| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mctp: route: hold key->lock in mctp_flow_prepare_output()
mctp_flow_prepare_output() checks key->dev and may call
mctp_dev_set_key(), but it does not hold key->lock while doing so.
mctp_dev_set_key() and mctp_dev_release_key() are annotated with
__must_hold(&key->lock), so key->dev access is intended to be
serialized by key->lock. The mctp_sendmsg() transmit path reaches
mctp_flow_prepare_output() via mctp_local_output() -> mctp_dst_output()
without holding key->lock, so the check-and-set sequence is racy.
Example interleaving:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
mctp_flow_prepare_output(key, devA)
if (!key->dev) // sees NULL
mctp_flow_prepare_output(
key, devB)
if (!key->dev) // still NULL
mctp_dev_set_key(devB, key)
mctp_dev_hold(devB)
key->dev = devB
mctp_dev_set_key(devA, key)
mctp_dev_hold(devA)
key->dev = devA // overwrites devB
Now both devA and devB references were acquired, but only the final
key->dev value is tracked for release. One reference can be lost,
causing a resource leak as mctp_dev_release_key() would only decrease
the reference on one dev.
Fix by taking key->lock around the key->dev check and
mctp_dev_set_key() call. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: return EISDIR on nfs3_proc_create if d_alias is a dir
If we found an alias through nfs3_do_create/nfs_add_or_obtain
/d_splice_alias which happens to be a dir dentry, we don't return
any error, and simply forget about this alias, but the original
dentry we were adding and passed as parameter remains negative.
This later causes an oops on nfs_atomic_open_v23/finish_open since we
supply a negative dentry to do_dentry_open.
This has been observed running lustre-racer, where dirs and files are
created/removed concurrently with the same name and O_EXCL is not
used to open files (frequent file redirection).
While d_splice_alias typically returns a directory alias or NULL, we
explicitly check d_is_dir() to ensure that we don't attempt to perform
file operations (like finish_open) on a directory inode, which triggers
the observed oops. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: yurex: fix race in probe
The bbu member of the descriptor must be set to the value
standing for uninitialized values before the URB whose
completion handler sets bbu is submitted. Otherwise there is
a window during which probing can overwrite already retrieved
data. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix runtime suspend deadlock when there is pending job
The runtime suspend callback drains the running job workqueue before
suspending the device. If a job is still executing and calls
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), it can deadlock with the runtime suspend
path.
Fix this by moving pm_runtime_resume_and_get() from the job execution
routine to the job submission routine, ensuring the device is resumed
before the job is queued and avoiding the deadlock during runtime
suspend. |
| Due to multiple time-of-check time-of-use race conditions in the resource count check and increment logic, as well as missing validations, users of the platform are able to exceed the allocation limits configured for their accounts/domains. This can be used by an attacker to degrade the infrastructure's resources and lead to denial of service conditions.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack versions 4.20.3.0 or 4.22.0.1, or later, which fixes this issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nouveau/dpcd: return EBUSY for aux xfer if the device is asleep
If we have runtime suspended, and userspace wants to use /dev/drm_dp_*
then just tell it the device is busy instead of crashing in the GSP
code.

media: chips-media: wave5: Fix kthread worker destruction in polling mode
Fix the cleanup order in polling mode (irq < 0) to prevent kernel warnings
during module removal. Cancel the hrtimer before destroying the kthread
worker to ensure work queues are empty.
In polling mode, the driver uses hrtimer to periodically trigger
wave5_vpu_timer_callback() which queues work via kthread_queue_work().
The kthread_destroy_worker() function validates that both work queues
are empty with WARN_ON(!list_empty(&worker->work_list)) and
WARN_ON(!list_empty(&worker->delayed_work_list)).
The original code called kthread_destroy_worker() before hrtimer_cancel(),
creating a race condition where the timer could fire during worker
destruction and queue new work, triggering the WARN_ON.
This causes the following warning on every module unload in polling mode:

ceph: fix i_nlink underrun during async unlink
During async unlink, we drop the `i_nlink` counter before we receive
the completion (that will eventually update the `i_nlink`) because "we
assume that the unlink will succeed". That is not a bad idea, but it
races against deletions by other clients (or against the completion of
our own unlink) and can lead to an underrun which emits a WARNING like
this one:

In ceph_unlink(), a call to ceph_mdsc_submit_request() submits the
CEPH_MDS_OP_UNLINK to the MDS, but does not wait for completion.
Meanwhile, between this call and the following drop_nlink() call, a
worker thread may process a CEPH_CAP_OP_IMPORT, CEPH_CAP_OP_GRANT or
just a CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_REPLY (the latter of which could be our own
completion). These will lead to a set_nlink() call, updating the
`i_nlink` counter to the value received from the MDS. If that new
`i_nlink` value happens to be zero, it is illegal to decrement it
further. But that is exactly what ceph_unlink() will do then.
The WARNING can be reproduced this way:
1. Force async unlink; only the async code path is affected. Having
no real clue about Ceph internals, I was unable to find out why the
MDS wouldn't give me the "Fxr" capabilities, so I patched
get_caps_for_async_unlink() to always succeed.
(Note that the WARNING dump above was found on an unpatched kernel,
without this kludge - this is not a theoretical bug.)
2. Add a sleep call after ceph_mdsc_submit_request() so the unlink
completion gets handled by a worker thread before drop_nlink() is
called. This guarantees that the `i_nlink` is already zero before
drop_nlink() runs.
The solution is to skip the counter decrement when it is already zero,
but doing so without a lock is still racy (TOCTOU). Since
ceph_fill_inode() and handle_cap_grant() both hold the
`ceph_inode_info.i_ceph_lock` spinlock while set_nlink() runs, this
seems like the proper lock to protect the `i_nlink` updates.
I found prior art in NFS and SMB (using `inode.i_lock`) and AFS (using
`afs_vnode.cb_lock`). All three have the zero check as well. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup: fix race between task migration and iteration
When a task is migrated out of a css_set, cgroup_migrate_add_task()
first moves it from cset->tasks to cset->mg_tasks via:
list_move_tail(&task->cg_list, &cset->mg_tasks);
If a css_task_iter currently has it->task_pos pointing to this task,
css_set_move_task() calls css_task_iter_skip() to keep the iterator
valid. However, since the task has already been moved to ->mg_tasks,
the iterator is advanced relative to the mg_tasks list instead of the
original tasks list. As a result, remaining tasks on cset->tasks, as
well as tasks queued on cset->mg_tasks, can be skipped by iteration.
Fix this by calling css_set_skip_task_iters() before unlinking
task->cg_list from cset->tasks. This advances all active iterators to
the next task on cset->tasks, so iteration continues correctly even
when a task is concurrently being migrated.
This race is hard to hit in practice without instrumentation, but it
can be reproduced by artificially slowing down cgroup_procs_show().
For example, on an Android device a temporary
/sys/kernel/cgroup/cgroup_test knob can be added to inject a delay
into cgroup_procs_show(), and then:
1) Spawn three long-running tasks (PIDs 101, 102, 103).
2) Create a test cgroup and move the tasks into it.
3) Enable a large delay via /sys/kernel/cgroup/cgroup_test.
4) In one shell, read cgroup.procs from the test cgroup.
5) Within the delay window, in another shell migrate PID 102 by
writing it to a different cgroup.procs file.
Under this setup, cgroup.procs can intermittently show only PID 101
while skipping PID 103. Once the migration completes, reading the
file again shows all tasks as expected.
Note that this change does not allow removing the existing
css_set_skip_task_iters() call in css_set_move_task(). The new call
in cgroup_migrate_add_task() only handles iterators that are racing
with migration while the task is still on cset->tasks. Iterators may
also start after the task has been moved to cset->mg_tasks. If we
dropped css_set_skip_task_iters() from css_set_move_task(), such
iterators could keep task_pos pointing to a migrating task, causing
css_task_iter_advance() to malfunction on the destination css_set,
up to and including crashes or infinite loops.
The race window between migration and iteration is very small, and
css_task_iter is not on a hot path. In the worst case, when an
iterator is positioned on the first thread of the migrating process,
cgroup_migrate_add_task() may have to skip multiple tasks via
css_set_skip_task_iters(). However, this only happens when migration
and iteration actually race, so the performance impact is negligible
compared to the correctness fix provided here. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Fix device cleanup order to prevent kernel panic
Move video device unregistration to the beginning of the remove function
to ensure all video operations are stopped before cleaning up the worker
thread and disabling PM runtime. This prevents hardware register access
after the device has been powered down.
In polling mode, the hrtimer periodically triggers
wave5_vpu_timer_callback() which queues work to the kthread worker.
The worker executes wave5_vpu_irq_work_fn() which reads hardware
registers via wave5_vdi_read_register().
The original cleanup order disabled PM runtime and powered down hardware
before unregistering video devices. When autosuspend triggers and powers
off the hardware, the video devices are still registered and the worker
thread can still be triggered by the hrtimer, causing it to attempt
reading registers from powered-off hardware. This results in a bus error
(synchronous external abort) and kernel panic.
This causes random kernel panics during encoding operations:

Kernel panic - not syncing: synchronous external abort:
Fatal exception |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Flush exception handling work when RPM level is zero
Ensure that the exception event handling work is explicitly flushed during
suspend when the runtime power management level is set to UFS_PM_LVL_0.
When the RPM level is zero, the device power mode and link state both
remain active. Previously, the UFS core driver bypassed flushing exception
event handling jobs in this configuration. This created a race condition
where the driver could attempt to access the host controller to handle an
exception after the system had already entered a deep power-down state,
resulting in a system crash.
Explicitly flush this work and disable auto BKOPs before the suspend
callback proceeds. This guarantees that pending exception tasks complete
and prevents illegal hardware access during the power-down sequence. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mpls: add seqcount to protect the platform_label{,s} pair
The RCU-protected codepaths (mpls_forward, mpls_dump_routes) can have
an inconsistent view of platform_labels vs platform_label in case of a
concurrent resize (resize_platform_label_table, under
platform_mutex). This can lead to OOB accesses.
This patch adds a seqcount, so that we get a consistent snapshot.
Note that mpls_label_ok is also susceptible to this, so the check
against RTA_DST in rtm_to_route_config, done outside platform_mutex,
is not sufficient. This value gets passed to mpls_label_ok once more
in both mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del, so there is no issue, but
that additional check must not be removed. |

iommu/vt-d: Flush dev-IOTLB only when PCIe device is accessible in scalable mode
Commit 4fc82cd907ac ("iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation
request when device is disconnected") relies on
pci_dev_is_disconnected() to skip ATS invalidation for
safely-removed devices, but it does not cover link-down caused
by faults, which can still hard-lock the system.
For example, if a VM fails to connect to the PCIe device,
"virsh destroy" is executed to release resources and isolate
the fault, but a hard-lockup occurs while releasing the group fd.

Although pci_device_is_present() is slower than
pci_dev_is_disconnected(), it still takes only ~70 µs on a
ConnectX-5 (8 GT/s, x2) and becomes even faster as PCIe speed
and width increase.
Besides, devtlb_invalidation_with_pasid() is called only in the
paths below, which are far less frequent than memory map/unmap.
1. mm-struct release
2. {attach,release}_dev
3. set/remove PASID
4. dirty-tracking setup
The gain in system stability far outweighs the negligible cost
of using pci_device_is_present() instead of pci_dev_is_disconnected()
to decide when to skip ATS invalidation, especially under GDR
high-load conditions. |

btrfs: do not ASSERT() when the fs flips RO inside btrfs_repair_io_failure()

There is a bug report that when btrfs hits ENOSPC error in a critical

still needs to be addressed).
The problem is after the RO flip, if there is a read repair pending, we

[CAUSE]
The cause of -ENOSPC error during the test case btrfs/124 is still
unknown, although it's known that we still have cases where metadata can
be over-committed but can not be fulfilled correctly, thus if we hit
such ENOSPC error inside a critical path, we have no choice but abort
the current transaction.
This will mark the fs read-only.
The problem is inside the btrfs_repair_io_failure() path that we require
the fs not to be mount read-only. This is normally fine, but if we are
doing a read-repair meanwhile the fs flips RO due to a critical error,
we can enter btrfs_repair_io_failure() with super block set to
read-only, thus triggering the above crash.
[FIX]
Just replace the ASSERT() with a proper return if the fs is already
read-only. |
| A flaw was found in libcap. A local unprivileged user can exploit a Time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the `cap_set_file()` function. This allows an attacker with write access to a parent directory to redirect file capability updates to an attacker-controlled file. By doing so, capabilities can be injected into or stripped from unintended executables, leading to privilege escalation. |
| Sandboxie-Plus is an open source sandbox-based isolation software for Windows. In versions 1.17.2 and earlier, a Time-of-Check-to-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition exists during addon installation. When a user installs an addon through the SandMan interface, UpdUtil.exe is spawned as SYSTEM by SbieSvc but stages files in the user-writable %TEMP%\sandboxie-updater directory. After UpdUtil verifies file hashes against the signed addon manifest, install.bat extracts files.cab and executes config.exe from its contents. Between hash verification and extraction, an unprivileged user can replace files.cab with a crafted cabinet containing a malicious executable, which is then run as SYSTEM. No UAC prompt is required.
This issue has been fixed in version 1.17.3. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: close crash window in attr dabtree inactivation
When inactivating an inode with node-format extended attributes,
xfs_attr3_node_inactive() invalidates all child leaf/node blocks via
xfs_trans_binval(), but intentionally does not remove the corresponding
entries from their parent node blocks. The implicit assumption is that
xfs_attr_inactive() will truncate the entire attr fork to zero extents
afterwards, so log recovery will never reach the root node and follow
those stale pointers.
However, if a log shutdown occurs after the leaf/node block cancellations
commit but before the attr bmap truncation commits, this assumption
breaks. Recovery replays the attr bmap intact (the inode still has
attr fork extents), but suppresses replay of all cancelled leaf/node
blocks, maybe leaving them as stale data on disk. On the next mount,
xlog_recover_process_iunlinks() retries inactivation and attempts to
read the root node via the attr bmap. If the root node was not replayed,
reading the unreplayed root block triggers a metadata verification
failure immediately; if it was replayed, following its child pointers
to unreplayed child blocks triggers the same failure:

XFS (pmem0): metadata I/O error in "xfs_da_read_buf+0x104/0x190" at daddr 0x78 len 8 error 117
Fix this in two places:
In xfs_attr3_node_inactive(), after calling xfs_trans_binval() on a
child block, immediately remove the entry that references it from the
parent node in the same transaction. This eliminates the window where
the parent holds a pointer to a cancelled block. Once all children are
removed, the now-empty root node is converted to a leaf block within the
same transaction. This node-to-leaf conversion is necessary for crash
safety. If the system shutdown after the empty node is written to the
log but before the second-phase bmap truncation commits, log recovery
will attempt to verify the root block on disk. xfs_da3_node_verify()
does not permit a node block with count == 0; such a block will fail
verification and trigger a metadata corruption shutdown. on the other
hand, leaf blocks are allowed to have this transient state.
In xfs_attr_inactive(), split the attr fork truncation into two explicit
phases. First, truncate all extents beyond the root block (the child
extents whose parent references have already been removed above).
Second, invalidate the root block and truncate the attr bmap to zero in
a single transaction. The two operations in the second phase must be
atomic: as long as the attr bmap has any non-zero length, recovery can
follow it to the root block, so the root block invalidation must commit
together with the bmap-to-zero truncation. |

usb: gadget: uvc: fix NULL pointer dereference during unbind race
Commit b81ac4395bbe ("usb: gadget: uvc: allow for application to cleanly
shutdown") introduced two stages of synchronization waits totaling 1500ms
in uvc_function_unbind() to prevent several types of kernel panics.
However, this timing-based approach is insufficient during power
management (PM) transitions.
When the PM subsystem starts freezing user space processes, the
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() is aborted early, which allows the
unbind thread to proceed and nullify the gadget pointer
(cdev->gadget = NULL):
[ 814.123447][ T947] configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: uvc: uvc_function_unbind()

[ 814.197668][ T947] configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: uvc: uvc_function_unbind no clean disconnect, wait for release
When the PM subsystem resumes or aborts the suspend and tasks are
restarted, the V4L2 release path is executed and attempts to access the
already nullified gadget pointer, triggering a kernel panic:

Address the race condition and NULL pointer dereference by:
1. State Synchronization (flag + mutex)
Introduce a 'func_unbound' flag in struct uvc_device. This allows
uvc_function_disconnect() to safely skip accessing the nullified
cdev->gadget pointer. As suggested by Alan Stern, this flag is protected
by a new mutex (uvc->lock) to ensure proper memory ordering and prevent
instruction reordering or speculative loads. This mutex is also used to
protect 'func_connected' for consistent state management.
2. Explicit Synchronization (completion)
Use a completion to synchronize uvc_function_unbind() with the
uvc_vdev_release() callback. This prevents Use-After-Free (UAF) by
ensuring struct uvc_device is freed after all video device resources
are released. |
