| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tp_meter: directly shut down timer on cleanup
batadv_tp_sender_cleanup() was calling timer_delete_sync() followed by
timer_delete() to guard against the timer handler re-arming itself between
the two calls. This double-deletion hack relied on the sending status being
set to 0 to suppress re-arming.
Replace both calls with a single timer_shutdown_sync(). This function both
waits for any running timer callback to complete (like timer_delete_sync())
and permanently disarms the timer so it cannot be re-armed afterwards,
making re-arming prevention unconditional and self-documenting.
The re-arming property is also required because otherwise:
1. context 0 (batadv_tp_recv_ack()) checks in
batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer() if sending is still 1 -> it is
2. context 1 changes in batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() sending to 0 and in
this process forces the kthread to stop timer in
batadv_tp_sender_cleanup()
3. context 0 continues in batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer() and rearms the
timer -> but the reference for it is already gone |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix UAF in hci_le_create_cis_sync
hci_le_create_cis_sync() dereferences conn->conn_timeout after releasing
both rcu_read_lock() and hci_dev_lock(hdev). The conn pointer was
obtained from an RCU-protected iteration over hdev->conn_hash.list and
is not valid once these locks are dropped. A concurrent disconnect can
free the hci_conn between the unlock and the dereference, causing a
use-after-free read.
The cancellation mechanism in hci_conn_del() cannot prevent this because
hci_le_create_cis_pending() queues hci_create_cis_sync with data=NULL:
hci_cmd_sync_queue(hdev, hci_create_cis_sync, NULL, NULL);
While hci_conn_del() dequeues with data=conn:
hci_cmd_sync_dequeue(hdev, NULL, conn, NULL);
Since NULL != conn, the lookup in _hci_cmd_sync_lookup_entry() never
matches, and the pending work item is not cancelled.
Fix this by saving conn->conn_timeout into a local variable while the
locks are still held, so the stale conn pointer is never dereferenced
after unlock.
This is the same class of bug as the one fixed by commit 035c25007c9e
("Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF on le_read_features_complete") which
addressed the identical pattern in a different function.
This vulnerability was identified using 0sec.ai, an open-source
automated security auditing platform (https://github.com/0sec-labs). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irq_work: Fix use-after-free in irq_work_single() on PREEMPT_RT
On PREEMPT_RT, non-HARD irq_work runs in per-CPU kthreads via
run_irq_workd(), so irq_work_sync() uses rcuwait() to wait for BUSY==0.
After irq_work_single() clears BUSY via atomic_cmpxchg(), it still
dereferences @work for irq_work_is_hard() and rcuwait_wake_up().
An irq_work_sync() caller on another CPU that enters after BUSY is cleared
can observe BUSY==0 immediately, return, and free the work before those
accesses complete — causing a use-after-free.
Fix this by wrapping run_irq_workd() in guard(rcu)() so that the entire
irq_work_single() execution is within an RCU read-side critical
section. Then add synchronize_rcu() in irq_work_sync() after
rcuwait_wait_event() to ensure the caller waits for the RCU grace period
before returning, preventing premature frees. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: tcp - use cached peer pointer in ovpn_tcp_close()
ovpn_tcp_close() loads the ovpn_socket via rcu_dereference_sk_user_data()
under rcu_read_lock(), takes a reference on sock->peer, caches the peer
pointer in a local, and drops the read lock. It then passes sock->peer
(rather than the cached local) to ovpn_peer_del(), re-dereferencing the
ovpn_socket after the RCU read section has ended.
Unlike ovpn_tcp_sendmsg(), which uses the same "load under RCU, use
after unlock" pattern but is protected by lock_sock() held across the
function, ovpn_tcp_close() runs without the socket lock: inet_release()
invokes sk_prot->close() without taking lock_sock first.
ovpn_socket_release() can therefore complete its kref_put -> detach ->
synchronize_rcu -> kfree(sock) sequence concurrently, in the window
after ovpn_tcp_close() drops rcu_read_lock() but before it dereferences
sock->peer. The synchronize_rcu() in ovpn_socket_release() protects
readers that use the dereferenced pointer inside the RCU read section,
not those that escape the pointer to a local and use it afterwards.
A reproducer follows the pattern of commit 94560267d6c4 ("ovpn: tcp -
don't deref NULL sk_socket member after tcp_close()"): trigger a peer
removal (keepalive expiration or netlink OVPN_CMD_DEL_PEER) at the same
moment userspace closes the TCP fd. That commit fixed the detach-side
of the same race window; this one fixes the close-side at a different
victim.
Tighten the entry block to read sock->peer exactly once into the cached
peer local, and route all subsequent uses (the hold check, the
ovpn_peer_del() call, and the prot->close() invocation) through that
local. sock->peer is only ever written once in ovpn_socket_new() under
lock_sock(), before rcu_assign_sk_user_data() publishes the ovpn_socket,
and is never reassigned afterwards - but the previous multi-read pattern
made that invariant implicit rather than explicit. The same multi-read
shape exists in ovpn_tcp_recvmsg(), ovpn_tcp_sendmsg(),
ovpn_tcp_data_ready() and ovpn_tcp_write_space(); those will be cleaned
up via a dedicated helper in a follow-up net-next series. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fhandle: fix UAF due to unlocked ->mnt_ns read in may_decode_fh()
may_decode_fh() accesses mount::mnt_ns without holding any locks; that
means the mount can concurrently be unmounted, and the mnt_namespace can
concurrently be freed after an RCU grace period.
This race can happens as follows, assuming that the mount point was
created by open_tree(..., OPEN_TREE_CLONE):
thread 1 thread 2 RCU
__do_sys_open_by_handle_at
do_handle_open
handle_to_path
may_decode_fh
is_mounted
[mount::mnt_ns access]
[mount::mnt_ns access]
__do_sys_close
fput_close_sync
__fput
dissolve_on_fput
umount_tree
class_namespace_excl_destructor
namespace_unlock
free_mnt_ns
mnt_ns_tree_remove
call_rcu(mnt_ns_release_rcu)
mnt_ns_release_rcu
mnt_ns_release
kfree
[mnt_namespace::user_ns access] **UAF**
Fix it by taking rcu_read_lock() around the mount::mnt_ns access, like
in __prepend_path().
Additionally, document the semantics of mount::mnt_ns, and use WRITE_ONCE()
for writers that can race with lockless readers.
This bug is unreachable unless one of the following is set:
- CONFIG_PREEMPTION
- CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD
because it requires an RCU grace period to happen during a syscall without
an explicit preemption.
This doesn't seem to have interesting security impact; worst-case, it could
leak the result of an integer comparison to userspace (from the level
check in cap_capable()), cause an endless loop, or crash the kernel by
dereferencing an invalid address. |
| FreeRDP before 3.22.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in dvcman_channel_close and dvcman_call_on_receive due to improper synchronization of channel_callback access. A malicious RDP server can trigger a race condition by sending DYNVC_DATA and DYNVC_CLOSE messages concurrently, causing heap-use-after-free in the drdynvc client thread and potentially enabling remote code execution or denial of service. |
| Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. Prior to 3.17.2, Oj::Doc iterators (each_value, each_child, each_leaf) were vulnerable to a heap use-after-free. When a Ruby block yielded during iteration calls doc.close or d.close, the document's heap memory is freed while the C iterator is still running. When control returns from the block, the iterator reads from the freed region, producing a use-after-free accessible from pure Ruby. This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2. |
| A vulnerability was found in systemd-coredump. This flaw allows an attacker to force a SUID process to crash and replace it with a non-SUID binary to access the original's privileged process coredump, allowing the attacker to read sensitive data, such as /etc/shadow content, loaded by the original process.
A SUID binary or process has a special type of permission, which allows the process to run with the file owner's permissions, regardless of the user executing the binary. This allows the process to access more restricted data than unprivileged users or processes would be able to. An attacker can leverage this flaw by forcing a SUID process to crash and force the Linux kernel to recycle the process PID before systemd-coredump can analyze the /proc/pid/auxv file. If the attacker wins the race condition, they gain access to the original's SUID process coredump file. They can read sensitive content loaded into memory by the original binary, affecting data confidentiality. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: max77705: Free allocated workqueue and fix removal order
Use devm interface for allocating workqueue to fix two bugs at the same
time:
1. Driver leaks the memory on remove(), because the workqueue is not
destroyed.
2. Driver allocates workqueue and then registers interrupt handlers
with devm interface. This means that probe error paths will not use a
reversed order, but first destroy the workqueue and then, via devm
release handlers, free the interrupt.
The interrupt handler schedules work on this exact workqueue, thus if
interrupt is hit in this short time window - after destroying
workqueue, but before devm() frees the interrupt - the schedulled
work will lead to use of freed memory.
Change is not equivalent in the workqueue itself: use non-legacy API
which does not set (__WQ_LEGACY | WQ_MEM_RECLAIM). The workqueue is
used to update power supply (power_supply_changed()) status, thus there
is no point to run it for memory reclaim. Note that dev_name() is not
directly used in second argument to prevent possible unlikely parsing
any "%" character in device name as format. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: Fix UAF at snd_timer_user_params()
At releasing a timer object, e.g. when a userspace timer
(CONFIG_SND_UTIMER) gets closed and snd_timer_free() is called, it
tries to detach the timer instances and release the resources.
However, it's still possible that other in-flight tasks are holding
the timer instance where the to-be-deleted timer object is associated,
and this may lead to racy accesses.
Fortunately, most of ioctls dealing with the timer instance list
already have the protection with register_mutex, and this also avoids
such races. But, SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS isn't protected, hence the
concurrent ioctl may lead to use-after-free.
This patch just adds the guard with register_mutex to protect
snd_timer_user_params() for covering the code path as a quick
workaround. It's no hot-path but rather a rarely issued ioctl, so the
performance penalty doesn't matter. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free from async crypto on Qualcomm crypto engine
ksmbd_crypt_message() sets a NULL completion callback on AEAD requests
and does not handle the -EINPROGRESS return code from async hardware
crypto engines like the Qualcomm Crypto Engine (QCE). When QCE returns
-EINPROGRESS, ksmbd treats it as an error and immediately frees the
request while the hardware DMA operation is still in flight. The DMA
completion callback then dereferences freed memory, causing a NULL
pointer crash:
pc : qce_skcipher_done+0x24/0x174
lr : vchan_complete+0x230/0x27c
...
el1h_64_irq+0x68/0x6c
ksmbd_free_work_struct+0x20/0x118 [ksmbd]
ksmbd_exit_file_cache+0x694/0xa4c [ksmbd]
Use the standard crypto_wait_req() pattern with crypto_req_done() as
the completion callback, matching the approach used by the SMB client
in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c. This properly handles both synchronous
engines (immediate return) and async engines (-EINPROGRESS followed
by callback notification). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Free reuseport cBPF prog after RCU grace period.
Eulgyu Kim reported the splat below with a repro. [0]
The repro sets up a UDP reuseport group with a cBPF prog and
replaces it with a new one while another thread is sending
a UDP packet to the group.
The reuseport prog is freed by sk_reuseport_prog_free().
bpf_prog_put() is called for "e"BPF prog to destruct through
multiple stages while cBPF prog is freed immediately by
bpf_release_orig_filter() and bpf_prog_free().
If a reuseport prog is detached from the setsockopt() path
(reuseport_attach_prog() or reuseport_detach_prog()),
sk_reuseport_prog_free() is called without waiting for RCU
readers to complete, resulting in various bugs.
Let's defer freeing the reuseport cBPF prog after one RCU
grace period.
Note "e"BPF prog is safe as is unless the fast path starts
to touch fields destroyed in bpf_prog_put_deferred() and
__bpf_prog_put_noref().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_api: use RCU with deferred freeing for action lifecycle
When NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER are run concurrently it is possible to create a
race with an associated action.
Let's illustrate with CPU0 running NEWTFILTER and CPU1 running DELFILTER:
0: mutex_lock() <-- holds the idr lock
0: rcu_read_lock()
0: p = idr_find(idr, index) <-- action p is valid (RCU protects IDR)
0: mutex_unlock() <-- releases the idr lock
1: refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock() <-- refcnt 1->0, mutex held
1: idr_remove(idr, index) <-- Action removed from IDR
1: mutex_unlock() <-- mutex released allowing us to delete the action
1: tcf_action_cleanup(p); kfree(p) <-- Kfrees p immediately, no deferral
0: refcount_inc_not_zero(&p->tcfa_refcnt) <-- ouch, UAF p points to freed memory
This patch fixes the race condition between NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER by
adding struct rcu_head to tc_action used in the deferral and introducing a
call_rcu() in the delete path to defer the final kfree().
Note: this is a revert of commit d7fb60b9cafb ("net_sched: get rid of tcfa_rcu")
but also modernization/simplification to directly use kfree_rcu().
Let's illustrate the new restored code path:
0: rcu_read_lock()
1: refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock() <-- refcnt 1->0, mutex held
1: idr_remove(idr, index)
1: mutex_unlock()
1: call_rcu(&p->tcfa_rcu, tcf_action_rcu_free) <-- defer kfree after grace period
0: p = idr_find(idr, index)
0: refcount_inc_not_zero(&p->tcfa_refcnt) <-- fails, refcnt already 0
1: rcu_read_unlock() <-- release so freeing can run after grace period
After CPU1 calls idr_remove(), the object is no longer reachable through the IDR.
CPU0's subsequent idr_find() will return NULL, and even if it still held a
stale pointer, the immediate kfree() is now deferred until after the RCU grace
period, so no UAF can occur. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: hold listener socket in rfcomm_connect_ind()
rfcomm_get_sock_by_channel() scans rfcomm_sk_list under the list lock,
but returns the selected listener after dropping that lock without
taking a reference. rfcomm_connect_ind() then locks the listener,
queues a child socket on it, and may notify it after unlocking it.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
rfcomm_connect_ind(): listener close:
1. Find parent in 1. close() enters
rfcomm_get_sock_by_channel() rfcomm_sock_release().
2. Drop rfcomm_sk_list.lock 2. rfcomm_sock_shutdown()
without pinning parent. closes the listener.
3. Call lock_sock(parent) and 3. rfcomm_sock_kill()
bt_accept_enqueue(parent, unlinks and puts parent.
sk, true).
4. Read parent flags and may 4. parent can be freed.
call sk_state_change().
If close wins the race, parent can be freed before
rfcomm_connect_ind() reaches lock_sock(), bt_accept_enqueue(), or the
deferred-setup callback.
Take a reference on the listener before leaving rfcomm_sk_list.lock.
After lock_sock() succeeds, recheck that it is still in BT_LISTEN
before queueing a child, cache the deferred-setup bit while the parent
is locked, and drop the reference after the last parent use.
KASAN reported a slab-use-after-free in lock_sock_nested() from
rfcomm_connect_ind(), with the freeing stack going through
rfcomm_sock_kill() and rfcomm_sock_release(). |

zram: fix use-after-free in zram_bvec_write_partial()
zram_read_page() picks the sync or async backing device read path based on
whether the parent bio is NULL. zram_bvec_write_partial() passes its
parent bio down, so for ZRAM_WB slots the read is dispatched
asynchronously and zram_read_page() returns 0 while the bio is still in
flight. The caller then runs memcpy_from_bvec(), zram_write_page() and
__free_page() on the buffer, leaving the async read to write into a freed
page.
zram_bvec_read_partial() was switched to NULL in commit 4e3c87b9421d
("zram: fix synchronous reads") for the same reason; the write_partial
counterpart was missed. |

Bluetooth: fix locking in hci_conn_request_evt() with HCI_PROTO_DEFER
When protocol sets HCI_PROTO_DEFER, hci_conn_request_evt() calls
hci_connect_cfm(conn) without hdev->lock. Generally hci_connect_cfm()
assumes it is held, and if conn is deleted concurrently -> UAF.
Only SCO and ISO set HCI_PROTO_DEFER and only for defer setup listen,
and HCI_EV_CONN_REQUEST is not generated for ISO. In the non-deferred
listening socket code paths, hci_connect_cfm(conn) is called with
hdev->lock held.

callback (idpf_vport_adev_release / idpf_core_adev_release) that frees
iadev. The fall-through then reads adev->id from the freed iadev for
ida_free() and double-frees iadev with kfree().
Free the IDA slot and clear the back-pointer before uninit, while adev
is still valid, then return immediately.
Commit 65637c3a1811 ("idpf: fix UAF in RDMA core aux dev deinitialization")
fixed the same use-after-free in the matching unplug path in this file but
missed both probe error paths. |
