| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd, nfsd: RCU-protect nlmsvc_ops dispatch
nlmsvc_ops is published by nfsd_lockd_init() and cleared by
nfsd_lockd_shutdown() with plain stores, while lockd dereferences
it unguarded from dispatch sites in fs/lockd/svcsubs.c. The pointer
targets nfsd's .rodata and the fopen/fclose callbacks live in nfsd's
.text, so a stale load after rmmod nfsd results in either a NULL
deref or a module-text use-after-free.
Declare nlmsvc_ops as __rcu, publish via rcu_assign_pointer(), clear
via RCU_INIT_POINTER() + synchronize_rcu(). Add a struct module
*owner field to nlmsvc_binding and pin the module across indirect
calls with try_module_get/module_put. When the binding is torn down,
fall back to fput() to avoid leaking struct file references. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix BUG_ON in nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid on racing delegation revoke
nfsd4_alloc_layout_stateid reads fp->fi_deleg_file without holding
fi_lock when the parent stateid is a delegation. A concurrent delegation
revoke via the laundromat can clear fi_deleg_file under fi_lock, causing
nfsd_file_get() to return NULL and triggering the BUG_ON.
This race is client-reachable: two NFS clients can trigger it by having
one hold a delegation while another opens the same file to force a
recall. When the first client doesn't respond to the recall, the
laundromat revokes it. A concurrent LAYOUTGET from any client using the
delegation stateid hits the race window.
Fix this by taking fi_lock around the fi_deleg_file read in the
SC_TYPE_DELEG path, matching the locking discipline of the
find_any_file() arm, and replacing the BUG_ON with a graceful error
return that cleans up the partially-initialized layout stateid. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix null dereference in nfsd4_setattr for deleg timestamp attrs
When a SETATTR request includes FATTR4_WORD2_TIME_DELEG_ACCESS or
FATTR4_WORD2_TIME_DELEG_MODIFY in the attribute bitmap, nfsd4_setattr()
sets deleg_attrs=true and calls nfs4_preprocess_stateid_op() to validate
the stateid.
If the client supplies the NFSv4 "one stateid" (all-0xFF bytes),
check_special_stateids() returns nfs_ok without populating the output
nfs4_stid pointer, because the special-stateid path in
nfs4_preprocess_stateid_op() jumps to done: with s==NULL, and the
"if (s)" block that would set *cstid is skipped. The local variable `st`
remains NULL.
Back in nfsd4_setattr(), the if (deleg_attrs) block then unconditionally
dereferences st->sc_type (at offset 4 from NULL), causing a kernel oops.
This is remotely triggerable by any NFSv4 client: send COMPOUND [PUTROOTFH,
SETATTR(ONE_STATEID, {bmval2=FATTR4_WORD2_TIME_DELEG_ACCESS, ...})].
No authentication, delegation, or prior state is required.
Fix by adding a NULL check before the dereference. A special stateid is
not a delegation stateid, so the existing nfserr_bad_stateid return value
is already correct; we only need to guard the pointer dereference itself. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, x86: Fix per-CPU address resolution into an extended register
The destination of the per-CPU address MOV is encoded in ModRM.reg,
which is extended by REX.R, but the REX prefix is built with
add_1mod(), which sets REX.B. REX.B extends ModRM.rm and SIB.base, and
this instruction addresses memory as disp32 with no base, so the bit
has no effect at all and the high register bit is simply lost.
Every is_ereg() destination therefore resolves to the wrong register,
picking whichever one shares the low three bits:
R5 -> RAX R7 -> RBP R8 -> RSI R9 -> RDI
With BPF_REG_5, whose reg2hex is 0, the emitted
65 49 03 04 25 <off> add %gs:<off>,%rax
adds the per-CPU offset to RAX rather than R8. The destination keeps
the unadjusted address and RAX is clobbered, so the program goes on to
dereference a pointer that was never made per-CPU:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000607e386a8894
RIP: bpf_prog_707837aafd2aa9ae_update_percpu_data+0x93/0xc9
Call Trace:
__bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp+0x2dc/0x7d0
__flush_smp_call_function_queue+0x1e9/0xc80
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
R5 is the mildest of the four, aliasing a scratch register and faulting
at the store. R7 aliases RBP and would corrupt the frame pointer, R8
and R9 alias the argument registers.
Use add_2mod() so the register goes through REX.R, matching how
add_2reg() places it in ModRM.reg and how emit_priv_frame_ptr()
hardcodes 0x4c for the same instruction with R9. Encodings for the
non-extended registers are unchanged.
Problem showed up when trying to resurrect BPF_GCC CI (selftests built
with BPF_GCC).
This has gone unnoticed because clang reloads the address into R1
before each per-CPU access, so the destination is never an extended
register. GCC keeps several per-CPU addresses live at once, and
test_progs-bpf_gcc panics the kernel in global_percpu_data/init, where
the address of a .percpu variable ends up in R5. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/mce: Make the MCE notifier per-region
Flavien Solt reported lifetime issues with the CXL MCE notifier, which
can lead to NULL dereferences and use-after-free in the MCE handler.
The notifier was registered per memory device and stored in 'struct
cxl_memdev_state', even though it only needs the region state (the
region's SPA range and its extended linear cache size).
Instead of keeping the memory device and endpoint alive, the correct fix
is to move the notifier into 'struct cxl_region' and register it from
cxl_region_probe() as it should be a per-region notifier. Setup the
registration to only happen for regions that have an extended linear
cache as that is the only current usage.
Remove cxl_port_get_spa_cache_alias() as it is now dead code.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
svcrdma: Reject Read lists that exceed the page budget
Individual Read segment lengths are validated at decode time, but
nothing prevents a requester from sending multiple segments whose
cumulative length exceeds the rq_pages array budget. When one
segment fills the page array exactly, the runtime guard in
svc_rdma_build_read_segment() is bypassed because len reaches zero.
A subsequent segment then accesses the NULL sentinel slot at
rq_pages[rq_maxpages], resulting in a NULL pointer dereference during
DMA mapping.
Accumulate pages across all Read segments and reject the message at
decode time when the total would overflow the page budget. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: Fix unlocked dereference of dev->desc in i3c_device_get_supported_xfer_mode()
i3c_device_get_supported_xfer_mode() uses dev->desc to obtain the
master controller. However, dev->desc must not be dereferenced unless
bus->lock is held, and this function does not take that lock.
The function only needs access to the master controller associated with
the device's bus. Use dev->bus instead, which is always valid for the
lifetime of the device and does not require dereferencing dev->desc. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iomap: don't free integrity payload that doesn't exist
fs_bio_integrity_alloc might not allocate a bio integrity payload if PI
verification is disabled on the block device. Check for that case before
calling fs_bio_integrity_free in iomap_bio_read_folio_range_sync to
avoid a NULL pointer dereferences.
Make the branch cover the PI verification as well - while
fs_bio_integrity_verify works without an integrity payload, it requires
one to actually do useful work. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: uvc: Fix null pointer dereference in uvcg_video_init()
In uvcg_video_init(), if kthread_run_worker() fails,
the error logged uses uvcg_err(), however, the pointer it uses:
video->uvc is not assigned at this point, triggering a null
pointer dereference. Fix this by directly using uvc->func which
is assigned already. |
| Null pointer dereference in Windows Biometric Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Issue summary: OpenSSL CMP password based protection verification only
checks whether the protectionAlg parameter was not NULL and not its
ASN.1 type, before treating it as a PBMParameter. A crafted message can
contain a parameter of a different type, which is then dereferenced as an
invalid pointer.
Impact summary: A remote, unauthenticated attacker can crash an application
acting as a CMP server that accepts PBM-protected messages, or a CMP client
talking to a malicious or intercepted CMP server, resulting in a Denial of
Service.
CWE: CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference
Description: When verifying the password-based MAC protection of a CMP
message, OpenSSL library reads the protectionAlg algorithm parameter with
X509_ALGOR_get0(), which returns both the parameter type and its value
pointer. The value is then cast to an ASN1_STRING and treated as the
expected PBMParameter after only checking that pointer is not NULL. The
parameter type returned by X509_ALGOR_get0() was never consulted.
This happens during protection verification, before any MAC is computed, so
no knowledge of the PBM shared secret is required; the only precondition is
that PBM verification is reachable. On the server side this is reached from
OSSL_CMP_SRV_process_request() for any application that stands up a CMP
server accepting PBM-protected messages, and on the client side from CMP
response validation against a malicious or on-path (MITM) server. The
reliable consequence is a denial of service; there is no memory disclosure,
no controlled memory write, and no path to code execution. CMP is a
specialized feature that an application must explicitly enable.
FIPS impact: no
As the CMP code lives outside the FIPS module boundary, no FIPS modules
are affected by this CVE. |
| Issue summary: In a server or client configuration with RFC7250 Raw Public Keys (RPKs)
enabled, and only the private key (with no associated certificate) configured locally,
a NULL pointer dereference may occur when the remote peer solicits raw public keys and
also sends the typically omitted "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension.
Impact summary: The impact is limited to a possible Denial of Service as a result of
an application abort, no data disclosure or remote command execution are possible.
CWE: CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference
Description: While a passing comment in sample code in the documentation suggests
that key-only RPK configurations are supported, the best-practice RPK configuration
is to always configure a corresponding certificate (possibly self-signed or
signed by any convenient CA).
When the private key is configured along with a matching certificate, the
"signature_algorithms_cert" extension is handled reliably even without the
fix, and peer clients or servers that don't support raw public keys may be
able to complete a TLS connection by pinning or verifying the corresponding
certificate or its public key.
Deployments that prefer to configure just a private key with no certificate
need to upgrade to an updated release as noted below.
FIPS impact: no
No FIPS modules are affected by this issue, as the SSL protocol implementation
is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/rocket: fix NULL dereference and integer overflow in rocket_job_push()
rocket_job_push() allocates a temporary array to hold all input and
output GEM object pointers:
bos = kvmalloc_array(job->in_bo_count + job->out_bo_count,
sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL);
memcpy(bos, job->in_bos, job->in_bo_count * sizeof(void *));
memcpy(&bos[job->in_bo_count], job->out_bos, ...);
Two bugs exist:
1. Missing NULL check: if kvmalloc_array() fails, bos is NULL and
the subsequent memcpy() dereferences it, causing a kernel NULL
pointer dereference.
2. Integer overflow: in_bo_count and out_bo_count are both u32, set
directly from userspace-supplied in_bo_handle_count and
out_bo_handle_count with no prior validation. Their sum is computed
in u32 arithmetic and can wrap to a smaller value, causing the
allocation count passed to kvmalloc_array() to be smaller than
intended. Subsequent uses still operate on the original counts when
copying and locking objects, which may lead to out-of-bounds accesses
on the temporary array.
Fix by using check_add_overflow() to detect count overflow before the
allocation, and adding a NULL check on the allocation result. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/rocket: initialize job domain before cleanup paths
rocket_ioctl_submit_job() releases rjob through rocket_job_put() on
allocation error paths. rocket_job_cleanup() unconditionally calls
rocket_iommu_domain_put(job->domain), but job->domain is assigned only
after task copying and BO lookups. A failure before that assignment can
therefore clean up a job with a NULL domain pointer.
Take the per-file domain reference before the first error path can release
rjob. Also clear rjob->tasks after freeing it in rocket_copy_tasks(), so
the common cleanup path cannot free the task array again after a task-copy
error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
params: fix charp corruption on allocation failure
param_set_charp() stores charp parameters in allocated memory after slab is
available, and releases the previous value when the parameter is updated.
The previous value is released before the replacement allocation succeeds.
If kmalloc_parameter() fails, the setter returns -ENOMEM with the parameter
left as NULL.
Failing zswap's compressor update before zswap is initialized can later
trigger:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

Allocate and copy the replacement first, then replace the parameter value
only after allocation succeeds. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Fix rq->core_pick corruption under core scheduling
Core scheduling's pick_next_task() picks what to run on every SMT sibling of
the core in a single pass under the shared core-wide rq lock. The selection
state is consistent only while the lock is held continuously, so
->pick_task() originally could not release it. However, since 4c95380701f5
("sched/ext: Fold balance_scx() into pick_task_scx()"), sched_ext runs
dispatch from inside the pick and dispatching can drop the rq lock. To
support this, pick_next_task() has been updated to restart the whole
selection when a pick returns RETRY_TASK after releasing the lock.
When selections on the same core interleave through the dropped lock, they
corrupt each other's state: one clears the other's rq->core_pick leading to
a NULL deref, or invalidates its keep-the-previous-task decision leaving a
dequeued task running, which deadlocks the next wakeup and matches the
reported hard hangs. A cookied ping-pong load on an SMT machine makes the
interleavings frequent and kills the kernel within seconds.
Fix it by making the pick return RETRY_TASK whenever dispatch released the
rq lock, so that a selection only ever commits picks made under a
continuously held lock. The previous patch's rq->scx.lock_drop_seq counts
the releases. A dispatch that touched nothing never releases the lock and
its verdict, including "nothing to run", stands: retries are bounded, each
following a dispatch that actually did something, and an idle CPU does not
loop.
If another dispatch is already in flight on the rq, skip dispatching and
pick from what is already queued locally - the in-flight dispatch has
released the lock, so its own selection will retry and re-pick this rq,
while returning RETRY_TASK here would only spin on the lock that dispatch
needs to finish.
Balance callbacks must run in the context that queued them, so they can only
be queued on the CPU's own rq. When dispatching for another rq, run the
deferred work directly instead - that rq may consume all its picks through
the core-sched fast path and never queue the callback itself.
The put_prev_task_scx() warning about a runnable task being left behind
assumed that dispatch ran as part of the very pick that is switching away.
That now only holds on the non-core path, so gate it and drop the
cookie-match test, which is always true without core scheduling, from its
condition. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ionic: Embed counter driver data in rdma_counter allocation
Commit 7e53b31acc7f ("RDMA/core: Create and destroy rdma_counter using
rdma_zalloc_drv_obj()") requires drivers implementing counter ops to
embed struct rdma_counter in a driver-specific struct, register its size
via INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE, and provide a counter_init callback.
The ionic driver was merged without this adaptation, causing a NULL
pointer dereference in alloc_and_bind() since rdma_zalloc_drv_obj()
allocates zero bytes when size_rdma_counter is unset.
Consolidate struct ionic_counter into a new struct ionic_rdma_counter
that embeds struct rdma_counter, replace the xarray with a lightweight
ida for ID allocation, and add the required counter_init and
INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE declarations. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/uverbs: Add UVERBS_ATTR_UHW to UVERBS_METHOD_REG_MR
The original commit missed that three drivers (mthca, irdma, siw) have UHW
data associated with reg_mr that cannot be passed through the ioctl. They
also assume that the udata cannot be NULL, so failing to pass a valid
udata can trigger a NULL udata crash in those drivers.
This never happens in real systems since in rdma-core ibv_cmd_reg_mr_ex()
does not accept a udata and those three drivers don't use it, however a
malicious userspace could trigger it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd: fix NULL dereference on lockowner allocation failure
nlmclnt_locks_init_private() installs NLM file lock operations even when
nlmclnt_find_lockowner() fails to allocate a lockowner. nlmclnt_proc()
then returns -ENOMEM, but the VFS still tears down the partially
initialized file_lock and calls locks_release_private().
That invokes nlmclnt_locks_release_private(), which dereferences
fl->fl_u.nfs_fl.owner and crashes because the owner was never installed.
Clear fl_ops before attempting to initialize the NLM private state, and
install the NLM lock operations only after a lockowner has been allocated
successfully. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/sva: Set handle->dev before the SVA handle is visible
iommu_attach_device_pasid() installs the new SVA attach handle in the
group PASID lookup before iommu_sva_bind_device() returns. A concurrent
bind can therefore find and reuse the same handle after iommu_sva_lock is
dropped.
handle->dev was initialized after dropping iommu_sva_lock. This leaves a
window where a racing bind can return a handle whose dev pointer is still
NULL. A subsequent iommu_sva_unbind_device() can then dereference it via
handle->dev->iommu_group.
Initialize handle->dev before releasing iommu_sva_lock so any visible SVA
handle is fully initialized. |
