CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
workqueue: Fix NULL current_pwq deref in chained work check
current_wq_worker() only tells us that %current is a kworker. It does
not guarantee that the worker is currently executing a work item, as
worker->current_pwq is populated only while process_one_work() is running
the work function.
is_chained_work() can be reached while queueing on a draining or
destroying workqueue. If a kworker outside work-item execution reaches
that path, current_wq_worker() returns a worker but worker->current_pwq is
NULL, and the chained-work test can fault before it emits the intended
warning.
Guard the chained-work test with worker->current_pwq. A kworker without
current_pwq is not executing work on the target workqueue, so the helper
should return false and let the draining/destroying warning fire. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/netfront: don't leak the skb when xennet_fill_frags() fails
When a response chain has more slots than fit in the skb's frags,
xennet_fill_frags() returns an error and xennet_poll() jumps to its
error path. That path moves what's left on tmpq to errq to be freed,
but the skb being filled was already dequeued from tmpq, so it's never
freed. Each chain that overflows leaks the skb and the pages attached
to it as frags, and the backend decides how many slots it sends.
Put the skb back on tmpq before taking the error path, like the
xennet_set_skb_gso() failure just above it does. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
strparser: make sure __strp_recv isn't running before tearing down the parser
The comment above strp_done() claims that if strp is stopped,
strp_recv will no longer be called. That's only true if the caller has
a mechanism (eg locking) to guarantee that strp_recv() calls that
started before strp_stop() have completed by the time we call
strp_done().
This adds a dummy lock_sock/release_sock pair to guarantee that any
in-flight strp_recv() (which runs under either bh_lock_sock or
lock_sock, depending if it's called from ->sk_data_ready or strp_work)
has completed.
Only espintcp can be affected by this race condition, but this patch
makes sure no future user of strp can have the bug.
This could crash on strp->sk ("general mode" of strp), but this mode
has been here for 9 years and has never been used. It'll be gone soon,
no point worrying about it.
Switch the stopped/paused/etc bits to u8's to avoid races between
strp_stop() and strp_pause/unpause().
A reproducer has been published and turns the possible UAF into an
exploit [1]. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: reject net_iov in zerocopy receive mapping hints
After copying a readable prefix, receive_fallback_to_copy() asks
tcp_zerocopy_set_hint_for_skb() where page mapping can resume. If the
next skb is unreadable, find_next_mappable_frag() passes its net_iov
fragment to can_map_frag().
skb_frag_page() returns NULL for a net_iov, but can_map_frag()
dereferences it in PageCompound(). A v7.2 KASAN run on a connected TCP
socket with 64 readable bytes followed by a 4096-byte NET_IOV_DMABUF
fragment reported:
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in can_map_frag
tcp_zerocopy_receive -> can_map_frag
Kernel panic - not syncing: KASAN: panic_on_warn set
The diagnostic inserted the net_iov directly because the test host has
no devmem-capable NIC. Hardware end-to-end reachability remains untested
and requires CONFIG_NET_DEVMEM plus a supported DMA-buf-bound RX queue.
Reject all net_iov fragments before skb_frag_page(). This covers both
DMABUF and IOURING net_iov types while leaving page-backed checks
unchanged. With the guard, the same queue copied the readable prefix,
returned a 4096-byte skip hint, and completed without a fault. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: destroy topsrv workqueues before closing connections
tipc_topsrv_stop() closed subscriber connections while the topology
server's send and receive workqueues were still running. Socket
callbacks and subscription events could then queue more work, and
in-flight send/recv work could drop the last connection reference
during the conn_idr walk.
That race produced several teardown failures: refcount_t addition on
0 from conn_get() on a connection whose release was blocked on
idr_lock, a subsequent use-after-free in tipc_conn_close(),
queue_work() on an already destroyed workqueue from the listener
data-ready callback, and an RCU stall in tipc_topsrv_exit_net()
while the walk spun under idr_lock.
Clear srv->listener under idr_lock so it acts as a shutdown flag,
skip queue_work() once it is NULL, destroy the workqueues to flush
in-flight work, and only then close the remaining connections.
Refuse tipc_conn_lookup() after that flag is cleared, and drop
idr_lock when the teardown walk finds no connection, so an
in-flight subscription event cannot pin idr_in_use while the
walk holds the lock.
v3 supersedes the narrower in-thread diff Tung Quang Nguyen
posted on 2026-09-23. It keeps his teardown order and adds the
lookup refusal and the empty-idr unlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: hold a reference to nodes found by link name
tipc_node_find_by_name() returns a node after dropping its RCU read lock
without taking a reference. The LINK_SET, LINK_GET and LINK_RESET_STATS
handlers then lock and access the node, racing with timer-driven cleanup of
a down peer. Generic netlink serialization does not exclude the node
timer.
The following interleaving can leave a handler using a freed node:
CPU 0: find the node under RCU and release the node read lock
CPU 1: tipc_node_timeout() clears the links and unlinks the down node
CPU 1: drop the list and timer references, queuing tipc_node_free()
CPU 0: leave the RCU read-side critical section
CPU 1: complete the grace period and free the node
CPU 0: acquire the node lock through the stale pointer
LINK_SET also uses the node's media address after releasing the node lock,
when passing queued packets to tipc_bearer_xmit().
KASAN on v7.3-rc5 reported:

so concurrent link removal still takes the existing error paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: preserve NATIVE_LABELS on already-initialized sb in set_mnt_opts
When an NFSv4 filesystem exported with security_label is mounted a
second time, sget_fc() returns the existing superblock and
nfs_get_root() calls security_sb_set_mnt_opts() again on it. Since the
superblock is already SB_INITIALIZED, selinux_set_mnt_opts() takes an
early exit without setting SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS in
*set_kern_flags. nfs_get_root() then sees kflags without
SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS set and clears NFS_CAP_SECURITY_LABEL on
the shared nfs_server, silently disabling per-file labeling for both
the new and the original mount.
Commit 3815a245b501 ("security/selinux: fix SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS
on reused superblock") fixed the same problem in
selinux_sb_clone_mnt_opts(). The reused-superblock path for a plain
second mount now goes through sb_set_mnt_opts rather than
sb_clone_mnt_opts, so it needs the same treatment: on both
SE_SBINITIALIZED early exits, set SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS in
*set_kern_flags when the superblock was already using
SECURITY_FS_USE_NATVE. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsverity: RCU-delay the freeing of struct fsverity_info
__fsverity_get_info() calls rhashtable_lookup_fast(), which just uses
rcu_read_lock() and doesn't directly synchronize with
fsverity_remove_info().
For the same inode this isn't a problem: its fsverity_info is removed
only at inode eviction time or upon failure to enable verity, when the
inode no longer needs its fsverity_info and it will no longer be
accessed via that inode.
However, this is broken and can cause a use-after-free for concurrent
__fsverity_get_info() for *different* inodes. Those rely on following
fsverity_info::rhash_head in the rhashtable under rcu_read_lock() only.
They also use fsverity_info::inode to do the key comparison.
Fix this by RCU-delaying the freeing of 'struct fsverity_info' after
it's been removed from the rhashtable. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: mpsse: fix race when arming the IRQ poll worker
gpio_mpsse_irq_enable() arms the poll worker before publishing it:
schedule_work() runs before the worker is added to priv->workers. If
gpio_mpsse_disconnect() walks the list in that window it misses the
worker, and once disconnect returns, the USB core frees mpsse_priv
while the orphaned gpio_mpsse_poll() work keeps accessing it, causing
a use-after-free.
Fix this by publishing and arming the worker in one irq_spin
critical section. Teardown walks the same list under irq_spin, so a
worker found on the list is guaranteed to be armed, and
cancel_work_sync() handles it whether it is queued or running.
A worker armed after the disconnect walk would still be missed, so
also set a new priv->dying flag under irq_spin before the teardown
walk, and check it in the same critical section, freeing it via
kfree_rcu() instead when the device is going away, since kfree()
would be called with the IRQ core's raw spinlock held and may sleep
on PREEMPT_RT. schedule_work() is safe to call with irq_spin held,
and the next probe gets a fresh mpsse_priv, so the flag never needs
to be cleared.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool. |
| The system certificate authority (CA) store in Red Hat products, distributed via ca-certificates RPM packages, included multiple root CA certificates of authorities, which signed intermediate CA certificates with weak private keys issued by the eMudhra certificate authority. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to issue certificates for arbitrary host names signed by the weak intermediate CA certificates, which would be considered trusted by a TLS/SSL client using system CA store and cause such clients to connect to malicious sites.
Due to inability to only distrust specific intermediate certificates in all clients using the system CA store, root CA certificates of authorities that signed weak intermediate CA certificates are being removed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: xilinx: fix runtime PM leak on request error path
pm_runtime_get_sync() leaves the usage counter incremented even when it
fails, and xgpio_request() returns the error without dropping it.
gpiolib does not call ->free() when ->request() fails, so xgpio_free(),
which holds the only matching pm_runtime_put(), never runs. The reference
is leaked and the controller can no longer runtime-suspend, so its clock
stays enabled.
Switch to pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which only increments the usage
counter on success. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: fix napi_disable deadlock when attempting to disable XSK pools
When disabling XSK pools, GVE calls the unlocked versions of
napi_disable and napi_enable. However, the netdev lock has already been
acquired before ndo_bpf is called because GVE supports queue management
ops. Calling the unlocked versions of napi_disable/enable results in a
deadlock when attempting to disable XSK pools, as the thread attempts to
re-acquire a lock it already holds.
Update the NAPI calls to use the locked versions.
This issue was found in production. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: fix XSK buffer leak when rings are stopped
GVE does not free XSK buffers when resetting ring state as a part of
stopping queues. This causes all XSK buffers which are posted to the
NIC to be leaked.
Free XSK buffers attached to an allocated buf_state when stopping rings.
This issue was hit in production. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: fix XSK buffer leak on error descriptor
When the error bit is set in the RX completion descriptor, the buf_state
and its attached buffer should be freed. In the case of AF_XDP ZC, the
XSK buffer was not freed, leading to a leak.
This issue was caught by LLM. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmveth: h_free logical LAN on open-fail after register
ibmveth_open() registers the logical LAN, then allocates the RX
buffer pools. A pool failure jumps to out_free_buffer_pools without
h_free_logical_lan(), so PHYP still owns the buffer-list page when
it is unmapped. request_irq() failure already issued the hypercall
before taking the same label.
Move that h_free to the shared post-register unwind so both paths
deregister before the buffer list is unmapped. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix use-after-free in dynamic port cleanup
ice_dealloc_dynamic_port() uses dyn_port->vsi->idx to erase the dynamic
port from pf->dyn_ports. However, it frees the VSI before reading the
index for the erase, resulting in a use-after-free.
Follow the reverse of the allocation order in ice_alloc_dynamic_port()
by erasing the xarray entry before freeing the VSI. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix metadata_dst refcount handling on representor teardown
ice_eswitch_release_repr() uses metadata_dst_free() to release the
representor's metadata_dst. metadata_dst_free() directly frees the
underlying memory without checking the dst_entry refcount.
When ice_eswitch_port_start_xmit() processes a packet, it takes a
reference via dst_hold() and attaches the metadata_dst to the skb.
If the representor is torn down while packets are still queued on
the lower device (e.g. in a qdisc), the metadata_dst is freed while
references are still held.
Use dst_release() instead, which correctly decrements the refcount
and only frees the object when all references are dropped. The dst
subsystem already handles metadata_dst cleanup in dst_destroy() when
DST_METADATA is set.
Other drivers sharing this pattern (nfp, airoha, bnxt) already use
dst_release() for their metadata_dst lifecycle. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/net: populate CONNECT filter fields for 24-byte sockaddr_in6
io_connect_bpf_populate() fills connect.port and connect.v6_addr for
AF_INET6 only when addr_len >= sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6), i.e. 28
bytes.
The IPv6 connect paths accept SIN6_LEN_RFC2133 (24 bytes), which
already holds sin6_port and sin6_addr. io_connect() passes addr_len to
the socket layer unchanged.
At addr_len 24 the filter sees family AF_INET6 with port and address
zero, while the kernel connects to the real destination. A filter that
denies an IPv6 port or address is bypassed. Denying connect.port == P
rejects [::1]:P with -EACCES at addr_len 28 but connects at addr_len 24.
Use SIN6_LEN_RFC2133 as the threshold. sin6_scope_id stays zero when
absent.
The threshold mismatch was found by an AI coding assistant (Claude Code)
comparing this hook against the net/ipv6 length checks on my
instructions; it also drafted the reproducer and this patch. I verified
the bypass and the fix in a VM on 7.3-rc6 and that 7.2 has the same
code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6_gre: remove obsolete ERSPAN PMTU update
A tc tunnel_key action can attach a METADATA_IP_TUNNEL dst to an skb,
and mirred can redirect it to a native ip6erspan device. The legacy PMTU
update in ip6erspan_tunnel_xmit() treats that metadata dst as a route.
Since it has no output device, dst_dev(dst)->mtu dereferences NULL.
On v7.2 with KASAN, an initial UID/GID 65534 process with CapEff 0 used
self-created user and network namespaces to trigger:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref
RIP: ip6erspan_tunnel_xmit+0x10fc/0x2cc0
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
The update is obsolete. Commit fe1a4ca0a2b7 ("ip6_gre: process toobig
in a better way") changed IPv6 GRE Too Big handling to update the
underlay route and removed the equivalent block from __gre6_xmit().
ip6_tnl_xmit() then propagates the underlay PMTU to the overlay route.
Remove the stale ERSPAN copy and its now-unused dst variable. This
eliminates the metadata-dst dereference and keeps ERSPAN aligned with
IPv6 GRE PMTU handling. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KEYS: Fix add_key() race with keyring restriction
__key_create_or_update() snapshots keyring->restrict_link before taking
the destination keyring's semaphore. keyring_restrict() installs a
restriction while holding that semaphore.
This allows a writer to observe no restriction, wait for the keyring
owner to install a reject-all restriction and return successfully, and
then link a key using the stale NULL snapshot. The writer only needs
write permission on the destination keyring.
Move the restrict_link read after __key_link_lock() and
__key_link_begin(). The read and the subsequent restriction check are
then serialized with restriction installation by keyring->sem.
The race was reproduced on v7.2.8 in 19 executions where restriction
installation returned before the link completed. All 19 linked the key
despite the reject-all restriction. With this change, 312 executions
reached the same ordering and every add_key() call failed with -EPERM.
The issue was found by manual concurrency analysis assisted by AI-based
analysis and independently verified with a QEMU reproducer and kernel
instrumentation. |
