| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mpi3mr_sas_port_add()
sas_port_alloc_num() can return NULL on memory allocation failure. The
return value is passed directly to sas_port_add() without a NULL check,
which causes a NULL pointer dereference.
Additionally, if sas_port_add() fails, the allocated port is not freed
before jumping to out_fail, leaking the sas_port structure. Call
sas_port_free() to properly release it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: msc313e: Fix NULL pointer dereference in PM callbacks
msc313e_wdt_probe() doesn't set the driver data for the platform device.
As a result, dev_get_drvdata() in msc313e_wdt_suspend() and
msc313e_wdt_resume() will return NULL, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference afterward.
Set the platform device driver data in msc313e_wdt_probe(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix NULL deref in tipc_named_node_up() on empty publication list
User-space applications can bind a large number of service addresses to
one or more sockets. Each binding of a local-scope service address inserts
one entry (publication) into the TIPC name table. If the number of these
publications exceeds TIPC_MAX_PUBL (65535), protocol service types
(such as node state and link state) are no longer inserted into the name
table. This causes two issues:
1. User-space applications subscribing to node or link up/down events
stop receiving notifications.
2. A NULL pointer dereference can occur:

If 'tipc_nametbl_publish()' (Thread 1) fails because the number of
local publications reaches TIPC_MAX_PUBL, list (Thread 2) will be empty. As a
result, NULL is passed to 'buf_msg()', leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix these issues by allowing protocol service types (node state, link state,
and topology server) to be inserted into the name table unconditionally.
This ensures that users subscribing to these types always receive
notifications. In addition, the maximum number of local user publications is
reduced to (TIPC_MAX_PUBL - 1). This ensures that the maximum bulk size
calculated in tipc_link_set_queue_limits() remains valid. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: ump: do not touch legacy_rmidi before it exists
snd_ump_parse_endpoint() sets ump->parsed on every exit, including
error, before the caller attaches the legacy rawmidi device.
ump_handle_ep_name_msg() then treats parsed as "legacy_rmidi is live"
and calls ump_legacy_set_rawmidi_name(), which snprintf()s into
ump->legacy_rmidi->name. If a UMP packet arrives in that window
(IRQ path from snd_ump_receive), legacy_rmidi is still NULL
(KASAN null-ptr-deref in snprintf).
Guard the legacy helpers. parsed only means endpoint info was
parsed, not that legacy_rmidi exists. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject key-less BTF for hash maps
map_check_btf() allows a key-less BTF (btf_key_type_id == 0) only for
maps that have a ->map_check_btf callback, and leaves the actual
decision to that callback. Hash maps used to have no ->map_check_btf,
so a key-less BTF was rejected outright.
That changed when htab and rhtab gained a ->map_check_btf to register a
dtor - htab in commit 1df97a7453ee ("bpf: Register dtor for freeing
special fields") and rhtab in commit 6905f8601298 ("bpf: Allow special
fields in resizable hashtab"). Neither looks at the key, so a key-less
hash map now passes map_check_btf() and gets created. Reading it back
through bpffs feeds the key type_id 0 into btf_type_seq_show();
btf_type_by_id() returns the void type, kind_ops[BTF_KIND_UNKN] is NULL,
and btf_type_show() dereferences it:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NULL-ptr-deref when showing a void BTF type
btf_modifier_show() resolves the modifier and then calls
btf_type_ops(t)->show() unconditionally. For the void type (type_id 0,
BTF_KIND_UNKN) kind_ops[] has no entry, so ->show is NULL.
A "const void" (a modifier resolving to void) cannot be a map key or
value - map_check_btf() rejects it because void has no size - so the map
dump path does not reach it. But bpf_snprintf_btf() takes a type_id
straight from the BPF program, and passing such a "const void" from the
vmlinux BTF NULL-derefs:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NULL-ptr-deref in btf_var_show()
btf_var_show() calls btf_type_id_resolve() unconditionally, which
dereferences btf->resolved_ids. That is NULL for a base BTF - e.g. the
vmlinux BTF that bpf_snprintf_btf() renders against - since base BTF is
not resolved during parsing. btf_modifier_show() guards this with
'if (btf->resolved_ids)', but btf_var_show() does not.
A BPF program that passes the type_id of a BTF_KIND_VAR from the vmlinux
BTF to bpf_snprintf_btf() thus NULL-derefs:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pds_core: fix cmd_regs access racing BAR unmap on reset
pdsc_reset_prepare() and pdsc_reset_done()'s pdsc_map_bars() error path
clear/iounmap cmd_regs without devcmd_lock, and
pdsc_legacy_firmware_update()'s download loop derefs cmd_regs after
dropping and retaking the lock without re-checking. An FLR concurrent
with a devlink flash can unmap cmd_regs under an in-flight devcmd,
causing a NULL deref or a write to unmapped MMIO.
Take devcmd_lock across the BAR unmap/remap, and re-check cmd_regs in
the download loop. Only the PF maps cmd_regs and runs devcmd, so skip
the unmap on a VF, as pdsc_remove() and pdsc_reset_done() already do.
A reset that completes entirely within the unlocked window is not a
correctness problem for the image: the device clears its update session,
so a resumed download is rejected, and it verifies the staged image
before writing a flash slot, reporting PDS_RC_BAD_FW rather than
activating it.
pdsc_unmap_bars() also clears info_regs, intr_status and intr_ctrl. The
interrupt and start/stop readers of those are quiesced before the unmap
by pdsc_fw_down(), which frees the interrupts and tears down the queues.
The debugfs readers are not, since those files outlive a reset; that is
pre-existing and out of scope here. |

net: macb: fix NULL pointer dereference on unbind with fixed-link
When the device tree describes a fixed-link and has no "mdio" child
node, macb_mii_init() returns early without allocating the MDIO bus,
leaving bp->mii_bus as NULL.
Two cleanup paths then dereference this NULL bus:
1. On driver unbind, macb_remove() unconditionally calls
mdiobus_unregister(bp->mii_bus), which oopses:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000004a8

2. On the probe error path in macb_probe(), reached when
macb_mii_init() has succeeded but a subsequent step fails, the
err_out_unregister_mdio label runs the same unconditional cleanup.
mdiobus_unregister() and mdiobus_free() do not guard against a NULL
bus, so guard the calls in both macb_remove() and the probe error
path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ufs: create the root dentry after loading cylinder metadata
ufs_fill_super() installed sb->s_root before it loaded the cylinder
group structures for a writable mount:
sb->s_root = d_make_root(inode);
...
if (!sb_rdonly(sb))
if (!ufs_read_cylinder_structures(sb))
goto failed;
When ufs_read_cylinder_structures() failed, the error path freed the
in-core superblock information and set sb->s_fs_info to NULL while
sb->s_root stayed installed. get_tree_bdev() then reached
deactivate_locked_super(), and because s_root was present,
generic_shutdown_super() called sync_filesystem() and the put_super
operation. Both dereference UFS_SB(sb), which is now NULL, so a mount
that fails only while reading the cylinder groups oopses during
teardown. A crafted image whose first cylinder group cannot be read
reaches this path.
Load the cylinder group metadata first and create the root dentry last,
so the superblock is published to the VFS only once it is fully set up.
ufs_setup_cstotal() and ufs_read_cylinder_structures() take only the
super_block and do not use the root inode, so the reordering is safe. |

ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix NULL dereference in lowpan_newlink
TUNSETLINK allows a TUN device to change its link-layer type to
ARPHRD_IEEE802154 without initializing ieee802154_ptr. lowpan_newlink()
checks only the device type before dereferencing the pointer, so an
RTM_NEWLINK request can trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Reject devices without ieee802154_ptr along with devices of the wrong type. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix queue teardown NULL dma_free and bitmap locking
qla25xx_free_req_que() and qla25xx_free_rsp_que() have two pre-existing
bugs exposed on the error path of qla25xx_create_{req,rsp}_que():
1. When dma_alloc_coherent() fails during queue creation, the error
path calls the free function with req->ring / rsp->ring still NULL
(from kzalloc). The unconditional dma_free_coherent() with a NULL
cpu_addr is undefined behavior and can panic.
2. The free functions clear req_qid_map / rsp_qid_map under vport_lock,
but the create functions protect the same bitmaps with mq_lock.
This provides no mutual exclusion. Additionally, the create error
path clears the bit and releases mq_lock before calling the free
function, creating a window where another thread can allocate the
same que_id and have its ha->req_q_map entry clobbered by the
subsequent lockless NULL assignment in the free function.
Fix by:
- Guarding dma_free_coherent() with a NULL check on the ring pointer.
- Using mq_lock (the lock held by all creators) in the free functions
to atomically NULL the map entry and clear the bitmap bit.
- Removing the now-redundant clear_bit blocks from the create error
paths since the free functions handle it atomically. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: Add NULL check for chip->edcca_th in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
It was recently reported that rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
in fw.c dereferences rtwdev->chip->edcca_th without
a NULL check. The issue is that devices with the
8821CE chip don't define edcca_th in their chip
info. As a result, when rtw_fw_adaptivity_result()
tries to dereference it, the kernel triggers an oops.
Add a NULL check for edcca_th before dereferencing
it in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() in fw.c. Placing
the check at the function entry avoids logging any
garbage values.
This change does not address the root cause for
this behavior, but it prevents the NULL dereference
and the resulting oops while a more permanent solution
is developed.
Tested on a 8822CE chip which defines edcca_th, so
this issue is not present on it, but it still uses
this driver and I can verify there are no regressions. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dm1105: fix missing error check for dma_alloc_coherent
The return value of dm1105_dma_map(), which handles DMA memory allocation,
is ignored in dm1105_hw_init(). If dma_alloc_coherent() fails, the driver
will proceed using a NULL pointer for DMA transfers, leading to a kernel
oops or invalid hardware access.
Fix this by checking the return value and propagating -ENOMEM on failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ixp4xx - fix buffer chain unwind on allocation failure
chainup_buffers() builds a linked list of buffer descriptors for a
scatterlist. If dma_pool_alloc() fails while constructing the list, the
current code sets buf to NULL and later dereferences it unconditionally
at the end of the function:
buf->next = NULL;
buf->phys_next = 0;
This can lead to a null-pointer dereference on allocation failure.
If the failure happens after part of the descriptor chain has already
been allocated and DMA-mapped, the partially constructed chain also
needs to be released.
Fix this by terminating the partially constructed chain on allocation
failure and letting the callers unwind it via their existing cleanup
paths. Also fix ablk_perform() to preserve the hook pointers before
checking for failure, so partially built chains can be freed correctly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: davinci: avoid NULL deref of host->data in IRQ handler
mmc_davinci_irq() returns early only when both host->cmd and
host->data are NULL:
if (host->cmd == NULL && host->data == NULL) {
...
return IRQ_NONE;
}
So we may legitimately reach the rest of the handler with
host->data == NULL (and therefore data == NULL). The DATDNE branch
already guards against this with an explicit "if (data != NULL)"
check, but the subsequent TOUTRD ("read data timeout") and
CRCWR/CRCRD ("data CRC error") branches dereference data
unconditionally:
if (qstatus & MMCST0_TOUTRD) {
data->error = -ETIMEDOUT; <-- NULL deref
...
davinci_abort_data(host, data);
}
if (qstatus & (MMCST0_CRCWR | MMCST0_CRCRD)) {
data->error = -EILSEQ; <-- NULL deref
...
}
If either bit is set in qstatus while host->data is NULL, the kernel
will crash inside the IRQ handler. smatch flags this:
drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c:933 mmc_davinci_irq() error: we
previously assumed 'data' could be null (see line 914)
Gate both branches on a non-NULL data, matching the existing pattern
used by the DATDNE branch.
No functional change for callers where data is non-NULL, which is
the only case in which these branches did meaningful work before
this change. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbip: vhci_hcd: fix NULL deref in status_show_vhci
platform_get_drvdata() can return NULL if a VHCI host controller's
probe failed (e.g. due to USB bus number exhaustion). status_show_vhci()
checked for a NULL pdev but not for a NULL hcd returned by
platform_get_drvdata(). Passing NULL to hcd_to_vhci_hcd() does not
return NULL - it returns a pointer offset of 0x260, causing a NULL
pointer dereference when that value is subsequently dereferenced.
Add a NULL check on hcd before calling hcd_to_vhci_hcd(). Move
status_show_not_ready() above status_show_vhci() to make it callable
from the new error path without a forward declaration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: goku_udc: avoid NULL deref of dev->driver in INT_USBRESET log
goku_irq() handles a number of bus events under a single ep0 path.
It already guards the gadget driver suspend/resume callbacks against a
NULL ->driver:
if (dev->gadget.speed != USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN
&& dev->driver
&& dev->driver->resume) {
spin_unlock(&dev->lock);
dev->driver->resume(&dev->gadget);
...
}
but the very next branch unconditionally dereferences dev->driver
when an INT_USBRESET arrives:
if (stat & INT_USBRESET) {
ACK(INT_USBRESET);
INFO(dev, "USB reset done, gadget %s\n",
dev->driver->driver.name);
}
If the controller raises INT_USBRESET before any gadget driver has
been bound (or after one has been unbound), dev->driver is NULL and
the printk dereferences NULL.
smatch flags the inconsistency:
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/goku_udc.c:1618 goku_irq() error:
we previously assumed 'dev->driver' could be null (see line 1607)
Fall back to a placeholder when the gadget driver is not bound.
No functional change while a gadget driver is bound. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Fix NULL pointer dereference in acpi_ns_custom_package()
acpi_ns_custom_package() unconditionally dereferences the first element
of the package to read the _BIX version number, without checking for
NULL:
if ((*Elements)->Common.Type != ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER)
When firmware returns a _BIX package whose first element is an
unresolvable reference, ACPICA evaluates that entry to NULL.
acpi_ns_remove_null_elements() does not strip NULL entries for
ACPI_PTYPE_CUSTOM packages (fixed-position format would break if
elements were shifted), so acpi_ns_custom_package() sees the NULL
and causes a crash.
Add a NULL check for the first element (version field) before
dereferencing it. The caller then receives AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE
instead of crashing. |

[CAUSE]
system.ntfs_attrib updates ATTR_DATA flags via ni_new_attr_flags()
and switches i_mapping->a_ops to ntfs_aops_cmpr when
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED is set. system.dos_attrib then overwrites
ni->std_fa from a one-byte DOS attribute value, clearing the compression
bit without updating ATTR_DATA or the mapping operations.
Old buffered writes use is_compressed(ni) to choose
__generic_file_write_iter(). That leaves generic_perform_write() calling
a NULL write_begin callback from ntfs_aops_cmpr.
[FIX]
Treat system.dos_attrib as a low-byte DOS attribute update and preserve the
existing non-DOS attribute bits in ni->std_fa. This keeps compressed and
sparse state consistent with ATTR_DATA and the mapping operations while
keeping the existing DOS attribute semantics intact. |
