commit 403b0a6970b1084bb27907c0f8225801fdd0fe1d upstream.

The debug logging in ims_pcu_irq() unconditionally prints data from
pcu->urb_in_buf. However, if the interrupt fired for pcu->urb_ctrl, the
actual data resides in pcu->urb_ctrl_buf. If urb->actual_length for the
control URB exceeds pcu->max_in_size, this leads to an out-of-bounds
read.

Fix this by printing from the correct buffer associated with the URB.

…parsing

commit d4579af29e67ca8722db0a1194227f8015c8981d upstream.

The driver parses CDC union descriptors in ims_pcu_get_cdc_union_desc()
by iterating through the extra descriptor data. However, it does not
verify that the bLength of each descriptor is at least 2. A malicious
device could provide a descriptor with bLength = 0, leading to an
infinite loop in the driver.

Add a check to ensure bLength is at least 2 before proceeding with
parsing.

commit 411b8c4b274737c3bf08e1e025801161603cfffc upstream.

The ims_pcu_reset_device() sysfs callback calls ims_pcu_execute_command()
without acquiring pcu->cmd_mutex. This can lead to data races and
corruption of the shared command buffer if triggered concurrently with
other commands.

Acquire pcu->cmd_mutex before calling ims_pcu_execute_command().

commit ca459e237bc49567649c56bc72e4c602fb92fd67 upstream.

The driver currently trusts the bMasterInterface0 from the CDC union
descriptor without verifying that it matches the interface being
probed. This could lead to the driver overwriting the private data of
another interface.

Validate that the control interface found in the descriptor is indeed
the one we are probing.

commit de74d8fd10291763d97b218f09adcc7513c975e4 upstream.

When an offloaded MACsec RX SC is deleted, macsec_del_rxsc_ctx() freed
the per-SC metadata_dst with metadata_dst_free(), which kfree()s the
object unconditionally and ignores the dst reference count. The RX
datapath in mlx5e_macsec_offload_handle_rx_skb() looks up the SC under
rcu_read_lock() via xa_load(), takes a reference with dst_hold() and
attaches the dst to the skb with skb_dst_set(). A reader that already
obtained the rx_sc pointer can race with the delete path and operate on
freed memory.

Fix the owner side by dropping the reference with dst_release() instead
of freeing unconditionally, and convert the RX datapath to
dst_hold_safe() so a reader racing the SC delete cannot attach a dst
whose last reference was just dropped; only attach it when a reference
was actually taken.

mlx5e_macsec_add_rxsc() also published sc_xarray_element via xa_alloc()
before rx_sc->md_dst was allocated and initialised, so a datapath reader
that looked the SC up by fs_id could observe rx_sc with md_dst still
NULL or, on weakly-ordered architectures, a non-NULL md_dst pointer
whose contents were not yet visible. NULL-check the xa_load() result and
md_dst on the datapath, and reorder add_rxsc() so the xa_alloc() publish
happens only after md_dst is fully initialised; the xarray RCU publish
then pairs with the rcu_read_lock()/xa_load() in the datapath.

Note: macsec_del_rxsc_ctx() also kfree()s rx_sc->sc_xarray_element
without an RCU grace period while the same datapath reads it under
rcu_read_lock(); that is a separate pre-existing issue left to a
follow-up patch.

commit 50fd6dd755c6e48a38af2fa4621167eea56829c2 upstream.

user_event_mm_dup() walks the parent mm's enabler list locklessly under
rcu_read_lock() during fork() (from copy_process()); it does not take
event_mutex:

	rcu_read_lock();
	list_for_each_entry_rcu(enabler, &old_mm->enablers, mm_enablers_link)
		enabler->event = user_event_get(orig->event);

user_event_enabler_destroy() removes an enabler from that list with
list_del_rcu() and then, without waiting for a grace period, drops the
enabler's user_event reference with user_event_put() and frees the enabler
with kfree(). A reader that loaded the enabler before the list_del_rcu()
can still be walking it, which leads to two use-after-frees:

 - kfree(enabler) frees the enabler while that reader dereferences
   enabler->event.

 - user_event_put() may drop the last reference to the user_event, which
   is then freed (via delayed_destroy_user_event() on a work queue), while
   the same reader does user_event_get(orig->event) on it.

Both are reachable by an unprivileged task that can open user_events_data:
one multithreaded process that registers an enabler and then concurrently
unregisters it and calls fork() triggers the race. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() during clone(), with a
"refcount_t: addition on 0" warning when the user_event is freed.

The enabler use-after-free was found first; the user_event one was reported
by XIAO WU, and the earlier enabler-only fix did not address it.

Defer both the user_event_put() and the kfree(enabler) to a work item
queued with queue_rcu_work(), so they run only after an RCU grace period,
once all readers walking the enabler list have finished. The put must run
in process context because user_event_put() takes event_mutex on the last
reference, so a work queue is used rather than call_rcu(). The now-unlocked
put lets the locked argument of user_event_enabler_destroy() be removed;
all callers are updated.

commit 26aff38fefb1d6cd87e22525f41cc8f1aa61b24f upstream.

update_rlimit_cpu() converts the RLIMIT_CPU value to nanoseconds with

        u64 nsecs = rlim_new * NSEC_PER_SEC;

On 32-bit kernels both rlim_new (unsigned long) and NSEC_PER_SEC
(1000000000L) are 32-bit, so the multiplication is performed in unsigned
long and truncated for rlim_new > 4 seconds before being widened to u64.

The same file already casts to u64 for the matching computation in
check_process_timers():

        u64 softns = (u64)soft * NSEC_PER_SEC;

As a result, the truncated value is installed into the CPUCLOCK_PROF
expiry cache (nextevt), causing the process CPU timer to be programmed
to fire prematurely for any RLIMIT_CPU soft limit >= 5 seconds. The
actual SIGXCPU/SIGKILL decision in check_process_timers() already casts
to u64 and is therefore correct, so limit enforcement is not broken;
only the expiry-cache programming is wrong. Apply the same cast here so
both paths convert rlim_cur identically.

64-bit kernels are unaffected.

commit d3e91a95b2b0fc6336dbf3ec90d831a1654d2720 upstream.

tegra_gpio_direction_input() and tegra_gpio_direction_output() already
program the GPIO controller direction registers directly. The additional
pinctrl_gpio_direction_input/output() calls do not add a Tegra pinctrl
operation, because the Tegra pinmux ops provide GPIO request/free
handling but no gpio_set_direction hook.

The extra call still enters the pinctrl core and takes pctldev->mutex.
Shared GPIO users can call the direction path while holding their
per-line spinlock, so this otherwise redundant pinctrl direction call can
sleep in an atomic context.

This was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by manual
review of tegra_gpio_probe(), the Tegra GPIO direction callbacks and the
Tegra pinctrl ops. The reviewed path has a default non-sleeping
struct gpio_chip while the direction callback still enters the pinctrl
mutex path.

A directed runtime validation kept the same non-sleeping chip registration
and drove:

  gpio_shared_proxy_direction_output()
  gpiod_direction_output_raw_commit()
  tegra_gpio_direction_output()
  pinctrl_gpio_direction_output()

Lockdep reported a sleep-in-atomic warning with the shared GPIO spinlock
held and pinctrl_get_device_gpio_range() plus tegra_gpio_direction_output()
on the stack.

Do not mark the whole chip as can_sleep to paper over this: can_sleep
describes whether get()/set() may sleep, and Tegra value access is MMIO.
Remove the redundant pinctrl direction calls and keep pinctrl involvement
in the existing request/free path.

commit db818b0e8af7bac16860116a19c341a63d6677b4 upstream.

ixp4xx_hss_probe() allocates two HDLC netdevs. The first one is stored
in ndev, initialized, and registered with register_hdlc_device(). The
second one is stored in port->netdev and later used by the remove path
for unregister_hdlc_device() and free_netdev().

This means that the registered netdev is not the same object that is
unregistered and freed on remove. It also leaks the first allocation if
the second alloc_hdlcdev() call fails, and the first allocation is not
checked before ndev is used.

Older code allocated the HDLC netdev only once and stored the same object
in both the local variable and port->netdev. The buggy conversion split
this into two alloc_hdlcdev() calls. A later rename changed the local
variable name to ndev, but the underlying mismatch remained.

Fix this by allocating the HDLC netdev only once and assigning the same
object to port->netdev.

create_queues_with_size_backoff() creates XDP TX queues before setting

Fix this by explicitly destroying the XDP TX queue subset at the two
missing failure points.

The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1-rc7.

An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have
an ENA device to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in or
moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.

Gate vti_changelink() on rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() at its top,
before any attribute is parsed.

commit 9c1e0b6d49471a712511d23fc9d06901561135e8 upstream.

In net/ieee802154/netlink.c, the legacy IEEE802154_NL family ops table
builds the LLSEC dump entries (LLSEC_LIST_KEY, LLSEC_LIST_DEV,
LLSEC_LIST_DEVKEY, LLSEC_LIST_SECLEVEL) with IEEE802154_DUMP() which
sets no .flags, so generic netlink runs them ungated. The modern
nl802154 family admin-gates the equivalent reads via
NL802154_CMD_GET_SEC_KEY and friends with .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM.

Any local uid that can open AF_NETLINK / NETLINK_GENERIC can resolve
the "802.15.4 MAC" family and dump LLSEC_LIST_KEY on any wpan netdev
that has an LLSEC key installed; the dump handler writes the raw
16-byte AES-128 key bytes (IEEE802154_ATTR_LLSEC_KEY_BYTES, copied
verbatim from struct ieee802154_llsec_key.key) into the reply.
Recovering the AES key compromises 802.15.4 LLSEC link confidentiality
and authenticity, since LLSEC uses CCM* and the same key authenticates
and encrypts frames.

Impact: any local uid with no capabilities can read the raw 16-byte
AES-128 LLSEC key from the kernel keytable on any wpan netdev that has
an administrator-installed LLSEC key, by issuing an LLSEC_LIST_KEY
dump on the legacy IEEE802154_NL generic-netlink family.

Introduce IEEE802154_DUMP_PRIV() mirroring IEEE802154_DUMP() but
setting .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM, and use it for the four LLSEC dump
entries. LIST_PHY and LIST_IFACE retain IEEE802154_DUMP() because the
modern nl802154 family exposes their equivalents to unprivileged
readers by design (NL802154_CMD_GET_WPAN_PHY and
NL802154_CMD_GET_INTERFACE carry "can be retrieved by unprivileged
users" annotations).

commit a6bfdfcc6711d1d5a92e98644359dedc67c0c858 upstream.

The LLSEC ADD/DEL doit handlers under the legacy IEEE802154_NL family
consume IEEE802154_ATTR_LLSEC_KEY_BYTES and
IEEE802154_ATTR_LLSEC_KEY_USAGE_COMMANDS, both declared in
net/ieee802154/nl_policy.c as bare length entries with no .type
(defaulting to NLA_UNSPEC). Generic netlink strict validation rejects
all NLA_UNSPEC attributes via validate_nla(), so every LLSEC_ADD_KEY,
LLSEC_DEL_KEY, LLSEC_ADD_DEV, LLSEC_DEL_DEV, LLSEC_ADD_DEVKEY,
LLSEC_DEL_DEVKEY, LLSEC_ADD_SECLEVEL, and LLSEC_DEL_SECLEVEL request
fails at the dispatcher with "Unsupported attribute" before reaching
the handler.

The doit path has been silently dead since strict validation became
the default for genl families that do not opt out. The dump path is
unaffected because dump requests carry no LLSEC attributes to
validate, which is why the LLSEC_LIST_KEY read remained reachable
(patch 1/2). Introduce IEEE802154_OP_RELAXED() mirroring
IEEE802154_OP() but with .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT, and
use it for the eight legacy LLSEC mutate ops so admin-driven LLSEC
configuration via the legacy interface works again.

commit e09390e439bd7cca30dd10893b1f64802961667a upstream.

ca8210_spi_transfer() allocates cas_ctl with kzalloc_obj(GFP_ATOMIC)
and relies entirely on the SPI completion callback
ca8210_spi_transfer_complete() to free it.

The spi_async() API only invokes the completion callback on successful
submission.  On failure it returns a negative error code without ever
queuing the callback, which leaves cas_ctl and its embedded spi_message
and spi_transfer orphaned.  Every kfree(cas_ctl) in the driver is
inside the completion callback, so there is no other reclamation path.

ca8210_spi_transfer() is called from ca8210_spi_exchange(), the
interrupt handler ca8210_interrupt_handler(), and from the retry path
inside the completion callback itself.  The exchange and interrupt
handler paths loop on -EBUSY, so under sustained SPI bus contention
every retry iteration leaks a fresh cas_ctl (~600 bytes per
occurrence).

Fix it by freeing cas_ctl on the spi_async() error path.  While here,
correct the misleading error string: the function calls spi_async(),
not spi_sync().

commit 6d7f7bcf225b2d566176bf6229dbd1252940cb3c upstream.

ca8210_test_int_driver_write() and ca8210_test_int_user_read() exchange
a kmalloc'd buffer pointer through a struct kfifo, but pass a literal
'4' as the byte count to kfifo_in()/kfifo_out().

This is correct on 32-bit (pointer = 4 bytes), but on 64-bit only the
low 4 bytes of the 8-byte pointer are written into the FIFO. The reader
then reads back 4 bytes into an 8-byte local pointer variable, leaving
the upper 4 bytes uninitialized stack data. The first dereference of
the reconstructed pointer (fifo_buffer[1]) accesses an arbitrary kernel
address and generally results in an oops.

Use sizeof(fifo_buffer) so the byte count matches pointer width on every
architecture.

The driver has no architecture restriction in Kconfig, so any 64-bit
build with CONFIG_IEEE802154_CA8210_DEBUGFS=y is exposed. Issue has
been latent since the driver was added in 2017 because it is most
commonly deployed on 32-bit MCUs.

Found via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for short-byte
kfifo I/O on byte-mode kfifos used to shuttle pointers.

("net/sched: sch_teql: Introduce slaves_lock to avoid race condition and UAF")

Use plain rcu_read_lock()/spin_lock() in teql_master_xmit() instead of the
_bh variants, since ndo_start_xmit is already invoked with BH disabled
by the core stack and the _bh primitives can warn in_hardirq() when xmit
is reached through netpoll or a softirq xmit path with hard IRQs disabled.

Moves rcu_read_lock() after restart: label + adds rcu_read_unlock() before
goto restart (fixes the unbounded RCU hold across retries)

Commit 551120148b67 ("crypto: ccp - Fix a case where SNP_SHUTDOWN is
missed") fixed a case where SNP is left in INIT state if page reclaim
fails. It removes the transition to the INIT state for this command and
adjusts the page state management.

While doing this, it added a call to snp_leak_pages() after a call to
snp_reclaim_pages() failed. Since snp_reclaim_pages() already calls
snp_leak_pages() internally on the pages it fails to reclaim, calling
it again leaks the exact same page twice.

Fix by removing the extra call to snp_leak_pages().

The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on
gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

Instead of restoring the original behavior this remove the logic of
keeping the interface after the last channel is removed because it
never worked as intended and the l2cap_chan_del always detach its
l2cap_conn which results in always removing the channel anyway.

commit 6e1930ece855a4c256f1c7e6632d634cfb9888b5 upstream.

Commit 6c3ea155e5ee ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix not tracking outstanding
TX ident") changed ident allocation to use an IDA, releasing idents in
l2cap_put_ident() when the matching response command is received.

But identifiers allocated for commands that have no response defined
are never released. In particular L2CAP_LE_CREDITS is sent repeatedly for
the lifetime of an LE CoC channel, so a peer streaming data to the
host exhausts the 1-255 ident range after 254 credit packets. From
then on l2cap_get_ident() fails:

    kernel: Bluetooth: Unable to allocate ident: -28

and every subsequent L2CAP_LE_CREDITS packet is sent with ident 0,
which is invalid (Core Spec, Vol 3, Part A, Section 4: "Signaling
identifier 0x00 is an invalid identifier and shall never be used in
any command"). Remote stacks that validate the ident drop these
commands, never receive new credits, and the channel stalls
permanently. With default socket buffers this happens after roughly 0.5 MB
of received data (the exact amount depends on the socket receive buffer):

  < ACL Data TX: Handle 2048 flags 0x00 dlen 12
        LE L2CAP: LE Flow Control Credit (0x16) ident 0 len 4
          Source CID: 64
          Credits: 1

Release the ident immediately after sending L2CAP_LE_CREDITS since no
response will ever release it. Use a local variable instead of
chan->ident so that an ident that an EXT_FLOWCTL channel may be waiting on
(e.g. a pending reconfigure) is not overwritten by a credit packet.

Also add the missing L2CAP_LE_CONN_RSP case to l2cap_put_ident() so
idents allocated for outgoing L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ commands are released
when the response arrives.

commit d2e914a4a0d0f753dbae830264850d044026167c upstream.

When a dpll_pin is shared across multiple dpll_device instances and
those devices are being unregistered (e.g. during driver module removal),
a NULL pointer dereference can occur in dpll_msg_add_pin_ref_sync().

This happens under the following conditions:
 - A pin is registered with two or more dpll devices (dpll_A, dpll_B)
 - The pin has ref_sync pairs with other pins
 - During unregistration of dpll_A's pins, a ref_sync partner pin is
   unregistered first, removing it from dpll_A->pin_refs
 - But since the partner pin is still registered with dpll_B, its
   dpll_refs is not empty, so dpll_pin_ref_sync_pair_del() does NOT
   run and the partner stays in the pin's ref_sync_pins xarray
 - When the pin itself is then unregistered from dpll_A, the delete
   notification calls dpll_msg_add_pin_ref_sync() which finds the
   partner in ref_sync_pins, passes dpll_pin_available() (partner is
   still registered with dpll_B), but dpll_pin_on_dpll_priv(dpll_A,
   partner) returns NULL because partner was already removed from
   dpll_A->pin_refs
 - The NULL priv pointer is passed to the driver's ref_sync_get
   callback, which dereferences it

  * guarantees NULL-termination
  * returns the number of characters copied or -E2BIG

The backport of upstream commit c143957520c6 ("ext4: validate donor
file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT") uses a bare 'return -EXDEV'
which is safe upstream because the fd is managed via CLASS(fd) with
automatic cleanup (commit 8152f82 ("fdget(), more trivial
conversions")).

However, on 6.12.y the ioctl still uses the traditional fdget/fdput
pattern, so the bare return bypasses fdput(donor) at the mext_out label,
leaking the file reference.

Fix by setting err and using goto mext_out.

[ Upstream commit cd3f846 ]

mm_access() can return NULL if the mm is not found, but this is handled
the same as an error in all callers, with some translating this into an
-ESRCH error.

Only proc_mem_open() returns NULL if no mm is found, however in this case
it is clearer and makes more sense to explicitly handle the error.
Additionally we take the opportunity to refactor the function to eliminate
unnecessary nesting.

Simplify things by simply returning -ESRCH if no mm is found - this both
eliminates confusing use of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() macro, and simplifies
callers which would return -ESRCH by returning this error directly.

commit 920f893f735e92ba3a1cd9256899a186b161928d upstream.

Wongi and Jungwoo decoded and reported a non-leader exec() related race
which can result in an UAF:

 sys_timer_delete()			exec()
   posix_cpu_timer_del()
   // Observes old leader
   p = pid_task(pid, pid_type);		de_thread()
   					  switch_leader();
					  release_task(old_leader)
					    __exit_signal(old_leader)
					      sighand = lock(old_leader, sighand);
					      posix_cpu_timers*_exit();
   sighand = lock_task_sighand(p)	      unhash_task(old_leader);
     sh = lock(p, sighand)	    	      old_leader->sighand = NULL;
					      unlock(sighand);
     (p->sighand == NULL)
	unlock(sh)
	return NULL;

   // Returns without action
   if(!sighand)
      return 0;
   free_posix_timer();

This is "harmless" unless the deleted timer was armed and enqueued in
p->signal because on exec() a TGID targeted timer is inherited.

As sys_timer_delete() freed the underlying posix timer object
run_posix_cpu_timers() or any timerqueue related add/delete operations on
other timers will access the freed object's timerqueue node, which results
in an UAF.

There is a similar problem vs. posix_cpu_timer_set(). For regular posix
timers it just transiently returns -ESRCH to user space, but for the use
case in do_cpu_nanosleep() it's the same UAF just that the k_itimer is
allocated on the stack.

Also posix_cpu_timer_rearm() fails to rearm the timer, which means it stops
to expire.

While debating solutions Frederic pointed out another problem:

   posix_cpu_timer_del(tmr)
					__exit_signal(p)
					  posix_cpu_timers*_exit(p);
					  unhash_task(p);
					  p->sighand = NULL;
     sh = lock_task_sighand(p)
        sighand = p->sighand;
	if (!sighand)
	    return NULL;
	lock(sighand);

     if (!sh)
	WARN_ON_ONCE(timer_queued(tmr));

On weakly ordered architectures it is not guaranteed that
posix_cpu_timer_del() will observe the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit()
when p->sighand is observed as NULL, which means the WARN() can be a false
positive.

Solve these issues by:

  1) Changing the store in __exit_signal() to smp_store_release().

  2) Adding a smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() into the !sighand path
     of lock_task_sighand().

  3) Creating a helper function for looking up the task and locking sighand
     which does not return when sighand == NULL. Instead it retries the
     task lookup and only if that fails it gives up.

  4) Using that helper in the three affected functions.

ni#1/ni#2 ensures that the reader side which observes sighand == NULL also
observes all preceeding stores, i.e. the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit()
and the ones in unhash_task().

ni#3 ensures that the above described non-leader exec() situation is handled
gracefully. When the task lookup returns the old leader, but sighand ==
NULL then it retries. In the non-leader exec() case the subsequent task
lookup will observe the new leader due to ni#1/ni#2. In normal exit() scenarios
the subsequent lookup fails.

When the task lookup fails, the function also checks whether the timer is
still enqueued and issues a warning if that's the case. Unfortunately there
is nothing which can be done about it, but as the task is already not
longer visible the timer should not be accessed anymore. This check also
requires memory ordering, which is not provided when the first lookup
fails. To achieve that the check is preceeded by a smp_rmb() which pairs
with the smp_wmb() in write_seqlock() in __exit_signal(). That ensures that
the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit() are visible.

The history of the non-leader exec() issue goes back to the early days of
posix CPU timers, which stored a pointer to the group leader task in the
timer. That obviously fails when a non-leader exec() switches the leader.
commit e0a7021 ("posix-cpu-timers: workaround to suppress the problems
with mt exec") added a temporary workaround for that in 2010 which survived
about 10 years. The fix for the workaround changed the task pointer to a
pid pointer, but failed to see the subtle race described above. So the
Fixes tag picks that commit, which seems to be halfways accurate.

Thanks to Frederic Weissbecker, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra for
review, feedback and suggestions and to Wongi and Jungwoo for the excellent
bug report and analysis!
