| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsnotify: clear PARENT_WATCHED flags lazily
In some setups directories can have many (usually negative) dentries.
Hence __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() function can take a
significant amount of time. Since the bulk of this function happens
under inode->i_lock this causes a significant contention on the lock
when we remove the watch from the directory as the
__fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() call from fsnotify_recalc_mask()
races with __fsnotify_update_child_dentry_flags() calls from
__fsnotify_parent() happening on children. This can lead upto softlockup
reports reported by users.
Fix the problem by calling fsnotify_update_children_dentry_flags() to
set PARENT_WATCHED flags only when parent starts watching children.
When parent stops watching children, clear false positive PARENT_WATCHED
flags lazily in __fsnotify_parent() for each accessed child. |

userfaultfd: don't BUG_ON() if khugepaged yanks our page table
Since khugepaged was changed to allow retracting page tables in file
mappings without holding the mmap lock, these BUG_ON()s are wrong - get
rid of them.
We could also remove the preceding "if (unlikely(...))" block, but then we
could reach pte_offset_map_lock() with transhuge pages not just for file
mappings but also for anonymous mappings - which would probably be fine
but I think is not necessarily expected. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
userfaultfd: fix checks for huge PMDs
Patch series "userfaultfd: fix races around pmd_trans_huge() check", v2.
The pmd_trans_huge() code in mfill_atomic() is wrong in three different
ways depending on kernel version:
1. The pmd_trans_huge() check is racy and can lead to a BUG_ON() (if you hit
the right two race windows) - I've tested this in a kernel build with
some extra mdelay() calls. See the commit message for a description
of the race scenario.
On older kernels (before 6.5), I think the same bug can even
theoretically lead to accessing transhuge page contents as a page table
if you hit the right 5 narrow race windows (I haven't tested this case).
2. As pointed out by Qi Zheng, pmd_trans_huge() is not sufficient for
detecting PMDs that don't point to page tables.
On older kernels (before 6.5), you'd just have to win a single fairly
wide race to hit this.
I've tested this on 6.1 stable by racing migration (with a mdelay()
patched into try_to_migrate()) against UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE - on my x86
VM, that causes a kernel oops in ptlock_ptr().
3. On newer kernels (>=6.5), for shmem mappings, khugepaged is allowed
to yank page tables out from under us (though I haven't tested that),
so I think the BUG_ON() checks in mfill_atomic() are just wrong.
I decided to write two separate fixes for these (one fix for bugs 1+2, one
fix for bug 3), so that the first fix can be backported to kernels
affected by bugs 1+2.
This patch (of 2):
This fixes two issues.
I discovered that the following race can occur:
mfill_atomic other thread
============ ============
<zap PMD>
pmdp_get_lockless() [reads none pmd]
<bail if trans_huge>
<if none:>
<pagefault creates transhuge zeropage>
__pte_alloc [no-op]
<zap PMD>
<bail if pmd_trans_huge(*dst_pmd)>
BUG_ON(pmd_none(*dst_pmd))
I have experimentally verified this in a kernel with extra mdelay() calls;
the BUG_ON(pmd_none(*dst_pmd)) triggers.
On kernels newer than commit 0d940a9b270b ("mm/pgtable: allow
pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail"), this can't lead to anything worse than
a BUG_ON(), since the page table access helpers are actually designed to
deal with page tables concurrently disappearing; but on older kernels
(<=6.4), I think we could probably theoretically race past the two
BUG_ON() checks and end up treating a hugepage as a page table.
The second issue is that, as Qi Zheng pointed out, there are other types
of huge PMDs that pmd_trans_huge() can't catch: devmap PMDs and swap PMDs
(in particular, migration PMDs).
On <=6.4, this is worse than the first issue: If mfill_atomic() runs on a
PMD that contains a migration entry (which just requires winning a single,
fairly wide race), it will pass the PMD to pte_offset_map_lock(), which
assumes that the PMD points to a page table.
Breakage follows: First, the kernel tries to take the PTE lock (which will
crash or maybe worse if there is no "struct page" for the address bits in
the migration entry PMD - I think at least on X86 there usually is no
corresponding "struct page" thanks to the PTE inversion mitigation, amd64
looks different).
If that didn't crash, the kernel would next try to write a PTE into what
it wrongly thinks is a page table.
As part of fixing these issues, get rid of the check for pmd_trans_huge()
before __pte_alloc() - that's redundant, we're going to have to check for
that after the __pte_alloc() anyway.
Backport note: pmdp_get_lockless() is pmd_read_atomic() in older kernels. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: protect references to superblock parameters exposed in sysfs
The superblock buffers of nilfs2 can not only be overwritten at runtime
for modifications/repairs, but they are also regularly swapped, replaced
during resizing, and even abandoned when degrading to one side due to
backing device issues. So, accessing them requires mutual exclusion using
the reader/writer semaphore "nilfs->ns_sem".
Some sysfs attribute show methods read this superblock buffer without the
necessary mutual exclusion, which can cause problems with pointer
dereferencing and memory access, so fix it. |

ice: protect XDP configuration with a mutex
The main threat to data consistency in ice_xdp() is a possible asynchronous
PF reset. It can be triggered by a user or by TX timeout handler.
XDP setup and PF reset code access the same resources in the following
sections:
* ice_vsi_close() in ice_prepare_for_reset() - already rtnl-locked
* ice_vsi_rebuild() for the PF VSI - not protected
* ice_vsi_open() - already rtnl-locked
With an unfortunate timing, such accesses can result in a crash such as the

The previous way of handling this through returning -EBUSY is not viable,
particularly when destroying AF_XDP socket, because the kernel proceeds
with removal anyway.
There is plenty of code between those calls and there is no need to create
a large critical section that covers all of them, same as there is no need
to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() with rtnl_lock().
Add xdp_state_lock mutex to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() and ice_xdp().
Leaving unprotected sections in between would result in two states that
have to be considered:
1. when the VSI is closed, but not yet rebuild
2. when VSI is already rebuild, but not yet open
The latter case is actually already handled through !netif_running() case,
we just need to adjust flag checking a little. The former one is not as
trivial, because between ice_vsi_close() and ice_vsi_rebuild(), a lot of
hardware interaction happens, this can make adding/deleting rings exit
with an error. Luckily, VSI rebuild is pending and can apply new
configuration for us in a managed fashion.
Therefore, add an additional VSI state flag ICE_VSI_REBUILD_PENDING to
indicate that ice_x

drm/vmwgfx: Prevent unmapping active read buffers
The kms paths keep a persistent map active to read and compare the cursor
buffer. These maps can race with each other in simple scenario where:
a) buffer "a" mapped for update
b) buffer "a" mapped for compare
c) do the compare
d) unmap "a" for compare
e) update the cursor
f) unmap "a" for update
At step "e" the buffer has been unmapped and the read contents is bogus.
Prevent unmapping of active read buffers by simply keeping a count of
how many paths have currently active maps and unmap only when the count
reaches 0. |

workqueue: Fix spruious data race in __flush_work()
When flushing a work item for cancellation, __flush_work() knows that it
exclusively owns the work item through its PENDING bit. 134874e2eee9
("workqueue: Allow cancel_work_sync() and disable_work() from atomic
contexts on BH work items") added a read of @work->data to determine whether
to use busy wait for BH work items that are being canceled. While the read
is safe when @from_cancel, @work->data was read before testing @from_cancel
to simplify code structure:
data = *work_data_bits(work);
if (from_cancel &&
!WARN_ON_ONCE(data & WORK_STRUCT_PWQ) && (data & WORK_OFFQ_BH)) {
While the read data was never used if !@from_cancel, this could trigger
KCSAN data race detection spuriously:

soc: qcom: pmic_glink: Fix race during initialization
As pointed out by Stephen Boyd it is possible that during initialization
of the pmic_glink child drivers, the protection-domain notifiers fires,
and the associated work is scheduled, before the client registration
returns and as a result the local "client" pointer has been initialized.
The outcome of this is a NULL pointer dereference as the "client"
pointer is blindly dereferenced.
Timeline provided by Stephen:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
ucsi->client = NULL;
devm_pmic_glink_register_client()
client->pdr_notify(client->priv, pg->client_state)
pmic_glink_ucsi_pdr_notify()
schedule_work(&ucsi->register_work)
<schedule away>
pmic_glink_ucsi_register()
ucsi_register()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read_version()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read()
pmic_glink_ucsi_read()
pmic_glink_send(ucsi->client)
<client is NULL BAD>
ucsi->client = client // Too late!
This code is identical across the altmode, battery manager and usci
child drivers.
Resolve this by splitting the allocation of the "client" object and the
registration thereof into two operations.
This only happens if the protection domain registry is populated at the
time of registration, which by the introduction of commit '1ebcde047c54
("soc: qcom: add pd-mapper implementation")' became much more likely. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: qcom: scm: Mark get_wq_ctx() as atomic call
Currently get_wq_ctx() is wrongly configured as a standard call. When two
SMC calls are in sleep and one SMC wakes up, it calls get_wq_ctx() to
resume the corresponding sleeping thread. But if get_wq_ctx() is
interrupted, goes to sleep and another SMC call is waiting to be allocated
a waitq context, it leads to a deadlock.
To avoid this get_wq_ctx() must be an atomic call and can't be a standard
SMC call. Hence mark get_wq_ctx() as a fast call. |

Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Fix random crash seen while removing driver
This fixes the random kernel crash seen while removing the driver, when
running the load/unload test over multiple iterations.
1) modprobe btnxpuart
2) hciconfig hci0 reset
3) hciconfig (check hci0 interface up with valid BD address)
4) modprobe -r btnxpuart
Repeat steps 1 to 4
The ps_wakeup() call in btnxpuart_close() schedules the psdata->work(),
which gets scheduled after module is removed, causing a kernel crash.
This hidden issue got highlighted after enabling Power Save by default
in 4183a7be7700 (Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Enable Power Save feature on
startup)
The new ps_cleanup() deasserts UART break immediately while closing
serdev device, cancels any scheduled ps_work and destroys the ps_lock
mutex.

nfc: pn533: Add poll mod list filling check
In case of im_protocols value is 1 and tm_protocols value is 0 this
combination successfully passes the check
'if (!im_protocols && !tm_protocols)' in the nfc_start_poll().
But then after pn533_poll_create_mod_list() call in pn533_start_poll()
poll mod list will remain empty and dev->poll_mod_count will remain 0
which lead to division by zero.
Normally no im protocol has value 1 in the mask, so this combination is
not expected by driver. But these protocol values actually come from
userspace via Netlink interface (NFC_CMD_START_POLL operation). So a
broken or malicious program may pass a message containing a "bad"
combination of protocol parameter values so that dev->poll_mod_count
is not incremented inside pn533_poll_create_mod_list(), thus leading
to division by zero.
Call trace looks like:
nfc_genl_start_poll()
nfc_start_poll()
->start_poll()
pn533_start_poll()
Add poll mod list filling check.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: prevent concurrent execution of tcp_sk_exit_batch
Its possible that two threads call tcp_sk_exit_batch() concurrently,
once from the cleanup_net workqueue, once from a task that failed to clone
a new netns. In the latter case, error unwinding calls the exit handlers
in reverse order for the 'failed' netns.
tcp_sk_exit_batch() calls tcp_twsk_purge().
Problem is that since commit b099ce2602d8 ("net: Batch inet_twsk_purge"),
this function picks up twsk in any dying netns, not just the one passed
in via exit_batch list.
This means that the error unwind of setup_net() can "steal" and destroy
timewait sockets belonging to the exiting netns.
This allows the netns exit worker to proceed to call
WARN_ON_ONCE(!refcount_dec_and_test(&net->ipv4.tcp_death_row.tw_refcount));
without the expected 1 -> 0 transition, which then splats.
At same time, error unwind path that is also running inet_twsk_purge()
will splat as well:

... because refcount_dec() of tw_refcount unexpectedly dropped to 0.
This doesn't seem like an actual bug (no tw sockets got lost and I don't
see a use-after-free) but as erroneous trigger of debug check.
Add a mutex to force strict ordering: the task that calls tcp_twsk_purge()
blocks other task from doing final _dec_and_test before mutex-owner has
removed all tw sockets of dying netns. |

This went unnoticed as compilers hoist the access into the non-preemptible
region where the pointer is actually used. But of course it's valid that
the compiler keeps it at the place where the code puts it which rightfully
triggers:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
caller is hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull+0x1c/0xc0
Move it to the actual usage site which is in a non-preemptible region. |

ALSA: line6: Fix racy access to midibuf
There can be concurrent accesses to line6 midibuf from both the URB
completion callback and the rawmidi API access. This could be a cause
of KMSAN warning triggered by syzkaller below (so put as reported-by
here).
This patch protects the midibuf call of the former code path with a
spinlock for avoiding the possible races. |

platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Protect ACPI notify handler against recursion
Since commit e2ffcda16290 ("ACPI: OSL: Allow Notify () handlers to run on

run on multiple CPU cores racing with themselves.
This race gets hit on Dell Venue 7140 tablets when undocking from
the keyboard, causing the handler to try and register priv->switches_dev
twice, as can be seen from the dev_info() message getting logged twice:

serial: core: check uartclk for zero to avoid divide by zero
Calling ioctl TIOCSSERIAL with an invalid baud_base can
result in uartclk being zero, which will result in a
divide by zero error in uart_get_divisor(). The check for
uartclk being zero in uart_set_info() needs to be done
before other settings are made as subsequent calls to

Looking at the padata_mt_helper() function, the only way a divide-by-0
panic can happen is when ps->chunk_size is 0. The way that chunk_size is
initialized in padata_do_multithreaded(), chunk_size can be 0 when the
min_chunk in the passed-in padata_mt_job structure is 0.
Fix this divide-by-0 panic by making sure that chunk_size will be at least
1 no matter what the input parameters are. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tcp: Disable TCP-AO static key after RCU grace period
The lifetime of TCP-AO static_key is the same as the last
tcp_ao_info. On the socket destruction tcp_ao_info ceases to be
with RCU grace period, while tcp-ao static branch is currently deferred
destructed. The static key definition is
: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_DEFERRED_FALSE(tcp_ao_needed, HZ);
which means that if RCU grace period is delayed by more than a second
and tcp_ao_needed is in the process of disablement, other CPUs may
yet see tcp_ao_info which atent dead, but soon-to-be.
And that breaks the assumption of static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled().
See the comment near the definition:
> * The caller must make sure that the static key can't get disabled while
> * in this function. It doesn't patch jump labels, only adds a user to
> * an already enabled static key.
Originally it was introduced in commit eb8c507296f6 ("jump_label:
Prevent key->enabled int overflow"), which is needed for the atomic
contexts, one of which would be the creation of a full socket from a
request socket. In that atomic context, it's known by the presence
of the key (md5/ao) that the static branch is already enabled.
So, the ref counter for that static branch is just incremented
instead of holding the proper mutex.
static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled() is just a helper for such usage
case. But it must not be used if the static branch could get disabled
in parallel as it's not protected by jump_label_mutex and as a result,
races with jump_label_update() implementation details.
Happened on netdev test-bot[1], so not a theoretical issue:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: Fix ToCToU between perm check and set-uid/gid usage
When opening a file for exec via do_filp_open(), permission checking is
done against the file's metadata at that moment, and on success, a file
pointer is passed back. Much later in the execve() code path, the file
metadata (specifically mode, uid, and gid) is used to determine if/how
to set the uid and gid. However, those values may have changed since the
permissions check, meaning the execution may gain unintended privileges.
For example, if a file could change permissions from executable and not
set-id:
---------x 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
to set-id and non-executable:
---S------ 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
it is possible to gain root privileges when execution should have been
disallowed.
While this race condition is rare in real-world scenarios, it has been
observed (and proven exploitable) when package managers are updating
the setuid bits of installed programs. Such files start with being
world-executable but then are adjusted to be group-exec with a set-uid
bit. For example, "chmod o-x,u+s target" makes "target" executable only
by uid "root" and gid "cdrom", while also becoming setuid-root:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
becomes:
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
But racing the chmod means users without group "cdrom" membership can
get the permission to execute "target" just before the chmod, and when
the chmod finishes, the exec reaches brpm_fill_uid(), and performs the
setuid to root, violating the expressed authorization of "only cdrom
group members can setuid to root".
Re-check that we still have execute permissions in case the metadata
has changed. It would be better to keep a copy from the perm-check time,
but until we can do that refactoring, the least-bad option is to do a
full inode_permission() call (under inode lock). It is understood that
this is safe against dead-locks, but hardly optimal. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma: fix call order in dmam_free_coherent
dmam_free_coherent() frees a DMA allocation, which makes the
freed vaddr available for reuse, then calls devres_destroy()
to remove and free the data structure used to track the DMA
allocation. Between the two calls, it is possible for a
concurrent task to make an allocation with the same vaddr
and add it to the devres list.
If this happens, there will be two entries in the devres list
with the same vaddr and devres_destroy() can free the wrong
entry, triggering the WARN_ON() in dmam_match.
Fix by destroying the devres entry before freeing the DMA
allocation.
