
marks memdump collection active, and reads the advertised dump size.
If the controller reports a zero dump size, the error path frees the
local qca_memdump object and returns without clearing qca->qca_memdump
or undoing the collection state. A later memdump work item initializes
its local pointer from qca->qca_memdump and skips allocation when that
pointer is non-NULL, so it can operate on freed memory. The stale
collection and IBS-disabled flags can also leave waiters or later
transmit handling blocked behind an aborted dump.
Clear the saved pointer and memdump state before returning from the
invalid-size path, matching the cleanup used when hci_devcd_init() fails.
A static analysis checker reported the stale memdump state, and manual
source review confirmed the invalid-size failure path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: cancel sched scan results work on unregister
cfg80211_sched_scan_results() can queue rdev->sched_scan_res_wk from a
driver result notification while a scheduled scan request is present. The
work callback recovers the containing cfg80211_registered_device and then
locks the wiphy and walks the scheduled-scan request list.
wiphy_unregister() already makes the wiphy unreachable and drains rdev work
items before cfg80211_dev_free() can release the object, but it does not
drain sched_scan_res_wk. A queued or running result work item can therefore
cross the unregister/free boundary and access freed rdev state.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
scheduled-scan result path: unregister/free path:
1. cfg80211_sched_scan_results() 1. interface teardown stops and
queues rdev->sched_scan_res_wk. removes the scheduled scan request.
2. cfg80211_wq starts the work 2. wiphy_unregister() drains other
item and recovers rdev. rdev work items.
3. The worker locks rdev->wiphy 3. cfg80211_dev_free() destroys and
and walks rdev state. frees rdev.
Cancel sched_scan_res_wk in wiphy_unregister() alongside the other rdev
work items. cancel_work_sync() removes a pending result notification and
waits for an already running callback, so cfg80211_dev_free() cannot free
rdev while this work item is still active.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: mgmt: hold reference for hci_conn in mgmt_pending_cmds
Dereferencing RCU-protected pointers outside critical sections is
invalid and may lead to UAF. Use of hci_conn in hci_sync callbacks also
needs to hold refcount to avoid UAF.
Take appropriate locks for hci_conn lookups, and take refcount for
hci_conn pointers stored in mgmt_pending_cmd so that the pointer stays
valid.
When accessing conn->state, ensure hdev->lock is held to avoid data
race. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: mgmt: fix locking in unpair_device/disconnect_sync
Dereferencing RCU-protected pointers outside critical sections is
invalid and may lead to UAF.
Take hdev->lock for hci_conn lookup and hci_abort_conn(). Don't use RCU
to ensure the conn is fully initialized at this point. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: extend conn_hash lookup critical sections
Using RCU-protected pointers outside the critical sections without
refcount is incorrect and may result to UAF.
Extend critical section to cover both hci_conn_hash lookup and use of
the returned conn.
Add surrounding rcu_read_lock() also when return value is not used, in
preparation for RCU lockdep requirement to hci_lookup_le_connect().
This avoids concurrent deletion of the conn before we are done
dereferencing it.
Also, make sure to hold hdev->lock when accessing hdev->accept_list. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: defer channel free to an RCU grace period to fix pppol2tp RX UAF
pppol2tp_recv() runs in the L2TP UDP-encap softirq RX path:
l2tp_udp_encap_recv() -> l2tp_recv_common() -> pppol2tp_recv()
-> ppp_input(&po->chan)
It runs under rcu_read_lock() holding only an l2tp_session reference and
takes NO reference on the internal PPP channel (struct channel,
chan->ppp) that ppp_input() dereferences.
The pppox socket is SOCK_RCU_FREE, so 'po' and the embedded ppp_channel
are RCU-safe. But the internal struct channel is a separate allocation
that ppp_release_channel() frees with a plain kfree():
close(data socket) -> pppol2tp_release() -> pppox_unbind_sock()
-> ppp_unregister_channel() -> ppp_release_channel() -> kfree(pch)
For a channel that is bound (PPPIOCGCHAN) but not attached to a ppp unit
(no PPPIOCCONNECT, pch->ppp == NULL) and not bridged, teardown skips
both ppp_disconnect_channel()'s synchronize_net() and
ppp_unbridge_channels()'s synchronize_rcu(), so the kfree() has no grace
period. rcu_read_lock() in pppol2tp_recv() does not protect against a
plain kfree(), so an in-flight ppp_input() on one CPU can dereference
the channel just freed by close() on another CPU.
The bug is reachable by an unprivileged user.
Defer the channel free to an RCU callback via call_rcu() so the grace
period fences any in-flight ppp_input(). The disconnect and unbridge
teardown paths already fence with synchronize_net()/synchronize_rcu();
call_rcu() does the same here without stalling the close() path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix UAF in sock clone early bailouts
Similar to recent commit 9b51a6155d14 ("bpf,fork: wipe ->bpf_storage
before bailouts that access it"), sk_clone() performs an initial
shallow copy of the socket field ->sk_bpf_storage via sock_copy()
for the cloned socket newsk.
If sk_clone() bails out early (e.g. if sk_filter_charge() fails) prior
to calling bpf_sk_storage_clone(), newsk->sk_bpf_storage still points
to the parent socket's BPF local storage. When newsk is subsequently
freed via sk_free(), the deallocation path (__sk_destruct() ->
bpf_sk_storage_free()) destroys the parent socket's BPF local storage,
leading to a use-after-free (UAF) on the parent socket.
Fix this by resetting newsk->sk_bpf_storage to NULL immediately after
sock_copy() in sk_clone(), and remove the now redundant initialization
from bpf_sk_storage_clone(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: defer link RX stats percpu free to RCU
sta_remove_link() frees a removed MLO link's RX stats percpu buffer right
away, but defers only the link container to RCU:
sta_info_free_link(&alloc->info);
kfree_rcu(alloc, rcu_head);
The RX fast path reads link_sta under rcu_read_lock and writes the percpu
stats. A reader that resolved link_sta before the removal keeps the
pointer. The container stays alive from the kfree_rcu, so the read still
works. But the percpu block it points to is already freed. This needs
uses_rss. That is when pcpu_rx_stats exists.
The full STA teardown frees the deflink stats only after
synchronize_net(). The link removal path had no such barrier. The race is
hard to win in practice, but the free should still wait for RCU.
Free the link together with its data from a single RCU callback, so the
percpu block is reclaimed only after readers drain. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: clear mode callbacks after failed mode setup
xfrm_state_gc_task can run long after a failed IPTFS state setup. In the
reproduced case, __xfrm_init_state() cached x->mode_cbs, IPTFS setup
returned -ENOMEM before publishing mode_data, and the temporary module
reference from xfrm_get_mode_cbs() was dropped immediately. The dead state
then kept x->mode_cbs until deferred GC ran after xfrm_iptfs had been
unloaded.
Clear x->mode_cbs when mode init or clone fails before publishing
mode_data. Those states never installed mode-specific state or the
long-term IPTFS module pin, so deferred GC has nothing mode-specific to
destroy and must not retain a callback table pointer past the temporary
lookup reference.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
failed setup path:
1. cache x->mode_cbs
2. mode setup fails before mode_data
3. drop the temporary module ref
4. dead state keeps x->mode_cbs cached
GC/unload path:
1. xfrm_state_put() queues GC work
2. xfrm_iptfs unloads later
3. xfrm_state_gc_task runs
4. GC dereferences stale x->mode_cbs
This also covers the failed clone path where clone_state() returns before
publishing mode_data.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Wait for completion instead of returning early in iommu_completion_wait()
need_sync is a per-IOMMU flag shared by all domains and devices behind
that IOMMU. It is set whenever a command is queued with sync == true and
cleared when a completion-wait (CWAIT) command is queued. However, a
cleared need_sync only means that a covering CWAIT has been queued, not
that all previously queued commands have actually completed in hardware.
iommu_completion_wait() read need_sync locklessly and returned early
when it was false. This breaks the "block until all previously queued
commands have completed" contract in a multi-CPU scenario:
CPU2: queue inv-B => need_sync = true
CPU1: queue CWAIT(N); need_sync = false; then wait_on_sem(N)
CPU2: read need_sync == false => return 0 (no wait!)
CPU2 returns without waiting for any sequence number even though its
inv-B may not have completed yet (CWAIT(N), queued after inv-B, has not
been signaled). CPU2 then proceeds to, for example, free page-table
pages while the IOMMU can still walk stale translations, opening a
use-after-free window. This is a logical race in the meaning of the
flag, not a memory-visibility issue, so barriers alone do not help.
Fix it without losing the optimization of avoiding redundant CWAIT
commands: take iommu->lock before testing need_sync, and when it is
false do not return early but wait for the last allocated sequence
number (cmd_sem_val). Since need_sync == false implies no sync command
was queued after the last CWAIT, that CWAIT is FIFO-ordered after every
not-yet-completed command, so waiting for its sequence number guarantees
all prior commands (possibly queued by another CPU) have completed. The
common path with pending work is unchanged and no extra hardware command
is issued. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: fix use after free in unlock_ovpn()
unlock_ovpn() iterates over the release_list using llist_for_each_entry()
and drops the peer reference inside the loop body via ovpn_peer_put().
If this drops the last reference, the peer is eventually freed. However,
llist_for_each_entry() reads peer->release_entry.next in the loop advance
expression, which runs after the body. By that time the peer may have
already been freed, resulting in a use after free when advancing to the
next list entry.
Fix this by using llist_for_each_entry_safe(), which caches the next
pointer before executing the loop body. |
