| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix unlocked call to hns_roce_qp_remove()
Sashiko points out that hns_roce_qp_remove() requires the caller to hold
locks. The error flow in hns_roce_create_qp_common() doesn't hold those
locks for the error unwind so it risks corrupting memory.
Grab the same locks the other two callers use. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: fix potential UAF in SSP passkey handlers
hci_conn lookup and field access must be covered by hdev lock in
hci_user_passkey_notify_evt() and hci_keypress_notify_evt(), otherwise
the connection can be freed concurrently.
Extend the hci_dev_lock critical section to cover all conn usage in both
handlers.
Keep the existing keypress notification behavior unchanged by routing
the early exits through a common unlock path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250: Fix TX deadlock when using DMA
`dmaengine_terminate_async` does not guarantee that the
`__dma_tx_complete` callback will run. The callback is currently the
only place where `dma->tx_running` gets cleared. If the transaction is
canceled and the callback never runs, then `dma->tx_running` will never
get cleared and we will never schedule new TX DMA transactions again.
This change makes it so we clear `dma->tx_running` after we terminate
the DMA transaction. This is "safe" because `serial8250_tx_dma_flush`
is holding the UART port lock. The first thing the callback does is also
grab the UART port lock, so access to `dma->tx_running` is serialized. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix dead lock for suspend and resume
When an application issues a query IOCTL while auto suspend is running,
a deadlock can occur. The query path holds dev_lock and then calls
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which waits for the ongoing suspend to
complete. Meanwhile, the suspend callback attempts to acquire dev_lock
and blocks, resulting in a deadlock.
Fix this by releasing dev_lock before calling pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
and reacquiring it after the call completes. Also acquire dev_lock in the
resume callback to keep the locking consistent. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: protect path kfree() with damon_sysfs_lock
damon_sysfs_quot_goal->path can be read and written by users, via DAMON
sysfs 'path' file. It can also be indirectly read, for the parameters
{on,off}line committing to DAMON. The reads for parameters committing are
protected by damon_sysfs_lock to avoid the sysfs files being destroyed
while any of the parameters are being read. But the user-driven direct
reads and writes are not protected by any lock, while the write is
deallocating the path-pointing buffer. As a result, the readers could
read the already freed buffer (user-after-free). Note that the user-reads
don't race when the same open file is used by the writer, due to kernfs's
open file locking. Nonetheless, doing the reads and writes with separate
open files would be common. Fix it by protecting both the user-direct
reads and writes with damon_sysfs_lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: appletb-kbd: run inactivity autodim from workqueues
The autodim code in hid-appletb-kbd takes backlight_device->ops_lock
via backlight_device_set_brightness() -> mutex_lock() from two
different atomic contexts:
* appletb_inactivity_timer() is a struct timer_list callback, so it
runs in softirq context. Every expiry triggers
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:591
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
__might_resched
__mutex_lock
backlight_device_set_brightness
appletb_inactivity_timer
call_timer_fn
run_timer_softirq
* reset_inactivity_timer() is called from appletb_kbd_hid_event() and
appletb_kbd_inp_event(). On real USB hardware these run in
softirq/IRQ context (URB completion and input-event dispatch).
When the Touch Bar has already been dimmed or turned off, the
reset path calls backlight_device_set_brightness() directly to
restore brightness, producing the same warning.
Both call sites hit the same mutex_lock()-from-atomic bug. Fix them
together by moving the blocking work onto the system workqueue:
* Convert the inactivity timer from struct timer_list to
struct delayed_work; the callback (appletb_inactivity_work) now
runs in process context where mutex_lock() is legal.
* Add a dedicated struct work_struct restore_brightness_work and have
reset_inactivity_timer() schedule it instead of calling
backlight_device_set_brightness() directly.
Cancel both works synchronously during driver tear-down alongside the
existing backlight reference drop.
The semantics are unchanged (same delays, same state transitions on
dim, turn-off and user activity); only the execution context of the
sleeping call changes. The timer field and callback are renamed to
match their new type; reset_inactivity_timer() keeps its name because
it is invoked from input event paths that read naturally as "reset
the inactivity timer". |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_alloc: return NULL early from alloc_frozen_pages_nolock() in NMI on UP
On UP kernels (!CONFIG_SMP), spin_trylock() is a no-op that
unconditionally succeeds even when the lock is already held. As a
result, alloc_frozen_pages_nolock() called from NMI context can
re-enter rmqueue() and acquire the zone lock that the interrupted
context is already holding, corrupting the freelists.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK on UP, the following BUG is triggered with
the slub_kunit test module:
BUG: spinlock trylock failure on UP on CPU#0, kunit_try_catch/243

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: Fix a hmm_range_fault() livelock / starvation problem
If hmm_range_fault() fails a folio_trylock() in do_swap_page,
trying to acquire the lock of a device-private folio for migration,
to ram, the function will spin until it succeeds grabbing the lock.
However, if the process holding the lock is depending on a work
item to be completed, which is scheduled on the same CPU as the
spinning hmm_range_fault(), that work item might be starved and
we end up in a livelock / starvation situation which is never
resolved.
This can happen, for example if the process holding the
device-private folio lock is stuck in
migrate_device_unmap()->lru_add_drain_all()
sinc lru_add_drain_all() requires a short work-item
to be run on all online cpus to complete.
A prerequisite for this to happen is:
a) Both zone device and system memory folios are considered in
migrate_device_unmap(), so that there is a reason to call
lru_add_drain_all() for a system memory folio while a
folio lock is held on a zone device folio.
b) The zone device folio has an initial mapcount > 1 which causes
at least one migration PTE entry insertion to be deferred to
try_to_migrate(), which can happen after the call to
lru_add_drain_all().
c) No or voluntary only preemption.
This all seems pretty unlikely to happen, but indeed is hit by
the "xe_exec_system_allocator" igt test.
Resolve this by waiting for the folio to be unlocked if the
folio_trylock() fails in do_swap_page().
Rename migration_entry_wait_on_locked() to
softleaf_entry_wait_unlock() and update its documentation to
indicate the new use-case.
Future code improvements might consider moving
the lru_add_drain_all() call in migrate_device_unmap() to be
called *after* all pages have migration entries inserted.
That would eliminate also b) above.
v2:
- Instead of a cond_resched() in hmm_range_fault(),
eliminate the problem by waiting for the folio to be unlocked
in do_swap_page() (Alistair Popple, Andrew Morton)
v3:
- Add a stub migration_entry_wait_on_locked() for the
!CONFIG_MIGRATION case. (Kernel Test Robot)
v4:
- Rename migrate_entry_wait_on_locked() to
softleaf_entry_wait_on_locked() and update docs (Alistair Popple)
v5:
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() for the !CONFIG_MIGRATION
version of softleaf_entry_wait_on_locked().
- Modify wording around function names in the commit message

| NLnet Labs Unbound 1.14.0 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a locking inconsistency vulnerability that when certain conditions are met (multi-threaded, RPZ XFR reload, RPZ zone with 'rpz-nsip'/'rpz-nsdname' triggers) it could result in heap use-after-free and eventual crash. An adversary can exploit the vulnerability if conditions are first met on a vulnerable Unbound, i.e., multi-threaded, an RPZ zone with 'rpz-nsip'/'rpz-nsdname' triggers and an ongoing XFR for that RPZ zone. Local RPZ files do not trigger the vulnerability. If the timing is right and an XFR happens at the same time another thread needs to read that RPZ zone, the reader may not hold the lock long enough and the thread applying the XFR may free objects that the reader is about to walk causing the use-after-free. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with a fix to the locking code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_unregister_user
After commit ab4eedb790ca ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix corrupted list in
hci_chan_del"), l2cap_conn_del() uses conn->lock to protect access to
conn->users. However, l2cap_register_user() and l2cap_unregister_user()
don't use conn->lock, creating a race condition where these functions can
access conn->users and conn->hchan concurrently with l2cap_conn_del().
This can lead to use-after-free and list corruption bugs, as reported
by syzbot.
Fix this by changing l2cap_register_user() and l2cap_unregister_user()
to use conn->lock instead of hci_dev_lock(), ensuring consistent locking
for the l2cap_conn structure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spidev: fix lock inversion between spi_lock and buf_lock
The spidev driver previously used two mutexes, spi_lock and buf_lock,
but acquired them in different orders depending on the code path:
write()/read(): buf_lock -> spi_lock
ioctl(): spi_lock -> buf_lock
This AB-BA locking pattern triggers lockdep warnings and can
cause real deadlocks:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
spidev_ioctl() -> mutex_lock(&spidev->buf_lock)
spidev_sync_write() -> mutex_lock(&spidev->spi_lock)
*** DEADLOCK ***
The issue is reproducible with a simple userspace program that
performs write() and SPI_IOC_WR_MAX_SPEED_HZ ioctl() calls from
separate threads on the same spidev file descriptor.
Fix this by simplifying the locking model and removing the lock
inversion entirely. spidev_sync() no longer performs any locking,
and all callers serialize access using spi_lock.
buf_lock is removed since its functionality is fully covered by
spi_lock, eliminating the possibility of lock ordering issues.
This removes the lock inversion and prevents deadlocks without
changing userspace ABI or behaviour. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: Shuffle the tx ring before enabling tx
Quanyang observed that when using an NFS rootfs on an AMD ZynqMp board,
the rootfs may take an extended time to recover after a suspend.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the issue originates from a
problem in the macb driver.
According to the Zynq UltraScale TRM [1], when transmit is disabled,
the transmit buffer queue pointer resets to point to the address
specified by the transmit buffer queue base address register.
In the current implementation, the code merely resets `queue->tx_head`
and `queue->tx_tail` to '0'. This approach presents several issues:
- Packets already queued in the tx ring are silently lost,
leading to memory leaks since the associated skbs cannot be released.
- Concurrent write access to `queue->tx_head` and `queue->tx_tail` may
occur from `macb_tx_poll()` or `macb_start_xmit()` when these values
are reset to '0'.
- The transmission may become stuck on a packet that has already been sent
out, with its 'TX_USED' bit set, but has not yet been processed. However,
due to the manipulation of 'queue->tx_head' and 'queue->tx_tail',
`macb_tx_poll()` incorrectly assumes there are no packets to handle
because `queue->tx_head == queue->tx_tail`. This issue is only resolved
when a new packet is placed at this position. This is the root cause of
the prolonged recovery time observed for the NFS root filesystem.
To resolve this issue, shuffle the tx ring and tx skb array so that
the first unsent packet is positioned at the start of the tx ring.
Additionally, ensure that updates to `queue->tx_head` and
`queue->tx_tail` are properly protected with the appropriate lock.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Drop the lock in skb_may_tx_timestamp()
skb_may_tx_timestamp() may acquire sock::sk_callback_lock. The lock must
not be taken in IRQ context, only softirq is okay. A few drivers receive
the timestamp via a dedicated interrupt and complete the TX timestamp
from that handler. This will lead to a deadlock if the lock is already
write-locked on the same CPU.
Taking the lock can be avoided. The socket (pointed by the skb) will
remain valid until the skb is released. The ->sk_socket and ->file
member will be set to NULL once the user closes the socket which may
happen before the timestamp arrives.
If we happen to observe the pointer while the socket is closing but
before the pointer is set to NULL then we may use it because both
pointer (and the file's cred member) are RCU freed.
Drop the lock. Use READ_ONCE() to obtain the individual pointer. Add a
matching WRITE_ONCE() where the pointer are cleared. |
