| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: reject negative ifindex
Recent changes in net-next (commit 759ab1edb56c ("net: store netdevs
in an xarray")) refactored the handling of pre-assigned ifindexes
and let syzbot surface a latent problem in ovs. ovs does not validate
ifindex, making it possible to create netdev ports with negative
ifindex values. It's easy to repro with YNL:
$ ./cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ovs_datapath.yaml \
--do new \
--json '{"upcall-pid": 1, "name":"my-dp"}'
$ ./cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ovs_vport.yaml \
--do new \
--json '{"upcall-pid": "00000001", "name": "some-port0", "dp-ifindex":3,"ifindex":4294901760,"type":2}'
$ ip link show
-65536: some-port0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 7a:48:21:ad:0b:fb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
...
Validate the inputs. Now the second command correctly returns:
$ ./cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ovs_vport.yaml \
--do new \
--json '{"upcall-pid": "00000001", "name": "some-port0", "dp-ifindex":3,"ifindex":4294901760,"type":2}'

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/deadline: only set free_cpus for online runqueues
Commit 16b269436b72 ("sched/deadline: Modify cpudl::free_cpus
to reflect rd->online") introduced the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu
functions to allow the cpu_dl::free_cpus mask to be manipulated
by the deadline scheduler class rq_on/offline callbacks so the
mask would also reflect this state.
Commit 9659e1eeee28 ("sched/deadline: Remove cpu_active_mask
from cpudl_find()") removed the check of the cpu_active_mask to
save some processing on the premise that the cpudl::free_cpus
mask already reflected the runqueue online state.
Unfortunately, there are cases where it is possible for the
cpudl_clear function to set the free_cpus bit for a CPU when the
deadline runqueue is offline. When this occurs while a CPU is
connected to the default root domain the flag may retain the bad
state after the CPU has been unplugged. Later, a different CPU
that is transitioning through the default root domain may push a
deadline task to the powered down CPU when cpudl_find sees its
free_cpus bit is set. If this happens the task will not have the
opportunity to run.
One example is outlined here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250110233010.2339521-1-opendmb@gmail.com
Another occurs when the last deadline task is migrated from a
CPU that has an offlined runqueue. The dequeue_task member of
the deadline scheduler class will eventually call cpudl_clear
and set the free_cpus bit for the CPU.
This commit modifies the cpudl_clear function to be aware of the
online state of the deadline runqueue so that the free_cpus mask
can be updated appropriately.
It is no longer necessary to manage the mask outside of the
cpudl_set/clear functions so the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu
functions are removed. In addition, since the free_cpus mask is
now only updated under the cpudl lock the code was changed to
use the non-atomic __cpumask functions. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: cleanup remaining SKBs in PTP flows
When the driver requests Tx timestamp value, one of the first steps is
to clone SKB using skb_get. It increases the reference counter for that
SKB to prevent unexpected freeing by another component.
However, there may be a case where the index is requested, SKB is
assigned and never consumed by PTP flows - for example due to reset during
running PTP apps.
Add a check in release timestamping function to verify if the SKB
assigned to Tx timestamp latch was freed, and release remaining SKBs. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix double unregister of HCA_PORTS component
Clear hca_devcom_comp in device's private data after unregistering it in
LAG teardown. Otherwise a slightly lagging second pass through
mlx5_unload_one() might try to unregister it again and trip over
use-after-free.
On s390 almost all PCI level recovery events trigger two passes through
mxl5_unload_one() - one through the poll_health() method and one through
mlx5_pci_err_detected() as callback from generic PCI error recovery.
While testing PCI error recovery paths with more kernel debug features
enabled, this issue reproducibly led to kernel panics with the following
call chain:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/bridge: it6505: Initialize AUX channel in it6505_i2c_probe
During device boot, the HPD interrupt could be triggered before the DRM
subsystem registers it6505 as a DRM bridge. In such cases, the driver
tries to access AUX channel and causes NULL pointer dereference.
Initializing the AUX channel earlier to prevent such error. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: Fix error handling for SOCK_DGRAM in kcm_sendmsg().
syzkaller found a memory leak in kcm_sendmsg(), and commit c821a88bd720
("kcm: Fix memory leak in error path of kcm_sendmsg()") suppressed it by
updating kcm_tx_msg(head)->last_skb if partial data is copied so that the
following sendmsg() will resume from the skb.
However, we cannot know how many bytes were copied when we get the error.
Thus, we could mess up the MSG_MORE queue.
When kcm_sendmsg() fails for SOCK_DGRAM, we should purge the queue as we
do so for UDP by udp_flush_pending_frames().
Even without this change, when the error occurred, the following sendmsg()
resumed from a wrong skb and the queue was messed up. However, we have
yet to get such a report, and only syzkaller stumbled on it. So, this
can be changed safely.
Note this does not change SOCK_SEQPACKET behaviour. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-timers: Prevent RT livelock in itimer_delete()
itimer_delete() has a retry loop when the timer is concurrently expired. On
non-RT kernels this just spin-waits until the timer callback has completed,
except for posix CPU timers which have HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK
enabled.
In that case and on RT kernels the existing task could live lock when
preempting the task which does the timer delivery.
Replace spin_unlock() with an invocation of timer_wait_running() to handle
it the same way as the other retry loops in the posix timer code. |
| Improper input validation in the Linux kernel-mode driver for some Intel(R) 700 Series Ethernet before version 2.28.5 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new Tx rings via ethtool
When the user changes the number of queues via ethtool, the driver
allocates new rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This
results in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and
would result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit
timestamp on the new ring. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Improve page fault error reporting
If IOMMU domain for device group is not setup properly then we may hit
IOMMU page fault. Current page fault handler assumes that domain is
always setup and it will hit NULL pointer derefence (see below sample log).
Lets check whether domain is setup or not and log appropriate message.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtl818x: rtl8187: Fix potential buffer underflow in rtl8187_rx_cb()
The rtl8187_rx_cb() calculates the rx descriptor header address
by subtracting its size from the skb tail pointer.
However, it does not validate if the received packet
(skb->len from urb->actual_length) is large enough to contain this
header.
If a truncated packet is received, this will lead to a buffer
underflow, reading memory before the start of the skb data area,
and causing a kernel panic.
Add length checks for both rtl8187 and rtl8187b descriptor headers
before attempting to access them, dropping the packet cleanly if the
check fails. |

ACPI: EC: Fix oops when removing custom query handlers
When removing custom query handlers, the handler might still
be used inside the EC query workqueue, causing a kernel oops
if the module holding the callback function was already unloaded.
Fix this by flushing the EC query workqueue when removing
custom query handlers.

nfp: clean mc addresses in application firmware when closing port
When moving devices from one namespace to another, mc addresses are
cleaned in software while not removed from application firmware. Thus
the mc addresses are remained and will cause resource leak.
Now use `__dev_mc_unsync` to clean mc addresses when closing port. |

btrfs: don't free qgroup space unless specified
Boris noticed in his simple quotas testing that he was getting a leak
with Sweet Tea's change to subvol create that stopped doing a
transaction commit. This was just a side effect of that change.
In the delayed inode code we have an optimization that will free extra
reservations if we think we can pack a dir item into an already modified
leaf. Previously this wouldn't be triggered in the subvolume create
case because we'd commit the transaction, it was still possible but
much harder to trigger. It could actually be triggered if we did a
mkdir && subvol create with qgroups enabled.
This occurs because in btrfs_insert_delayed_dir_index(), which gets
called when we're adding the dir item, we do the following:
btrfs_block_rsv_release(fs_info, trans->block_rsv, bytes, NULL);
if we're able to skip reserving space.
The problem here is that trans->block_rsv points at the temporary block
rsv for the subvolume create, which has qgroup reservations in the block
rsv.
This is a problem because btrfs_block_rsv_release() will do the
following:
if (block_rsv->qgroup_rsv_reserved >= block_rsv->qgroup_rsv_size) {
qgroup_to_release = block_rsv->qgroup_rsv_reserved -
block_rsv->qgroup_rsv_size;
block_rsv->qgroup_rsv_reserved = block_rsv->qgroup_rsv_size;
}
The temporary block rsv just has ->qgroup_rsv_reserved set,
->qgroup_rsv_size == 0. The optimization in
btrfs_insert_delayed_dir_index() sets ->qgroup_rsv_reserved = 0. Then
later on when we call btrfs_subvolume_release_metadata() which has
btrfs_block_rsv_release(fs_info, rsv, (u64)-1, &qgroup_to_release);
btrfs_qgroup_convert_reserved_meta(root, qgroup_to_release);
qgroup_to_release is set to 0, and we do not convert the reserved
metadata space.
The problem here is that the block rsv code has been unconditionally
messing with ->qgroup_rsv_reserved, because the main place this is used
is delalloc, and any time we call btrfs_block_rsv_release() we do it
with qgroup_to_release set, and thus do the proper accounting.
The subvolume code is the only other code that uses the qgroup
reservation stuff, but it's intermingled with the above optimization,
and thus was getting its reservation freed out from underneath it and
thus leaking the reserved space.
The solution is to simply not mess with the qgroup reservations if we
don't have qgroup_to_release set. This works with the existing code as
anything that messes with the delalloc reservations always have
qgroup_to_release set. This fixes the leak that Boris was observing. |

| PureVPN client applications on Linux through September 2025 mishandle firewalling. They flush the system's existing iptables rules and apply default ACCEPT policies when connecting to a VPN server. This removes firewall rules that may have been configured manually or by other software (e.g., UFW, container engines, or system security policies). Upon VPN disconnect, the original firewall state is not restored. As a result, the system may become unintentionally exposed to network traffic that was previously blocked. This affects CLI 2.0.1 and GUI 2.10.0. |
