| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix NULL pmu_ctx passed to pmu->sched_task()
perf_pmu_sched_task() returns early when cpuctx->task_ctx is set, and
cpc->task_epc is only non-NULL while a task context is scheduled in on
this CPU. __perf_pmu_sched_task() therefore always passes NULL:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00
pc : armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50
Call trace:
armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50 (P)
perf_pmu_sched_task+0xac/0x108
__perf_event_task_sched_out+0x6c/0xe0
Pass &cpc->epc instead, the CPU-wide context for this PMU, which the
function already dereferences a few lines up to find pmu.
armv8pmu_sched_task() is the only in-tree implementation that
dereferences the argument, and it only reads ->pmu, so the oops needs
BRBE, added in v6.17. |

scsi: qla2xxx: Use memset_io() to clear QLAFX00 request ring slot
For QLAFX00 the request ring is ioremapped device I/O memory
(ha->iobase + req_que_off), not DMA-coherent RAM, which is why the rest
of the FX00 path accesses it through memcpy_toio() and the wrt_reg_*
helpers. __qla2x00_alloc_iocbs() however zeroed the producer slot with a
plain memset(). On architectures such as ARM64 a regular memset() may
emit unaligned or block-zeroing instructions (e.g. DC ZVA) that are
invalid on Device memory, leading to a synchronous external abort.
Use memset_io() to clear the slot for QLAFX00, matching the I/O
accessors used elsewhere on this ring. Other adapters keep the plain
memset() on their DMA-coherent rings. The zero-fill is retained for FX00
because its IOCB builders (e.g. qlafx00_fxdisc_iocb()) copy only part of
the entry and rely on the unused tail being pre-zeroed. |

bpf: check_cond_jmp_op(): properly infer if register is null
Nicholas Carlini reported a bug when verifier can incorrectly infer
that a pointer is non-null. The bug occurs when two pointers are
compared and one of them has a type w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag,
but which allows a value to be NULL at runtime.
Here is an example:
// `a` is PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED
// `a` is 0 at runtime.
// `b` is PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE | PTR_MAYBE_NULL
void *a = bpf_rdonly_cast(0, 0);
int *b = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...);
if (a == b)
*b = 42; // verifier does not catch null pointer dereference
This happens because of a special case in check_cond_jmp_op(),
which attempts to strip PTR_MAYBE_NULL flags from pointer types,
when processing comparisons like `rA == rB`, if either rA or rB can't
be null.
The non-null property is derived based on the absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag on rA's or rB's type. But that is not sufficient
for types like PTR_TO_MEM, as in the example.
This patch replaces type_may_be_null() call with reg_not_null(),
which contains an allowlist of types for which absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL actually means that the value can't be NULL at runtime.
At the moment, the list in the reg_not_null() omits two types for
which PTR_MAYBE_NULL is applicable: PTR_TO_XDP_SOCK and PTR_TO_BUF.
In order to remain backward compatible, and assuming that only
comparison between pointers of the same type makes sense,
this commit extends reg_not_null(). W/o such an extension e.g.
verifier_jeq_infer_not_null/null_ptr_to_map_value fails.
reg_not_null() can be extended further, but I deem that out of scope
for the fix at hand. Explicit base_type(...) != PTR_TO_BTF_ID
checks in the check_cond_jmp_op() can be removed with migration to
reg_not_null(), but that is a behavioural change, as the special case
would start matching for PTR_TO_BTF_ID that is also is_trusted_reg().
I omit the behavioural change from this commit. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Mark signal tracepoint siginfo arguments as scalar
The signal_generate and signal_deliver tracepoints declare their info
argument as a struct kernel_siginfo pointer. btf_ctx_access() therefore
treats it as a trusted pointer for tp_btf programs.
Signal delivery also uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO and SEND_SIG_PRIV as special
values for this argument. Those values are zero and one respectively,
and are not pointers. A tp_btf program can currently dereference either
value and fault the kernel. In particular, signal_generate can run from
timer interrupt context, turning the fault into a kernel panic.
Record both tracepoints in raw_tp_null_args[] and mark argument one as
a non-pointer. This preserves scalar access to the cookie while rejecting
direct and helper-mediated pointer use. Merely marking it nullable would
not suffice because SEND_SIG_PRIV is nonzero. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Don't infer non-NULL from a pointer with an unbounded offset
reg_not_null() decides that a register holds a non-NULL value by
looking at its type alone. For pointer types that allow arithmetic the
type only guarantees a non-NULL base, in case of an unbound offset
the runtime offset value might still add up to NULL.
Consider the followng program:
r6 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &0); /* present */
if (r6 == 0) return 0;
r7 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &1); /* absent, NULL at runtime */
r8 = r7;
r8 -= r6; /* pointer - pointer: unknown scalar, -r6 */
r8 <<= 1;
r8 >>= 1; /* any non-negative offset is accepted by */
/* check_reg_sane_offset_ptr() */
r6 += r8; /* verifier: map value; runtime: zero */
if (r7 != r6) return 0;
*(u8 *)(r7 + 0); /* r7 is inferred non-NULL, both are zero */
At runtime both registers are zero, the comparison is true and the
load faults with NULL pointer dereference.
Require the offset to be within +-BPF_MAX_VAR_OFF in reg_not_null(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Keep refcount_acquire nullable for borrowed RCU kptrs
bpf_refcount_acquire() is fallible for a borrowed reference because the
object may have reached a zero refcount. The verifier therefore keeps
KF_RET_NULL on the return value unless the argument is an owning reference.
An RCU-protected load of a local kptr is marked MEM_ALLOC, but it only
receives NON_OWN_REF when the pointee contains a graph node. A refcounted
object without a graph node consequently looks like an owning reference
even though the loaded register has no acquired reference state. If the
program drops the last real reference while remaining in the RCU critical
section, refcount_inc_not_zero() returns NULL while the verifier treats the
result as non-NULL.
Only classify the argument as owning when it is backed by a verifier-tracked
reference. This retains the non-NULL return for pointers from bpf_obj_new(),
bpf_kptr_xchg(), or an earlier successful acquisition, while requiring a
NULL check for borrowed RCU kptrs.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vduse: validate virtqueue alignment
vduse_validate_config() only checks the upper bound of vq_align. Invalid
values can therefore reach vring_create_virtqueue_map(). The split-ring
helpers use align - 1 as a bit mask, so the alignment must be a non-zero
power of two. A zero value makes vring_size() drop the descriptor and
available-ring part and vring_init() leave the used ring pointer NULL.
The VIRTIO spec requires the used ring to start at an address
aligned to at least 4 bytes. Reject values below VRING_USED_ALIGN_SIZE as
well as non-power-of-two values before they reach the virtio ring helpers.
Opening a virtio-net device created with vq_align=0 triggered:

Bluetooth: hci_sysfs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in device_del()
A NULL pointer dereference in klist_put() occurs when a child device (such
as a BNEP network device in bnep_session) is concurrently being
unregistered while hci_conn_del_sysfs() reparents child devices.
This is caused by a race condition between hci_conn_del_sysfs() and
concurrent child device unregistration (e.g. bnep_session calling
unregister_netdev()). During device unregistration, device_del() snapshots
a non-NULL parent pointer. Concurrently, hci_conn_del_sysfs() finds the
child device using device_find_any_child() and calls device_move() to
reparent it to NULL, which removes the node from its parent's klist and
clears knode_parent. Subsequently, device_del() calls
klist_del(&dev->p->knode_parent) using the stale parent snapshot, causing
klist_put() to dereference knode_klist(n)->put on an already removed node,
resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.
This race was introduced by commit 27aabf27fd01 ("Bluetooth: fix
use-after-free in device_for_each_child()"), which replaced
device_find_child(..., __match_tty) with device_find_any_child() in
hci_conn_del_sysfs(). That change was intended to avoid a use-after-free
where conn->dev outlived its parent hdev->dev when child devices held
references to conn->dev, because conn->dev only held a reference to
hdev->dev while registered in sysfs.
Fix the issue properly by taking an explicit reference to the parent device
with get_device(&hdev->dev) in hci_conn_init_sysfs() and dropping it with
put_device(parent) in bt_link_release() when the conn device is freed. This
ensures that hdev->dev remains valid for the entire lifecycle of conn->dev,
resolving the underlying use-after-free. With the parent reference held
properly, restore the __match_tty filter in hci_conn_del_sysfs() so that
device_move() is only invoked on persistent RFCOMM TTY devices as
originally intended, eliminating the race condition with unregistering
network devices. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: preserve LZMA decoders on resize failure
The pool-resize path frees each stream's old decoder before allocating
its replacement. If an allocation fails after some streams have already
been replaced, the failed stream is put back on the list with state ==
NULL. z_erofs_lzma_max_dictsize is still advanced as if the whole
pool had been resized.
An existing LZMA mount can select the broken stream and pass
NULL to xz_dec_microlzma_reset(). A retry at the same size also
skip another resize attempt. Since the global maximum was advanced,
thus, the invalid state is left unrepaired.
Allocate each replacement before freeing the old decoder, temporarily
retaining one old decoder during allocation. Stop at the first failure
and advance z_erofs_lzma_max_dictsize only after all streams satisfy
the request.
Record each stream's dictionary capacity so retries can skip streams
already enlarged before a partial failure. |

scsi: qla2xxx: Fix queue teardown NULL dma_free and bitmap locking
qla25xx_free_req_que() and qla25xx_free_rsp_que() have two pre-existing
bugs exposed on the error path of qla25xx_create_{req,rsp}_que():
1. When dma_alloc_coherent() fails during queue creation, the error
path calls the free function with req->ring / rsp->ring still NULL
(from kzalloc). The unconditional dma_free_coherent() with a NULL
cpu_addr is undefined behavior and can panic.
2. The free functions clear req_qid_map / rsp_qid_map under vport_lock,
but the create functions protect the same bitmaps with mq_lock.
This provides no mutual exclusion. Additionally, the create error
path clears the bit and releases mq_lock before calling the free
function, creating a window where another thread can allocate the
same que_id and have its ha->req_q_map entry clobbered by the
subsequent lockless NULL assignment in the free function.
Fix by:
- Guarding dma_free_coherent() with a NULL check on the ring pointer.
- Using mq_lock (the lock held by all creators) in the free functions
to atomically NULL the map entry and clear the bitmap bit.
- Removing the now-redundant clear_bit blocks from the create error
paths since the free functions handle it atomically. |

media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed from List
Possible use after free if IRQ thread manages to obtain spinlock between
m2m_ctx release and wave5_release function removing stream instance from
list of active instances. The IRQ thread looks for the m2m_ctx which is
freed so null pointer dereference occurs. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: 8250: protect against NULL uart->port.dev in register
serial8250_register_8250_port() conditionally copies uart->port.dev
from up->port.dev only when up->port.dev is non-NULL:
if (up->port.dev) {
uart->port.dev = up->port.dev;
...
}
So if both the existing uart slot and up have a NULL ->dev,
uart->port.dev remains NULL. The very next ACPI companion check
then dereferences it unconditionally:
if (!has_acpi_companion(uart->port.dev)) {
has_acpi_companion() reads dev->fwnode without a NULL guard
(include/linux/acpi.h), so this NULL-derefs the kernel for the
remaining no-dev case rather than just skipping the
mctrl_gpio_init() initialisation as intended.
smatch flags the inconsistency:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:767
serial8250_register_8250_port() error: 'uart->port.dev' could be
null (see line 719)
Guard the call with a NULL check so register continues to work
for callers that legitimately have no parent device (legacy
non-OF/non-ACPI registrations).
No functional change for callers that pass a non-NULL ->dev. |

mm/mm_init: handle alloc_percpu failure in free_area_init_core_hotplug
We miss a failed allocation check for pgdat->per_cpu_nodestats, which
results in a NULL deref when we offset into the per-cpu area.
Propagate -ENOMEM up the stack and leave per_cpu_nodestats pointing
at boot_nodestats so a later online can retry the allocation.
hotadd_init_pgdat() returns NULL on failure, which __try_online_node()
already maps to -ENOMEM.
On failure nothing needs to be unwound:
- the node is never marked online
- per_cpu_nodestats is left pointing at boot_nodestats
- __add_memory_resource() cleans up pending memblock resources
- later online attempts retry the per_cpu_nodestats allocation |

platform/x86: lg-laptop: Fix LED resource handling
The event notification callback might access kbd_backlight even
when it was not successfully registered with the LED subsystem.
The same happens inside acpi_remove(), where the LED devices are
unregistered unconditionally.
Fix this by tracking the availability of the kbd_backlight LED
device and use devm_led_classdev_register() to let devres take
care of unregistering the LED devices during removal. For this
the parent device of the LED devices is changed to the native
platform device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Publish channel state before callbacks
Transport setup can enable callbacks before the setup routine returns.
mailbox_chan_setup() registers the mailbox client with
mbox_request_channel(), and the mailbox controller startup path can enable
interrupt delivery before SCMI mailbox channel state has been published.
Similarly, smc_chan_setup() requests the optional A2P completion IRQ before
the SMC transport has made its cinfo pointer visible.
If a pending or spurious callback fires in those windows, the transport RX
callback can dereference a NULL transport cinfo pointer. Publishing only
the transport-private pointer is not sufficient either: an early callback
can enter the SCMI core before scmi_chan_setup() has assigned
cinfo->handle.
The core derives scmi_info from cinfo->handle in the RX path, so a NULL
handle can still fault even when the transport-private cinfo is valid.
Assign cinfo->handle before invoking the transport setup callback. Publish
the mailbox and SMC transport-private channel state before requesting the
mailbox channels or IRQ, and clear the early-published pointers again on
setup failure. Also unwind mailbox setup devres resources on failure so an
optional RX setup error that is ignored by the core does not leave stale
transport state behind. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: qcom: scm: Fix NULL dereference in IRQ handler before __scm is published
In qcom_scm_probe(), devm_request_threaded_irq() is called before
smp_store_release(&__scm, scm). Two paths can dereference __scm before
it is published, both causing a NULL pointer dereference.
The IRQ handler receives scm via its data argument but passes only wq_ctx
to qcom_scm_waitq_wakeup() and qcom_scm_get_completion(), which then
dereference __scm directly. Thread scm through both functions so the IRQ
handler path never touches __scm.
Non-atomic SMC calls made during probe (e.g. from qcom_tzmem_init via
qcom_scm_shm_bridge_enable) can return WAITQ_SLEEP, causing
qcom_scm_wait_for_wq_completion() to run before __scm is published and
dereference it. Add platform_set_drvdata(pdev, scm) early in probe and
change qcom_scm_wait_for_wq_completion() to take the device pointer and
use dev_get_drvdata() to reach scm, removing any dependency on __scm. |

wifi: brcmfmac: fix P2P action frame handling without device vif
Some P2P action frame paths assume the P2P device vif is always
available. That is not true when userspace sends non-P2P public action
frames through the primary interface, or when action-frame abort runs
after the P2P device vif has not been created.
Fall back to the primary vif when aborting an action frame without a P2P
device vif, and guard P2P device saved IE access before using it for
peer channel search. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: core: do fallible allocations before the console can be registered
serial_core_add_one_port() allocates uport->tty_groups after
uart_configure_port(), which may register the console. If the allocation
fails, the driver unwinds the port while its console remains registered.
The earlier uport->name allocation has a related failure path that leaves
state->uart_port linked to a port being freed.
Failslab reproduced a NULL dereference in PL011 console output and a KASAN
use-after-free in i.MX console output after failed binds.
Allocate the name and tty_groups before linking the port and configuring
it. Reserve space for the optional driver attribute group because
config_port() may populate uport->attr_group during configuration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: skip cdev_del() when no cdev is registered
TTY device registration can fail before a cdev is allocated.
Serial core keeps the port so setserial can still use it, and later
removal passes the NULL cdev slot to cdev_del(), causing a NULL-pointer
dereference.
Only delete the cdev when the slot is not NULL. |
