Title
tls: Fix race condition in tls_sw_cancel_work_tx()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: Fix race condition in tls_sw_cancel_work_tx()
This issue was discovered during a code audit.
After cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called from tls_sk_proto_close(),
tx_work_handler() can still be scheduled from paths such as the
Delayed ACK handler or ksoftirqd.
As a result, the tx_work_handler() worker may dereference a freed
TLS object.
The following is a simple race scenario:
cpu0 cpu1
tls_sk_proto_close()
tls_sw_cancel_work_tx()
tls_write_space()
tls_sw_write_space()
if (!test_and_set_bit(BIT_TX_SCHEDULED, &tx_ctx->tx_bitmask))
set_bit(BIT_TX_SCHEDULED, &ctx->tx_bitmask);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&ctx->tx_work.work);
schedule_delayed_work(&tx_ctx->tx_work.work, 0);
To prevent this race condition, cancel_delayed_work_sync() is
replaced with disable_delayed_work_sync().

Title
vxlan: validate ND option lengths in vxlan_na_create
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: validate ND option lengths in vxlan_na_create
vxlan_na_create() walks ND options according to option-provided
lengths. A malformed option can make the parser advance beyond the
computed option span or use a too-short source LLADDR option payload.
Validate option lengths against the remaining NS option area before
advancing, and only read source LLADDR when the option is large enough
for an Ethernet address.
Severity
No CVSS data available.

Title
ipv6: icmp: clear skb2->cb[] in ip6_err_gen_icmpv6_unreach()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: icmp: clear skb2->cb[] in ip6_err_gen_icmpv6_unreach()
Sashiko AI-review observed:
In ip6_err_gen_icmpv6_unreach(), the skb is an outer IPv4 ICMP error packet
where its cb contains an IPv4 inet_skb_parm. When skb is cloned into skb2
and passed to icmp6_send(), it uses IP6CB(skb2).
IP6CB interprets the IPv4 inet_skb_parm as an inet6_skb_parm. The cipso
offset in inet_skb_parm.opt directly overlaps with dsthao in inet6_skb_parm
at offset 18.
If an attacker sends a forged ICMPv4 error with a CIPSO IP option, dsthao
would be a non-zero offset. Inside icmp6_send(), mip6_addr_swap() is called
and uses ipv6_find_tlv(skb, opt->dsthao, IPV6_TLV_HAO).
This would scan the inner, attacker-controlled IPv6 packet starting at that
offset, potentially returning a fake TLV without checking if the remaining
packet length can hold the full 18-byte struct ipv6_destopt_hao.
Could mip6_addr_swap() then perform a 16-byte swap that extends past the end
of the packet data into skb_shared_info?
Should the cb array also be cleared in ip6_err_gen_icmpv6_unreach() and
ip6ip6_err() to prevent this?
This patch implements the first suggestion.
I am not sure if ip6ip6_err() needs to be changed.
A separate patch would be better anyway.

Title
KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected GFN
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected GFN
The shadow MMU computes GFNs for direct shadow pages using sp->gfn plus
the SPTE index. This assumption breaks for shadow paging if the guest
page tables are modified between VM entries (similar to commit
aad885e77496, "KVM: x86/mmu: Drop/zap existing present SPTE even
when creating an MMIO SPTE", 2026-03-27). The flow is as follows:
- a PDE is installed for a 2MB mapping, and a page in that area is
accessed. KVM creates a kvm_mmu_page consisting of 512 4KB pages;
the kvm_mmu_page is marked by FNAME(fetch) as direct-mapped because
the guest's mapping is a huge page (and thus contiguous).
- the PDE mapping is changed from outside the guest.
- the guest accesses another page in the same 2MB area. KVM installs
a new leaf SPTE and rmap entry; the SPTE uses the "correct" GFN
(i.e. based on the new mapping, as changed in the previous step) but
that GFN is outside of the [sp->gfn, sp->gfn + 511] range; therefore
the rmap entry cannot be found and removed when the kvm_mmu_page
is zapped.
- the memslot that covers the first 2MB mapping is deleted, and the
kvm_mmu_page for the now-invalid GPA is zapped. However, rmap_remove()
only looks at the [sp->gfn, sp->gfn + 511] range established in step 1,
and fails to find the rmap entry that was recorded by step 3.
- any operation that causes an rmap walk for the same page accessed
by step 3 then walks a stale rmap and dereferences a freed kvm_mmu_page.
This includes dirty logging or MMU notifier invalidations (e.g., from
MADV_DONTNEED).
The underlying issue is that KVM's walking of shadow PTEs assumes that
if a SPTE is present when KVM wants to install a non-leaf SPTE, then the
existing kvm_mmu_page must be for the correct gfn. Because the only way
for the gfn to be wrong is if KVM messed up and failed to zap a SPTE...
which shouldn't happen, but *actually* only happens in response to a
guest write.
That bug dates back literally forever, as even the first version of KVM
assumes that the GFN matches and walks into the "wrong" shadow page.
However, that was only an imprecision until 2032a93d66fa ("KVM: MMU:
Don't allocate gfns page for direct mmu pages") came along.
Fix it by checking for a target gfn mismatch and zapping the existing
SPTE. That way the old SP and rmap entries are gone, KVM installs
the rmap in the right location, and everyone is happy.

Title
KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role
Commit 0cb2af2ea66ad ("KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due
to unexpected GFN") fixed a shadow paging mismatch between stored and
computed GFNs; the bug could be triggered by changing a PDE mapping from
outside the guest, and then deleting a memslot. The rmap_remove()
call would miss entries created after the PDE change because the GFN
of the leaf SPTE does not match the GFN of the struct kvm_mmu_page.
A similar hole however remains if the modified PDE points to a non-leaf
page. In this case the gfn can be made to match, but the role does not
match: the original large 2MB page creates a kvm_mmu_page with direct=1,
while the new 4KB needs a kvm_mmu_page with direct=0. However,
kvm_mmu_get_child_sp() does not compare the role, and therefore reuses
the page.
The next step is installing a leaf (4KB) SPTE on the new path which
records an rmap entry under the gfn resolved by the walk. But when
that child is zapped its parent kvm_mmu_page has direct=1 and
kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn() computes the gfn for the 4KB page as
sp->gfn + index instead of using sp->shadowed_translation[] (or sp->gfns[]
in older kernels). It therefore fails to remove the recorded entry.
When the memslot is dropped the shadow page is freed but the rmap
entry survives, as in the scenario that was already fixed. Code that
later walks that gfn (dirty logging, MMU notifier invalidation, and
so on) dereferences an sptep that lies in the freed page, causing the
use-after-free.

Title
ipv4: account for fraggap on the paged allocation path
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: account for fraggap on the paged allocation path
In __ip_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken,
alloclen and pagedlen are computed as
alloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen;
pagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen;
datalen already includes fraggap, but the fraggap bytes carried over
from the previous skb are copied into the new skb's linear area at
offset transhdrlen by the subsequent skb_copy_and_csum_bits(). The
linear area is therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is
overstated by the same amount.
The non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts
for fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by
adding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen.
After this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the
paged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic.

"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv4: account for fraggap on the paged allocation path\n\nIn __ip_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken,\nalloclen and pagedlen are computed as\n\n\talloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen;\n\tpagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen;\n\ndatalen already includes fraggap, but the fraggap bytes carried over\nfrom the previous skb are copied into the new skb\u0027s linear area at\noffset transhdrlen by the subsequent skb_copy_and_csum_bits(). The\nlinear area is therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is\noverstated by the same amount.\n\nThe non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts\nfor fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by\nadding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen.\n\nAfter this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the\npaged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached while a local process constructs outgoing IPv4 UDP/raw/ping datagrams through sendmsg/splice/sendfile-style socket paths. I did not find a defensible received-packet or unauthenticated remote path that supplies the required cork/MSG_MORE-style fraggap conditions.\nAC:L - The attacker can choose UDP socket options/flags, payload sizes, corking/MSG_MORE behavior, and splice/zerocopy-style paged sends to reach the fraggap paged-allocation path. There is no race or external timing condition required.\nPR:L - A normal unprivileged local user can create IPv4 UDP sockets and use UDP_CORK/MSG_MORE/splice or related paged send paths; raw sockets are CAP_NET_RAW-gated but are not needed for the strongest local trigger. This is therefore basic local user privilege, not real administrator privilege.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required once the attacker can run the local send/splice sequence. The vulnerable skb construction happens synchronously in the attacker-driven socket send path.\nS:U - The impact is within the same kernel security authority as the vulnerable IPv4 networking code. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary violation.\nC:H - The bug under-allocates/accounting for the linear skb area and can copy attacker-controlled fraggap bytes past skb-\u003eend into trailing skb_shared_info metadata. Kernel memory corruption of this kind is reasonably capable of being developed into information disclosure, so the higher severity confidentiality value is appropriate.\nI:H - The copied fraggap bytes corrupt kernel skb metadata past the intended buffer boundary. This is an out-of-bounds write in kernel heap/networking structures and is scored as high integrity impact.\nA:H - The corrupted skb metadata can crash or destabilize the kernel networking stack, and related negative-copy accounting can also produce severe send-path failure behavior. Kernel crash or oops potential is high availability impact."
