CVSS v3.1 |
| Nix is a package manager for Linux and other Unix systems. A bug in the fix for CVE-2024-27297 allowed for arbitrary overwrites of files writable by the Nix process orchestrating the builds (typically the Nix daemon running as root in multi-user installations) by following symlinks during fixed-output derivation output registration. This affects sandboxed Linux builds - sandboxed macOS builds are unaffected. The location of the temporary output used for the output copy was located inside the build chroot. A symlink, pointing to an arbitrary location in the filesystem, could be created by the derivation builder at that path. During output registration, the Nix process (running in the host mount namespace) would follow that symlink and overwrite the destination with the derivation's output contents. In multi-user installations, this allows all users able to submit builds to the Nix daemon (allowed-users - defaulting to all users) to gain root privileges by modifying sensitive files. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.34.5, 2.33.4, 2.32.7, 2.31.4, 2.30.4, 2.29.3, and 2.28.6. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mediatek: vcodec: Use spinlock for context list protection lock
Previously a mutex was added to protect the encoder and decoder context
lists from unexpected changes originating from the SCP IP block, causing
the context pointer to go invalid, resulting in a NULL pointer
dereference in the IPI handler.
Turns out on the MT8173, the VPU IPI handler is called from hard IRQ
context. This causes a big warning from the scheduler. This was first
reported downstream on the ChromeOS kernels, but is also reproducible
on mainline using Fluster with the FFmpeg v4l2m2m decoders. Even though
the actual capture format is not supported, the affected code paths
are triggered.
Since this lock just protects the context list and operations on it are
very fast, it should be OK to switch to a spinlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: ocb: skip rx_no_sta when interface is not joined
ieee80211_ocb_rx_no_sta() assumes a valid channel context, which is only
present after JOIN_OCB.
RX may run before JOIN_OCB is executed, in which case the OCB interface
is not operational. Skip RX peer handling when the interface is not
joined to avoid warnings in the RX path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: netpoll: initialize work queue before error checks
Prevent a kernel warning when netconsole setup fails on devices with
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL flag. The warning (at kernel/workqueue.c:4242 in
__flush_work) occurs because the cleanup path tries to cancel an
uninitialized work queue.
When __netpoll_setup() encounters a device with IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL,
it fails early and calls skb_pool_flush() for cleanup. This function
calls cancel_work_sync(&np->refill_wq), but refill_wq hasn't been
initialized yet, triggering the warning.
Move INIT_WORK() to the beginning of __netpoll_setup(), ensuring the
work queue is properly initialized before any potential failure points.
This allows the cleanup path to safely cancel the work queue regardless
of where the setup fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: fix livelock in synchronous file put from fuseblk workers
I observed a hang when running generic/323 against a fuseblk server.
This test opens a file, initiates a lot of AIO writes to that file
descriptor, and closes the file descriptor before the writes complete.
Unsurprisingly, the AIO exerciser threads are mostly stuck waiting for
responses from the fuseblk server:
# cat /proc/372265/task/372313/stack
[<0>] request_wait_answer+0x1fe/0x2a0 [fuse]
[<0>] __fuse_simple_request+0xd3/0x2b0 [fuse]
[<0>] fuse_do_getattr+0xfc/0x1f0 [fuse]
[<0>] fuse_file_read_iter+0xbe/0x1c0 [fuse]
[<0>] aio_read+0x130/0x1e0
[<0>] io_submit_one+0x542/0x860

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x37/0xf0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
But the /weird/ part is that the fuseblk server threads are waiting for
responses from itself:
# cat /proc/372210/task/372232/stack
[<0>] request_wait_answer+0x1fe/0x2a0 [fuse]
[<0>] __fuse_simple_request+0xd3/0x2b0 [fuse]
[<0>] fuse_file_put+0x9a/0xd0 [fuse]
[<0>] fuse_release+0x36/0x50 [fuse]
[<0>] __fput+0xec/0x2b0
[<0>] task_work_run+0x55/0x90
[<0>] syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0xe9/0x100
[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x43/0xf0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
The fuseblk server is fuse2fs so there's nothing all that exciting in
the server itself. So why is the fuse server calling fuse_file_put?
The commit message for the fstest sheds some light on that:
"By closing the file descriptor before calling io_destroy, you pretty
much guarantee that the last put on the ioctx will be done in interrupt
context (during I/O completion).
Aha. AIO fgets a new struct file from the fd when it queues the ioctx.
The completion of the FUSE_WRITE command from userspace causes the fuse
server to call the AIO completion function. The completion puts the
struct file, queuing a delayed fput to the fuse server task. When the
fuse server task returns to userspace, it has to run the delayed fput,
which in the case of a fuseblk server, it does synchronously.
Sending the FUSE_RELEASE command sychronously from fuse server threads
is a bad idea because a client program can initiate enough simultaneous
AIOs such that all the fuse server threads end up in delayed_fput, and
now there aren't any threads left to handle the queued fuse commands.
Fix this by only using asynchronous fputs when closing files, and leave
a comment explaining why. |

drivers: mcb: fix resource leak in mcb_probe()
When probe hook function failed in mcb_probe(), it doesn't put the device.
Compiled test only. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: refuse to create ea block when umounted
The ea block expansion need to access s_root while it is
already set as NULL when umount is triggered. Refuse this
request to avoid panic. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/sysv: Null check to prevent null-ptr-deref bug
sb_getblk(inode->i_sb, parent) return a null ptr and taking lock on
that leads to the null-ptr-deref bug. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: s5p-mfc: Clear workbit to handle error condition
During error on CLOSE_INSTANCE command, ctx_work_bits was not getting
cleared. During consequent mfc execution NULL pointer dereferencing of
this context led to kernel panic. This patch fixes this issue by making
sure to clear ctx_work_bits always. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: vector: Fix memory leak in vector_config
If the return value of the uml_parse_vector_ifspec function is NULL,
we should call kfree(params) to prevent memory leak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sh: dma: Fix DMA channel offset calculation
Various SoCs of the SH3, SH4 and SH4A family, which use this driver,
feature a differing number of DMA channels, which can be distributed
between up to two DMAC modules. The existing implementation fails to
correctly accommodate for all those variations, resulting in wrong
channel offset calculations and leading to kernel panics.
Rewrite dma_base_addr() in order to properly calculate channel offsets
in a DMAC module. Fix dmaor_read_reg() and dmaor_write_reg(), so that
the correct DMAC module base is selected for the DMAOR register. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: common: Fix refcount leak in parse_dai_link_info
Add missing of_node_put()s before the returns to balance
of_node_get()s and of_node_put()s, which may get unbalanced
in case the for loop 'for_each_available_child_of_node' returns
early. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Add check for kmemdup
Since the kmemdup may return NULL pointer,
it should be better to add check for the return value
in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in mtk_hwlro_get_fdir_all()
rule_locs is allocated in ethtool_get_rxnfc and the size is determined by
rule_cnt from user space. So rule_cnt needs to be check before using
rule_locs to avoid NULL pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: at91-sama5d2_adc: Fix potential use-after-free in sama5d2_adc driver
at91_adc_interrupt can call at91_adc_touch_data_handler function
to start the work by schedule_work(&st->touch_st.workq).
If we remove the module which will call at91_adc_remove to
make cleanup, it will free indio_dev through iio_device_unregister but
quite a bit later. While the work mentioned above will be used. The
sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| at91_adc_workq_handler
at91_adc_remove |
iio_device_unregister(indio_dev) |
//free indio_dev a bit later |
| iio_push_to_buffers(indio_dev)
| //use indio_dev
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in at91_adc_remove. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: stm32: Fix refcount leak in stm32_pctrl_get_irq_domain
of_irq_find_parent() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
We should use of_node_put() on it when not needed anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix iio_chan_spec for sensors without event detection
The st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels array of struct iio_chan_spec has a non-NULL
event_spec field, indicating support for IIO events. However, event
detection is not supported for all sensors, and if userspace tries to
configure accelerometer wakeup events on a sensor device that does not
support them (e.g. LSM6DS0), st_lsm6dsx_write_event() dereferences a NULL
pointer when trying to write to the wakeup register.
Define an additional struct iio_chan_spec array whose members have a NULL
event_spec field, and use this array instead of st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels for
sensors without event detection capability. |

w1: therm: Fix off-by-one buffer overflow in alarms_store
The sysfs buffer passed to alarms_store() is allocated with 'size + 1'
bytes and a NUL terminator is appended. However, the 'size' argument
does not account for this extra byte. The original code then allocated
'size' bytes and used strcpy() to copy 'buf', which always writes one
byte past the allocated buffer since strcpy() copies until the NUL
terminator at index 'size'.
Fix this by parsing the 'buf' parameter directly using simple_strtoll()
without allocating any intermediate memory or string copying. This
removes the overflow while simplifying the code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix missing unmap if z_erofs_get_extent_compressedlen() fails
Otherwise, meta buffers could be leaked. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: stm32-usphyc: Fix off by one in probe()
The "index" variable is used as an index into the usbphyc->phys[] array
which has usbphyc->nphys elements. So if it is equal to usbphyc->nphys
then it is one element out of bounds. The "index" comes from the
device tree so it's data that we trust and it's unlikely to be wrong,
however it's obviously still worth fixing the bug. Change the > to >=. |
