A flaw was found in GIMP when processing XCF image files. If a user opens one of these image files that has been specially crafted by an attacker, GIMP can be tricked into making serious memory errors, potentially leading to crashes and causing use-after-free issues.Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SVM: Forcibly leave SMM mode on SHUTDOWN interception Previously, commit ed129ec9057f ("KVM: x86: forcibly leave nested mode on vCPU reset") addressed an issue where a triple fault occurring in nested mode could lead to use-after-free scenarios. However, the commit did not handle the analogous situation for System Management Mode (SMM). This omission results in triggering a WARN when KVM forces a vCPU INIT after SHUTDOWN interception while the vCPU is in SMM. This situation was reprodused using Syzkaller by: 1) Creating a KVM VM and vCPU 2) Sending a KVM_SMI ioctl to explicitly enter SMM 3) Executing invalid instructions causing consecutive exceptions and eventually a triple fault The issue manifests as follows: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 25506 at arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12112 kvm_vcpu_reset+0x1d2/0x1530 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12112 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 25506 Comm: syz-executor.0 Not tainted 6.1.130-syzkaller-00157-g164fe5dde9b6 #0 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:kvm_vcpu_reset+0x1d2/0x1530 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12112 Call Trace: <TASK> shutdown_interception+0x66/0xb0 arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c:2136 svm_invoke_exit_handler+0x110/0x530 arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c:3395 svm_handle_exit+0x424/0x920 arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c:3457 vcpu_enter_guest arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:10959 [inline] vcpu_run+0x2c43/0x5a90 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11062 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x50f/0x1cf0 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:11283 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x570/0xf00 arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:4122 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:870 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:856 [inline] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x19a/0x210 fs/ioctl.c:856 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:51 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 arch/x86/entry/common.c:81 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 Architecturally, INIT is blocked when the CPU is in SMM, hence KVM's WARN() in kvm_vcpu_reset() to guard against KVM bugs, e.g. to detect improper emulation of INIT. SHUTDOWN on SVM is a weird edge case where KVM needs to do _something_ sane with the VMCB, since it's technically undefined, and INIT is the least awful choice given KVM's ABI. So, double down on stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN, and force the vCPU out of SMM to avoid any weirdness (and the WARN). Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: Fix UAF in __close_file_table_ids A use-after-free is possible if one thread destroys the file via __ksmbd_close_fd while another thread holds a reference to it. The existing checks on fp->refcount are not sufficient to prevent this. The fix takes ft->lock around the section which removes the file from the file table. This prevents two threads acquiring the same file pointer via __close_file_table_ids, as well as the other functions which retrieve a file from the IDR and which already use this same lock.Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/pci: Fix duplicate pci_dev_put() in disable_slot() when PF has child VFs With commit bcb5d6c76903 ("s390/pci: introduce lock to synchronize state of zpci_dev's") the code to ignore power off of a PF that has child VFs was changed from a direct return to a goto to the unlock and pci_dev_put() section. The change however left the existing pci_dev_put() untouched resulting in a doubple put. This can subsequently cause a use after free if the struct pci_dev is released in an unexpected state. Fix this by removing the extra pci_dev_put().Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free in ksmbd_session_rpc_open A UAF issue can occur due to a race condition between ksmbd_session_rpc_open() and __session_rpc_close(). Add rpc_lock to the session to protect it.Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free in kerberos authentication Setting sess->user = NULL was introduced to fix the dangling pointer created by ksmbd_free_user. However, it is possible another thread could be operating on the session and make use of sess->user after it has been passed to ksmbd_free_user but before sess->user is set to NULL.Show less

There's no actual need to clear the client_id at this point, so simply remove the offending code.Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix slab-use-after-free in hdcp The HDCP code in amdgpu_dm_hdcp.c copies pointers to amdgpu_dm_connector objects without incrementing the kref reference counts. When using a USB-C dock, and the dock is unplugged, the corresponding amdgpu_dm_connector objects are freed, creating dangling pointers in the HDCP code. When the dock is plugged back, the dangling pointers are dereferenced, resulting in a slab-use-after-free: [ 66.775837] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in event_property_validate+0x42f/0x6c0 [amdgpu] [ 66.776171] Read of size 4 at addr ffff888127804120 by task kworker/0:1/10 [ 66.776179] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 10 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.14.0-rc7-00180-g54505f727a38-dirty #233 [ 66.776183] Hardware name: HP HP Pavilion Aero Laptop 13-be0xxx/8916, BIOS F.17 12/18/2024 [ 66.776186] Workqueue: events event_property_validate [amdgpu] [ 66.776494] Call Trace: [ 66.776496] <TASK> [ 66.776497] dump_stack_lvl+0x70/0xa0 [ 66.776504] print_report+0x175/0x555 [ 66.776507] ? __virt_addr_valid+0x243/0x450 [ 66.776510] ? kasan_complete_mode_report_info+0x66/0x1c0 [ 66.776515] kasan_report+0xeb/0x1c0 [ 66.776518] ? event_property_validate+0x42f/0x6c0 [amdgpu] [ 66.776819] ? event_property_validate+0x42f/0x6c0 [amdgpu] [ 66.777121] __asan_report_load4_noabort+0x14/0x20 [ 66.777124] event_property_validate+0x42f/0x6c0 [amdgpu] [ 66.777342] ? __lock_acquire+0x6b40/0x6b40 [ 66.777347] ? enable_assr+0x250/0x250 [amdgpu] [ 66.777571] process_one_work+0x86b/0x1510 [ 66.777575] ? pwq_dec_nr_in_flight+0xcf0/0xcf0 [ 66.777578] ? assign_work+0x16b/0x280 [ 66.777580] ? lock_is_held_type+0xa3/0x130 [ 66.777583] worker_thread+0x5c0/0xfa0 [ 66.777587] ? process_one_work+0x1510/0x1510 [ 66.777588] kthread+0x3a2/0x840 [ 66.777591] ? kthread_is_per_cpu+0xd0/0xd0 [ 66.777594] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0x4f/0x60 [ 66.777597] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x27/0x60 [ 66.777599] ? calculate_sigpending+0x77/0xa0 [ 66.777602] ? kthread_is_per_cpu+0xd0/0xd0 [ 66.777605] ret_from_fork+0x40/0x90 [ 66.777607] ? kthread_is_per_cpu+0xd0/0xd0 [ 66.777609] ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 [ 66.777614] </TASK> [ 66.777643] Allocated by task 10: [ 66.777646] kasan_save_stack+0x39/0x60 [ 66.777649] kasan_save_track+0x14/0x40 [ 66.777652] kasan_save_alloc_info+0x37/0x50 [ 66.777655] __kasan_kmalloc+0xbb/0xc0 [ 66.777658] __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x1c8/0x4b0 [ 66.777661] dm_dp_add_mst_connector+0xdd/0x5c0 [amdgpu] [ 66.777880] drm_dp_mst_port_add_connector+0x47e/0x770 [drm_display_helper] [ 66.777892] drm_dp_send_link_address+0x1554/0x2bf0 [drm_display_helper] [ 66.777901] drm_dp_check_and_send_link_address+0x187/0x1f0 [drm_display_helper] [ 66.777909] drm_dp_mst_link_probe_work+0x2b8/0x410 [drm_display_helper] [ 66.777917] process_one_work+0x86b/0x1510 [ 66.777919] worker_thread+0x5c0/0xfa0 [ 66.777922] kthread+0x3a2/0x840 [ 66.777925] ret_from_fork+0x40/0x90 [ 66.777927] ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 [ 66.777932] Freed by task 1713: [ 66.777935] kasan_save_stack+0x39/0x60 [ 66.777938] kasan_save_track+0x14/0x40 [ 66.777940] kasan_save_free_info+0x3b/0x60 [ 66.777944] __kasan_slab_free+0x52/0x70 [ 66.777946] kfree+0x13f/0x4b0 [ 66.777949] dm_dp_mst_connector_destroy+0xfa/0x150 [amdgpu] [ 66.778179] drm_connector_free+0x7d/0xb0 [ 66.778184] drm_mode_object_put.part.0+0xee/0x160 [ 66.778188] drm_mode_object_put+0x37/0x50 [ 66.778191] drm_atomic_state_default_clear+0x220/0xd60 [ 66.778194] __drm_atomic_state_free+0x16e/0x2a0 [ 66.778197] drm_mode_atomic_ioctl+0x15ed/0x2ba0 [ 66.778200] drm_ioctl_kernel+0x17a/0x310 [ 66.778203] drm_ioctl+0x584/0xd10 [ 66.778206] amdgpu_drm_ioctl+0xd2/0x1c0 [amdgpu] [ 66.778375] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x139/0x1a0 [ 66.778378] x64_sys_call+0xee7/0xfb0 [ 66.778381] ---truncated---Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free in session logoff The sess->user object can currently be in use by another thread, for example if another connection has sent a session setup request to bind to the session being free'd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class with netem as child qdisc As described in Gerrard's report [1], we have a UAF case when an hfsc class has a netem child qdisc. The crux of the issue is that hfsc is assuming that checking for cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 guarantees that it hasn't inserted the class in the vttree or eltree (which is not true for the netem duplicate case). This patch checks the n_active class variable to make sure that the code won't insert the class in the vttree or eltree twice, catering for the reentrant case.

There is an issue in CPython when using `bytes.decode("unicode_escape", error="ignore|replace")`. If you are not using the "unicode_escape" encoding or an error handler your usage is not affected. To work-around this issue you may stop using the error= handler and instead wrap the bytes.decode() call in a try-except catching the DecodeError.Show less
