| OpenVPN ovpn-dco-win 0.6.5 through 2.8.13 allows unprivileged local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a race condition in the TCP connect path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Serialize PCM mmap with buffer reallocation to fix page UAF
snd_pcm_hw_params() and snd_pcm_hw_free() guard buffer reallocation
with an mmap_count check performed under the PCM stream lock, but the
lock is released long before the buffer is actually freed:
snd_pcm_sync_stop(), constraint refinement and do_free_pages() all
happen in between. snd_pcm_mmap_data(), on the other hand, takes no
lock at all: it validates against the old buffer's state and
dma_bytes, remaps its pages into the VMA, and only then increments
mmap_count.
A concurrent mmap() can therefore slip in between the check and the
free. remap_pfn_range() installs writable PTEs for the old buffer's
pages without taking page references, and the subsequent
do_free_pages() returns those pages to the page allocator while the
VMA still maps them. This leaves a stale, writable mapping of freed
pages: a page-level use-after-free that can be leveraged for local
privilege escalation.
Make snd_pcm_mmap_data() participate in the buffer-access scheme
introduced for hw_params/hw_free: acquire runtime->buffer_accessing
before validating and remapping, and release it afterwards. Buffer
reallocation already fails with -EBUSY while accessors are active,
and the mmap side now fails with -EBUSY while a reallocation is in
progress, so the validate/remap sequence and the check/free sequence
can no longer interleave.
A reproducer that turns this race into a stale writable mapping of
the freed DMA buffer pages is available on request. |

netfs: Fix readahead synchronisation issues by loading all folios upfront
There are some synchronisation issues that derive from the app thread
adding more folios to the rolling buffer whilst the collector thread is
looking at them or trying to clear them, such as determining the setting of
front_folio_order when the next folio hasn't been added yet,
The reason for the rolling buffer approach is that loading the buffer
upfront and then dropping all the refs just acquired is quite a slow
operation, and loading progressively allows some of the cost to be deferred
until after at least some of the I/O is started.
Instead, a better way is to load all the folios into the rolling buffer
upfront - and then drop the refs later, once the I/O is in progress. (Even
better would be for the refs not to be there at all.)
Fix this by changing the rolling buffer loader to load all the folios
selected by the VM for readahead upfront into the folio queue. The folio
queue is allocated a batch worth at a time as we don't know how many folios
are involved (the readahead_control struct, alas, has a page count, not a
folio count).
The folio refs acquired from readahead are then dropped in bulk once the
first subrequest is dispatched as it's quite a slow operation. The
collector waits for NETFS_RREQ_NEED_PUT_RA_REFS to be cleared so that it
doesn't unlock folios before the xarray has been scanned for them.
This simplifies the buffer handling later and isn't noticeably slower as
the xarray doesn't need to be modified and the folios are all already
pre-locked. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: don't update i_size in cifs_do_truncate without a cached handle
If find_writable_file() returns null, cifs_file_flush will return
0 without issuing set_file_size, and the outer 'if (!rc)' block
will set i_size to 0 before telling the server to truncate. If
the cifs_open() then fails, the inode will have size 0, while
the server file is unchanged.
Move the netfs_resize_file() and cifs_setsize() into the 'if
(cfile)', so they only run after a successful set_file_size.
In the no-handle else branch, evict stale pages with
truncate_inode_pages before the O_TRUNC open to dispose of old
cache pages, and let the open response set the i_size. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: treat TCP_CLOSING as once-established
Handle the TCP_ESTABLISHED -> TCP_CLOSING transition on OP_RST, which can
race with the connect loop. Immediately break and return 0 on
ESTABLISHED/CLOSING. The return value of connect() should reflect what
happened up to the point the connection was established or failed. Events
that occur afterwards must not affect it. E.g. even if OP_RW has already
set sk_err, connect() should still return 0, not ENOBUFS because of it.
Adapt the inaccurate comment above signal_pending().
Resetting a socket that is still present in connected_table can lead to
memory corruption. The reporter noted lost transports for in-flight skbs,
and I have reproduced crashes caused by re-insertion into connected_table.

| A security flaw has been discovered in a2aproject a2a-rs up to 0.4.4. The affected element is the function InMemoryTaskStore::update of the file a2a-server/src/task_store/inmemory.rs. The manipulation results in race condition. The attack may be performed from remote. The patch is identified as 7050c7d329238539424ee46440e23b91c4825bee. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue. |

firewire: core: fix race condition in split transaction handling
For a split transaction, either fw_core_handle_response() or
split_transaction_timeout_callback() may manipulate the same transaction
entry in the pending transaction list. The return value of timer_delete()
is used to determine which function handles the entry. If the transaction
is a split transaction and timer_delete() returns zero, the timeout
callback may already be running. In this case, the response handler must
leave the entry in the list for the timeout callback to remove.
A previous code refactoring broke this behavior, introducing a race
condition in which both functions could process the same transaction.
This could lead to a use-after-free on the transaction initiator side.
Fix the regression by ensuring that the response handler does not process
the transaction when timer_delete() returns zero. The timeout callback is
responsible for removing the entry from the pending transaction list. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmgenet: unshare the skb before writing the control block
bcmgenet stores first_cb, last_cb and bytes_sent in the skb control
block and reads them back on completion to free the skb and credit BQL.
ether_setup() leaves IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set, so the stack can resubmit
a shared skb that is still in the ring. The next transmit overwrites
last_cb, so the earlier slots complete without crediting their bytes
and BQL stalls the queue until the watchdog resets it.
Unshare the skb before writing the control block.
Reproduce with pktgen in clone_skb mode, which hands the driver the same
skb while earlier copies are still in the ring:
modprobe pktgen
pg=/proc/net/pktgen
echo "add_device eth0" > $pg/kpktgend_0
echo "dst_mac AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" > $pg/eth0
echo "dst 192.0.2.1" > $pg/eth0
echo "clone_skb 8" > $pg/eth0
echo "count 0" > $pg/eth0
echo start > $pg/pgctrl &
sleep 5
echo stop > $pg/pgctrl
wait
cat /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/inflight
inflight stays nonzero on the now idle queue. clone_skb 0 leaves it at
zero. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-crypt: fix a tiny race condition in crypt_dec_pending
crypt_dec_pending reads io->error before calling atomic_dec_and_test.
Another context, for example crypt_endio called from an interrupt, may
set io->error and drop its reference between the read and the
decrement. crypt_dec_pending then drops the last reference and completes
the bio with the stale status - so a read that failed and was never
decrypted, or a write that failed, is reported as successful.
The read was placed before the decrement by commit b35f8caa0890 ("dm
crypt: wait for endio to complete before destruction"), because that
commit freed dm_crypt_io before calling bio_endio. This is no longer the
case, dm_crypt_io lives in the per-bio data now.
Read io->error after atomic_dec_and_test instead. atomic_dec_and_test is
fully ordered, so no additional barrier is needed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: a mount that copy_tree() leaves out can't take over a lock
Since commit c62a4766937e ("move_mount: transfer MNT_LOCKED") a mount
can be moved beneath a locked mount. The lock moves from the old cover
to the new mount which takes over the job of hiding what's under it and
the old cover can be unmounted. That works as long as the new mount
stays. But the caller picks the new mount and copy_tree() leaves a
mount of a mount namespace file out of every copy made without
CL_COPY_MNT_NS_FILE, together with everything mounted on it, and never
looks at MNT_LOCKED. unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) and mount propagation make
such copies.
So a task that is root in its own user namespace gets rid of a locked
cover on a file without a race and without touching the filesystem
below it. It makes a child with a mount namespace of its own, binds the
child's /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt beneath the cover with MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH,
which hands the lock to that bind, and calls unshare(CLONE_NEWNS). The
new mount namespace has nothing on the file. That's the usual way to
mask a single file, a bind of /dev/null or of an empty file. With a
bind of an ordinary file the file stays covered.
copy_tree() already refuses to leave out a locked unbindable mount with
-EPERM since commit df7342b24018 ("mount: Don't allow copying
MNT_UNBINDABLE|MNT_LOCKED mounts"). Do the same for a locked mount of a
mount namespace file. That also covers a tree copied with
CL_COPY_MNT_NS_FILE and attached into a mount namespace of another user
namespace where lock_mnt_tree() locks it. Note that unshare(CLONE_NEWNS)
and clone(CLONE_NEWNS) fail with EPERM from such a mount namespace from
then on. The mount can't be left out and it can't be unmounted.
And refuse to move a mount of a mount namespace file beneath a locked
mount in the first place. Otherwise the task ends up with a mount it
can't unmount and an unshare() that fails for good.
Chris also found a second mount that goes away by itself, a clone of an
automounted mount that shrink_submounts() took along with its parent.
Commit f78ddcc87224 ("namespace: never expire a locked mount") took
care of that one.
Chris's reproducer is appended. Mode nsfile reads SECRET after the
unshare() on 7.3-rc7, with this patch the move_mount() fails with
EINVAL and the file stays covered. nsfile-control uses an ordinary file
and reads MASK both ways.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix data corruption with concurrent writes and O_TRUNC
cifs_do_truncate() flushes dirty pages with filemap_write_and_wait()
and truncates the file on the server, but in the old code both
operations ran without holding i_rwsem or invalidate_lock. A
concurrent buffered write via netfs_perform_write() -- which only
needs i_rwsem shared -- could dirty new pages after the flush but
before the local truncation, and those pages would be silently
discarded by cifs_setsize() -> truncate_pagecache().
Fix by acquiring inode_lock (exclusive i_rwsem) and
filemap_invalidate_lock at the top of cifs_do_truncate(), so the
entire flush-truncate-resize sequence is atomic with respect to:
- buffered writes (blocked by exclusive i_rwsem, since
netfs_start_io_write takes i_rwsem shared),
- read page faults (blocked by exclusive invalidate_lock, since
filemap_fault takes it shared),
- writeback collection (blocked by netfs_wb_begin/netfs_wb_end
around the server truncate and local resize, since
netfs_writepages also acquires the wb lock). |

tracing: Fix hist trigger timestamps for buffered events
Syzkaller triggered a WARN_ON_ONCE(!nest) warning:

ring_buffer_event_time_stamp
nest = local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing);
WARN_ON_ONCE(!nest) // trigger warning
The root cause is that when an event file has a filter attached and the
hist trigger has not yet been attached, trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve()
writes the event into the per-CPU trace_buffered_event temp buffer instead
of reserving it in the ring buffer, so cpu_buffer->committing is not
incremented. When the event is later processed at commit time by a hist
trigger, hist_field_timestamp() -> ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() sees a
zero committing count, triggering WARN_ON_ONCE(!nest).
tracing_event_time_stamp() was added by commit d8279bfc5e959 ("tracing:
Add tracing_event_time_stamp() API") for exactly this case: if the event
is the per-CPU trace_buffered_event, it returns the current ring buffer
timestamp. But it never gained a caller. Use it in hist_field_timestamp(),
so that a hist trigger that races onto a buffered event records the
current time, which is only marginally later than when the event was
recorded, instead of warning and recording a bogus timestamp. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
autofs: ignore notification errors from a replaced pipe
autofs_notify_daemon() takes a reference to the current notification
pipe under wq_mutex, then drops the mutex before writing the request. The
write can block while the daemon enters catatonic mode and installs a
replacement pipe.
If the old pipe's reader is then closed, the delayed write returns -EPIPE
and the generic error path enters catatonic mode again. That transition
acts on the current superblock state, closes the replacement pipe, and
releases the new daemon generation's wait queues.
Only enter catatonic mode when the pipe which failed is still the current
pipe. Factor the already-locked transition so the identity check and state
change are atomic with respect to another replacement.
This was reproduced on v7.3-rc5-337-gff47652a4b66c in a local QEMU guest.
An unprivileged UID 65534 lookup filled the old packet pipe before a
normal CATATONIC/SETPIPEFD restart. On the unmodified kernel, the new pipe
received HUP and both a pending victim lookup and a later lookup failed
with ENOENT in two out of two fresh-mount runs.
With this change, the new pipe remained active, received an intact
304-byte request, and both victim lookups completed in two out of two
runs. Normal lookup and restart-without-a-blocked-writer controls passed.
No KASAN, oops, refcount, or lock diagnostic was observed. A source
reproducer and complete local logs are available privately on request.
The demonstrated impact is limited to denial of a shared autofs service
during a legitimate daemon restart. No memory corruption, information leak,
privilege escalation, or code execution primitive was observed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: take invalidate_lock in ntfs_setattr_size()
ntfs_setattr_size() updates i_size and resizes the on-disk attribute
without holding mapping->invalidate_lock. Page faults take the lock
shared, so a fault racing the resize can resolve a VCN against the
transient runlist state of ntfs_non_resident_attr_expand() and fail
with a spurious SIGBUS, and can interleave with the size-change
epilogue (truncate_pagecache(), i_size_write(),
pagecache_isize_extended()).
Take invalidate_lock exclusively around the whole resize after
inode_dio_wait(), matching the fallocate path and other filesystems
such as xfs, which wraps truncate in its mmaplock (= invalidate_lock). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac802154: fix data race and NULL deref on local->assoc_dev
local->assoc_dev is shared between the association path and the
association-response worker without common synchronization.
mac802154_perform_association() stores the coordinator pointer and waits
for a response. Its timeout and error paths clear the pointer and return
to mac802154_associate(), which may then free the coordinator object.
Meanwhile, mac802154_rx_mac_cmd_worker() may observe the associating bit
and enter mac802154_process_association_resp(), which dereferences
assoc_dev.
The worker's bit test and the handler's pointer dereference are not
atomic with respect to cleanup. Cleanup can clear assoc_dev between them,
causing a NULL dereference, or free the coordinator while the response
handler still uses the pointer.
The recorded result is exposed to the same window. assoc_status and
assoc_addr are written by the handler but read by the association path
while the associating bit is still set, so a second response for the same
request - a malicious one, for instance - can replace them between those
reads and leave the caller with an incoherent status and address pair.
The response handler only needs the coordinator extended address.
Replace assoc_dev with a cached address, removing the pointer lifetime
dependency. Protect the cached address and the associating bit with a
dedicated spinlock. A READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pair would not guarantee
an atomic __le64 access on all 32-bit architectures.
wpan_dev->association_lock cannot be reused here: nl802154_associate()
holds it across rdev_associate(), hence for the whole of
mac802154_perform_association() including the wait for the response.
A response handler taking that lock would only get it once the
association has already given up.
Reset the completion, publish the cached address, and set the associating
bit while holding the lock. The response handler takes the lock, rechecks
the bit and the cached address, records the response, clears the bit, and
only then completes the waiter. Thus cleanup cannot pass the handler
between its state check and completion, and the cached 64-bit value
cannot tear.
The handler clears the bit before completing, not the woken waiter:
otherwise complete() is issued under the lock and a second (e.g.
malicious) response can reacquire it before the waiter and replace the
result. So a wait that returns success implies the bit is already clear,
and the success and negative-response paths return directly. The
transmit-error and timeout paths still clear it under assoc_lock, which
serializes any racing response against the cleanup while the call returns
the error it already selected. Both paths snapshot assoc_status and
assoc_addr under the same lock.
Both users run in process context, so a plain spinlock is sufficient.
The lock is not held while waiting for the completion. |
