CVE-2024-53685 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: give up on paths longer than PATH_MAX If the full path to be built by ceph_mdsc_build_path() happens to be longer than PATH_MAX, then this function will enter an endless (retry) loop, effectively blocking the whole task. Most of the machine becomes unusable, making this a very simple and effective DoS vulnerability. I cannot imagine why this retry was ever implemented, but it seems rather useless and harmful to me. Let's remove it and fail with ENAMETOOLONG instead.
CVE-2024-53682 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regulator: axp20x: AXP717: set ramp_delay AXP717 datasheet says that regulator ramp delay is 15.625 us/step, which is 10mV in our case. Add a AXP_DESC_RANGES_DELAY macro and update AXP_DESC_RANGES macro to expand to AXP_DESC_RANGES_DELAY with ramp_delay = 0 For DCDC4, steps is 100mv Add a AXP_DESC_DELAY macro and update AXP_DESC macro to expand to AXP_DESC_DELAY with ramp_delay = 0 This patch fix crashes when using CPU DVFS.
CVE-2024-49573 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/fair: Fix NEXT_BUDDY Adam reports that enabling NEXT_BUDDY insta triggers a WARN in pick_next_entity(). Moving clear_buddies() up before the delayed dequeue bits ensures no ->next buddy becomes delayed. Further ensure no new ->next buddy ever starts as delayed.
CVE-2024-49571 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: check iparea_offset and ipv6_prefixes_cnt when receiving proposal msg When receiving proposal msg in server, the field iparea_offset and the field ipv6_prefixes_cnt in proposal msg are from the remote client and can not be fully trusted. Especially the field iparea_offset, once exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong address, and crash may happen. This patch checks iparea_offset and ipv6_prefixes_cnt before using them.
CVE-2024-49568 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: check v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt when receiving proposal msg When receiving proposal msg in server, the fields v2_ext_offset/ eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt in proposal msg are from the remote client and can not be fully trusted. Especially the field v2_ext_offset, once exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong address, and crash may happen. This patch checks the fields v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt before using them.
CVE-2024-47408 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: check smcd_v2_ext_offset when receiving proposal msg When receiving proposal msg in server, the field smcd_v2_ext_offset in proposal msg is from the remote client and can not be fully trusted. Once the value of smcd_v2_ext_offset exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong address, and crash may happen. This patch checks the value of smcd_v2_ext_offset before using it.
CVE-2024-41932 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched: fix warning in sched_setaffinity Commit 8f9ea86fdf99b added some logic to sched_setaffinity that included a WARN when a per-task affinity assignment races with a cpuset update. Specifically, we can have a race where a cpuset update results in the task affinity no longer being a subset of the cpuset. That's fine; we have a fallback to instead use the cpuset mask. However, we have a WARN set up that will trigger if the cpuset mask has no overlap at all with the requested task affinity. This shouldn't be a warning condition; its trivial to create this condition. Reproduced the warning by the following setup: - $PID inside a cpuset cgroup - another thread repeatedly switching the cpuset cpus from 1-2 to just 1 - another thread repeatedly setting the $PID affinity (via taskset) to 2
CVE-2023-52925 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 6.2 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: don't fail inserts if duplicate has expired nftables selftests fail: run-tests.sh testcases/sets/0044interval_overlap_0 Expected: 0-2 . 0-3, got: W: [FAILED] ./testcases/sets/0044interval_overlap_0: got 1 Insertion must ignore duplicate but expired entries. Moreover, there is a strange asymmetry in nft_pipapo_activate: It refetches the current element, whereas the other ->activate callbacks (bitmap, hash, rhash, rbtree) use elem->priv. Same for .remove: other set implementations take elem->priv, nft_pipapo_remove fetches elem->priv, then does a relookup, remove this. I suspect this was the reason for the change that prompted the removal of the expired check in pipapo_get() in the first place, but skipping exired elements there makes no sense to me, this helper is used for normal get requests, insertions (duplicate check) and deactivate callback. In first two cases expired elements must be skipped. For ->deactivate(), this gets called for DELSETELEM, so it seems to me that expired elements should be skipped as well, i.e. delete request should fail with -ENOENT error.
CVE-2023-52924 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip expired elements during walk There is an asymmetry between commit/abort and preparation phase if the following conditions are met: 1. set is a verdict map ("1.2.3.4 : jump foo") 2. timeouts are enabled In this case, following sequence is problematic: 1. element E in set S refers to chain C 2. userspace requests removal of set S 3. kernel does a set walk to decrement chain->use count for all elements from preparation phase 4. kernel does another set walk to remove elements from the commit phase (or another walk to do a chain->use increment for all elements from abort phase) If E has already expired in 1), it will be ignored during list walk, so its use count won't have been changed. Then, when set is culled, ->destroy callback will zap the element via nf_tables_set_elem_destroy(), but this function is only safe for elements that have been deactivated earlier from the preparation phase: lack of earlier deactivate removes the element but leaks the chain use count, which results in a WARN splat when the chain gets removed later, plus a leak of the nft_chain structure. Update pipapo_get() not to skip expired elements, otherwise flush command reports bogus ENOENT errors.
CVE-2023-52923 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API Use the GC transaction API to replace the old and buggy gc API and the busy mark approach. No set elements are removed from async garbage collection anymore, instead the _DEAD bit is set on so the set element is not visible from lookup path anymore. Async GC enqueues transaction work that might be aborted and retried later. rbtree and pipapo set backends does not set on the _DEAD bit from the sync GC path since this runs in control plane path where mutex is held. In this case, set elements are deactivated, removed and then released via RCU callback, sync GC never fails.

CVE-2022-49147 2 Linux, Redhat 2 Linux Kernel, Enterprise Linux 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: Fix the maximum minor value is blk_alloc_ext_minor() ida_alloc_range(..., min, max, ...) returns values from min to max, inclusive. So, NR_EXT_DEVT is a valid idx returned by blk_alloc_ext_minor(). This is an issue because in device_add_disk(), this value is used in: ddev->devt = MKDEV(disk->major, disk->first_minor); and NR_EXT_DEVT is '(1 << MINORBITS)'. So, should 'disk->first_minor' be NR_EXT_DEVT, it would overflow.

That callback is used by some transports (e.g. virtio-pci) to enable interrupts. Let's fix it, by calling virtio_device_ready() as we do in virtio_dev_probe(). This function calls .enable_cts callback and sets DRIVER_OK status bit. This fix also avoids setting DRIVER_OK twice for those drivers that call virtio_device_ready() in the .restore.
CVE-2022-49142 2 Linux, Redhat 2 Linux Kernel, Enterprise Linux 2025-10-15 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: preserve skb_end_offset() in skb_unclone_keeptruesize() syzbot found another way to trigger the infamous WARN_ON_ONCE(delta < len) in skb_try_coalesce() [1] I was able to root cause the issue to kfence. When kfence is in action, the following assertion is no longer true: int size = xxxx; void *ptr1 = kmalloc(size, gfp); void *ptr2 = kmalloc(size, gfp); if (ptr1 && ptr2) ASSERT(ksize(ptr1) == ksize(ptr2)); We attempted to fix these issues in the blamed commits, but forgot that TCP was possibly shifting data after skb_unclone_keeptruesize() has been used, notably from tcp_retrans_try_collapse(). So we not only need to keep same skb->truesize value, we also need to make sure TCP wont fill new tailroom that pskb_expand_head() was able to get from a addr = kmalloc(...) followed by ksize(addr) Split skb_unclone_keeptruesize() into two parts: 1) Inline skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the common case, when skb is not cloned. 2) Out of line __skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the 'slow path'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/mce: Work around an erratum on fast string copy instructions A rare kernel panic scenario can happen when the following conditions are met due to an erratum on fast string copy instructions: 1) An uncorrected error. 2) That error must be in first cache line of a page. 3) Kernel must execute page_copy from the page immediately before that page. The fast string copy instructions ("REP; MOVS*") could consume an uncorrectable memory error in the cache line _right after_ the desired region to copy and raise an MCE. Bit 0 of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE can be cleared to disable fast string copy and will avoid such spurious machine checks. However, that is less preferable due to the permanent performance impact. Considering memory poison is rare, it's desirable to keep fast string copy enabled until an MCE is seen. Intel has confirmed the following: 1. The CPU erratum of fast string copy only applies to Skylake, Cascade Lake and Cooper Lake generations. Directly return from the MCE handler: 2. Will result in complete execution of the "REP; MOVS*" with no data loss or corruption. 3. Will not result in another MCE firing on the next poisoned cache line due to "REP; MOVS*". 4. Will resume execution from a correct point in code. 5. Will result in the same instruction that triggered the MCE firing a second MCE immediately for any other software recoverable data fetch errors. 6. Is not safe without disabling the fast string copy, as the next fast string copy of the same buffer on the same CPU would result in a PANIC MCE. This should mitigate the erratum completely with the only caveat that the fast string copy is disabled on the affected hyper thread thus performance degradation. This is still better than the OS crashing on MCEs raised on an irrelevant process due to "REP; MOVS*' accesses in a kernel context, e.g., copy_page. Injected errors on 1st cache line of 8 anonymous pages of process 'proc1' and observed MCE consumption from 'proc2' with no panic (directly returned). Without the fix, the host panicked within a few minutes on a random 'proc2' process due to kernel access from copy_page.
