Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.0 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hsr: Remove WARN_ONCE() in hsr_addr_is_self().
syzbot reported the warning [0] in hsr_addr_is_self(),
whose assumption is simply wrong.
hsr->self_node is cleared in hsr_del_self_node(), which
is called from hsr_dellink().
Since dev->rtnl_link_ops->dellink() is called before
unregister_netdevice_many(), there is a window when
user can find the device but without hsr->self_node.
Let's remove WARN_ONCE() in hsr_addr_is_self().
[0]:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: errata: Mitigate TLBI errata on various Arm CPUs
A number of CPUs developed by Arm suffer from errata whereby a broadcast
TLBI;DSB sequence may complete before the global observation of writes
which are translated by an affected TLB entry.
These errata ONLY affect the completion of memory accesses which have
been translated by an invalidated TLB entry, and these errata DO NOT
affect the actual invalidation of TLB entries. TLB entries are removed
correctly.
This issue has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2025-10263.
To mitigate this issue, Arm recommends that software follows any
affected TLBI;DSB sequence with an additional TLBI;DSB, which will
ensure that all memory write effects affected by the first TLBI have
been globally observed. The additional TLBI can use any operation that
is broadcast to affected CPUs, and the additional DSB can use any option
that is sufficient to complete the additional TLBI.
The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is sufficient to mitigate
the issue. Enable this workaround for affected CPUs, and update the
silicon errata documentation accordingly.
Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata,
some CPUs share a common erratum number.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: rds: clear i_sends on setup unwind
The RDS IB connection teardown path is written so it can run during
partial startup and on repeated shutdown attempts. It uses NULL
pointers to distinguish resources that are still owned from resources
that have already been released.
When rds_ib_setup_qp() fails after allocating i_sends but before
allocating i_recvs, the sends_out path frees i_sends without clearing
the pointer. A later shutdown pass can still treat that stale pointer
as a live send ring allocation.
Clear i_sends after vfree() in the error unwind path so the existing
shutdown logic continues to use the correct ownership state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dying
When marking a page dirty, complain about not having a running/loaded vCPU
if and only if the VM is still alive, i.e. its refcount is non-zero. This
will allow fixing a memory leak for x86 SEV-ES guests without hitting what
is effectively a false positive on the WARN.
For some SEV-ES VM-Exits, KVM keeps a writable mapping of a guest page
across an exit to userspace, and typically unmaps the page on the next
KVM_RUN. But if userspace never calls KVM_RUN after such an exit, then KVM
needs to unmap the page when the vCPU is destroyed, which in turn triggers
the WARN about not having a running vCPU.
Alternatively, SEV-ES could temporarily load the vCPU to suppress the WARN,
as is done in nested_vmx_free_vcpu() (but for completely unrelated reasons;
suppressing WARN from nested_put_vmcs12_pages() is pure happenstance). But
loading a vCPU during destruction is gross (ideally nVMX code would be
cleaned up), risks complicating the SEV-ES code (KVM would need to ensure
the temporarily load()+put() only runs when the vCPU isn't already loaded),
and is ultimately pointless.
The motivation for the WARN is to guard against KVM dirtying guest memory
without pushing the corresponding GFN to the active vCPU's dirty ring, e.g.
to ensure userspace doesn't miss a dirty page. But for the VM's refcount
to reach zero, there can't be _any_ userspace mappings to the dirty ring,
as mapping the dirty ring requires doing mmap() on the vCPU FD. I.e. if
userspace had a valid mapping for the dirty ring, then the vCPU file and
thus the owning VM would still be alive. And so since userspace can't
possibly reach the dirty ring, whether or not KVM technically "misses" a
push to the dirty ring is irrelevant.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
slimbus: qcom-ngd-ctrl: Register callbacks after creating the ngd
When the remoteproc starts in parallel with the NGD driver being probed,
or the remoteproc is already up when the PDR lookup is being registered,
or in the theoretical event that we get an interrupt from the hardware,
these callbacks will operate on uninitialized data. This result in
issues to boot the affected boards.
One such example can be seen in the following fault, where
qcom_slim_ngd_ssr_pdr_notify() schedules work on the NULL ngd_up_work.

Move the enablement of interrupts, and the registration of SSR and PDR
until after the NGD device has been registered.
This could be further refined by moving initialization to the control
driver probe and by removing the platform driver model from the picture.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bonding: fix NULL pointer dereference in bond_do_ioctl()
In bond_do_ioctl(), slave_dev is obtained via __dev_get_by_name() which
can return NULL if the requested interface name does not exist. However,
the subsequent slave_dbg() call is placed before the NULL check:
slave_dev = __dev_get_by_name(net, ifr->ifr_slave);
slave_dbg(bond_dev, slave_dev, "slave_dev=%p:\n", slave_dev); //here
if (!slave_dev)
return -ENODEV;
The slave_dbg() macro expands to netdev_dbg(bond_dev, "(slave %s): " fmt,
(slave_dev)->name, ...) which unconditionally dereferences slave_dev->name
before the NULL check is performed. This results in a NULL pointer
dereference kernel oops when a user calls bonding ioctl (e.g.
SIOCBONDENSLAVE, SIOCBONDRELEASE, etc.) with a non-existent slave
interface name.
This is reachable from userspace via the bonding ioctl interface with
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, making it a potential local denial-of-service
vector.
Fix by moving the slave_dbg() call after the NULL check.

i2c: qcom-cci: Fix NULL pointer dereference in cci_remove()
On all modern platforms Qualcomm CCI controller provides two I2C masters,
and on particular boards only one I2C master may be initialized, and in
such cases the device unbinding or driver removal causes a NULL pointer
dereference, because cci_halt() is called for all two I2C masters, but
a completion is initialized only for the single enabled master:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
debugobjects: Do not fill_pool() if pi_blocked_on
On RT enabled kernels, fill_pool() ends up calling rtlock_lock(), which
asserts if current::pi_blocked_on is set, because a task can obviously only
block on one lock as otherwise the priority inheritenace chain gets
corrupted.
Prevent this by expanding the conditional to take current::pi_blocked_on
into account.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Use krealloc_array() in dal_vector_reserve()
[Why & How]
dal_vector_reserve() computes the allocation size as
"capacity * vector->struct_size" using uint32_t arithmetic, which can
silently wrap to a small value on overflow. This would cause krealloc to
return a smaller buffer than expected, leading to heap overflows on
subsequent vector appends.
Replace krealloc() with krealloc_array() which performs an internal
overflow check and returns NULL on wrap, preventing the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix out-of-bounds read in dp_get_eq_aux_rd_interval()
[Why & How]
The aux_rd_interval array in struct dc_lttpr_caps is declared with
MAX_REPEATER_CNT - 1 (7) elements, indexed 0..6. However, the offset
parameter passed to dp_get_eq_aux_rd_interval() can be as large as
MAX_REPEATER_CNT (8) when a sink reports 8 LTTPR repeaters via DPCD.
This leads to an out-of-bounds read of aux_rd_interval[7] when offset
is 8.
Fix this by growing aux_rd_interval to MAX_REPEATER_CNT elements to
accommodate the full range of valid repeater counts defined by the DP
spec.
