Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.12.95 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Guard mana_remove against double invocation
If PM resume fails (e.g., mana_attach() returns an error), mana_probe()
calls mana_remove(), which tears down the device and sets
gd->gdma_context = NULL and gd->driver_data = NULL.
However, a failed resume callback does not automatically unbind the
driver. When the device is eventually unbound, mana_remove() is invoked
a second time. Without a NULL check, it dereferences gc->dev with
gc == NULL, causing a kernel panic.
Add an early return if gdma_context or driver_data is NULL so the second
invocation is harmless. Move the dev = gc->dev assignment after the
guard so it cannot dereference NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Wrap DCN32 phantom-plane allocation in DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED
[Why]
dcn32_validate_bandwidth() wraps dcn32_internal_validate_bw() with
DC_FP_START()/DC_FP_END(). In x86 non-RT, DC_FP_START takes fpregs_lock(),
which disables local softirqs.
The DML1 path through dcn32_enable_phantom_plane() calls kvzalloc() to
allocate ~335 KiB for dc_plane_state. This triggers the vmalloc path,
which calls BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) because it's invoked within the
FPU-enabled (softirq disabled) region, leading to a kernel crash.
[How]
Wrap the dc_state_create_phantom_plane() call with the
DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED() macro to allow preemption during
this memory allocation.

I'm using a stripped down version, which seems to trigger the warning
more reliably:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once

umount $mnt
if dmesg | grep -q "WARNING"; then
fail
fi
}
for (( i = 0; i < $runtime; i++ )); do
echo "=== $i/$runtime ==="
workload
done
[CAUSE]
Inside btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction(), we first try to write all
dirty ebs, then wait for them to finish.
After that we call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to free all
extent states from dirty_pages io tree.
However if we hit an error from btrfs_write_marked_extent(), then we
still call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to clear that dirty_pages io
tree, which may contain dirty records that we haven't yet submitted.
Furthermore, the later transaction cleanup path will utilize that
dirty_pages io tree to properly cleanup those dirty ebs, but since it's
already empty, no dirty ebs are properly cleaned up, thus will later
trigger the warnings inside invalidate_btree_folios().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Avoid NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption
Commit 60f030f7418d ("iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE")
fixed a NULL pointer dereference in an unlikely situation partly.
If dev_pasid is not found in the dev_pasids list, it remains NULL.
However, the teardown operations are executed unconditionally, this lead
to a NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption.
If the domain was never attached to this IOMMU, info will be NULL, which
would cause an immediate dereference when checking --info->refcnt.
Even if info is not NULL, decrementing the refcount without having removed
a valid PASID might unbalance the count. This could lead to premature
dropping of the refcount to 0, potentially causing a use-after-free for the
remaining active devices sharing the domain.
Fix it by returning early if dev_pasid is NULL, before executing the
teardown operations.
Issue found by AI review and suggested by Kevin Tian.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Take the SRCU lock for page table walks in fault injection and AT emulation
walk_s1() and kvm_walk_nested_s2() expect to be called while holding
kvm->srcu to guard against memslot changes. While this is generally
the case, __kvm_at_s12() and __kvm_find_s1_desc_level() call into the
respective walkers without taking kvm->srcu.
Fix by acquiring kvm->srcu prior to the table walk in both instances.

rdev->int_scan_req is leaked if cfg80211_scan() fails. Note that it's
supposed to be released at ___cfg80211_scan_done() but this doesn't happen

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Add preempt_{disable,enable}_nested() in reqsk_queue_hash_req().
syzbot reported a weird reqsk->rsk_refcnt underflow in
__inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop().
The captured reqsk_put() in __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop()
is called only when it successfully removes reqsk from ehash.
Moreover, reqsk_timer_handler() calls another reqsk_put()
after that.
This indicates that the reqsk was missing both refcnts for
ehash and the timer itself.
Since all the syzbot reports had PREEMPT_RT enabled, the only
possible scenario is that reqsk_queue_hash_req() is preempted
after mod_timer() and before refcount_set(), and then the timer
triggered after 1s aborts the reqsk due to its listener's close().
Let's wrap mod_timer() and refcount_set() with
preempt_disable_nested() and preempt_enable_nested().
Note that inet_ehash_insert() holds the normal spin_lock()
(mutex in PREEMPT_RT), so it must be called outside of
preempt_disable_nested(), but this is fine.
The lookup path just ignores 0 sk_refcnt entries in ehash
and tries to create another reqsk, but this will fail at
inet_ehash_insert().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate cached peer INIT chunk length in COOKIE_ECHO processing
When a listening SCTP server processes a COOKIE_ECHO chunk, the cached
peer INIT chunk embedded after the cookie is parsed and its parameters
are later walked by sctp_process_init() using sctp_walk_params().
However, the chunk header length of this cached INIT chunk was not
validated against the remaining buffer in the COOKIE_ECHO payload. If
the length field is inflated, the parameter walk can run beyond the
actual received data, leading to out-of-bounds reads and potential
memory corruption during later parameter handling (e.g. STATE_COOKIE
processing and kmemdup() copies).
Add a bounds check in sctp_unpack_cookie() to ensure the cached INIT
chunk length does not exceed the available data in the COOKIE_ECHO
buffer before it is used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: cache csum_start/csum_offset to fix TOCTOU in xsk_skb_metadata()
The TX metadata area resides in the UMEM buffer which is memory-mapped
and concurrently writable by userspace. In xsk_skb_metadata(),
csum_start and csum_offset are read from shared memory for bounds
validation, then read again for skb assignment. A malicious userspace
application can race to overwrite these values between the two reads,
bypassing the bounds check and causing out-of-bounds memory access
during checksum computation in the transmit path.
Fix this by reading csum_start and csum_offset into local variables
once, then using the local copies for both validation and assignment.
Note that other metadata fields (flags, launch_time) and the cached
csum fields may be mutually inconsistent due to concurrent userspace
writes, but this is benign: the only security-critical invariant is
that each field's validated value is the same one used, which local
caching guarantees.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: clean the sfp upstream if phy probing fails
Sashiko reported that we don't call sfp_bus_del_upstream() in the probe
failure path, so let's add it, otherwise the sfp-bus is left with a
dangling 'upstream' field, that may be used later on during SFP events.
This issue existed before the generic phylib sfp support, back when
drivers were calling phy_sfp_probe themselves.
