CVSS v3.1 |
| When the JAIL_AT_DESC flag is specified, kern_jail_set() and kern_jail_get() released the reference to the caller's current prison before looking up the jail descriptor. If the descriptor lookup failed, error-handling paths released the same reference a second time.
An unprivileged local user can trigger a prison reference count underflow, which may cause the prison structure to be freed while still in use. When this is done on the jail host, the bug will generally result in an immediate panic. However, if the user is running in a jail, then it may be possible to exploit the bug to elevate privileges. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: account pKVM reclaim against the VM mm
Protected guest faults charge long term pins to the VM's mm. Teardown
can run later from file release, where current->mm may be unrelated.
Drop the charge from kvm->mm instead. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Charge unstable writes by request size, not folio size
nfs_folio_mark_unstable() and nfs_folio_clear_commit() charge and
uncharge NR_WRITEBACK/WB_WRITEBACK by folio_nr_pages(folio) once per
*request* added to or removed from a commit list. This is correct only
when a folio has a single associated request. When pg_test splits a
folio into N sub-folio requests (e.g. pNFS flexfiles striping with a
stripe unit smaller than the folio size, or plain wsize-limited
splitting), each of the N requests independently charges the whole
folio's page count, inflating the accounting by a factor of N per
folio. With large folios and small stripe units this reaches multiple
orders of magnitude: a 2 MiB folio split into 512 4 KiB requests can
charge up to 512x its real size, pushing global dirty+writeback
accounting past the system's dirty threshold and forcing every
buffered writer on the host into the hard-throttle path, including
unrelated in-kernel NFS server threads sharing the box.
Charge each request only for the pages it actually covers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: charger-manager: fix refcount leak in is_full_charged()
In is_full_charged(), power_supply_get_by_name() is called to
obtain a reference to the fuel_gauge power supply. If the
voltage check (uV >= desc->fullbatt_uV) succeeds, the function
returns true directly without releasing the reference, leaking
the refcount.
Fix this by setting a flag and jumping to the out label where
power_supply_put() properly drops the reference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: pci: Fix GISC refcount leak on AIF enable failure
kvm_s390_gisc_register() registers the guest ISC before pinning
the guest interrupt forwarding pages and allocating the AISB bit.
If any of the later setup steps fails, the function unwinds the
pinned pages and other local state, but does not unregister the
GISC reference. Add the missing kvm_s390_gisc_unregister() to the
error unwind path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock/virtio: fix zerocopy completion for multi-skb sends
When a large message is fragmented into multiple skbs, the zerocopy
uarg is only allocated and attached to the last skb in the loop.
Non-final skbs carry pinned user pages with no completion tracking,
so the kernel has no way to notify userspace when those pages are safe
to reuse. If the loop breaks early the uarg is never allocated at all,
leaking pinned pages with no completion notification.
Fix this by following the approach used by TCP: allocate the zerocopy
uarg (if not provided by the caller) before the send loop and attach
it to every skb via skb_zcopy_set(), which takes a reference per skb.
Each skb's completion properly decrements the refcount, and the
notification only fires after the last skb is freed.
On failure, if no data was sent, the uarg is cleanly aborted via
net_zcopy_put_abort().
This issue was initially discovered by sashiko while reviewing commit
1cb36e252211 ("vsock/virtio: fix MSG_ZEROCOPY pinned-pages accounting")
but was pre-existing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() in suspend
Replace pm_runtime_get_sync() with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() to
simplify error handling. pm_runtime_resume_and_get() automatically
drops the usage counter on failure, avoiding the need for a separate
pm_runtime_put_noidle() call. If it fails, the device is unclocked and
accessing hardware registers would cause a kernel panic, so return the
error immediately. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: fix SAP refcount leak in llc_ui_autobind()
llc_ui_autobind() opens a SAP after choosing a dynamic LSAP.
llc_sap_open() returns a reference owned by the caller, and
llc_sap_add_socket() takes a second reference for the socket's
membership in the SAP hash tables.
llc_ui_bind() drops the caller's reference after adding the socket,
but llc_ui_autobind() keeps it. When the socket is closed,
llc_sap_remove_socket() releases only the socket reference, leaving
the SAP on llc_sap_list with sk_count == 0.
This is user-visible because repeated autobind and close cycles can consume
all dynamic SAP values and make later autobinds fail with -EUSERS.
Drop the caller's reference after a successful autobind, matching
llc_ui_bind()'s ownership model. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Fix missing dirty page tracking in {pte,pmd}_wrprotect()
When hardware page table walker (PTW) is enabled on LoongArch, the CPU
may set _PAGE_DIRTY directly in the page table entry during a write TLB
miss, without going through the software TLB store handler. The software
TLB store handler (tlbex.S:254) sets both _PAGE_DIRTY and_PAGE_MODIFIED
together:
ori t0, t0, (_PAGE_VALID | _PAGE_DIRTY | _PAGE_MODIFIED)
Since hardware PTW only sets _PAGE_DIRTY, the software-only bit, i.e.
_PAGE_MODIFIED is left unchanged. This creates a window where a PTE has
_PAGE_DIRTY set (hardware knows the page is dirty) but _PAGE_MODIFIED
clear (software is unaware).
When fork()/clone() triggers copy-on-write, __copy_present_ptes() calls
pte_wrprotect(), which unconditionally clears both the _PAGE_WRITE and
_PAGE_DIRTY bits:
pte_val(pte) &= ~(_PAGE_WRITE | _PAGE_DIRTY);
Since _PAGE_MODIFIED was never set, the dirtiness information is lost
completely. Subsequently, when memory pressure triggers page reclaim,
page_mkclean() / try_to_unmap() sees the page as clean (i.e. pte_dirty()
returns false) and the page may be freed without writeback, causing data
corruption.
Fix this by propagating the _PAGE_DIRTY bit to the _PAGE_MODIFIED bit in
both pte_wrprotect() and pmd_wrprotect() before clearing writeable bits:
if (pte_val(pte) & _PAGE_DIRTY)
pte_val(pte) |= _PAGE_MODIFIED;
The pmd_wrprotect() fix handles the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE case,
where pmd entries need the same treatment.
This ensures the software dirty tracking bit (checked by pte_dirty() and
pmd_dirty(), which read both the _PAGE_DIRTY and _PAGE_MODIFIED bits) is
preserved across fork COW write-protection.
The issue was found by the LTP madvise09 test case, which exercises page
reclaim after "madvise(MADV_FREE), write and fork" operation sequence on
private anonymous mappings. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: qcom: clear opened when stream enable fails
On enable, subs->opened is set before the service_interval is validated;
an invalid interval jumps to the response label without clearing it, so
the substream is wedged at -EBUSY until a disable or disconnect.
Clear subs->opened on the enable error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix QID bit leak in pqm_create_queue()
When MES is enabled and amdgpu_amdkfd_alloc_kernel_mem() fails during
the first queue creation for a process, pqm_create_queue() returns
early via 'return retval' without going through the err_create_queue
cleanup label.
This means clear_bit(*qid, pqm->queue_slot_bitmap) is never called,
leaving the reserved QID bit permanently set in queue_slot_bitmap.
Over time this leaks QID slots, potentially exhausting all available
queue slots.
Fix this by replacing 'return retval' with 'goto err_allocate_pqn'
so that clear_bit() is always called on the error path without
touching the uninitialized pqn pointer.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: xen: scsiback: Free unsubmitted command instead of double-putting it
scsiback_get_pend_req() obtains a command tag and returns a vscsibk_pend
whose embedded se_cmd has only been memset to 0, so its cmd_kref is 0;
the se_cmd is initialised (kref_init() via target_init_cmd()) only
later, in scsiback_cmd_exec(), on the successful VSCSIIF_ACT_SCSI_CDB
path. The two error paths in scsiback_do_cmd_fn() taken before the
command is submitted -- a failed scsiback_gnttab_data_map() and an
unknown ring_req.act -- call
transport_generic_free_cmd(&pending_req->se_cmd, 0), which kref_put()s a
refcount of 0. That underflows it ("refcount_t: underflow;
use-after-free") and, as the release function is not run, leaks the
command tag.
Impact: a pvSCSI guest can leak every command tag of a LUN's session,
stopping the LUN, by submitting requests with a bad grant reference or
an unknown request type; under panic_on_warn the refcount underflow
panics the host.
Add a helper that just returns the tag with target_free_tag() and sends
the error response. It frees the tag while the v2p reference still pins
the session, and snapshots the response fields beforehand because
freeing the tag can let another ring reuse the pending_req slot. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
When mlxsw_sp_port_lag_index_get() fails, mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
returns an error without releasing the lag reference obtained by
the earlier mlxsw_sp_lag_get(). All other error paths in the
function jump to the cleanup label that ends with
mlxsw_sp_lag_put(), so this is a single missed release.
Fix the leak by replacing the bare 'return err' with a goto to the
existing error cleanup label, which will drop the reference safely. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: fix refcount leak in nvmet_sq_create()
In nvmet_sq_create(), a reference on the ctrl is taken
via kref_get_unless_zero() before calling nvmet_check_sqid().
If nvmet_check_sqid() fails, the function returns the error
directly without releasing the reference, leading to a leak.
Fix this by jumping to the "ctrl_put" label, which already
performs the necessary nvmet_ctrl_put(ctrl). This ensures the
reference is properly released on this error path. |

smb: client: fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO
Commit c68337442f03 ("cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting") fixed
the issue in cifs where deferred close of a file led to a dentry reference
count not being released in umount, by flushing deferredclose_wq in
cifs_kill_sb() to solve it.
However, the cifs DIO path suffers from the same busy-dentry problem caused
by a delayed dentry reference-count release:

If the umount path is triggered before [5], it results warning:
BUG: Dentry 00000000eab1f070{i=9a917b66ae404fec,n=test} still in use (1)
[unmount of cifs cifs]
The existing per-inode ictx->io_count wait in cifs_evict_inode() does not
help: it lives in the inode eviction path, which runs after
shrink_dcache_for_umount() has already warned about the busy dentries.
Fix it by adding a per-superblock outstanding-rreq counter that is
incremented in cifs_init_request() and decremented in cifs_free_request().
In cifs_kill_sb(), before kill_anon_super(), wait for this counter to reach
0 - which guarantees that all cleanup_work for this sb have run and thus
all relevant cfile puts are queued on fileinfo_put_wq or serverclose_wq.
Then drain the workqueue so the dentry refs are dropped.
This is a targeted wait, not a flush of the system-wide system_dfl_wq. |

ipv6: mcast: Fix potential UAF in MLD delayed work
A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query
processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work.
During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped,
which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory
is deferred via RCU.
Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains
the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can
safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.
However, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled.
When the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.
Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: avoid leaking the caller's thread keyring via the table device file
The refactoring in commit a28d893eb327 ("md: port block device access to file")
accidentally causes the caller's thread keyring to be kept alive long
beyond the caller's lifetime.
As a result, "cryptsetup luksSuspend" silently fails to wipe the
LUKS volume key from memory.
In detail: "cryptsetup luksOpen" uses its supposedly ephemeral thread
keyring to pass the volume key to the kernel. dm-crypt's
crypt_set_keyring_key() copies the key material into its own
crypt_config structure and then drops its own reference to the key in
the keyring with key_put().
With this fix, restoring pre-v6.9 behavior, the copy in the thread
keyring is then promptly garbage collected, such that exactly one copy
of the volume key remains. This single copy is correctly wiped from
memory on "cryptsetup luksSuspend".
Without this fix, the thread keyring and the volume key in it remains.
This second copy is only freed on "luksClose". "luksSuspend" neither
knows about this copy nor has any way to remove it, so the key remains
recoverable from RAM after a suspend that is documented to have wiped it.
This fix should not introduce new security problems, as the code is
anyway gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The device-mapper core, not the calling
task, is the legitimate owner of this long-lived file. |

drm/msm/adreno: Fix a reference leak in a6xx_gpu_init()
In a6xx_gpu_init(), node is obtained via of_parse_phandle().
While there was a manual of_node_put() at the end of the
common path, several early error returns would bypass this call,
resulting in a reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup handler to
release the reference when the variable goes out of scope.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix writes_pending leak on write request failures
raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with
md_write_start() before dispatching write requests. Several failure
paths in raid10_write_request() complete the bio and return without
reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding
md_write_end() to be skipped.
Make raid10_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write
request was successfully queued. This allows raid10_make_request() to
release the writes_pending reference with md_write_end() when a write
request fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: igmp: Fix potential memory leaks in igmp_mod_timer() and igmp_stop_timer()
When a timer is deleted and not re-armed in igmp_mod_timer(), or stopped
in igmp_stop_timer(), the code currently decrements the reference counter
of the multicast list entry @im using refcount_dec(&im->refcnt).
However, both functions can be called from the RCU reader path:
- igmp_mod_timer() via igmp_heard_query() -> for_each_pmc_rcu()
- igmp_stop_timer() via igmp_rcv() -> igmp_heard_report()
If the group im was concurrently removed from the list by ip_mc_dec_group(),
its reference count might have already been decremented to 1.
In this case, timer_delete() succeeds, and refcount_dec() decrements
the refcount from 1 to 0. Since refcount_dec() does not free the object
when it hits 0 (unlike ip_ma_put()), the im structure is leaked.
Fix this by using ip_ma_put(im) instead of refcount_dec(&im->refcnt),
and deferring the put until after the spinlock is released. |
