In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: use kvzalloc to allocate struct dc struct dc has grown large over time (most of it the two inlined dc_scratch_space copies) and now sits close to the page allocator's 4 MiB contiguous allocation limit. Its actual size is not fixed by the source alone, it also depends on the compiler and the .config, so it can easily cross 4 MiB, e.g. with a newer GCC or a config change. dc_create() allocates it with kzalloc(). Once struct dc exceeds 4 MiB the request is rounded up to order 11 (8 MiB), which is above MAX_PAGE_ORDER, so the page allocator warns and returns NULL. dc_create() then fails, DM init fails and amdgpu probe aborts with -EINVAL: WARNING: mm/page_alloc.c:5197 at __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0x2f9/0x380 dc_create+0x38/0x660 [amdgpu] amdgpu_dm_init+0x2d9/0x510 [amdgpu] dm_hw_init+0x1b/0x90 [amdgpu] amdgpu_device_init.cold+0x150d/0x1e13 [amdgpu] amdgpu_driver_load_kms+0x19/0x80 [amdgpu] amdgpu_pci_probe+0x1e2/0x4c0 [amdgpu] dc_create() then returns NULL and DM init fails, which aborts the whole GPU init and makes amdgpu probe fail with -EINVAL ("hw_init of IP block <dm> failed -22"), leaving the display unusable. The subsequent amdgpu_irq_put() warnings during teardown are just fallout of unwinding a half-initialized device. struct dc is a software-only bookkeeping structure that is never handed to hardware DMA and is only ever kept as an opaque pointer, so it does not require physically contiguous memory. Allocate it with kvzalloc() (and free it with kvfree()) so that the allocator can fall back to vmalloc() when a contiguous allocation of that size is not available, which also avoids the MAX_PAGE_ORDER warning entirely. v2: - Rebase to amd-staging-drm-next.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost: fix hung thread due to     erroneous iotlb entries In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when start is 0 and     last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with     iova=size=uaddr=0 (vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0, last = ULONG_MAX ends     up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent, iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous     entry.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hns3: add vlan list lock to     protect vlan list When adding port base VLAN, vf VLAN need to remove from HW and modify the vlan state in     vf VLAN list as false. If the periodicity task is freeing the same node, it may cause use after free     error. This patch adds a vlan list lock to protect the vlan list. (CVE-2022-49182)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd: Fix crash due to race     between amd_pmu_enable_all, perf NMI and throttling amd_pmu_enable_all() does: if (!test_bit(idx,     cpuc->active_mask)) continue; amd_pmu_enable_event(cpuc->events[idx]); A perf NMI of another event can     come between these two steps. Perf NMI handler internally disables and enables _all_ events, including the     one which nmi-intercepted amd_pmu_enable_all() was in process of enabling. If that unintentionally enabled     event has very low sampling period and causes immediate successive NMI, causing the event to be throttled,     cpuc->events[idx] and cpuc->active_mask gets cleared by x86_pmu_stop(). This will result in     amd_pmu_enable_event() getting called with event=NULL when amd_pmu_enable_all() resumes after handling the     NMIs. This causes a kernel crash: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000198 #PF:

We can just disable BRS in the beginning and     enable it back while returning from NMI. This will solve the issue by not enabling those events whose     active_masks are set but are not yet enabled in hw pmu. (CVE-2022-49781)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-iolatency: Fix memory leak on     add_disk() failures When a gendisk is successfully initialized but add_disk() fails such as when a loop     device has invalid number of minor device numbers specified, blkcg_init_disk() is called during init and     then blkcg_exit_disk() during error handling. Unfortunately, iolatency gets initialized in the former but     doesn't get cleaned up in the latter. This is because, in non-error cases, the cleanup is performed by     del_gendisk() calling rq_qos_exit(), the assumption being that rq_qos policies, iolatency being one of     them, can only be activated once the disk is fully registered and visible. That assumption is true for wbt     and iocost, but not so for iolatency as it gets initialized before add_disk() is called. It is desirable     to lazy-init rq_qos policies because they are optional features and add to hot path overhead once     initialized - each IO has to walk all the registered rq_qos policies. So, we want to switch iolatency to     lazy init too. However, that's a bigger change. As a fix for the immediate problem, let's just add an     extra call to rq_qos_exit() in blkcg_exit_disk(). This is safe because duplicate calls to rq_qos_exit()     become noop's. (CVE-2022-50550)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: roles: fix NULL pointer issue     when put module's reference In current design, usb role class driver will get usb_role_switch parent's     module reference after the user get usb_role_switch device and put the reference after the user put the     usb_role_switch device. However, the parent device of usb_role_switch may be removed before the user put     the usb_role_switch. If so, then, NULL pointer issue will be met when the user put the parent module's     reference. This will save the module pointer in structure of usb_role_switch. Then, we don't need to find     module by iterating long relations. (CVE-2024-26747)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix reading strings from     synthetic events The follow commands caused a crash: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 's:open char file[]'     > dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:file=filename:onchange($file).trace(open,$file)' >     events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger' # echo 1 > events/synthetic/open/enable BOOM! The problem is     that the synthetic event field char file[] will read the value given to it as a string without any     memory checks to make sure the address is valid. The above example will pass in the user space address and     the sythetic event code will happily call strlen() on it and then strscpy() where either one will cause an     oops when accessing user space addresses. Use the helper functions from trace_kprobe and trace_eprobe that     can read strings safely (and actually succeed when the address is from user space and the memory is mapped     in).

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: HWS, change error flow on     matcher disconnect Currently, when firmware failure occurs during matcher disconnect flow, the error flow     of the function reconnects the matcher back and returns an error, which continues running the calling     function and eventually frees the matcher that is being disconnected. This leads to a case where we have a     freed matcher on the matchers list, which in turn leads to use-after-free and eventual crash. This patch     fixes that by not trying to reconnect the matcher back when some FW command fails during disconnect. Note     that we're dealing here with FW error. We can't overcome this problem. This might lead to bad steering     state (e.g. wrong connection between matchers), and will also lead to resource leakage, as it is the case     with any other error handling during resource destruction. However, the goal here is to allow the driver     to continue and not crash the machine with use-after-free error. (CVE-2025-21751)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Avoid memory leak while     enabling statistics Driver uses monitor destination rings for extended statistics mode and standalone     monitor mode. In extended statistics mode, TLVs are parsed from the buffer received from the monitor     destination ring and assigned to the ppdu_info structure to update per-packet statistics. In standalone     monitor mode, along with per-packet statistics, the packet data (payload) is captured, and the driver     updates per MSDU to mac80211. When the AP interface is enabled, only extended statistics mode is     activated. As part of enabling monitor rings for collecting statistics, the driver subscribes to     HAL_RX_MPDU_START TLV in the filter configuration. This TLV is received from the monitor destination ring,     and kzalloc for the mon_mpdu object occurs, which is not freed, leading to a memory leak. The kzalloc for     the mon_mpdu object is only required while enabling the standalone monitor interface. This causes a memory     leak while enabling extended statistics mode in the driver. Fix this memory leak by removing the kzalloc     for the mon_mpdu object in the HAL_RX_MPDU_START TLV handling. Additionally, remove the standalone monitor     mode handlings in the HAL_MON_BUF_ADDR and HAL_RX_MSDU_END TLVs. These TLV tags will be handled properly     when enabling standalone monitor mode in the future.
