In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: staging: media: zoran: calculate the right buffer number for zoran_reap_stat_com On the case tmp_dcim=1, the index of buffer is miscalculated. This generate a NULL pointer dereference later. So let's fix the calcul and add a check to prevent this to reappear.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: video: fbdev: smscufx: Fix null-ptr-deref in ufx_usb_probe() I got a null-ptr-deref report: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 ... RIP: 0010:fb_destroy_modelist+0x38/0x100 ...

But modelist has not been initialized yet, so it will result in null-ptr-deref. Initialize modelist before calling fb_alloc_cmap() to fix this bug.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A null pointer dereference in bond_ipsec_add_sa() may lead to local denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hso: fix NULL-deref on disconnect regression Commit 8a12f8836145 ("net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration") fixed the racy minor allocation reported by syzbot, but introduced an unconditional NULL-pointer dereference on every disconnect instead. Specifically, the serial device table must no longer be accessed after the minor has been released by hso_serial_tty_unregister().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jfs: fix GPF in diFree Avoid passing inode with JFS_SBI(inode->i_sb)->ipimap == NULL to diFree()[1]. GFP will appear: struct inode *ipimap = JFS_SBI(ip->i_sb)->ipimap; struct inomap *imap = JFS_IP(ipimap)->i_imap; JFS_IP() will return invalid pointer when ipimap == NULL Call Trace: diFree+0x13d/0x2dc0 fs/jfs/jfs_imap.c:853 [1] jfs_evict_inode+0x2c9/0x370 fs/jfs/inode.c:154 evict+0x2ed/0x750 fs/inode.c:578 iput_final fs/inode.c:1654 [inline] iput.part.0+0x3fe/0x820 fs/inode.c:1680 iput+0x58/0x70 fs/inode.c:1670

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/qeth: fix NULL deref in qeth_clear_working_pool_list() When qeth_set_online() calls qeth_clear_working_pool_list() to roll back after an error exit from qeth_hardsetup_card(), we are at risk of accessing card->qdio.in_q before it was allocated by qeth_alloc_qdio_queues() via qeth_mpc_initialize(). qeth_clear_working_pool_list() then dereferences NULL, and by writing to queue->bufs[i].pool_entry scribbles all over the CPU's lowcore. Resulting in a crash when those lowcore areas are used next (eg. on the next machine-check interrupt). Such a scenario would typically happen when the device is first set online and its queues aren't allocated yet. An early IO error or certain misconfigs (eg. mismatched transport mode, bad portno) then cause us to error out from qeth_hardsetup_card() with card->qdio.in_q still being NULL. Fix it by checking the pointer for NULL before accessing it. Note that we also have (rare) paths inside qeth_mpc_initialize() where a configuration change can cause us to free the existing queues, expecting that subsequent code will allocate them again. If we then error out before that re-allocation happens, the same bug occurs. Root-caused-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com>

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: check skb is non-NULL in tcp_rto_delta_us() We have some machines running stock Ubuntu 20.04.6 which is their 5.4.0-174-generic kernel that are running ceph and recently hit a null ptr dereference in tcp_rearm_rto(). Initially hitting it from the TLP path, but then later we also saw it getting hit from the RACK case as well.

Assumed that the connection has been registered in a link group by smc_conn_create() but the rmb_desc has not yet been initialized by smc_buf_create(), thus causing the illegal access to conn->rmb_desc. So fix it by checking before dump.

We go into btrfs_get_tree_subvol(), but fc_mount() returns EBUSY because our new fc is RW, different from the original fs. Now we enter btrfs_reconfigure_for_mount(), which switches the RO flag first so that we can grab the existing fs_info. Then we reconfigure the fs to RW. - During reconfiguration, option/features check is skipped This means we will restart the v2 cache clearing, and convert back to v1 cache. This will trigger fs writes, and since the original fs has "rescue=all" option, it skips the csum tree read. And eventually causing NULL pointer dereference in super block writeback. [FIX] For reconfiguration caused by different subvolume RO/RW flags, ensure we always run btrfs_check_options() to ensure we have proper hard RO requirements met. In fact the function btrfs_check_options() doesn't really do many complex checks, but hard RO requirement and some feature dependency checks, thus there is no special reason not to do the check for mount reconfiguration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: enetc: allocate vf_state during PF probes In the previous implementation, vf_state is allocated memory only when VF is enabled. However, net_device_ops::ndo_set_vf_mac() may be called before VF is enabled to configure the MAC address of VF. If this is the case, enetc_pf_set_vf_mac() will access vf_state, resulting in access to a null pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Fix command bitmask initialization Command bitmask have a dedicated bit for MANAGE_PAGES command, this bit isn't Initialize during command bitmask Initialization, only during MANAGE_PAGES. In addition, mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() is trying to trigger completion for MANAGE_PAGES command as well. Hence, in case health error occurred before any MANAGE_PAGES command have been invoke (for example, during mlx5_enable_hca()), mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() will try to trigger completion for MANAGE_PAGES command, which will result in null-ptr-deref error.[1] Fix it by Initialize command bitmask correctly. While at it, re-write the code for better understanding.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: Avoid NULL dereference in msm_disp_state_print_regs() If the allocation in msm_disp_state_dump_regs() failed then `block->state` can be NULL. The msm_disp_state_print_regs() function _does_ have code to try to handle it with: if (*reg) dump_addr = *reg; ...but since "dump_addr" is initialized to NULL the above is actually a noop. The code then goes on to dereference `dump_addr`. Make the function print "Registers not stored" when it sees a NULL to solve this. Since we're touching the code, fix msm_disp_state_print_regs() not to pointlessly take a double-pointer and properly mark the pointer as `const`. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/619657/

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: spi-zynq-qspi: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in zynq_qspi_exec_mem_op() In zynq_qspi_exec_mem_op(), kzalloc() is directly used in memset(), which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of kzalloc(). Fix this bug by adding a check of tmpbuf. This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs. Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug. Builds with CONFIG_SPI_ZYNQ_QSPI=m show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

In the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, drivers/bluetooth/hci_qca.c misinterprets the devm_gpiod_get_index_optional return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer).

In the Linux kernel before 5.15.13, drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/steering/dr_domain.c misinterprets the mlx5_get_uars_page return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer).

In the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs-mediatek.c misinterprets the regulator_get return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer).

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel ipv4 stack. The socket buffer (skb) was assumed to be associated with a device before calling __ip_options_compile, which is not always the case if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to crash the system.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: stm32: check devm_kasprintf() returned value devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure but this returned value is not checked. Fix this lack and check the returned value. Found by code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KEYS: trusted: dcp: fix NULL dereference in AEAD crypto operation When sealing or unsealing a key blob we currently do not wait for the AEAD cipher operation to finish and simply return after submitting the request. If there is some load on the system we can exit before the cipher operation is done and the buffer we read from/write to is already removed from the stack. This will e.g. result in NULL pointer dereference errors in the DCP driver during blob creation. Fix this by waiting for the AEAD cipher operation to finish before resuming the seal and unseal calls.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: null_blk: fix validation of block size Block size should be between 512 and PAGE_SIZE and be a power of 2. The current check does not validate this, so update the check. Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when loaded with bs=1536 [1]. [axboe: remove unnecessary braces and != 0 check]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix error propagation of split bios The purpose of btrfs_bbio_propagate_error() shall be propagating an error of split bio to its original btrfs_bio, and tell the error to the upper layer. However, it's not working well on some cases. * Case 1. Immediate (or quick) end_bio with an error When btrfs sends btrfs_bio to mirrored devices, btrfs calls btrfs_bio_end_io() when all the mirroring bios are completed. If that btrfs_bio was split, it is from btrfs_clone_bioset and its end_io function is btrfs_orig_write_end_io. For this case, btrfs_bbio_propagate_error() accesses the orig_bbio's bio context to increase the error count. That works well in most cases. However, if the end_io is called enough fast, orig_bbio's (remaining part after split) bio context may not be properly set at that time. Since the bio context is set when the orig_bbio (the last btrfs_bio) is sent to devices, that might be too late for earlier split btrfs_bio's completion. That will result in NULL pointer dereference. That bug is easily reproducible by running btrfs/146 on zoned devices [1] and it shows the following trace. [1] You need raid-stripe-tree feature as it create "-d raid0 -m raid1" FS.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: discard write access to the directory open may_open() does not allow a directory to be opened with the write access. However, some writing flags set by client result in adding write access on server, making ksmbd incompatible with FUSE file system. Simply, let's discard the write access when opening a directory. list_add corruption. next is NULL. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:26! pc : __list_add_valid+0x88/0xbc lr : __list_add_valid+0x88/0xbc Call trace: __list_add_valid+0x88/0xbc fuse_finish_open+0x11c/0x170 fuse_open_common+0x284/0x5e8 fuse_dir_open+0x14/0x24 do_dentry_open+0x2a4/0x4e0 dentry_open+0x50/0x80 smb2_open+0xbe4/0x15a4 handle_ksmbd_work+0x478/0x5ec process_one_work+0x1b4/0x448 worker_thread+0x25c/0x430 kthread+0x104/0x1d4 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dpu: Add callback function pointer check before its call In dpu_core_irq_callback_handler() callback function pointer is compared to NULL, but then callback function is unconditionally called by this pointer. Fix this bug by adding conditional return. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/588237/

In the AppleTalk subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.1, there is a potential NULL pointer dereference because register_snap_client may return NULL. This will lead to denial of service in net/appletalk/aarp.c and net/appletalk/ddp.c, as demonstrated by unregister_snap_client, aka CID-9804501fa122.

In the Linux kernel before 5.0.6, there is a NULL pointer dereference in drop_sysctl_table() in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c, related to put_links, aka CID-23da9588037e.

In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error, nft_trans_destroy is called to free the transaction object. nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never placed on a list -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in a NULL pointer dereference.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth implementation of UART, all versions kernel 3.x.x before 4.18.0 and kernel 5.x.x. An attacker with local access and write permissions to the Bluetooth hardware could use this flaw to issue a specially crafted ioctl function call and cause the system to crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: apple: check devm_kasprintf() returned value devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure but this returned value is not checked. Fix this lack and check the returned value. Found by code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: don't allow journal inode to have encrypt flag Mounting a filesystem whose journal inode has the encrypt flag causes a NULL dereference in fscrypt_limit_io_blocks() when the 'inlinecrypt' mount option is used. The problem is that when jbd2_journal_init_inode() calls bmap(), it eventually finds its way into ext4_iomap_begin(), which calls fscrypt_limit_io_blocks(). fscrypt_limit_io_blocks() requires that if the inode is encrypted, then its encryption key must already be set up. That's not the case here, since the journal inode is never "opened" like a normal file would be. Hence the crash. A reproducer is: mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb debugfs -w /dev/vdb -R "set_inode_field <8> flags 0x80808" mount /dev/vdb /mnt -o inlinecrypt To fix this, make ext4 consider journal inodes with the encrypt flag to be invalid. (Note, maybe other flags should be rejected on the journal inode too. For now, this is just the minimal fix for the above issue.) I've marked this as fixing the commit that introduced the call to fscrypt_limit_io_blocks(), since that's what made an actual crash start being possible. But this fix could be applied to any version of ext4 that supports the encrypt feature.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/tunnel: wait until all sk_user_data reader finish before releasing the sock There is a race condition in vxlan that when deleting a vxlan device during receiving packets, there is a possibility that the sock is released after getting vxlan_sock vs from sk_user_data. Then in later vxlan_ecn_decapsulate(), vxlan_get_sk_family() we will got NULL pointer dereference. e.g. #0 [ffffa25ec6978a38] machine_kexec at ffffffff8c669757 #1 [ffffa25ec6978a90] __crash_kexec at ffffffff8c7c0a4d #2 [ffffa25ec6978b58] crash_kexec at ffffffff8c7c1c48 #3 [ffffa25ec6978b60] oops_end at ffffffff8c627f2b #4 [ffffa25ec6978b80] page_fault_oops at ffffffff8c678fcb #5 [ffffa25ec6978bd8] exc_page_fault at ffffffff8d109542 #6 [ffffa25ec6978c00] asm_exc_page_fault at ffffffff8d200b62 [exception RIP: vxlan_ecn_decapsulate+0x3b] RIP: ffffffffc1014e7b RSP: ffffa25ec6978cb0 RFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000008 RBX: ffff8aa000888000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000000e RSI: ffff8a9fc7ab803e RDI: ffff8a9fd1168700 RBP: ffff8a9fc7ab803e R8: 0000000000700000 R9: 00000000000010ae R10: ffff8a9fcb748980 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff8a9fd1168700 R13: ffff8aa000888000 R14: 00000000002a0000 R15: 00000000000010ae ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 #7 [ffffa25ec6978ce8] vxlan_rcv at ffffffffc10189cd [vxlan] #8 [ffffa25ec6978d90] udp_queue_rcv_one_skb at ffffffff8cfb6507 #9 [ffffa25ec6978dc0] udp_unicast_rcv_skb at ffffffff8cfb6e45 #10 [ffffa25ec6978dc8] __udp4_lib_rcv at ffffffff8cfb8807 #11 [ffffa25ec6978e20] ip_protocol_deliver_rcu at ffffffff8cf76951 #12 [ffffa25ec6978e48] ip_local_deliver at ffffffff8cf76bde #13 [ffffa25ec6978ea0] __netif_receive_skb_one_core at ffffffff8cecde9b #14 [ffffa25ec6978ec8] process_backlog at ffffffff8cece139 #15 [ffffa25ec6978f00] __napi_poll at ffffffff8ceced1a #16 [ffffa25ec6978f28] net_rx_action at ffffffff8cecf1f3 #17 [ffffa25ec6978fa0] __softirqentry_text_start at ffffffff8d4000ca #18 [ffffa25ec6978ff0] do_softirq at ffffffff8c6fbdc3 Reproducer: https://github.com/Mellanox/ovs-tests/blob/master/test-ovs-vxlan-remove-tunnel-during-traffic.sh Fix this by waiting for all sk_user_data reader to finish before releasing the sock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: Validate BOOT record_size When the NTFS BOOT record_size field < 0, it represents a shift value. However, there is no sanity check on the shift result and the sbi->record_bits calculation through blksize_bits() assumes the size always > 256, which could lead to NPD while mounting a malformed NTFS image.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-mq: fix null pointer dereference in blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping() Our syzkaller report a null pointer dereference, root cause is following: __blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs set->tags[hctx_idx] = blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs blk_mq_alloc_rqs // failed due to oom alloc_pages_node // set->tags[hctx_idx] is still NULL blk_mq_free_rqs drv_tags = set->tags[hctx_idx]; // null pointer dereference is triggered blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping(drv_tags, ...) This is because commit 63064be150e4 ("blk-mq: Add blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs()") merged the two steps: 1) set->tags[hctx_idx] = blk_mq_alloc_rq_map() 2) blk_mq_alloc_rqs(..., set->tags[hctx_idx]) into one step: set->tags[hctx_idx] = blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs() Since tags is not initialized yet in this case, fix the problem by checking if tags is NULL pointer in blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: rtsx_pci: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path. So fix this by checking the return value and calling mmc_free_host() in the error path, beside, runtime PM also needs be disabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: fix null pointer dereferencing in power_supply_get_battery_info when kmalloc() fail to allocate memory in kasprintf(), propname will be NULL, strcmp() called by of_get_property() will cause null pointer dereference. So return ENOMEM if kasprintf() return NULL pointer.

To ensure the lsock is not released during the tipc_topsrv_accept(), move sock_release() after tipc_topsrv_work_stop() where it's waiting until the tipc_topsrv_accept worker to be done. Note that sk_callback_lock is used to protect sk->sk_user_data instead of srv->listener, and it should check srv in tipc_topsrv_listener_data_ready() instead. This also ensures that no more tipc_topsrv_accept worker will be started after tipc_conn_close() is called in tipc_topsrv_stop() where it sets sk->sk_user_data to null.

I think this patch can fix other dlm users as well, depending how they handle the init, freeing memory handling of sb_lvbptr and don't set DLM_LKF_VALBLK for some dlm_lock() calls. It might a there could be a hidden issue all the time. However with checking on DLM_LKF_VALBLK the user always need to provide a sb_lvbptr non-null value. There might be more intelligent handling between per ls lvblen, DLM_LKF_VALBLK and non-null to report the user the way how DLM API is used is wrong but can be added for later, this will only fix the current behaviour.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl: fix possible null-ptr-deref in cxl_pci_init_afu|adapter() If device_register() fails in cxl_pci_afu|adapter(), the device is not added, device_unregister() can not be called in the error path, otherwise it will cause a null-ptr-deref because of removing not added device. As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So split device_unregister() into device_del() and put_device(), then goes to put dev when register fails.

We don't have a NULL check on file_ptr in io_msg_send_fd() function, so when file_ptr is NUL src_file is also NULL and get_file() dereferences a NULL pointer and leads to above crash. Add a NULL check to fix this issue.
