kernel: ipv6: add NULL checks for idev in SRv6 paths

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Missing null pointer checks in the IPv6 Segment Routing SRv6 implementation, specifically within the seg6hmacvalidateskb and ipv6srhrcv functions, can occur when an IPv6 device lacks proper configuration. This oversight may allow an attacker to trigger a null...

kernel: gfs2: Fix slab-use-after-free in qd_put

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GFS2 file system. During filesystem shutdown, quota data objects were freed without being properly removed from the Least Recently Used LRU list. This oversight could lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, where the system attempts to access memory that has...

kernel: KVM: arm64: Reassign nested_mmus array behind mmu_lock

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine for arm64 architectures. An issue in the reallocation of the nestedmmus array allows a process to access freed memory. This memory corruption vulnerability could enable a local attacker to escalate privileges or cause a denia...

kernel: netfilter: flowtable: publish GC-visible tuple last

A flaw was found in the netfilter flowtable component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs due to a timing issue where the system's garbage collection can free a network flow while it is still being set up. This can lead to a 'use-after-free' condition, where the system attempts to acce...

kernel: KVM: s390: vsie: zero stale crypto bits

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM s390 Virtual Shared Inter-Partition Emulation VSIE component. When shadowing crypto access bits from a format0 apcb, stale crypto bits were not properly cleared. This oversight could allow a nested guest to potentially access a device that should no long...

kernel: nvme-tcp: fix host memory disclosure on R2T for a read command

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe Non-Volatile Memory Express over TCP nvme-tcp component. A malicious NVMe controller can exploit this vulnerability by sending a Ready to Transfer R2T command for a read request. The host system, failing to properly validate the request direction, will...

kernel: nvme/ioctl: check SUBMIT_IO with nvme_cmd_allowed()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe Non-Volatile Memory Express input/output control ioctl handling. An unprivileged local user could exploit this vulnerability by bypassing access checks in the NVMEIOCTLSUBMITIO function. This allows them to perform unauthorized I/O operations on a...

kernel: tls: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in get_netdev_for_sock()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TLS implementation net/tls/tlsdevice.c. The function getnetdevforsock is invoked during setsockopt, which is not executed under RCU Read-Copy-Update protection. It previously used skdstgetsk-dev, which can lead to a use-after-free UAF if the sk’s destination...

kernel: gfs2: add some missing log locking

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Global File System 2 GFS2 component. The gfs2logd function, responsible for log flushing, calls several log flushing functions without holding the required lock. This omission allows concurrent transactions to access shared resources without proper exclusion...

kernel: Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth L2CAP component. A race condition exists during the handling of new Bluetooth connections, where a newly created socket can be prematurely freed by another process before a callback function completes its operation. This use-after-free vulnerabilit...

kernel: dm-integrity: don't increment hash_offset twice

A flaw was found in the dm-integrity component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability arises from an error where a hashoffset variable is incremented twice, leading to incorrect memory access. A local attacker could exploit this issue to trigger a system crash, resulting in a denial of service...

kernel: netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within the nfqueue functionality. When a bridged packet is queued to NFQUEUE, it can retain a reference to a bridge's private fake destination 'dst' even after the bridge teardown has begun. This can lead to a use-after-free...

kernel: nvme-tcp: reject a read that transferred too few bytes

A flaw was found in the NVMe-TCP implementation of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs when the system completes a data read request even if the connected controller transfers fewer bytes than expected. As a result, the user application receives a mix of legitimate and stale data,...

kernel: nvme: add missing SRCU grace period in error path

A flaw was found in the NVMe Non-Volatile Memory Express driver of the Linux kernel. The nvmeallocns function's error handling path fails to wait for all SRCU Sleepable Read-Copy Update readers to complete before freeing a namespace structure. This oversight allows a concurrent reader to access a...

kernel: thermal: core: Fix thermal zone device registration error path

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's thermal core subsystem. When thermalzonedeviceregisterwithtrips fails during device registration, it does not properly wait for the thermal zone device's removal completion. This can lead to the premature freeing of the device's memory, creating a...

kernel: Kernel SMB client: Double-free vulnerability allows remote denial of service or privilege escalation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block SMB client. A double-free vulnerability exists in the SMB2ioctl replay path, where a response buffer can be freed twice under specific error conditions. A malicious or compromised SMB server could exploit this by sending crafted response...

kernel: ipvs: clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP Virtual Server IPVS component. When processing Internet Control Message Protocol ICMP errors for tunneled packets, the system can incorrectly use a stale IPv4 option offset. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted ICMP packet,...

kernel: ipv6: validate extension header length before copying to cmsg

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 networking stack. An unprivileged local user could exploit a vulnerability in how IPv6 extension header lengths are handled. By manipulating these headers using nftables, an attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure...

kernel: vxlan: do not reuse cached ip_hdr() value after skb_tunnel_check_pmtu()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Virtual Extensible LAN VXLAN module. This vulnerability occurs because a cached IP header pointer is improperly reused after a Path Maximum Transmission Unit PMTU check. When the packet's head is modified during the PMTU check, the old cached IP header point...
