blk-throttle: fix access race during throttle policy activation
On repeated cold boots we occasionally hit a NULL pointer crash in
blk_should_throtl() when throttling is consulted before the throttle
policy is fully enabled for the queue. Checking only q->td != NULL is
insufficient during early initialization, so blkg_to_pd() for the
throttle policy can still return NULL and blkg_to_tg() becomes NULL,
which later gets dereferenced.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

Tighten blk_throtl_activated() to also require that the throttle policy
bit is set on the queue:
return q->td != NULL &&
test_bit(blkcg_policy_throtl.plid, q->blkcg_pols);
This prevents blk_should_throtl() from accessing throttle group state
until policy data has been attached to blkgs. |

usb: phy: fsl-usb: Fix use-after-free in delayed work during device removal
The delayed work item otg_event is initialized in fsl_otg_conf() and
scheduled under two conditions:
1. When a host controller binds to the OTG controller.
2. When the USB ID pin state changes (cable insertion/removal).
A race condition occurs when the device is removed via fsl_otg_remove():
the fsl_otg instance may be freed while the delayed work is still pending
or executing. This leads to use-after-free when the work function
fsl_otg_event() accesses the already freed memory.
The problematic scenario:
(detach thread) | (delayed work)
fsl_otg_remove() |
kfree(fsl_otg_dev) //FREE| fsl_otg_event()
| og = container_of(...) //USE
| og-> //USE
Fix this by calling disable_delayed_work_sync() in fsl_otg_remove()
before deallocating the fsl_otg structure. This ensures the delayed work
is properly canceled and completes execution prior to memory deallocation.
This bug was identified through static analysis. |

This corresponds to this line of code:
void btrfs_put_transaction(struct btrfs_transaction *transaction)
{
(...)
WARN_ON(!RB_EMPTY_ROOT(
&transaction->delayed_refs.dirty_extent_root));
(...)
}
The warning happens because btrfs_qgroup_destroy_extent_records(), called
in the transaction abort path, we free all entries from the rbtree
"dirty_extent_root" with rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe(), but we
don't actually empty the rbtree - it's still pointing to nodes that were
freed.
So set the rbtree's root node to NULL to avoid this warning (assign
RB_ROOT). |

ALSA: usb-mixer: us16x08: validate meter packet indices
get_meter_levels_from_urb() parses the 64-byte meter packets sent by
the device and fills the per-channel arrays meter_level[],
comp_level[] and master_level[] in struct snd_us16x08_meter_store.
Currently the function derives the channel index directly from the
meter packet (MUB2(meter_urb, s) - 1) and uses it to index those
arrays without validating the range. If the packet contains a
negative or out-of-range channel number, the driver may write past
the end of these arrays.
Introduce a local channel variable and validate it before updating the
arrays. We reject negative indices, limit meter_level[] and
comp_level[] to SND_US16X08_MAX_CHANNELS, and guard master_level[]
updates with ARRAY_SIZE(master_level). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6/sit: use DEV_STATS_INC() to avoid data-races
syzbot/KCSAN reported that multiple cpus are updating dev->stats.tx_error
concurrently.
This is because sit tunnels are NETIF_F_LLTX, meaning their ndo_start_xmit()
is not protected by a spinlock.
While original KCSAN report was about tx path, rx path has the same issue. |

bpf: Fix stackmap overflow check in __bpf_get_stackid()
Syzkaller reported a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write in __bpf_get_stackid()
when copying stack trace data. The issue occurs when the perf trace
contains more stack entries than the stack map bucket can hold,
leading to an out-of-bounds write in the bucket's data array. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix a UAF problem in xattr repair
The xchk_setup_xattr_buf function can allocate a new value buffer, which
means that any reference to ab->value before the call could become a
dangling pointer. Fix this by moving an assignment to after the buffer
setup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: skip lock-range check on equal size to avoid size==0 underflow
When size equals the current i_size (including 0), the code used to call
check_lock_range(filp, i_size, size - 1, WRITE), which computes `size - 1`
and can underflow for size==0. Skip the equal case. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm/fore200e: Fix possible data race in fore200e_open()
Protect access to fore200e->available_cell_rate with rate_mtx lock in the
error handling path of fore200e_open() to prevent a data race.
The field fore200e->available_cell_rate is a shared resource used to track
available bandwidth. It is concurrently accessed by fore200e_open(),
fore200e_close(), and fore200e_change_qos().
In fore200e_open(), the lock rate_mtx is correctly held when subtracting
vcc->qos.txtp.max_pcr from available_cell_rate to reserve bandwidth.
However, if the subsequent call to fore200e_activate_vcin() fails, the
function restores the reserved bandwidth by adding back to
available_cell_rate without holding the lock.
This introduces a race condition because available_cell_rate is a global
device resource shared across all VCCs. If the error path in
fore200e_open() executes concurrently with operations like
fore200e_close() or fore200e_change_qos() on other VCCs, a
read-modify-write race occurs.
Specifically, the error path reads the rate without the lock. If another
CPU acquires the lock and modifies the rate (e.g., releasing bandwidth in
fore200e_close()) between this read and the subsequent write, the error
path will overwrite the concurrent update with a stale value. This results
in incorrect bandwidth accounting. |

RDMA/rxe: Fix the error "trying to register non-static key in rxe_cleanup_task"
In the function rxe_create_qp(), rxe_qp_from_init() is called to
initialize qp, internally things like rxe_init_task are not setup until
rxe_qp_init_req().
If an error occurred before this point then the unwind will call
rxe_cleanup() and eventually to rxe_qp_do_cleanup()/rxe_cleanup_task()
which will oops when trying to access the uninitialized spinlock.
If rxe_init_task is not executed, rxe_cleanup_task will not be called. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen: speed up grant-table reclaim
When a grant entry is still in use by the remote domain, Linux must put
it on a deferred list. Normally, this list is very short, because
the PV network and block protocols expect the backend to unmap the grant
first. However, Qubes OS's GUI protocol is subject to the constraints
of the X Window System, and as such winds up with the frontend unmapping
the window first. As a result, the list can grow very large, resulting
in a massive memory leak and eventual VM freeze.
To partially solve this problem, make the number of entries that the VM
will attempt to free at each iteration tunable. The default is still
10, but it can be overridden via a module parameter.
This is Cc: stable because (when combined with appropriate userspace
changes) it fixes a severe performance and stability problem for Qubes
OS users. |

irqchip/irq-mvebu-gicp: Fix refcount leak in mvebu_gicp_probe

md: fix rcu protection in md_wakeup_thread
We attempted to use RCU to protect the pointer 'thread', but directly
passed the value when calling md_wakeup_thread(). This means that the
RCU pointer has been acquired before rcu_read_lock(), which renders
rcu_read_lock() ineffective and could lead to a use-after-free. |

wifi: rtl818x: rtl8187: Fix potential buffer underflow in rtl8187_rx_cb()
The rtl8187_rx_cb() calculates the rx descriptor header address
by subtracting its size from the skb tail pointer.
However, it does not validate if the received packet
(skb->len from urb->actual_length) is large enough to contain this
header.
If a truncated packet is received, this will lead to a buffer
underflow, reading memory before the start of the skb data area,
and causing a kernel panic.
Add length checks for both rtl8187 and rtl8187b descriptor headers
before attempting to access them, dropping the packet cleanly if the
check fails. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Prevent recursive memory reclaim
Function new_inode() returns a new inode with inode->i_mapping->gfp_mask
set to GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. This value includes the __GFP_FS flag, so
allocations in that address space can recurse into filesystem memory
reclaim. We don't want that to happen because it can consume a
significant amount of stack memory.
Worse than that is that it can also deadlock: for example, in several
places, gfs2_unstuff_dinode() is called inside filesystem transactions.
This calls filemap_grab_folio(), which can allocate a new folio, which
can trigger memory reclaim. If memory reclaim recurses into the
filesystem and starts another transaction, a deadlock will ensue.
To fix these kinds of problems, prevent memory reclaim from recursing
into filesystem code by making sure that the gfp_mask of inode address
spaces doesn't include __GFP_FS.
The "meta" and resource group address spaces were already using GFP_NOFS
as their gfp_mask (which doesn't include __GFP_FS). The default value
of GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE is less restrictive than GFP_NOFS, though. To
avoid being overly limiting, use the default value and only knock off
the __GFP_FS flag. I'm not sure if this will actually make a
difference, but it also shouldn't hurt.
This patch is loosely based on commit ad22c7a043c2 ("xfs: prevent stack
overflows from page cache allocation").
Fixes xfstest generic/273. |
