A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's au1000 network driver has been addressed. The au1000_close() function called free_irq() while holding a spinlock, which could cause a sleeping function to be called from an invalid context. This issue was identified through static analysis and manual review. The vulnerability could lead to system instability if exploited. Linux kernel developers and maintainers should [truncated]
A Linux kernel vulnerability allows the system to hang or fail to resume cleanly when an SPI controller operating in target mode has a transfer in progress during system suspend. The fix invokes the controller's target_abort callback to terminate the transfer before suspension. This issue affects Linux kernel configurations using SPI controllers in target mode, potentially leading to system instability du [truncated]
A crafted btrfs image can trigger a crash in the Linux kernel due to a vulnerability in the tree-checker that fails to validate INODE_REF's namelen. This issue can cause an out-of-boundary access and result in a kernel panic. The vulnerability is caused by a namelen of 4096, which exceeds the normal name length limit of 255. Linux kernel developers and administrators should be aware of this vulnerability [truncated]
A memory leak vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd module. The ndr_encode_v4_ntacl() function allocates memory for sd_ndr.data but fails to free it in case of subsequent errors during encoding. This issue has been resolved by moving the kfree(sd_ndr.data) call to the out label to ensure the buffer is released on all success and error return paths.
A memory leak and invalid error handling vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd module. The vulnerability occurs when the ndr_decode_v4_ntacl() function fails, causing the code to jump to free_n_data, which only frees n.data and skips kfree(acl.sd_buf), resulting in a memory leak. Additionally, if acl.sd_size is less than sizeof(struct smb_ntsd), the original code returns success without free [truncated]
A high-severity vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically a double fput() issue in cachefiles_create_tmpfile().

Linux kernel developers and maintainers should review their module unload procedures to ensure proper cleanu [truncated]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ALSA usb-audio caiaq driver has been addressed. The vulnerability involves improper validation of EP1 reply lengths in the usb_ep1_command_reply_dispatch() function, which could lead to out-of-bounds reads. The issue has been resolved by adding per-command length checks and using a payload length derived from the bytes after the command byte for the control-state copy.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's rsi wifi driver could allow an attacker to read past the supplied key buffer when loading keys for non-TKIP ciphers. This vulnerability arises from the driver's unconditional copying of tx_mic_key and rx_mic_key from data[16] and data[24] without checking the cipher type, potentially leading to buffer over-reads. Defenders should verify and apply kernel updates, restr [truncated]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's cfg80211 has been resolved. The vulnerability involves validating association response length before accessing status and IE fields. This issue has been patched in the Linux kernel to prevent potential exploitation through wireless connections. Linux kernel system administrators and security teams should verify patch application, particularly for systems using cfg8021 [truncated]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's cfg80211 component has been addressed. The issue involves validating rx/tx MLME callback frame lengths before access. The kernel's cfg80211_rx_mlme_mgmt() and cfg80211_tx_mlme_mgmt() functions did not properly validate frame lengths, potentially leading to out-of-bounds reads. This has been resolved by adding frame-control length checks and validating subtype minimum frame sizes.
A race condition vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mac80211 IBSS disconnect handling could lead to drivers receiving invalid queue requests. The issue arises when the carrier is turned off after station flushing, allowing for in-flight TX packets to be transmitted. To address this, the carrier off operation is moved before station flushing, and synchronize_net() is added if flushing didn't occur. This c [truncated]

The vulnerability was resolved with a patch that validates the beacon length against the actual tailroom before the copy and skb_put. Linux kernel maintainers, developer [truncated]
A high-severity vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel, affecting the smb/client component. The vulnerability is caused by the lack of zero-initialization of stack-allocated cifs_open_info_data, which can lead to incorrect field values if not set later. This issue requires immediate attention from Linux kernel maintainers, administrators, and users of the smb/client component to assess exposu [truncated]
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's btrfs module. When relocation fails in insert_dirty_subvol(), a root's reloc_root field may point to a freed reloc root, leading to a use-after-free or double free attempt during unmount. This vulnerability requires verification of patches and monitoring of system behavior to prevent potential crashes or data corruption. The issue arises from a s [truncated]

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iwlwifi pcie component has been resolved. When iwl_pcie_tx_init() fails after RX init, the nic init unwinds via iwl_pcie_rx_free(). However, the freed RX members stayed non-NULL on the live transport object, allowing later teardown or retry to touch stale RX state. To address this issue, rx_pool, global_table, rxq, and alloc_page are set to NULL after free to make rep [truncated]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's blk-cgroup subsystem has been addressed. The issue involves a fix for leaks and the online flag on radix_tree_insert failure. When radix_tree_insert() fails in blkg_create(), the error path had two problems: it unconditionally set blkg->online to true, even if the blkg was never fully inserted, and it called blkg_put() without first calling percpu_ref_kill(), leading [truncated]
A Linux kernel vulnerability allows data to be reported as present after punching a hole in a file, due to dirty data not being flushed before hole creation. This occurs because a dirty folio spanning the punched range can be written back after the punch and refill the hole. The vulnerability affects Linux system administrators and users with file systems relying on Linux kernel functionality. To address [truncated]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iwlwifi driver has been addressed. The issue involves validating the layout of TX_CMD responses.
