| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: ldusb: fix use-after-free on disconnect race
mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure after releasing the lock
and therefore cannot be used to manage lifetime of objects directly
(unlike spinlocks and refcounts). [1][2]
Use a kref to release the driver data to avoid use-after-free in
mutex_unlock() when release() races with disconnect().

other sleeping locks, can still use the lock object
after it's unlocked") |

USB: iowarrior: fix use-after-free on disconnect
Submitted write URBs are not stopped on close() and therefore need to be
stopped unconditionally on disconnect() to avoid use-after-free in the
completion handler. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: ccg: Fix use-after-free of ucsi on remove
The threaded IRQ handler ccg_irq_handler() calls ucsi_notify_common(),
which on a connector-change event calls ucsi_connector_change() and
schedules connector work. In ucsi_ccg_remove(), ucsi_destroy() frees
uc->ucsi (kfree) before free_irq() is called, so a handler invocation
already in flight may access the freed object after ucsi_destroy().
CPU 0 (remove) | CPU 1 (threaded IRQ)
ucsi_destroy(uc->ucsi) | ccg_irq_handler()
kfree(ucsi) // FREE | ucsi_notify_common(uc->ucsi) // USE
Move free_irq() before ucsi_destroy() in the remove path. It is kept
after ucsi_unregister(): ucsi_unregister() cancels connector work whose
handler issues GET_CONNECTOR_STATUS through ucsi_send_command_common(),
which waits for a completion that is signalled from the IRQ handler, so
the IRQ must stay active until that work has been cancelled.
The probe error path already orders free_irq() before ucsi_destroy().
This bug was found by static analysis. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - protect service table iterations with service_lock
The service_table list is protected by service_lock when entries are
added or removed (in adf_service_add() and adf_service_remove()), but
several functions iterate over the list without holding this lock.
A concurrent adf_service_register() or adf_service_unregister() call
could modify the list during traversal, leading to list corruption or
a use-after-free.
Fix this by holding service_lock across all list_for_each_entry()
iterations of service_table in adf_dev_init(), adf_dev_start(),
adf_dev_stop(), adf_dev_shutdown(), adf_dev_restarting_notify(),
adf_dev_restarted_notify(), and adf_error_notifier().
The lock ordering is safe: callers of the static helpers (adf_dev_up()
and adf_dev_down()) acquire state_lock before service_lock, and no
event_hld callback or service_lock holder ever acquires state_lock in
the reverse order. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: modedb: fix a possible UAF in fb_find_mode()
If mode_option is NULL, it is assigned from mode_option_buf:
if (!mode_option) {
fb_get_options(NULL, &mode_option_buf);
mode_option = mode_option_buf;
}
Later, name is assigned from mode_option:
const char *name = mode_option;
However, mode_option_buf is freed before name is no longer used:
kfree(mode_option_buf);
while name is still accessed by:
if ((name_matches(db[i], name, namelen) ||
Since name aliases mode_option_buf, this may result in a
use-after-free.
Fix this by extending the lifetime of mode_option_buf until the end of the
function by using scope-based resource management for cleanup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: delete tried region in regions_rmdirs()
DAMON sysfs maintains the DAMOS tried region directory objects via a
linked list. When the user requests refresh of the directories, DAMON
sysfs removes all the region directories first, and then generate updated
regions directory on the empty space. The removal function
(damon_sysfs_scheme_regions_rm_dirs()) only puts the kobj objects.
Deletion of the container region object from the linked list is done
inside the kobj release callback function.
If somehow the callback invocation is delayed, the list will contain
regions list that gonna be freed. If the updated region directories
creation is started in this situation, the list can be corrupted and
use-after-free can happen.
Because the kobj objects are managed by only DAMON sysfs, the issue cannot
happen in normal situation. But, such delays can be made on kernels that
built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. On the kernel, the issue can
indeed be reproduced like below.
# damo start --damos_action stat
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0/
# for i in {1..10}; do echo update_schemes_tried_regions > state; done
# dmesg | grep underflow
[ 89.296152] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
Fix the issue by removing the region object from the list when
decrementing the reference count.
Also update damos_sysfs_populate_region_dir() to add the region object to
the list only after the kobject_init_and_add() is success, so that fail of
kobject_init_and_add() is not leaving the deallocated object on the list.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: fix double free in rvu_rep_rsrc_init()
rvu_rep_rsrc_init() allocates queue memory before calling
otx2_init_hw_resources(). When hardware resource setup fails,
otx2_init_hw_resources() already unwinds the partially initialized
SQ, CQ, and aura state before returning an error. The representor
error path then calls otx2_free_hw_resources() again and can free
the same resources a second time.
Fix this by splitting the cleanup labels so that a failure from
otx2_init_hw_resources() only releases queue memory. Keep the
otx2_free_hw_resources() call for failures that happen after
hardware resource initialization completed successfully.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1-rc3.
Runtime validation was not performed because reproducing this path
requires OcteonTX2 representor hardware. |

scsi: isci: Fix use-after-free in device removal path
The ISCI completion tasklet is initialized in isci_host_alloc()
(drivers/scsi/isci/init.c:496) and scheduled from both MSI-X and legacy
interrupt handlers (drivers/scsi/isci/host.c:223,613).
isci_host_deinit() stops the controller and waits for stop completion,
but it never kills completion_tasklet before teardown continues. A
top-of-function tasklet_kill() is not sufficient here: interrupts are
only disabled when isci_host_stop_complete() runs, so until
wait_for_stop() returns the IRQ handlers can still requeue the
tasklet. The tasklet callback also re-enables interrupts after draining
completions, so killing the tasklet before the source is quiesced leaves
the same race open.
Once wait_for_stop() returns, no further IRQ-driven scheduling can
occur. Kill completion_tasklet there so teardown cannot race a queued
tasklet running on a dead ihost. On remove or unload, the stale callback
can otherwise dereference ihost and touch ihost->smu_registers after the
host lifetime ends.
A UML + KASAN analogue reproduced the failure class both with no
tasklet_kill() and with tasklet_kill() placed before source quiesce, and
stayed clean once the kill happened after quiescing the scheduling
source.
This mirrors commit f6ab594672d4 ("scsi: aic94xx: fix use-after-free in
device removal path"), but ISCI needs the kill after wait_for_stop(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: fix use-after-free in nvme_free_host_mem()
nvme_free_host_mem() frees dev->hmb_sgt via dma_free_noncontiguous()
but never clears the pointer afterward. This leads to a use-after-free
if nvme_free_host_mem() is called twice in the same error path.
This can happen during nvme_probe() when nvme_setup_host_mem() succeeds
in allocating the HMB (setting dev->hmb_sgt) but nvme_set_host_mem()
fails with an I/O error:
nvme_setup_host_mem()
nvme_alloc_host_mem_single() -> sets dev->hmb_sgt
nvme_set_host_mem() -> fails with -EIO
nvme_free_host_mem() -> frees hmb_sgt, but does NOT NULL it
return error
nvme_probe() error path:
nvme_free_host_mem() -> dev->hmb_sgt is stale, use-after-free
The second call dereferences the freed sgt, causing a NULL pointer
dereference in iommu_dma_free_noncontiguous() when it accesses
sgt->sgl->dma_address (the backing memory has been freed and zeroed).
This is reproducible on Thunderbolt-attached NVMe devices (e.g., OWC
Envoy Express behind a Dell WD22TB4 dock) where the device intermittently
returns I/O errors during HMB setup due to PCIe link instability.

Fix this by setting dev->hmb_sgt to NULL after freeing it, so the
second call takes the multi-descriptor path which safely handles the
already-cleaned-up state. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: shaper: reject duplicate leaves in GROUP request
net_shaper_nl_group_doit() does not deduplicate NET_SHAPER_A_LEAVES
entries. When userspace supplies the same leaf handle twice, the same
old-parent pointer lands twice in old_nodes[]. The cleanup loop double
frees the parent. Of course the same parent may still be in old_nodes[]
twice if we are moving multiple of its leaves.
Note that this patch also implicitly fixes the fact that the
i >= leaves_count path forgets to set ret. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: fix use-after-free in gfs2_qd_dealloc
gfs2_qd_dealloc(), called as an RCU callback from gfs2_qd_dispose(),
accesses the superblock object sdp through qd->qd_sbd after freeing qd.
It does so to decrement sd_quota_count and wake up sd_kill_wait.
However, by the time the RCU callback runs, gfs2_put_super() may have
already freed sdp via free_sbd(). This can happen when
gfs2_quota_cleanup() is called during unmount: it disposes of quota
objects via call_rcu() and then waits on sd_kill_wait with a 60-second
timeout. If the timeout expires, or if gfs2_gl_hash_clear() triggers
additional qd_put() calls that schedule more RCU callbacks after the
wait completes, gfs2_put_super() will proceed to free the superblock
while RCU callbacks referencing it are still pending.
Add an rcu_barrier() before free_sbd() in gfs2_put_super() to ensure
all pending RCU callbacks (including gfs2_qd_dealloc) have completed
before the superblock is freed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: mailbox-test: free channels on probe error
On probe error, free the previously obtained channels. This not only
prevents a leak, but also UAF scenarios because the client structure
will be removed nonetheless because it was allocated with devm. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: mailbox-test: don't free the reused channel
The RX channel can be aliased to the TX channel if it has a different
MMIO. This special case needs to be handled when freeing the channels
otherwise a double-free occurs. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: fix double free and use-after-free in aux device error paths
When auxiliary_device_add() fails in idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev() or
idpf_plug_core_aux_dev(), the err_aux_dev_add label calls
auxiliary_device_uninit() and falls through to err_aux_dev_init. The
uninit call will trigger put_device(), which invokes the release
callback (idpf_vport_adev_release / idpf_core_adev_release) that frees
iadev. The fall-through then reads adev->id from the freed iadev for
ida_free() and double-frees iadev with kfree().
Free the IDA slot and clear the back-pointer before uninit, while adev
is still valid, then return immediately.
Commit 65637c3a1811 ("idpf: fix UAF in RDMA core aux dev deinitialization")
fixed the same use-after-free in the matching unplug path in this file but
missed both probe error paths. |

erofs: fix use-after-free on sbi->sync_decompress
z_erofs_decompress_kickoff() can race with filesystem unmount, causing
a use-after-free on sbi->sync_decompress.
When I/O completes, z_erofs_endio() calls z_erofs_decompress_kickoff()
to queue z_erofs_decompressqueue_work() asynchronously. Then, after all
folios are unlocked, unmount workflow can proceed and sbi will be freed
before accessing to sbi->sync_decompress.

nvmem: core: fix use-after-free bugs in error paths
Fix several instances of error paths in which we call
__nvmem_device_put() - which may end up freeing the underlying memory
and other resources - and then keep on using the nvmem structure. Always
put the reference to the nvmem device as the last step before returning
the error code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/mbcache: cancel shrink work before destroying the cache
mb_cache_destroy() calls shrinker_free() and then frees all cache
entries and the cache itself, but it does not cancel the pending
c_shrink_work work item first.
If mb_cache_entry_create() schedules c_shrink_work via schedule_work()
and the work item is still pending or running when mb_cache_destroy()
runs, mb_cache_shrink_worker() will access the cache after its memory
has been freed, causing a use-after-free.
This is only reachable by a privileged user (root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
who can trigger the last put of a mounted ext2/ext4/ocfs2 filesystem.
Cancel the work item with cancel_work_sync() before calling
shrinker_free(), ensuring the worker has finished and will not be
rescheduled before the cache is torn down. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.
Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1] |
