virtio_console: fix order of fields cols and rows

2026-01-11T14:22:32+00:00

commit 5326ab737a47278dbd16ed3ee7380b26c7056ddd upstream. According to section 5.3.6.2 (Multiport Device Operation) of the virtio spec(version 1.2) a control buffer with the event VIRTIO_CONSOLE_RESIZE is followed by a virtio_console_resize struct containing cols then rows. The kernel implements this the wrong way around (rows then cols) resulting in the two values being swapped.

commit faf07e611dfa464b201223a7253e9dc5ee0f3c9e upstream. tpm2_get_pcr_allocation() does not cap any upper limit for the number of banks. Cap the limit to eight banks so that out of bounds values coming from external I/O cause on only limited harm.

char: applicom: fix NULL pointer dereference in ac_ioctl

2026-01-11T14:21:58+00:00

commit 82d12088c297fa1cef670e1718b3d24f414c23f7 upstream. Discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine. In ac_ioctl, the validation of IndexCard and the check for a valid RamIO pointer are skipped when cmd is 6. However, the function unconditionally executes readb(apbs[IndexCard].RamIO + VERS) at the end. If cmd is 6, IndexCard may reference a board that does not exist (where RamIO is NULL), leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by skipping the readb access when cmd is 6, as this command is a global information query and does not target a specific board context.

ipmi: Fix __scan_channels() failing to rescan channels

2026-01-11T14:21:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6bd30d8fc523fb880b4be548e8501bc0fe8f42d4 ] channel_handler() sets intf->channels_ready to true but never clears it, so __scan_channels() skips any rescan. When the BMC firmware changes a rescan is required. Allow it by clearing the flag before starting a new scan.

ipmi: Fix the race between __scan_channels() and deliver_response()

2026-01-11T14:21:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 936750fdba4c45e13bbd17f261bb140dd55f5e93 ] The race window between __scan_channels() and deliver_response() causes the parameters of some channels to be set to 0. 1.[CPUA] __scan_channels() issues an IPMI request and waits with wait_event() until all channels have been scanned. wait_event() internally calls might_sleep(), which might yield the CPU. (Moreover, an interrupt can preempt wait_event() and force the task to yield the CPU.) 2.[CPUB] deliver_response() is invoked when the CPU receives the IPMI response. After processing a IPMI response, deliver_response() directly assigns intf->wchannels to intf->channel_list and sets intf->channels_ready to true. However, not all channels are actually ready for use. 3.[CPUA] Since intf->channels_ready is already true, wait_event() never enters __wait_event(). __scan_channels() immediately clears intf->null_user_handler and exits. 4.[CPUB] Once intf->null_user_handler is set to NULL, deliver_response() ignores further IPMI responses, leaving the remaining channels zero-initialized and unusable. CPUA CPUB ------------------------------- ----------------------------- __scan_channels() intf->null_user_handler = channel_handler; send_channel_info_cmd(intf, 0); wait_event(intf->waitq, intf->channels_ready); do { might_sleep(); deliver_response() channel_handler() intf->channel_list = intf->wchannels + set; intf->channels_ready = true; send_channel_info_cmd(intf, intf->curr_channel); if (condition) break; __wait_event(wq_head, condition); } while(0) intf->null_user_handler = NULL; deliver_response() if (!msg->user) if (intf->null_user_handler) rv = -EINVAL; return rv; ------------------------------- ----------------------------- Fix the race between __scan_channels() and deliver_response() by deferring both the assignment intf->channel_list = intf->wchannels and the flag intf->channels_ready = true until all channels have been successfully scanned or until the IPMI request has failed.

char: misc: restrict the dynamic range to exclude reserved minors

2025-11-24T09:29:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 31b636d2c41613e3bd36256a4bd53e9dacfa2677 ] When this was first reported [1], the possibility of having sufficient number of dynamic misc devices was theoretical, in the case of dlm driver. In practice, its userspace never created more than one device. What we know from commit ab760791c0cf ("char: misc: Increase the maximum number of dynamic misc devices to 1048448"), is that the miscdevice interface has been used for allocating more than the single-shot devices it was designed for. And it is not only coresight_tmc, but many other drivers are able to create multiple devices. On systems like the ones described in the above commit, it is certain that the dynamic allocation will allocate certain reserved minor numbers, leading to failures when a later driver tries to claim its reserved number. Instead of excluding the historically statically allocated range from dynamic allocation, restrict the latter to minors above 255. That also removes the need for DYNAMIC_MINORS and the convolution in allocating minor numbers, simplifying the code. Since commit ab760791c0cf ("char: misc: Increase the maximum number of dynamic misc devices to 1048448") has been applied, such range is already possible. And given such devices already need to be dynamically created, there should be no systems where this might become a problem.

char: Use list_del_init() in misc_deregister() to reinitialize list pointer

2025-11-24T09:29:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit e28022873c0d051e980c4145f1965cab5504b498 ] Currently, misc_deregister() uses list_del() to remove the device from the list. After list_del(), the list pointers are set to LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2, which may help catch use-after-free bugs, but does not reset the list head. If misc_deregister() is called more than once on the same device, list_empty() will not return true, and list_del() may be called again, leading to undefined behavior. Replace list_del() with list_del_init() to reinitialize the list head after deletion. This makes the code more robust against double deregistration and allows safe usage of list_empty() on the miscdevice after deregistration. [ Note, this seems to keep broken out-of-tree drivers from doing foolish things. While this does not matter for any in-kernel drivers, external drivers could use a bit of help to show them they shouldn't be doing stuff like re-registering misc devices - gregkh ] Signed-off-by: Xion Wang Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250904063714.28925-2-xion.wang@mediatek.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

char: misc: Does not request module for miscdevice with dynamic minor

[ Upstream commit 1ba0fb42aa6a5f072b1b8c0b0520b32ad4ef4b45 ] misc_open() may request module for miscdevice with dynamic minor, which is meaningless since: - The dynamic minor allocated is unknown in advance without registering miscdevice firstly. - Macro MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV() is not applicable for dynamic minor.

char: misc: Make misc_register() reentry for miscdevice who wants dynamic minor

2025-11-24T09:29:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 52e2bb5ff089d65e2c7d982fe2826dc88e473d50 ] For miscdevice who wants dynamic minor, it may fail to be registered again without reinitialization after being de-registered, which is illustrated by kunit test case miscdev_test_dynamic_reentry() newly added. There is a real case found by cascardo when a part of minor range were contained by range [0, 255): 1) wmi/dell-smbios registered minor 122, and acpi_thermal_rel registered minor 123 2) unbind "int3400 thermal" driver from its device, this will de-register acpi_thermal_rel 3) rmmod then insmod dell_smbios again, now wmi/dell-smbios is using minor 123 4) bind the device to "int3400 thermal" driver again, acpi_thermal_rel fails to register. Some drivers may reuse the miscdevice structure after they are deregistered If the intention is to allocate a dynamic minor, if the minor number is not reset to MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR before calling misc_register(), it will try to register a previously dynamically allocated minor number, which may have been registered by a different driver. One such case is the acpi_thermal_rel misc device, registered by the int3400 thermal driver. If the device is unbound from the driver and later bound, if there was another dynamic misc device registered in between, it would fail to register the acpi_thermal_rel misc device. Other drivers behave similarly. Actually, this kind of issue is prone to happen if APIs misc_register()/misc_deregister() are invoked by driver's probe()/remove() separately. Instead of fixing all the drivers, just reset the minor member to MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR in misc_deregister() in case it was a dynamically allocated minor number, as error handling of misc_register() does.

ipmi: Fix handling of messages with provided receive message pointer

2025-10-19T14:30:59+00:00

commit e2c69490dda5d4c9f1bfbb2898989c8f3530e354 upstream Prior to commit b52da4054ee0 ("ipmi: Rework user message limit handling"), i_ipmi_request() used to increase the user reference counter if the receive message is provided by the caller of IPMI API functions. This is no longer the case. However, ipmi_free_recv_msg() is still called and decreases the reference counter. This results in the reference counter reaching zero, the user data pointer is released, and all kinds of interesting crashes are seen. Fix the problem by increasing user reference counter if the receive message has been provided by the caller.
