| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: finish crypto callback cleanup before peer release
Crypto completion callbacks hold both key-slot and peer references. The
peer reference pins the netdev, and dropping the last peer reference can
let netdev unregistration and module removal make progress.
Do not release that peer reference before the callback has finished its
own cleanup. If ovpn_crypto_key_slot_put runs after ovpn_peer_put, it can
schedule an RCU callback backed by module text after ovpn_cleanup
rcu_barrier has already run. The TX error path also freed the remaining
skb after ovpn_peer_put, leaving callback cleanup outside the peer/netdev
lifetime window.
Release the key slot and free any remaining skb first, then drop the peer
reference as the last callback action. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: stop the timeout timer when releasing a never added disk
disk_release() undoes blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() for a disk whose
probe failed before add_disk(), but it only calls blk_mq_exit_queue().
Nothing there stops q->timeout, and that timer rolls forward: it stays
pending until it next expires, not until the last request completes.
So if the driver issued any I/O before adding the disk, the
request_queue is freed while still linked into a timer wheel bucket.
Commit 6f8191fdf41d ("block: simplify disk shutdown") dropped the
blk_cleanup_queue() call that used to stop it. __del_gendisk() and
blk_mq_destroy_queue() still do; only the probe failure path lost it.
nvme gets there because nvme_update_ns_info() submits Report Zones or
FDP io-mgmt-recv on ns->queue before the disk is added, so a later
failure - a concurrent reset setting NVME_CTRL_FROZEN, or
device_add_disk() failing - lands in put_disk() with the timer armed:

leaked timer trips KASAN within seconds, while 1987 patched releases
produced no splat.
Stop the timer and the queue work items before blk_mq_exit_queue(), like
blk_mq_destroy_queue() does.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: clear fb_info->mode before deleting a videomode
fb_set_var() can delete a mode from info->modelist when userspace
passes FB_ACTIVATE_INV_MODE through FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO. The code
checks that the mode being deleted is not the current info->var and
that fbcon is not using it, but it does not check fb_info->mode.
fb_info->mode may still point into the modelist entry being deleted.
If the entry is freed, later mode sysfs reads through show_mode() can
dereference a stale pointer.
Clear fb_info->mode before calling fb_delete_videomode() when it
matches the mode being removed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: sloppy-logic-analyzer: fix use-after-free via debugfs trigger on unbind
The "trigger" debugfs file has a hand-rolled ->write handler
(trigger_write()) that dereferences the per-device gpio_la_poll_priv. The
file is created with debugfs_create_file_unsafe(), and the handler never
takes a debugfs reference. Nothing keeps the object alive while the
handler runs.
priv is allocated with devm_kzalloc(). devres frees it when the platform
device is unbound. debugfs_create_file_unsafe() installs no full_proxy
wrapper, so debugfs_remove_recursive() in gpio_la_poll_remove() does not
wait for an in-flight trigger_write(). The blob_lock taken there does not
help, because trigger_write() never takes it. A write that races an unbind
therefore writes into freed memory:
trigger_write() gpio_la_poll_remove()
priv = m->private
buf = memdup_user() [may sleep]
mutex_lock(&priv->blob_lock)
debugfs_remove_recursive() [no wait]
mutex_unlock(&priv->blob_lock)
(remove returns; devres frees priv)
priv->trig_data = buf <-- use-after-free write
priv->trig_len = count
The race is reachable by root via
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer/unbind.
Create "trigger" with debugfs_create_file() instead. Its full_proxy
wrapper makes debugfs_remove_recursive() drain any in-flight ->write
before it returns.
The use-after-free is confirmed under KASAN with a minimal reproducer of
the same debugfs_create_file_unsafe() plus devm_kzalloc() pattern
(available on request); it produces a slab-use-after-free write in the
handler. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: atmel-mci: Fix use-after-free in atmci_remove due to race condition
In atmci_probe, &host->bh_work is bound with atmci_work_func, and
atmci_interrupt, atmci_timeout_timer and atmci_dma_complete can all
queue this work on system_bh_wq.
If we remove the module, atmci_remove makes cleanup and the memory
allocated for host with devm_kzalloc() is released after the remove
callback returns, while the work mentioned above may still be pending
or running. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is
as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| atmci_interrupt
| queue_work(system_bh_wq,
| &host->bh_work)
atmci_remove |
atmci_cleanup_slot(...) |
atmci_writel(host, ATMCI_IDR, ~0UL) |
timer_delete_sync(&host->timer) |
dma_release_channel(host->dma.chan) |
free_irq(platform_get_irq(pdev, 0), host) |
| atmci_work_func
| // use host
// devm resources released after |
// remove returns, host is freed |
| // use host (use-after-free)
Fix it by canceling the work after all the sources that can schedule
it (IRQ handler, timeout timer and DMA completion callback) have been
stopped, and before proceeding with the remaining cleanup in
atmci_remove. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Reject exited events as group leaders
perf_event_remove_on_exec() sets remove-on-exec events to the EXIT state
and detaches their group relationships. The event's file descriptor can
remain open, however, and perf_event_open() currently accepts that event
as a group leader because its early validation rejects only REVOKED and
DEAD events.
A new sibling can consequently be linked to the detached leader. When
the leader is closed, perf_group_detach() observes that its
PERF_ATTACH_GROUP bit is already clear and skips the new sibling. The
sibling then retains a group_leader pointer to the freed event.
Reject group leaders in the EXIT state. Perform the check while holding
the shared context mutex so that an exec in the target task cannot detach
the leader between validation and group attachment.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: publish GC-visible tuple last
nf_flow_table_iterate() only treats original-direction tuple nodes as
owning entries. Publishing the original node first lets GC observe and
free a flow while flow_offload_add() is still inserting the reply node.
Publish the reply node first and the original node last so GC never
sees a partially installed flow.
KASAN can trigger slab-use-after-free read and write reports in the
flowtable/rhashtable path (rht_deferred_worker, jhash, flow_offload_del,
flow_offload_lookup, etc.). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detach
perf_group_detach() handles leader and sibling detach differently. When the
group leader is detached, all siblings are promoted to singleton events and
their group_leader pointer is reset to themselves. When a sibling is
detached, it is removed from the leader's sibling_list, but its
group_leader pointer is left pointing at the old leader.
That is harmless when the sibling is being closed and freed immediately, as
in the DETACH_DEAD path. It is not safe when the sibling is detached but
kept alive, such as during CPU hotplug with DETACH_GROUP. In that case the
sibling is removed from the context, while its file descriptor can still
keep it alive.
A typical failing sequence is:
- A group contains leader L and sibling S.
- CPU hot-unplug detaches S with DETACH_GROUP, removing it from
L->sibling_list but leaving S->group_leader == L.
- L is later closed and freed.
- A PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP ioctl on S follows S->group_leader and
dereferences the freed leader.
This was reproduced by running the perf event fuzzer, CPU hotplug, and a
stress workload concurrently:

net/x25: fix use-after-free of the socket by its timers
The x25 timers are armed with mod_timer() and cancelled with
timer_delete(), so a pending timer holds no reference on the socket and a
cancel does not wait for a callback already running on another CPU.
x25_heartbeat_expiry() also rearms unconditionally, so it can reinstall
sk->sk_timer after __x25_destroy_socket() has passed its cancel point.
The following __sock_put() frees the socket while the timer is still
queued, and the next expiry uses freed memory. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-2k object freed by close().
timer_delete_sync() cannot be used here: x25_heartbeat_expiry() and
x25_timer_expiry() both reach the cancels from inside the timer they
would wait on, through __x25_destroy_socket() and x25_disconnect().
Arm the timers with sk_reset_timer() and cancel them with sk_stop_timer()
so that an armed timer owns a reference, and release it in both expiry
handlers. Rearm the heartbeat only while sk_hashed(sk) is still true,
since __x25_destroy_socket() unlinks the socket before dropping it. Arm
the deferred destroy timer the same way and drop its reference in
x25_destroy_timer().
Reproduced on net with KASAN, with the heartbeat period shortened so the
window recurs. With this patch the reproducer no longer triggers a
report and /proc/net/x25 drains.

Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix advertising data UAFs
hci_find_adv_instance() returns an adv_info pointer that is valid only
while hdev->lock is held. The advertising command-sync paths perform
instance lookups without that lock and, in some cases, retain the pointer
while waiting for a controller response.
An advertising termination event can therefore interleave as follows:
hci_cmd_sync_work hci_rx_work
hci_find_adv_instance()
__hci_cmd_sync_status()

Clear advertising-data dirty bits before issuing their commands and
restore them after a failure using a fresh lookup. Likewise, update the
reported transmit power through a fresh lookup after the parameter command
completes. No adv_info pointer then survives an HCI command wait. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Check for invalid/obsolete root *after* making MMU pages available
Check for a "stale" page fault, i.e. for an invalid and/or obsolete root,
after making MMU pages available for the shadow MMU. If reclaiming shadow
pages zaps an in-use root, i.e. marks it invalid, then KVM will attempt to
map memory into an invalid root. On its own, populating an invalid root is
"fine", but because child shadow pages inherit their parent's role, any
children created during the map/fetch will be created as invalid pages,
thus violating KVM's invariant that invalid pages are never on the list of
active MMU pages.
Note, the underlying flaw has existed since KVM first started tracking
invalid roots in 2008 (commit 2e53d63acba7, "KVM: MMU: ignore zapped root
pagetables"), but the true badness only came along in 2020 (Linux 5.9)
with the invariant that invalid shadow pages can't be on the list of
active pages.
Note #2, inheriting role.invalid when creating child shadow pages is also
far from ideal; that flaw will be addressed separately. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: at91sam9_wdt: prevent timer rearm during teardown
at91_ping() rearms the watchdog timer from its callback. timer_delete()

timer, so probe failure or driver removal can leave the timer accessing the
devm-allocated at91wdt after it has been freed.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() on both teardown paths. It waits for a running
callback and rejects any attempt by the callback to rearm the timer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()
remove_waiter() is used by the slowlock paths, but it is also used for
proxy-lock rollback in rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() when invoked from
futex_requeue().
In the latter case waiter::task is not current, but remove_waiter()
operates on current for the dequeue operation. That results in several
problems:
1) the rbtree dequeue happens without waiter::task::pi_lock being held
2) the waiter task's pi_blocked_on state is not cleared, which leaves a
dangling pointer primed for UAF around.
3) rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() operates on the wrong top priority waiter
task
Use waiter::task instead of current in all related operations in
remove_waiter() to cure those problems.

| Nokogiri before 1.18.4 bundles a vulnerable version of libxslt (prior to 1.1.43) that contains two use-after-free vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-24855 (use-after-free of the XPath context node due to xsltEvalXPathStringNs leaking xpathCtxt->node) and CVE-2024-55549 (use-after-free related to excluded result prefixes/namespaces). Processing crafted XSLT can trigger memory corruption. Nokogiri 1.18.4 upgrades the bundled libxslt to 1.1.43 to resolve these issues. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: purge outqueue on stale COOKIE-ECHO handling
sctp_stream_update() is only invoked when the association is moved into
COOKIE_WAIT during association setup/reconfiguration. In this path, the
outbound stream scheduler state (stream->out_curr) is expected to be
clean, since no user data should have been transmitted yet unless the
state machine has already partially progressed.
However, a corner case exists in sctp_sf_do_5_2_6_stale(): when a
Stale Cookie ERROR is received, the association is rolled back from
COOKIE_ECHOED to COOKIE_WAIT. In this scenario, user data may already
have been queued and even bundled with the COOKIE-ECHO chunk.
During the rollback, sctp_stream_update() frees the old stream table
and installs a new one, but it does not invalidate stream->out_curr.
As a result, out_curr may still point to a freed sctp_stream_out
entry from the previous stream state.
Later, SCTP scheduler dequeue paths (FCFS, RR, PRIO, etc.) rely on
stream->out_curr->ext, which can lead to use-after-free once the old
stream state has been released via sctp_stream_free().
This results in crashes such as (reported by Yuqi):

Fix this by fully purging the association outqueue when handling the
Stale Cookie case. This ensures all pending transmit and retransmit
state is dropped, and any scheduler cached pointers are invalidated,
making it safe to rebuild stream state during COOKIE_WAIT restart.
Updating only stream->out_curr would be insufficient, since queued
and retransmittable data would still reference the old stream state and
trigger later use-after-free in dequeue paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: clear new_transport when removing a peer
sctp_process_asconf_param() stores a newly added peer transport in
asoc->new_transport. After all parameters in the ASCONF chunk have been
processed, sctp_sf_do_asconf() uses this pointer to send a HEARTBEAT to the
new transport.
An authenticated ASCONF from a remote SCTP peer can add a transport and
remove it again with a wildcard DEL-IP parameter in the same chunk. The
wildcard deletion preserves the transport on which the ASCONF arrived, but
removes the newly added transport through
sctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(). The removal does not clear
asoc->new_transport, leaving it pointing to the removed transport.
sctp_sf_do_asconf() then creates a HEARTBEAT whose chunk->transport points
to the removed transport without holding a transport reference. During
local address replacement, src_out_of_asoc_ok keeps this HEARTBEAT on
control_chunk_list. After the transport is freed by RCU, a successful
ASCONF_ACK for the replacement address releases the queued HEARTBEAT and
sctp_outq_select_transport() reads the freed transport's state.
The issue was found during a static audit of SCTP objects. With an
authenticated peer, the reproducer triggered the same KASAN report in 2
of 2 unpatched runs on a KASAN-enabled netdev/main kernel:

smb: client: Fix use-after-free in cifs_try_adding_channels()
cifs_try_adding_channels() takes a temporary reference to an interface
before dropping iface_lock. If cifs_ses_add_channel() fails, it drops
that reference and then increments iface->weight_fulfilled.
A concurrent interface list refresh can remove the list reference while
channel creation is in progress. In that case, the failure-path
kref_put() releases the last reference and frees iface. Updating
weight_fulfilled afterward then accesses freed memory.
Increment weight_fulfilled before dropping the temporary reference,
keeping iface alive for the final access. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent in6_dev_get() from resurrecting inet6_dev
in6_dev_get() reads dev->ip6_ptr under RCU and then unconditionally
increments its refcount. Device teardown can clear the pointer and drop
the last reference between these operations. The increment then
resurrects an object whose RCU free has already been queued, so callers
can use it after it is freed.
Use refcount_inc_not_zero() and return NULL when the object has already
reached zero. RCU keeps the memory accessible through the attempted
reference acquisition, and a successful increment pins the object for
the caller.
An independent run on the exact unpatched 6f5156d7a31a (v7.2-rc3)
