kernel: wifi: mac80211: drop stray 'static' from fast-RX rx_result

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Wi-Fi mac80211 subsystem. The ieee80211invokefastrx function uses a static variable for rxresult, which is shared across concurrent calls. This can lead to incorrect processing of Wi-Fi packets, where a packet might be mishandled or its status incorrectly...

kernel: ALSA: usb-audio: Add sanity check for OOB writes at silencing

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA Advanced Linux Sound Architecture USB audio subsystem. An inconsistency in how USB audio playback and capture streams are handled can lead to an out-of-bounds write to a memory buffer. This can result in a system crash, causing a denial of service for a...

kernel: wifi: mac80211: remove station if connection prep fails

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 Wi-Fi subsystem. When Multi-Link Operation MLO connection preparation fails, the system may not correctly remove the associated station. This can lead to a use-after-free or double-free vulnerability in the debugfs component, potentially causing...

kernel: Linux kernel: Use-After-Free in net/gro due to improper handling of zerocopy skbs

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Generic Receive Offload GRO networking subsystem. This vulnerability occurs when skbgroreceive attempts to merge zerocopy socket buffers skbs without properly managing page reference counts, specifically when the SKBFLMANAGEDFRAGREFS flag is set. An attacker...

kernel: mm/page_alloc: clear page->private in free_pages_prepare()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem. When pages are freed, the page-private field is not properly cleared. If these pages are later reallocated as high-order pages and split, the tail pages can retain stale page-private values. This can lead to a use-after-free...

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 Wi-Fi subsystem. When Multi-Link Operation MLO connection preparation fails, the system may not correctly remove the associated station. This can lead to a use-after-free or double-free vulnerability in the debugfs component, potentially causing...

kernel: netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem, specifically within the nfconntrackh323 module. This vulnerability occurs in the DecodeQ931 function when processing a zero-length value from a packet. An integer underflow during a length calculation results in a large, incorrect value...

kernel: Bluetooth: hci_event: fix potential UAF in SSP passkey handlers

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. This vulnerability, a Use-After-Free UAF, exists within the Secure Simple Pairing SSP passkey handlers. It occurs when hciconn lookup and field access are performed without proper locking, allowing a connection to be freed concurrently...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: q6apm-lpass-dai: Fixed multiple graph openings. Since “prepare” can be called multiple times, this can lead to multiple graph openings for the playback path. This will result in memory leaks; therefore, this issue is...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: intel/ipu6: fix error pointer dereference In a error path, it was confirmed that isp-psys is an error pointer that is not NULL. Therefore, this condition is true, and the error pointer is dereferenced. Thus, isp-psys shoul...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: Do not allow pointer operations on unconfigured streams When reporting the pointer for a compressed stream, we report the current I/O frame position by dividing the position by the number of channels multiplied by the...

USN-8390-2 linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-hwe, linux-oracle vulnerability

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker...

USN-8390-2: Linux kernel vulnerability

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker...

kernel: scsi: target: iscsi: Fix use-after-free in iscsit_dec_conn_usage_count()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iSCSI target subsystem. In the iscsitdecconnusagecount function, complete is called while still holding the conn-connusagelock spinlock. The waiting thread such as iscsitcloseconnection may wake up immediately and free the iscsitconn structure...
