CVE-2025-40231 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vsock: fix lock inversion in vsock_assign_transport()

Syzbot reported a potential lock inversion deadlock between
vsock_register_mutex and sk_lock-AF_VSOCK when vsock_linger() is called.

The issue was introduced by commit 687aa0c5581b ("vsock: Fix
transport_* TOCTOU") which added vsock_register_mutex locking in
vsock_assign_transport() around the transport->release() call, that can
call vsock_linger(). vsock_assign_transport() can be called with sk_lock
held. vsock_linger() calls sk_wait_event() that temporarily releases and
re-acquires sk_lock. During this window, if another thread hold
vsock_register_mutex while trying to acquire sk_lock, a circular
dependency is created.

Fix this by releasing vsock_register_mutex before calling
transport->release() and vsock_deassign_transport(). This is safe
because we don't need to hold vsock_register_mutex while releasing the
old transport, and we ensure the new transport won't disappear by
obtaining a module reference first via try_module_get().
CVE-2025-40232 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rv: Fully convert enabled_monitors to use list_head as iterator

The callbacks in enabled_monitors_seq_ops are inconsistent. Some treat the
iterator as struct rv_monitor *, while others treat the iterator as struct
list_head *.

This causes a wrong type cast and crashes the system as reported by Nathan.

Convert everything to use struct list_head * as iterator. This also makes
enabled_monitors consistent with available_monitors.
CVE-2025-40233 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: clear extent cache after moving/defragmenting extents

The extent map cache can become stale when extents are moved or
defragmented, causing subsequent operations to see outdated extent flags. 
This triggers a BUG_ON in ocfs2_refcount_cal_cow_clusters().

The problem occurs when:
1. copy_file_range() creates a reflinked extent with OCFS2_EXT_REFCOUNTED
2. ioctl(FITRIM) triggers ocfs2_move_extents()
3. __ocfs2_move_extents_range() reads and caches the extent (flags=0x2)
4. ocfs2_move_extent()/ocfs2_defrag_extent() calls __ocfs2_move_extent()
   which clears OCFS2_EXT_REFCOUNTED flag on disk (flags=0x0)
5. The extent map cache is not invalidated after the move
6. Later write() operations read stale cached flags (0x2) but disk has
   updated flags (0x0), causing a mismatch
7. BUG_ON(!(rec->e_flags & OCFS2_EXT_REFCOUNTED)) triggers

Fix by clearing the extent map cache after each extent move/defrag
operation in __ocfs2_move_extents_range().  This ensures subsequent
operations read fresh extent data from disk.

CVE-2025-40235 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: directly free partially initialized fs_info in btrfs_check_leaked_roots()

If fs_info->super_copy or fs_info->super_for_commit allocated failed in
btrfs_get_tree_subvol(), then no need to call btrfs_free_fs_info().
Otherwise btrfs_check_leaked_roots() would access NULL pointer because
fs_info->allocated_roots had not been initialised.

CVE-2025-40239 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: phy: micrel: always set shared->phydev for LAN8814

Currently, during the LAN8814 PTP probe shared->phydev is only set if PTP
clock gets actually set, otherwise the function will return before setting
it.

This is an issue as shared->phydev is unconditionally being used when IRQ
is being handled, especially in lan8814_gpio_process_cap and since it was
not set it will cause a NULL pointer exception and crash the kernel.

So, simply always set shared->phydev to avoid the NULL pointer exception.
CVE-2025-40240 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: avoid NULL dereference when chunk data buffer is missing

chunk->skb pointer is dereferenced in the if-block where it's supposed
to be NULL only.

chunk->skb can only be NULL if chunk->head_skb is not. Check for frag_list
instead and do it just before replacing chunk->skb. We're sure that
otherwise chunk->skb is non-NULL because of outer if() condition.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erofs: fix crafted invalid cases for encoded extents

Robert recently reported two corrupted images that can cause system
crashes, which are related to the new encoded extents introduced
in Linux 6.15:

  - The first one [1] has plen != 0 (e.g. plen == 0x2000000) but
    (plen & Z_EROFS_EXTENT_PLEN_MASK) == 0. It is used to represent
    special extents such as sparse extents (!EROFS_MAP_MAPPED), but
    previously only plen == 0 was handled;

  - The second one [2] has pa 0xffffffffffdcffed and plen 0xb4000,
    then "cur [0xfffffffffffff000] += bvec.bv_len [0x1000]" in
    "} while ((cur += bvec.bv_len) < end);" wraps around, causing an
    out-of-bound access of pcl->compressed_bvecs[] in
    z_erofs_submit_queue().  EROFS only supports 48-bit physical block
    addresses (up to 1EiB for 4k blocks), so add a sanity check to
    enforce this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gfs2: Fix unlikely race in gdlm_put_lock

In gdlm_put_lock(), there is a small window of time in which the
DFL_UNMOUNT flag has been set but the lockspace hasn't been released,
yet.  In that window, dlm may still call gdlm_ast() and gdlm_bast().
To prevent it from dereferencing freed glock objects, only free the
glock if the lockspace has actually been released.

CVE-2025-40245 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nios2: ensure that memblock.current_limit is set when setting pfn limits

On nios2, with CONFIG_FLATMEM set, the kernel relies on
memblock_get_current_limit() to determine the limits of mem_map, in
particular for max_low_pfn.
Unfortunately, memblock.current_limit is only default initialized to
MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE at this point of the bootup, potentially leading
to situations where max_low_pfn can erroneously exceed the value of
max_pfn and, thus, the valid range of available DRAM.

This can in turn cause kernel-level paging failures, e.g.:

[   76.900000] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 20303000
[   76.900000] ea = c0080890, ra = c000462c, cause = 14
[   76.900000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops
[   76.900000] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops ]---

This patch fixes this by pre-calculating memblock.current_limit
based on the upper limits of the available memory ranges via
adjust_lowmem_bounds, a simplified version of the equivalent
implementation within the arm architecture.

 ==================================================================

On further analysis, I realized that the second parameter to min() is
not correct.  xfs_ifork::if_bytes is the size of the xfs_ifork::if_data
buffer.  if_bytes can be smaller than the data fork size because:

(a) the forkoff code tries to keep the data area as large as possible
(b) for symbolic links, if_bytes is the ondisk file size + 1
(c) forkoff is always a multiple of 8.

Case in point: for a single-byte symlink target, forkoff will be
8 but the buffer will only be 2 bytes long.

In other words, the logic here is wrong and we walk off the end of the
incore buffer.  Fix that.

Since msm_vma_job_free() is called directly from the ioctl, this looks
like an error path cleanup issue.  Which I think results from
prealloc_cleanup() called without a preceding successful
prealloc_allocate() call.  So handle that case better.

   virtio_transport_get_credit(). This results in a permanently elevated
   `vvs->bytes_unsent`. Which, in turn, confuses the SOCK_LINGER handling.

2. connect() resetting a connected socket's state may race with socket
   being placed in a sockmap. A disconnected socket remaining in a sockmap
   breaks sockmap's assumptions. And gives rise to WARNs.

3. connect() transitioning SS_CONNECTED -> SS_UNCONNECTED allows for a
   transport change/drop after TCP_ESTABLISHED. Which poses a problem for
   any simultaneous sendmsg() or connect() and may result in a
   use-after-free/null-ptr-deref.

Do not disconnect socket on signal/timeout. Keep the logic for unconnected
sockets: they don't linger, can't be placed in a sockmap, are rejected by
sendmsg().

CVE-2025-40249 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpio: cdev: make sure the cdev fd is still active before emitting events

With the final call to fput() on a file descriptor, the release action
may be deferred and scheduled on a work queue. The reference count of
that descriptor is still zero and it must not be used. It's possible
that a GPIO change, we want to notify the user-space about, happens
AFTER the reference count on the file descriptor associated with the
character device went down to zero but BEFORE the .release() callback
was called from the workqueue and so BEFORE we unregistered from the
notifier.

Using the regular get_file() routine in this situation triggers the
following warning:

  struct file::f_count incremented from zero; use-after-free condition present!

So use the get_file_active() variant that will return NULL on file
descriptors that have been or are being released.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: qlogic/qede: fix potential out-of-bounds read in qede_tpa_cont() and qede_tpa_end()

The loops in 'qede_tpa_cont()' and 'qede_tpa_end()', iterate
over 'cqe->len_list[]' using only a zero-length terminator as
the stopping condition. If the terminator was missing or
malformed, the loop could run past the end of the fixed-size array.

Add an explicit bound check using ARRAY_SIZE() in both loops to prevent
a potential out-of-bounds access.

CVE-2025-40254 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: openvswitch: remove never-working support for setting nsh fields

The validation of the set(nsh(...)) action is completely wrong.
It runs through the nsh_key_put_from_nlattr() function that is the
same function that validates NSH keys for the flow match and the
push_nsh() action.  However, the set(nsh(...)) has a very different
memory layout.  Nested attributes in there are doubled in size in
case of the masked set().  That makes proper validation impossible.

There is also confusion in the code between the 'masked' flag, that
says that the nested attributes are doubled in size containing both
the value and the mask, and the 'is_mask' that says that the value
we're parsing is the mask.  This is causing kernel crash on trying to
write into mask part of the match with SW_FLOW_KEY_PUT() during
validation, while validate_nsh() doesn't allocate any memory for it:

The third issue with this process is that while trying to convert
the non-masked set into masked one, validate_set() copies and doubles
the size of the OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH as if it didn't have any nested
attributes.  It should be copying each nested attribute and doubling
them in size independently.  And the process must be properly reversed
during the conversion back from masked to a non-masked variant during
the flow dump.

In the end, the only two outcomes of trying to use this action are
either validation failure or a kernel crash.  And if somehow someone
manages to install a flow with such an action, it will most definitely
not do what it is supposed to, since all the keys and the masks are
mixed up.

Fixing all the issues is a complex task as it requires re-writing
most of the validation code.

Given that and the fact that this functionality never worked since
introduction, let's just remove it altogether.  It's better to
re-introduce it later with a proper implementation instead of trying
to fix it in stable releases.
CVE-2025-40255 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: core: prevent NULL deref in generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower()

The ethtool tsconfig Netlink path can trigger a null pointer
dereference. A call chain such as:

  tsconfig_prepare_data() ->
  dev_get_hwtstamp_phylib() ->
  vlan_hwtstamp_get() ->
  generic_hwtstamp_get_lower() ->
  generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower()

results in generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() being called with
kernel_cfg->ifr as NULL.

The generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() function does not expect
a NULL ifr and dereferences it, leading to a system crash.

Fix this by adding a NULL check for kernel_cfg->ifr in
generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower(). If ifr is NULL, return -EINVAL.
CVE-2025-40256 (published 2025-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfrm: also call xfrm_state_delete_tunnel at destroy time for states that were never added

In commit b441cf3f8c4b ("xfrm: delete x->tunnel as we delete x"), I
missed the case where state creation fails between full
initialization (->init_state has been called) and being inserted on
the lists.

In this situation, ->init_state has been called, so for IPcomp
tunnels, the fallback tunnel has been created and added onto the
lists, but the user state never gets added, because we fail before
that. The user state doesn't go through __xfrm_state_delete, so we
don't call xfrm_state_delete_tunnel for those states, and we end up
leaking the FB tunnel.

There are several codepaths affected by this: the add/update paths, in
both net/key and xfrm, and the migrate code (xfrm_migrate,
xfrm_state_migrate). A "proper" rollback of the init_state work would
probably be doable in the add/update code, but for migrate it gets
more complicated as multiple states may be involved.

At some point, the new (not-inserted) state will be destroyed, so call
xfrm_state_delete_tunnel during xfrm_state_gc_destroy. Most states
will have their fallback tunnel cleaned up during __xfrm_state_delete,
which solves the issue that b441cf3f8c4b (and other patches before it)
aimed at. All states (including FB tunnels) will be removed from the
lists once xfrm_state_fini has called flush_work(&xfrm_state_gc_work).

mptcp: fix race condition in mptcp_schedule_work()

syzbot reported use-after-free in mptcp_schedule_work() [1]

scx_alloc_and_add_sched() and scx_enable() ends up dereferencing an
error pointer.

Error handling is fixed in scx_alloc_and_add_sched() to propagate
PTR_ERR() into ret, so that scx_enable() jumps to the existing error
path, avoiding random dereference on failure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: usb-audio: Fix potential overflow of PCM transfer buffer

The PCM stream data in USB-audio driver is transferred over USB URB
packet buffers, and each packet size is determined dynamically.  The
packet sizes are limited by some factors such as wMaxPacketSize USB
descriptor.  OTOH, in the current code, the actually used packet sizes
are determined only by the rate and the PPS, which may be bigger than
the size limit above.  This results in a buffer overflow, as reported
by syzbot.

Basically when the limit is smaller than the calculated packet size,
it implies that something is wrong, most likely a weird USB
descriptor.  So the best option would be just to return an error at
the parameter setup time before doing any further operations.

This patch introduces such a sanity check, and returns -EINVAL when
the packet size is greater than maxpacksize.  The comparison with
ep->packsize[1] alone should suffice since it's always equal or
greater than ep->packsize[0].

CVE-2025-40270 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm, swap: fix potential UAF issue for VMA readahead

Since commit 78524b05f1a3 ("mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device
pinning"), the common helper for allocating and preparing a folio in the
swap cache layer no longer tries to get a swap device reference
internally, because all callers of __read_swap_cache_async are already
holding a swap entry reference.  The repeated swap device pinning isn't
needed on the same swap device.

Caller of VMA readahead is also holding a reference to the target entry's
swap device, but VMA readahead walks the page table, so it might encounter
swap entries from other devices, and call __read_swap_cache_async on
another device without holding a reference to it.

So it is possible to cause a UAF when swapoff of device A raced with
swapin on device B, and VMA readahead tries to read swap entries from
device A.  It's not easy to trigger, but in theory, it could cause real
issues.

Make VMA readahead try to get the device reference first if the swap
device is a different one from the target entry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/secretmem: fix use-after-free race in fault handler

When a page fault occurs in a secret memory file created with
`memfd_secret(2)`, the kernel will allocate a new folio for it, mark the
underlying page as not-present in the direct map, and add it to the file
mapping.

If two tasks cause a fault in the same page concurrently, both could end
up allocating a folio and removing the page from the direct map, but only
one would succeed in adding the folio to the file mapping.  The task that
failed undoes the effects of its attempt by (a) freeing the folio again
and (b) putting the page back into the direct map.  However, by doing
these two operations in this order, the page becomes available to the
allocator again before it is placed back in the direct mapping.

If another task attempts to allocate the page between (a) and (b), and the
kernel tries to access it via the direct map, it would result in a
supervisor not-present page fault.

Fix the ordering to restore the direct map before the folio is freed.

ALSA: usb-audio: Fix NULL pointer dereference in snd_usb_mixer_controls_badd

In snd_usb_create_streams(), for UAC version 3 devices, the Interface
Association Descriptor (IAD) is retrieved via usb_ifnum_to_if(). If this
call fails, a fallback routine attempts to obtain the IAD from the next
interface and sets a BADD profile. However, snd_usb_mixer_controls_badd()
assumes that the IAD retrieved from usb_ifnum_to_if() is always valid,
without performing a NULL check. This can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference when usb_ifnum_to_if() fails to find the interface descriptor.

This patch adds a NULL pointer check after calling usb_ifnum_to_if() in
snd_usb_mixer_controls_badd() to prevent the dereference.

This issue was discovered by syzkaller, which triggered the bug by sending
a crafted USB device descriptor.
CVE-2025-40276 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/panthor: Flush shmem writes before mapping buffers CPU-uncached

The shmem layer zeroes out the new pages using cached mappings, and if
we don't CPU-flush we might leave dirty cachelines behind, leading to
potential data leaks and/or asynchronous buffer corruption when dirty
cachelines are evicted.

CVE-2025-40277 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vmwgfx: Validate command header size against SVGA_CMD_MAX_DATASIZE

This data originates from userspace and is used in buffer offset
calculations which could potentially overflow causing an out-of-bounds
access.
Severity: HIGH (CVSS 3.1 vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVE-2025-40278 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: sched: act_ife: initialize struct tc_ife to fix KMSAN kernel-infoleak

Fix a KMSAN kernel-infoleak detected  by the syzbot .

[net?] KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in __skb_datagram_iter

In tcf_ife_dump(), the variable 'opt' was partially initialized using a
designatied initializer. While the padding bytes are reamined
uninitialized. nla_put() copies the entire structure into a
netlink message, these uninitialized bytes leaked to userspace.

Initialize the structure with memset before assigning its fields
to ensure all members and padding are cleared prior to beign copied.

This change silences the KMSAN report and prevents potential information
leaks from the kernel memory.

This fix has been tested and validated by syzbot. This patch closes the
bug reported at the following syzkaller link and ensures no infoleak.
CVE-2025-40279 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: sched: act_connmark: initialize struct tc_ife to fix kernel leak

In tcf_connmark_dump(), the variable 'opt' was partially initialized using a
designatied initializer. While the padding bytes are reamined
uninitialized. nla_put() copies the entire structure into a
netlink message, these uninitialized bytes leaked to userspace.

Initialize the structure with memset before assigning its fields
to ensure all members and padding are cleared prior to beign copied.
CVE-2025-40281 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: prevent possible shift-out-of-bounds in sctp_transport_update_rto

syzbot reported a possible shift-out-of-bounds [1]

Blamed commit added rto_alpha_max and rto_beta_max set to 1000.

It is unclear if some sctp users are setting very large rto_alpha
and/or rto_beta.

In order to prevent user regression, perform the test at run time.

Also add READ_ONCE() annotations as sysctl values can change under us.

CVE-2025-40282 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: 6lowpan: reset link-local header on ipv6 recv path

Bluetooth 6lowpan.c netdev has header_ops, so it must set link-local
header for RX skb, otherwise things crash, eg. with AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW

Add missing skb_reset_mac_header() for uncompressed ipv6 RX path.

For the compressed one, it is done in lowpan_header_decompress().

CVE-2025-40283 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: btusb: reorder cleanup in btusb_disconnect to avoid UAF

There is a KASAN: slab-use-after-free read in btusb_disconnect().
Calling "usb_driver_release_interface(&btusb_driver, data->intf)" will
free the btusb data associated with the interface. The same data is
then used later in the function, hence the UAF.

Fix by moving the accesses to btusb data to before the data is free'd.

CVE-2025-40284 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: MGMT: cancel mesh send timer when hdev removed

mesh_send_done timer is not canceled when hdev is removed, which causes
crash if the timer triggers after hdev is gone.

Cancel the timer when MGMT removes the hdev, like other MGMT timers.

Should fix the BUG: sporadically seen by BlueZ test bot
(in "Mesh - Send cancel - 1" test).

CVE-2025-40287 (published 2025-12-06)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

exfat: fix improper check of dentry.stream.valid_size

We found an infinite loop bug in the exFAT file system that can lead to a
Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. When a dentry in an exFAT filesystem is
malformed, the following system calls — SYS_openat, SYS_ftruncate, and
SYS_pwrite64 — can cause the kernel to hang.

Root cause analysis shows that the size validation code in exfat_find()
does not check whether dentry.stream.valid_size is negative. As a result,
the system calls mentioned above can succeed and eventually trigger the DoS
issue.

This patch adds a check for negative dentry.stream.valid_size to prevent
this vulnerability.
