| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix DATA decrypt vs splice() by copying data to buffer in recvmsg
This improves the fix for CVE-2026-43500.
Fix the pagecache corruption from in-place decryption of a DATA packet
transmitted locally by splice() by getting rid of the packet sharing in the
I/O thread and unconditionally extracting the packet content into a bounce
buffer in which the buffer is decrypted. recvmsg() (or the kernel
equivalent) then copies the data from the bounce buffer to the destination
buffer. The sk_buff then remains unmodified.
This has an additional advantage in that the packet is then arranged in the
buffer with the correct alignment required for the crypto algorithms to
process directly. The performance of the crypto does seem to be a little
faster and, surprisingly, the unencrypted performance doesn't seem to
change much - possibly due to removing complexity from the I/O thread.
Yet another advantage is that the I/O thread doesn't have to copy packets
which would slow down packet distribution, ACK generation, etc..
The buffer belongs to the call and is allocated initially at 2K,
sufficiently large to hold a whole jumbo subpacket, but the buffer will be
increased in size if needed. However, to take this work, MSG_PEEK may
cause a later packet to be decrypted into the buffer, in which case the
earlier one will need re-decrypting for a subsequent recvmsg().
Note that rx_pkt_offset may legitimately see 0 as a valid offset now, so
switch to using USHRT_MAX to indicate an invalid offset.
Note also that I would generally prefer to replace the buffers of the
current sk_buff with a new kmalloc'd buffer of the right size, ditching the
old data and frags as this makes the handling of MSG_PEEK easier and
removes the re-decryption issue, but this looks like quite a complicated
thing to achieve. skb_morph() looks half way to what I want, but I don't
want to have to allocate a new sk_buff. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: fix locking in .getsockopt
Mirror iucv_sock_setsockopt() and wrap the whole switch in
lock_sock()/release_sock(). The pre-existing SO_MSGLIMIT-only lock
becomes redundant and is removed.
Any AF_IUCV HIPER user can potentially crash the kernel by racing
recvmsg() with getsockopt(SO_MSGSIZE): the SO_MSGSIZE arm dereferences
iucv->hs_dev->mtu after iucv_sock_close() (called from the racing
recvmsg()) has set hs_dev to NULL, producing a NULL pointer dereference
oops. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/handshake: Use spin_lock_bh for hn_lock
nvmet_tcp_state_change(), a socket callback that runs in BH context,
can reach handshake_req_cancel() via nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue()
and tls_handshake_cancel(). handshake_req_cancel() acquires
hn->hn_lock with plain spin_lock(). If a process-context thread on
the same CPU holds hn->hn_lock when a softirq invokes the cancel path,
the lock attempt deadlocks. This is the only caller that invokes
tls_handshake_cancel() from BH context; every other consumer calls it
from process context.
Deferring the cancel to process context in the NVMe target is not
straightforward: nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() must call
tls_handshake_cancel() atomically with its state transition to
DISCONNECTING. If the cancel were deferred, the handshake completion
callback could fire in the window before the cancel runs, observe the
unexpected state, and return without dropping its kref on the queue.
Reworking that interlock is considerably more invasive than hardening
the handshake lock. Convert all hn->hn_lock acquisitions from
spin_lock/spin_unlock to spin_lock_bh/spin_unlock_bh so the lock is
never taken with softirqs enabled. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dpll: zl3073x: use __dpll_device_change_ntf() and remove change_work
The change_work was introduced to send device change notifications
from DPLL device callbacks without deadlocking on dpll_lock, since
the callbacks are already invoked under that lock. Now that
__dpll_device_change_ntf() is exported for callers that already
hold dpll_lock, use it directly and remove the change_work
infrastructure entirely.
This eliminates a race condition where change_work could be
re-scheduled after cancel_work_sync() during device teardown,
potentially causing the handler to dereference a freed or NULL
dpll_dev pointer. |
| libtta through 2.3 contains a divide-by-zero vulnerability in tta_decoder_init_get_info() that allows attackers to crash applications by supplying an unvalidated zero sample rate. Attackers can craft a .tta file with a recomputed header CRC32 that triggers SIGFPE, crashing applications including the bundled tta console tool. |
| When an audio channel's buffer needs to be resized, the sound(4) driver checks that the buffer is not memory-mapped and then drops the channel lock to allocate a new buffer. An mmap(2) call on another thread can complete during this window, after which the resize path frees the now-mapped buffer without rechecking.
An unprivileged local user with access to a sound device can exploit this race to trigger a use-after-free in the kernel, potentially escalating privileges. |
| When copying knotes from a parent kqueue to a child, the copy code did not correctly exclude marker knotes (used internally to track list traversal position) before marking them as in-flux and releasing the kqueue lock. If another thread freed a marker while the lock was dropped, the subsequent in-flux decrement operated on freed memory.
An unprivileged local user may be able to exploit these races to escalate privileges. |
| kqueue_fork_copy_knote() indexed into the child's file descriptor table using a knote's file descriptor number without a bounds check. Because the child's table is copied before knotes are transferred, a concurrent thread in the parent could grow the parent's table and register knotes with file descriptor numbers beyond the end of the child's table, causing an out-of-bounds read.
An unprivileged local user may be able to exploit these races to escalate privileges. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-cgroup: fix UAF in __blkcg_rstat_flush()
When multiple blkgs in the same blkcg are released concurrently,
a use-after-free can occur. The race happens when one blkg's
__blkcg_rstat_flush() removes another blkg's iostat entries via
llist_del_all(). The second blkg sees an empty list and proceeds
to free itself while the first is still iterating over its entries.
Move the flush from __blkg_release() (RCU callback) to blkg_release()
(before call_rcu). This ensures the RCU grace period waits for any
concurrent flush's rcu_read_lock() section to complete before freeing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Set gc_in_progress to true in unix_gc().
Igor Ushakov reported that unix_gc() could run with gc_in_progress
being false if the work is scheduled while running:
Thread 1 Thread 2 Thread 3
-------- -------- --------
unix_schedule_gc() unix_schedule_gc()
`- if (!gc_in_progress) `- if (!gc_in_progress)
|- gc_in_progress = true |

`- gc_in_progress = false |
|
unix_gc() <---------------------------------------------'

... /* gc_in_progress == false */

`- gc_in_progress = false
unix_peek_fpl() relies on gc_in_progress not to confuse GC
by MSG_PEEK.
Let's set gc_in_progress to true in unix_gc(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: use chan timer to close channels in cleanup_listen()
l2cap_chan_close() removes the channel from conn->chan_l, which
must be done under conn->lock. cleanup_listen() runs under the
parent sk_lock, so acquiring conn->lock would invert the
established conn->lock -> chan->lock -> sk_lock order.
Instead of calling l2cap_chan_close() directly, schedule
l2cap_chan_timeout with delay 0 to close the channel
asynchronously. The timeout handler already acquires conn->lock
and chan->lock in the correct order.
The timer is only armed when chan->conn is still set: if it is
already NULL, l2cap_conn_del() has already processed this channel
(l2cap_chan_del + l2cap_sock_teardown_cb + l2cap_sock_close_cb),
so there is nothing left to do. If l2cap_conn_del() races in
after the timer is armed, __clear_chan_timer() inside
l2cap_chan_del() cancels it; if the timer has already fired, the
handler returns harmlessly because chan->conn was cleared. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache policy smq: check allocation under invalidate lock
commit 2d1f7b65f5de ("dm cache policy smq: fix missing locks in
invalidating cache blocks") added mq->lock around the destructive part of
smq_invalidate_mapping(), but left the e->allocated check outside the
critical section.
That leaves a check-then-act race. Two concurrent invalidators can both
observe e->allocated as true before either of them takes mq->lock. The
first invalidator that acquires the lock removes the entry from the
queues and hash table and then calls free_entry(), which clears
e->allocated and puts the entry back on the free list. The second
invalidator can then acquire mq->lock and continue with the stale result
of the unlocked check.
This can corrupt the SMQ queues or hash table by deleting an entry that
is no longer on those structures. It can also hit the allocation check in
free_entry() when the same entry is freed again.
Move the allocation check under mq->lock so the predicate and the
destructive operations are serialized by the same lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: PCM: Fix wait queue list corruption in snd_pcm_drain() on linked streams
snd_pcm_drain() uses init_waitqueue_entry which does not clear
entry.prev/next, and add_wait_queue with a conditional
remove_wait_queue that is skipped when to_check is no longer
in the group after concurrent UNLINK. The orphaned wait entry
remains on the unlinked substream sleep queue. On the next
drain iteration, add_wait_queue adds the entry to a new queue
while still linked on the old one, corrupting both lists. A
subsequent wake_up dereferences NULL at the func pointer
(mapped from the spinlock at offset 0 of the misinterpreted
wait_queue_head_t), causing a kernel panic.
Replace init_waitqueue_entry/add_wait_queue/conditional
remove_wait_queue with init_wait_entry/prepare_to_wait/
finish_wait. init_wait_entry clears prev/next via
INIT_LIST_HEAD on each iteration and sets
autoremove_wake_function which auto-removes the entry on
wake-up. finish_wait safely handles both the already-removed
and still-queued cases. |

xfrm: policy: fix use-after-free on inexact bin in xfrm_policy_bysel_ctx()
Fix the race by pruning the bin while still holding xfrm_policy_lock,
before dropping it. Use __xfrm_policy_inexact_prune_bin() directly since
the lock is already held. The wrapper xfrm_policy_inexact_prune_bin()
becomes unused and is removed.

ALSA: timer: Fix UAF at snd_timer_user_params()
At releasing a timer object, e.g. when a userspace timer
(CONFIG_SND_UTIMER) gets closed and snd_timer_free() is called, it
tries to detach the timer instances and release the resources.
However, it's still possible that other in-flight tasks are holding
the timer instance where the to-be-deleted timer object is associated,
and this may lead to racy accesses.
Fortunately, most of ioctls dealing with the timer instance list
already have the protection with register_mutex, and this also avoids
such races. But, SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS isn't protected, hence the
concurrent ioctl may lead to use-after-free.
This patch just adds the guard with register_mutex to protect
snd_timer_user_params() for covering the code path as a quick
workaround. It's no hot-path but rather a rarely issued ioctl, so the
performance penalty doesn't matter. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: update file PMD counter before folio_put()
__split_huge_pmd_locked() updates the file/shmem RSS counter after
dropping the PMD mapping's folio reference. If folio_put() drops the last
reference, mm_counter_file() can later read freed folio state via
folio_test_swapbacked().
Move the counter update before folio_put(). |

drm/gem: Try to fix change_handle ioctl, attempt 4
[airlied: just added some comments on how to reenable]
On-list because the cat is out of the bag and we're clearly not good
enough to figure this out in private. The story thus far:
5e28b7b94408 ("drm: Set old handle to NULL before prime swap in
change_handle") tried to fix a race condition between the gem_close and
gem_change_handle ioctls, but got a few things wrong:
- There's a confusion with the local variable handle, which is actually
the new handle, and so the two-stage trick was actually applied to the
wrong idr slot. 7164d78559b0 ("drm/gem: fix race between
change_handle and handle_delete") tried to fix that by adding yet
another code block, but forgot to add the error handling. Which meant
we now have two paths, both kinda wrong.
- dc366607c41c ("drm: Replace old pointer to new idr") tried to apply
another fix, but inconsistently, again because of the handle confusion
- this would be the right fix (kinda, somewhat, it's a mess) if we'd
do the two-stage approach for the new handle. Except that wasn't the
intent of the original fix.
We also didn't have an igt merged for the original ioctl, which is a big
no-go. This was attempted to address off-list in the original bugfix,
and amd QA people claimed the bug was fixed now. Very clearly that's not
the case. Here's my attempt to sort this out:
- Rename the local variable to new_handle, the old aliasing with
args->handle is just too dangerously confusing.
- Merge the gem obj lookup with the two-stage idr_replace so that we
avoid getting ourselves confused there.
- This means we don't have a surplus temporary reference anymore, only
an inherited from the idr. A concurrent gem_close on the new_handle
could steal that. Fix that with the same two-stage approach
create_tail uses. This is a bit overkill as documented in the comment,
but I also don't trust my ability to understand this all correctly, so
go with the established pattern we have from other ioctls instead for
maximum paranoia.
- Adjust error paths. I've tried to make the error and success paths
common, because they are identical except for which handle is removed
and on which we call idr_replace to (re)install the object again. But
that made things messier to read, so I've left it at the more verbose
version, which unfortunately hides the symmetry in the entire code
flow a bit.
- While at it, also replace the 7 space indent with 1 tab.
And finally, because I flat out don't trust my abilities here at all
anymore:
- Disable the ioctl until we have the igt situation and everything else
sorted out on-list and with full consensus.
v2:
Sashiko noticed that I didn't handle the error path for idr_replace
correctly, it must be checked with IS_ERR_OR_NULL like in
gem_handle_delete. So yeah, definitely should just the existing paths
1:1 because this is endless amounts of tricky.
Also add the Fixes: line for the original ioctl, I forgot that too. |

bpf: Use RCU-safe iteration in dev_map_redirect_multi() SKB path
The DEVMAP_HASH branch in dev_map_redirect_multi() uses
hlist_for_each_entry_safe() to iterate hash buckets, but this function
runs under RCU protection (called from xdp_do_generic_redirect_map()
in softirq context). Concurrent writers (__dev_map_hash_update_elem,
dev_map_hash_delete_elem) modify the list using RCU primitives
(hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_rcu).
hlist_for_each_entry_safe() performs plain pointer dereferences without
rcu_dereference(), missing the acquire barrier needed to pair with
writers' rcu_assign_pointer(). On weakly-ordered architectures (ARM64,
POWER), a reader can observe a partially-constructed node. It also
defeats CONFIG_PROVE_RCU lockdep validation and KCSAN data-race
detection.
Replace with hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() using rcu_read_lock_bh_held()
as the lockdep condition, consistent with the rcu_dereference_check()
used in the DEVMAP (non-hash) branch of the same functions. Also fix
the same incorrect lockdep_is_held(&dtab->index_lock) condition in
dev_map_enqueue_multi(), where the lock is not held either. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix locking in hci_conn_request_evt() with HCI_PROTO_DEFER
When protocol sets HCI_PROTO_DEFER, hci_conn_request_evt() calls
hci_connect_cfm(conn) without hdev->lock. Generally hci_connect_cfm()
assumes it is held, and if conn is deleted concurrently -> UAF.
Only SCO and ISO set HCI_PROTO_DEFER and only for defer setup listen,
and HCI_EV_CONN_REQUEST is not generated for ISO. In the non-deferred
listening socket code paths, hci_connect_cfm(conn) is called with
hdev->lock held.
Fix by holding the lock. |

dm cache policy smq: fix missing locks in invalidating cache blocks
In passthrough mode, the policy invalidate_mapping operation is called
simultaneously from multiple workers, thus it should be protected by a
lock. Otherwise, we might end up with data races on the allocated blocks
counter, or even use-after-free issues with internal data structures
when doing concurrent writes.
Note that the existing FIXME in smq_invalidate_mapping() doesn't affect
passthrough mode since migration tasks don't exist there, but would need
attention if supporting fast device shrinking via suspend/resume without
target reloading.
Reproduce steps:
1. Create a cache device consisting of 1024 cache entries
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 262144 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 262144 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
2. Populate the cache, and record the number of cached blocks
fio --name=populate --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --rw=randwrite --bs=4k \
--size=64m --direct=1
nr_cached=$(dmsetup status cache | awk '{split($7, a, "/"); print a[1]}')
3. Reload the cache into passthrough mode
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup reload cache --table "0 262144 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 passthrough smq 0"
dmsetup resume cache
4. Write to the passthrough cache. By setting multiple jobs with I/O
size equal to the cache block size, cache blocks are invalidated
concurrently from different workers.
fio --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --name=test --rw=randwrite --bs=64k \
--direct=1 --numjobs=2 --randrepeat=0 --size=64m
5. Check if demoted matches cached block count. These numbers should
match but may differ due to the data race.
nr_demoted=$(dmsetup status cache | awk '{print $12}')
echo "$nr_cached, $nr_demoted" |
