| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5: fix possible null-pointer dereferences in raid5_store_group_thread_cnt()
The variable mddev->private is first assigned to conf and then checked:
conf = mddev->private;
if (!conf) ...
If conf is NULL, then mddev->private is also NULL. In this case,
null-pointer dereferences can occur when calling raid5_quiesce():
raid5_quiesce(mddev, true);
raid5_quiesce(mddev, false);
since mddev->private is assigned to conf again in raid5_quiesce(), and conf
is dereferenced in several places, for example:
conf->quiesce = 0;
wake_up(&conf->wait_for_quiescent);
To fix this issue, the function should unlock mddev and return before
invoking raid5_quiesce() when conf is NULL, following the existing pattern
in raid5_change_consistency_policy(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: amd: acp: Fix incorrect retrival of acp_chip_info
Use dev_get_drvdata(dev->parent) instead of dev_get_platdata(dev)
to correctly obtain acp_chip_info members in the acp I2S driver.
Previously, some members were not updated properly due to incorrect
data access, which could potentially lead to null pointer
dereferences.
This issue was missed in the earlier commit
("ASoC: amd: acp: Fix NULL pointer deref in acp_i2s_set_tdm_slot"),
which only addressed set_tdm_slot(). This change ensures that all
relevant functions correctly retrieve acp_chip_info, preventing
further null pointer dereference issues. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Harden uplink netdev access against device unbind
The function mlx5_uplink_netdev_get() gets the uplink netdevice
pointer from mdev->mlx5e_res.uplink_netdev. However, the netdevice can
be removed and its pointer cleared when unbound from the mlx5_core.eth
driver. This results in a NULL pointer, causing a kernel panic.

Ensure the pointer is valid before use by checking it for NULL. If it
is valid, immediately call netdev_hold() to take a reference, and
preventing the netdevice from being freed while it is in use. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: rfkill: gpio: Fix crash due to dereferencering uninitialized pointer
Since commit 7d5e9737efda ("net: rfkill: gpio: get the name and type from
device property") rfkill_find_type() gets called with the possibly
uninitialized "const char *type_name;" local variable.
On x86 systems when rfkill-gpio binds to a "BCM4752" or "LNV4752"
acpi_device, the rfkill->type is set based on the ACPI acpi_device_id:
rfkill->type = (unsigned)id->driver_data;
and there is no "type" property so device_property_read_string() will fail
and leave type_name uninitialized, leading to a potential crash.
rfkill_find_type() does accept a NULL pointer, fix the potential crash
by initializing type_name to NULL.
Note likely sofar this has not been caught because:
1. Not many x86 machines actually have a "BCM4752"/"LNV4752" acpi_device
2. The stack happened to contain NULL where type_name is stored |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tee: fix NULL pointer dereference in tee_shm_put
tee_shm_put have NULL pointer dereference:
__optee_disable_shm_cache -->
shm = reg_pair_to_ptr(...);//shm maybe return NULL
tee_shm_free(shm); -->
tee_shm_put(shm);//crash
Add check in tee_shm_put to fix it.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: prevent NULL pointer dereference in UTF16 conversion
There can be a NULL pointer dereference bug here. NULL is passed to
__cifs_sfu_make_node without checks, which passes it unchecked to
cifs_strndup_to_utf16, which in turn passes it to
cifs_local_to_utf16_bytes where '*from' is dereferenced, causing a crash.
This patch adds a check for NULL 'src' in cifs_strndup_to_utf16 and
returns NULL early to prevent dereferencing NULL pointer.

drm/hisilicon/hibmc: fix the hibmc loaded failed bug
When hibmc loaded failed, the driver use hibmc_unload to free the
resource, but the mutexes in mode.config are not init, which will
access an NULL pointer. Just change goto statement to return, because
hibnc_hw_init() doesn't need to free anything. |

net: usb: asix_devices: add phy_mask for ax88772 mdio bus
Without setting phy_mask for ax88772 mdio bus, current driver may create
at most 32 mdio phy devices with phy address range from 0x00 ~ 0x1f.
DLink DUB-E100 H/W Ver B1 is such a device. However, only one main phy
device will bind to net phy driver. This is creating issue during system
suspend/resume since phy_polling_mode() in phy_state_machine() will
directly deference member of phydev->drv for non-main phy devices. Then
NULL pointer dereference issue will occur. Due to only external phy or
internal phy is necessary, add phy_mask for ax88772 mdio bus to workarnoud
the issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: core: Check for rtd == NULL in snd_soc_remove_pcm_runtime()
snd_soc_remove_pcm_runtime() might be called with rtd == NULL which will
leads to null pointer dereference.
This was reproduced with topology loading and marking a link as ignore
due to missing hardware component on the system.
On module removal the soc_tplg_remove_link() would call
snd_soc_remove_pcm_runtime() with rtd == NULL since the link was ignored,
no runtime was created. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libiscsi: Initialize iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is allocated
In case of an ib_fast_reg_mr allocation failure during iSER setup, the
machine hits a panic because iscsi_conn->dd_data is initialized
unconditionally, even when no memory is allocated (dd_size == 0). This
leads invalid pointer dereference during connection teardown.
Fix by setting iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is actually allocated.

net/sched: ets: use old 'nbands' while purging unused classes
Shuang reported sch_ets test-case [1] crashing in ets_class_qlen_notify()
after recent changes from Lion [2]. The problem is: in ets_qdisc_change()
we purge unused DWRR queues; the value of 'q->nbands' is the new one, and
the cleanup should be done with the old one. The problem is here since my
first attempts to fix ets_qdisc_change(), but it surfaced again after the
recent qdisc len accounting fixes. Fix it purging idle DWRR queues before
assigning a new value of 'q->nbands', so that all purge operations find a
consistent configuration:
- old 'q->nbands' because it's needed by ets_class_find()
- old 'q->nstrict' because it's needed by ets_class_is_strict()

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hv_netvsc: Fix panic during namespace deletion with VF
The existing code move the VF NIC to new namespace when NETDEV_REGISTER is
received on netvsc NIC. During deletion of the namespace,
default_device_exit_batch() >> default_device_exit_net() is called. When
netvsc NIC is moved back and registered to the default namespace, it
automatically brings VF NIC back to the default namespace. This will cause
the default_device_exit_net() >> for_each_netdev_safe loop unable to detect
the list end, and hit NULL ptr:

To fix it, move the ns change to a workqueue, and take rtnl_lock to avoid
changing the netdev list when default_device_exit_net() is using it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "drm/prime: Use dma_buf from GEM object instance"
This reverts commit f83a9b8c7fd0557b0c50784bfdc1bbe9140c9bf8.
The dma_buf field in struct drm_gem_object is not stable over the
object instance's lifetime. The field becomes NULL when user space
releases the final GEM handle on the buffer object. This resulted
in a NULL-pointer deref.
Workarounds in commit 5307dce878d4 ("drm/gem: Acquire references on
GEM handles for framebuffers") and commit f6bfc9afc751 ("drm/framebuffer:
Acquire internal references on GEM handles") only solved the problem
partially. They especially don't work for buffer objects without a DRM
framebuffer associated.
Hence, this revert to going back to using .import_attach->dmabuf.
