Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.15.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: clear intr_entry in fuse_resend and fuse_remove_pending_req
When fuse_resend() moves a request from fpq->processing back to
fiq->pending, it sets FR_PENDING and clears FR_SENT but does not
remove the requests intr_entry from fiq->interrupts. If the
request had FR_INTERRUPTED set from a prior signal, intr_entry
remains dangling on fiq->interrupts. When the requesting task
then receives a fatal signal, fuse_remove_pending_req() sees
FR_PENDING=1, removes the request from fiq->pending and frees it
via the refcount path, also without cleaning intr_entry. The
stale intr_entry causes use-after-free when fuse_read_interrupt()
iterates fiq->interrupts:
- list_del_init(&req->intr_entry) -> UAF write on freed slab
- req->in.h.unique -> UAF read, data leaked to userspace
Remove intr_entry from fiq->interrupts in fuse_resend() for
interrupted requests before they are placed back on fiq->pending.
Add a WARN_ON if the intr_entry is not empty on request destruction.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: re-lock request before returning from fuse_ref_folio()
fuse_ref_folio() unlocks the request but does not re-lock it before
returning. fuse_chan_abort() can end the request and the async end
callback (eg fuse_writepage_free()) can free the args while the
subsequent copy chain logic after fuse_ref_folio() accesses them,
leading to use-after-free issues.
Fix this by locking the request in fuse_ref_folio() before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: don't wrap around quota ids in dqiterate
LOLLM noticed that q_id is an unsigned 32-bit variable. If it happens
to be set to XFS_DQ_ID_MAX due to a filesystem that actually has a dquot
for ID_MAX, then this addition will truncate to zero and the iteration
starts over. Fix this by casting to u64.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernel/fork: clear PF_BLOCK_TS in copy_process()
PF_BLOCK_TS is only set in blk_time_get_ns() when current->plug is
non-NULL, and blk_finish_plug() clears it via __blk_flush_plug()
before NULLing the plug pointer. copy_process() breaks the
invariant by inheriting PF_BLOCK_TS from the parent while resetting
the child's plug to NULL.
Clear PF_BLOCK_TS alongside that assignment so callers can rely on
"PF_BLOCK_TS set implies current->plug != NULL" and dereference
current->plug unguarded.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NTB: epf: Avoid pci_iounmap() with offset when PEER_SPAD and CONFIG share BAR
When BAR_PEER_SPAD and BAR_CONFIG share one PCI BAR, the module teardown
path ends up calling pci_iounmap() on the same iomem with some offset,
which is unnecessary and triggers a kernel warning like the following:
Trying to vunmap() nonexistent vm area (0000000069a5ffe8)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: validate sta_mask before ffs() in BA session handlers
Three BA session handlers use ffs(ba_data->sta_mask) - 1 to derive a
station ID without checking that sta_mask is non-zero. When sta_mask is
zero, ffs() returns 0 and the subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF, causing
an out-of-bounds access on fw_id_to_link_sta[].
Add WARN_ON_ONCE(!ba_data->sta_mask) guards before each ffs() call,
consistent with the existing check in iwl_mld_ampdu_rx_start().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pwrseq: core: fix use-after-free in pwrseq_debugfs_seq_next()
pwrseq_debugfs_seq_next() declares 'next' with __free(put_device),
which causes put_device() to be called on the returned pointer when
the variable goes out of scope. This results in a use-after-free
since the seq_file framework receives a pointer whose reference has
already been dropped.
Simply removing __free(put_device) would fix the UAF but would leak
the reference acquired by bus_find_next_device(), as stop() only
calls up_read(&pwrseq_sem) and never releases the device reference.
Fix this by making the reference counting consistent across all
seq_file callbacks, matching the standard pattern used by PCI and
SCSI:
- start(): use get_device() so it returns a referenced pointer.
- next(): explicitly put_device(curr) to release the previous
device's reference (no NULL check needed - the seq_file framework
only calls next() while the previous return was non-NULL).
- stop(): put_device(data) to release the last iterated device's
reference, with a NULL guard since stop() may be called with NULL
when start() returned NULL or next() reached end-of-sequence.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: DEC: Prevent initial console buffer from landing in XKPHYS
In 64-bit configurations calling the initial console output handler from
a kernel thread other than the initial one will result in a situation
where the stack has been placed in the XKPHYS 64-bit memory segment and
consequently so has been the buffer allocated there that is used as the
argument corresponding to the `%s' output conversion specifier for the
firmware's printf() entry point.
This 64-bit address will then be truncated by 32-bit firmware, resulting
in an attempt to access the wrong memory location, which in turn will
cause all kinds of unpredictable behaviour, such as a kernel crash:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

>>
In this case the pointer in $4 was truncated from 0x980000000203bd00 to
0x000000000203bd00.
This may happen when no final console driver has been enabled in the
configuration and consequently the initial console continues being used
late into bootstrap or with an upcoming change that will switch the zs
driver to use a platform device, which in turn will make the console
handover happen only after other kernel threads have already been
started.
Fix the issue by making the buffer static and initdata, and therefore
placed in the CKSEG0 32-bit compatibility segment, observing that the
console output handler is called with the console lock held, implying
no need for this code to be reentrant. Add an assertion to verify the
buffer actually has been placed in a compatibility segment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: tps65219: fix irq_data.rdev not being assigned
Commit 64a6b577490c ("regulator: tps65219: Remove debugging helper
function") removed the tps65219_get_rdev_by_name() helper along with
the irq_data.rdev assignment that depended on it. This left
irq_data.rdev uninitialized for all IRQs, causing undefined behavior
when regulator_notifier_call_chain() is called from the IRQ handler:
Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004
pc : regulator_notifier_call_chain
lr : tps65219_regulator_irq_handler

regulator_notifier_call_chain
tps65219_regulator_irq_handler
handle_nested_irq
regmap_irq_thread
irq_thread_fn
irq_thread
kthread
ret_from_fork
Instead of restoring a dedicated lookup array, restructure the probe
function to combine regulator registration with IRQ registration in
the same loop. This way the rdev returned by devm_regulator_register()
is naturally available for assigning to irq_data.rdev without any
auxiliary data structure.
Non-regulator IRQs (SENSOR, TIMEOUT) that don't correspond to any
registered regulator are registered with rdev=NULL, and the IRQ handler
is protected with a NULL check to avoid crashing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dsi: don't dump registers past the mapped region
On DSI 6G platforms the IO address space is internally adjusted by
io_offset. Later this adjusted address might be used for memory dumping.
However the size that is used for memory dumping isn't adjusted to
account for the io_offset, leading to the potential access to the
unmapped region. Lower ctrl_size by the io_offset value to prevent
access past the mapped area.
