xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm6: fix out-of-bounds write in xfrm6_input_addr() when secpath is full
The depth check in xfrm6_input_addr() is off by one:
if (1 + sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH)
goto drop;
...
sp->xvec[sp->len++] = x;
xfrm_input() can leave sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH, and the transport-mode
receive path re-enters IPv6 input via xfrm_trans_reinject() with that
secpath preserved. If the inner packet carries a destination-options HAO
option or a type-2 routing header, xfrm6_input_addr() is called with
sp->len == XFRM_MAX_DEPTH; the check (1 + 6 == 6) is false, so
sp->xvec[sp->len++] writes one slot past the 6-element xvec[]. The write
stays within the sec_path allocation (invisible to KASAN); UBSAN_BOUNDS
flags it and panics under panic_on_warn.
Use "sp->len >= XFRM_MAX_DEPTH", matching xfrm_input(). This also
restores one chain level the old check rejected at sp->len == 5.

fs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entries
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entries
During $LogFile replay, log_replay() indexes the transaction table by the
transact_id taken from the log record header. check_log_rec() only
verifies that transact_id is non-zero and properly aligned, not its
magnitude, so a crafted image can request an arbitrarily large index.
alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() grows the table to cover that index via
extend_rsttbl(), which passes the new entry count to init_rsttbl():
rt = init_rsttbl(esize, used + add);
used + add is computed as u32 but init_rsttbl() takes a u16, and the
count is stored in struct RESTART_TABLE as a __le16. When used + add
exceeds U16_MAX it is truncated, init_rsttbl() allocates a table far
smaller than the index requires, and alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() then
dereferences and writes at the original, untruncated offset -- an
out-of-bounds access past the allocation, reachable by mounting a
crafted NTFS image.

A restart table is limited to U16_MAX entries by its __le16 count, so a
larger growth request is invalid input. Reject it in extend_rsttbl();
all callers already handle a NULL return.

fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()
read_log_rec_buf() copies a log record into a caller buffer starting at
u32 off = lsn_to_page_off(log, lsn) + log->record_header_len;
log->record_header_len (and log->data_off, used for the following pages)
comes verbatim from the on-disk restart area and is only checked for
8-byte alignment in is_rst_area_valid(), so off can exceed
log->page_size. "tail = log->page_size - off" then underflows and
memcpy() reads past the page_size-sized buffer returned by
read_log_page(), spilling adjacent slab memory into the replay buffer.
This is reachable by mounting a crafted NTFS image:

net: qualcomm: rmnet: restore skb->dev on deaggregated frames
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qualcomm: rmnet: restore skb->dev on deaggregated frames
rmnet_map_deaggregate() allocates each sub-frame with alloc_skb() and
leaves skb->dev NULL. __rmnet_map_ingress_handler() assigns
skb->dev = ep->egress_dev only on the data path, but a MAP command frame
is dispatched to rmnet_map_command() before that, so rmnet_map_send_ack()
runs netif_tx_lock(skb->dev) on a NULL device. An unprivileged user
reaches this by unsharing a user+net namespace, creating an rmnet link
over a tap device with INGRESS_DEAGGREGATION and INGRESS_MAP_COMMANDS,
and writing an aggregated frame carrying a flow-control command to the
tap fd.
Restore the assignment dropped by 378e25357ac7, so every skb leaving
rmnet_map_deaggregate() has a valid device.

fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
When an EA record has a non-zero ef->size, ntfs_read_ea() only checks
that the record fits in the remaining buffer (ea_size > bytes), not that
ef->size is large enough to hold the record's own name_len + 1 + elength.
A crafted image can pass validation with, e.g., ef->size = 24 but
elength = 0xffff. ntfs_get_ea() then trusts elength and copies it out of
the undersized record, reading past the kmalloc(info->size) allocation
and leaking heap memory to userspace via getxattr():

isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block
zisofs_uncompress_block()'s empty-block fast path returns
pcount << PAGE_SHIFT, ignoring the incoming poffset, unlike the
decompression path which returns bytes produced relative to poffset.
zisofs_fill_pages() uses that return to advance its page cursor, so when
the zisofs block size is below PAGE_SIZE and a sub-page block leaves
poffset partway into a page, a following empty block over-counts and
advances pages[] one element past its end, after which
"if (poffset && *pages)" reads pages[1] out of bounds. rock.c only
rejects a block-size shift > 17, so a crafted "ZF" Rock Ridge record can
set it below PAGE_SHIFT; the bug is reached by an ordinary read() of a
compressed file on such a mounted ISO9660 image.
Return the byte count relative to poffset and zero only
[poffset, PAGE_SIZE) of the first page, matching the decompression path.
The page-aligned case (poffset == 0) is unaffected.

vfio/pci: clear vdev->msi_perm after freeing it on init failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: clear vdev->msi_perm after freeing it on init failure
vfio_msi_cap_len() lazily allocates the per-device MSI permission table:
vdev->msi_perm = kmalloc_obj(struct perm_bits, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
if (!vdev->msi_perm)
return -ENOMEM;
ret = init_pci_cap_msi_perm(vdev->msi_perm, len, flags);
if (ret) {
kfree(vdev->msi_perm);
return ret; /* vdev->msi_perm left dangling */
}
When init_pci_cap_msi_perm() -> alloc_perm_bits() fails with -ENOMEM, the
error path frees vdev->msi_perm but leaves the freed pointer stored in
it. vdev->msi_perm is not re-zeroed later because struct
vfio_pci_core_device is per-device and persists across open/close cycles,
and the vfio_config_init() error path returns without calling
vfio_config_free(). So the dangling pointer outlives the failed open.
That leads to two use-after-frees on the same device:
1. Reuse. The next vfio_config_init() sees the stale pointer at
"if (vdev->msi_perm) return len;" and reuses the freed object. MSI
config accesses in vfio_pci_config_rw_single() then dereference and
call the freed perm->readfn / perm->writefn function pointers.
2. Double free. A later vfio_config_free() runs free_perm_bits() and
kfree() on the already-freed object.
Fix it by NULLing vdev->msi_perm after the kfree(), matching the
NULL-after-free discipline already used in free_perm_bits() and
vfio_config_free().

vxlan: vnifilter: enforce exact length of GROUP/GROUP6 attributes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: vnifilter: enforce exact length of GROUP/GROUP6 attributes
The VXLAN VNI filter entry policy declares the GROUP/GROUP6 address
attributes as NLA_BINARY with only a maximum length, so validate_nla()
accepts a payload shorter than the address. The GROUP consumer reads it
with nla_get_in_addr(), an unconditional 4-byte load, so a short
attribute over-reads up to 3 bytes of uninitialised slab data, which are
stored into remote_ip and echoed back via RTM_GETTUNNEL, disclosing
kernel memory.
Switch both entries to NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN() so the validator rejects
any GROUP/GROUP6 that is not exactly 4 / 16 bytes; a valid address is
always sent at full width.

KVM: arm64: Handle negative S1 walk levels in VNCR TLB size evaluation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Handle negative S1 walk levels in VNCR TLB size evaluation
Computing the effects of a TLB invalidation involves looking at
the size of the mapping cached by the TLB. For S1 mappings such as
VNCR, this is deducted from the combination of the base granule size
and the mapping level.
However, this implies that the S1 MMU is *on*. When the MMU is off,
we indicate this with the level being set to a "creative" value of
-127 (S1_MMU_DISABLED).
This ends-up being misinterpreted by pgshift_level_to_ttl() as it
doesn't handle negative levels at all (the level is immediately cast
to a u8 and only the bottom two bits considered), leading to an
invalidation size of 0. Not helpful.
Tidy-up pgshift_level_to_ttl() to handle these negative levels, and
ttl_to_size() to always return SZ_1G when no valid TTL is present.
This allows the removal of open-coded checks for similar situations.
Note that the check for a negative value not explicitely checking for
S1_MMU_DISABLED is deliberate, so that actual negative levels introduced
with LVA2 and D128 can take the same path if we ever support them.

Bluetooth: SCO: hold sk properly in sco_conn_ready
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: SCO: hold sk properly in sco_conn_ready
sk deref in sco_conn_ready must be done either under conn->lock, or
holding a refcount, to avoid concurrent close. conn->sk and parent sk is
currently accessed without either, and without checking parent->sk_state:

and similarly for access to sco_get_sock_listen() return value.
Fix possible UAF by holding sk refcount in sco_conn_ready() and making
sco_get_sock_listen() increase refcount. Also recheck after lock_sock
that the socket is still valid. Adjust conn->sk locking so it's
protected also by lock_sock() of the associated socket if any.

btrfs: write-protect folios during data writeback
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: write-protect folios during data writeback
commit 095be159f3eb ("btrfs: unify folio dirty flag clearing") replaced
the folio_clear_dirty_for_io() call in extent_write_cache_pages() with a
plain folio_test_dirty() check. Besides clearing the dirty flag,
folio_clear_dirty_for_io() also calls folio_mkclean(), which write-protects
the shared mmap PTEs mapping the folio. Note that we still do call
folio_clear_dirty_for_io() later in submit_one_sector() when we clear
dirty on the last sector of the folio (the only sector for non-subpage
cases). But we lost this early call in extent_write_cache_pages().
Without the extra write-protection, a process with the file mmap-ed can
modify a sector while it is being used by writeback in a way that
expects a stable folio (checksumming, compressing, copying, etc...)
without faulting, which manifests as a handful of concrete bugs.
1. For large folios or subpage sectorsize, it is possible to submit a bio
which does not cover the whole folio. When this happens, we will have a
bio in flight for a folio that we have *not* called
folio_clear_dirty_for_io() on. If a task with an existing mmap-ed PTE
writes (without faulting..) in this window, it can result in
corruptions. If the write arrives while the checksumming or writing itself
is underway, this can result in an invalid checksum and later corruption
reports on read. If the write arrives after checksumming/writing is done
but before the last sector dirty is cleared, then the write is present
in page cache but doesn't affect the dirty tracking and will be lost
when the folio is fully finished being submitted and the dirty bit
is cleared. This results in losing the write even if fsync() is called.
2. For zoned submissions which are done in batch separate from the main
extent_writepage() loop, we also risk csum violations for those
submissions. Zoned writes are clamped to max_zone_append_size and are
not aligned with folios, so a submission can span two folios. The first
folio being processed in extent_write_cache_pages() will call
extent_write_locked_range() which will submit the partial range of the
next folio, while the rest of that folio could still be dirty. So
clearing dirty on the submitted sectors doesn't call
folio_clear_dirty_for_io() and we have the same issue. Since
extent_write_cache_pages() skips these batch submitted folios (they are
already marked for writeback from submission by the preceding folio), we
must add the extra write protection in lock_delalloc_folios().
3. For inline extents this will subtly risk losing writes that happen
after/while we copy the inline extent but before we clear dirty on
the folio.
4. For folios spanning EOF, mmap could tamper with the zeroed bytes past
EOF and cause them to be persisted where future faults would improperly
see them instead of zeros.
5. Finally, for compressed extents, we risk modifying the folios while we
work on compressing them which will result in corrupted compressed data.
Specifically, in run_delalloc_compressed() we queue up work to do
compress_file_range() in BTRFS_COMPRESSION_CHUNK_SIZE (512K) chunks which
will call btrfs_folio_clamp_clear_dirty() on the range. For non-subpage,
this will always clear the whole folio, safely. For subpage, we risk a
partial clear here as well. In particular, imagine a 2M folio broken up
into 512K chunks of work which might start compression work on one chunk
before all the chunks compress_file_range() workers have gotten far
enough to finish clearing all the dirty bitmaps of the folio and getting
to folio_clear_dirty_for_io(). Large folios on the edges of submission
ranges are similarly at risk to be only partly cleared.
This particular gap was introduced by a second patch in the same series:
commit a4ef54dbb576 ("btrfs: make extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io() to handle sector size < page size cases")
We cannot simply restore the call to folio_clear

ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers
trace_buffer subbuf_size is read lockless in ring_buffer_read_page() and

Instead of trace_buffer::subbuf_size, use bpage::order in

In ring_buffer_read_start(), even with resize_disabled, there is still a
possibility of a race with a buffer modification. Hold the trace_buffer
mutex to synchronise with any pending ring buffer order modification.
trace_buffer::subbuf_size is now actually useless, remove it. Also,
create accessors rb_subbuf_capacity() and rb_page_capacity() which
return the actual size available for storing events, while
rb_subbuf_size() returns the actual subbuf page-size.

clocksource/drivers/nxp-pit: Fix IRQ leak on cpuhp_setup_state error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clocksource/drivers/nxp-pit: Fix IRQ leak on cpuhp_setup_state error path
When cpuhp_setup_state fails after pit_clockevent_per_cpu_init has
successfully called request_irq, the error handling jumps directly to
out_pit_clocksource_unregister without freeing the registered IRQ.
This leaks the IRQ line and, since kfree(pit) follows, leaves a
dangling pointer registered as the interrupt handler's dev_id,
potentially leading to a use-after-free if the IRQ fires afterwards.
Fix it by calling pit_clockevent_per_cpu_exit to properly release the
IRQ before falling through to the existing cleanup chain.

fs: fix user path of nested backing files
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: fix user path of nested backing files
backing_file_open() derives the path to be stored in the new backing
file from user_file->f_path. This is incorrect when user_file itself
is a backing file, which is the case for nested stacking filesystems,
e.g. overlayfs mounts where the lowerdir of one overlayfs is the merged
directory of another. Since commit def3ae83da02 ("fs: store real path
instead of fake path in backing file f_path") the f_path of a backing
file holds the real path of the intermediate layer, not the path that
the user opened.
Commit 924577e4f6ca ("ovl: Fix nested backing file paths") fixed this
for such configurations by passing file_user_path() from
ovl_open_realfile(). However, commit 6af36aeb147a ("lsm: add
backing_file LSM hooks") changed the first argument of
backing_file_open() from the user path back to the user file and
derived the path from user_file->f_path again, silently re-introducing
the problem.
As a result, files mapped through a nested overlayfs show the wrong
path in /proc/<pid>/maps and in perf/ftrace mmap records. For example,
with two nested overlayfs mounts:
mkdir -p /ovl/{lower,upper,work,merged} /ovl/nested
echo hello > /ovl/lower/foo
mount -t overlay overlay \
-o lowerdir=/ovl/lower,upperdir=/ovl/upper,workdir=/ovl/work \
/ovl/merged
# at least two lowerdirs are needed when upperdir is nonexistent
mount -t overlay overlay \
-o lowerdir=/ovl/merged:/ovl/lower /ovl/nested
mapping /ovl/nested/foo shows a disconnected path instead of the user
path:
# readlink /proc/self/fd/3
/ovl/nested/foo
# grep foo /proc/self/maps
7f6e2c100000-7f6e2c101000 r--s 00000000 00:24 15813027 /foo
The bogus path is derived from the f_path of the intermediate backing
file, whose mount is a private clone that d_path() cannot resolve.
Fix this by using file_user_path(), which returns the outermost
user-visible path for backing files and falls back to
&user_file->f_path for regular files. This restores the behavior of
commit 924577e4f6ca ("ovl: Fix nested backing file paths") for
overlayfs and also fixes the same problem for the other
backing_file_open() callers, fuse passthrough and erofs ishare, when
their user file is itself a backing file.
backing_tmpfile_open() has the same pattern but is not affected: it is
only called by ovl_create_tmpfile() for the upper layer, and another
overlayfs is rejected as upperdir by the DCACHE_OP_REAL check in
ovl_mount_dir_check(), so its user_file can never be a backing file.

ovl: fix double end_creating() on the casefold-mismatch path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovl: fix double end_creating() on the casefold-mismatch path
ovl_create_real() releases the new dentry twice when the casefold
consistency check fails. The S_IFDIR branch calls end_creating() and
sets err, then falls through to the common out: label which calls
end_creating() on the same dentry again:
case S_IFDIR:
newdentry = ovl_do_mkdir(ofs, dir, newdentry, attr->mode);
err = PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(newdentry);
if (!err && ofs->casefold != ovl_dentry_casefolded(newdentry)) {
pr_warn_ratelimited(...);
end_creating(newdentry); /* first */
err = -EINVAL;
}
break;
...
if (err)
goto out;
...
out:
if (err) {
end_creating(newdentry); /* second, same dentry */
return ERR_PTR(err);
}
end_creating() is end_dirop(), which does inode_unlock() on the parent
and dput() on the dentry, so the parent directory's i_rwsem is unlocked
twice and the dentry is put twice. The second unlock releases a lock
that is not held, which is what wedges every later creation under that
parent, and the second dput() drops a reference that was never taken.
The branch was added by commit dfc7da402ccc ("ovl: Check for casefold
consistency when creating new dentries") as a bare dput(), which already
released the reference twice; commit fe497f0759e0 ("VFS: change
vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure.") converted both sites to
end_creating(), adding the double unlock.
This is reachable by an unprivileged user. The casefold consistency of
the layers is validated at mount time in ovl_parse_layer(), and again on
every lookup in ovl_lookup_single(), but ofs->workdir is the internal
"work" subdirectory created inside the user-supplied workdir, and that
subdirectory is not re-checked. Marking it casefolded after the mount
therefore makes every ovl_create_temp() inherit the wrong state - and
that path reaches ovl_create_real() through ovl_start_creating_temp(),
which uses start_creating() with a generated name and so never runs the
lookup-time check.
unshare -Urm
mount -t tmpfs -o casefold=utf8-12.1.0 tmpfs mnt
mkdir -p mnt/lower/d mnt/upper mnt/work mnt/merged
mount -t overlay ovl -o lowerdir=mnt/lower,\
upperdir=mnt/upper,workdir=mnt/work mnt/merged
chattr +F mnt/work/work
mkdir mnt/merged/d/sub # directory copy-up
overlayfs: wrong inherited casefold (work/#5)
and the next copy-up blocks forever on the parent's i_rwsem:
mkdir D start_creating+0x65/0xb0
ovl_start_creating_temp+0xb0/0xe0 [overlay]
ovl_create_temp+0xa3/0x1d0 [overlay]

Drop the end_creating() from the branch and let out: own the cleanup,
which is what every other error path in this function already does.

pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl
The PIDFD_GET_*_NAMESPACE ioctls in pidfd_ioctl() perform a filesystem
credentials ptrace access check before handing out a namespace file
descriptor. The accompanying comment states that the code "mirrors nsfs
behavior", but, unlike the corresponding procfs paths, it does so without
holding the target task's exec_update_lock.
proc_ns_get_link() and proc_ns_readlink() both take exec_update_lock for
reading around the ptrace check and the namespace lookup, so that the
credentials used for the access decision match those of the task when its
namespace is read. Without it, a caller can pass the check against the
target's old credentials and then read the namespace after the target has
execve()'d a setuid binary and committed new credentials -- accessing
namespace information it should have been denied.
Hold exec_update_lock for reading around the ptrace check and the
namespace lookup so that pidfd truly mirrors nsfs behavior, as the comment
already claims. open_namespace() itself runs outside the lock: once a
namespace reference is obtained it carries its own refcount and is opened
with the caller's own credentials, so a concurrent execve() on the target
can no longer affect the outcome.

timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace
On native sparc64, struct __kernel_old_timeval contains a four-byte hole
after tv_usec because tv_sec is 64-bit while __kernel_suseconds_t is 32-bit.
put_itimerval() fills only the named fields in a stack-allocated
__kernel_old_itimerval and copies the entire object to userspace, so
getitimer() can expose the two padding holes.
Zero-initialize the aggregate before assigning the fields so implicit
padding is deterministic before it crosses the user/kernel boundary.

KEYS: trusted: Fix TPM teardown ordering
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KEYS: trusted: Fix TPM teardown ordering
trusted_tpm_exit() drops the TPM chip reference and frees the digest
array before unregistering the trusted key type. key_type_lookup()
holds key_types_sem for reading until the key operation finishes, while
unregister_key_type() takes it for writing. It therefore provides the
synchronization point that must precede backend teardown.
The current order permits this interleaving:
CPU 0 CPU 1
trusted_tpm_exit() key_type_lookup("trusted")
put_device(&chip->dev) trusted_tpm_seal()
kfree(digests) pcrlock()
unregister_key_type() tpm_pcr_extend(..., digests)
CPU 1 can consequently dereference the freed digest array. The chip can
also be released before callbacks stop using it.

apparmor: fix cred UAF caused by begin_current_label_crit_section()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix cred UAF caused by begin_current_label_crit_section()
AppArmor's begin_current_label_crit_section() is a scary function called
from lots of LSM hooks (in particular VFS/socket-related ones) that checks
if the label referenced by the current creds is marked FLAG_STALE, and if
so, attempts to use aa_replace_current_label() to replace the creds with an
updated version that uses a new label.
The first problem with this is that it would directly lead to UAF of
`struct cred` if anything in the kernel takes a pointer to the current
creds and accesses these past a security hook invocation that replaces
creds, like so:
```
const struct cred *cred = current_cred();
alloc_file_pseudo(...);
uid_t uid = cred->euid;
```
I don't know if anything in the kernel actually does this, but I think it
is very surprising that this pattern could lead to UAF.
The second problem is that things go wrong when aa_replace_current_label()
runs with overridden credentials. aa_replace_current_label() bails out if
`current_cred() != current_real_cred()` (mirroring the check in
proc_pid_attr_write()), but this check can't actually reliably detect
overridden credentials because the overridden creds can be the same as the
objective creds.
So in approximately the following scenario, things go wrong:
1. task begins with <creds A> (as both objective and subjective creds),
with refcount=2
2. task grabs an extra reference on <creds A> for overriding
3. task calls override_creds(<creds A>), which returns a pointer to the old
subjective creds (<creds A>)
4. task enters AppArmor LSM hook
5. AppArmor checks that objective/subjective creds are equal
6. AppArmor replaces both cred pointers with <creds B> and drops 2 refs on
<creds A>
7. task leaves AppArmor LSM hook
8. task calls revert_creds(<creds A>)
9. now task->cred is <creds A> while task->real_cred is <creds B>, but the
task_struct logically holds two references to <creds B>
10. another task drops the extra reference on <creds A> that was used for
overriding, refcount drops to 0
11. now task->real_cred points to freed creds
At this point, any access to current_cred() will be UAF.
I have a test case where I run aa-disable on a profile while a process
using that profile is blocked on splice() from a FUSE passthrough file into
a full pipe; after the profile update, the pipe becomes empty, splice()
resumes, the credentials go out of sync, and a subsequent getuid() syscall
results in a KASAN UAF splat.
To fix this, instead of directly replacing creds, do it via task_work that
will run at the end of the current syscall. (The point in time at which the
cred replacement happens should have no correctness impact; it is just a
performance optimization to avoid unnecessarily touching the refcount of
the new label.)
Note that AppArmor still performs direct cred replacements in the
sb_pivotroot LSM hook after this change, and that direct cred replacements
can still happen in VFS ->write() callbacks via proc_pid_attr_write().
There are two options for what to do with aa_dup_task_ctx(): Either
explicitly reset new->label_replacement_pending after the entire
aa_task_ctx has been copied, or switch to manually copying members over.
I am switching to manually copying members over because that should make
bugs more obvious.

apparmor: fix out-of-bounds write when null terminating a label vec
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix out-of-bounds write when null terminating a label vec
aa_vec_unique() null terminates at vec[n - dups] when VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE
is passed. If the components are all distinct no duplicates are dropped,
dups is 0 and the terminator goes to vec[n], so the caller has to provide
room for n + 1 entries.
aa_label_strn_parse() sets up its vector with vec_setup(profile, vec, len,
gfp) and then calls aa_vec_unique(vec, len, VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE), but
vec_setup() does not reserve the terminator entry. Up to LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES
it uses the local array of LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES pointers, above that it
allocates exactly len pointers. The terminator therefore lands one entry
past the end of the local array when len is LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES, and one
entry past the end of the allocation when len is larger.
len comes from the number of "//&" separated components in the label name
and label_count_strn_entries() does not bound it. An unprivileged task
reaches the parse by writing to /proc/self/attr/apparmor/current or through
lsm_set_self_attr(2), both of which go through do_setattr(), and the name
is parsed before the change_profile permission is checked.
The query_label() path behind the securityfs .access file, which is
mode 0666, performs no permission check at all. Every component has to
resolve to a loaded profile, so a system with policy loaded is required.
The other two VEC_FLAG_TERMINATE users work on a label vec that
aa_label_alloc() has already sized with "+ 1 for null terminator entry on
vec". Reserve the same entry in vec_setup() and DEFINE_VEC(). Passing
len + 1 from the caller instead would move len == LOCAL_VEC_ENTRIES out of
the local array and into kzalloc().

mm, swap: don't free a hibernation slot that is in the swap cache
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm, swap: don't free a hibernation slot that is in the swap cache
A slot with a folio in the swap cache is freed when the folio leaves the
cache, not when its count drops. swap_put_entries_cluster() follows that
rule. swap_free_hibernation_slot() does not, it calls
__swap_cluster_free_entries() whether or not a folio sits on the slot.
Cluster readahead can put one there. It walks a raw page_cluster sized
window of offsets around the faulting entry, and a hibernation slot passes
__swap_cache_add_check() because it is not a folio and its count is not
zero. Freeing the slot then clears the entry under that folio.
The folio is now unreachable from the swap table, and the offset goes back
to the allocator. The folio is still on the LRU though, so reclaim can
pick it up later. It then takes the old offset out of folio->swap and
overwrites the table entry there, which by then may belong to someone
else.
This bug can trigger silent memory corruption, process crashes, or data
instability across completely unrelated userspace applications - typically
occurring when uswsusp is preparing the hibernation image.
I found this while working on giving hibernation slots their own marker in
the swap table, which I had discussed with Kairui.
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/abp7aDgYLrxF3Me8@KASONG-MC4/) As far as
I know there are no reports, so there is no Reported-by/Closes to add.
Check for a cached folio before freeing. The slot is then left in the
ordinary state where only the swap cache holds it, and it is freed when
the folio leaves the cache, either through the reclaim below or through
normal reclaim later.

rust: devres: fix race between concurrent revokers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rust: devres: fix race between concurrent revokers
There is a potential race condition when two paths try to revoke a
Devres concurrently.
The driver core's devres_release_all() calls Revocable::revoke() via the
release callback, while Devres::drop() calls revoke_nosync() on another
CPU.
The revoker that does not claim the is_available swap returns
immediately, but the revoker that did may still be executing
drop_in_place() on the inner data. This can cause a use-after-free when
the other revoker's caller proceeds to drop adjacent resources that
drop_in_place() still references (e.g., Devres<DmaMappedSgt> racing with
SGTable freeing the backing sg_table and pages).
Fix this by adding a Completion. The release callback signals the
Completion after revoke() finishes, and Devres::drop() waits for it when
it loses the is_available swap. This ensures the wrapped object is fully
torn down before Devres::drop() returns.

mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task stacks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task stacks
Patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task", v3.
kmemleak_scan() scans every task stack under one rcu_read_lock() with no
reschedule point, which can trip the soft lockup watchdog on hosts with
very many threads.
That prints the following message, depending on the workload+host
configuration:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537]
scan_block
kmemleak_scan
kmemleak_scan_thread
kthread
Patch 1 walks the tasks with find_ge_pid() so the scan reschedules between
tasks
Patches 2-3 let the scan loops stop early once a scan is interrupted.
This patch (of 3):
kmemleak_scan() walks every thread and scans its kernel stack under a
single rcu_read_lock() with no reschedule point. On a host with very many
threads -- amplified by KASAN/lockdep in debug builds -- this loop can hog
a CPU long enough to trip the soft lockup watchdog:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537]
scan_block
kmemleak_scan
kmemleak_scan_thread
kthread
A cond_resched() cannot be added directly: the loop runs inside an RCU
read-side critical section.
Walk the tasks one PID at a time with find_ge_pid(), taking the RCU read
lock only to look up and pin each task. The stack is then scanned with no
lock held, so cond_resched() runs between tasks and the scan stops early
on scan_should_stop(). This follows the next_tgid()/task_seq_get_next()
iteration pattern and keeps each RCU critical section short.
