In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: drop redundant sched job cleanup when cs is aborted Once command submission failed due to userptr invalidation in amdgpu_cs_submit, legacy code will perform cleanup of scheduler job. However, it's not needed at all, as former commit has integrated job cleanup stuff into amdgpu_job_free. Otherwise, because of double free, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in such scenario. Bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2457

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: fdp: add null check of devm_kmalloc_array in fdp_nci_i2c_read_device_properties devm_kmalloc_array may fails, *fw_vsc_cfg might be null and cause out-of-bounds write in device_property_read_u8_array later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: ibmvfc: Remove BUG_ON in the case of an empty event pool In practice the driver should never send more commands than are allocated to a queue's event pool. In the unlikely event that this happens, the code asserts a BUG_ON, and in the case that the kernel is not configured to crash on panic returns a junk event pointer from the empty event list causing things to spiral from there. This BUG_ON is a historical artifact of the ibmvfc driver first being upstreamed, and it is well known now that the use of BUG_ON is bad practice except in the most unrecoverable scenario. There is nothing about this scenario that prevents the driver from recovering and carrying on. Remove the BUG_ON in question from ibmvfc_get_event() and return a NULL pointer in the case of an empty event pool. Update all call sites to ibmvfc_get_event() to check for a NULL pointer and perfrom the appropriate failure or recovery action.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: hda: Fix possible null-ptr-deref when assigning a stream While AudioDSP drivers assign streams exclusively of HOST or LINK type, nothing blocks a user to attempt to assign a COUPLED stream. As supplied substream instance may be a stub, what is the case when code-loading, such scenario ends with null-ptr-deref.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: ucsi_acpi: Increase the command completion timeout Commit 130a96d698d7 ("usb: typec: ucsi: acpi: Increase command completion timeout value") increased the timeout from 5 seconds to 60 seconds due to issues related to alternate mode discovery. After the alternate mode discovery switch to polled mode the timeout was reduced, but instead of being set back to 5 seconds it was reduced to 1 second. This is causing problems when using a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 yoga gen7 connected over Type-C to a LG 27UL850-W (charging DP over Type-C). When the monitor is already connected at boot the following error is logged: "PPM init failed (-110)", /sys/class/typec is empty and on unplugging the NULL pointer deref fixed earlier in this series happens. When the monitor is connected after boot the following error is logged instead: "GET_CONNECTOR_STATUS failed (-110)". Setting the timeout back to 5 seconds fixes both cases.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: processor: Update cpuidle driver check in __acpi_processor_start() Commit 7a8c994cbb2d ("ACPI: processor: idle: Optimize ACPI idle driver registration") moved the ACPI idle driver registration to acpi_processor_driver_init() and acpi_processor_power_init() does not register an idle driver any more. Accordingly, the cpuidle driver check in __acpi_processor_start() needs to be updated to avoid calling acpi_processor_power_init() without a cpuidle driver, in which case the registration of the cpuidle device in that function would lead to a NULL pointer dereference in __cpuidle_register_device().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbcon: check return value of con2fb_acquire_newinfo() If fbcon_open() fails when called from con2fb_acquire_newinfo() then info->fbcon_par pointer remains NULL which is later dereferenced. Add check for return value of the function con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to avoid it. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: pci: cx23885: check cx23885_vdev_init() return cx23885_vdev_init() can return a NULL pointer, but that pointer is used in the next line without a check. Add a NULL pointer check and go to the error unwind if it is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: Fix NULL pointer dereference If there's a mismatch between the DAI links in the machine driver and the topology, it is possible that the playback/capture widget is not set, especially in the case of loopback capture for echo reference where we use the dummy DAI link. Return the error when the widget is not set to avoid a null pointer dereference like below when the topology is broken. RIP: 0010:hda_dai_get_ops.isra.0+0x14/0xa0 [snd_sof_intel_hda_common]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: nxp: imx8-isi: Check whether crossbar pad is non-NULL before access When translating source to sink streams in the crossbar subdev, the driver tries to locate the remote subdev connected to the sink pad. The remote pad may be NULL, if userspace tries to enable a stream that ends at an unconnected crossbar sink. When that occurs, the driver dereferences the NULL pad, leading to a crash. Prevent the crash by checking if the pad is NULL before using it, and return an error if it is.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wangxun: fix kernel panic due to null pointer When the device uses a custom subsystem vendor ID, the function wx_sw_init() returns before the memory of 'wx->mac_table' is allocated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc2: fix possible NULL pointer dereference caused by driver concurrency In _dwc2_hcd_urb_enqueue(), "urb->hcpriv = NULL" is executed without holding the lock "hsotg->lock". In _dwc2_hcd_urb_dequeue(): spin_lock_irqsave(&hsotg->lock, flags); ... if (!urb->hcpriv) { dev_dbg(hsotg->dev, "## urb->hcpriv is NULL ##\n"); goto out; } rc = dwc2_hcd_urb_dequeue(hsotg, urb->hcpriv); // Use urb->hcpriv ... out: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hsotg->lock, flags); When _dwc2_hcd_urb_enqueue() and _dwc2_hcd_urb_dequeue() are concurrently executed, the NULL check of "urb->hcpriv" can be executed before "urb->hcpriv = NULL". After urb->hcpriv is NULL, it can be used in the function call to dwc2_hcd_urb_dequeue(), which can cause a NULL pointer dereference. This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool developed by myself. This tool analyzes the locking APIs to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then analyzes the instructions in the paired functions to identify possible concurrency bugs including data races and atomicity violations. The above possible bug is reported, when my tool analyzes the source code of Linux 6.5. To fix this possible bug, "urb->hcpriv = NULL" should be executed with holding the lock "hsotg->lock". After using this patch, my tool never reports the possible bug, with the kernelconfiguration allyesconfig for x86_64. Because I have no associated hardware, I cannot test the patch in runtime testing, and just verify it according to the code logic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Avoid NULL dereference of timing generator [Why & How] Check whether assigned timing generator is NULL or not before accessing its funcs to prevent NULL dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/dasd: protect device queue against concurrent access In dasd_profile_start() the amount of requests on the device queue are counted. The access to the device queue is unprotected against concurrent access. With a lot of parallel I/O, especially with alias devices enabled, the device queue can change while dasd_profile_start() is accessing the queue. In the worst case this leads to a kernel panic due to incorrect pointer accesses. Fix this by taking the device lock before accessing the queue and counting the requests. Additionally the check for a valid profile data pointer can be done earlier to avoid unnecessary locking in a hot path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: mediatek: clk-mt7629-eth: Add check for mtk_alloc_clk_data Add the check for the return value of mtk_alloc_clk_data() in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: check send stream number after wait_for_sndbuf This patch fixes a corner case where the asoc out stream count may change after wait_for_sndbuf. When the main thread in the client starts a connection, if its out stream count is set to N while the in stream count in the server is set to N - 2, another thread in the client keeps sending the msgs with stream number N - 1, and waits for sndbuf before processing INIT_ACK. However, after processing INIT_ACK, the out stream count in the client is shrunk to N - 2, the same to the in stream count in the server. The crash occurs when the thread waiting for sndbuf is awake and sends the msg in a non-existing stream(N - 1), the call trace is as below: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f] Call Trace: <TASK> sctp_cmd_send_msg net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c:1114 [inline] sctp_cmd_interpreter net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c:1777 [inline] sctp_side_effects net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c:1199 [inline] sctp_do_sm+0x197d/0x5310 net/sctp/sm_sideeffect.c:1170 sctp_primitive_SEND+0x9f/0xc0 net/sctp/primitive.c:163 sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc+0x10eb/0x1a30 net/sctp/socket.c:1868 sctp_sendmsg+0x8d4/0x1d90 net/sctp/socket.c:2026 inet_sendmsg+0x9d/0xe0 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:825 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:722 [inline] sock_sendmsg+0xde/0x190 net/socket.c:745 The fix is to add an unlikely check for the send stream number after the thread wakes up from the wait_for_sndbuf.

In the work required for mob cursors the mapped surfaces started being cached but the variable indicating whether the surface is currently mapped was not being reset. This leads to crashes as the duplicated state, incorrectly, indicates the that surface is mapped even when no surface is present. That's because after unreferencing the surface it's perfectly possible for the plane to be backed by a bo instead of a surface. Reset the surface mapped flag when unreferencing the plane state surface to fix null derefs in cleanup.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: mmc_spi: fix error handling in mmc_spi_probe() If mmc_add_host() fails, it doesn't need to call mmc_remove_host(), or it will cause null-ptr-deref, because of deleting a not added device in mmc_remove_host(). To fix this, goto label 'fail_glue_init', if mmc_add_host() fails, and change the label 'fail_add_host' to 'fail_gpiod_request'.

This is ultimately due to the region(s), that this memdev is a member, being torn down and expecting to be able to de-reference @cxlds, like here: static int cxl_region_decode_reset(struct cxl_region *cxlr, int count) ... if (cxlds->rcd) goto endpoint_reset; ... Fix it by keeping the driver context valid until memdev-device unregistration, and subsequently the entire stack of related dependencies, unwinds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wfx: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in wfx_set_mfp_ap() Since 'ieee80211_beacon_get()' can return NULL, 'wfx_set_mfp_ap()' should check the return value before examining skb data. So convert the latter to return an appropriate error code and propagate it to return from 'wfx_start_ap()' as well. Compile tested only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix NULL pointer issue buffer funcs If SDMA block not enabled, buffer_funcs will not initialize, fix the null pointer issue if buffer_funcs not initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/buffer: add alert in try_to_free_buffers() for folios without buffers try_to_free_buffers() can be called on folios with no buffers attached when filemap_release_folio() is invoked on a folio belonging to a mapping with AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS set but no release_folio operation defined. In such cases, folio_needs_release() returns true because of the AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag, but the folio has no private buffer data. This causes try_to_free_buffers() to call drop_buffers() on a folio with no buffers, leading to a null pointer dereference. Adding a check in try_to_free_buffers() to return early if the folio has no buffers attached, with WARN_ON_ONCE() to alert about the misconfiguration. This provides defensive hardening.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols, syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to do so. Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for histograms and caused a bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Lag, fix failure to cancel delayed bond work Commit 0d4e8ed139d8 ("net/mlx5: Lag, avoid lockdep warnings") accidentally removed a call to cancel delayed bond work thus it may cause queued delay to expire and fall on an already destroyed work queue. Fix by restoring the call cancel_delayed_work_sync() before destroying the workqueue. This prevents call trace such as this: [ 329.230417] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [ 329.231444] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 329.232233] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [ 329.233007] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 329.233476] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP [ 329.234012] CPU: 5 PID: 145 Comm: kworker/u20:4 Tainted: G OE 6.0.0-rc5_mlnx #1 [ 329.235282] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 329.236868] Workqueue: mlx5_cmd_0000:08:00.1 cmd_work_handler [mlx5_core] [ 329.237886] RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock+0xc/0x20 [ 329.238585] Code: f0 0f b1 17 75 02 f3 c3 89 c6 e9 6f 3c 5f ff 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 40 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 31 c0 ba 01 00 00 00 <f0> 0f b1 17 75 02 f3 c3 89 c6 e9 45 3c 5f ff 0f 1f 44 00 00 0f 1f [ 329.241156] RSP: 0018:ffffc900001b0e98 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 329.241940] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffffff82374ae0 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 329.242954] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000014 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 329.243974] RBP: ffff888106ccf000 R08: ffff8881004000c8 R09: ffff888100400000 [ 329.244990] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff826669f8 R12: 0000000000002000 [ 329.246009] R13: 0000000000000005 R14: ffff888100aa7ce0 R15: ffff88852ca80000 [ 329.247030] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88852ca80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 329.248260] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 329.249111] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 000000016d675001 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 [ 329.250133] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 329.251152] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 329.252176] PKRU: 55555554

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: mockup: fix NULL pointer dereference when removing debugfs We now remove the device's debugfs entries when unbinding the driver. This now causes a NULL-pointer dereference on module exit because the platform devices are unregistered *after* the global debugfs directory has been recursively removed. Fix it by unregistering the devices first.
