In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: sun8i-ce - Remove crypto_rng interface Since the crypto_rng interface for hardware PRNGs is unused and is redundant with hwrng and the actual Linux RNG, it's being phased out. Most drivers for it were already removed. Go ahead and remove the sun8i-ce support which is one of the only remaining ones. Note that the sun8i-ce support for hwrng remains in place. That is the interface that actually matters. As usual for c

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: sun8i-ss - Remove crypto_rng interface Since the crypto_rng interface for hardware PRNGs is unused and is redundant with hwrng and the actual Linux RNG, it's being phased out. Most drivers for it were already removed. Go ahead and remove the sun8i-ss support which is one of the only remaining ones. As usual for crypto_rng, this driver was also buggy: its ->generate() function had a use-after-free vulnerability due to

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qce - fix CCM AAD buffer underallocation The AAD buffer allocated in qce_aead_ccm_prepare_buf_assoclen() can be smaller than the length later programmed into the DMA scatterlist. The allocation size is currently calculated as: ALIGN(assoclen, 16) + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN while the DMA length is set to: ALIGN(assoclen + adata_header_len, 16) Since ALIGN() does not distribute over addition, the allocation can

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: mxs-dcp - fix source scatterlist length access mxs_dcp_aes_block_crypt() uses sg_dma_len() without mapping the source scatterlist with dma_map_sg() first. Therefore, sg_dma_len() is invalid and could return zero or a stale DMA length, causing encryption and decryption to process the wrong number of bytes when CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH=y. Use the original scatterlist length instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: core: Add lock to usb_wakeup_notification() Add a spin lock to usb_wakeup notification to prevent a race condition with dereferencing freed memory. This could be hit by the xHCI driver as it calls this function from an IRQ and could race with the hub_disconnect() function, which properly grabs this lock to protect the state of the device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in snd_usbmidi_novation_output() snd_usbmidi_novation_output() lays out a two-byte header at transfer_buffer[0..1] and passes &transfer_buffer[2] together with a length of ep->max_transfer - 2 to snd_rawmidi_transmit(): count = snd_rawmidi_transmit(ep->ports[0].substream, &transfer_buffer[2], ep->max_transfer - 2); ep->max_transfer comes from the output endpoint's wMaxPacketS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Complete cleanup after system-resume errors A failed system resume can leave the card unusable until reboot. usb_audio_resume() jumps to err_out when snd_usb_pcm_resume() or snd_usb_mixer_resume() fails. The error path skips the out: block, which restores D0 and decrements chip->num_suspended_intf. The card stays in SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D3hot, so later control access blocks in snd_power_ref_and_wait(). USB core lo

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: serial: option: fix slab OOB read in interrupt URB callback The interrupt URB buffer is allocated in setup_port_interrupt_in() based on the endpoint's wMaxPacketSize: buffer_size = usb_endpoint_maxp(epd); port->interrupt_in_buffer = kmalloc(buffer_size, GFP_KERNEL); When a USB device declares wMaxPacketSize = 8 on its interrupt IN endpoint, the buffer is allocated from kmalloc-8 cache (exactly 8 bytes). If the

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: c67x00: fix use-after-free in c67x00_add_iso_urb() When TD creation fails for the last packet of an isochronous URB, c67x00_add_iso_urb() gives the URB back before updating the endpoint scheduling state. c67x00_giveback_urb() frees the URB private data, and the completion callback may release the final URB reference. The following accesses to urbp->ep_data, urb->interval, and urbp->cnt can therefore use freed memory. Up

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: ensure tx headroom in usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb mt7925_usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb() pushes a TX descriptor and a USB header onto every skb and assumes the headroom for them is already there. That holds for locally generated traffic, where mac80211 reserves hw->extra_tx_headroom, but forwarded frames are sent through ieee80211_8023_xmit(), which does not reserve it. Bridge a wired interface to an mt7925u AP and t

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: usbfs: fix use-after-free of usb_device in usbdev_release() usbdev_release() drops its reference to the struct usb_device before draining the list of completed async URBs, but that drain path reads back through the same object: free_async() calls dec_usb_memory_use_count() for any URB whose buffer came from the usbfs mmap() region, and its first statement is bus_to_hcd(ps->dev->bus). After a disconnect the usbfs referenc

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: st21nfca: validate ATR_REQ length against the received frame st21nfca_tm_recv_atr_req() checks that the received ATR_REQ frame is at least ST21NFCA_ATR_REQ_MIN_SIZE and that the self-declared atr_req->length is at least sizeof(struct st21nfca_atr_req), but never checks that atr_req->length does not exceed the actual received length (skb->len). st21nfca_tm_send_atr_res() then trusts the declared length: gb_len = atr_req

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: mchp-ipc-sbi: Add null check for devm_kasprintf() Add a check to see if devm_kasprintf() is not NULL in mchp_ipc_get_cluster_aggr_irq(), returning -ENOMEM if the function failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: pci-epf: put CQ ref on create_cq mapping failure nvmet_pci_epf_create_cq() calls nvmet_cq_create(), which takes a reference on the controller and installs the completion queue. If the subsequent PCI address-space mapping fails or returns a too-small partial mapping, the function jumps to err_internal / err_unmap_queue without calling nvmet_cq_put(). The matching put in nvmet_pci_epf_delete_cq() is gated on NVMET_PCI_EPF

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: take rfcomm_mutex for the deferred setup accept rfcomm_sock_recvmsg() completes a deferred setup by calling rfcomm_dlc_accept() without holding any RFCOMM lock: if (test_and_clear_bit(RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP, &d->flags)) { rfcomm_dlc_accept(d); return 0; } and rfcomm_dlc_accept() dereferences the session on its first line: struct sock *sk = d->session->sock->sk; Every other path that touches d->session

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix CMD_SYNC use-after-free on teardown arm_smmu_impl_remove() is registered as a devres action in arm_smmu_impl_probe(), before arm_smmu_init_queues() allocates smmu->cmdq.q.base. On a devres unwind, whether a failed probe or an unbind, the queue is freed first and arm_smmu_impl_remove() then runs tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf(), whose VINTF deinit issues a CMD_SYNC on the freed memory. Observed during te

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/iommufd: Fix NULL pointer deref in iommufd_ioas_change_process when racing with iopt_map_file_pages iommufd_ioas_change_process() iterates every IOAS area while only holding every IOAS iova_rwsem, so it assumes every area has a non-NULL pages pointer. That assumption can be false when it runs concurrently with iopt_map_file_pages(). iopt_map_pages() executes in two phases. It first creates the area and inserts it into t

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: FCP: Use a private URB for the notification endpoint fcp_init_notify() used mixer->urb, which snd_usb_mixer_status_create() allocates for the optional UAC2 status interrupt endpoint and mixer.c kills, resubmits and frees. On a device with that endpoint, fcp_init_notify()'s "already set up" early return fires on the status URB and returns success without doing anything. No FCP notification URB is submitted, and cmd_done i
