In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/smaps: fix race between smaps_hugetlb_range and migration
smaps_hugetlb_range() handles the pte without holdling ptl, and may be
concurrenct with migration, leaing to BUG_ON in pfn_swap_entry_to_page().
The race is as follows.
smaps_hugetlb_range migrate_pages
huge_ptep_get
remove_migration_ptes
folio_unlock
pfn_swap_entry_folio
BUG_ON
To fix it, hold ptl lock in smaps_hugetlb_range().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Fix the sendmsg byte count in siw_tcp_sendpages
Ever since commit c2ff29e99a76 ("siw: Inline do_tcp_sendpages()"),
we have been doing this:
static int siw_tcp_sendpages(struct socket *s, struct page **page, int offset,
size_t size)
[...]
/* Calculate the number of bytes we need to push, for this page
* specifically */
size_t bytes = min_t(size_t, PAGE_SIZE - offset, size);
/* If we can't splice it, then copy it in, as normal */
if (!sendpage_ok(page[i]))
msg.msg_flags &= ~MSG_SPLICE_PAGES;
/* Set the bvec pointing to the page, with len $bytes */
bvec_set_page(&bvec, page[i], bytes, offset);
/* Set the iter to $size, aka the size of the whole sendpages (!!!) */
iov_iter_bvec(&msg.msg_iter, ITER_SOURCE, &bvec, 1, size);
try_page_again:
lock_sock(sk);
/* Sendmsg with $size size (!!!) */
rv = tcp_sendmsg_locked(sk, &msg, size);
This means we've been sending oversized iov_iters and tcp_sendmsg calls
for a while. This has a been a benign bug because sendpage_ok() always
returned true. With the recent slab allocator changes being slowly
introduced into next (that disallow sendpage on large kmalloc
allocations), we have recently hit out-of-bounds crashes, due to slight
differences in iov_iter behavior between the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES and
"regular" copy paths:
(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)
skb_splice_from_iter
iov_iter_extract_pages
iov_iter_extract_bvec_pages
uses i->nr_segs to correctly stop in its tracks before OoB'ing everywhere
skb_splice_from_iter gets a "short" read
(!MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)
skb_copy_to_page_nocache copy=iov_iter_count
[...]
copy_from_iter
/* this doesn't help */
if (unlikely(iter->count < len))
len = iter->count;
iterate_bvec
... and we run off the bvecs
Fix this by properly setting the iov_iter's byte count, plus sending the
correct byte count to tcp_sendmsg_locked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Add error handling for krealloc in metadata setup
Function msm_ioctl_gem_info_set_metadata() now checks for krealloc
failure and returns -ENOMEM, avoiding potential NULL pointer dereference.
Explicitly avoids __GFP_NOFAIL due to deadlock risks and allocation constraints.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Forget ranges when refining tnum after JSET
Syzbot reported a kernel warning due to a range invariant violation on
the following BPF program.
0: call bpf_get_netns_cookie
1: if r0 == 0 goto <exit>
2: if r0 & Oxffffffff goto <exit>
The issue is on the path where we fall through both jumps.
That path is unreachable at runtime: after insn 1, we know r0 != 0, but
with the sign extension on the jset, we would only fallthrough insn 2
if r0 == 0. Unfortunately, is_branch_taken() isn't currently able to
figure this out, so the verifier walks all branches. The verifier then
refines the register bounds using the second condition and we end
up with inconsistent bounds on this unreachable path:
1: if r0 == 0 goto <exit>
r0: u64=[0x1, 0xffffffffffffffff] var_off=(0, 0xffffffffffffffff)
2: if r0 & 0xffffffff goto <exit>
r0 before reg_bounds_sync: u64=[0x1, 0xffffffffffffffff] var_off=(0, 0)
r0 after reg_bounds_sync: u64=[0x1, 0] var_off=(0, 0)
Improving the range refinement for JSET to cover all cases is tricky. We
also don't expect many users to rely on JSET given LLVM doesn't generate
those instructions. So instead of improving the range refinement for
JSETs, Eduard suggested we forget the ranges whenever we're narrowing
tnums after a JSET. This patch implements that approach.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Correct tid cleanup when tid setup fails
Currently, if any error occurs during ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_setup(),
the tid value is already incremented, even though the corresponding
TID is not actually allocated. Proceed to
ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_delete() starting from unallocated tid,
which might leads to freeing unallocated TID and cause potential
crash or out-of-bounds access.
Hence, fix by correctly decrementing tid before cleanup to match only
the successfully allocated TIDs.
Also, remove tid-- from failure case of ath12k_dp_rx_peer_frag_setup(),
as decrementing the tid before cleanup in loop will take care of this.
Compile tested only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ work
During rcu_read_unlock_special(), if this happens during irq_exit(), we
can lockup if an IPI is issued. This is because the IPI itself triggers
the irq_exit() path causing a recursive lock up.
This is precisely what Xiongfeng found when invoking a BPF program on
the trace_tick_stop() tracepoint As shown in the trace below. Fix by
managing the irq_work state correctly.
irq_exit()
__irq_exit_rcu()
/* in_hardirq() returns false after this */
preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET)
tick_irq_exit()
tick_nohz_irq_exit()
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
trace_tick_stop() /* a bpf prog is hooked on this trace point */
__bpf_trace_tick_stop()
bpf_trace_run2()
rcu_read_unlock_special()
/* will send a IPI to itself */
irq_work_queue_on(&rdp->defer_qs_iw, rdp->cpu);
A simple reproducer can also be obtained by doing the following in
tick_irq_exit(). It will hang on boot without the patch:
static inline void tick_irq_exit(void)
{
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ WRITE_ONCE(current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs, true);
+ rcu_read_unlock();

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath10k: shutdown driver when hardware is unreliable
In rare cases, ath10k may lose connection with the PCIe bus due to
some unknown reasons, which could further lead to system crashes during
resuming due to watchdog timeout:
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: wmi command 20486 timeout, restarting hardware
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: already restarting
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to stop WMI vdev 0: -11
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to stop vdev 0: -11
ieee80211 phy0: PM: **** DPM device timeout ****
Call Trace:

dpm_watchdog_set+0x54/0x54
dpm_watchdog_handler+0x57/0x57
call_timer_fn+0x31/0x13c
At this point, all WMI commands will timeout and attempt to restart
device. So set a threshold for consecutive restart failures. If the
threshold is exceeded, consider the hardware is unreliable and all
ath10k operations should be skipped to avoid system crash.
fail_cont_count and pending_recovery are atomic variables, and
do not involve complex conditional logic. Therefore, even if recovery
check and reconfig complete are executed concurrently, the recovery
mechanism will not be broken.
