In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: ipc: fix use-after-free in ipc_msg_send_request
ipc_msg_send_request() waits for a generic netlink reply using an
ipc_msg_table_entry on the stack. The generic netlink handler
(handle_generic_event()/handle_response()) fills entry->response under
ipc_msg_table_lock, but ipc_msg_send_request() used to validate and free
entry->response without holding the same lock.
Under high concurrency this allows a race where handle_response() is
copying data into entry->response while ipc_msg_send_request() has just
freed it, leading to a slab-use-after-free reported by KASAN in
handle_generic_event():
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in handle_generic_event+0x3c4/0x5f0 [ksmbd]

...
Freed by task:
kvfree
ipc_msg_send_request [ksmbd]
ksmbd_rpc_open -> ksmbd_session_rpc_open [ksmbd]
Fix by:
- Taking ipc_msg_table_lock in ipc_msg_send_request() while validating
entry->response, freeing it when invalid, and removing the entry from
ipc_msg_table.
- Returning the final entry->response pointer to the caller only after
the hash entry is removed under the lock.
- Returning NULL in the error path, preserving the original API
semantics.
This makes all accesses to entry->response consistent with
handle_response(), which already updates and fills the response buffer
under ipc_msg_table_lock, and closes the race that allowed the UAF.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: zstd - fix double-free in per-CPU stream cleanup
The crypto/zstd module has a double-free bug that occurs when multiple
tfms are allocated and freed.
The issue happens because zstd_streams (per-CPU contexts) are freed in
zstd_exit() during every tfm destruction, rather than being managed at
the module level. When multiple tfms exist, each tfm exit attempts to
free the same shared per-CPU streams, resulting in a double-free.
This leads to a stack trace similar to:

ext4: add i_data_sem protection in ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock()
Fix a race between inline data destruction and block mapping.
The function ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock() changes the inode data
layout by clearing EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA and setting EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS.
At the same time, another thread may execute ext4_map_blocks(), which
tests EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS to decide whether to call ext4_ext_map_blocks()
or ext4_ind_map_blocks().
Without i_data_sem protection, ext4_ind_map_blocks() may receive inode

rust_binder: fix race condition on death_list
Rust Binder contains the following unsafe operation:
// SAFETY: A `NodeDeath` is never inserted into the death list
// of any node other than its owner, so it is either in this
// death list or in no death list.
unsafe { node_inner.death_list.remove(self) };
This operation is unsafe because when touching the prev/next pointers of
a list element, we have to ensure that no other thread is also touching
them in parallel. If the node is present in the list that `remove` is
called on, then that is fine because we have exclusive access to that
list. If the node is not in any list, then it's also ok. But if it's
present in a different list that may be accessed in parallel, then that
may be a data race on the prev/next pointers.
And unfortunately that is exactly what is happening here. In
Node::release, we:
1. Take the lock.
2. Move all items to a local list on the stack.
3. Drop the lock.
4. Iterate the local list on the stack.
Combined with threads using the unsafe remove method on the original
list, this leads to memory corruption of the prev/next pointers. This
leads to crashes like this one:

Thus, modify Node::release to pop items directly off the original list.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Don't skip unrelated instruction if INT3/INTO is replaced
When re-injecting a soft interrupt from an INT3, INT0, or (select) INTn
instruction, discard the exception and retry the instruction if the code
stream is changed (e.g. by a different vCPU) between when the CPU
executes the instruction and when KVM decodes the instruction to get the
next RIP.
As effectively predicted by commit 6ef88d6e36c2 ("KVM: SVM: Re-inject
INT3/INTO instead of retrying the instruction"), failure to verify that
the correct INTn instruction was decoded can effectively clobber guest
state due to decoding the wrong instruction and thus specifying the
wrong next RIP.
The bug most often manifests as "Oops: int3" panics on static branch
checks in Linux guests. Enabling or disabling a static branch in Linux
uses the kernel's "text poke" code patching mechanism. To modify code
while other CPUs may be executing that code, Linux (temporarily)
replaces the first byte of the original instruction with an int3 (opcode
0xcc), then patches in the new code stream except for the first byte,
and finally replaces the int3 with the first byte of the new code
stream. If a CPU hits the int3, i.e. executes the code while it's being
modified, then the guest kernel must look up the RIP to determine how to
handle the #BP, e.g. by emulating the new instruction. If the RIP is
incorrect, then this lookup fails and the guest kernel panics.
The bug reproduces almost instantly by hacking the guest kernel to
repeatedly check a static branch[1] while running a drgn script[2] on
the host to constantly swap out the memory containing the guest's TSS.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: multiq3: sanitize config options in multiq3_attach()
Syzbot identified an issue [1] in multiq3_attach() that induces a
task timeout due to open() or COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl operations,
specifically, in the case of multiq3 driver.
This problem arose when syzkaller managed to craft weird configuration
options used to specify the number of channels in encoder subdevice.
If a particularly great number is passed to s->n_chan in
multiq3_attach() via it->options[2], then multiple calls to
multiq3_encoder_reset() at the end of driver-specific attach() method
will be running for minutes, thus blocking tasks and affected devices
as well.
While this issue is most likely not too dangerous for real-life
devices, it still makes sense to sanitize configuration inputs. Enable
a sensible limit on the number of encoder chips (4 chips max, each
with 2 channels) to stop this behaviour from manifesting.

comedi: check device's attached status in compat ioctls
Syzbot identified an issue [1] that crashes kernel, seemingly due to
unexistent callback dev->get_valid_routes(). By all means, this should
not occur as said callback must always be set to
get_zero_valid_routes() in __comedi_device_postconfig().
As the crash seems to appear exclusively in i386 kernels, at least,
judging from [1] reports, the blame lies with compat versions
of standard IOCTL handlers. Several of them are modified and
do not use comedi_unlocked_ioctl(). While functionality of these
ioctls essentially copy their original versions, they do not
have required sanity check for device's attached status. This,
in turn, leads to a possibility of calling select IOCTLs on a
device that has not been properly setup, even via COMEDI_DEVCONFIG.
Doing so on unconfigured devices means that several crucial steps
are missed, for instance, specifying dev->get_valid_routes()
callback.
Fix this somewhat crudely by ensuring device's attached status before
performing any ioctls, improving logic consistency between modern
and compat functions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in rtw_get_ie() parser
The Information Element (IE) parser rtw_get_ie() trusted the length
byte of each IE without validating that the IE body (len bytes after
the 2-byte header) fits inside the remaining frame buffer. A malformed
frame can advertise an IE length larger than the available data, causing
the parser to increment its pointer beyond the buffer end. This results
in out-of-bounds reads or, depending on the pattern, an infinite loop.
Fix by validating that (offset + 2 + len) does not exceed the limit
before accepting the IE or advancing to the next element.
This prevents OOB reads and ensures the parser terminates safely on
malformed frames.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix stack buffer overflow in OnAssocReq IE parsing
The Supported Rates IE length from an incoming Association Request frame
was used directly as the memcpy() length when copying into a fixed-size
16-byte stack buffer (supportRate). A malicious station can advertise an
IE length larger than 16 bytes, causing a stack buffer overflow.
Clamp ie_len to the buffer size before copying the Supported Rates IE,
and correct the bounds check when merging Extended Supported Rates to
prevent a second potential overflow.
This prevents kernel stack corruption triggered by malformed association
requests.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in OnBeacon ESR IE parsing
The Extended Supported Rates (ESR) IE handling in OnBeacon accessed
*(p + 1 + ielen) and *(p + 2 + ielen) without verifying that these
offsets lie within the received frame buffer. A malformed beacon with
an ESR IE positioned at the end of the buffer could cause an
out-of-bounds read, potentially triggering a kernel panic.
Add a boundary check to ensure that the ESR IE body and the subsequent
bytes are within the limits of the frame before attempting to access
them.
This prevents OOB reads caused by malformed beacon frames.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: avoid infinite loops due to corrupted subpage compact indexes
Robert reported an infinite loop observed by two crafted images.
The root cause is that `clusterofs` can be larger than `lclustersize`
for !NONHEAD `lclusters` in corrupted subpage compact indexes, e.g.:
blocksize = lclustersize = 512 lcn = 6 clusterofs = 515
Move the corresponding check for full compress indexes to
`z_erofs_load_lcluster_from_disk()` to also cover subpage compact
compress indexes.
It also fixes the position of `m->type >= Z_EROFS_LCLUSTER_TYPE_MAX`
check, since it should be placed right after
`z_erofs_load_{compact,full}_lcluster()`.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hung_task: fix warnings caused by unaligned lock pointers
The blocker tracking mechanism assumes that lock pointers are at least
4-byte aligned to use their lower bits for type encoding.
However, as reported by Eero Tamminen, some architectures like m68k
only guarantee 2-byte alignment of 32-bit values. This breaks the
assumption and causes two related WARN_ON_ONCE checks to trigger.
To fix this, the runtime checks are adjusted to silently ignore any lock
that is not 4-byte aligned, effectively disabling the feature in such
cases and avoiding the related warnings.
Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven for bisecting!

most: usb: hdm_probe: Fix calling put_device() before device initialization
The early error path in hdm_probe() can jump to err_free_mdev before
&mdev->dev has been initialized with device_initialize(). Calling
put_device(&mdev->dev) there triggers a device core WARN and ends up
invoking kref_put(&kobj->kref, kobject_release) on an uninitialized
kobject.
In this path the private struct was only kmalloc'ed and the intended
release is effectively kfree(mdev) anyway, so free it directly instead
of calling put_device() on an uninitialized device.
This removes the WARNING and fixes the pre-initialization error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vmw_balloon: indicate success when effectively deflating during migration
When migrating a balloon page, we first deflate the old page to then
inflate the new page.
However, if inflating the new page succeeded, we effectively deflated the
old page, reducing the balloon size.
In that case, the migration actually worked: similar to migrating+
immediately deflating the new page. The old page will be freed back to
the buddy.
Right now, the core will leave the page be marked as isolated (as we
returned an error). When later trying to putback that page, we will run
into the WARN_ON_ONCE() in balloon_page_putback().
That handling was changed in commit 3544c4faccb8 ("mm/balloon_compaction:
stop using __ClearPageMovable()"); before that change, we would have
tolerated that way of handling it.
To fix it, let's just return 0 in that case, making the core effectively
just clear the "isolated" flag + freeing it back to the buddy as if the
migration succeeded. Note that the new page will also get freed when the
core puts the last reference.
Note that this also makes it all be more consistent: we will no longer
unisolate the page in the balloon driver while keeping it marked as being
isolated in migration core.
This was found by code inspection.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-timers: Plug potential memory leak in do_timer_create()
When posix timer creation is set to allocate a given timer ID and the

freeing the already allocated posix timer structure.
Move the allocation after the user space access to cure that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: netpoll: fix incorrect refcount handling causing incorrect cleanup
commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") incorrectly
ignored the refcount and prematurely set dev->npinfo to NULL during
netpoll cleanup, leading to improper behavior and memory leaks.
Scenario causing lack of proper cleanup:
1) A netpoll is associated with a NIC (e.g., eth0) and netdev->npinfo is
allocated, and refcnt = 1
- Keep in mind that npinfo is shared among all netpoll instances. In
this case, there is just one.
2) Another netpoll is also associated with the same NIC and
npinfo->refcnt += 1.
- Now dev->npinfo->refcnt = 2;
- There is just one npinfo associated to the netdev.
3) When the first netpolls goes to clean up:
- The first cleanup succeeds and clears np->dev->npinfo, ignoring
refcnt.
- It basically calls `RCU_INIT_POINTER(np->dev->npinfo, NULL);`
- Set dev->npinfo = NULL, without proper cleanup
- No ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is either called
4) Now the second target tries to clean up
- The second cleanup fails because np->dev->npinfo is already NULL.
* In this case, ops->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() was never called, and
the skb pool is not cleaned as well (for the second netpoll
instance)
- This leaks npinfo and skbpool skbs, which is clearly reported by
kmemleak.
Revert commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") and adds
clarifying comments emphasizing that npinfo cleanup should only happen
once the refcount reaches zero, ensuring stable and correct netpoll
behavior.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()
If the TLS security policy is of type RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509, then the
cert_serial and privkey_serial fields need to match as well since they
define the client's identity, as presented to the server.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Fix LTP test failures when timestamps are delegated
The utimes01 and utime06 tests fail when delegated timestamps are
enabled, specifically in subtests that modify the atime and mtime
fields using the 'nobody' user ID.
The problem can be reproduced as follow:
# echo "/media *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" >> /etc/exports
# export -ra
# mount -o rw,nfsvers=4.2 127.0.0.1:/media /tmpdir
# cd /opt/ltp
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utimes01
# ./runltp -d /tmpdir -s utime06
This issue occurs because nfs_setattr does not verify the inode's
UID against the caller's fsuid when delegated timestamps are
permitted for the inode.
This patch adds the UID check and if it does not match then the
request is sent to the server for permission checking.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: route: Prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnhe
The sit driver's packet transmission path calls: sit_tunnel_xmit() ->
update_or_create_fnhe(), which lead to fnhe_remove_oldest() being called
to delete entries exceeding FNHE_RECLAIM_DEPTH+random.
The race window is between fnhe_remove_oldest() selecting fnheX for
deletion and the subsequent kfree_rcu(). During this time, the
concurrent path's __mkroute_output() -> find_exception() can fetch the
soon-to-be-deleted fnheX, and rt_bind_exception() then binds it with a
new dst using a dst_hold(). When the original fnheX is freed via RCU,
the dst reference remains permanently leaked.
CPU 0 CPU 1
__mkroute_output()
find_exception() [fnheX]
update_or_create_fnhe()
fnhe_remove_oldest() [fnheX]
rt_bind_exception() [bind dst]
RCU callback [fnheX freed, dst leak]
This issue manifests as a device reference count leak and a warning in
dmesg when unregistering the net device:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for sitX to become free. Usage count = N
Ido Schimmel provided the simple test validation method [1].
The fix clears 'oldest->fnhe_daddr' before calling fnhe_flush_routes().
Since rt_bind_exception() checks this field, setting it to zero prevents
the stale fnhe from being reused and bound to a new dst just before it
is freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: avoid having an active sc_timer before freeing sci
Because kthread_stop did not stop sc_task properly and returned -EINTR,
the sc_timer was not properly closed, ultimately causing the problem [1]
reported by syzbot when freeing sci due to the sc_timer not being closed.
Because the thread sc_task main function nilfs_segctor_thread() returns 0
when it succeeds, when the return value of kthread_stop() is not 0 in
nilfs_segctor_destroy(), we believe that it has not properly closed
sc_timer.
We use timer_shutdown_sync() to sync wait for sc_timer to shutdown, and
set the value of sc_task to NULL under the protection of lock
sc_state_lock, so as to avoid the issue caused by sc_timer not being
properly shutdowned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_misc: restore write access before closing files opened by open_exec()
bm_register_write() opens an executable file using open_exec(), which
internally calls do_open_execat() and denies write access on the file to
avoid modification while it is being executed.
However, when an error occurs, bm_register_write() closes the file using
filp_close() directly. This does not restore the write permission, which
may cause subsequent write operations on the same file to fail.
Fix this by calling exe_file_allow_write_access() before filp_close() to
restore the write permission properly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtdchar: fix integer overflow in read/write ioctls
The "req.start" and "req.len" variables are u64 values that come from the
user at the start of the function. We mask away the high 32 bits of
"req.len" so that's capped at U32_MAX but the "req.start" variable can go
up to U64_MAX which means that the addition can still integer overflow.
Use check_add_overflow() to fix this bug.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: ufs-qcom: Fix UFS OCP issue during UFS power down (PC=3)
According to UFS specifications, the power-off sequence for a UFS device
includes:
- Sending an SSU command with Power_Condition=3 and await a response.
- Asserting RST_N low.
- Turning off REF_CLK.
- Turning off VCC.
- Turning off VCCQ/VCCQ2.
As part of ufs shutdown, after the SSU command completion, asserting
hardware reset (HWRST) triggers the device firmware to wake up and
execute its reset routine. This routine initializes hardware blocks and
takes a few milliseconds to complete. During this time, the ICCQ draws a
large current.
This large ICCQ current may cause issues for the regulator which is
supplying power to UFS, because the turn off request from UFS driver to
the regulator framework will be immediately followed by low power
mode(LPM) request by regulator framework. This is done by framework
because UFS which is the only client is requesting for disable. So if
the rail is still in the process of shutting down while ICCQ exceeds LPM
current thresholds, and LPM mode is activated in hardware during this
state, it may trigger an overcurrent protection (OCP) fault in the
regulator.
To prevent this, a 10ms delay is added after asserting HWRST. This
allows the reset operation to complete while power rails remain active
and in high-power mode.
Currently there is no way for Host to query whether the reset is
completed or not and hence this the delay is based on experiments with
Qualcomm UFS controllers across multiple UFS vendors.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: more robust handing of race to avoid txq getting stuck
Commit dc82a33297fc ("veth: apply qdisc backpressure on full ptr_ring to
reduce TX drops") introduced a race condition that can lead to a permanently
stalled TXQ. This was observed in production on ARM64 systems (Ampere Altra
Max).
The race occurs in veth_xmit(). The producer observes a full ptr_ring and
stops the queue (netif_tx_stop_queue()). The subsequent conditional logic,
intended to re-wake the queue if the consumer had just emptied it (if
(__ptr_ring_empty(...)) netif_tx_wake_queue()), can fail. This leads to a
"lost wakeup" where the TXQ remains stopped (QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF) and
traffic halts.
This failure is caused by an incorrect use of the __ptr_ring_empty() API
from the producer side. As noted in kernel comments, this check is not
guaranteed to be correct if a consumer is operating on another CPU. The
empty test is based on ptr_ring->consumer_head, making it reliable only for
the consumer. Using this check from the producer side is fundamentally racy.
This patch fixes the race by adopting the more robust logic from an earlier
version V4 of the patchset, which always flushed the peer:
(1) In veth_xmit(), the racy conditional wake-up logic and its memory barrier
are removed. Instead, after stopping the queue, we unconditionally call
__veth_xdp_flush(rq). This guarantees that the NAPI consumer is scheduled,
making it solely responsible for re-waking the TXQ.
This handles the race where veth_poll() consumes all packets and completes
NAPI *before* veth_xmit() on the producer side has called netif_tx_stop_queue.
The __veth_xdp_flush(rq) will observe rx_notify_masked is false and schedule
NAPI.
(2) On the consumer side, the logic for waking the peer TXQ is moved out of
veth_xdp_rcv() and placed at the end of the veth_poll() function. This
placement is part of fixing the race, as the netif_tx_queue_stopped() check
must occur after rx_notify_masked is potentially set to false during NAPI
completion.
This handles the race where veth_poll() consumes all packets, but haven't
finished (rx_notify_masked is still true). The producer veth_xmit() stops the
TXQ and __veth_xdp_flush(rq) will observe rx_notify_masked is true, meaning
not starting NAPI. Then veth_poll() change rx_notify_masked to false and
stops NAPI. Before exiting veth_poll() will observe TXQ is stopped and wake
it up.

then the whole potentially high-order page is accessed.
We could give up on HIGHMEM here, but it's straightforward to fix this
with a loop that's mapping, poisoning or checking and unmapping
individual pages.

drm/amdgpu: fix gpu page fault after hibernation on PF passthrough
On PF passthrough environment, after hibernate and then resume, coralgemm
will cause gpu page fault.
Mode1 reset happens during hibernate, but partition mode is not restored
on resume, register mmCP_HYP_XCP_CTL and mmCP_PSP_XCP_CTL is not right
after resume. When CP access the MQD BO, wrong stride size is used,
this will cause out of bound access on the MQD BO, resulting page fault.
The fix is to ensure gfx_v9_4_3_switch_compute_partition() is called
when resume from a hibernation.
KFD resume is called separately during a reset recovery or resume from
suspend sequence. Hence it's not required to be called as part of
partition switch.

Then, this subflow can be normally used by sockmap, which replaces the
native sk_prot with sockmap's custom sk_prot. The issue occurs when the
user executes accept::mptcp_stream_accept::mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops().
Here, it uses sk->sk_prot to compare with the native sk_prot, but this
is incorrect when sockmap is used, as we may incorrectly set
sk->sk_socket->ops.
This fix uses the more generic sk_family for the comparison instead.
Additionally, this also prevents a WARNING from occurring:

happened after ctx->source and fc->source were successfully
allocated but before the function completed.
The specific leak sequence was:
1. ctx->source = smb3_fs_context_fullpath(ctx, '/') allocates memory
2. fc->source = kstrdup(ctx->source, GFP_KERNEL) allocates more memory
3. A subsequent error jumps to cifs_parse_mount_err
4. The old error handler freed passwords but not the source strings,
causing the memory to leak.
This issue was not addressed by commit e8c73eb7db0a ("cifs: client:
fix memory leak in smb3_fs_context_parse_param"), which only fixed
leaks from repeated fsconfig() calls but not this error path.
Patch updated with minor change suggested by kernel test robot
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-multipath: fix lockdep WARN due to partition scan work
Blktests test cases nvme/014, 057 and 058 fail occasionally due to a
lockdep WARN. As reported in the Closes tag URL, the WARN indicates that
a deadlock can happen due to the dependency among disk->open_mutex,
kblockd workqueue completion and partition_scan_work completion.
To avoid the lockdep WARN and the potential deadlock, cut the dependency
by running the partition_scan_work not by kblockd workqueue but by
nvme_wq.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: pegasus-notetaker - fix potential out-of-bounds access
In the pegasus_notetaker driver, the pegasus_probe() function allocates
the URB transfer buffer using the wMaxPacketSize value from
the endpoint descriptor. An attacker can use a malicious USB descriptor
to force the allocation of a very small buffer.
Subsequently, if the device sends an interrupt packet with a specific
pattern (e.g., where the first byte is 0x80 or 0x42),
the pegasus_parse_packet() function parses the packet without checking
the allocated buffer size. This leads to an out-of-bounds memory access.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: BPF: Disable trampoline for kernel module function trace
The current LoongArch BPF trampoline implementation is incompatible
with tracing functions in kernel modules. This causes several severe
and user-visible problems:
* The `bpf_selftests/module_attach` test fails consistently.
* Kernel lockup when a BPF program is attached to a module function [1].
* Critical kernel modules like WireGuard experience traffic disruption
when their functions are traced with fentry [2].
Given the severity and the potential for other unknown side-effects, it
is safest to disable the feature entirely for now. This patch prevents
the BPF subsystem from allowing trampoline attachments to kernel module
functions on LoongArch.
This is a temporary mitigation until the core issues in the trampoline
code for kernel module handling can be identified and fixed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix PTP cleanup on driver removal in error path
Improve the cleanup on releasing PTP resources in error path.
The error case might happen either at the driver probe and PTP
feature initialization or on PTP restart (errors in reset handling, NVM
update etc). In both cases, calls to PF PTP cleanup (ice_ptp_cleanup_pf
function) and 'ps_lock' mutex deinitialization were missed.
Additionally, ptp clock was not unregistered in the latter case.
Keep PTP state as 'uninitialized' on init to distinguish between error
scenarios and to avoid resource release duplication at driver removal.
The consequence of missing ice_ptp_cleanup_pf call is the following call
trace dumped when ice_adapter object is freed (port list is not empty,
as it is required at this stage):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
timers: Fix NULL function pointer race in timer_shutdown_sync()
There is a race condition between timer_shutdown_sync() and timer
expiration that can lead to hitting a WARN_ON in expire_timers().
The issue occurs when timer_shutdown_sync() clears the timer function
to NULL while the timer is still running on another CPU. The race
scenario looks like this:
CPU0 CPU1
<SOFTIRQ>
lock_timer_base()
expire_timers()
base->running_timer = timer;
unlock_timer_base()
[call_timer_fn enter]
mod_timer()
...
timer_shutdown_sync()
lock_timer_base()
// For now, will not detach the timer but only clear its function to NULL
if (base->running_timer != timer)
ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true);
if (shutdown)
timer->function = NULL;
unlock_timer_base()
[call_timer_fn exit]
lock_timer_base()
base->running_timer = NULL;
unlock_timer_base()
...
// Now timer is pending while its function set to NULL.
// next timer trigger
<SOFTIRQ>
expire_timers()
WARN_ON_ONCE(!fn) // hit
...
lock_timer_base()
// Now timer will detach
if (base->running_timer != timer)
ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true);
if (shutdown)
timer->function = NULL;
unlock_timer_base()
The problem is that timer_shutdown_sync() clears the timer function
regardless of whether the timer is currently running. This can leave a
pending timer with a NULL function pointer, which triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE(!fn) check in expire_timers().
Fix this by only clearing the timer function when actually detaching the
timer. If the timer is running, leave the function pointer intact, which is
safe because the timer will be properly detached when it finishes running.
