| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain
It may happen that mm is already released, which leads to kernel panic.
This adds the NULL check for current->mm, similarly to
commit 20afc60f892d ("x86, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain").
I was getting this panic when running a profiling BPF program
(profile.py from bcc-tools):

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rose: fix NULL pointer dereference in rose_transmit_link on reconnect
syzkaller reported a bug [1], and the reproducer is available at [2].
ROSE sockets use four sk->sk_state values: TCP_CLOSE, TCP_LISTEN,
TCP_SYN_SENT, and TCP_ESTABLISHED. rose_connect() already rejects
calls for TCP_ESTABLISHED (-EISCONN) and TCP_CLOSE with SS_CONNECTING
(-ECONNREFUSED), but lacks a check for TCP_SYN_SENT.
When rose_connect() is called a second time while the first connection
attempt is still in progress (TCP_SYN_SENT), it overwrites
rose->neighbour via rose_get_neigh(). If that returns NULL, the socket
is left with rose->state == ROSE_STATE_1 but rose->neighbour == NULL.
When the socket is subsequently closed, rose_release() sees
ROSE_STATE_1 and calls rose_write_internal() ->
rose_transmit_link(skb, NULL), causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Per connect(2), a second connect() while a connection is already in
progress should return -EALREADY. Add this missing check for
TCP_SYN_SENT to complete the state validation in rose_connect().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/dmc: Fix an unlikely NULL pointer deference at probe
intel_dmc_update_dc6_allowed_count() oopses when DMC hasn't been
initialized, and dmc is thus NULL.
That would be the case when the call path is
intel_power_domains_init_hw() -> {skl,bxt,icl}_display_core_init() ->
gen9_set_dc_state() -> intel_dmc_update_dc6_allowed_count(), as
intel_power_domains_init_hw() is called *before* intel_dmc_init().
However, gen9_set_dc_state() calls intel_dmc_update_dc6_allowed_count()
conditionally, depending on the current and target DC states. At probe,
the target is disabled, but if DC6 is enabled, the function is called,
and an oops follows. Apparently it's quite unlikely that DC6 is enabled
at probe, as we haven't seen this failure mode before.
It is also strange to have DC6 enabled at boot, since that would require
the DMC firmware (loaded by BIOS); the BIOS loading the DMC firmware and
the driver stopping / reprogramming the firmware is a poorly specified
sequence and as such unlikely an intentional BIOS behaviour. It's more
likely that BIOS is leaving an unintentionally enabled DC6 HW state
behind (without actually loading the required DMC firmware for this).
The tracking of the DC6 allowed counter only works if starting /
stopping the counter depends on the _SW_ DC6 state vs. the current _HW_
DC6 state (since stopping the counter requires the DC5 counter captured
when the counter was started). Thus, using the HW DC6 state is incorrect
and it also leads to the above oops. Fix both issues by using the SW DC6
state for the tracking.
This is v2 of the fix originally sent by Jani, updated based on the
first Link: discussion below.

mm: prevent derefencing NULL ptr in pfn_section_valid()
Commit 5ec8e8ea8b77 ("mm/sparsemem: fix race in accessing
memory_section->usage") changed pfn_section_valid() to add a READ_ONCE()
call around "ms->usage" to fix a race with section_deactivate() where
ms->usage can be cleared. The READ_ONCE() call, by itself, is not enough
to prevent NULL pointer dereference. We need to check its value before
dereferencing it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Use a memory barrier to enforce PTP WQ xmit submission tracking occurs after populating the metadata_map
Just simply reordering the functions mlx5e_ptp_metadata_map_put and
mlx5e_ptpsq_track_metadata in the mlx5e_txwqe_complete context is not good
enough since both the compiler and CPU are free to reorder these two
functions. If reordering does occur, the issue that was supposedly fixed by
7e3f3ba97e6c ("net/mlx5e: Track xmit submission to PTP WQ after populating
metadata map") will be seen. This will lead to NULL pointer dereferences in
mlx5e_ptpsq_mark_ts_cqes_undelivered in the NAPI polling context due to the
tracking list being populated before the metadata map. |

tipc: move bc link creation back to tipc_node_create
Shuang Li reported a NULL pointer dereference crash:
[] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000068
[] RIP: 0010:tipc_link_is_up+0x5/0x10 [tipc]
[] Call Trace:
[] <IRQ>

[] tipc_rcv+0x3af/0x5b0 [tipc]
[] tipc_udp_recv+0xc7/0x1e0 [tipc]
It was caused by the 'l' passed into tipc_bcast_rcv() is NULL. When it
creates a node in tipc_node_check_dest(), after inserting the new node
into hashtable in tipc_node_create(), it creates the bc link. However,
there is a gap between this insert and bc link creation, a bc packet
may come in and get the node from the hashtable then try to dereference
its bc link, which is NULL.
This patch is to fix it by moving the bc link creation before inserting
into the hashtable.
Note that for a preliminary node becoming "real", the bc link creation
should also be called before it's rehashed, as we don't create it for
preliminary nodes. |

drm/virtio: Ensure that objs is not NULL in virtio_gpu_array_put_free()
If virtio_gpu_object_shmem_init() fails (e.g. due to fault injection, as it

ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: Fix NULL pointer dereference
If there's a mismatch between the DAI links in the machine driver and
the topology, it is possible that the playback/capture widget is not
set, especially in the case of loopback capture for echo reference
where we use the dummy DAI link. Return the error when the widget is not
set to avoid a null pointer dereference like below when the topology is
broken.

usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix net_device lifecycle with device_move
The network device outlived its parent gadget device during
disconnection, resulting in dangling sysfs links and null pointer
dereference problems.
A prior attempt to solve this by removing SET_NETDEV_DEV entirely [1]
was reverted due to power management ordering concerns and a NO-CARRIER
regression.
A subsequent attempt to defer net_device allocation to bind [2] broke
1:1 mapping between function instance and network device, making it
impossible for configfs to report the resolved interface name. This
results in a regression where the DHCP server fails on pmOS.
Use device_move to reparent the net_device between the gadget device and
/sys/devices/virtual/ across bind/unbind cycles. This preserves the
network interface across USB reconnection, allowing the DHCP server to
retain their binding.
Introduce gether_attach_gadget()/gether_detach_gadget() helpers and use
__free(detach_gadget) macro to undo attachment on bind failure. The
bind_count ensures device_move executes only on the first bind.

net/sched: teql: fix NULL pointer dereference in iptunnel_xmit on TEQL slave xmit
teql_master_xmit() calls netdev_start_xmit(skb, slave) to transmit
through slave devices, but does not update skb->dev to the slave device
beforehand.
When a gretap tunnel is a TEQL slave, the transmit path reaches
iptunnel_xmit() which saves dev = skb->dev (still pointing to teql0
master) and later calls iptunnel_xmit_stats(dev, pkt_len). This
function does:
get_cpu_ptr(dev->tstats)
Since teql_master_setup() does not set dev->pcpu_stat_type to
NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS, the core network stack never allocates tstats
for teql0, so dev->tstats is NULL. get_cpu_ptr(NULL) computes
NULL + __per_cpu_offset[cpu], resulting in a page fault.

usb: legacy: ncm: Fix NPE in gncm_bind
Commit 56a512a9b410 ("usb: gadget: f_ncm: align net_device lifecycle
with bind/unbind") deferred the allocation of the net_device. This
change leads to a NULL pointer dereference in the legacy NCM driver as
it attempts to access the net_device before it's fully instantiated.
Store the provided qmult, host_addr, and dev_addr into the struct
ncm_opts->net_opts during gncm_bind(). These values will be properly
applied to the net_device when it is allocated and configured later in
the binding process by the NCM function driver. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: vidtv: fix pass-by-value structs causing MSAN warnings
vidtv_ts_null_write_into() and vidtv_ts_pcr_write_into() take their
argument structs by value, causing MSAN to report uninit-value warnings.
While only vidtv_ts_null_write_into() has triggered a report so far,
both functions share the same issue.
Fix by passing both structs by const pointer instead, avoiding the
stack copy of the struct along with its MSAN shadow and origin metadata.
The functions do not modify the structs, which is enforced by the const
qualifier. |

wifi: mac80211: fix NULL pointer dereference in mesh_rx_csa_frame()
In mesh_rx_csa_frame(), elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie is dereferenced
at lines 1638 and 1642 without a prior NULL check:
ifmsh->chsw_ttl = elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie->mesh_ttl;
...
pre_value = le16_to_cpu(elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie->mesh_pre_value);
The mesh_matches_local() check above only validates the Mesh ID,
Mesh Configuration, and Supported Rates IEs. It does not verify the
presence of the Mesh Channel Switch Parameters IE (element ID 118).
When a received CSA action frame omits that IE, ieee802_11_parse_elems()
leaves elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie as NULL, and the unconditional
dereference causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference.
A remote mesh peer with an established peer link (PLINK_ESTAB) can
trigger this by sending a crafted SPECTRUM_MGMT/CHL_SWITCH action frame
that includes a matching Mesh ID and Mesh Configuration IE but omits the
Mesh Channel Switch Parameters IE. No authentication beyond the default
open mesh peering is required.
Crash confirmed on kernel 6.17.0-5-generic via mac80211_hwsim:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

CR2: 0000000000000000
Fix by adding a NULL check for mesh_chansw_params_ie after
mesh_matches_local() returns, consistent with how other optional IEs
are guarded throughout the mesh code.

drbd: fix null-pointer dereference on local read error
In drbd_request_endio(), READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR is passed to
__req_mod() with a NULL peer_device:
__req_mod(req, what, NULL, &m);
The READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR handler then unconditionally passes this
NULL peer_device to drbd_set_out_of_sync(), which dereferences it,
causing a null-pointer dereference.
Fix this by obtaining the peer_device via first_peer_device(device),
matching how drbd_req_destroy() handles the same situation. |

The issue occurs because rsu_send_async_msg() fails when RSU is not enabled
in firmware, causing the channel to be freed via stratix10_svc_free_channel().
However, the probe function continues execution and registers
svc_normal_to_secure_thread(), which subsequently attempts to access the
already-freed channel, triggering the NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by properly cleaning up the async client and returning early on
failure, preventing the thread from being used with an invalid channel. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix NULL pointer dereference in update_cpu_qos_request()
The update_cpu_qos_request() function attempts to initialize the 'freq'
variable by dereferencing 'cpudata' before verifying if the 'policy'
is valid.
This issue occurs on systems booted with the "nosmt" parameter, where
all_cpu_data[cpu] is NULL for the SMT sibling threads. As a result,
any call to update_qos_requests() will result in a NULL pointer
dereference as the code will attempt to access pstate.turbo_freq using
the NULL cpudata pointer.
Also, pstate.turbo_freq may be updated by intel_pstate_get_hwp_cap()
after initializing the 'freq' variable, so it is better to defer the
'freq' until intel_pstate_get_hwp_cap() has been called.
Fix this by deferring the 'freq' assignment until after the policy and
driver_data have been validated.
