HID: logitech-hidpp: Prevent use-after-free on force feedback initialisation failure
Presently, if the force feedback initialisation fails when probing the
Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox One, an error number
will be returned and propagated before the userspace infrastructure
(sysfs and /dev/input) has been torn down. If userspace ignores the
errors and continues to use its references to these dangling entities, a
UAF will promptly follow.
We have 2 options; continue to return the error, but ensure that all of
the infrastructure is torn down accordingly or continue to treat this
condition as a warning by emitting the message but returning success.
It is thought that the original author's intention was to emit the
warning but keep the device functional, less the force feedback feature,
so let's go with that. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_helper: pass helper to expect cleanup
nf_conntrack_helper_unregister() calls nf_ct_expect_iterate_destroy()
to remove expectations belonging to the helper being unregistered.
However, it passes NULL instead of the helper pointer as the data
argument, so expect_iter_me() never matches any expectation and all
of them survive the cleanup.
After unregister returns, nfnl_cthelper_del() frees the helper
object immediately. Subsequent expectation dumps or packet-driven
init_conntrack() calls then dereference the freed exp->helper,
causing a use-after-free.
Pass the actual helper pointer so expectations referencing it are
properly destroyed before the helper object is freed.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: em28xx: fix use-after-free in em28xx_v4l2_open()
em28xx_v4l2_open() reads dev->v4l2 without holding dev->lock,
creating a race with em28xx_v4l2_init()'s error path and
em28xx_v4l2_fini(), both of which free the em28xx_v4l2 struct
and set dev->v4l2 to NULL under dev->lock.
This race leads to two issues:
- use-after-free in v4l2_fh_init() when accessing vdev->ctrl_handler,
since the video_device is embedded in the freed em28xx_v4l2 struct.
- NULL pointer dereference in em28xx_resolution_set() when accessing
v4l2->norm, since dev->v4l2 has been set to NULL.
Fix this by moving the mutex_lock() before the dev->v4l2 read and
adding a NULL check for dev->v4l2 under the lock. |
| A flaw was found in OpenSSL's handling of the properties argument in certain functions. This vulnerability can allow use-after-free exploitation, which may result in undefined behavior or incorrect property parsing, leading to OpenSSL treating the input as an empty string. |
| The use-after-free vulnerability was found in the AuthentIC driver in OpenSC packages, occuring in the card enrolment process using pkcs15-init when a user or administrator enrols or modifies cards. An attacker must have physical access to the computer system and requires a crafted USB device or smart card to present the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs, which are considered high complexity and low severity. This manipulation can allow for compromised card management operations during enrolment. |
| A heap use-after-free issue has been identified in SQLite in the jsonParseAddNodeArray() function in sqlite3.c. This flaw allows a local attacker to leverage a victim to pass specially crafted malicious input to the application, potentially causing a crash and leading to a denial of service. |
| A use-after-free flaw was found in PackageKitd. In some conditions, the order of cleanup mechanics for a transaction could be impacted. As a result, some memory access could occur on memory regions that were previously freed. Once freed, a memory region can be reused for other allocations and any previously stored data in this memory region is considered lost. |
| Multiple Use-After-Free vulnerabilities were found in the add_archive_element function in ld/ldmain.c of the GNU linker (ld), a component of binutils. The root cause is that plugin_maybe_claim() in ld/plugin.c frees the original BFD object via bfd_close/_bfd_delete_bfd when entry->the_bfd->my_archive == NULL, but the caller retains both the original abfd parameter and a shallow copy (orig_input.the_bfd) as dangling pointers. These dangling pointers are subsequently dereferenced at three distinct locations in add_archive_element:
1. Line ~1442: accessing abfd->my_archive via bfd_usrdata(abfd->my_archive)
2. Line ~1493: multiple accesses to abfd and abfd->my_archive in a conditional check and bfd_get_filename call
3. Line ~1525: dereferencing the shallow copy orig_input.the_bfd->my_archive in trace/verbose logging
The vulnerability is triggered when LTO plugins are active (link_info.lto_plugin_active is true) and the input object has abfd->my_archive == NULL, which is a valid state for standalone object files. Red Hat builds binutils with --enable-plugins and --enable-lto, confirming the vulnerable code path is compiled in and reachable.
An attacker who can supply a crafted object or archive file to a build process using LTO-enabled linking could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (linker crash via segmentation fault). Arbitrary code execution is theoretically possible through heap manipulation but is substantially mitigated by hardening measures including stack protector, FORTIFY_SOURCE, ASLR, and PIE.
The attack surface is limited to build-time environments — the linker is a development tool not exposed in production runtime. The most realistic exploitation scenario is a supply chain attack introducing a crafted object file as a build dependency in CI/CD pipelines or development environments. |
| Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to cause race condition in hardware performance counters buffer’s destruction path leading to read and/or write UAF.
The race condition in the destruction path could lead to reference counter being decremented in non-atomical way allowing other code paths using a freed object to read and/or write kernel heap memory. |
| Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to free memory in still in use, replace with another allocation and cause arbitrary memory reads or writes to physical memory pages.
A memory buffer managed by a CPU thread of control (driver) and accessed by a GPU thread of control (firmware) can be freed while in use. Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may replace that buffer with another and replace a shared resource (memory page address list) managed by the CPU thread of control (driver) leading to the GPU accessing memory not managed by the CPU thread of control (driver). |
| FastNetMon is a high-performance DDoS detector and sensor. In version 1.2.9 and earlier, peer_find_template() in src/netflow_plugin/netflow_collector.cpp and src/netflow_plugin/netflow_v9_collector.cpp returns a pointer into global_netflow9_templates after releasing the cache mutex. On deployments with at least two entries in netflow_ports, concurrent template redefinition and data-flowset processing can let add_update_peer_template() reassign the template and free its records vector while another listener dereferences the escaped pointer. An unauthenticated sender that can reach both NetFlow/IPFIX listener ports can trigger a heap-use-after-free and reliably crash FastNetMon. No fixed release is available as of this review. |

After analyzing the coredump file, we found that the address of
dc->sb_bio has been freed. We know that cached_dev is only freed when it
is stopped.
Since sb_bio is a part of struct cached_dev, rather than an alloc every
time. If the device is stopped while writing to the superblock, the
released address will be accessed at endio.
This patch hopes to wait for sb_write to complete in cached_dev_free.
It should be noted that we analyzed the cause of the problem, then tell
all details to the QWEN and adopted the modifications it made. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/port: Fix use after free of parent_port in cxl_detach_ep()
cxl_detach_ep() is called during bottom-up removal when all CXL memory
devices beneath a switch port have been removed. For each port in the
hierarchy it locks both the port and its parent, removes the endpoint,
and if the port is now empty, marks it dead and unregisters the port
by calling delete_switch_port(). There are two places during this work
where the parent_port may be used after freeing:
First, a concurrent detach may have already processed a port by the
time a second worker finds it via bus_find_device(). Without pinning
parent_port, it may already be freed when we discover port->dead and
attempt to unlock the parent_port. In a production kernel that's a
silent memory corruption, with lock debug, it looks like this:
[]DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(__owner_task(owner) != get_current())
[]WARNING: kernel/locking/mutex.c:949 at __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x1ee/0x310
[]Call Trace:
[]mutex_unlock+0xd/0x20
[]cxl_detach_ep+0x180/0x400 [cxl_core]
[]devm_action_release+0x10/0x20
[]devres_release_all+0xa8/0xe0
[]device_unbind_cleanup+0xd/0xa0
[]really_probe+0x1a6/0x3e0
Second, delete_switch_port() releases three devm actions registered
against parent_port. The last of those is unregister_port() and it
calls device_unregister() on the child port, which can cascade. If
parent_port is now also empty the device core may unregister and free
it too. So by the time delete_switch_port() returns, parent_port may
be free, and the subsequent device_unlock(&parent_port->dev) operates
on freed memory. The kernel log looks same as above, with a different
offset in cxl_detach_ep().
Both of these issues stem from the absence of a lifetime guarantee
between a child port and its parent port.
Establish a lifetime rule for ports: child ports hold a reference to
their parent device until release. Take the reference when the port
is allocated and drop it when released. This ensures the parent is
valid for the full lifetime of the child and eliminates the use after
free window in cxl_detach_ep().
This is easily reproduced with a reload of cxl_acpi in QEMU with CXL
devices present. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: platform: 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] |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btintel: serialize btintel_hw_error() with hci_req_sync_lock
btintel_hw_error() issues two __hci_cmd_sync() calls (HCI_OP_RESET
and Intel exception-info retrieval) without holding
hci_req_sync_lock(). This lets it race against
hci_dev_do_close() -> btintel_shutdown_combined(), which also runs
__hci_cmd_sync() under the same lock. When both paths manipulate
hdev->req_status/req_rsp concurrently, the close path may free the
response skb first, and the still-running hw_error path hits a
slab-use-after-free in kfree_skb().
Wrap the whole recovery sequence in hci_req_sync_lock/unlock so it
is serialized with every other synchronous HCI command issuer.
Below is the data race report and the kasan report:

RDMA/efa: Fix use of completion ctx after free
On admin queue completion handling, if the admin command completed with
error we print data from the completion context. The issue is that we
already freed the completion context in polling/interrupts handler which
means we print data from context in an unknown state (it might be
already used again).
Change the admin submission flow so alloc/dealloc of the context will be
symmetric and dealloc will be called after any potential use of the
context. |

spi: spi-fsl-lpspi: fix teardown order issue (UAF)
There is a teardown order issue in the driver. The SPI controller is
registered using devm_spi_register_controller(), which delays
unregistration of the SPI controller until after the fsl_lpspi_remove()
function returns.
As the fsl_lpspi_remove() function synchronously tears down the DMA
channels, a running SPI transfer triggers the following NULL pointer
dereference due to use after free:
| fsl_lpspi 42550000.spi: I/O Error in DMA RX

fsl_lpspi_remove(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: stop reclaim before pushing AIL during unmount
The unmount sequence in xfs_unmount_flush_inodes() pushed the AIL while
background reclaim and inodegc are still running. This is broken
independently of any use-after-free issues - background reclaim and
inodegc should not be running while the AIL is being pushed during
unmount, as inodegc can dirty and insert inodes into the AIL during the
flush, and background reclaim can race to abort and free dirty inodes.
Reorder xfs_unmount_flush_inodes() to stop inodegc and cancel background
reclaim before pushing the AIL. Stop inodegc before cancelling
m_reclaim_work because the inodegc worker can re-queue m_reclaim_work
via xfs_inodegc_set_reclaimable. |

nvdimm/bus: Fix potential use after free in asynchronous initialization
Dingisoul with KASAN reports a use after free if device_add() fails in
nd_async_device_register().
Commit b6eae0f61db2 ("libnvdimm: Hold reference on parent while
scheduling async init") correctly added a reference on the parent device
to be held until asynchronous initialization was complete. However, if
device_add() results in an allocation failure the ref count of the
device drops to 0 prior to the parent pointer being accessed. Thus
resulting in use after free.
The bug bot AI correctly identified the fix. Save a reference to the
parent pointer to be used to drop the parent reference regardless of the
outcome of device_add(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: fix use-after-free in mana_hwc_destroy_channel() by reordering teardown
A potential race condition exists in mana_hwc_destroy_channel() where
hwc->caller_ctx is freed before the HWC's Completion Queue (CQ) and
Event Queue (EQ) are destroyed. This allows an in-flight CQ interrupt
handler to dereference freed memory, leading to a use-after-free or
NULL pointer dereference in mana_hwc_handle_resp().
mana_smc_teardown_hwc() signals the hardware to stop but does not
synchronize against IRQ handlers already executing on other CPUs. The
IRQ synchronization only happens in mana_hwc_destroy_cq() via
mana_gd_destroy_eq() -> mana_gd_deregister_irq(). Since this runs
after kfree(hwc->caller_ctx), a concurrent mana_hwc_rx_event_handler()
can dereference freed caller_ctx (and rxq->msg_buf) in
mana_hwc_handle_resp().
Fix this by reordering teardown to reverse-of-creation order: destroy
the TX/RX work queues and CQ/EQ before freeing hwc->caller_ctx. This
ensures all in-flight interrupt handlers complete before the memory they
access is freed. |
