| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
strparser: make sure __strp_recv isn't running before tearing down the parser
The comment above strp_done() claims that if strp is stopped,
strp_recv will no longer be called. That's only true if the caller has
a mechanism (eg locking) to guarantee that strp_recv() calls that
started before strp_stop() have completed by the time we call
strp_done().
This adds a dummy lock_sock/release_sock pair to guarantee that any
in-flight strp_recv() (which runs under either bh_lock_sock or
lock_sock, depending if it's called from ->sk_data_ready or strp_work)
has completed.
Only espintcp can be affected by this race condition, but this patch
makes sure no future user of strp can have the bug.
This could crash on strp->sk ("general mode" of strp), but this mode
has been here for 9 years and has never been used. It'll be gone soon,
no point worrying about it.
Switch the stopped/paused/etc bits to u8's to avoid races between
strp_stop() and strp_pause/unpause().
A reproducer has been published and turns the possible UAF into an
exploit [1]. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: destroy topsrv workqueues before closing connections
tipc_topsrv_stop() closed subscriber connections while the topology
server's send and receive workqueues were still running. Socket
callbacks and subscription events could then queue more work, and
in-flight send/recv work could drop the last connection reference
during the conn_idr walk.
That race produced several teardown failures: refcount_t addition on
0 from conn_get() on a connection whose release was blocked on
idr_lock, a subsequent use-after-free in tipc_conn_close(),
queue_work() on an already destroyed workqueue from the listener
data-ready callback, and an RCU stall in tipc_topsrv_exit_net()
while the walk spun under idr_lock.
Clear srv->listener under idr_lock so it acts as a shutdown flag,
skip queue_work() once it is NULL, destroy the workqueues to flush
in-flight work, and only then close the remaining connections.
Refuse tipc_conn_lookup() after that flag is cleared, and drop
idr_lock when the teardown walk finds no connection, so an
in-flight subscription event cannot pin idr_in_use while the
walk holds the lock.
v3 supersedes the narrower in-thread diff Tung Quang Nguyen
posted on 2026-09-23. It keeps his teardown order and adds the
lookup refusal and the empty-idr unlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KEYS: Fix add_key() race with keyring restriction
__key_create_or_update() snapshots keyring->restrict_link before taking
the destination keyring's semaphore. keyring_restrict() installs a
restriction while holding that semaphore.
This allows a writer to observe no restriction, wait for the keyring
owner to install a reject-all restriction and return successfully, and
then link a key using the stale NULL snapshot. The writer only needs
write permission on the destination keyring.
Move the restrict_link read after __key_link_lock() and
__key_link_begin(). The read and the subsequent restriction check are
then serialized with restriction installation by keyring->sem.
The race was reproduced on v7.2.8 in 19 executions where restriction
installation returned before the link completed. All 19 linked the key
despite the reject-all restriction. With this change, 312 executions
reached the same ordering and every add_key() call failed with -EPERM.
The issue was found by manual concurrency analysis assisted by AI-based
analysis and independently verified with a QEMU reproducer and kernel
instrumentation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memstick: rtsx_usb_ms: complete requests after eject instead of dropping them
memstick_check() can pass its host->removing check just before
rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove() sets eject/removing. Its next request is then
silently dropped: rtsx_usb_ms_request() skips schedule_work() once eject
is set, and drv_remove's cancel_work_sync() can also cancel a queued
handle_req before it picks the request up. Nobody completes
card->mrq_complete.
Once memstick core waits for requests without a timeout ("memstick: core:
wait for request completion before freeing card"), this hangs removal:
memstick_check() never returns and memstick_remove_host() blocks in
flush_workqueue():
INFO: task kworker/u10:3:65 blocked for more than 20 seconds.
Workqueue: kmemstick memstick_check
__wait_for_common
memstick_check
INFO: task kworker/1:1:33 blocked for more than 20 seconds.
Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event
__flush_workqueue
memstick_remove_host
rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove
Never drop a request. rtsx_usb_ms_request() always schedules handle_req,
and handle_req fails requests with -ENOMEDIUM once eject is set, without
touching the device. drv_remove flushes handle_req instead of cancelling
it, and cancels it only after memstick_remove_host(), when no new
request can arrive, so it cannot run on a freed host.
The host_mutex drain in drv_remove is removed: handle_req always leaves
host->req NULL when it finishes, so the drain never had anything to do,
and it would now race with handle_req. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sock: Serialize dead-device detachment
Rebinding an HCI socket after its controller is unregistered can race
monitor control replay and crash the kernel. hci_sock_bind() clears
hci_pi(sk)->hdev and drops the device reference under only the socket
lock, whereas send_monitor_control_replay() holds hci_sk_list.lock for
reading.
Replay can observe a non-NULL hdev, then bind can clear it and drop the
last reference before create_monitor_ctrl_open() reads hdev->id. This
can cause a NULL pointer dereference if the pointer is reloaded, or a
use-after-free if the old pointer is retained.
The kernel reported:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000068-0x000000000000006f]

The same missing serialization lets hci_send_to_sock() select a socket
for the old device and queue its frame after bind has detached the socket
or installed a new binding.
Take hci_sk_list.lock for writing when clearing the device pointer and
resetting the socket state. This waits for existing replay and delivery
readers to finish before detachment and prevents later readers from
using the old binding. Keep hci_dev_put() outside the critical section
because the final device release can sleep. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: Serialize concurrent connect calls
iso_sock_connect() checks the socket state before taking the socket lock
and drops the lock again before setting up a connection. Two callers can
both pass the admission check while the socket is open or bound.
Caller A can copy its destination for route selection, then caller B can
replace the socket destination before A binds or connects the CIS. A
then uses B's destination with the route selected for its own request.
B can also proceed after A attaches a connection and sets BT_CONNECT.
For deferred BIS setup, B can bind a second BIS and overwrite
iso_pi(sk)->conn, leaving the first connection's reference and conn->sk
back-pointer stranded. Concurrent CIS connects can likewise replace the
socket's connection. Later teardown only detaches the current connection,
so a callback on the old connection can race with socket release and
access a freed socket.

Check admission under the socket lock and mark the connect operation in
progress before publishing its destination. Keep that flag set across
route lookup and connection setup, rejecting another connect with
-EBADFD before it can change the destination or attach a connection.
Clear the flag after either helper returns, including on failure, so a
failed setup can be retried.
A separate flag is needed because the socket lock must be released before
acquiring the HCI device lock, while BT_CONNECT requires an attached
connection. Keep the existing state transitions and the deferred CIS
completion through iso_sock_recvmsg().
Reject an existing socket attachment in __iso_chan_add() before taking
a new reference or publishing either pointer, so every caller preserves
the connection association. Keep the same-socket, same-connection success
case for deferred CIS setup. Reject an attached socket before BIS setup
so a reusable BIS is not claimed before the attachment is rejected.
In CIS setup, reject a different HCI connection before iso_conn_add()
and drop the per-attempt HCI hold directly. An unowned iso_conn may still
carry another reference after detachment, so its destruction cannot be
relied on to release that hold.
iso_listen_bis() creates a fresh PA HCI/ISO pair under the device lock,
so the temporary iso_conn_put() frees the ISO candidate and drops its
HCI hold on rejection. iso_conn_ready() uses a freshly allocated,
unpublished child with no connection, making the socket-side rejection
unreachable. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: connect the session socket without rfcomm_mutex
An RFCOMM connect() issued while a BR/EDR link is being authenticated
makes lockdep report a circular dependency, and the reported cycle is a
real AB/BA between rfcomm_mutex and hdev->lock.
rfcomm_security_cfm() is called from the HCI event path, which already
holds hdev->lock:
hci_rx_work()
hci_event_packet()
hci_cc_read_enc_key_size() [hdev->lock]
hci_encrypt_cfm() [hci_cb_list_lock]
rfcomm_security_cfm() [rfcomm_mutex]
while an RFCOMM connect() from userspace takes the same two locks the
other way round:
rfcomm_sock_connect()
rfcomm_dlc_open() [rfcomm_mutex]
__rfcomm_dlc_open()
rfcomm_session_create()
kernel_connect()
l2cap_sock_connect()
l2cap_chan_connect() [hdev->lock]
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
kworker/u131:1/1128 is trying to acquire lock:
rfcomm_mutex, at: rfcomm_security_cfm+0x31/0x3e0 [rfcomm]
but task is already holding lock:
hci_cb_list_lock, at: hci_cc_read_enc_key_size+0x1d2/0xcc0
Chain exists of:
rfcomm_mutex --> &hdev->lock --> hci_cb_list_lock
hci_auth_complete_evt() and hci_encrypt_change_evt() reach the callback
the same way.
Both orders have to be seen in the same boot, which is why a BR/EDR
connection alone is not enough to show it: a session set up by the
remote side is created by rfcomm_accept_connection() in krfcommd, which
calls kernel_accept() and never takes hdev->lock under rfcomm_mutex.
Connecting a device that authenticates and encrypts the link and then
calling connect() on an RFCOMM socket towards any address - the connect
does not have to succeed, the order is recorded before the page timeout
- reports it every time.
Only the session socket has to be connected with the lock held, and it
does not: nothing else can see the socket before it is put on the
session list. So connect it first and take rfcomm_mutex afterwards,
which removes the rfcomm_mutex -> hdev->lock order for good, rather
than keeping the HCI event path out of rfcomm_mutex.
rfcomm_session_create() becomes rfcomm_session_connect(), which returns
the connected socket without touching the session list, and
rfcomm_dlc_open() adds the session once it holds the lock again. If
another opener added a session for the same pair while this socket was
connecting, that session is used and this socket is dropped.
__rfcomm_dlc_open() now takes the session it should use, and its state
check runs after the lock is re-acquired, so a DLC that was opened or
closed in the meantime is still handled.
Over an existing ACL link the connection can complete before the
session reaches the list, and the wakeup from the socket callback is
then lost, so krfcommd is woken once the session is visible.
Connecting without the lock opens a window in which the socket can be
closed. The DLC is not on a session yet, so rfcomm_dlc_close() finds
nothing to do and returns without touching it, and rfcomm_dlc_open()
would then attach a DLC whose owner is gone. rfcomm_dlc_close() now
marks such a DLC with RFCOMM_CLOSED, and rfcomm_dlc_open() checks the
mark once it holds rfcomm_mutex again and drops the socket instead of
attaching the DLC. The mark is cleared when an open starts, so a DLC
that is reused is not affected. This covers both callers of
rfcomm_dlc_open(), the socket and the tty layer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/gt: Unmask interrupts only when ACTIVE is true
There is a small race window between intel_rps_boost() reading
a stale ACTIVE state and queuing rps->work, where ACTIVE may be
changed via asynchronous calls triggered by wakeref drop.
This means that rps_work() could be triggered after the GT has
been parked, so unmasking RPS PM interrupts would happen without
holding PM wakelock. This sequence of events may be observed
during live_rc6_ctx_wa() selftest:
1) live_rc6_ctx_wa()
-> intel_engine_pm_put()
-> wakeref_put()
ASYNC1) wakeref_put() callback
-> __engine_park()
-> intel_gt_pm_put_async()
-> intel_gt_pm_put_async_untracked()
-> intel_wakeref_put_async()
ASYNC2) wakeref_put_async() callback
-> __gt_park()
-> intel_rps_park()
-> intel_rps_clear_active() [clear ACTIVE]
WITH INTERRUPTS:
-> rps_disable_interrupts()
-> cancel_work_sync(rps->work)
-> rps_reset_interrupts() [rps->pm_iir = 0]
WITHOUT INTERRUPTS (TIMER mode):
-> rps_stop_timer()
-> cancel_work_sync(rps->work)
2) live_rc6_ctx_wa()
-> intel_gt_wait_for_idle()
-> intel_gt_retire_requests_timeout()
-> dma_fence_wait_timeout()
-> ops->wait() [i915_fence_wait()]
-> i915_request_wait_timeout()
-> intel_rps_boost()
-> intel_rps_is_active() [check ACTIVE]
[OPEN RACE WINDOW]
-> queue_work(rps->work)
-> retire_requests()
-> i915_request_retire()
-> intel_rps_dec_waiters() [from 1 to 0]
If ASYNC1 and ASYNC2 would execute during [OPEN RACE WINDOW],
then:
3) rps_work() executes from the workqueue and may satisfy
"(!pm_iir && !client_boost)" test (in TIMER mode rps->pm_iir
is zeroed by an earlier rps_work() call or never gets a new
value after previous intel_rps_unpark() event), so it jumps
to "out" label, bypassing intel_rps_is_active() guard and
executes gen6_gt_pm_unmask_irq();
4) GT is parked and runtime PM wakelock is dropped, so only
a raw reference in __gt_park() ->
intel_display_power_put_async() remains for 100ms, then the
MMIO write in gen6_gt_pm_unmask_irq() detects missing
wakelock via assert_rpm_wakelock_held() and emits
"RPM wakelock ref not held during HW access" tainting kernel.
Commit 3e7abf814193 ("drm/i915: Extract GT render power state management")
dropped the "if (rps->interrupts_enabled)" guard that
gen6_pm_rps_work() had around this unmask in i915_irq.c.
INTEL_RPS_ACTIVE brackets the same window, since it is set in
intel_rps_unpark() before rps_enable_interrupts() and
rps_start_timer() and cleared in intel_rps_park() before
rps_stop_timer() and rps_disable_interrupts().
Skip unmasking when RPS is no longer active (reaching unmask
operation is independent of INTERRUPT mode). This does not
prevent RPS operation from resuming on the next unpark.
In interrupt mode, intel_rps_unpark() calls
rps_enable_interrupts(), which enables and unmasks the PM
interrupts. In timer mode, it calls rps_start_timer(),
restarting periodic engine-busyness evaluation. The timer
generates software RPS events and queues rps_work() directly,
independently of PM interrupt delivery. Neither mode requires
the late worker to unmask interrupts while the GT is parked

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dcache: don't put a mountpoint on a dentry that's being removed
rmdir(), unlink() and rename() call dont_mount() on the victim and then
detach_mounts() with the victim's inode locked. do_lock_mount() takes
the inode lock of the mountpoint and checks cant_mount() so a mount
can't show up after detach_mounts().
But attach_recursive_mnt() makes a second mountpoint for the root of the
source mount so that the mounts already located at the destination can
be put on top of it. No inode is locked for that one and d_set_mounted()
only refuses a dentry that is unlinked. Between detach_mounts() and
d_delete() the victim is still hashed:
rmrace: b passed dont_mount() and detach_mounts(), sleeping
T2: move_mount(S, /tmp/plcant/x, BENEATH) = 0 errno 0 ()
T1: rmdir(/tmp/plcant/d/b) = 0 errno 0
109 107 0:61 /d/b//deleted /tmp/plcant/x rw,relatime - tmpfs tmpfs rw
108 109 0:63 / /tmp/plcant/x rw,relatime - tmpfs T rw
A bind mount of the directory that's being removed is moved beneath an
existing mount while the rmdir() is located between the two calls. The
mount ends up on the removed directory and nothing will ever detach it.
Check cant_mount() in d_set_mounted() as well. dont_mount() raises the
flag under d_lock before detach_mounts() runs so either the mountpoint
is set first and detach_mounts() finds the mount or the flag is seen and
the mount is refused. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: unhash a dentry before detaching the mounts on it
unlink(), rmdir() and rename() remove the entry from the filesystem,
call detach_mounts() on the entry with the inode locked and then call
d_delete() once the inode is unlocked.
The thing is that between detach_mounts() and d_delete() the dentry is
still hashed and positive. But after detach_mounts() nothing covers the
dentry anymore. A lookup that finds this dentry in the dcache can
uncover what the mounts hid.
That's a problem when unlinking files or directories that are
mountpoints in other mount namespaces. Everybody who had the underlying
entry covered can race the detach_mount() call until d_delete() has run.
The race window isn't all that small. It encompasses namespace_unlock()
with a full synchronize_rcu_expedited() grace period and the
inode_unlock() of the entry.
In my experiments three walkers that kept trying read an overmounted
file in 11938 of the 16140 unlinks that removed its mountpoint from a
bind mount of the filesystem within a minute.
Fun fact, d_invalidate() has the same ordering problem but gets it
right. It unhashes the dentry first and detaches the mounts afterwards.
Let's do the same in __detach_mounts():
- A lookup that hasn't found the dentry yet misses it in the dcache and
waits for the directory lock that the caller holds until the name is
gone for good.
- A lockless lookup that found it already fails the mount_lock check
while the dentry still counts as a mountpoint and the d_seq check once
it doesn't, and retries.
This fixes the lockless path. We still need to fix the reference count
lookup in a follow-up patch.
So d_drop() the dentry. The dentry stays positive and held but can't be
found anymore. Then proceed with the detach and unlink.
Reproducer:
The reads were counted with the program below, three walkers for 60 s
in a VM with 4 CPUs. The race window is stretched with the debug patch
pasted here. fs.detach_race_walk_us sleeps in lookup_fast() once it
found a mountpoint dentry and before its mounts are crossed.
fs.detach_race_unlink_us sleeps in vfs_unlink() between detach_mounts()
and d_delete().

perf: Fix race between perf_event_exit_task() and perf_pending_task()
A race condition exists between perf_event_exit_task() and
perf_pending_task() during begin_new_exec().
During begin_new_exec(), perf_event_exit_task() may be called, and the
PF_EXITING flag is not set on task. So perf_sigtrap() continues to execute

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: dummy-hcd: Fix wait for outstanding request completions
The dummy-hcd driver emulates synchronize_irq() by waiting until its
private callback_usage counter drops to 0 (with the private lock not
held). This counter is incremented whenever a gadget driver callback
occurs (which requires the private lock to be dropped), but not when a
request completion handler is called.
This is an oversight. Request completion is triggered by timer
interrupts (emulating device IRQs in a real UDC), and the interrupt
handlers are supposed to have completed when the synchronize_irq()
emulation routine returns -- they aren't supposed to be in the middle
of a completion callback. If this happens it can lead to a gadget
driver's unbind routine running before all outstanding request
completions have finished, maybe even allowing the gadget driver's
module to be unloaded while a completion handler is still running.
Fix the oversight by incrementing the callback_usage value across
request completion callbacks. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: tty_port: restore TTY_IO_ERROR on activation failure
Make sure to restore the TTY_IO_ERROR flag if activation fails to
prevent I/O attempts on a port that is gone or powered down.
This specifically avoids issues like kernel panic due to unclocked
accesses or NULL-pointer dereferences when accessing powered down or
deregistered ports when a TTY ioctl races with hangup and open.
Note that the flag is set again in tty_port_close() but not restoring it
on activation failure leaves a window where drivers fail to handle the
ioctl-hangup race. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: port: fix tty_port_tty_vhangup() race
Drivers rely on tty_port_tty_vhangup() to synchronously hang up their
ports before tearing down resources as part of deregistration (e.g. on
physical disconnect).
If tty_port_tty_vhangup() races with another hangup it may however
return before the port has been shut down. This is in turn can lead to
use-after-free and NULL-pointer dereferences in racing ioctls (including
a synchronous hangup) and in processing of racing asynchronous hangups
(carrier loss).
Add the missing serialisation to tty_port_tty_vhangup() and
tty_port_hangup() so that the former does not return until the port has
been shut down also when there is a racing hangup.
Note that serial core does not use tty_port_hangup(), but it already
holds the port mutex when clearing port->tty and shutting down the port
in uart_hangup(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: abort break signalling on hangup
The break ioctls can race with hangup and end up calling into a tty
driver for a device that is already gone or powered down.
Drivers must handle this race, but TCSBRK and TCSBRKP should still be
aborted to avoid calling back into the driver after a user-controlled
timeout (possibly even after the tty has been reopened).
Note that drivers should disable any break state on shutdown so just
return on hangup (calling break_ctl() again is racy and will most likely
fail for drivers handling the race). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: fix saved termios reset race
Resetting saved termios state on device registration is needed where a
minor number can be reused for an entirely different device and where
the old settings may prevent the port from even being opened (e.g. when
CLOCAL is not set).
Not all TTY drivers guarantee that the minor number is no longer in use
when registering devices however, something which can lead to a
use-after-free when closing a TTY (and saving its termios) races with
re-registration.
Add a new TTY_DRIVER_RESET_SAVED_TERMIOS flag to request that any saved
termios state is reset on registration and only set it for drivers that
make sure that the minor number is no longer in use. |

Reject a zero erase size before performing the modulo operation so the
existing "erasesize must be a divisor of device size" error path
reports the invalid argument and frees the device. |

wifi: mac80211: drain PS delivery work during station teardown
Removing an AP or mesh station can notify the driver and wake TXQs after
the station has already been removed from the driver, and can update
num_sta_ps and the power-save queues after station cleanup has purged
them.
sta_deliver_ps_frames() tests sta->dead only before it starts delivery. A
worker that passes that test can be delayed while teardown sets sta->dead
and removes the station from the driver; when it resumes it still runs the
full delivery.
The existing cancel_work_sync() sits near the end of
__cleanup_single_sta(), after the final driver state transition and after
PS accounting and queue purging, so it drains the worker only once the
state it has to protect has already changed. Before commit d34ba2168a3c
("mac80211: don't delay station destruction") cleanup was deferred
through the same ordered workqueue as the delivery work, which kept the
two ordered.
Cancel the work after setting sta->dead and before moving the driver
state, and move the existing cancellation to the start of
__cleanup_single_sta(). The first drain closes the driver-lifetime window;
driver callbacks during the remaining state transitions can still queue
drv_deliver_wk through ieee80211_sta_block_awake(), so retain the second
drain at the start of __cleanup_single_sta(). That drain also covers
insertion failures, which reach cleanup without setting sta->dead. |

smb: client: split cifsFileInfo bitfields to avoid shared-byte RMW races
The invalidHandle, swapfile, oplock_break_cancelled, offload,
and status_file_deleted fields are stored in the same bitfield byte
in struct cifsFileInfo, but are updated in different code paths that
may run simultaneously, and are protected by different locks. Since
bitfield assignments generate byte-level read-modify-write operations,
a modification to one flag can overwrite a concurrent modification to
another flag.
To avoid these races, convert these flags from a bitfield to
separate bool fields. |
