In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: call missing mem_cgroup_iter_break()
damon_sysfs_memcg_path_to_id() breaks mem_cgroup_iter() loop without
calling mem_cgroup_iter_break(). This leaks the cgroup reference. Fix
the issue by calling mem_cgroup_iter_break() before the break.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: Allocate runtime workqueue before ACPI init
Since commit
5894cf571e14 ("acpi/prmt: Use EFI runtime sandbox to invoke PRM handlers")
ACPI PRM calls are delegated to a workqueue which runs in a kernel
thread, making it easier to detect and mitigate faulting memory accesses
performed by the firmware.
Rafael reports that such PRM accesses may occur before efisubsys_init()
executes, which is where the workqueue is allocated, leading to NULL
pointer dereferences. Since acpi_init() [which triggers the early PRM
accesses] executes as a subsys_initcall() as well, and has its own
dependencies that may be sensitive to initcall ordering, deferring
acpi_init() is not an option.
So instead, split off the workqueue allocation into its own postcore
initcall, as this is the only missing piece to allow EFI runtime calls
to be made. This ensures that EFI runtime call (including PRM calls) are
accessible to all code running at subsys_initcall() level.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/base/memory: fix memory block reference leak in poison accounting
memblk_nr_poison_inc() and memblk_nr_poison_sub() look up a memory block
via find_memory_block_by_id(), which acquires a reference to the memory
block device.
Both helpers use the returned memory block without dropping that
reference, leaking the device reference on each successful lookup. Drop
the reference after updating nr_hwpoison.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: fix __vm_normal_page() to handle missing support for pmd_special()/pud_special()
On x86 32-bit with THP enabled, zap_huge_pmd() is seen to generate a
"WARNING: mm/memory.c:735 at __vm_normal_page+0x6a/0x7d", from the
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(is_zero_pfn(pfn) || is_huge_zero_pfn(pfn)); followed by
"BUG: Bad rss-counter state"s, then later "BUG: Bad page state"s when
reclaim gets to call shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan().
It's as if the _PAGE_SPECIAL bit never got set in the huge_zero pmd: and
indeed, whereas pte_special() and pte_mkspecial() are subject to a
dedicated CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL, pmd_special() and pmd_mkspecial()
are subject to CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP, which is never enabled on
any 32-bit architecture.
While the problem was exposed through commit d80a9cb1a64a
("mm/huge_memory: add and use normal_or_softleaf_folio_pmd()"), it was an
oversight in commit af38538801c6 ("mm/memory: factor out common code from
vm_normal_page_*()") and would result in other problems:
* huge zero folio accounted in smaps, pagemap (PAGE_IS_FILE) and
numamaps as file-backed THP
* folio_walk_start() returning the folio even without FW_ZEROPAGE set.
Callers seem to tolerate that, though.
... and triggering the VM_WARN_ON_ONE(), although never reported so far.
To fix it, teach vm_normal_page_pmd()/vm_normal_page_pud() to consider
whether pmd_special/pud_special is actually implemented.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/memory_hotplug: fix memory block reference leak on remove
Patch series "mm: Fix memory block leaks and locking", v2.
This series fixes two memory block device reference leaks and one locking
issue around the per-memory_block hwpoison counter.
This patch (of 2):
remove_memory_blocks_and_altmaps() looks up each memory block with
find_memory_block(), which acquires a reference to the memory block
device.
That reference is never dropped on this path, resulting in a leaked device
reference when removing memory blocks and their altmaps. Drop the
reference after retrieving mem->altmap and clearing mem->altmap, before
removing the memory block device.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: iosm: fix potential memory leaks in ipc_imem_init()
The memory allocated in ipc_protocol_init() is not freed on the error
paths that follow in ipc_imem_init(). Fix that by calling the
corresponding release function ipc_protocol_deinit() in the error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: bnep: Fix UAF read of dev->name
bnep_add_connection() needs to keep holding the bnep_session_sem while
reading dev->name (just like bnep_get_connlist() does); otherwise the
bnep_session() thread can concurrently free the net_device, which can for
example be triggered by a concurrent bnep_del_connection().
(This UAF is fairly uninteresting from a security perspective;
calling bnep_add_connection() requires passing a capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)
check. It also requires completely tearing down a netdev during a fairly
tight race window.)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
The networking receive path is usually run from softirq context, but
protocols that take the socket lock may have packets stored in the
backlog and processed later from process context. In that case
release_sock() -> __release_sock() drops the slock with spin_unlock_bh()
and then calls sk->sk_backlog_rcv() with bottom halves enabled.
Typical sk_backlog_rcv handlers process the socket whose backlog is
being drained, so the BH state at entry is irrelevant for the slocks
they touch. pep_do_rcv() is different: when the inbound skb targets an
existing PEP pipe, it forwards the skb to a different *child* socket
via sk_receive_skb(). That helper takes the child slock with
bh_lock_sock_nested(), which is just spin_lock_nested() and assumes BH
is already off. The same child slock therefore ends up acquired with
BH on (process path) and with BH off (softirq path):
process context softirq context
--------------- ---------------
release_sock(listener) __netif_receive_skb()
__release_sock() phonet_rcv()
spin_unlock_bh() __sk_receive_skb(listener)
[BH now ENABLED] [BH already disabled]
sk_backlog_rcv: sk_backlog_rcv:

sk_receive_skb(child) sk_receive_skb(child)
bh_lock_sock_nested(child) bh_lock_sock_nested(child)
=> SOFTIRQ-ON-W => IN-SOFTIRQ-W
Lockdep flags this as inconsistent lock state, and it can become a real
self-deadlock if a softirq on the same CPU tries to receive to the same
child socket while its slock is held in the BH-enabled path:
WARNING: inconsistent lock state
inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.

Wrap the forwarded sk_receive_skb() in local_bh_disable() /
local_bh_enable() so the child slock is always acquired with BH off.
local_bh_disable() nests safely on the softirq path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix driver-set TX rates on old devices
On old devices such as 7265D, rates are still encoded in version 1
format, which doesn't use the CCK/OFDM rate index (0-3/0-7) but
rather their PLCP value (e.g. 10 for 1 Mbps CCK rate.)
While introducing v3 rates, I changed the driver from internally
handling v1 rates and converting to v2, to internally handling v3
and converting to v1 or v2 according to the firmware. I accordingly
changed the code in iwl_mvm_mac80211_idx_to_hwrate() to no longer
have different values for different APIs. This was correct.
However, I later reverted this part of the change, because it was
reported that I had broken beacon rates, causing a FW assert/crash.
This caused TX_CMD rates to be set incorrectly, potentially causing
a warning when reported back from the device as having been used.
Fix this (hopefully correctly now) by handling beacon rates in the
TX_CMD that's embedded in the beacon template command separately.
Restore iwl_mvm_mac80211_idx_to_hwrate() to return only the rate
index, not PLCP value, fixing the real TX_CMD.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: stop TX during firmware restart
When iwlwifi firmware crashes (e.g., NMI_INTERRUPT_UNKNOWN on Intel
BE201/Wi-Fi 7), iwl_mld_nic_error() sets mld->fw_status.in_hw_restart
to true. However, iwl_mld_tx_from_txq() does not check this flag before
dequeuing frames from mac80211 and pushing them to the transport layer.
Since the firmware is dead, iwl_trans_tx() returns -EIO for each frame,
which then gets freed immediately. Under high-throughput conditions
(e.g., Tailscale UDP traffic or active SSH sessions), this creates a
tight dequeue-send-fail-free loop that wastes CPU cycles and generates
rapid skb allocation churn, leading to memory pressure from slab
fragmentation.
The RX path already has this guard (iwl_mld_rx_mpdu checks
in_hw_restart at rx.c:1906), and so does the TXQ allocation worker
(iwl_mld_add_txqs_wk at tx.c:156). Add the same guard to
iwl_mld_tx_from_txq() to stop all TX during firmware restart.
Frames left in mac80211's TXQs are naturally drained after restart
completes, when queue reallocation triggers iwl_mld_tx_from_txq()
via iwl_mld_add_txq_list(), or when new upper-layer traffic invokes
wake_tx_queue.
Tested on ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3405CA with Intel BE201 (Wi-Fi 7) on
kernel 6.19.5 where the firmware crashes approximately every 10-15
minutes under Tailscale traffic.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()
cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS
profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements.
Its while-loop calls
cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem)
but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each
iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same
fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same
next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until
the buffer fills.
Advance both mbssid_elem and sub_elem to the just-consumed continuation
so the next call to cfg80211_get_profile_continuation() searches for a
further continuation beyond it (or returns NULL when none exists).
A specially-crafted malicious beacon can take advantage of this bug
to cause the kernel to spend an excessive amount of time in
cfg80211_merge_profile (up to as much as 2ms per beacon received),
which could theoretically be abused in some way.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails
In paths where tracing_map_elt_alloc() failed to allocate objects,
the map->ops->elt_alloc() call was never successful. In this case,
map->ops->elt_free() should not be called.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC IPI virtualization on Hygon Family 18h (erratum #1235)
Hygon Family 18h CPUs are derived from AMD Family 17h (Zen1) silicon and
share the same erratum #1235: hardware may read a stale IsRunning=1 bit
during ICR write emulation and silently fail to generate an
AVIC_IPI_FAILURE_TARGET_NOT_RUNNING VM-Exit on the sending vCPU.
The absence of the VM-Exit causes KVM to miss the required wakeup of
blocking target vCPUs, leading to hung vCPUs and unbounded delays in
guest execution.
Extend the existing AMD Family 17h erratum #1235 workaround to also cover
Hygon Family 18h. With IPI virtualization disabled, KVM never sets
IsRunning=1 in the Physical ID table, so every non-self IPI generates a
VM-Exit and is correctly emulated.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: tegra: fix pm_runtime leak on mutex_lock failure
If tegra_i2c_mutex_lock() fails, the function returns without calling
pm_runtime_put(), leaking the runtime PM reference acquired by the
preceding pm_runtime_get_sync(). This prevents the device from ever
entering runtime suspend.
Add the missing pm_runtime_put() before returning on lock failure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kho: skip KHO for crash kernel
kho_fill_kimage() unconditionally populates the kimage with KHO
metadata for every kexec image type. When the image is a crash kernel,
this can be problematic as the crash kernel can run in a small reserved
region and the KHO scratch areas can sit outside it.
The crash kernel then faults during kho_memory_init() when it
tries phys_to_virt() on the KHO FDT address:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx
...
fdt_offset_ptr+...
fdt_check_node_offset_+...
fdt_first_property_offset+...
fdt_get_property_namelen_+...
fdt_getprop+...
kho_memory_init+...
mm_core_init+...
start_kernel+...
kho_locate_mem_hole() already skips KHO logic for KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH
images, but kho_fill_kimage() was missing the same guard. As
kho_fill_kimage() is the single point that populates image->kho.fdt
and image->kho.scratch, fixing it here is sufficient for both arm64
and x86 as the FDT and boot_params path are bailing out when these
fields are unset.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration
The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an

registration time so a buggy client driver cannot crash the bus during
match.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: integrator: Fix early initialization
Starting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 ("ARM: integrator: read counter using
syscon/regmap"), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
which in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.
Since the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,
the call always fails. It either returns -ENOMEM or crashes as follows.

The crash is seen due to a dereferenced pointer which is not supposed to be
NULL but is NULL if the memory management subsystem has not been
initialized. The crash is not seen with all versions of gcc. Some versions
such as gcc 9.x apparently do not dereference the pointer, presumably if
tracing is disabled. The problem has been reproduced with gcc 10.x, 11.x,
and 13.x. Either case, if the crash is not seen, the call to
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible returns -ENOMEM, and
sched_clock_register is never called.
Fix the problem by moving the early initialization code into the standard
machine initialization code.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: tracepoints: fix sleep while in atomic context in btrfs_sync_file()
The trace event btrfs_sync_file() is called in an atomic context (all trace

The testsuite defines several kprobes and kretprobes as static variables

After register_kprobe and unregister_kprobe, a kprobe contains some

again. The tests are setting symbol_name to define the probe location.
Address and flags must be cleared.
The existing code clears some of the probes between subsequent tests, but
not between two test runs. The leftover data from a previous test run
makes the registrations fail in the next run.
Move the cleanups for all kprobes into kprobes_test_init, this function
is called before each single test (including the first test of a test
run).

needs to limit zero_point to remote_i_size, not i_size as i_size is a local
phenomenon reflecting updates made locally to the pagecache, not stuff
written to the server. remote_i_size tracks the server's i_size.
[*] The zero point is the file position from which we can assume that the
server will just return zeros, so we can avoid generating reads.
Note that netfs_invalidate_folio() probably doesn't need fixing as
zero_point should be updated by setattr after truncation or fallocate.

It shows read-gaps on folio 0x64 failing with a short read (ie. it hits
EOF) if the FMODE_READ check is commented out in netfs_perform_write():
if (//(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) ||
netfs_is_cache_enabled(ctx)) {
and no fscache. This was initially found with the generic/522 xfstest.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix write streaming disablement if fd open O_RDWR
In netfs_perform_write(), "write streaming" (the caching of dirty data in
dirty but !uptodate folios) is performed to avoid the need to read data
that is just going to get immediately overwritten. However, this is/will
be disabled in three circumstances: if the fd is open O_RDWR, if fscache is
in use (as we need to round out the blocks for DIO) or if content
encryption is enabled (again for rounding out purposes).
The idea behind disabling it if the fd is open O_RDWR is that we'd need to
flush the write-streaming page before we could read the data, particularly
through mmap. But netfs now fills in the gaps if ->read_folio() is called
on the page, so that is unnecessary. Further, this doesn't actually work
if a separate fd is open for reading.
Fix this by removing the check for O_RDWR, thereby allowing streaming
writes even when we might read.
This caused a number of problems with the generic/522 xfstest, but those
are now fixed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix partial invalidation of streaming-write folio
In netfs_invalidate_folio(), if the region of a partial invalidation
overlaps the front (but not all) of a dirty write cached in a streaming
write page (dirty, but not uptodate, with the dirty region tracked by a
netfs_folio struct), the function modifies the dirty region - but
incorrectly as it moves the region forward by setting the start to the
start, not the end, of the invalidation region.
Fix this by setting finfo->dirty_offset to the end of the invalidation
region (iend).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs, afs: Fix write skipping in dir/link writepages
Fix netfs_write_single() and afs_single_writepages() to better handle a
write that would be skipped due to lock contention and WB_SYNC_NONE by
returning 1 from netfs_write_single() if it skipped and making
afs_single_writepages() skip also. If a skip occurs, the inode must be
re-marked as the VFS may have cleared the mark.
This is really only theoretical for directories in netfs_write_single() as
the only path to that is through afs_single_writepages() that takes the
->validate_lock around it, thereby serialising it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix error path leaks in some WMI WOW calls
Fix two instances where we used to directly return the result of
ath11k_wmi_cmd_send(...). Because we did not check the return value, we
also did not free the skb in the error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/adreno: Fix a reference leak in a6xx_gpu_init()
In a6xx_gpu_init(), node is obtained via of_parse_phandle().
While there was a manual of_node_put() at the end of the
common path, several early error returns would bypass this call,
resulting in a reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup handler to
release the reference when the variable goes out of scope.
Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/700661/
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix iommu_map_sgtable() return value check and avoid WARN
Commit "iommu: return full error code from iommu_map_sg[_atomic]()"
changed iommu_map_sgtable() to return an ssize_t and negative values
in error cases, rather than a size_t and a zero.
Store the return value in the appropriate type and in case of error,
return it rather than WARNing.
Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/719685/
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: Handle unmap error when iommu_debug is enabled
Sashiko noticed a latent bug where the map error flow called iommu_unmap()
which calls iommu_debug_unmap_begin()/iommu_debug_unmap_end() however
since this is an error path the map flow never actually established the
original iommu_debug_map() it will malfunction.
Lift the unmap error handling into iommu_map_nosync() and reorder it so
the trace_map()/iommu_debug_map() records the partial mapping and then
immediately unmaps it. This avoid creating the unbalanced tracking and
provides saner tracing instead of a unmap unmatched to any map.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommupt: Check for missing PAGE_SIZE in the pgsize_bitmap
Sashiko pointed out that the driver could drop PAGE_SIZE from the
pgsize_bitmap. That is technically allowed but nothing does it, and
such an iommu_domain would not be used with the DMA API today.
Still, it is against the design and it is trivial to fix up. Lift
the PT_WARN_ON to the if branch and just skip the fast path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_inner: release local_lock before re-enabling softirqs
Quoting sashiko:
In the error path, local_bh_enable() is called before
local_unlock_nested_bh().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-mapping: move dma_map_resource() sanity check into debug code
dma_map_resource() uses pfn_valid() to ensure the range is not RAM.
However, pfn_valid() only checks for availability of the memory map for
a PFN but it does not ensure that the PFN is actually backed by RAM. On
ARM64 with SPARSEMEM (128MB section granularity), MMIO addresses that
share a section with RAM will falsely trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE and cause
dma_map_resource() to return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR.
This causes a WARNING on Raspberry Pi 4 during spi_bcm2835 probe because
the SPI FIFO register (0xfe204004) falls in the same sparsemem section
as the end of RAM (0xf8000000-0xfbffffff), both in section 31
(0xf8000000-0xffffffff).
Move the sanity check from dma_map_resource() into debug_dma_map_phys()
and replace the unreliable pfn_valid() with pfn_valid() &&
!PageReserved(), which correctly identifies actual usable RAM without
false positives for MMIO regions that happen to have struct pages.
Since dma_map_resource() is dma_map_phys(DMA_ATTR_MMIO), the check
applies equally to both APIs. Any non-reserved page represents kernel
memory to a sufficient degree that using DMA_ATTR_MMIO on it is almost
certainly wrong and risks breaking coherency on non-coherent platforms.
ZONE_DEVICE pages used for PCI P2P DMA (MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA) have
PageReserved set, so they will not trigger a false positive.
The check no longer blocks the mapping and uses err_printk() to
integrate with dma-debug filtering.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pds_core: fix error handling in pdsc_devcmd_wait
Fix two cases where pdsc_devcmd_wait() returns stale success from
the completion register instead of an error:
1. FW crash: If firmware stops running, the wait loop breaks early with
running=false. The condition "if ((!done || timeout) && running)" is
false, so error handling is bypassed and stale status is returned.
Check !running first and return -ENXIO.
2. Timeout: If a command times out, err is set to -ETIMEDOUT but then
overwritten by pdsc_err_to_errno(status) which reads stale status.
Return -ETIMEDOUT immediately after cleaning up.
Both errors now propagate to pdsc_devcmd_locked() which queues
health_work for recovery.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pds_core: fix debugfs_lookup dentry leak and error handling
debugfs_lookup() returns a dentry with an elevated reference count that
must be released with dput(). The current code discards the returned
dentry without calling dput(), causing a reference leak on every
firmware reset recovery.
Additionally, when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is disabled, debugfs_lookup()
returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), not NULL. The current check passes for error
pointers and would call dput() on an invalid pointer, causing a crash.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix metabuf leak in inode xattr initialization
commit bb88e8da0025 ("erofs: use meta buffers for xattr operations")
converted xattr operations to use on-stack erofs_buf instances.
erofs_init_inode_xattrs() uses such a metabuf while reading the inline
xattr header and shared xattr id array.
Some error paths after erofs_read_metabuf() leave through out_unlock
without dropping the metabuf, so the folio reference can leak.
Consolidate the cleanup at out_unlock. erofs_put_metabuf() is a
no-op if no folio has been acquired, and this keeps all paths after
taking EROFS_I_BL_XATTR_BIT covered by a single cleanup site.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wilc1000: fix dma_buffer leak on bus acquire failure
wilc_wlan_firmware_download() allocates dma_buffer with kmalloc() at
the top of the function and uses a 'fail:' label to free it via
kfree(dma_buffer) on error.
All later error paths correctly use 'goto fail' to route through this
cleanup. However, the early failure path after the first acquire_bus()
call uses a bare 'return ret;', which leaks dma_buffer whenever the bus
acquire fails.
Replace the early return with goto fail so the existing cleanup path
runs.
Found via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for kmalloc'd
locals leaked on early-return error paths in driver firmware-download
code.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
The setup_packet of control urb is not freed if usb_submit_urb fails or
the submitted urb is killed. Add free in these two paths.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Do not enable the charging limit even when forced
It seems that on some older models (~2020) the battery charging limit
can permanently damage the battery. Prevent users from enabling this
feature thru the "force" module parameter to avoid causing permanent
hardware damage on such devices.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: close durable scavenger races against m_fp_list lookups
ksmbd_durable_scavenger() has two related races against any walker
that iterates f_ci->m_fp_list, including ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode()
(used by ksmbd_vfs_rename) and the share-mode checks in
fs/smb/server/smb_common.c.
(1) fp->node list-head reuse. Durable-preserved handles can remain
linked on f_ci->m_fp_list after session teardown so share-mode checks
still see them while the handle is reconnectable. The scavenger
collected expired handles by adding fp->node to a local
scavenger_list after removing them from the global durable idr.
Because fp->node is the same list_head used by m_fp_list,
list_add(&fp->node, &scavenger_list) overwrites the m_fp_list links
and corrupts both lists. CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST can report this on the
share-mode walk path.
(2) Refcount race against m_fp_list walkers. The scavenger qualifies
an expired durable handle with atomic_read(&fp->refcount) > 1 and
fp->conn under global_ft.lock, removes fp from global_ft, then drops
global_ft.lock before unlinking fp from m_fp_list and freeing it.
During that gap fp is still linked on m_fp_list with f_state ==
FP_INITED. ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() under m_lock read calls
ksmbd_fp_get() (atomic_inc_not_zero on refcount that is still 1) and
takes a live reference; the scavenger then unlinks and frees fp
while the holder owns a reference, leading to UAF on the holder's
subsequent ksmbd_fd_put() and on any field reads performed by a
concurrent share-mode walker that iterates m_fp_list without taking
ksmbd_fp_get() (smb_check_perm_dleases-like paths).
Fix both:
* Stop reusing fp->node as a scavenger-private list node. Remove
one expired handle from global_ft under global_ft.lock, take an
explicit transient reference, drop the lock, unlink fp->node
from m_fp_list under f_ci->m_lock, then drop both the durable
lifetime and transient references with atomic_sub_and_test(2,
&fp->refcount). If the scavenger is the last putter the close
runs there; otherwise an in-flight holder that already raced
through the m_fp_list lookup owns the final close via its
ksmbd_fd_put() path. The one-at-a-time disposal can rescan the
durable idr when multiple handles expire in the same pass, but
durable scavenging is a background expiration path and the final
full scan recomputes min_timeout before the next wait.
* Clear fp->persistent_id inside __ksmbd_remove_durable_fd() right
after idr_remove(), so a delayed final close from a holder that
snatched fp does not re-issue idr_remove() on a persistent id
that idr_alloc_cyclic() in ksmbd_open_durable_fd() may have
already handed out to a brand-new durable handle.
* Bypass the per-conn open_files_count decrement in
__put_fd_final() when fp is detached from any session table
(fp->conn cleared by session_fd_check() at durable preserve --
paired with the volatile_id clear at unpublish, so checking
fp->conn alone is sufficient). The walker that owns the final
close runs from an unrelated work->conn whose
stats.open_files_count never tracked this durable fp; without
this guard the holder would underflow that unrelated counter.
The two races are folded into one patch because patch (1) alone
cleans up the corrupted list but leaves a deterministic UAF window
for m_fp_list walkers that the transient-reference and
persistent_id discipline in (2) close; bisecting onto an
intermediate state would land on a UAF that pre-patch chaos merely
made less reproducible.
Validation:
* CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST coverage for the list_head reuse path.
* KASAN-enabled direct SMB2 durable-handle coverage that exercised
ksmbd_durable_scavenger() and non-NULL ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode()
returns while durable handles expired under concurrent rename
lookups, with no KASAN, UAF, list-corruption, ODEBUG, or WARNING
reports.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in compare_guid_key()
session_fd_check() walks the per-inode m_op_list during durable-handle
session teardown and sets op->conn = NULL for every opinfo whose conn
matched the closing session's connection. The matching opinfo, however,
stays linked in its per-ClientGuid lease_table_list entry's lb->lease_list
because destroy_lease_table() only runs on full TCP-connection teardown,
not on SESSION_LOGOFF.
If the same TCP connection then negotiates a fresh session with the
same ClientGuid (ClientGuid is bound to NEGOTIATE, not the session, and
is unchanged across LOGOFF + SETUP) and issues a SMB2 CREATE with a
lease context on a different inode, find_same_lease_key() walks
lb->lease_list, reaches the stale opinfo, and calls compare_guid_key(),
which unconditionally dereferences opinfo->conn->ClientGUID. The conn
pointer is NULL and the kernel panics.

configured with 'durable handles = yes'. KASAN report on mainline

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in proc_show_files()
When a SMB2 client opens a file with a durable v2 handle and then issues
SMB2 SESSION_LOGOFF, session_fd_check() clears fp->tcon = NULL on the
reconnectable file pointer but leaves the fp registered in global_ft.idr
until the durable scavenger fires (up to fp->durable_timeout seconds
later).

ksmbd: fix SID memory leak in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() on overflow
Commit 299f962c0b02 ("ksmbd: use check_add_overflow() to prevent u16
DACL size overflow") added check_add_overflow() guards that break out
of the ACE-building loops in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() when the
accumulated DACL size would wrap past 65535.
However, each iteration allocates a struct smb_sid via kmalloc_obj()
at the top of the loop and relies on the kfree(sid) call at the end
of the loop body (the 'pass_same_sid' label in the first loop, and
the explicit kfree at the tail of the second loop) to release it.
The newly introduced 'break' statements bypass those kfree() calls,
leaking the sid buffer every time an overflow is detected.
A malicious or malformed file with enough POSIX ACL entries to trip
the overflow check will leak one or more struct smb_sid allocations
on every request that touches the file's DACL, providing a trivial
kernel memory exhaustion vector.
Free sid before breaking out of the loops to plug the leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: require net admin for CIFS SWN netlink
CIFS_GENL_CMD_SWN_NOTIFY is the userspace witness-notify command. The
intended sender is the cifs.witness helper, but the generic-netlink
operation currently has no capability flag, so any local process can send
RESOURCE_CHANGE or CLIENT_MOVE notifications to the in-kernel witness
handler.
The same family exposes CIFS_GENL_MCGRP_SWN without multicast-group
capability flags. Register messages sent to that group include the witness
registration id and, for NTLM-authenticated mounts, the username, domain,
and password attributes copied from the CIFS session. An unprivileged
local process should not be able to join that group and receive those
messages.
Require CAP_NET_ADMIN for incoming SWN_NOTIFY commands with
GENL_ADMIN_PERM, and require CAP_NET_ADMIN over the network namespace for
joining the SWN multicast group with GENL_MCAST_CAP_NET_ADMIN. The
cifs.witness service runs with the privileges needed for both operations.

adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() declares a 5-byte stack buffer and
passes it to i2c_smbus_read_block_data() to retrieve the 4-byte
BLACKBOX_INFO response. i2c_smbus_read_block_data() does not honour
caller buffer sizes -- it memcpy()s data.block[0] bytes from the
SMBus transaction (where data.block[0] is the length byte returned by
the slave device, up to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX = 32):
memcpy(values, &data.block[1], data.block[0]);
If the device returns any block length above 5, the call overflows
the caller's 5-byte stack buffer before the post-call
if (ret != 4)
return -EIO;
check has a chance to reject the response.
Widen the local buffer to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX so the helper has room
for any well-formed SMBus block response, matching the convention used
by the other i2c_smbus_read_block_data() callers in this driver.
