| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: zynq-ipi: fix error handling while device_register() fails
If device_register() fails, it has two issues:
1. The name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked.
2. The parent of device is not NULL, device_unregister() is called
in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes(), it will lead a kernel crash because
of removing not added device.
Call put_device() to give up the reference, so the name is freed in
kobject_cleanup(). Add device registered check in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes()
to avoid null-ptr-deref. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: kill hooked chains to avoid loops on deduplicated compressed images
After heavily stressing EROFS with several images which include a
hand-crafted image of repeated patterns for more than 46 days, I found
two chains could be linked with each other almost simultaneously and
form a loop so that the entire loop won't be submitted. As a
consequence, the corresponding file pages will remain locked forever.
It can be _only_ observed on data-deduplicated compressed images.
For example, consider two chains with five pclusters in total:
Chain 1: 2->3->4->5 -- The tail pcluster is 5;
Chain 2: 5->1->2 -- The tail pcluster is 2.
Chain 2 could link to Chain 1 with pcluster 5; and Chain 1 could link
to Chain 2 at the same time with pcluster 2.
Since hooked chains are all linked locklessly now, I have no idea how
to simply avoid the race. Instead, let's avoid hooked chains completely
until I could work out a proper way to fix this and end users finally
tell us that it's needed to add it back.
Actually, this optimization can be found with multi-threaded workloads
(especially even more often on deduplicated compressed images), yet I'm
not sure about the overall system impacts of not having this compared
with implementation complexity. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: marvell/octeontx - prevent integer overflows
The "code_length" value comes from the firmware file. If your firmware
is untrusted realistically there is probably very little you can do to
protect yourself. Still we try to limit the damage as much as possible.
Also Smatch marks any data read from the filesystem as untrusted and
prints warnings if it not capped correctly.
The "code_length * 2" can overflow. The round_up(ucode_size, 16) +
sizeof() expression can overflow too. Prevent these overflows. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: omap_hsmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value,
it will lead two issues:
1. The memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() is leaked.
2. In the remove() path, mmc_remove_host() will be called to
delete device, but it's not added yet, it will lead a kernel
crash because of null-ptr-deref in device_del().
Fix this by checking the return value and goto error path wihch
will call mmc_free_host(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: ocxl: fix possible name leak in ocxl_file_register_afu()
If device_register() returns error in ocxl_file_register_afu(),
the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment
of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give
up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(),
and info is freed in info_release(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: fix possible memory leak in stmmac_dvr_probe()
The bitmap_free() should be called to free priv->af_xdp_zc_qps
when create_singlethread_workqueue() fails, otherwise there will
be a memory leak, so we add the err path error_wq_init to fix it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seccomp: Move copy_seccomp() to no failure path.
Our syzbot instance reported memory leaks in do_seccomp() [0], similar
to the report [1]. It shows that we miss freeing struct seccomp_filter
and some objects included in it.
We can reproduce the issue with the program below [2] which calls one
seccomp() and two clone() syscalls.
The first clone()d child exits earlier than its parent and sends a
signal to kill it during the second clone(), more precisely before the
fatal_signal_pending() test in copy_process(). When the parent receives
the signal, it has to destroy the embryonic process and return -EINTR to
user space. In the failure path, we have to call seccomp_filter_release()
to decrement the filter's refcount.
Initially, we called it in free_task() called from the failure path, but
the commit 3a15fb6ed92c ("seccomp: release filter after task is fully
dead") moved it to release_task() to notify user space as early as possible
that the filter is no longer used.
To keep the change and current seccomp refcount semantics, let's move
copy_seccomp() just after the signal check and add a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
free_task() for future debugging.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ipw2200: fix memory leak in ipw_wdev_init()
In the error path of ipw_wdev_init(), exception value is returned, and
the memory applied for in the function is not released. Also the memory
is not released in ipw_pci_probe(). As a result, memory leakage occurs.
So memory release needs to be added to the error path of ipw_wdev_init(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: smsm: Fix refcount leak bugs in qcom_smsm_probe()
There are two refcount leak bugs in qcom_smsm_probe():
(1) The 'local_node' is escaped out from for_each_child_of_node() as
the break of iteration, we should call of_node_put() for it in error
path or when it is not used anymore.
(2) The 'node' is escaped out from for_each_available_child_of_node()
as the 'goto', we should call of_node_put() for it in goto target. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: i2c: tc358743: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by orphan timer in probe
The state->timer is a cyclic timer that schedules work_i2c_poll and
delayed_work_enable_hotplug, while rearming itself. Using timer_delete()
fails to guarantee the timer isn't still running when destroyed, similarly
cancel_delayed_work() cannot ensure delayed_work_enable_hotplug has
terminated if already executing. During probe failure after timer
initialization, these may continue running as orphans and reference the
already-freed tc358743_state object through tc358743_irq_poll_timer.
The following is the trace captured by KASAN.

Replace timer_delete() with timer_delete_sync() and cancel_delayed_work()
with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure proper termination of timer and
work items before resource cleanup.
This bug was initially identified through static analysis. For reproduction
and testing, I created a functional emulation of the tc358743 device via a
kernel module and introduced faults through the debugfs interface. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwrng: geode - Fix PCI device refcount leak
for_each_pci_dev() is implemented by pci_get_device(). The comment of
pci_get_device() says that it will increase the reference count for the
returned pci_dev and also decrease the reference count for the input
pci_dev @from if it is not NULL.
If we break for_each_pci_dev() loop with pdev not NULL, we need to call
pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count. We add a new struct
'amd_geode_priv' to record pointer of the pci_dev and membase, and then
add missing pci_dev_put() for the normal and error path. |

isdn: mISDN: hfcsusb: fix memory leak in hfcsusb_probe()
In hfcsusb_probe(), the memory allocated for ctrl_urb gets leaked when
setup_instance() fails with an error code. Fix that by freeing the urb
before freeing the hw structure. Also change the error paths to use the
goto ladder style.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool. |

cpufreq: qcom: fix memory leak in error path
If for some reason the speedbin length is incorrect, then there is a
memory leak in the error path because we never free the speedbin buffer.
This commit fixes the error path to always free the speedbin buffer. |

riscv: mm: add missing memcpy in kasan_init
Hi Atish,
It seems that the panic is due to the missing memcpy during kasan_init.
Could you please check whether this patch is helpful?
When doing kasan_populate, the new allocated base_pud/base_p4d should
contain kasan_early_shadow_{pud, p4d}'s content. Add the missing memcpy
to avoid page fault when read/write kasan shadow region.
Tested on:
- qemu with sv57 and CONFIG_KASAN on.
- qemu with sv48 and CONFIG_KASAN on. |

net/mlx5: Fix double unregister of HCA_PORTS component
Clear hca_devcom_comp in device's private data after unregistering it in
LAG teardown. Otherwise a slightly lagging second pass through
mlx5_unload_one() might try to unregister it again and trip over

On s390 almost all PCI level recovery events trigger two passes through
mxl5_unload_one() - one through the poll_health() method and one through
mlx5_pci_err_detected() as callback from generic PCI error recovery.

enabled, this issue reproducibly led to kernel panics with the following

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: atmel-mci: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value,
it will lead two issues:
1. The memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() is leaked.
2. In the remove() path, mmc_remove_host() will be called to
delete device, but it's not added yet, it will lead a kernel
crash because of null-ptr-deref in device_del().
So fix this by checking the return value and calling mmc_free_host()
in the error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: zero out stale pointers
`cros_typec_get_switch_handles` allocates four pointers when obtaining
type-c switch handles. These pointers are all freed if failing to obtain
any of them; therefore, pointers in `port` become stale. The stale
pointers eventually cause use-after-free or double free in later code
paths. Zeroing out all pointer fields after freeing to eliminate these
stale pointers. |
