In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mlx5: Fix memory leak in GET_DATA_DIRECT_SYSFS_PATH handler The UVERBS_HANDLER(MLX5_IB_METHOD_GET_DATA_DIRECT_SYSFS_PATH) function allocates memory for the device path using kobject_get_path(). If the length of the device path exceeds the output buffer length, the function returns -ENOSPC but does not free the allocated memory, resulting in a memory leak. Add a kfree() call to the error path to ensure the allocated memor

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: parsers: Fix memory leak in mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_parse() The function mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_parse() allocates buf via mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_read_table(). If the allocation for parts[idx].name fails inside the loop, the code jumps to the err_free label without freeing buf, leading to a memory leak. Fix this by freeing the temporary buffer buf in the err_free label. Compile tested only. Issue found u

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/rt: Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() CPU0 becomes overloaded when hosting a CPU-bound RT task, a non-CPU-bound RT task, and a CFS task stuck in kernel space. When other CPUs switch from RT to non-RT tasks, RT load balancing (LB) is triggered; with HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI enabled, they send IPIs to CPU0 to drive the execution of rto_push_irq_work_func. During push_rt_task on CPU0, if next_task->prio < rq->donor->pr

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ovpn: tcp - don't deref NULL sk_socket member after tcp_close() When deleting a peer in case of keepalive expiration, the peer is removed from the OpenVPN hashtable and is temporary inserted in a "release list" for further processing. This happens in: ovpn_peer_keepalive_work() unlock_ovpn(release_list) This processing includes detaching from the socket being used to talk to this peer, by restoring its original proto and s

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvs: do not keep dest_dst if dev is going down There is race between the netdev notifier ip_vs_dst_event() and the code that caches dst with dev that is going down. As the FIB can be notified for the closed device after our handler finishes, it is possible valid route to be returned and cached resuling in a leaked dev reference until the dest is not removed. To prevent new dest_dst to be attached to dest just after the handl

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fat: avoid parent link count underflow in rmdir Corrupted FAT images can leave a directory inode with an incorrect i_nlink (e.g. 2 even though subdirectories exist). rmdir then unconditionally calls drop_nlink(dir) and can drive i_nlink to 0, triggering the WARN_ON in drop_nlink(). Add a sanity check in vfat_rmdir() and msdos_rmdir(): only drop the parent link count when it is at least 3, otherwise report a filesystem error.

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, tha

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-dis

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: cdns3: fix role switching during resume If the role change while we are suspended, the cdns3 driver switches to the new mode during resume. However, switching to host mode in this context causes a NULL pointer dereference. The host role's start() operation registers a xhci-hcd device, but its probe is deferred while we are in the resume path. The host role's resume() operation assumes the xhci-hcd device is already probe

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/amdxdna: Fix memory leak in amdxdna_ubuf_map The amdxdna_ubuf_map() function allocates memory for sg and internal sg table structures, but it fails to free them if subsequent operations (sg_alloc_table_from_pages or dma_map_sgtable) fail.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: 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: pro

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 rev

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: 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 trigger

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: 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

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: drop extent cache when splitting extent fails When the split extent fails, we might leave some extents still being processed and return an error directly, which will result in stale extent entries remaining in the extent status tree. So drop all of the remaining potentially stale extents if the splitting fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: quota: fix livelock between quotactl and freeze_super When a filesystem is frozen, quotactl_block() enters a retry loop waiting for the filesystem to thaw. It acquires s_umount, checks the freeze state, drops s_umount and uses sb_start_write() - sb_end_write() pair to wait for the unfreeze. However, this retry loop can trigger a livelock issue, specifically on kernels with preemption disabled. The mechanism is as follows: 1.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: drop extent cache after doing PARTIAL_VALID1 zeroout When splitting an unwritten extent in the middle and converting it to initialized in ext4_split_extent() with the EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT and EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID2 flags set, it could leave a stale unwritten extent. Assume we have an unwritten file and buffered write in the middle of it without dioread_nolock enabled, it will allocate blocks as written extent. 0

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: 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().
