| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/probes: Fix use-after-free on field name/type of events with multiple probes
The fields of a probe-based dynamic event (kprobe, uprobe, eprobe and
fprobe events) are created in traceprobe_define_arg_fields() by handing
the probe_arg name/type strings to trace_define_field(), which only
stores the pointers without copying. Those strings are owned by the
trace_probe and are freed when that probe is removed.
An event can have several probes attached. The field list is defined
only once, by the first probe that registers the event, but it is kept
alive by any surviving sibling probe. Deleting just that first probe by
symbol -
# primary A: fields are defined from A's args
echo 'p:kprobes/ev vfs_read a1=$arg1' > kprobe_events
# append B: shares A's event call
echo 'p:kprobes/ev vfs_write a1=$arg1' >> kprobe_events
# delete only A (matched by symbol), B survives
echo '-:kprobes/ev vfs_read' >> kprobe_events
frees A's args (trace_probe_cleanup() -> traceprobe_free_probe_arg()),
but trace_probe_unlink() keeps the trace_probe_event because the probe
list is not empty. The event call stays registered via B while its
fields now reference freed memory. Any field lookup then reads it, e.g.
echo 'a1 == 1' > events/kprobes/ev/filter

Call Trace:

field->name references parg->name (kstrdup'd, freed with the probe) and,
for array arguments, field->type references parg->fmt (kmalloc'd, freed
with the probe) - the scalar type otherwise points at the static
fmttype rodata, which is safe.
Have traceprobe_define_arg_fields() duplicate the name and type strings
and anchor the copies on the trace_probe_event, which embeds the event
call and outlives every individual probe; trace_probe_event_free()
releases them.
The reproducer above triggers reliably; the field lookup and the delete
both run under event_mutex, so this is a dangling reference after
removal rather than a race.
The issue was found by the autokbug dynamic kernel fuzzer at Tencent
Yunding Lab. |
| An issue in MongoDB Server's query execution engine could allow an authenticated user with read and write privileges to cause an internal reference to be used after the underlying memory has been freed, when running certain queries against time-series collections. This could result in a server crash or disclosure of freed memory contents within query results. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-vdpa: protect config_ctx from being freed under the config callback
vhost_vdpa_config_cb() loads v->config_ctx and signals it without taking
a reference and without holding any lock:
struct eventfd_ctx *config_ctx = v->config_ctx;
if (config_ctx)
eventfd_signal(config_ctx);
VHOST_VDPA_SET_CONFIG_CALL replaces that field and drops what is normally
the last reference to the old context:
swap(ctx, v->config_ctx);
if (ctx)
eventfd_ctx_put(ctx);
eventfd_ctx_put() drops the last kref and frees the context immediately,
with no RCU grace period, so a callback that has already loaded the
pointer goes on to dereference freed memory. The two sides share no
lock: the ioctl runs under vhost_dev.mutex, while the parent invokes the
callback from its own interrupt or workqueue context.
This is not the reopen refcount underflow fixed by commit f6bbf0010ba0
("vhost-vdpa: fix use-after-free of v->config_ctx"), which was about
vhost_vdpa_config_put() leaving a stale pointer behind. Here the pointer
is maintained correctly and it is the read side that is unprotected.
With VDUSE as the parent this is reachable from userspace with access to
/dev/vduse (root by default). VDUSE_DEV_INJECT_CONFIG_IRQ queues
dev->inject, and vduse_dev_irq_inject() runs the callback under VDUSE's
own dev->irq_lock, which vhost does not hold. vduse_dev_reset() does
flush_work(&dev->inject), but VHOST_VDPA_SET_CONFIG_CALL never goes
through reset, so an inject already in flight is not waited for. A
process that injects config interrupts on the VDUSE fd while another
thread swaps the call fd on the vhost-vdpa fd hits it in seconds:

Add a spinlock covering every access to config_ctx, so the callback
either signals a context that is still alive or observes NULL, and the
put happens only once no callback can reach the old value.
Clearing the parent's callback before the put would not be enough: of the
in-tree set_config_cb() implementations only VDUSE takes a lock, the rest
store the pointer unlocked, so that would not order against an in-flight
invocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio: fix use-after-free in unregister_virtio_device()
device_unregister() is device_del() plus put_device(). When the caller
holds no extra reference, that drops the last one and runs the release
callback, which for several transports frees the memory the embedded
struct virtio_device sits in. unregister_virtio_device() then calls
virtio_debug_device_exit(), which reads dev->debugfs_dir out of the freed
object.
Affected transports are the ones whose release callback frees and whose
remove path takes no reference: virtio_mmio, virtio_vdpa, virtio_uml,
mlxbf-tmfifo and virtio_ccw. virtio_pci is unaffected because
virtio_pci_remove() brackets the call with get_device() and put_device().
Remove the debugfs entries before the device can go away. They are only
accessed through the protected debugfs interface, so
debugfs_remove_recursive() waits for in-progress file operations before
returning. Tearing them down while the device is still alive is therefore
safe.

hwmon: Fix potential UAF in pec_store
Sashiko reports:
In pec_store(), a guard(mutex)(&hwdev->lock) is taken. If the chip write
operation returns an error other than -EOPNOTSUPP, the code jumps to the
put label, which calls put_device(hdev). If this drops the final reference,
the device is freed. When the function then returns, the guard cleanup
function runs and attempts to unlock the freed mutex.
Use scoped_guard() instead of guard() to avoid the problem. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: Decoupling ep1_in_urb in caiaq dev
The epq_in_urb object belonging to the caiaq device is coupled within
the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev. After usb_submit_urb(epq_in_urb, GFP_KERNEL)
executes successfully, epq_in_urb is successfully added to the urbp_list
queue of the dummy HCD driver (userspace specifies dummy_hcd as the HCD
layer driver for the caiaq USB device).
When init_card() calls snd_usb_caiaq_send_command() which subsequently
fails due to a timeout, and proceeds to call snd_card_free() to release
the card, the embedded ep1_in_urb object is also freed. When the dummy
HCD driver detects that the URB has been unlinked, it returns the URB
(by usb_hcd_giveback_urb()), which triggers [1].
Decouple the ep1_in_urb object from the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev and switch
to using a pointer instead. Separately allocate and manage the memory for
ep1_in_urb to prevent the release of the snd_card memory object from
interfering with it.
midi_out_urb has the same issue as ep1_in_urb and is handled in the same
way.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: E-Switch: fix use-after-free in mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put
In mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put(), the zero-ref cleanup check reads
tt->ref_count after termtbl_mutex has been released. Two concurrent
callers on the same mlx5_termtbl_handle race: one decrements ref_count
to zero, removes the hash entry, and calls kfree(tt) while the other
has already dropped the mutex and is about to evaluate
if (!tt->ref_count), producing a use-after-free.
Fix this by capturing the result of the decrement into a stack-local
last variable before dropping the mutex. The cleanup decision is now
made entirely under termtbl_mutex, and tt is not touched after
kfree. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mctp: i3c: serialize probe with bus removal
mctp_i3c_probe() drops busdevs_lock after finding the matching bus. A
concurrent I3C_NOTIFY_BUS_REMOVE can then unregister and free the bus
netdev before probe passes its private data to mctp_i3c_add_device().
The latter consequently adds a list node through a freed mbus pointer.
Keep busdevs_lock held until the device has been added. This also
satisfies the __must_hold annotation on mctp_i3c_add_device(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Preserve inner map identity in callback frames
Callback frame constructors initialize map-typed argument registers with
__mark_reg_known_zero() and then restore map_ptr. This clears map_uid,
which is the only field distinguishing inner maps that share an
inner_map_meta template.
When a timer callback invokes bpf_for_each_map_elem() on a second inner
map, both the saved first map and the second map value can reach the nested
callback as the same template with map_uid zero. bpf_timer_init() then
accepts pairing the timer from the second map with the first map.
The runtime records the first map in the timer without taking a reference.
Freeing that map does not find the timer stored in the second map, so a
later timer callback dereferences the freed map.
Copy map_uid from the same caller register as map_ptr when constructing
for-each, timer/workqueue, and task-work callback arguments. The existing
identity check can then reject mismatched inner maps while allowing a
callback value to be paired with its actual map. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Preserve special fields in recycled rhtab elements
rhtab_map_update_elem() initializes special fields after obtaining an
element from bpf_mem_cache_alloc(). The allocator can return a fresh,
zeroed unit, or recycle one from its RCU-pending lists before the
registered destructor has run.
A BPF program can retain a map-value pointer after deleting its element
and initialize and arm a timer through that pointer. If the deleted unit
is recycled, check_and_init_map_value() clears the only pointer to the
timer. Neither a later deletion nor rhtab_mem_dtor() can then cancel it,
and the callback can run with its key and value pointing into freed memory.
Do not reinitialize special fields on insertion. Fresh allocator units are
already zeroed. For recycled units, the special fields are ownership state
that must remain visible to the eventual destructor. copy_map_value()
already skips those fields, matching the non-preallocated hash-map path and
the lifecycle established by commit 275c30bcee66 ("bpf: Don't reinit map
value in prealloc_lru_pop").

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject untrusted allocated-object pointers
When the final RCU read-side critical section ends, a local kptr is demoted
to PTR_UNTRUSTED but retains MEM_ALLOC. The pointer may be NULL or may refer
to an object whose lifetime is no longer protected.
type_is_ptr_alloc_obj() nevertheless recognizes any PTR_TO_BTF_ID with
MEM_ALLOC as a live allocated object. In particular, a refcount-only local
kptr never carries NON_OWN_REF, so it still passes the
bpf_refcount_acquire() argument check after RCU protection ends. The kfunc
can then dereference NULL or stale memory.
Make type_is_ptr_alloc_obj() reject PTR_UNTRUSTED pointers. Since
type_is_non_owning_ref() is based on the same predicate, graph kfunc
arguments obey the same live-object requirement. Fault-protected reads of
the demoted pointer remain valid: writes are already rejected, and read
fixups use bpf_may_fault_on_deref() rather than this predicate.

x86/amd_node: Fix PCI device reference counting in amd_smn_init()
The local "root" pointer is a temporary variable used during the device
search. Therefore, refcount related to the search iterators should be cleaned
up after the search is complete.
Use the __free() cleanup macro to ensure the refcount is decremented when the
temporary pointer goes out of scope.
Additionally, increment the refcount when caching a root pointer. This ensures
the in-use refcount is separate from the temporary search refcounting.
Finally, drop the redundant "root = NULL" before the second search loop. The
pci_get_class() iterator always decrements the refcount of its "from"
argument, so the first loop can only fall through with "root" already NULL. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
configfs: unhash the dentry before dropping the item in rmdir
configfs_get_config_item() treats a hashed dentry as proof that
sd->s_element is a live config_item. configfs_rmdir() breaks that:
simple_rmdir() leaves the dentry hashed, the last reference to the item is
dropped right after, and the dentry is only unhashed by d_delete() once
->rmdir() has returned. configfs_symlink() resolves its target holding no
lock on it, so get_target() can land in that window:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in config_item_get+0x26/0x90
get_target fs/configfs/symlink.c:128 [inline]
configfs_symlink+0x4ab/0x1030 fs/configfs/symlink.c:185
Unhash in configfs_remove_dir(), while the item is still guaranteed to be
there. A reference obtained just before that stays harmless, as
create_link() rechecks CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING, already set by
configfs_detach_prep(). Both configfs_unregister_subsystem() paths
d_drop() after detaching, so this only makes rmdir match them. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: restore the XDP program pointer when pre-allocation fails
mana_xdp_set() publishes the new program into apc->bpf_prog before it
allocates anything, because mana_pre_alloc_rxbufs() sizes the buffers
from it via mana_get_rxbuf_cfg(). When that allocation fails the
function returns the error directly, skipping the err_dealloc_rxbuffs
label which is the only place that restores the previous pointer.
The attach is reported as failed, so the BPF core drops the reference it
held for the caller and the program can be freed, while apc->bpf_prog
still points at it. The next consumer of mana_xdp_get() - typically
mana_chn_setxdp() from mana_alloc_queues() on the following ifup, or
after a TX timeout reset - then calls bpf_prog_add() on freed memory.
This is reachable from an ordinary "ip link set dev ethX xdp obj ..."
whenever the per-queue RX buffer pre-allocation cannot be satisfied.
Restore the previous program on that error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Remove debugfs entries when probe fails
ccp_debugfs_init() registers debugfs files whose private data is the devm
allocated ccp. If hwmon_device_register_with_info() fails right after it,
ccp_probe() returns without removing them: the HID core then frees ccp,
and ccp_remove() is not called for a failed probe, so the files stay
behind. Reading one of them dereferences the freed pointer.
Remove the debugfs entries on that error path. debugfs_remove_recursive()
waits for readers already inside the show callbacks, so ccp is no longer
reachable through debugfs by the time probe returns. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (corsair-cpro) Create debugfs entries after hwmon registration
ccp_debugfs_init() registers debugfs files whose private data is the devm
allocated ccp. It runs before hwmon_device_register_with_info(), so when
that registration fails, ccp_probe() returns with the files still in
place. The HID core then frees ccp, and ccp_remove() is not called for a
failed probe, so nothing removes them later either. Reading one of the
files dereferences the freed pointer.
Create the debugfs entries only after the hwmon device has been
registered, so no failing path can leave them behind.
The two version queries stay where they are. They send USB commands
without holding ccp->mutex, which is only safe as long as nothing else
can call send_usb_cmd(); once the hwmon device is registered its
callbacks can do so concurrently. Only the debugfs creation moves, and
it is told which queries succeeded. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: Fix UAF of btusb_data by rx_work
btusb_close() and btusb_flush() cancel data->rx_work with the
asynchronous cancel_delayed_work(), so if btusb_rx_work() is already
running on another CPU it keeps running after the cancel returns.
btusb_disconnect() calls hci_unregister_dev(), which invokes
btusb_close(), and then frees the btusb_data. A still running
btusb_rx_work() then dereferences the freed data:
while ((skb = skb_dequeue(&data->acl_q)))
data->recv_acl(data->hdev, skb);
Use cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. In btusb_close() the cancel also
has to happen after btusb_stop_traffic(), otherwise an URB completion
racing with the cancel can requeue the work right after it has been
waited for. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-rdma: fix -EIO cleanup order in queue_rq
On -EIO, the RDMA queue_rq path reports a host path error and then
still cleans up the command and unmaps the SQE DMA. The path error
helper completes the request, so that is double cleanup and DMA unmap
after the request is already complete.
Unmap the SQE first, then report the host path error. Skip the outer
command cleanup on that path. |
