| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Don't skip unrelated instruction if INT3/INTO is replaced
When re-injecting a soft interrupt from an INT3, INT0, or (select) INTn
instruction, discard the exception and retry the instruction if the code
stream is changed (e.g. by a different vCPU) between when the CPU
executes the instruction and when KVM decodes the instruction to get the
next RIP.
As effectively predicted by commit 6ef88d6e36c2 ("KVM: SVM: Re-inject
INT3/INTO instead of retrying the instruction"), failure to verify that
the correct INTn instruction was decoded can effectively clobber guest
state due to decoding the wrong instruction and thus specifying the
wrong next RIP.
The bug most often manifests as "Oops: int3" panics on static branch
checks in Linux guests. Enabling or disabling a static branch in Linux
uses the kernel's "text poke" code patching mechanism. To modify code
while other CPUs may be executing that code, Linux (temporarily)
replaces the first byte of the original instruction with an int3 (opcode
0xcc), then patches in the new code stream except for the first byte,
and finally replaces the int3 with the first byte of the new code
stream. If a CPU hits the int3, i.e. executes the code while it's being
modified, then the guest kernel must look up the RIP to determine how to
handle the #BP, e.g. by emulating the new instruction. If the RIP is
incorrect, then this lookup fails and the guest kernel panics.
The bug reproduces almost instantly by hacking the guest kernel to
repeatedly check a static branch[1] while running a drgn script[2] on
the host to constantly swap out the memory containing the guest's TSS.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: multiq3: sanitize config options in multiq3_attach()
Syzbot identified an issue [1] in multiq3_attach() that induces a
task timeout due to open() or COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl operations,
specifically, in the case of multiq3 driver.
This problem arose when syzkaller managed to craft weird configuration
options used to specify the number of channels in encoder subdevice.
If a particularly great number is passed to s->n_chan in
multiq3_attach() via it->options[2], then multiple calls to
multiq3_encoder_reset() at the end of driver-specific attach() method
will be running for minutes, thus blocking tasks and affected devices
as well.
While this issue is most likely not too dangerous for real-life
devices, it still makes sense to sanitize configuration inputs. Enable
a sensible limit on the number of encoder chips (4 chips max, each
with 2 channels) to stop this behaviour from manifesting.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: check device's attached status in compat ioctls
Syzbot identified an issue [1] that crashes kernel, seemingly due to
unexistent callback dev->get_valid_routes(). By all means, this should
not occur as said callback must always be set to
get_zero_valid_routes() in __comedi_device_postconfig().
As the crash seems to appear exclusively in i386 kernels, at least,
judging from [1] reports, the blame lies with compat versions
of standard IOCTL handlers. Several of them are modified and
do not use comedi_unlocked_ioctl(). While functionality of these
ioctls essentially copy their original versions, they do not
have required sanity check for device's attached status. This,
in turn, leads to a possibility of calling select IOCTLs on a
device that has not been properly setup, even via COMEDI_DEVCONFIG.
Doing so on unconfigured devices means that several crucial steps
are missed, for instance, specifying dev->get_valid_routes()
callback.
Fix this somewhat crudely by ensuring device's attached status before
performing any ioctls, improving logic consistency between modern
and compat functions.

NFS: Fix LTP test failures when timestamps are delegated
The utimes01 and utime06 tests fail when delegated timestamps are
enabled, specifically in subtests that modify the atime and mtime
fields using the 'nobody' user ID.
The problem can be reproduced as follow:
# echo "/media *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" >> /etc/exports
# export -ra
# mount -o rw,nfsvers=4.2 127.0.0.1:/media /tmpdir
# cd /opt/ltp
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utimes01
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utime06
This issue occurs because nfs_setattr does not verify the inode's
UID against the caller's fsuid when delegated timestamps are
permitted for the inode.
This patch adds the UID check and if it does not match then the
request is sent to the server for permission checking. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: avoid having an active sc_timer before freeing sci
Because kthread_stop did not stop sc_task properly and returned -EINTR,
the sc_timer was not properly closed, ultimately causing the problem [1]
reported by syzbot when freeing sci due to the sc_timer not being closed.
Because the thread sc_task main function nilfs_segctor_thread() returns 0
when it succeeds, when the return value of kthread_stop() is not 0 in
nilfs_segctor_destroy(), we believe that it has not properly closed
sc_timer.
We use timer_shutdown_sync() to sync wait for sc_timer to shutdown, and
set the value of sc_task to NULL under the protection of lock
sc_state_lock, so as to avoid the issue caused by sc_timer not being
properly shutdowned.

drm/amdgpu: fix gpu page fault after hibernation on PF passthrough
On PF passthrough environment, after hibernate and then resume, coralgemm
will cause gpu page fault.
Mode1 reset happens during hibernate, but partition mode is not restored
on resume, register mmCP_HYP_XCP_CTL and mmCP_PSP_XCP_CTL is not right
after resume. When CP access the MQD BO, wrong stride size is used,
this will cause out of bound access on the MQD BO, resulting page fault.
The fix is to ensure gfx_v9_4_3_switch_compute_partition() is called
when resume from a hibernation.
KFD resume is called separately during a reset recovery or resume from
suspend sequence. Hence it's not required to be called as part of
partition switch.

cifs: fix memory leak in smb3_fs_context_parse_param error path
Add proper cleanup of ctx->source and fc->source to the
cifs_parse_mount_err error handler. This ensures that memory allocated
for the source strings is correctly freed on all error paths, matching
the cleanup already performed in the success path by
smb3_cleanup_fs_context_contents().
Pointers are also set to NULL after freeing to prevent potential
double-free issues.
This change fixes a memory leak originally detected by syzbot. The
leak occurred when processing Opt_source mount options if an error
happened after ctx->source and fc->source were successfully
allocated but before the function completed.
The specific leak sequence was:
1. ctx->source = smb3_fs_context_fullpath(ctx, '/') allocates memory
2. fc->source = kstrdup(ctx->source, GFP_KERNEL) allocates more memory
3. A subsequent error jumps to cifs_parse_mount_err
4. The old error handler freed passwords but not the source strings,
causing the memory to leak.
This issue was not addressed by commit e8c73eb7db0a ("cifs: client:
fix memory leak in smb3_fs_context_parse_param"), which only fixed
leaks from repeated fsconfig() calls but not this error path.

9p/trans_fd: p9_fd_request: kick rx thread if EPOLLIN
p9_read_work() doesn't set Rworksched and doesn't do schedule_work(m->rq)

However, if the pipe is full, we need to read more data and this used to
work prior to commit aaec5a95d59615 ("pipe_read: don't wake up the writer

p9_read_work() does p9_fd_read() -> ... -> anon_pipe_read() which (before

p9_pollwake() which kicks p9_poll_workfn() -> p9_poll_mux(), p9_poll_mux()

The comedi_buf_munge() function performs a modulo operation
`async->munge_chan %= async->cmd.chanlist_len` without first
checking if chanlist_len is zero. If a user program submits a command with
chanlist_len set to zero, this causes a divide-by-zero error when the device
processes data in the interrupt handler path.
Add a check for zero chanlist_len at the beginning of the
function, similar to the existing checks for !map and
CMDF_RAWDATA flag. When chanlist_len is zero, update
munge_count and return early, indicating the data was
handled without munging.

of the FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT logic, has no process memory left,
causing ttm_bo_vm_dummy_page() to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, since
there was nothing left to populate, and then oopses in
"mem_type_is_vram(tbo->resource->mem_type)" because tbo->resource
is NULL.
It's convoluted, but fits the data and explains the oops after
the test exits. |

drm/sched: Fix deadlock in drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb
The Mesa issue referenced below pointed out a possible deadlock:
[ 1231.611031] Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
[ 1231.611033] CPU0 CPU1
[ 1231.611034] ---- ----
[ 1231.611035] lock(&xa->xa_lock#17);
[ 1231.611038] local_irq_disable();
[ 1231.611039] lock(&fence->lock);
[ 1231.611041] lock(&xa->xa_lock#17);
[ 1231.611044] <Interrupt>
[ 1231.611045] lock(&fence->lock);
[ 1231.611047]
*** DEADLOCK ***
In this example, CPU0 would be any function accessing job->dependencies
through the xa_* functions that don't disable interrupts (eg:
drm_sched_job_add_dependency(), drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()).
CPU1 is executing drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb() as a fence signalling
callback so in an interrupt context. It will deadlock when trying to
grab the xa_lock which is already held by CPU0.
Replacing all xa_* usage by their xa_*_irq counterparts would fix
this issue, but Christian pointed out another issue: dma_fence_signal
takes fence.lock and so does dma_fence_add_callback.
dma_fence_signal() // locks f1.lock
-> drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()
-> foreach dependencies
-> dma_fence_add_callback() // locks f2.lock
This will deadlock if f1 and f2 share the same spinlock.
To fix both issues, the code iterating on dependencies and re-arming them
is moved out to drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work().
