| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: include MAY_WRITE in open permission mask for O_TRUNC
POSIX requires write permission to truncate a file, so an open() that
specifies O_TRUNC must be authorized for write access regardless of the
O_ACCMODE access mode.
nfs_open_permission_mask() builds the access mask passed to
nfs_may_open(), which is the local authorization gate for OPENs the
client serves itself from a cached write delegation via the
can_open_delegated() path in nfs4_try_open_cached(). The mask is
derived from O_ACCMODE alone, so an open(O_RDONLY | O_TRUNC) against a
file the caller cannot write requests only MAY_READ and passes the
local check. The OPEN is then satisfied locally and the truncation is
issued to the server as a SETATTR(size=0) over the delegation stateid,
which the server accepts under standard write-delegation semantics.
POSIX requires that this open fail with EACCES.
Include MAY_WRITE in the mask whenever O_TRUNC is set so the local
check matches the access the server would have enforced. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
module: decompress: check return value of module_extend_max_pages()
module_extend_max_pages() calls kvrealloc() internally and returns
-ENOMEM on allocation failure. The return value is never checked.
If the initial allocation fails, info->pages remains NULL and
info->max_pages remains 0. Subsequent calls to module_get_next_page()
will attempt to dynamically grow the array by calling
module_extend_max_pages(info, 0) since info->used_pages is 0. This
results in kvrealloc(NULL, 0) returning ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which is treated
as a success, leading to a dereference of ZERO_SIZE_PTR and a kernel
oops.
Fix: add the missing error check after module_extend_max_pages() and
return immediately on failure. This matches the pattern used by every
other kvrealloc() caller in the module loading path.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: bound uniname advance in exfat_find_dir_entry()
In exfat_find_dir_entry(), each TYPE_EXTEND (file name) entry advances the
output pointer by a fixed amount while the loop guard only tracks the
accumulated name length:
if (++order == 2)
uniname = p_uniname->name;
else
uniname += EXFAT_FILE_NAME_LEN;
len = exfat_extract_uni_name(ep, entry_uniname);
name_len += len;
unichar = *(uniname+len);
*(uniname+len) = 0x0;
uniname grows by EXFAT_FILE_NAME_LEN (15) per name entry, but name_len
grows only by the actual extracted length, which is shorter when a name
fragment contains an early NUL. The only guard is
`name_len >= MAX_NAME_LENGTH`, so a crafted directory with many short
name fragments lets uniname run far past the
p_uniname->name[MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 3] buffer while name_len stays small,
causing an out-of-bounds read and write at *(uniname+len).
The sibling extractor exfat_get_uniname_from_ext_entry() already stops
on a short fragment (the lockstep `len != EXFAT_FILE_NAME_LEN` guard
added in commit d42334578eba ("exfat: check if filename entries exceeds
max filename length")); exfat_find_dir_entry() never got the
equivalent. Track the per-entry write offset as a count and reject a
fragment once the offset, or the offset plus the extracted length, would
exceed MAX_NAME_LENGTH, before forming the output pointer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: page_ext: add count limit to page_ext_iter_next to prevent invalid PFN access
The page_ext iteration API does not validate if the PFN still belongs to a
valid section while advancing the iterator. When dynamically adding
memory in the hotplug path, it can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
during page_ext_lookup at the boundary of the last valid section when
iterator count equals __pgcount.
The for_each_page_ext() macro calls page_ext_iter_next() as its loop
increment. for_each_page_ext() does a "__page_ext =
page_ext_iter_next(&__iter)" at the end. This causes page_ext_iter_next()
to increment iter->index past __pgcount and call page_ext_lookup(start_pfn
+ __pgcount). During memory hotplug (online), the PFN at start_pfn +
__pgcount may belong to a section that has not yet been initialized,
causing page_ext_lookup() to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: do file ownership checks with the proper mount idmap
Ever since idmapped mounts were introduced, inode ownership checks (for
side-channel protection) in mincore() and madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) were done
against the nop_mnt_idmap, which completely ignores the file's mount's
idmap. This results in odd edgecases like:
1) mount/bind-mount with an idmap userA:userB:1
2) userB runs an owner_or_capable() check on file that is owned by userA
on-disk/in-memory, but owned by userB after idmap translation
3) owner_or_capable() mysteriously fails as the correct idmap wasn't supplied
In the case of mincore/madvise MADV_PAGEOUT, this is usually benign,
because file_permission(file, MAY_WRITE) will probably succeed, as it uses
the proper idmap internally, but it does not need to be the case on e.g a
0444 file where even the owner itself doesn't have permissions to write to
it.
Since this is clearly not trivial to get right, introduce a
file_owner_or_capable() that can carry the correct semantics, and switch
the various users in mm to it.
The issue was found by manual code inspection & an off-list discussion
with Jan Kara. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Use sizeof(*hdr) instead of sizeof(hdr) in veventq read
The bound-check in iommufd_veventq_fops_read() for the normal vEVENT
path uses sizeof(hdr) where the surrounding code uses sizeof(*hdr):
if (!vevent_for_lost_events_header(cur) &&
sizeof(hdr) + cur->data_len > count - done) {
hdr is declared as struct iommufd_vevent_header *, so sizeof(hdr)
evaluates to the size of the pointer. Surrounding code uses
sizeof(*hdr) consistently:
if (done >= count || sizeof(*hdr) > count - done) {
...
if (copy_to_user(buf + done, hdr, sizeof(*hdr))) {
...
done += sizeof(*hdr);
struct iommufd_vevent_header is currently 8 bytes (two __u32 fields,
flags and sequence), so on 64-bit (sizeof(void *) == 8) the two
expressions happen to be equal and the check works as intended.
On 32-bit (sizeof(void *) == 4) the check under-counts the header by
4 bytes: a vEVENT whose data_len causes 8 + cur->data_len to exceed
count - done while 4 + cur->data_len does not will pass the check,
then the loop will copy_to_user 8 bytes of header followed by data_len
bytes of payload, writing past the user-supplied buffer.
It is also a latent bug for any future expansion of struct
iommufd_vevent_header beyond sizeof(void *) on 64-bit; the check
should not depend on the type happening to match the host pointer
width.
Use sizeof(*hdr) to match the rest of the function and the actual
amount that will be copied. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Move vevent memory allocation outside spinlock
The veventq memory allocation happens inside the spinlock. Given its depth
is decided by the user space, this leaves a vulnerability, where userspace
can allocate large queues to exhaust atomic memory reserves.
Move the allocation outside the spinlock and use GFP_NOWAIT, which can fail
fast under memory pressure without dipping into the GFP_ATOMIC reserves or
direct-reclaiming from the threaded IRQ handler. On allocation failure,
queue the lost_events_header (so userspace learns of the drop) and return
-ENOMEM so the caller learns of the kernel-side memory pressure.
This is intentionally distinct from the queue-overflow path, which also
queues the lost_events_header but returns 0: a full queue is an expected
userspace-pacing condition rather than a kernel error.
A subsequent change will cap the upper bound of the veventq_depth. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Set veventq_depth upper bound
iommufd_veventq_alloc() accepts any !0 veventq_depth from userspace, with
an upper bound at U32_MAX.
This leaves a vulnerability where userspace can allocate excessively large
queues to exhaust kernel memory reserves.
Cap the veventq_depth (maximum number of entries) to 1 << 19, matching the
maximum number of entries in the SMMUv3 EVTQ (the largest use case today). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Break the loop on failure in iommufd_fault_fops_read()
On a copy_to_user() failure inside the inner list_for_each_entry, only the
inner loop breaks; the outer while re-fetches the just-restored fault group
and retries the failing copy_to_user() forever, spinning the reader at 100%
CPU with fault->mutex held.
Check rc after the inner loop and break the outer while as well. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Set upper bounds on cache invalidation entry_num and entry_len
iommufd_hwpt_invalidate() takes a user-controlled entry_num and entry_len,
each bounded only by U32_MAX. An entry_len beyond the kernel's struct size
makes the copy helper verify the extra bytes are zero, scanning that excess
in one uninterruptible pass; a multi-gigabyte value over zeroed user memory
trips the soft-lockup watchdog.
A large entry_num is the other half, driving the backend invalidation loop
with no reschedule. The VT-d nested handler, for one, copies each entry and
flushes caches per iteration, pinning the CPU on a non-preemptible kernel.
Cap both in the ioctl. entry_len is held under PAGE_SIZE, above any request
struct, and entry_num under 1 << 19, the order of a hardware invalidation
queue and well beyond any real batch, bounding the per-call loop length. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: nv: Avoid dereferencing NULL VNCR pseudo-TLB
VNCR TLB invalidation occurs from MMU notifiers or TLBI instructions,
and either can race against a vcpu not being onlined yet (no pseudo-TLB
allocated). Similarly, the TLB might be invalid, and the invalidation
should be skipped in this case.
Both kvm_invalidate_vncr_ipa() and kvm_invalidate_vncr_va() are
expected to perform the same checks, except that the latter doesn't
check for the allocation and blindly dereferences the pointer.
Solve this by introducing a new iterator built on top of the usual
kvm_for_each_vcpu() that checks for both of the above conditions,
and convert the two users to it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Bound used_lrs when flushing the pKVM hyp vCPU
flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vGIC state into the hyp's private vCPU
on every run. The vGIC list register save and restore use used_lrs as
their loop bound and expect it to stay within the number of implemented
list registers. While this is generally the case, flush_hyp_vcpu()
copies vgic_v3 verbatim and does not enforce this, so a value provided
by the host is used at EL2 to index vgic_lr[] and access ICH_LR<n>_EL2
(host -> EL2).
Fix by clamping used_lrs to the number of implemented list registers
after the copy, as the trusted path already does in
vgic_flush_lr_state(). The number of implemented list registers is
constant after init, so it is replicated once from
kvm_vgic_global_state.nr_lr into hyp_gicv3_nr_lr rather than read on
every entry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Clear __hyp_running_vcpu when flushing the pKVM hyp vCPU
flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vCPU context into the hyp's private
vCPU on every run. ctxt_to_vcpu() expects a guest context to have a
NULL __hyp_running_vcpu, which is only ever set on the host context, so
that it resolves the vCPU via container_of(). While this is generally
the case, flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the context verbatim and does not
enforce this, so a value provided by the host is dereferenced at EL2
(host -> EL2).
Fix by clearing __hyp_running_vcpu after the copy. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SEV: Pin source page for write when adding CPUID data for SNP guest
When populating a guest_memfd instance with the initial CPUID data for an
SNP guest, acquire a writable pin on the source page as KVM will write back
the "correct" CPUID information if the userspace provided data is rejected
by trusted firmware. Because KVM writes to the source page using a kernel
mapping, pinning for read could result in KVM clobbering read-only memory.
Note, well-behaved VMMs are unlikely to be affected, as CPUID information
is almost always dynamically generated by userspace, i.e. it's unlikely for
the CPUID information to be backed by a read-only mapping.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Ensure vendor's exit handler runs before fastpath userspace exits
Move the handling of fastpath userspace exits into vendor code to ensure
KVM runs vendor specific operations that need to run before userspace gains
control of the vCPU. E.g. for VMX (and soon to be for SVM as well), KVM
needs to flush the PML buffer prior to exiting to userspace, otherwise any
memory written by the final KVM_RUN might never be flagged as dirty.
Note, waiting to snapshot CR0 and CR3 until svm_handle_exit() is flawed in
general, as that risks consuming stale state in a fastpath handler. That
will be addressed in a future change. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: guest_memfd: Treat memslot binding offset+size as unsigned values
When binding a memslot to a guest_memfd file, treat the offset and size as
unsigned values to fix a bug where the sum of the two can result in a false
negative when checking for overflow against the size of the file. Passing
unsigned values also avoids relying on somewhat obscure checks in other
flows for safety, and tracks the offset and size as they are intended to be
tracked, as unsigned values.
On 64-bit kernels, the number of pages a memslot contains and thus the size
(and offset) of its guest_memfd binding are unsigned 64-bit values. Taking
the offset+size as an loff_t instead of a uoff_t inadvertently converts
the unsigned value to a signed value if the offset and/or size is massive.
Locally storing the offset and size as signed values is benign in and of
itself (though even that is *extremely* difficult to discern), but
operating on their sum is not.
For the offset, KVM explicitly checks against a negative value, which might
seem like a bug as KVM could incorrectly reject a legitimate binding, but
that's not actually the case as KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD takes a signed value
for its size, i.e. a would-be-negative offset is also greater than the
maximum possible size of any guest_memfd file.
Regarding the size, while KVM lacks an explicit check for a negative value,
i.e. seemingly has a flawed overflow check, KVM restricts the number of
pages in a single memslot to the largest positive signed 32-bit value:
if (id < KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS &&
(mem->memory_size >> PAGE_SHIFT) > KVM_MEM_MAX_NR_PAGES)
return -EINVAL;
and so that maximum "size" will ever be is 0x7fffffff000.
The sum of the two is, however, problematic. While the size is restricted
by KVM's memslot logic, the offset is not, i.e. the offset is completely
unchecked until the "offset + size > i_size_read(inode)" check. If the
offset is the (nearly) largest possible _positive_ value, then adding size
to the offset can result in a signed, negative 64-bit value. When compared
against the size of the file (guaranteed to be positive), the negative sum
is always smaller, and KVM incorrectly allows the absurd offset.
Opportunistically add missing includes in kvm_mm.h (instead of relying on
its parents). |

KVM: arm64: Don't leak PFN when kvm_translate_vncr() races MMU notifier
In the case that kvm_translate_vncr() races with an MMU notifier the
early return does not release a reference on the faulted in PFN. Add
the necessary call to kvm_release_faultin_page() for the unused PFN. |

svcrdma: wake sq waiters when the transport closes
Threads parked in svc_rdma_sq_wait() on sc_sq_ticket_wait or
sc_send_wait can hang indefinitely in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
across transport teardown, pinning svc_xprt references and
blocking svc_rdma_free().
The close path sets XPT_CLOSE before invoking xpo_detach and both
wait_event predicates include an XPT_CLOSE term, but the
predicates are re-evaluated only on wakeup. sc_sq_ticket_wait has
no completion-driven wake path; it is advanced solely by the
chained ticket handoff inside svc_rdma_sq_wait() itself. Without
an explicit wake at close, parked threads never observe
XPT_CLOSE, hold their svc_xprt_get reference forever, and
svc_rdma_free() blocks on xpt_ref dropping to zero.
Two close entry points reach this transport. Local teardown runs
svc_rdma_detach() from svc_handle_xprt() -> svc_delete_xprt() ->
xpo_detach() on a worker thread. A remote disconnect arrives at
svc_rdma_cma_handler(), which calls svc_xprt_deferred_close():
that sets XPT_CLOSE and enqueues the transport but does not
access either RDMA waitqueue, so a worker already parked in
svc_rdma_sq_wait() never re-evaluates its predicate. With every
worker parked on this transport, no thread is available to run
the local teardown either, and the wake site there is
unreachable.
Introduce svc_rdma_xprt_deferred_close(), a thin svcrdma wrapper
that calls svc_xprt_deferred_close() and then wakes both
sc_sq_ticket_wait and sc_send_wait. Convert the svcrdma producers
that called svc_xprt_deferred_close() directly:
svc_rdma_cma_handler(), qp_event_handler(),
svc_rdma_post_send_err(), svc_rdma_wc_send(), the sendto drop
path, the rw completion error paths, and the recvfrom flush and
read-list error paths.
Wake both waitqueues from svc_rdma_detach() as well. The
synchronous svc_xprt_close() path (backchannel ENOTCONN, device
removal via svc_rdma_xprt_done) reaches detach without flowing
through svc_xprt_deferred_close() and therefore does not invoke
the new helper.
[ cel: add svc_rdma_xprt_deferred_close() to complete the fix ] |

fpga: dfl-afu: validate DMA mapping length in afu_dma_map_region()
afu_ioctl_dma_map() accepts a 64-bit length from userspace via
DFL_FPGA_PORT_DMA_MAP ioctl without an upper bound check. The value
is passed to afu_dma_pin_pages() where npages is derived as
length >> PAGE_SHIFT and passed to pin_user_pages_fast() which takes
int nr_pages, causing implicit truncation if length is very large.
Validate map.length at the ioctl entry point before calling
afu_dma_map_region(), rejecting values whose page count exceeds
INT_MAX. |

i2c: core: fix adapter deregistration race
Adapters can be looked up by their id using i2c_get_adapter() which
takes a reference to the embedded struct device.

deregistration (and on registration failure) to make sure its resources
are not accessed after having been freed (e.g. the device name). |
