CVSS v3.1 |
| When Thunderbird asked for a security device password (for example a smartcard PIN or the Primary Password) while decrypting an S/MIME message, the message load could finish or be cancelled while the prompt was open. This freed the message decoder while it was still in use, causing a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 158.0.1 and Thunderbird 153.6. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: fix P2P device removal race in brcmf_detach()
When the driver is removed while the user space process that created
the P2P device (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is still exiting, the P2P device
interface is removed twice and the kernel crashes.
The two paths are:
- wpa_supplicant, on exit, sends NL80211_CMD_DEL_INTERFACE for the P2P
device. nl80211_del_interface() holds RTNL and the wiphy mutex and
calls brcmf_p2p_del_vif(), which disables discovery and waits up to
1.5 s for BRCMF_E_IF_DEL. Then it calls brcmf_remove_interface(),
which unregisters the wdev and frees the vif and the ifp.
- brcmf_detach() sets the bus down, so BRCMF_E_IF_DEL never arrives,
and calls brcmf_remove_interface(ifp, false) for the same ifp.
brcmf_p2p_ifp_removed() reads ifp->vif and then blocks on
rtnl_lock(). When brcmf_p2p_del_vif() releases RTNL, it calls
cfg80211_unregister_wdev() on the wdev that was already unregistered
and freed.
The second list_del_rcu() of wdev->list faults on LIST_POISON2:
brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_del_vif delete P2P vif
brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_deinit_discovery enter

The log was taken with debug=0x406 on an i.MX 8M Plus board with a
CYW55513 (Sona IF513) on SDIO. The driver is the Ezurio backport of
brcmfmac from v6.18.22 on a 5.4-rt kernel. The code involved is the same
in mainline.
To reproduce:
1. Start wpa_supplicant on wlan0 and let it associate. It creates the
P2P device (iw dev shows "type P2P-device").
2. Stop wpa_supplicant and remove the driver without waiting for
wpa_supplicant to exit:
kill $(pidof wpa_supplicant)
rmmod brcmfmac_cyw brcmfmac
The crash is reproducible on that board.
For the interface without a netdev (the P2P device), take RTNL and the
wiphy mutex in brcmf_detach() before reading iflist, and remove it with
locked=true. If brcmf_p2p_del_vif() runs first, brcmf_detach() finds the
slot empty. If brcmf_detach() runs first, nl80211 does not find the wdev
any more. The interfaces with a netdev are removed as before, because
brcmf_del_if() takes RTNL on its own for the primary interface. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: hold a reference to nodes found by link name
tipc_node_find_by_name() returns a node after dropping its RCU read lock
without taking a reference. The LINK_SET, LINK_GET and LINK_RESET_STATS
handlers then lock and access the node, racing with timer-driven cleanup of
a down peer. Generic netlink serialization does not exclude the node
timer.
The following interleaving can leave a handler using a freed node:
CPU 0: find the node under RCU and release the node read lock
CPU 1: tipc_node_timeout() clears the links and unlinks the down node
CPU 1: drop the list and timer references, queuing tipc_node_free()
CPU 0: leave the RCU read-side critical section
CPU 1: complete the grace period and free the node
CPU 0: acquire the node lock through the stale pointer
LINK_SET also uses the node's media address after releasing the node lock,
when passing queued packets to tipc_bearer_xmit().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc2: Fix use after free in debug code
We're not allowed to dereference "urb" after calling
usb_hcd_giveback_urb() so save the urb->status ahead of time. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: exthdrs: refresh nh after handling HAO option
ip6_parse_tlv() caches skb_network_header(skb) in nh while walking
IPv6 TLVs.
ipv6_dest_hao() may call pskb_expand_head() for a cloned skb, which can
move the skb head and invalidate the cached network header pointer.
Refresh nh after ipv6_dest_hao() returns so any trailing padding or TLVs
are parsed from the current skb head.
This matches the existing pattern used in ip6_parse_tlv() after helpers
that can modify skb header storage. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: HWS, Handle destroying table that has a miss table
If a table has a miss table that was created by
'mlx5hws_table_set_default_miss' API function, its miss_tbl
keeps the table that points to it in a list.
If such table is deleted, we need to also remove it from the
miss_tbl list, otherwise the node in miss_tbl list will contain
garbage. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: Keep the domain reference while processing hotplug
We process hotplug events in a workqueue that may run after the domain
has been removed by tb_domain_remove(). For example if user unloads the
driver while at the same time plugging a device router we may have
scheduled tb_handle_hotplug() to run. Avoid possible UAF in this case by
taking the domain reference before scheduling the hotplug handler in
tb_queue_hotplug(). |
| A use-after-free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in Safari 27.2, iOS 26.7.2 and iPadOS 26.7.2, iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, tvOS 27.2, visionOS 27.2, watchOS 27.2. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. |
| Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 11.3.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow has a heap use-after-free when libtiff rejects a tag while encoding TIFF data to an in-memory buffer. When an application saves attacker-influenced TIFF tags to BytesIO, libtiff can reject a tag during encoding in ImagingLibTiffEncode; the error path then frees the output buffer without closing or clearing the TIFF handle, and later cleanup flushes through the write callback into freed memory, which can crash the process and may enable code execution. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. |

drm/i915: Fix potential UAF in TTM object purge

drm/ttm: fix swapped-out resources never leaving their bulk_move range
ttm_tt_swapout() returns the number of pages swapped out on success and
a negative error code on failure; for a populated ttm it never returns
zero. Commit b2ed01e7ad3d ("drm/ttm: Fix ttm_bo_swapout() infinite LRU
walk on swapout failure") moved the bulk_move bookkeeping in
ttm_bo_swapout_cb() under "if (!ret)", so the
ttm_resource_del_bulk_move_unevictable() / ttm_resource_move_to_lru_tail()
pair is now skipped on every successful swapout. The equivalent change
for the shrinker in commit 1d59f36e95f7 ("drm/ttm: Fix ttm_bo_shrink()
infinite LRU walk on backup failure") tests "lret > 0", which is what
was intended here as well.
Before b2ed01e7ad3d the resource was taken off the bulk_move before the
swapout; since then a swapped-out resource stays inside its BO's
bulk_move range (and on the manager LRU) although it is unevictable.
When it is later freed or the BO leaves the bulk_move
(ttm_resource_free(), ttm_bo_set_bulk_move() via amdgpu_vm_bo_del()),
ttm_resource_del_bulk_move() skips it because of its
!ttm_resource_unevictable() guard, so a range endpoint in pos->first /
pos->last is left pointing at freed memory. The next
ttm_lru_bulk_move_tail() or ttm_resource_add_bulk_move() on that cursor
is a use-after-free, seen as the resv WARN in ttm_lru_bulk_move_add(),
"list_del corruption" in ttm_resource_move_to_lru_tail() or a NULL
dereference in ttm_resource_manager_next() -- minutes to hours after a
hibernation, or at process exit / reboot following one. Samuel
Ainsworth's analysis of drm/amd issue 5387 (see Link) identified the
dangling cursor; the missing removal at swapout time is the reason it
dangles.
Testing the condition for success restores the removal. On an AMD
Phoenix APU (ASUS UM3406GA, gfx1103) running suspend-then-hibernate on
a 7.0.y stable kernel carrying the backport (Ubuntu 7.0.0-31) the bug
crashed 5 of 18 hibernation cycles; a function profile of one
hibernation showed 336 ttm_tt_swapout() calls and zero
ttm_resource_del_bulk_move_unevictable() calls. With this change the
removal happens for every swapped-out resource and 12 further cycles
were clean. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix reading free memory in do_resume
When do_resume calls dm_table_get_mode(new_map), the call is done without
holding any locks (it only holds a reference to the md). It may be
possible that another concurrent ioctl on the same device will swap table
after dm_swap_table and before dm_table_get_mode. In this case,
dm_table_get_mode(new_map) reads freed memory.
This race condition was triggered by syzbot.
This commit fixes the race by reading mode of the new table before
dm_swap_table. Note that new_map is also passed to dm_ima_need_measure,
but this function doesn't attempt to dereference it, so this call should
be safe.
Note that this is not a security bug because only root can trigger it and
the commonly used tools such as lvm or cryptsetup do not call the ioctls
concurrently, so that they can't trigger it acceidentally. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: steam: Rearrange teardown sequence
This fixes a narrow window during the teardown sequence where callbacks
could still be scheduled during cleanup that would then have a dangling
pointer to the now-freed steam struct.
This also puts work canceling for rumble and mode switch in
steam_unregister, as that shouldn't persist while the client hdev is open. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: don't let a pseudo dentry become the root of a mount
d_alloc_pseudo() hands out dentries for pipes, sockets and other files
that are never anyone's child or parent. They carry DCACHE_NORCU and
dentry_free() frees them right away because no lockless path walk can
ever reach them. That holds as long as such a dentry isn't the root of
a mount. But bind mounting /proc/self/fd/<fd> of such a file does
exactly that.
Most callers of alloc_file_pseudo() put their files on kernel-internal
mounts and may_copy_tree() refuses those. bpf_token_create() doesn't. It
places the token file on the bpffs mount the caller handed it and that
mount is in the caller's mount namespace so the clone goes through:
mount --bind /proc/self/fd/<token> <file>
open_tree(tokfd, "", AT_EMPTY_PATH | OPEN_TREE_CLONE) + move_mount()
__follow_mount_rcu() then loads ->mnt_root of that mount, reads d_seq
and d_flags of the dentry and only then checks mount_lock. The dentry
can be gone by then. The final mntput() of an unmounted parent unhooks
a child that stayed attached to it under mount_lock alone. When the
child's holder does the final put right after that the root is dput()
and freed immediately while a walker that found the mount hashed still
looks at it.
Refuse to clone a mount with a DCACHE_NORCU dentry as its root. Nothing
sensible can be done with a bind mount of a bpf token anyway. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: queue a mount only once for mount notifications
mnt_notify_add() puts a mount on notify_list. It doesn't check whether
the mount is on the list already. That's fine as long as every mount is
queued at most once per namespace_sem hold. It isn't.
propagate_umount() moves a surviving overmount off a stack of mounts
that are going away and queues it as moved. shrink_submounts() and
mark_mounts_for_expiry() call umount_tree() for several mounts under a
single namespace_sem hold. So the second umount_tree() can take down
exactly the mount the first one reparented, reparent it once more and so
end up queueing it a second time.
The second list_add_tail() cuts the mounts queued in between out of the
list while the head still points at the last of them. notify_mnt_list()
then only visits that one mount and the others are freed after the grace
period with notify_list still pointing at them. Every later mount
operation on the host walks freed memory:

This needs a mount with MNT_SHRINKABLE to bind from. That's what
finish_automount() creates (submounts of NFS, AFS and CIFS and the
tracefs mount below debugfs). Bind mounts inherit the flag. A mount
namespace with a FAN_MARK_MNTNS mark does the rest and root in a user
namespace can have both.
Initialize to_notify in alloc_vfsmnt() and leave a mount alone that is
queued already. mnt_notify() looks at the state the mount has when the
list is drained so a single entry per mount is enough. The move event
for a mount that is unmounted under the same hold is lost. That's fine.
The detach is what matters. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: Reject concurrent BIS listener setup
iso_sock_listen() drops the socket lock before calling iso_listen_bis()
to preserve the hdev->lock ordering. Two concurrent listen() calls on
the same broadcast socket can therefore both observe BT_BOUND. Caller
A can attach connA and release the locks, then caller B can acquire
them and attach connB before A publishes BT_LISTEN.
__iso_chan_add() checks whether connB already has a socket, but not
whether the socket already has a connection. The second attachment
overwrites iso_pi(sk)->conn, leaking the connA reference and leaving
connA->sk intact. Socket teardown follows connB, so later events on
connA can cause a stale socket access.
Recheck BT_BOUND and require iso_pi(sk)->conn to be NULL after taking
both the HCI device and socket locks in iso_listen_bis(). The connection
check also covers the interval between attachment and publication of
BT_LISTEN. Reject a competing setup with -EBADFD through the existing
unlock path before allocating another connection.

ksmbd: remove stale channels from all sessions on teardown
ksmbd_sessions_deregister() removes a connection's channels from other
sessions' channel lists only while conn->binding is still set:
if (conn->binding) {
hash_for_each_safe(sessions_table, ...)
ksmbd_chann_del(conn, sess);
}
conn->binding is a transient flag: it is cleared once a binding
SESSION_SETUP completes, and also by a subsequent non-binding
SESSION_SETUP on the same connection (a reauthentication on a bound
channel, or a new SessionId==0 setup). A connection that has bound a
channel into another session's ksmbd_chann_list and then clears
conn->binding leaves that channel behind when it disconnects: the
channel, whose chann->conn points at the now freed struct ksmbd_conn,
stays on the owner session's list.
When the owning connection later tears down, the second loop
dereferences the stale channel:
xa_for_each(&sess->ksmbd_chann_list, chann_id, chann)
if (chann->conn != conn)
ksmbd_conn_set_exiting(chann->conn); /* freed */
which is a use-after-free write into the freed ksmbd_conn (the same
stale channel is also walked by show_proc_session() through /proc). The
session is leaked as well, because its channel list never empties.
Remove the conn->binding gate so a connection always removes its
channels from every session on teardown. |

KVM: arm64: nv: Fix life cycle of the nested_mmus array
The nested_mmus array holds the shadow page tables that are used when
a guest is running a nested context. These structures are allocated on
VCPU_INIT for whole guest, which implies that they may have to be
relocated as the array grows.
Should a VCPU_INIT occur whilst a vcpu is actively running an L2 and
that the allocation requires relocation, that vcpu will still be
running with a pointer to the previous structure, which will have been
freed.
Fix this by turning the array of structures to an array of pointers,
which is now allocated at VM creation, sized to the absolute maximum
that KVM can handle.
In turn, each VCPU_INIT contributes S2_MMU_PER_VCPU to the pool. No
reallocation is ever performed, and the life cycle of each object is
much clearer:
- the nested_mmus array is allocated in kvm_init_nested(), and freed
in kvm_arch_destroy_vm()
- s2_mmu structures are allocated in kvm_vcpu_init_nested(), and freed
on kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all()
Finally, the freeing of vcpu->arch.vncr_array is made consistent
rather than being done on some failure paths, but not others. |

sched/cache: Decouple sched_cache_group from mm to fix UAF
Currently the sched cache grouping is by mm and the scheduling statistics
sched_cache_stat lives in the mm structure. This ties the life cycle
of scheduling stats with mm.
In account_mm_sched(), the scheduling stats are accessed by
task->mm->sc_stat. However, a task may be switching mm on one CPU when
another CPU is running account_mm_sched(), and possibly accessing the
old mm that was freed. This problem was found when running tests with
KASAN by Hyunwoo:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/apPb-Dr4nPYuHQOK@v4bel/
Instead of serializing the mm access by introducing extra acquisition of
rq lock in the mm free path, extract sched_cache_stat from mm_struct,
rename it as sched_cache_group and manage its life cycle apart from
mm_struct with its own ref counting. This allows us in the next patch
access sched_cache_group directly from task, and add a refcount
on sched_cache_group when a task links to it. This prevents the use
after free issue when accessing stale and released old mm and its
sched cache stat a task switches to a new mm while account_mm_sched()
is done elsewhere.
The other benefit of this restructure is in the future, the grouping of
tasks to a LLC would have the flexibility to be associated with a user
defined grouping, or cgroup, cookie group, numa_group or others instead
of just with a single mm address space.
Rename sched_cache_stat to sched_cache_group and turn it into a refcounted
object allocated from mm_struct. The mm_struct now holds a pointer
(sched_cache_grp) to this object instead of embedding it. |
