Title
xsk: Harden userspace-supplied xdp_desc validation
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: Harden userspace-supplied xdp_desc validation
Turned out certain clearly invalid values passed in xdp_desc from
userspace can pass xp_{,un}aligned_validate_desc() and then lead
to UBs or just invalid frames to be queued for xmit.
desc->len close to ``U32_MAX`` with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len
can cause positive integer overflow and wraparound, the same way low
enough desc->addr with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len can cause
negative integer overflow. Both scenarios can then pass the
validation successfully.
This doesn't happen with valid XSk applications, but can be used
to perform attacks.
Always promote desc->len to ``u64`` first to exclude positive
overflows of it. Use explicit check_{add,sub}_overflow() when
validating desc->addr (which is ``u64`` already).
bloat-o-meter reports a little growth of the code size:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 60/-16 (44)
Function old new delta
xskq_cons_peek_desc 299 330 +31
xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch 973 1002 +29
xsk_generic_xmit 3148 3132 -16
but hopefully this doesn't hurt the performance much.

For historical and portability reasons, the netif_rx() is usually
run in the softirq or interrupt context, this commit therefore add
local_bh_disable/enable() protection in the usbnet_resume_rx().

smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match().
smc_clc_prfx_match() is called from smc_listen_work() and
not under RCU nor RTNL.
Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.
Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu().
Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_match() is not
used in the caller.

bpf: Reject negative offsets for ALU ops
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject negative offsets for ALU ops
When verifying BPF programs, the check_alu_op() function validates
instructions with ALU operations. The 'offset' field in these
instructions is a signed 16-bit integer.
The existing check 'insn->off > 1' was intended to ensure the offset is
either 0, or 1 for BPF_MOD/BPF_DIV. However, because 'insn->off' is
signed, this check incorrectly accepts all negative values (e.g., -1).
This commit tightens the validation by changing the condition to
'(insn->off != 0 && insn->off != 1)'. This ensures that any value
other than the explicitly permitted 0 and 1 is rejected, hardening the
verifier against malformed BPF programs.

7.8 (High)

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached through the local `bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD)` syscall, which invokes `bpf_check()` \u2192 `do_check()` \u2192 `check_alu_op()`. Although the resulting program later executes on packet receive, loading the malformed instruction requires local system access.\nAC:L - Exploitation is fully deterministic: emit a `BPF_DIV`/`BPF_MOD` instruction with `off = -1`, set the dividend to `LLONG_MIN` and the divisor to `-1`, and run it. There is no race, no timing window, and no dependence on memory layout or system state the attacker cannot control.\nPR:L - `sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled` defaults to 0 unless `CONFIG_BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF` is built in (Android and many embedded/distro configs leave it enabled), and `kernel/bpf/syscall.c:2941` explicitly permits `BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER` and `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB` loads with no `bpf_cap`; the program is then triggered via `SO_ATTACH_BPF` on the attacker\u0027s own socket. Where unprivileged BPF is disabled, `bpf_token_capable()` grants `ns_capable()`-level CAP_BPF inside a delegated user namespace, so real root is never required.\nUI:N - The attacker loads and triggers the BPF program entirely on their own, by attaching it to a socket they own and sending themselves a packet. No victim action of any kind is involved.\nS:U - The verifier bypass, the JIT\u0027d signed division, and the resulting fault all occur within the kernel\u0027s own security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary is crossed.\nC:H - On the s390 JIT the `switch (off)` in the DIV/MOD handlers has no default, so no divide instruction is emitted while the trailing `lgr %dst,%rc` still executes, copying the uninitialized kernel scratch register `%r0`/`%r1` \u2014 potentially a kernel pointer \u2014 into a BPF register that the program can write to a map and read from userspace, repeatably and at attacker-chosen program points. The x86 divide-error oops additionally dumps full register and stack state, defeating KASLR.\nI:H - The verifier accepts an instruction whose runtime semantics it never models \u2014 the JIT executes a signed division while the fixup layer applies only the unsigned guards, and on s390 uncontrolled kernel register contents are injected into verified program state. This is a verifier validation bypass in which JIT-emitted code and the verifier\u0027s model of that code diverge, so integrity of the sandbox\u0027s guarantees is not preserved.\nA:H - Because `is_sdiv`/`is_smod` in `do_misc_fixups()` test `insn-\u003eoff == 1`, the `LLONG_MIN sdiv -1` overflow guards are skipped while the x86-64 JIT still emits `cqo; idiv`, producing a #DE with no exception-table entry \u2014 `do_trap()` reaches `die(\"divide error\")`, oopsing the kernel. Triggered from a socket-filter/tc/XDP program this fires in softirq context, yielding \"Fatal exception in interrupt\" and a full system panic."

nvmet-fc: move lsop put work to nvmet_fc_ls_req_op
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-fc: move lsop put work to nvmet_fc_ls_req_op
It’s possible for more than one async command to be in flight from
__nvmet_fc_send_ls_req. For each command, a tgtport reference is taken.
In the current code, only one put work item is queued at a time, which
results in a leaked reference.
To fix this, move the work item to the nvmet_fc_ls_req_op struct, which
already tracks all resources related to the command.

No memory-layout or victim-state condition is involved.\nPR:N - `nvmet_fc_ls_create_association()` and `nvmet_fc_ls_disconnect()` validate only LS descriptor lengths and tags; there is no host-NQN allow-list check, NVMe Connect, or authentication on this path. Any initiator that can reach the target port exercises it pre-authentication.\nUI:N - The leak is produced entirely by attacker-sent Link Service frames handled asynchronously by the target. No administrator or local user action is required.\nS:U - The leaked reference, stranded allocation, and failed teardown are all confined to the kernel of the target host. No security authority boundary such as a VM or IOMMU domain is crossed.\nC:N - The defect is purely a missed `kref_put()`; nothing is freed early, read out of bounds, or returned to the attacker. Tracing the coalescing shows it can only drop puts, never duplicate them, so no use-after-free read primitive exists.\nI:N - No memory is corrupted or written out of bounds \u2014 the refcount only ever ends too high, so no write or control-flow-hijack primitive arises. lpfc additionally guards its on-stack completion in `lpfc_nvmet_targetport_delete()`, closing the only late-completion write hazard.\nA:H - The tgtport is never freed, so `nvmet_fc_free_ls_iodlist()` and `targetport_delete` never run: `lpfc_nvmet_destroy_targetport()` stalls for `LPFC_NVMET_WAIT_TMO` (5 s) and then aborts with an error, permanently stranding the target port, its HBA DMA mappings, and a `get_device()` reference that no longer can be released without a reboot."

Title
accel/qaic: Treat remaining == 0 as error in find_and_map_user_pages()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/qaic: Treat remaining == 0 as error in find_and_map_user_pages()
Currently, if find_and_map_user_pages() takes a DMA xfer request from the
user with a length field set to 0, or in a rare case, the host receives
QAIC_TRANS_DMA_XFER_CONT from the device where resources->xferred_dma_size
is equal to the requested transaction size, the function will return 0
before allocating an sgt or setting the fields of the dma_xfer struct.
In that case, encode_addr_size_pairs() will try to access the sgt which
will lead to a general protection fault.
Return an EINVAL in case the user provides a zero-sized ALP, or the device
requests continuation after all of the bytes have been transferred.

There is no network-facing path into qaic_manage_ioctl().\nAC:L - A single ioctl carrying a QAIC_TRANS_DMA_XFER_FROM_USR transaction with the user-controlled size field set to 0 deterministically makes find_and_map_user_pages() return 0 with xfer-\u003esgt/page_list/nr_pages uninitialized; no race and no attacker-independent condition is involved. Grooming the kmalloc-64 slab so the stale sgt is a usable pointer is fully under attacker control via a preceding legitimate DMA xfer.\nPR:L - The QAIC_MANAGE ioctl is registered with flags 0 \u2014 no DRM_ROOT_ONLY, no CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and no DRM_AUTH check \u2014 so any unprivileged process able to open the accel node (the normal case for inference/compute workloads and containers on AIC100 hosts) can trigger it. No capability is verified anywhere along encode_message() \u2192 encode_dma() \u2192 find_and_map_user_pages().\nUI:N - The attacker issues the ioctl directly from their own process; no victim action, mount, or file open is needed.\nS:U - The uninitialized-pointer use and resulting corruption occur within the kernel\u0027s own security authority, the same authority the attacker escalates into. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed as a required part of the impact.\nC:H - Using uninitialized heap memory as a struct sg_table pointer causes reads of arbitrary kernel memory via sgt-\u003enents and the sg walk, and those harvested sg_dma_address/sg_dma_len values are encoded into the message sent to the accelerator, disclosing kernel-controlled DMA addresses off-host to the device. The resulting stale-pointer/double-free state is a general heap corruption primitive leveragable for arbitrary read.\nI:H - free_dma_xfers() unconditionally performs dma_unmap_sgtable(), sg_free_table(), kfree() on the uninitialized sgt and put_page()/kfree() over the uninitialized page_list and nr_pages, yielding arbitrary/double free and page refcount underflow on attacker-groomed pointers. Combined with feeding attacker-influenced addresses to the device\u0027s DMA engine, this is exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The commit itself documents that encode_addr_size_pairs() dereferences the unset sgt and produces a general protection fault, i.e. a kernel oops/panic, and it is triggerable repeatedly by any local user with device access. The double-free and page refcount corruption paths cause further fatal kernel faults."

Title
net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth
Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev->needed_headroom, too.
While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in
commit 5ae1e9922bbd ("net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth"),
ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling.
Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version.
Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who was originally debugging this issue
and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.

Title
tls: wait for pending async decryptions if tls_strp_msg_hold fails
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: wait for pending async decryptions if tls_strp_msg_hold fails
Async decryption calls tls_strp_msg_hold to create a clone of the
input skb to hold references to the memory it uses. If we fail to
allocate that clone, proceeding with async decryption can lead to
various issues (UAF on the skb, writing into userspace memory after
the recv() call has returned).
In this case, wait for all pending decryption requests.

Title
bpf: Fix metadata_dst leak __bpf_redirect_neigh_v{4,6}
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix metadata_dst leak __bpf_redirect_neigh_v{4,6}
Cilium has a BPF egress gateway feature which forces outgoing K8s Pod
traffic to pass through dedicated egress gateways which then SNAT the
traffic in order to interact with stable IPs outside the cluster.
The traffic is directed to the gateway via vxlan tunnel in collect md
mode. A recent BPF change utilized the bpf_redirect_neigh() helper to
forward packets after the arrival and decap on vxlan, which turned out
over time that the kmalloc-256 slab usage in kernel was ever-increasing.
The issue was that vxlan allocates the metadata_dst object and attaches
it through a fake dst entry to the skb. The latter was never released
though given bpf_redirect_neigh() was merely setting the new dst entry
via skb_dst_set() without dropping an existing one first.
