In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
resource: fix region_intersects() vs add_memory_driver_managed()
On a system with CXL memory, the resource tree (/proc/iomem) related to
CXL memory may look like something as follows.
490000000-50fffffff : CXL Window 0
490000000-50fffffff : region0
490000000-50fffffff : dax0.0
490000000-50fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
Because drivers/dax/kmem.c calls add_memory_driver_managed() during
onlining CXL memory, which makes "System RAM (kmem)" a descendant of "CXL
Window X". This confuses region_intersects(), which expects all "System
RAM" resources to be at the top level of iomem_resource. This can lead to
bugs.
For example, when the following command line is executed to write some
memory in CXL memory range via /dev/mem,
$ dd if=data of=/dev/mem bs=$((1 << 10)) seek=$((0x490000000 >> 10)) count=1
dd: error writing '/dev/mem': Bad address
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes copied, 0.0283507 s, 0.0 kB/s
the command fails as expected. However, the error code is wrong. It
should be "Operation not permitted" instead of "Bad address". More
seriously, the /dev/mem permission checking in devmem_is_allowed() passes
incorrectly. Although the accessing is prevented later because ioremap()
isn't allowed to map system RAM, it is a potential security issue. During
command executing, the following warning is reported in the kernel log for
calling ioremap() on system RAM.
ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000490000000 - 0x0000000490000fff
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 416 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:216 __ioremap_caller.constprop.0+0x131/0x35d
Call Trace:

ksys_write+0xac/0xfe
do_syscall_64+0x9a/0xfd
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
The details of command execution process are as follows. In the above
resource tree, "System RAM" is a descendant of "CXL Window 0" instead of a
top level resource. So, region_intersects() will report no System RAM
resources in the CXL memory region incorrectly, because it only checks the
top level resources. Consequently, devmem_is_allowed() will return 1
(allow access via /dev/mem) for CXL memory region incorrectly.
Fortunately, ioremap() doesn't allow to map System RAM and reject the
access.
So, region_intersects() needs to be fixed to work correctly with the
resource tree with "System RAM" not at top level as above. To fix it, if
we found a unmatched resource in the top level, we will continue to search
matched resources in its descendant resources. So, we will not miss any
matched resources in resource tree anymore.
In the new implementation, an example resource tree
|------------- "CXL Window 0" ------------|
|-- "System RAM" --|
will behave similar as the following fake resource tree for
region_intersects(, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM, ),
|-- "System RAM" --||-- "CXL Window 0a" --|
Where "CXL Window 0a" is part of the original "CXL Window 0" that
isn't covered by "System RAM".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file()
A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent:
P1 | P2
-----------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_lookup_cookie
cachefiles_look_up_object
lookup_one_positive_unlocked
// get dentry
cachefiles_cull

__cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
can_use = false
if (!(inode->i_flags & S_KERNEL_FILE))
can_use = true
return false
return false
// Returns an error but doesn't put dentry
After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder
is umounted:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: adp5589-keys - fix NULL pointer dereference
We register a devm action to call adp5589_clear_config() and then pass
the i2c client as argument so that we can call i2c_get_clientdata() in
order to get our device object. However, i2c_set_clientdata() is only
being set at the end of the probe function which means that we'll get a
NULL pointer dereference in case the probe function fails early.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/scsi: null-ptr-dereference in vhost_scsi_get_req()
Since commit 3f8ca2e115e5 ("vhost/scsi: Extract common handling code
from control queue handler") a null pointer dereference bug can be
triggered when guest sends an SCSI AN request.
In vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_vq(), `vc.target` is assigned with
`&v_req.tmf.lun[1]` within a switch-case block and is then passed to
vhost_scsi_get_req() which extracts `vc->req` and `tpg`. However, for
a `VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_*` request, tpg is not required, so `vc.target` is
set to NULL in this branch. Later, in vhost_scsi_get_req(),
`vc->target` is dereferenced without being checked, leading to a null
pointer dereference bug. This bug can be triggered from guest.
When this bug occurs, the vhost_worker process is killed while holding
`vq->mutex` and the corresponding tpg will remain occupied
indefinitely.
Below is the KASAN report:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/timerlat: Fix a race during cpuhp processing
There is another found exception that the "timerlat/1" thread was

```
After tracing the scheduling event, it was discovered that the migration
of the "timerlat/1" thread was performed during thread creation. Further
analysis confirmed that it is because the CPU online processing for
osnoise is implemented through workers, which is asynchronous with the
offline processing. When the worker was scheduled to create a thread, the
CPU may has already been removed from the cpu_online_mask during the offline
process, resulting in the inability to select the right CPU:
T1 | T2
[CPUHP_ONLINE] | cpu_device_down()
osnoise_hotplug_workfn() |
| cpus_write_lock()
| takedown_cpu(1)
| cpus_write_unlock()
[CPUHP_OFFLINE] |
cpus_read_lock() |
start_kthread(1) |
cpus_read_unlock() |
To fix this, skip online processing if the CPU is already offline.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: wait for fixup workers before stopping cleaner kthread during umount
During unmount, at close_ctree(), we have the following steps in this order:
1) Park the cleaner kthread - this doesn't destroy the kthread, it basically
halts its execution (wake ups against it work but do nothing);
2) We stop the cleaner kthread - this results in freeing the respective
struct task_struct;
3) We call btrfs_stop_all_workers() which waits for any jobs running in all
the work queues and then free the work queues.
Syzbot reported a case where a fixup worker resulted in a crash when doing
a delayed iput on its inode while attempting to wake up the cleaner at
btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), because the task_struct of the cleaner kthread
was already freed. This can happen during unmount because we don't wait
for any fixup workers still running before we call kthread_stop() against
the cleaner kthread, which stops and free all its resources.
Fix this by waiting for any fixup workers at close_ctree() before we call
kthread_stop() against the cleaner and run pending delayed iputs.
The stack traces reported by syzbot were the following:

[CAUSE]
The allocation failure happens at the start_transaction() inside
prepare_to_relocate(), and during the error handling we call
unset_reloc_control(), which makes fs_info->balance_ctl to be NULL.
Then we continue the error path cleanup in btrfs_balance() by calling
reset_balance_state() which will call del_balance_item() to fully delete
the balance item in the root tree.
However during the small window between set_reloc_contrl() and
unset_reloc_control(), we can have a subvolume tree update and created a
reloc_root for that subvolume.
Then we go into the final btrfs_commit_transaction() of
del_balance_item(), and into btrfs_update_reloc_root() inside
commit_fs_roots().
That function checks if fs_info->reloc_ctl is in the merge_reloc_tree
stage, but since fs_info->reloc_ctl is NULL, it results a NULL pointer
dereference.
[FIX]
Just add extra check on fs_info->reloc_ctl inside
btrfs_update_reloc_root(), before checking
fs_info->reloc_ctl->merge_reloc_tree.
That DEAD_RELOC_TREE handling is to prevent further modification to the
reloc tree during merge stage, but since there is no reloc_ctl at all,
we do not need to bother that.
