ipv4: igmp: Fix potential UAF in igmp_gq_start_timer()

2026-09-02T12:28:34+00:00

commit 7b19c0f81ed1fdaec6bc522569be367199a9edf3 upstream. A race condition exists between device teardown (inetdev_destroy) and incoming IGMP query processing (igmp_rcv), leading to a Use-After-Free in the IGMP timer callback. During device destruction, inetdev_destroy() drops the primary reference to in_device, which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of in_device memory is deferred via RCU (using call_rcu()). Concurrently, igmp_rcv() runs under RCU read lock and obtains the in_device pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can safely dereference in_device even if its refcount has hit 0. However, if CPU-0 calls igmp_gq_start_timer() and re-arms the timer, it attempts to acquire a reference using in_dev_hold(). This increments the refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning. Since the in_device memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU grace period (as the free callback does not check the refcount again), the device is freed while the timer is still armed. When the timer expires, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic. Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper in_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not arm the timer. A similar issue in IPv6 MLD is fixed in a subsequent patch.

can: use skb hash instead of private variable in headroom

commit d4fb6514ff8ed6912a71294e6b66a5d59ee88007 upstream. The can_skb_priv::skbcnt variable is used to identify CAN skbs in the RX path analogue to the skb->hash. As the skb hash is not filled in CAN skbs move the private skbcnt value to skb->hash and set skb->sw_hash accordingly. The skb->hash is a value used for RPS to identify skbs. Use it as intended.

packet: use consistent hard_header_len in non-ring send paths

2026-08-27T12:29:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 03390aa32e669cc4ecd7d34108e2e1afc13d689d ] packet_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len multiple times while allocating and constructing an skb. Device reconfiguration can change this value concurrently, for example through bonding device type changes. For SOCK_RAW, packet_snd() can save a larger value in reserve and later allocate headroom using a smaller value. Moving skb->data back by reserve then places it before skb->head, and the following copy from userspace can attempt an out-of-bounds write. packet_sendmsg_spkt() has the same issue because it calculates its reservation and header offset from separate reads before dropping the RCU read lock to allocate the skb. Add LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EX() for callers that already saved a header length. Read hard_header_len once in packet_snd() and use it for allocation and construction. In packet_sendmsg_spkt(), preserve the allocation-time value through the device lookup retry. The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and header_ops->create is not addressed here.

kcov: fix data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RT

2026-08-27T12:29:01+00:00

commit 2eed77fdcb0cc48e8eccb2bcd4b7f2c6d650e84c upstream. syzbot is reporting KCOV state corruption on PREEMPT_RT kernels, for the temporary storage used for saving/restoring remote KCOV state is currently allocated as the per-CPU area. On PREEMPT_RT kernels, softirq handlers run as preemptible task threads (e.g., ksoftirqd). If a softirq context preempts a task running a remote KCOV session, it safely saves the task's state into the per-CPU area. However, if that softirq thread is subsequently preempted by a higher- priority softirq thread on the same CPU, the second softirq will overwrite the same per-CPU area, permanently destroying the original task's KCOV state. Fix this data corruption by moving the temporary storage from the per-CPU area to the per-thread area. Since each softirq thread now owns its own task context, nested softirq preemption no longer causes data overwrites. Note that while the temporary storage is now on a per-thread basis, the per-CPU kcov_percpu_data.lock must be retained, for we need to ensure that kcov_remote_start() and kcov_remote_stop() operate atomically without racing against asynchronous interrupts that manipulate the current task's KCOV state. It is likely that GFP_KERNEL allocation by vmalloc_node() in kcov_init() has already called panic() before returning NULL, for there will be no OOM-killable userspace processes when __init function of built-in module runs. But this patch also fixes crashing the kernel when vmalloc_node() in kcov_init() returned NULL, for kcov_init() left per-CPU irq_area == NULL but kcov_remote_start() depends on per-CPU irq_area != NULL, resulting in (1) doing vmalloc() in kcov_remote_start() despite !in_task() context (2) out-of-array-bounds access if (1) succeeded but kcov->remote_size < CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE (3) always leak memory allocated by (1), eventually killing all OOM-killable userspace processes problems.

PCI: host-generic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on 32-bit CAM systems

2026-08-27T12:29:01+00:00

commit 008cb88edb41f3c7c8e0ed763ff9f26719830984 upstream. On 32-bit systems the config space is too large to ioremap in one go, so pci_ecam_create() maps each bus segment separately and relies on the ->add_bus callback (pci_ecam_add_bus) to populate the per-bus mapping in cfg->winp[]. pci_ecam_map_bus() then uses that mapping as the base for every config access. The generic ECAM ops (pci_generic_ecam_ops) already provide the ->add_bus and ->remove_bus callbacks, but the CAM (legacy) ops in pci-host-generic.c do not. As a result, on a 32-bit host using "pci-host-cam-generic" the per-bus mapping is never set up and the first config read dereferences a NULL base, crashing during bus enumeration: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000800 Oops [#1] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 6.9.7+ #43 Hardware name: Digilent Nexys-Video-A7 RV32 (DT) epc : pci_generic_config_read+0x40/0xb0 ra : pci_generic_config_read+0x2c/0xb0 [] pci_generic_config_read+0x40/0xb0 [] pci_bus_read_config_dword+0x50/0xb0 [] pci_bus_generic_read_dev_vendor_id+0x3c/0x1ec [] pci_scan_single_device+0xa4/0x11c [] pci_scan_slot+0x9c/0x23c [] pci_scan_child_bus_extend+0x58/0x2f4 [] pci_scan_root_bus_bridge+0x64/0xe8 [] pci_host_probe+0x20/0xc8 [] pci_host_common_probe+0x144/0x1e4 Fix this by giving the CAM ops the same ->add_bus/->remove_bus callbacks. Since pci_ecam_add_bus() and pci_ecam_remove_bus() are static to ecam.c, move the CAM ops definition there as pci_generic_cam_ops (mirroring pci_generic_ecam_ops) and export it for pci-host-generic.c to reference.

fs: don't block write during exec on pre-content watched files

[ Upstream commit 0357ef03c94ef835bd44a0658b8edb672a9dbf51 ] Commit 2a010c412853 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec") removed the legacy behavior of getting ETXTBSY on attempt to open and executable file for write while it is being executed. This commit was reverted because an application that depends on this legacy behavior was broken by the change. We need to allow HSM writing into executable files while executed to fill their content on-the-fly. To that end, disable the ETXTBSY legacy behavior for files that are watched by pre-content events. This change is not expected to cause regressions with existing systems which do not have any pre-content event listeners.

fsnotify: opt-in for permission events at file open time

2026-08-23T12:18:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit a94204f4d48e28a711b7ed10399f749286c433e3 ] Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode, parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that were already open at the time of setting up the watches. fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware, that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that one Anti-malware engine installed on a system. To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the filesystem at the time that the file was opened. The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the events types to report. This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.
