| CVE-2023-54004 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udplite: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __sk_mem_raise_allocated(). syzbot reported [0] a null-ptr-deref in sk_get_rmem0() while using IPPROTO_UDPLITE (0x88): 14:25:52 executing program 1: r0 = socket$inet6(0xa, 0x80002, 0x88) We had a similar report [1] for probably sk_memory_allocated_add() in __sk_mem_raise_allocated(), and commit c915fe13cbaa ("udplite: fix NULL pointer dereference") fixed it by setting .memory_allocated for udplite_prot and udplitev6_prot. To fix the variant, we need to set either .sysctl_wmem_offset or .sysctl_rmem. Now UDP and UDPLITE share the same value for .memory_allocated, so we use the same .sysctl_wmem_offset for UDP and UDPLITE.

| CVE-2025-68351 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | N/A |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: exfat: fix refcount leak in exfat_find Fix refcount leaks in `exfat_find` related to `exfat_get_dentry_set`. Function `exfat_get_dentry_set` would increase the reference counter of `es->bh` on success. Therefore, `exfat_put_dentry_set` must be called after `exfat_get_dentry_set` to ensure refcount consistency. This patch relocate two checks to avoid possible leaks. | ||||
| CVE-2023-53987 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ping: Fix potentail NULL deref for /proc/net/icmp. After commit dbca1596bbb0 ("ping: convert to RCU lookups, get rid of rwlock"), we use RCU for ping sockets, but we should use spinlock for /proc/net/icmp to avoid a potential NULL deref mentioned in the previous patch. Let's go back to using spinlock there. Note we can convert ping sockets to use hlist instead of hlist_nulls because we do not use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for ping sockets. | ||||

It was found that within a critical section of spin_lock_irqsave in sidtab_context_to_sid(), convert_context() (hooked by sidtab_convert_params.func) might cause the process to sleep via allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL, which is problematic. As Ondrej pointed out [1], convert_context()/sidtab_convert_params.func has another caller sidtab_convert_tree(), which is okay with GFP_KERNEL. Therefore, fix this problem by adding a gfp_t argument for convert_context()/sidtab_convert_params.func and pass GFP_KERNEL/_ATOMIC properly in individual callers.

| CVE-2025-68347 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: firewire-motu: fix buffer overflow in hwdep read for DSP events The DSP event handling code in hwdep_read() could write more bytes to the user buffer than requested, when a user provides a buffer smaller than the event header size (8 bytes). Fix by using min_t() to clamp the copy size, This ensures we never copy more than the user requested. | ||||
| CVE-2025-68348 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: fix memory leak in __blkdev_issue_zero_pages Move the fatal signal check before bio_alloc() to prevent a memory leak when BLKDEV_ZERO_KILLABLE is set and a fatal signal is pending. Previously, the bio was allocated before checking for a fatal signal. If a signal was pending, the code would break out of the loop without freeing or chaining the just-allocated bio, causing a memory leak. This matches the pattern already used in __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes() where the signal check precedes the allocation. | ||||
| CVE-2022-50711 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | N/A |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix possible memory leak in mtk_probe() If mtk_wed_add_hw() has been called, mtk_wed_exit() needs be called in error path or removing module to free the memory allocated in mtk_wed_add_hw(). | ||||
| CVE-2023-54031 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa: Add queue index attr to vdpa_nl_policy for nlattr length check The vdpa_nl_policy structure is used to validate the nlattr when parsing the incoming nlmsg. It will ensure the attribute being described produces a valid nlattr pointer in info->attrs before entering into each handler in vdpa_nl_ops. That is to say, the missing part in vdpa_nl_policy may lead to illegal nlattr after parsing, which could lead to OOB read just like CVE-2023-3773. This patch adds the missing nla_policy for vdpa queue index attr to avoid such bugs. | ||||
| CVE-2025-68349 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4/pNFS: Clear NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT in pnfs_mark_layout_stateid_invalid Fixes a crash when layout is null during this call stack: write_inode -> nfs4_write_inode -> pnfs_layoutcommit_inode pnfs_set_layoutcommit relies on the lseg refcount to keep the layout around. Need to clear NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT otherwise we might attempt to reference a null layout. | ||||
| CVE-2023-53990 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: SMB3: Add missing locks to protect deferred close file list cifs_del_deferred_close function has a critical section which modifies the deferred close file list. We must acquire deferred_lock before calling cifs_del_deferred_close function. | ||||
| CVE-2023-53997 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: of: fix double-free on unregistration Since commit 3d439b1a2ad3 ("thermal/core: Alloc-copy-free the thermal zone parameters structure"), thermal_zone_device_register() allocates a copy of the tzp argument and frees it when unregistering, so thermal_of_zone_register() now ends up leaking its original tzp and double-freeing the tzp copy. Fix this by locating tzp on stack instead. | ||||
| CVE-2025-68357 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iomap: allocate s_dio_done_wq for async reads as well Since commit 222f2c7c6d14 ("iomap: always run error completions in user context"), read error completions are deferred to s_dio_done_wq. This means the workqueue also needs to be allocated for async reads. | ||||

| CVE-2022-50700 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath10k: Delay the unmapping of the buffer On WCN3990, we are seeing a rare scenario where copy engine hardware is sending a copy complete interrupt to the host driver while still processing the buffer that the driver has sent, this is leading into an SMMU fault triggering kernel panic. This is happening on copy engine channel 3 (CE3) where the driver normally enqueues WMI commands to the firmware. Upon receiving a copy complete interrupt, host driver will immediately unmap and frees the buffer presuming that hardware has processed the buffer. In the issue case, upon receiving copy complete interrupt, host driver will unmap and free the buffer but since hardware is still accessing the buffer (which in this case got unmapped in parallel), SMMU hardware will trigger an SMMU fault resulting in a kernel panic. In order to avoid this, as a work around, add a delay before unmapping the copy engine source DMA buffer. This is conditionally done for WCN3990 and only for the CE3 channel where issue is seen. Below is the crash signature: wifi smmu error: kernel: [ 10.120965] arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Unhandled context fault: fsr=0x402, iova=0x7fdfd8ac0, fsynr=0x500003,cbfrsynra=0xc1, cb=6 arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Unhandled context fault:fsr=0x402, iova=0x7fe06fdc0, fsynr=0x710003, cbfrsynra=0xc1, cb=6 qcom-q6v5-mss 4080000.remoteproc: fatal error received: err_qdi.c:1040:EF:wlan_process:0x1:WLAN RT:0x2091: cmnos_thread.c:3998:Asserted in copy_engine.c:AXI_ERROR_DETECTED:2149 remoteproc remoteproc0: crash detected in 4080000.remoteproc: type fatal error <3> remoteproc remoteproc0: handling crash #1 in 4080000.remoteproc pc : __arm_lpae_unmap+0x500/0x514 lr : __arm_lpae_unmap+0x4bc/0x514 sp : ffffffc011ffb530 x29: ffffffc011ffb590 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: 0000000000000004 x25: 0000000000000003 x24: ffffffc011ffb890 x23: ffffffa762ef9be0 x22: ffffffa77244ef00 x21: 0000000000000009 x20: 00000007fff7c000 x19: 0000000000000003 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000004 x16: ffffffd7a357d9f0 x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 00fd5d4fa7ffffff x13: 000000000000000e x12: 0000000000000000 x11: 00000000ffffffff x10: 00000000fffffe00 x9 : 000000000000017c x8 : 000000000000000c x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : ffffffa762ef9000 x5 : 0000000000000003 x4 : 0000000000000004 x3 : 0000000000001000 x2 : 00000007fff7c000 x1 : ffffffc011ffb890 x0 : 0000000000000000 Call trace: __arm_lpae_unmap+0x500/0x514 __arm_lpae_unmap+0x4bc/0x514 __arm_lpae_unmap+0x4bc/0x514 arm_lpae_unmap_pages+0x78/0xa4 arm_smmu_unmap_pages+0x78/0x104 __iommu_unmap+0xc8/0x1e4 iommu_unmap_fast+0x38/0x48 __iommu_dma_unmap+0x84/0x104 iommu_dma_free+0x34/0x50 dma_free_attrs+0xa4/0xd0 ath10k_htt_rx_free+0xc4/0xf4 [ath10k_core] ath10k_core_stop+0x64/0x7c [ath10k_core] ath10k_halt+0x11c/0x180 [ath10k_core] ath10k_stop+0x54/0x94 [ath10k_core] drv_stop+0x48/0x1c8 [mac80211] ieee80211_do_open+0x638/0x77c [mac80211] ieee80211_open+0x48/0x5c [mac80211] __dev_open+0xb4/0x174 __dev_change_flags+0xc4/0x1dc dev_change_flags+0x3c/0x7c devinet_ioctl+0x2b4/0x580 inet_ioctl+0xb0/0x1b4 sock_do_ioctl+0x4c/0x16c compat_ifreq_ioctl+0x1cc/0x35c compat_sock_ioctl+0x110/0x2ac __arm64_compat_sys_ioctl+0xf4/0x3e0 el0_svc_common+0xb4/0x17c el0_svc_compat_handler+0x2c/0x58 el0_svc_compat+0x8/0x2c Tested-on: WCN3990 hw1.0 SNOC WLAN.HL.2.0-01387-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1 | ||||
| CVE-2022-50703 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: qcom: smsm: Fix refcount leak bugs in qcom_smsm_probe() There are two refcount leak bugs in qcom_smsm_probe(): (1) The 'local_node' is escaped out from for_each_child_of_node() as the break of iteration, we should call of_node_put() for it in error path or when it is not used anymore. (2) The 'node' is escaped out from for_each_available_child_of_node() as the 'goto', we should call of_node_put() for it in goto target. | ||||
| CVE-2023-54041 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2025-12-29 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: fix memory leak when removing provided buffers When removing provided buffers, io_buffer structs are not being disposed of, leading to a memory leak. They can't be freed individually, because they are allocated in page-sized groups. They need to be added to some free list instead, such as io_buffers_cache. All callers already hold the lock protecting it, apart from when destroying buffers, so had to extend the lock there. | ||||
