A flaw was found in nano. A local user could exploit a format string vulnerability in the `statusline()` function. By creating a directory with a name containing `printf` specifiers, the application attempts to display this name, leading to a segmentation fault (SEGV). This results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the `nano` application.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix possible NULL-pointer deref in mt7925_mcu_bss_he_tlv() mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap routine can theoretically return NULL so check cap pointer before dereferencing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smp: Make CSD lock acquisition atomic for debug mode Commit b0473dcd4b1d ("smp: Improve smp_call_function_single() CSD-lock diagnostics") changed smp_call_function_single() so that, when CSD lock debugging is enabled, async !wait calls use the destination CPU csd_data. That improves diagnostics, but it also removes the single-writer property that made the old csd_lock() safe: multiple CPUs can now prepare the same destination CPU CSD concurrently. csd_lock() currently waits for CSD_FLAG_LOCK to clear and then sets the bit with a non-atomic read-modify-write. Two senders can both see an unlocked CSD, set the bit, overwrite the callback fields, and enqueue the same llist node. Re-adding a node that is already the queue head can make node->next point to itself, leaving the target CPU stuck walking call_single_queue. Later synchronous work, such as a TLB shootdown, can then remain queued and trigger soft-lockup warnings...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: Fit paired fragment job in the correct CCCB For geometry jobs with a paired fragment job, at the moment, the DRM scheduler's prepare_job() callback: - checks for internal (driver) dependencies for the geometry job; - calls into pvr_queue_get_paired_frag_job_dep() to check for external dependencies for the fragment job (the two jobs are submitted together but the common scheduler code doesn't know about it, so this needs to be done at this point in time); - calls into the prepare_job() callback again, but for the fragment job, to check its internal dependencies as well, passing the fragment job's drm_sched_job and the geometry job's drm_sched_entity / pvr_queue. The problem with the last step is that pvr_queue_prepare_job() doesn't always take the mismatched fragment job and geometry queue into account, in particular when checking whether there is space for the fragment command to be submitted, so th...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: use kvzalloc to allocate struct dc struct dc has grown large over time (most of it the two inlined dc_scratch_space copies) and now sits close to the page allocator's 4 MiB contiguous allocation limit. Its actual size is not fixed by the source alone, it also depends on the compiler and the .config, so it can easily cross 4 MiB, e.g. with a newer GCC or a config change. dc_create() allocates it with kzalloc(). Once struct dc exceeds 4 MiB the request is rounded up to order 11 (8 MiB), which is above MAX_PAGE_ORDER, so the page allocator warns and returns NULL. dc_create() then fails, DM init fails and amdgpu probe aborts with -EINVAL: WARNING: mm/page_alloc.c:5197 at __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0x2f9/0x380 dc_create+0x38/0x660 [amdgpu] amdgpu_dm_init+0x2d9/0x510 [amdgpu] dm_hw_init+0x1b/0x90 [amdgpu] amdgpu_device_init.cold+0x150d/0x1e13 [amdgpu] amdgpu_driver_load_kms+0x19/0x80 [amdgpu] amdgpu_pci_...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Fix address space mismatch in kexec command line lookup When searching the loaded segments for the "kexec" command line marker, the kexec_load(2) path (file_mode == 0) passes the user-space segment buffer straight to strncmp() through a bogus (char __user *) cast. This dereferences a user pointer in kernel context, which is wrong and is flagged by sparse: arch/loongarch/kernel/machine_kexec.c:84:51: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected char const * @@ got char [noderef] __user * Here copy the marker-sized prefix of each segment into a small on-stack buffer with copy_from_user() before comparing, and skip segments that fault. The subsequent copy_from_user() that stages the full command line into the safe area is left unchanged.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: 8250_mid: Fix NULL function pointer dereference on DNV/ICX-D/SNR platforms Commit b1b4efea05a5 ("serial: 8250_mid: Disable DMA for selected platforms") replaced the dnv_board setup and exit callbacks with PTR_IF(false, ...), which evaluates to NULL. However, the three call sites in mid8250_probe() and mid8250_remove() unconditionally dereference these function pointers without NULL checks, causing a NULL pointer dereference (kernel oops) on any Denverton (DNV), Ice Lake Xeon D (ICX-D/CDF), or Snowridge (SNR) platform. Fix this by adding the missing NULL checks before calling the setup and exit callbacks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: bound get_version reply decode to front len handle_get_version_reply() uses msg->front_alloc_len as the decode boundary for MON_GET_VERSION_REPLY. That is the size of the reused reply buffer, not the number of bytes actually received. A truncated reply can therefore pass ceph_decode_need() and decode the second u64 from stale tail bytes left in the buffer by an earlier message, causing an uninitialized memory read. Use msg->front.iov_len as the receive-side decode boundary, matching other libceph reply handlers and limiting decoding to the bytes that were actually read from the wire.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and the sticky underlay netns vxlan->net. They differ once the device is created in or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a caller privileged there but not in vxlan->net can rewrite a vxlan device whose underlay lives in vxlan->net. vxlan_changelink() validates and applies the new configuration against vxlan->net (vxlan_config_validate(vxlan->net, ...)) and can reopen the underlay socket in that netns, so the same reasoning as the tunnel changelink series applies here. Gate vxlan_changelink() with rtnl_dev_link_net_capable(), at the top of the op before any attribute is parsed, matching ipgre_changelink() and the rest of the "require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink" series. F...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: validate minimum PDU size for transform requests The receive path applies the minimum SMB2 PDU size check only when ProtocolId is SMB2_PROTO_NUMBER. A packet carrying SMB2_TRANSFORM_PROTO_NUM bypasses the check even when the negotiated dialect does not provide transform handling. On an SMB 2.1 connection, a short transform packet therefore reaches init_smb2_rsp_hdr(), which interprets the request as a full SMB2 header and reads beyond the request allocation. The copied fields can then be returned to the unauthenticated client. Compression transforms are converted to ordinary SMB2 messages before protocol validation. After that conversion, validate ordinary SMB2 requests against SMB2_MIN_SUPPORTED_PDU_SIZE and require encryption transform requests to contain both a transform header and an SMB2 header. This rejects truncated requests before work allocation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/gfx8: drop unecessary BUG_ON() There's no need to crash the kernel for this case. (cherry picked from commit 4d7c25208ca612b754f3bf39e9f16e725b828891)

A flaw was found in nano. In environments with permissive umask settings, a local attacker can exploit incorrect directory permissions (0777 instead of 0700) for the `~/.local` directory. This allows the attacker to inject a malicious `.desktop` launcher, which could lead to unintended actions or information disclosure if the launcher is subsequently processed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/dp_mst: Handle torn-down topology gracefully in drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe() A hotplug or link-loss event can tear down the MST topology (setting mgr->mst_state = false and mgr->mst_primary = NULL) concurrently with a caller invoking drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe(). Since the check is already performed under mgr->lock, the condition is not a programming error but a valid race -- the topology was valid when the caller decided to call this function, but was torn down before the lock was acquired. Replace the drm_WARN_ON() with a graceful early return. This eliminates spurious kernel warnings and the resulting compositor crashes observed when connecting/disconnecting DP MST monitors, while keeping the correct behavior of doing nothing when MST is not active. A drm_dbg_mst() trace is added so the skipped probe remains observable under MST debug logging. The existing WARN_ON(mgr->mst_primary) in drm_dp_mst_top...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: Fix use-after-free on vendor module reload mmu_destroy_caches() destroys pte_list_desc_cache and mmu_page_header_cache, but leaves both pointers unchanged. The pointers live in kvm.ko, and therefore survive when a vendor module is unloaded while kvm.ko remains loaded. If creation of pte_list_desc_cache fails during a subsequent vendor module load, its assignment sets pte_list_desc_cache to NULL and the error path calls mmu_destroy_caches(). mmu_page_header_cache still points to the cache destroyed during the preceding vendor module unload. Passing that stale pointer to kmem_cache_destroy() causes a slab use-after-free. Reproduce the issue on a v7.1.3 kernel with CONFIG_KASAN=y, CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC=y, CONFIG_KVM=m, and CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m. A one-shot test hook forces pte_list_desc_cache to NULL on the second invocation of kvm_mmu_vendor_module_init(): 1. Load kvm.ko and kvm-intel.ko, creating both c...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpu: host1x: Fix use-after-free in host1x_bo_clear_cached_mappings __host1x_bo_unpin() drops the last reference to the mapping and frees it, so we can't dereference mapping afterwards. The cache itself outlives the mapping, so use the cache local variable instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: fix stale skb->prev after async crypto steals a GSO segment skb_gso_segment() leaves the segment list head with ->prev pointing at the last segment, an invariant validate_xmit_skb_list() relies on when it sets its tail pointer (tail = skb->prev). When validate_xmit_xfrm() walks a GSO list and some segments are stolen by async crypto (->xmit() returns -EINPROGRESS), those segments are unlinked from the list but the head ->prev is never updated. If the last segment is the one stolen, the returned head still has ->prev pointing at it, even though it is now owned by the crypto engine and may be freed. validate_xmit_skb_list() later does tail->next = skb, writing through that stale pointer -- a use-after-free. Repoint skb->prev at the last retained segment before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: IB/mad: Drop unmatched RMPP responses before reassembly Kernel-handled RMPP receive processing starts reassembly for active DATA responses before the response is matched to an outstanding send. The normal match happens later, after ib_process_rmpp_recv_wc() has either assembled a complete message or consumed the segment. That ordering lets an unsolicited response that routes to a kernel RMPP agent by the high TID bits allocate or extend RMPP receive state before the full TID and source address are checked against a real request. A reordered burst can therefore reach the receive-side insertion path even though the response would not match any send. For kernel-handled RMPP DATA responses, require the existing ib_find_send_mad() match before entering RMPP reassembly. The matcher already checks the full TID, management class and source address/GID against the agent wait, backlog and in-flight send lists. If there is no ...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: virt_concat: fix use-after-free in mtd_virt_concat_destroy_joins() mtd_concat_destroy() frees item->concat so calling mtd_virt_concat_put_mtd_devices(item->concat) leads to a use after free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix root leak if its reloc root is unexpected in merge_reloc_roots() If we have an unexpected reloc_root for our root, we jump to the out label but never drop the reference we obtained for root, resulting in a leak. Add a missing btrfs_put_root() call.
