scsi: qla2xxx: Unlink NVMe unsol ctx before freeing on LS reject error

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Unlink NVMe unsol ctx before freeing on LS reject error qla_nvme_xmt_ls_rsp() obtains uctx, which was linked into fcport->unsol_ctx_head by qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() and is still linked when the NVMe transport calls back to transmit the LS response. On the error (out:) path the function frees uctx with kfree() but never removes it from the list. This leaves a freed node in fcport->unsol_ctx_head: the next list_add_tail() for that fcport writes through the freed node, and a subsequent list_del() can corrupt the list or panic. Unlink uctx with list_del() before kfree() on the error path, matching the other free sites in qla_nvme_release_lsrsp_cmd_kref() and qla2xxx_process_purls_pkt(). qla2x00_rel_sp() in the failure path only returns the SRB to its pool and does not invoke sp->put_fn, so the out: path is the sole free and uctx is always still linked there.

wifi: mac80211: don't call ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure when not needed

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: don't call ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure when not needed In case reconfiguration of NAN fails, we call ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure, that marks all interfaces as not in the driver. Then, at the error path of the reconfig, cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces is called to destroy all the interfaces. If we have any other interface but the NAN one, for example a BSS station, then when its state (links, stations) will be removed, we won't tell the driver about this, because we will think that the interfaces are not in the driver, and then drivers might remain with dangling pointers to objects like stations and links (at least for iwlwifi this is the case). ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure is meant to be called after we cleaned up the state in the driver, there is no reason to call it for NAN reconfiguration failure. Fix the code to just warn in such a case, as we do in other error paths in reconfig where it is too complicated to rewind.

wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix P2P-Device binding handling

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix P2P-Device binding handling Our binding handling for P2P-Device can run into the following scenario, as observed by our testing: - a station interface is connected on some channel - the P2P-Device does a remain-on-channel (ROC) on that channel - the ROC ends, and the P2P-Device is removed from the binding, but the phy_ctxt pointer is left around as a PHY cache so we don't need to recalibrate to the channel again and again in case it's not shared - a binding update by the station interface, even a removal, will re-add the P2P-Device to the binding - the P2P-Device is removed, which removes the PHY context, but it's still in the binding so the firmware crashes Since the P2P device is removed from the binding and only re- added by unrelated code, but we want to keep the phy_ctxt around as a cache for future ROC usage, fix it by adding a boolean that indicates whether or not the P2P-Device should be added to the binding, and handle that in the binding iterator. That way, the station interface cannot re-add the P2P-Device to the binding when that isn't active.

pds_core: quiesce DMA before freeing resources

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pds_core: quiesce DMA before freeing resources pdsc_teardown() frees DMA buffers but does not disable bus mastering, leaving the device able to perform DMA after the buffers are freed. This can lead to use-after-free if the device writes to freed memory. Add pci_clear_master() to pdsc_teardown() to disable bus mastering before freeing resources, ensuring all DMA is quiesced. Add pci_set_master() to pdsc_setup() to re-enable bus mastering, which is needed for the firmware recovery path since pdsc_teardown() now disables it.

dibs: fix use-after-free of dmb_node in loopback attach/detach/unregister

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dibs: fix use-after-free of dmb_node in loopback attach/detach/unregister dibs_lo_attach_dmb(), dibs_lo_detach_dmb() and dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() look up the dmb_node under dmb_ht_lock, drop the lock and only then operate on the node's refcount. Nothing keeps the node alive across that window: __dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() removes the node from the hash table under the write lock and immediately frees it. A concurrent final put can therefore free the node between the lookup and the refcount operation: CPU0 (attach) CPU1 (owner unregisters) read_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock) find dmb_node (refcnt == 1) read_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock) refcount_dec_and_test() 1 -> 0 write_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock) hash_del(&dmb_node->list) write_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock) kfree(dmb_node) refcount_inc_not_zero(&dmb_node->refcnt) <-- use-after-free The same window exists for the refcount_dec_and_test() calls in the detach and unregister paths. Close the race structurally by making hash table membership and the refcount transitions atomic with respect to each other: - Perform the final refcount_dec_and_test() and hash_del() in a single dmb_ht_lock write-side critical section, in both the unregister and the detach path. Freeing the node still happens after the lock is dropped, which is safe because a node whose refcount reached zero has left the hash table and can no longer be found. - This establishes the invariant that any node found in the hash table holds at least one reference, and that the final reference can only be dropped under the write lock. dibs_lo_attach_dmb() can thus take its reference with a plain refcount_inc() while still holding the read lock; refcount_inc_not_zero() is no longer needed. __dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() no longer touches the hash table and is renamed to dibs_lo_free_dmb() accordingly. Note: commit cc21191b584c ("dibs: Move data path to dibs layer") moved the code to its current location; the race was introduced earlier by commit c3a910f2380f ("net/smc: implement DMB-merged operations of loopback-ism"). Tested SMC-D via ISM and dibs loopback.

bpf: Clear rb node linkage when freeing bpf_rb_root

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Clear rb node linkage when freeing bpf_rb_root bpf_rb_root_free() detaches the root by copying the current rb_root_cached and then replacing the live root with RB_ROOT_CACHED. It then walks the copied root and drops each object contained in the tree. This leaves the rb node state intact while dropping the object. If the object is refcounted and survives the drop, its bpf_rb_node_kern still contains an owner pointer to the freed root and stale rb tree linkage. If a later bpf_rb_root allocation reuses the same address, bpf_rbtree_remove() can incorrectly pass the owner check and call rb_erase_cached() on a node whose rb pointers belong to the old tree. Mirror the list draining behavior by marking nodes as busy while the root is being detached, then clear the rb node and release the owner before dropping the containing object. This makes surviving nodes unowned and safe to reject from remove or accept for a later add.

pds_core: fix use-after-free on workqueue during remove

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pds_core: fix use-after-free on workqueue during remove In pdsc_remove(), the workqueue is destroyed before pdsc_teardown() is called. This ordering allows two paths to queue work on the destroyed workqueue: 1. If pdsc_teardown() -> pdsc_devcmd_reset() times out, the error path in pdsc_devcmd_locked() queues health_work. 2. A NotifyQ event can trigger the ISR and queue work before free_irq() is called in pdsc_teardown(). Fix by moving destroy_workqueue() after pdsc_teardown() so the workqueue outlives every queuer; destroy_workqueue() then flushes any work still pending. Draining the queued work also requires ordering the teardown so the resources that work touches are freed last: - In pdsc_qcq_free(), after freeing the interrupt, cancel_work_sync() the queue's work and only then clear qcq->intx, so pdsc_process_adminq()'s read of qcq->intx for interrupt-credit return cannot race with the clear. - Free adminqcq before notifyqcq: the shared adminq ISR is released when adminqcq is freed, and the adminq work accesses notifyqcq, so both must be stopped before notifyqcq is freed.

wifi: mac80211: capture fast-RX rate before mesh reuses skb->cb

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: capture fast-RX rate before mesh reuses skb->cb ieee80211_invoke_fast_rx() reads RX status through IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb), which aliases the same skb->cb storage that ieee80211_rx_mesh_data() reuses as IEEE80211_TX_INFO. In the unicast forward path, mesh_data does: info = IEEE80211_SKB_CB(fwd_skb); memset(info, 0, sizeof(*info)); on the same skb the caller still names via rx->skb, then either queues the skb for TX (success) or kfree_skb()'s it (no-route) before returning RX_QUEUED. The caller's RX_QUEUED arm then calls sta_stats_encode_rate(status) on memory that is either zeroed (success path) or freed (no-route path). The latter is KASAN slab-use-after-free in ieee80211_prepare_and_rx_handle. Fix by encoding the rate from status before invoking ieee80211_rx_mesh_data(), so the RX_QUEUED arm consumes a value captured while status was still backed by valid memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix setup list UAF on proc write error snd_pcm_oss_proc_write() links a newly allocated setup entry into the OSS setup list before duplicating the task name. If the task-name allocation fails, the error path frees the already linked entry and leaves setup_list pointing at freed memory. A later OSS device open can then walk the stale list entry in snd_pcm_oss_look_for_setup() and dereference freed memory. Allocate the task name and initialize the setup entry before publishing the entry on setup_list. Also fetch the initial proc read iterator only after taking setup_mutex, so all setup_list traversal follows the same list lifetime rules.

HID: universal-pidff: stop the device when force-feedback init fails

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: universal-pidff: stop the device when force-feedback init fails universal_pidff_probe() starts the device with hid_hw_start() and then, if force-feedback initialisation fails, returns the error through a label that only does "return error". The device is left started. The HID core does not unwind on the driver's behalf. __hid_device_probe() releases the devres group, closes the report and clears hdev->driver: if (ret) { devres_release_group(&hdev->dev, hdev->devres_group_id); hid_close_report(hdev); hdev->driver = NULL; } The hidraw character device that hid_hw_start() registered through hid_connect() is allocated with kzalloc() and added with cdev_device_add(), so it is not devres-managed and survives that. With hdev->driver NULL, hid_device_remove() skips hid_hw_stop() as well, because it only unwinds while a driver is still attached. The registration therefore outlives the device on both paths. Opening the surviving /dev/hidrawX writes into freed memory. KASAN reports a use-after-free write from hidraw_open() -> hid_hw_open() -> the transport's open callback, which takes a spinlock inside the freed object. A descriptor that carries a PID usage page and no input reports is enough: hidraw claims the device so hid_hw_start() succeeds, while hid->inputs stays empty so force-feedback init fails. The other failure returns in hid_pidff_init_with_quirks() - no output reports, an allocation failure, pidff_init_fields(), pidff_check_autocenter(), an unusable effect count, input_ff_create() - all reach the same label. Stop the device on that path. hid-dr.c and hid-emsff.c, which start the device with the same HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT & ~HID_CONNECT_FF mask, already do this. The two earlier gotos must keep returning without hid_hw_stop(), since neither has a started device, so give the path that fails after the start its own label.

Any subsequent dereference of sc_cm_id -- such as svc_rdma_detach()'s rdma_disconnect() call -- is a use-after-free. NULL sc_cm_id on the failure path and guard svc_rdma_detach()'s rdma_disconnect() call against NULL so that the listener can be torn down safely when the server shuts down.

power: supply: qcom_battmgr: fix use-after-free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: qcom_battmgr: fix use-after-free qcom_battmgr_pdr_notify() queues enable_work when the PMIC GLINK service comes up, and the worker recovers battmgr through container_of() to issue firmware requests. The PMIC GLINK client stays on the client list until its devres release action runs, so a PDR notification can keep queueing the work, and a pending or running worker can access battmgr after devres frees it. Make enable_work device-managed with devm_work_autocancel(), registered before the PMIC GLINK client is allocated. The devres cleanup then releases the client first, so no further notification can queue the work, and cancels the work before battmgr is freed. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject pkt arguments in mutating subprogs The verifier tracks changes in how PTR_TO_PACKET registers' bounds are modified across subprog boundaries. PTR_TO_PACKET registers are actually passed as PTR_TO_MEM, which is assumed valid for the entire call. This is not the case with packet memory, where a pskb_* call may invalidate its memory region. Reject BPF code that passes PTR_TO_PACKET pointers to subprogs that may mutate a packet. We cannot pass the pointer as a true PTR_TO_PACKET because we would also need to somehow pass the PTR_TO_PACKET_META or PTR_TO_PACKET_END to the subprog. Since we cannot avoid representing the pointer in the subprog as PTR_TO_MEM, only permit it if the subprog is guaranteed not to mutate the packet.

nfc: llcp: Fix race condition in accept_queue lifecycle

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: Fix race condition in accept_queue lifecycle In nfc_llcp_socket_release(), sockets and listener accept queues are walked under the local sockets rwlock and bh_lock_sock(). However, bh_lock_sock() does not synchronise against process-context lock_sock() held by nfc_llcp_accept_dequeue() during accept(). Because socket_release() does not check sock_owned_by_user(), both paths can concurrently unlink and release the same child socket, resulting in use-after-free or a NULL pointer dereference of child->parent in nfc_llcp_accept_unlink(). Fix this synchronisation race by having nfc_llcp_socket_release() use process-context lock_sock() instead of bh_lock_sock(): 1. Pop sockets from the local sockets list under the write lock using nfc_llcp_sock_list_pop() so lock_sock() can be acquired without holding the rwlock. 2. Because lock_sock() can sleep, defer the final release of the nfc_llcp_local structure to a workqueue (release_work). This avoids a sleeping-in-atomic bug when the last local reference is dropped from softirq context. Additionally, hold a single device reference on local from registration until final destruction. 3. In nfc_llcp_local_get(), use kref_get_unless_zero() to prevent resurrecting a local object whose teardown has been scheduled. 4. In llcp_sock_accept(), verify that the listener socket state is still LLCP_LISTEN after waking from schedule_timeout() to prevent hangs if the listener is closed concurrently. 5. When unlinking unaccepted child sockets during listener release, unlink them from local->sockets, call sock_orphan(), and drop their initial sk_alloc creation reference via sock_put(). 6. Make nfc_llcp_accept_unlink() idempotent by guarding parent access with a NULL check.
