| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "hwmon: (ibmpex) fix use-after-free in high/low store"
This reverts commit 6946c726c3f4c36f0f049e6f97e88c510b15f65d.
Jean Delvare points out that the patch does not completely
fix the reported problem, that it in fact introduces a
(new) race condition, and that it may actually not be needed in
the first place.
Various AI reviews agree. Specific and relevant AI feedback:
"
This reordering sets the driver data to NULL before removing the sensor
attributes in the loop below.
ibmpex_show_sensor() retrieves this driver data via dev_get_drvdata() but
does not check if it is NULL before dereferencing it to access
data->sensors[].
If a userspace process reads a sensor file (like temp1_input) while this
delete function is running, could it race with the dev_set_drvdata(...,
NULL) call here and crash in ibmpex_show_sensor()?
Would it be safer to keep the original order where device_remove_file() is
called before clearing the driver data? device_remove_file() should wait
for any active sysfs callbacks to complete, which might already prevent the
use-after-free this patch intends to fix.
"
Revert the offending patch. If it can be shown that the originally reported
alleged race condition does indeed exist, it can always be re-introduced
with a complete fix. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: mcast: always update mdb_n_entries for vlan contexts
syzbot triggered a warning[1] about the number of mdb entries in a context.
It turned out that there are multiple ways to trigger that warning today
(some got added during the years), the root cause of the problem is that
the increase is done conditionally, and over the years these different
conditions increased so there were new ways to trigger the warning, that is
to do a decrease which wasn't paired with a previous increase.
For example one way to trigger it is with flush:
$ ip l add br0 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1
$ ip l add dumdum up master br0 type dummy
$ bridge mdb add dev br0 port dumdum grp 239.0.0.1 permanent vid 1
$ ip link set dev br0 down
$ ip link set dev br0 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
^^^^ this will enable snooping, but will not update mdb_n_entries
because in __br_multicast_enable_port_ctx() we check !netif_running
$ bridge mdb flush dev br0
^^^ this will trigger the warning because it will delete the pg which
we added above, which will try to decrease mdb_n_entries
Fix the problem by removing the conditional increase and always keep the
count up-to-date while the vlan exists. In order to do that we have to
first initialize it on port-vlan context creation, and then always increase
or decrease the value regardless of mcast options. To keep the current
behaviour we have to enforce the mdb limit only if the context is port's or
if the port-vlan's mcast snooping is enabled.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't cache extent during splitting extent
Caching extents during the splitting process is risky, as it may result
in stale extents remaining in the status tree. Moreover, in most cases,
the corresponding extent block entries are likely already cached before
the split happens, making caching here not particularly useful.
Assume we have an unwritten extent, and then DIO writes the first half.
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] on-disk extent U: unwritten extent
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] extent status tree
|<- ->| ----> dio write this range
First, when ext4_split_extent_at() splits this extent, it truncates the
existing extent and then inserts a new one. During this process, this
extent status entry may be shrunk, and calls to ext4_find_extent() and
ext4_cache_extents() may occur, which could potentially insert the
truncated range as a hole into the extent status tree. After the split
is completed, this hole is not replaced with the correct status.
[UUUUUUU|UUUUUUUU] on-disk extent U: unwritten extent
[UUUUUUU|HHHHHHHH] extent status tree H: hole
Then, the outer calling functions will not correct this remaining hole
extent either. Finally, if we perform a delayed buffer write on this
latter part, it will re-insert the delayed extent and cause an error in
space accounting.
In adition, if the unwritten extent cache is not shrunk during the
splitting, ext4_cache_extents() also conflicts with existing extents
when caching extents. In the future, we will add checks when caching
extents, which will trigger a warning. Therefore, Do not cache extents
that are being split. |

WARNING: lib/refcount.c:28 at refcount_warn_saturate+0x138/0x1a0, CPU#3: kworker/u17:4/93400
The issue is caused by a race condition between retransmit_timer() and
rxe_destroy_qp, leading to the Queue Pair's (QP) reference count dropping
to zero during timer handler execution.
It seems this warning is harmless because rxe_qp_do_cleanup() will flush
all pending timers and requests.
Example of flow causing the issue:
CPU0 CPU1
retransmit_timer() {
spin_lock_irqsave
rxe_destroy_qp()
__rxe_cleanup()
__rxe_put() // qp->ref_count decrease to 0
rxe_qp_do_cleanup() {
if (qp->valid) {
rxe_sched_task() {
WARN_ON(rxe_read(task->qp) <= 0);
}
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore
}
spin_lock_irqsave
qp->valid = 0
spin_unlock_irqrestore
}
Ensure the QP's reference count is maintained and its validity is checked
within the timer callbacks by adding calls to rxe_get(qp) and corresponding
rxe_put(qp) after use. |

net/mlx5e: Fix deadlocks between devlink and netdev instance locks
In the mentioned "Fixes" commit, various work tasks triggering devlink
health reporter recovery were switched to use netdev_trylock to protect
against concurrent tear down of the channels being recovered. But this
had the side effect of introducing potential deadlocks because of
incorrect lock ordering.
The correct lock order is described by the init flow:
probe_one -> mlx5_init_one (acquires devlink lock)
-> mlx5_init_one_devl_locked -> mlx5_register_device
-> mlx5_rescan_drivers_locked -...-> mlx5e_probe -> _mlx5e_probe
-> register_netdev (acquires rtnl lock)
-> register_netdevice (acquires netdev lock)
=> devlink lock -> rtnl lock -> netdev lock.
But in the current recovery flow, the order is wrong:
mlx5e_tx_err_cqe_work (acquires netdev lock)
-> mlx5e_reporter_tx_err_cqe -> mlx5e_health_report
-> devlink_health_report (acquires devlink lock => boom!)
-> devlink_health_reporter_recover
-> mlx5e_tx_reporter_recover -> mlx5e_tx_reporter_recover_from_ctx
-> mlx5e_tx_reporter_err_cqe_recover
The same pattern exists in:
mlx5e_reporter_rx_timeout
mlx5e_reporter_tx_ptpsq_unhealthy
mlx5e_reporter_tx_timeout
Fix these by moving the netdev_trylock calls from the work handlers
lower in the call stack, in the respective recovery functions, where
they are actually necessary. |

power: supply: pf1550: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.
This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with
a freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or
otherwise silently corrupts the memory...
Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during
`probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering
the `power_supply` handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation
of using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in
`power_supply_changed()`.
Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_
the registration of the `power_supply` handle. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix ip_rt_bug race in icmp_route_lookup reverse path
icmp_route_lookup() performs multiple route lookups to find a suitable
route for sending ICMP error messages, with special handling for XFRM
(IPsec) policies.
The lookup sequence is:
1. First, lookup output route for ICMP reply (dst = original src)
2. Pass through xfrm_lookup() for policy check
3. If blocked (-EPERM) or dst is not local, enter "reverse path"
4. In reverse path, call xfrm_decode_session_reverse() to get fl4_dec
which reverses the original packet's flow (saddr<->daddr swapped)
5. If fl4_dec.saddr is local (we are the original destination), use
__ip_route_output_key() for output route lookup
6. If fl4_dec.saddr is NOT local (we are a forwarding node), use
ip_route_input() to simulate the reverse packet's input path
7. Finally, pass rt2 through xfrm_lookup() with XFRM_LOOKUP_ICMP flag
The bug occurs in step 6: ip_route_input() is called with fl4_dec.daddr
(original packet's source) as destination. If this address becomes local
between the initial check and ip_route_input() call (e.g., due to
concurrent "ip addr add"), ip_route_input() returns a LOCAL route with
dst.output set to ip_rt_bug.
This route is then used for ICMP output, causing dst_output() to call
ip_rt_bug(), triggering a WARN_ON:

Fix this by checking rt2->rt_type after ip_route_input(). If it's

powerpc/eeh: fix recursive pci_lock_rescan_remove locking in EEH event handling
The recent commit 1010b4c012b0 ("powerpc/eeh: Make EEH driver device
hotplug safe") restructured the EEH driver to improve synchronization
with the PCI hotplug layer.
However, it inadvertently moved pci_lock_rescan_remove() outside its
intended scope in eeh_handle_normal_event(), leading to broken PCI
error reporting and improper EEH event triggering. Specifically,
eeh_handle_normal_event() acquired pci_lock_rescan_remove() before
calling eeh_pe_bus_get(), but eeh_pe_bus_get() itself attempts to
acquire the same lock internally, causing nested locking and disrupting
normal EEH event handling paths.
This patch adds a boolean parameter do_lock to _eeh_pe_bus_get(),
with two public wrappers:
eeh_pe_bus_get() with locking enabled.
eeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() that skips locking.
Callers that already hold pci_lock_rescan_remove() now use
eeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() to avoid recursive lock acquisition.
Additionally, pci_lock_rescan_remove() calls are restored to the correct
position—after eeh_pe_bus_get() and immediately before iterating affected
PEs and devices. This ensures EEH-triggered PCI removes occur under proper
bus rescan locking without recursive lock contention.
The eeh_pe_loc_get() function has been split into two functions:
eeh_pe_loc_get(struct eeh_pe *pe) which retrieves the loc for given PE.
eeh_pe_loc_get_bus(struct pci_bus *bus) which retrieves the location
code for given bus.
This resolves lockdep warnings such as:

bpf: Fix memory access flags in helper prototypes
After commit 37cce22dbd51 ("bpf: verifier: Refactor helper access type tracking"),
the verifier started relying on the access type flags in helper
function prototypes to perform memory access optimizations.
Currently, several helper functions utilizing ARG_PTR_TO_MEM lack the
corresponding MEM_RDONLY or MEM_WRITE flags. This omission causes the
verifier to incorrectly assume that the buffer contents are unchanged
across the helper call. Consequently, the verifier may optimize away
subsequent reads based on this wrong assumption, leading to correctness
issues.
For bpf_get_stack_proto_raw_tp, the original MEM_RDONLY was incorrect
since the helper writes to the buffer. Change it to ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM
which correctly indicates write access to potentially uninitialized memory.
Similar issues were recently addressed for specific helpers in commit
ac44dcc788b9 ("bpf: Fix verifier assumptions of bpf_d_path's output buffer")
and commit 2eb7648558a7 ("bpf: Specify access type of bpf_sysctl_get_name args").
Fix these prototypes by adding the correct memory access flags. |

power: supply: bq256xx: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.
This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with

It causes circular lock dependency between commit_mutex, nfnl_subsys_ipset

rule run at the same time.
Previous patches made it safe to run individual reset handlers concurrently

crypto: caam - fix netdev memory leak in dpaa2_caam_probe
When commit 0e1a4d427f58 ("crypto: caam: Unembed net_dev structure in
dpaa2") converted embedded net_device to dynamically allocated pointers,
it added cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_disable() but missed adding cleanup in
dpaa2_dpseci_free() for error paths.
This causes memory leaks when dpaa2_dpseci_dpio_setup() fails during probe
due to DPIO devices not being ready yet. The kernel's deferred probe
mechanism handles the retry successfully, but the netdevs allocated during
the failed probe attempt are never freed, resulting in kmemleak reports
showing multiple leaked netdev-related allocations all traced back to
dpaa2_caam_probe().
Fix this by preserving the CPU mask of allocated netdevs during setup and
using it for cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_free(). This approach ensures that
only the CPUs that actually had netdevs allocated will be cleaned up,
avoiding potential issues with CPU hotplug scenarios. |

ext4: drop extent cache when splitting extent fails

[] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_intel_dg.c:750:15
[] index 0 is out of range for type '<unknown> [*]'
Fix it by also fixing an undesired behavior: the loop silently ignores
ENOMEM and continues setting the other entries. |

xen-netback: reject zero-queue configuration from guest
A malicious or buggy Xen guest can write "0" to the xenbus key
"multi-queue-num-queues". The connect() function in the backend only
validates the upper bound (requested_num_queues > xenvif_max_queues)
but not zero, allowing requested_num_queues=0 to reach
vzalloc(array_size(0, sizeof(struct xenvif_queue))), which triggers
WARN_ON_ONCE(!size) in __vmalloc_node_range().
On systems with panic_on_warn=1, this allows a guest-to-host denial
of service.
The Xen network interface specification requires
the queue count to be "greater than zero".
Add a zero check to match the validation already present
in xen-blkback, which has included this
guard since its multi-queue support was added. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1: fix memory leak in raid1_run()
raid1_run() calls setup_conf() which registers a thread via
md_register_thread(). If raid1_set_limits() fails, the previously
registered thread is not unregistered, resulting in a memory leak
of the md_thread structure and the thread resource itself.
Add md_unregister_thread() to the error path to properly cleanup
the thread, which aligns with the error handling logic of other paths
in this function.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review. |

bpf: Fix bpf_xdp_store_bytes proto for read-only arg
While making some maps in Cilium read-only from the BPF side, we noticed
that the bpf_xdp_store_bytes proto is incorrect. In particular, the
verifier was throwing the following error:
; ret = ctx_store_bytes(ctx, l3_off + offsetof(struct iphdr, saddr),
&nat->address, 4, 0);
635: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -144) ; R1=ctx() R10=fp0 fp-144=ctx()
636: (b4) w2 = 26 ; R2=26
637: (b4) w4 = 4 ; R4=4
638: (b4) w5 = 0 ; R5=0
639: (85) call bpf_xdp_store_bytes#190
write into map forbidden, value_size=6 off=0 size=4
nat comes from a BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG map, so R3 is a PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
The verifier checks the helper's memory access to R3 in
check_mem_size_reg, as it reaches ARG_CONST_SIZE argument. The third
argument has expected type ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, which includes the
MEM_WRITE flag. The verifier thus checks for a BPF_WRITE access on R3.
Given R3 points to a read-only map, the check fails.
Conversely, ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM can also lead to the helper reading
from uninitialized memory.
This patch simply fixes the expected argument type to match that of
bpf_skb_store_bytes. |

power: supply: cpcap-battery: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.
This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with
a freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or
otherwise silently corrupts the memory...
Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during
`probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering
the `power_supply` handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation
of using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in
`power_supply_changed()`.
Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_
the registration of the `power_supply` handle. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: avoid per-cpu hold underflow in aa_get_buffer
When aa_get_buffer() pulls from the per-cpu list it unconditionally
decrements cache->hold. If hold reaches 0 while count is still non-zero,
the unsigned decrement wraps to UINT_MAX. This keeps hold non-zero for a
very long time, so aa_put_buffer() never returns buffers to the global
list, which can starve other CPUs and force repeated kmalloc(aa_g_path_max)
allocations.
Guard the decrement so hold never underflows. |
