| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm era: fix NULL pointer dereference in metadata_open()
metadata_open() returns NULL when kzalloc_obj() fails, but the
caller era_ctr() only checks IS_ERR(md). Since IS_ERR(NULL)
returns false, the NULL pointer is treated as a valid result
and later assigned to era->md, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference when the metadata is accessed.
Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on allocation failure,
consistent with dm-cache-metadata.c, dm-thin-metadata.c, and
dm-clone-metadata.c which all use ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) for the
same pattern. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix NULL h_transaction deref in ocfs2_assure_trans_credits
[BUG]
A direct write over unwritten extents can panic the kernel in
ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() when the journal aborts during DIO
completion. The crash is a general protection fault from a NULL pointer
dereference.
[CAUSE]
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() loops over a direct write's unwritten extents,
marking each written under a single journal handle. If the journal
aborts (for example after an I/O error) while the extent tree is being
updated, the handle is left aborted with its transaction pointer
cleared. The extent merge treats that failure as not critical and
reports success, so the loop keeps using the handle.
ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() reads the handle's remaining credits
without first checking whether the handle is aborted, and that read
dereferences the cleared transaction pointer.
[FIX]
A journal abort is recorded in the handle itself, so callers are
expected to test the handle rather than rely on a returned error.
Make ocfs2_assure_trans_credits() do that, as the other ocfs2 journal
helpers already do, and return -EROFS when the handle is aborted. |

firmware: arm_ffa: Fix NULL dereference in ffa_partition_info_get()
ffa_partition_info_get() passes uuid_str directly to uuid_parse()
without a NULL check. When a caller passes NULL, uuid_parse() ->
__uuid_parse() -> uuid_is_valid() dereferences the pointer, causing
a kernel panic:

| pc : uuid_parse+0x40/0xac
| lr : ffa_partition_info_get+0x1c/0x94 [arm_ffa]
Add a NULL guard before uuid_parse() so a NULL argument returns
-ENODEV instead of crashing. Callers are expected to always supply
a valid partition UUID, so NULL is not a supported input. |
| 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. |

bonding: fix devconf_all NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the devconf_all is
never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init() is
called which initializes it. bond_send_validate(), however, will still
call bond_ns_send_all() even ipv6 is indeed disabled. It will lead to
NULL derefence of net->ipv6.devconf_all in ip6_pol_route().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfp: Check resource mutex allocation
nfp_cpp_resource_find() allocates a CPP mutex handle for the matching
resource-table entry and then reports success. nfp_resource_try_acquire()
immediately passes that handle to nfp_cpp_mutex_trylock().
However, nfp_cpp_mutex_alloc() returns NULL on failure. If that happens
for a matching table entry, the resource lookup still returns success and
the following trylock dereferences a NULL mutex pointer while opening the
resource.
nfp_resource_acquire() already treats failure to allocate the table mutex
as -ENOMEM. Do the same for the resource mutex and fail the lookup before
publishing the rest of the resource handle.
This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review. |

wifi: mwifiex: fix NULL dereference when the AP has HT-cap but no HT-oper
mwifiex_tdls_add_ht_oper() gates its follow-the-AP-bandwidth path on
bss_desc->bcn_ht_cap being present, but then dereferences a different
pointer, bss_desc->bcn_ht_oper:
if (ISSUPP_CHANWIDTH40(priv->adapter->hw_dot_11n_dev_cap) &&
bss_desc->bcn_ht_cap &&
ISALLOWED_CHANWIDTH40(bss_desc->bcn_ht_oper->ht_param))
bcn_ht_cap and bcn_ht_oper are populated independently while parsing the
associated AP's beacon in mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie(): an AP that
advertises an HT Capabilities element but no HT Operation element leaves
bcn_ht_cap non-NULL and bcn_ht_oper NULL. Setting up a TDLS link to a
peer while associated to such an AP then dereferences the NULL
bcn_ht_oper and crashes the kernel. Every other bcn_ht_oper user in the
driver NULL-checks it first.
Guard on the pointer that is actually dereferenced.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_misc: set have_execfd only once the interpreter is opened
load_misc_binary() raises bprm->have_execfd as soon as it sees the 'O'
(or 'C') flag. This happens well before it opens the interpreter. If
that open fails the flag stays set on the bprm. binfmt_misc is at the
head of the format list so an interpreter open failure that returns
-ENOEXEC lets the search fall through to a later format. This means it
runs the matched binary directly having never staged an interpreter. So
bprm->executable is NULL while have_execfd falsely claims a descriptor
is present.
Consequently, begin_new_exec() dereferences the missing executable:
would_dump(bprm, bprm->executable);
and NULL derefs. Had it not, the hand-off later in the same function
would have failed anyway. FD_ADD(0, bprm->executable) rejects a NULL
file with -ENOMEM. Both sites are past the point of no return so the
exec cannot be unwound either way.
This can be reached by unprivileged users as binfmt_misc can be mounted
in user namespaces. So a user can register an 'O' entry whose
interpreter lives on a FUSE mount, have the FUSE server fail the open
with -ENOEXEC and execute a native ELF file that matches the entry.
have_execfd only means anything alongside the executable it describes
which is not set until the interpreter has been opened and staged.
So lets raise it there, next to execfd_creds, which is already set at
that point. An open failure now leaves it clear, so the fallback format
derives credentials from the binary and emits no AT_EXECFD, as it would
for any native exec. The argv rewrite load_misc_binary() performs before
the open is still not undone. This means the binary sees the interpreter
path in argv[0] and its own path in argv[1] but that predates this
change and only became observable once the exec stopped faulting. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Use sender devcom for MPV master-up
After PCIe DPC recovery, mlx5 reloads the affected functions and
replays multiport affiliation events. In the reported failure, the
first relevant device error was:
pcieport 0000:10:01.1: DPC: containment event
pcieport 0000:10:01.1: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal)
pcieport 0000:10:01.1: [ 5] SDES (First)
mlx5 recovered the PCI functions and resumed 0000:11:00.1. During
that resume, RDMA multiport binding replayed
MLX5_DRIVER_EVENT_AFFILIATION_DONE and mlx5e sent
MPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP. The host then panicked with:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010

mlx5e_devcom_event_mpv
mlx5_devcom_send_event
mlx5_ib_bind_slave_port

mlx5_pci_resume
MPV devcom registration publishes mlx5e private data to the component
peer list before mlx5e_devcom_init_mpv() stores the returned component
device in priv->devcom. A concurrent master-up event can therefore
reach a peer whose private data is visible but whose priv->devcom
backpointer is still NULL.
MPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP already carries the sender/master mlx5e private
data as event_data. The ready bit is stored on the shared devcom
component, not on an individual peer. Use the sender devcom when
marking the MPV component ready.
This preserves the readiness transition while avoiding a NULL
dereference of the peer devcom pointer during affiliation replay after
PCI error recovery. |

Also the reporter is very kind to test the following ASSERT() added to
btrfs_trim_free_extents_throttle():
ASSERT(device->bdev,
"devid=%llu path=%s dev_state=0x%lx\n",
device->devid, btrfs_dev_name(device), device->dev_state);
And it shows the following output:
assertion failed: device->bdev, in extent-tree.c:6630 (devid=2 path=/dev/sdd dev_state=0x82)
Which means the device->bdev is NULL, and the dev_state is
BTRFS_DEV_STATE_IN_FS_METADATA | BTRFS_DEV_STATE_ITEM_FOUND, without
BTRFS_DEV_STATE_WRITEABLE flag set.
[CAUSE]
The pc points to the following call chain:
btrfs_trim_fs()
|- btrfs_trim_free_extents()
|- btrfs_trim_free_extents_throttle()
|- bdev_max_discard_sectors(device->bdev)
So the NULL pointer dereference is caused by device->bdev being NULL.
This looks impossible by a quick glance, as just before calling
btrfs_trim_free_extents_throttle(), we have skipped any device that has
BTRFS_DEV_STATE_MISSING flag set.
However in this particular case, there is a window where the missing
device is later re-scanned, causing btrfs to remove the
BTRFS_DEV_STATE_MISSING flag:
btrfs_control_ioctl()
|- btrfs_scan_one_device()
|- device_list_add()
|- rcu_assign_pointer(device->name, name);
| This updates the missing device's path to the new good path.
|
|- clear_bit(BTRFS_DEV_STATE_MISSING, &device->dev_state)
This removes the BTRFS_DEV_STATE_MISSING flag.
This allows the missing device to re-appear and clear the
BTRFS_DEV_STATE_MISSING flag. However the device still does not have
the BTRFS_DEV_STATE_WRITEABLE flag set, nor is its bdev pointer updated.
The bdev pointer remains NULL, triggering the crash later.
[FIX]
This is a big de-synchronization between BTRFS_DEV_STATE_MISSING and
device->bdev pointer, and shows a gap in btrfs's re-appearing-device
handling.
The proper handling of re-appearing device will need quite some extra
work, which is out of the context of this small

mpls: fix NULL deref in mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() on CONFIG_INET=n
On CONFIG_INET=n builds, mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() walks the parsed
attribute table itself instead of calling ip_valid_fib_dump_req(). The

ipv6: Fix null-ptr-deref in fib6_nh_mtu_change().
fib6_nh_mtu_change() re-fetches idev via __in6_dev_get(arg->dev) and
dereferences idev->cnf.mtu6 without a NULL check. addrconf_ifdown()
clears dev->ip6_ptr with RCU_INIT_POINTER() after rt6_disable_ip() has
released tb6_lock, so the RA-driven MTU walk can observe a NULL idev and
oops. The caller rt6_mtu_change_route() guards its own __in6_dev_get(),
but this re-fetch is unguarded; nexthop-backed routes survive
addrconf_ifdown()'s flush, so the walk still reaches it after ip6_ptr is
nulled.
Return 0 when idev is NULL, matching rt6_mtu_change_route() and the
