| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: fix NULL pointer dereference in __xsk_rcv()
In the __xsk_rcv() multi-buffer path, xsk_buff_alloc() is called in a
loop without checking its return value. xsk_buff_can_alloc() only
counts fill queue entries without validating their addresses, so it
can succeed while xsk_buff_alloc() rejects all remaining entries and
returns NULL.
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range
[0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
RIP: 0010:__xsk_rcv+0x426/0xc20 (net/xdp/xsk.c:350)
Call Trace:

Fix this with a two-stage transaction. First allocate and stage all
buffers required for the packet, recycling all staged buffers with
xsk_buff_free() if any allocation fails. Only after this stage
succeeds, copy the data, reserve the RX descriptors, and release the
buffers in an error-free loop. |
| Control iD iDSecure versions prior to 4.8.3.0 are affected by an unauthenticated Denial of Service.
The /api/dguardintegration/dguardVersion endpoint dereferences DGuard integration login state that may be unset, raising an unhandled null reference exception. The exception is thrown from an asynchronous method that returns void, so it is not observed by a caller and can terminate the iDSecure process. |
| A flaw has been found in Artifex MuPDF up to b6d17493700c621c0e70036980a6ebd06d2202c9. Affected by this vulnerability is the function pdf_open_filter of the file pdf-stream.c of the component PDF Xref Loading. Executing a manipulation can lead to null pointer dereference. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is called 3df1e30f9d7b77260e13bd0dbe1928ddeba8386e. Applying a patch is advised to resolve this issue. |
| A weakness has been identified in GNU Binutils 2.47. Affected is the function bfd_putl64 of the file bfd/libbfd.c of the component ld. This manipulation causes null pointer dereference. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix scope of mqd_mgr dereference in pqm_debugfs_mqds
Reading /sys/kernel/debug/kfd/mqds while a process holds an active KFD
queue triggers a NULL pointer dereference because the for loop that
calls mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd() is incorrectly placed outside the
if (pqn->q) block that initializes mqd_mgr.
The queue list can contain entries where pqn->q is NULL (kernel queues
where only pqn->kq is valid). In the original code:
if (pqn->q) {
...
mqd_mgr = q->device->dqm->mqd_mgrs[mqd_type];
size = mqd_mgr->mqd_stride(...);
}
for (xcc = 0; xcc < num_xccs; xcc++) { // WRONG: outside if block
mqd = q->mqd + size * xcc;
r = mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd(m, mqd);
}
When iterating over a queue node where pqn->q is NULL:
1. The if (pqn->q) block is skipped
2. mqd_mgr remains uninitialized (NULL from declaration)
3. The for loop executes anyway
4. mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd(m, mqd) dereferences NULL
The crash manifests as:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
#PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode
RIP: 0010:0x0

...
Fix by moving the for loop inside the if (pqn->q) block, so mqd_mgr
and related variables are only used when properly initialized.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau/uvmm: fix NULL deref unwinding an OP_MAP_SPARSE op
Each bind_job_op is zeroed by kzalloc_obj() in bind_job_op_from_uop(),
and the OP_MAP_SPARSE case in nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_submit() only creates
a region, so op->ops stays NULL for a successfully processed sparse map.
If a later op in the same job fails, the reverse unwind loop revisits that
op and calls drm_gpuva_ops_free(&uvmm->base, op->ops) unconditionally.
drm_gpuva_ops_free() dereferences its argument right away
(list_for_each_entry_safe on &ops->list), so a NULL op->ops oopses. The
path is reachable by any render-node fd holder, since NOUVEAU_VM_BIND is
DRM_RENDER_ALLOW.
Guard the free with IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), as nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_cleanup()
already does for the identical free. |

media: platform: mtk-mdp3: fix NULL deref on failed SCP lookup
Add the missing sanity check after looking up the SCP to avoid
dereferencing a NULL-pointer in case its driver has not yet been bound. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix init ordering in amdgpu_vram_mgr_init()
drmm_cgroup_register_region() is called before INIT_LIST_HEAD() and
gpu_buddy_init() in amdgpu_vram_mgr_init(). If it fails, the function
returns early and bypasses those initializations.
Since adev->mman.initialized is set to true before amdgpu_vram_mgr_init()
is called, a failure triggers amdgpu_ttm_fini(), which calls
amdgpu_vram_mgr_fini(), which then:
- Calls list_for_each_entry_safe() on reservations_pending and
reserved_pages, whose list_head::next pointers are zero-initialized
(NULL). The loop does not recognize them as empty and dereferences NULL.
- Calls gpu_buddy_fini(), which iterates free_trees[] unconditionally
via for_each_free_tree(). Since mm->free_trees is NULL
(never allocated), this dereferences NULL.
Both result in a kernel panic on the module load error path.
Fix by moving drmm_cgroup_register_region() to after the list and buddy
allocator are fully initialized, so the teardown path is safe to run. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: avoid NULL checkpoint thread access in sysfs
checkpoint_merge can be enabled even when no checkpoint merge thread is
running. A read-only mount is one case: f2fs does not start
f2fs_issue_ckpt there, but ckpt_thread_ioprio is still writable through
sysfs.
The ckpt_thread_ioprio store path updates the saved ioprio value and,
when checkpoint_merge is enabled, calls set_task_ioprio() for the
checkpoint thread. If cprc->f2fs_issue_ckpt is NULL, that dereferences a
NULL task pointer.
Protect ckpt_thread_ioprio sysfs writes with s_umount as well, so the
checkpoint thread cannot disappear under the store path while updating
its ioprio. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: guard against NULL restore_mqd in CRIU queue restore
Both create_queue_cpsch() and create_queue_nocpsch() unconditionally
call mqd_mgr->restore_mqd() when a CRIU restore is in progress
(qd != NULL), with no NULL guard. On any system where restore_mqd is
not implemented for the given queue type, a user holding
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE can trigger a kernel NULL pointer dereference
and panic the machine by issuing KFD_IOC_CRIU_OP_RESTORE with a
crafted queue restore object. Note that checkpoint_mqd is likewise
unimplemented on GFX12, so no legitimate CRIU image can reach this
path — only a hand-crafted restore payload.
Add a NULL guard for restore_mqd immediately after mqd_mgr is
resolved, unwinding via the existing error labels and returning
-EOPNOTSUPP if the callback is not implemented. This mirrors the
existing checkpoint_mqd guard in checkpoint_mqd(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Guard against NULL driver_data in i915_pci_probe()
pci_match_device() can return the dummy pci_device_id_any entry
when a device is force-bound via sysfs driver_override, in which
case ->driver_data is unset (NULL). i915_pci_probe() casts it to
struct intel_device_info * unconditionally and dereferences
intel_info->require_force_probe, causing a NULL-ptr-deref.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: edif: Fix NULL pointer deref in RX SA delete check
qla_chk_edif_rx_sa_delete_pending() obtains the SCSI command via
GET_CMD_SP(sp) and immediately dereferences cmd->sc_data_direction.
That command pointer can be NULL: the firmware may post a status
completion for a command that has already been returned or aborted. The
caller qla2x00_status_entry() acknowledges this on the very same status
path, re-fetching GET_CMD_SP(sp) and bailing out with the "Command
already returned" message when it is NULL -- but that check runs only
after qla_chk_edif_rx_sa_delete_pending() has already dereferenced the
pointer, so a NULL cmd crashes the kernel in interrupt context.
Return early when cmd is NULL, before touching cmd->sc_data_direction. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: Fix DMA mapping ownership on partial map failure
If RX mapping fails after TX mapping succeeds, __spi_map_msg() unmaps
TX but leaves tx_sg_mapped set. If TX mapping fails on a later
transfer, mappings created for earlier transfers remain active.
In both cases, cur_{tx,rx}_dma_dev have not yet been updated because they
are assigned only after every transfer has been mapped. The subsequent
spi_unmap_msg() may therefore unmap the TX mapping again or release
earlier mappings using a NULL or stale device. Using a NULL device can
trigger an oops. An empty SG table does not prevent the NULL dereference
because dma_unmap_sg_attrs() accesses the device before checking the
entry count.
Publish both mapping devices before mapping starts and unwind all
failures through __spi_unmap_msg(). This clears the mapping flags and
releases each mapping once with the device that created it.
Publishing the devices before the loop also refreshes them when no
transfer needs mapping. No mapping flag is set in that case, so current
users do not use the pointers as mapping owners. |

mm/hugetlb_cma: fix null nodemask dereference in hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio
alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() can pass a NULL nodemask to
alloc_fresh_hugetlb_folio() as a fallback to allocate from all nodes. If
order is gigantic, alloc_fresh_hugetlb_folio() propagates the NULL
nodemask down to hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() via
alloc_gigantic_frozen_folio().
Additionally, hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() previously attempted
allocation on hugetlb_cma[nid] without verifying if nid is included in the
caller's nodemask. Adding a node_isset(nid, *nodemask) check ensures the
initial preferred node allocation honors the memory policy / nodemask.
However, hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() dereferences the nodemask in
node_isset(nid, *nodemask) and for_each_node_mask(node, *nodemask),
leading to a null pointer dereference kernel panic when nodemask is NULL.
Fix this by checking if nodemask is NULL in
hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() and defaulting it to
cpuset_current_mems_allowed. Enclose the allocation attempts within the
cpuset seqcount retry loop so that if the cpuset changes concurrently
during allocation, the attempts are retried using the updated nodemask.
This ensures that the initial node check and fallback loop safely honor
the task's cpuset without violating cpuset constraints or causing NULL
pointer dereferences or unexpected allocation failures.
From a userspace perspective, this bug allows an unprivileged user to
crash the kernel (trigger a panic) by requesting a gigantic hugepage
allocation with MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY on a system where CMA is only
configured on a subset of NUMA nodes.
This can be reproduced by booting a VM with two NUMA nodes, restricting
CMA to Node 1 (e.g., hugetlb_cma=1:1G default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G
hugepages=0), and running a program that allocates a 1GB hugepage area
without reserving, restricts allocation to Node 0 using mbind() with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, and triggers a page fault:
void *ptr = mmap(NULL, 1UL << 30, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB |
MAP_HUGE_1GB | MAP_NORESERVE, -1, 0);
unsigned long nodemask = 1; /* Node 0 */
mbind(ptr, 1UL << 30, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, &nodemask,
sizeof(nodemask) * 8, 0);
memset(ptr, 0, 1UL << 30); /* Trigger fault */
This results in a NULL pointer dereference:

dmaengine: dw-edma: Initialize IRQ data before requesting IRQs
dw_edma_irq_request() passes struct dw_edma_irq to request_irq() before
dw_edma_channel_setup() fills the back pointer. A shared interrupt can
therefore enter the handler with dw_irq->dw still NULL, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference.
Set the back pointer before installing each handler. |

USB: gadget: fix NULL pointer dereference in gadget_dev_ioctl()
gadget_dev_ioctl() reads dev->gadget before acquiring dev->lock, but
dev->state is checked after acquiring the lock. Therefore a concurrent
bind can change the device state between these operations, which can
leave ioctl with a stale NULL gadget pointer and causing a NULL pointer
dereference at gadget->ops->ioctl.
Read dev->gadget while holding dev->lock so that the gadget pointer
and device state are sampled consistently. |

s390/vfio-ap: Fix dereference matrix_mdev->kvm without checking for NULL
The ap_driver structure has two fields which are function pointers to
callbacks:
* .on_config_changed: called at the start of the AP bus scan function to
notify the device driver that the host AP
configuration has changed and the associated AP
devices will be added or removed accordingly. This
gives the implementor a chance to evaluate the
configuration changes and respond to them before
the associated devices are added or removed.
* .on_scan_complete: Called at the end of the AP bus scan function to
notify the device driver that the host AP
configuration has changed and the AP devices have
been added or removed accordingly. This gives the
implementor the opportunity to respond to the
changes after the associated devices are added or
removed.
These two callbacks are implemented in the vfio_ap device driver via the
vfio_ap_on_cfg_changed and vfio_ap_on_scan_complete functions respectively.
Within the call stack of these two callback functions the
matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex is taken without checking whether
matrix_mdev->kvm is NULL or not. If matrix_mdev->kvm has never been set,
trying to take the lock will trigger a NULL pointer dereference. This patch
adds checks for matrix_mdev->kvm == NULL before taking the
matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex.
Note that the matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex taken in the
vfio_ap_mdev_hot_plug_config function is moved to the calling function
along with the matrix_dev->mdevs_lock which is needed there to access
the fields of the matrix_mdev. It makes little sense to make the change
the check for matrix_mdev->kvm there before taking the kvm->lock
mutex only to have to move it out via another patch, so it is done in
this patch.
It is important to make note of the following:
1. The matrix_dev->guests_lock is acquired at the start of both callback
functions. This ensures that matrix_mdev will not be removed via the
vfio_ap_mdev_remove function because it too takes matrix_dev_guests_lock
before removing the object; so, matrix_mdev will be available for the
duration of the callback functions.
2. The matrix_dev->mdevs_lock mutex must be taken in order to access
fields within the matrix_mdev structure
3. matrix_mdev->kvm->lock mutex must be taken before the
matrix_dev->mdevs_lock to prevent a lockdep splat.
4: The kvm->lock must be held while plugging the guest's AP configuration
into its SIE state description via the vfio_ap_mdev_update_guest_apcb
function.
5. The vfio_ap_mdev_update_guest_apcb checks matrix_mdev->kvm to verify it
is not NULL before doing the hot plug of the guest's AP configuration. |

powerpc/kexec_file: Fix null-ptr-def in extra size calculation
A static Sashiko AI review identified a potential NULL pointer
dereference in kexec_extra_fdt_size_ppc64().
On platforms without any reserved memory regions,
get_reserved_memory_ranges() can return 0 while leaving 'rmem'
unallocated as NULL. Passing it directly leads to a kernel panic when
evaluating 'rmem->nr_ranges'.
Add a NULL check for 'rmem' to prevent this crash. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: airspy: use vb2_video_unregister_device() on disconnect to fix NULL deref
airspy_disconnect() clears s->udev under v4l2_lock, but
airspy_stop_streaming() unconditionally calls airspy_ctrl_msg() and
airspy_free_stream_bufs() afterwards. If a streaming user closes the
device after disconnect, stop_streaming() runs and dereferences the
NULL s->udev:
airspy_stop_streaming()
airspy_ctrl_msg(s, CMD_RECEIVER_MODE, 0, 0, NULL, 0)
usb_sndctrlpipe(s->udev, 0) /* NULL deref */
airspy_free_stream_bufs(s)
usb_free_coherent(s->udev, ...) /* NULL deref */
The airspy driver uses vb2_fop_release() in its file_operations, so
replace video_unregister_device(&s->vdev) with
vb2_video_unregister_device(&s->vdev) and move it before clearing
s->udev. vb2_video_unregister_device() releases the vb2 queue, which
synchronously runs airspy_stop_streaming() if streaming is active, so
the URBs, coherent DMA stream buffers and the hardware stop control
message all execute while s->udev is still valid.
vb2_video_unregister_device() locks vdev->queue->lock (vb_queue_lock)
internally, and stop_streaming() locks v4l2_lock, so the previous outer
mutex_lock(&s->vb_queue_lock) / mutex_lock(&s->v4l2_lock) pair around
the unregister sequence would self-deadlock and has been removed. A
short v4l2_lock critical section around s->udev = NULL remains so any
ioctl path that still holds the file descriptor sees coherent state.
