vmw_balloon: indicate success when effectively deflating during migration
When migrating a balloon page, we first deflate the old page to then
inflate the new page.
However, if inflating the new page succeeded, we effectively deflated the
old page, reducing the balloon size.
In that case, the migration actually worked: similar to migrating+
immediately deflating the new page. The old page will be freed back to
the buddy.
Right now, the core will leave the page be marked as isolated (as we
returned an error). When later trying to putback that page, we will run
into the WARN_ON_ONCE() in balloon_page_putback().
That handling was changed in commit 3544c4faccb8 ("mm/balloon_compaction:
stop using __ClearPageMovable()"); before that change, we would have
tolerated that way of handling it.
To fix it, let's just return 0 in that case, making the core effectively
just clear the "isolated" flag + freeing it back to the buddy as if the
migration succeeded. Note that the new page will also get freed when the
core puts the last reference.
Note that this also makes it all be more consistent: we will no longer
unisolate the page in the balloon driver while keeping it marked as being
isolated in migration core.
This was found by code inspection. |

most: usb: hdm_probe: Fix calling put_device() before device initialization
The early error path in hdm_probe() can jump to err_free_mdev before
&mdev->dev has been initialized with device_initialize(). Calling
put_device(&mdev->dev) there triggers a device core WARN and ends up
invoking kref_put(&kobj->kref, kobject_release) on an uninitialized
kobject.
In this path the private struct was only kmalloc'ed and the intended
release is effectively kfree(mdev) anyway, so free it directly instead
of calling put_device() on an uninitialized device.
This removes the WARNING and fixes the pre-initialization error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/core: fix potential memory leak by cleaning ops_filter in damon_destroy_scheme
Currently, damon_destroy_scheme() only cleans up the filter list but
leaves ops_filter untouched, which could lead to memory leaks when a
scheme is destroyed.
This patch ensures both filter and ops_filter are properly freed in
damon_destroy_scheme(), preventing potential memory leaks. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Fix dma_buf object leak in fastrpc_map_lookup
In fastrpc_map_lookup, dma_buf_get is called to obtain a reference to
the dma_buf for comparison purposes. However, this reference is never
released when the function returns, leading to a dma_buf memory leak.
Fix this by adding dma_buf_put before returning from the function,
ensuring that the temporarily acquired reference is properly released
regardless of whether a matching map is found.

Revert "NFSD: Remove the cap on number of operations per NFSv4 COMPOUND"
I've found that pynfs COMP6 now leaves the connection or lease in a
strange state, which causes CLOSE9 to hang indefinitely. I've dug
into it a little, but I haven't been able to root-cause it yet.
However, I bisected to commit 48aab1606fa8 ("NFSD: Remove the cap on
number of operations per NFSv4 COMPOUND").
Tianshuo Han also reports a potential vulnerability when decoding
an NFSv4 COMPOUND. An attacker can place an arbitrarily large op
count in the COMPOUND header, which results in:
[ 51.410584] nfsd: vmalloc error: size 1209533382144, exceeds total
pages, mode:0xdc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO),
nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
when NFSD attempts to allocate the COMPOUND op array.
Let's restore the operation-per-COMPOUND limit, but increased to 200
for now. |

mount: handle NULL values in mnt_ns_release()
When calling in listmount() mnt_ns_release() may be passed a NULL
pointer. Handle that case gracefully. |

xtensa: simdisk: add input size check in proc_write_simdisk
A malicious user could pass an arbitrarily bad value
to memdup_user_nul(), potentially causing kernel crash.
This follows the same pattern as commit ee76746387f6

Revert "ipmi: fix msg stack when IPMI is disconnected"
This reverts commit c608966f3f9c2dca596967501d00753282b395fc.
This patch has a subtle bug that can cause the IPMI driver to go into an
infinite loop if the BMC misbehaves in a certain way. Apparently
certain BMCs do misbehave this way because several reports have come in
recently about this. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix kfd process ref leaking when userptr unmapping
kfd_lookup_process_by_pid hold the kfd process reference to ensure it
doesn't get destroyed while sending the segfault event to user space.
Calling kfd_lookup_process_by_pid as function parameter leaks the kfd
process refcount and miss the NULL pointer check if app process is
already destroyed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix object lifecycle issue in update_qos_request()
The cpufreq_cpu_put() call in update_qos_request() takes place too early
because the latter subsequently calls freq_qos_update_request() that
indirectly accesses the policy object in question through the QoS request
object passed to it.
Fortunately, update_qos_request() is called under intel_pstate_driver_lock,
so this issue does not matter for changing the intel_pstate operation
mode, but it theoretically can cause a crash to occur on CPU device hot
removal (which currently can only happen in virt, but it is formally
supported nevertheless).
Address this issue by modifying update_qos_request() to drop the
reference to the policy later. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/kvm: Force legacy PCI hole to UC when overriding MTRRs for TDX/SNP
When running as an SNP or TDX guest under KVM, force the legacy PCI hole,
i.e. memory between Top of Lower Usable DRAM and 4GiB, to be mapped as UC
via a forced variable MTRR range.
In most KVM-based setups, legacy devices such as the HPET and TPM are
enumerated via ACPI. ACPI enumeration includes a Memory32Fixed entry, and
optionally a SystemMemory descriptor for an OperationRegion, e.g. if the
device needs to be accessed via a Control Method.
If a SystemMemory entry is present, then the kernel's ACPI driver will
auto-ioremap the region so that it can be accessed at will. However, the
ACPI spec doesn't provide a way to enumerate the memory type of
SystemMemory regions, i.e. there's no way to tell software that a region
must be mapped as UC vs. WB, etc. As a result, Linux's ACPI driver always
maps SystemMemory regions using ioremap_cache(), i.e. as WB on x86.
The dedicated device drivers however, e.g. the HPET driver and TPM driver,
want to map their associated memory as UC or WC, as accessing PCI devices
using WB is unsupported.
On bare metal and non-CoCO, the conflicting requirements "work" as firmware
configures the PCI hole (and other device memory) to be UC in the MTRRs.
So even though the ACPI mappings request WB, they are forced to UC- in the
kernel's tracking due to the kernel properly handling the MTRR overrides,
and thus are compatible with the drivers' requested WC/UC-.
With force WB MTRRs on SNP and TDX guests, the ACPI mappings get their
requested WB if the ACPI mappings are established before the dedicated
driver code attempts to initialize the device. E.g. if acpi_init()
runs before the corresponding device driver is probed, ACPI's WB mapping
will "win", and result in the driver's ioremap() failing because the
existing WB mapping isn't compatible with the requested WC/UC-.
E.g. when a TPM is emulated by the hypervisor (ignoring the security
implications of relying on what is allegedly an untrusted entity to store
measurements), the TPM driver will request UC and fail:
[ 1.730459] ioremap error for 0xfed40000-0xfed45000, requested 0x2, got 0x0
[ 1.732780] tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: probe with driver tpm_tis failed with error -12
Note, the '0x2' and '0x0' values refer to "enum page_cache_mode", not x86's
memtypes (which frustratingly are an almost pure inversion; 2 == WB, 0 == UC).
E.g. tracing mapping requests for TPM TIS yields:
Mapping TPM TIS with req_type = 0

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SDCA: bug fix while parsing mipi-sdca-control-cn-list
"struct sdca_control" declares "values" field as integer array.
But the memory allocated to it is of char array. This causes
crash for sdca_parse_function API. This patch addresses the
issue by allocating correct data size. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: udc: fix use-after-free in usb_gadget_state_work
A race condition during gadget teardown can lead to a use-after-free
in usb_gadget_state_work(), as reported by KASAN:
BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in sysfs_notify+0x2c/0xd0
Workqueue: events usb_gadget_state_work
The fundamental race occurs because a concurrent event (e.g., an
interrupt) can call usb_gadget_set_state() and schedule gadget->work
at any time during the cleanup process in usb_del_gadget().
Commit 399a45e5237c ("usb: gadget: core: flush gadget workqueue after
device removal") attempted to fix this by moving flush_work() to after
device_del(). However, this does not fully solve the race, as a new
work item can still be scheduled *after* flush_work() completes but
before the gadget's memory is freed, leading to the same use-after-free.
This patch fixes the race condition robustly by introducing a 'teardown'
flag and a 'state_lock' spinlock to the usb_gadget struct. The flag is
set during cleanup in usb_del_gadget() *before* calling flush_work() to
prevent any new work from being scheduled once cleanup has commenced.
The scheduling site, usb_gadget_set_state(), now checks this flag under
the lock before queueing the work, thus safely closing the race window. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
most: usb: fix double free on late probe failure
The MOST subsystem has a non-standard registration function which frees
the interface on registration failures and on deregistration.
This unsurprisingly leads to bugs in the MOST drivers, and a couple of
recent changes turned a reference underflow and use-after-free in the
USB driver into several double free and a use-after-free on late probe
failures. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/memfd: fix information leak in hugetlb folios
When allocating hugetlb folios for memfd, three initialization steps are
missing:
1. Folios are not zeroed, leading to kernel memory disclosure to userspace
2. Folios are not marked uptodate before adding to page cache
3. hugetlb_fault_mutex is not taken before hugetlb_add_to_page_cache()
The memfd allocation path bypasses the normal page fault handler
(hugetlb_no_page) which would handle all of these initialization steps.
This is problematic especially for udmabuf use cases where folios are
pinned and directly accessed by userspace via DMA.
Fix by matching the initialization pattern used in hugetlb_no_page():
- Zero the folio using folio_zero_user() which is optimized for huge pages
- Mark it uptodate with folio_mark_uptodate()
- Take hugetlb_fault_mutex before adding to page cache to prevent races
The folio_zero_user() change also fixes a potential security issue where
uninitialized kernel memory could be disclosed to userspace through read()
or mmap() operations on the memfd. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: fix NULL pointer deference when splitting folio
Commit c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower order pages")
introduced an early check on the folio's order via mapping->flags before
proceeding with the split work.
This check introduced a bug: for shmem folios in the swap cache and
truncated folios, the mapping pointer can be NULL. Accessing
mapping->flags in this state leads directly to a NULL pointer dereference.
This commit fixes the issue by moving the check for mapping != NULL before
any attempt to access mapping->flags. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: verify orphan file size is not too big
In principle orphan file can be arbitrarily large. However orphan replay
needs to traverse it all and we also pin all its buffers in memory. Thus
filesystems with absurdly large orphan files can lead to big amounts of
memory consumed. Limit orphan file size to a sane value and also use
kvmalloc() for allocating array of block descriptor structures to avoid
large order allocations for sane but large orphan files. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: amd/sdw_utils: avoid NULL deref when devm_kasprintf() fails
devm_kasprintf() may return NULL on memory allocation failure,
but the debug message prints cpus->dai_name before checking it.
Move the dev_dbg() call after the NULL check to prevent potential
NULL pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: zynqmp-ipi: Fix SGI cleanup on unbind
The driver incorrectly determines SGI vs SPI interrupts by checking IRQ
number < 16, which fails with dynamic IRQ allocation. During unbind,
this causes improper SGI cleanup leading to kernel crash.
Add explicit irq_type field to pdata for reliable identification of SGI
interrupts (type-2) and only clean up SGI resources when appropriate. |
