Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: set fileio bio failed in short read case
For file-backed mount, IO requests are handled by vfs_iocb_iter_read().
However, it can be interrupted by SIGKILL, returning the number of
bytes actually copied. Unused folios in bio are unexpectedly marked
as uptodate.
vfs_read
filemap_read
filemap_get_pages
filemap_readahead
erofs_fileio_readahead
erofs_fileio_rq_submit
vfs_iocb_iter_read
filemap_read
filemap_get_pages <= detect signal
erofs_fileio_ki_complete <= set all folios uptodate
This patch addresses this by setting short read bio with an error
directly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_key: validate families in pfkey_send_migrate()
syzbot was able to trigger a crash in skb_put() [1]
Issue is that pfkey_send_migrate() does not check old/new families,
and that set_ipsecrequest() @family argument was truncated,
thus possibly overfilling the skb.
Validate families early, do not wait set_ipsecrequest().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix fanout UAF in packet_release() via NETDEV_UP race
`packet_release()` has a race window where `NETDEV_UP` can re-register a
socket into a fanout group's `arr[]` array. The re-registration is not
cleaned up by `fanout_release()`, leaving a dangling pointer in the fanout
array.
`packet_release()` does NOT zero `po->num` in its `bind_lock` section.
After releasing `bind_lock`, `po->num` is still non-zero and `po->ifindex`
still matches the bound device. A concurrent `packet_notifier(NETDEV_UP)`
that already found the socket in `sklist` can re-register the hook.
For fanout sockets, this re-registration calls `__fanout_link(sk, po)`
which adds the socket back into `f->arr[]` and increments `f->num_members`,
but does NOT increment `f->sk_ref`.
The fix sets `po->num` to zero in `packet_release` while `bind_lock` is
held to prevent NETDEV_UP from linking, preventing the race window.
This bug was found following an additional audit with Claude Code based
on CVE-2025-38617.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: fix out-of-bounds writes in iavf_get_ethtool_stats()
iavf incorrectly uses real_num_tx_queues for ETH_SS_STATS. Since the
value could change in runtime, we should use num_tx_queues instead.
Moreover iavf_get_ethtool_stats() uses num_active_queues while
iavf_get_sset_count() and iavf_get_stat_strings() use
real_num_tx_queues, which triggers out-of-bounds writes when we do
"ethtool -L" and "ethtool -S" simultaneously [1].
For example when we change channels from 1 to 8, Thread 3 could be
scheduled before Thread 2, and out-of-bounds writes could be triggered
in Thread 3:
Thread 1 (ethtool -L) Thread 2 (work) Thread 3 (ethtool -S)
iavf_set_channels()
...
iavf_alloc_queues()
-> num_active_queues = 8
iavf_schedule_finish_config()
iavf_get_sset_count()
real_num_tx_queues: 1
-> buffer for 1 queue
iavf_get_ethtool_stats()
num_active_queues: 8
-> out-of-bounds!
iavf_finish_config()
-> real_num_tx_queues = 8
Use immutable num_tx_queues in all related functions to avoid the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix double-free of smc_spd_priv when tee() duplicates splice pipe buffer
smc_rx_splice() allocates one smc_spd_priv per pipe_buffer and stores
the pointer in pipe_buffer.private. The pipe_buf_operations for these
buffers used .get = generic_pipe_buf_get, which only increments the page
reference count when tee(2) duplicates a pipe buffer. The smc_spd_priv
pointer itself was not handled, so after tee() both the original and the
cloned pipe_buffer share the same smc_spd_priv *.
When both pipes are subsequently released, smc_rx_pipe_buf_release() is
called twice against the same object:
1st call: kfree(priv) sock_put(sk) smc_rx_update_cons() [correct]
2nd call: kfree(priv) sock_put(sk) smc_rx_update_cons() [UAF]
KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in smc_rx_pipe_buf_release(), which
then escalates to a NULL-pointer dereference and kernel panic via
smc_rx_update_consumer() when it chases the freed priv->smc pointer:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Beyond the memory-safety problem, duplicating an SMC splice buffer is
semantically questionable: smc_rx_update_cons() would advance the
consumer cursor twice for the same data, corrupting receive-window
accounting. A refcount on smc_spd_priv could fix the double-free, but
the cursor-accounting issue would still need to be addressed separately.
The .get callback is invoked by both tee(2) and splice_pipe_to_pipe()
for partial transfers; both will now return -EFAULT. Users who need
to duplicate SMC socket data must use a copy-based read path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: Avoid releasing netdev before teardown completes
The patch cited in the Fixes tag below changed the teardown code for
OVS ports to no longer unconditionally take the RTNL. After this change,
the netdev_destroy() callback can proceed immediately to the call_rcu()
invocation if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag is already cleared on the
netdev.
The ovs_netdev_detach_dev() function clears the flag before completing
the unregistration, and if it gets preempted after clearing the flag (as
can happen on an -rt kernel), netdev_destroy() can complete and the
device can be freed before the unregistration completes. This leads to a
splat like:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: fix circular locking dependency in nci_close_device
nci_close_device() flushes rx_wq and tx_wq while holding req_lock.
This causes a circular locking dependency because nci_rx_work()
running on rx_wq can end up taking req_lock too:
nci_rx_work -> nci_rx_data_packet -> nci_data_exchange_complete
-> __sk_destruct -> rawsock_destruct -> nfc_deactivate_target
-> nci_deactivate_target -> nci_request -> mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock)
Move the flush of rx_wq after req_lock has been released.
This should safe (I think) because NCI_UP has already been cleared
and the transport is closed, so the work will see it and return
-ENETDOWN.
NIPA has been hitting this running the nci selftest with a debug
kernel on roughly 4% of the runs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix ERTM re-init and zero pdu_len infinite loop
l2cap_config_req() processes CONFIG_REQ for channels in BT_CONNECTED
state to support L2CAP reconfiguration (e.g. MTU changes). However,
since both CONF_INPUT_DONE and CONF_OUTPUT_DONE are already set from
the initial configuration, the reconfiguration path falls through to
l2cap_ertm_init(), which re-initializes tx_q, srej_q, srej_list, and
retrans_list without freeing the previous allocations and sets
chan->sdu to NULL without freeing the existing skb. This leaks all
previously allocated ERTM resources.
Additionally, l2cap_parse_conf_req() does not validate the minimum
value of remote_mps derived from the RFC max_pdu_size option. A zero
value propagates to l2cap_segment_sdu() where pdu_len becomes zero,
causing the while loop to never terminate since len is never
decremented, exhausting all available memory.
Fix the double-init by skipping l2cap_ertm_init() and
l2cap_chan_ready() when the channel is already in BT_CONNECTED state,
while still allowing the reconfiguration parameters to be updated
through l2cap_parse_conf_req(). Also add a pdu_len zero check in
l2cap_segment_sdu() as a safeguard.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix deadlock in l2cap_conn_del()
l2cap_conn_del() calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() for both info_timer
and id_addr_timer while holding conn->lock. However, the work functions
l2cap_info_timeout() and l2cap_conn_update_id_addr() both acquire
conn->lock, creating a potential AB-BA deadlock if the work is already
executing when l2cap_conn_del() takes the lock.
Move the work cancellations before acquiring conn->lock and use
disable_delayed_work_sync() to additionally prevent the works from
being rearmed after cancellation, consistent with the pattern used in
hci_conn_del().
