| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: af_alg - zero initialize memory allocated via sock_kmalloc
Several crypto user API contexts and requests allocated with
sock_kmalloc() were left uninitialized, relying on callers to
set fields explicitly. This resulted in the use of uninitialized
data in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the
future.
The ACVP patches also contain two user-space interface files:
algif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on proper
initialization of their context structures.
A particular issue has been observed with the newly added
'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit:
67b164a871af ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests")
Because the context is not memset to zero after allocation,
the inflight variable has contained garbage values. As a result,
af_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY randomly when
the garbage value was interpreted as true:
https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209
The check directly tests ctx->inflight without explicitly
comparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to
true or false later, an uninitialized value has triggered
-EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with
sock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known
state, removing random issues caused by uninitialized data. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: Check for the presence of LS_NLA_TYPE_DGID correctly
The netlink response for RDMA_NL_LS_OP_IP_RESOLVE should always have a
LS_NLA_TYPE_DGID attribute, it is invalid if it does not.
Use the nl parsing logic properly and call nla_parse_deprecated() to fill
the nlattrs array and then directly index that array to get the data for
the DGID. Just fail if it is NULL.
Remove the for loop searching for the nla, and squash the validation and
parsing into one function.
Fixes an uninitialized read from the stack triggered by userspace if it
does not provide the DGID to a kernel initiated RDMA_NL_LS_OP_IP_RESOLVE
query.

| Sandbox escape due to uninitialized memory in the DOM: Web Serial component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158, Firefox ESR 153.5, Thunderbird 158, and Thunderbird 153.5. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bpf: cast size to ssize_t when checking hid_bpf_hw_request
As reported by Sashiko:
If a transport driver encounters a hardware error and returns a negative
error code such as -EPIPE, ret is implicitly promoted to size_t when
compared against size. This causes the negative error code to evaluate
as a large positive number, making the (ret > size) condition true.
This silently converts the hardware error into a success return value
and copies the unmodified buffer back, which could leave BPF programs
operating on uninitialized or stale data.
Fix this by casting size into ssize_t to return the actual negative
error code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: zero gaps in read-gaps folio to avoid writing back stale data
netfs_read_gaps() leaves gaps around a streaming write's dirty region
unread on the server side, so a short/EOF response there left stale
folio content that later got written back.
Zero it after the read completes, not before: netfs_wait_for_read()
returns rreq->transferred once ret >= 0, so build an iterator over the
same bvec array the read used, advance past ret, and zero the rest.
The dirty region already maps to sink pages in that array rather than
the real folio, so this can't touch it, and only the actual shortfall
gets zeroed instead of the whole gap upfront. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: options: fix uninit-value in mptcp_write_data_fin
When sending a DATA_FIN without data, and because the DATA_FIN occupies
1 octet of the connection-level sequence space [1], it is then required
to add a DSS mapping with specific values.
If the checksum has been negotiated, it also needs to be computed, and
included in the outgoing packet, and thus the initial csum data needs to
be reset to 0 as well. This is no longer the case since commit
cfcceb7a39fc ("tcp: shrink per-packet memset in __tcp_transmit_skb()"),
because the whole ext_copy structure is no longer zeroed by default.
This seems to be the only case where use_map is changed and set
afterwards, so initialising the csum field only in this case, along with
other fields for this specific case. |
| Improper neutralization of special elements used in an LDAP query ('LDAP injection') vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer (LDAP module).
This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: before 2025.1.6 and from 2026.0.0 before 2026.0.4. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fill branch entries with a single assignment
perf_clear_branch_entry_bitfields() clears the bitfields of struct
perf_branch_entry one by one and leaves from/to alone, since callers
overwrite those straight away. The list has to be kept in sync with the
struct by hand and has already fallen behind: new_type and priv were
added to perf_branch_entry and never added here.
Only BRBE writes those two, and neither for every record.
brbe_set_perf_entry_type() leaves new_type alone for a branch type it
does not recognise, and priv is not set for source-only records.
arm_pmuv3.c allocates the per-CPU branch stack with kmalloc(), so such a
record reaches userspace with whatever the slot held: uninitialised
kmalloc() data on the first pass over the buffer, the previous record's
values after that. Nothing under arch/x86/events/ writes either field,
so only arm64 is affected.
Assign the whole entry at each site instead. Everything not named is
then zero, and there is no list to keep in sync. The bitfields add up to
exactly 64 bits, so the struct has no padding to leave undefined.
perf_clear_branch_entry_bitfields() has no callers left, so remove it.
perf_entry_from_brbe_regset() assigns an empty literal instead, since it
fills from/to conditionally. PERF_BR_SPEC_NA is 0, so dropping the
explicit spec assignment changes nothing. |
| LDAP filter injection in Zimbra Collaboration Suite 10.1.0 through 10.1.21 allows unauthenticated attackers to alter external LDAP search filters. On domains using search-filter authentication and lazy provisioning, this creates a password oracle for external directory users. Authenticated S/MIME lookups can also return certificates and identity data for unintended directory entries. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: init gssp_lock before publishing proc entry
create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry() publishes /proc/net/rpc/use-gss-proxy
via proc_create_data() before init_gssp_clnt() runs mutex_init() on
sn->gssp_lock. Once the dentry is linked under proc_subdir_lock it is
immediately reachable from userspace, so a write that lands in the
window drives set_gssp_clnt() into mutex_lock() on a zero-initialized
struct mutex.
create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry(net)
proc_create_data("use-gss-proxy", ...) /* dentry live */
init_gssp_clnt(sn)
mutex_init(&sn->gssp_lock) /* too late */
write_gssp()
set_gssp_clnt(net)
mutex_lock(&sn->gssp_lock) /* uninitialized */
gssp_rpc_create(...)
sn->gssp_clnt = clnt
mutex_unlock(&sn->gssp_lock)
The window spans only the two statements between proc_create_data()
returning and init_gssp_clnt(), so a writer reaches it only if the
registering thread is preempted there while another task is already
opening the freshly published file. register_pernet_subsys() runs in
preemptible context under pernet_ops_rwsem, so that preemption is
possible, and the window widens on auth_rpcgss module load, when the
proc entry is created for every live net namespace whose tasks are
already running. A writer that wins the race locks a zero-filled
struct mutex. On CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES the missing magic value trips a
"lock used without init" splat; on a production kernel the fast path
acquires the lock via CMPXCHG(owner, 0, current). In the latter case
a second writer that arrives before init_gssp_clnt() re-zeroes owner
can enter set_gssp_clnt() concurrently, shut down the first writer's
clnt while it is still in use, and leak the loser's clnt.
Fix by initializing sn->gssp_lock in sunrpc_init_net() so its lifetime
matches the sunrpc_net it lives in. sn->gssp_clnt is already NULL from
the kzalloc that backs net_generic storage, so the lazy helper is no
longer needed; drop init_gssp_clnt(), its prototype, and the call from
create_use_gss_proxy_proc_entry(). sunrpc.ko is a build-time
dependency of auth_rpcgss.ko, so sunrpc_init_net() has always run on
every netns before any auth_gss pernet init can publish the proc
entry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dibs: initialise dibs->lock in dibs_dev_alloc()
dibs->lock is initialised by dibs_dev_add(), but a dibs device can
already take interrupts before that call: ism_probe() runs
ism_dev_init(), and hence request_irq(), before it calls
dibs_dev_add(). No client can have registered a dmb at that point, so
no dmb interrupt can occur, but a GID event interrupt can, and
ism_handle_irq() takes dibs->lock unconditionally on entry, before it
inspects anything else.
Initialise the lock in dibs_dev_alloc() instead, so that it is valid as
soon as a driver can publish the device to its interrupt handler. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Zero the tile state data array before each BIN job
The binner BO is a single 16MB buffer split into 512KB slots that are
handed out to jobs at submission time and recycled as jobs complete,
without ever being cleared. Each slot holds the job's Tile State Data
Array (TSDA) at its start, followed by the tile allocation pool.
While the tile allocation pool is only walked by the render thread
through branches the binner generated during the current job, the
TSDA is the PTB's own per-tile bookkeeping and is consumed by the
hardware itself. Although the kernel sets the "Auto-initialise Tile
State Data Array" flag in the tile binning mode configuration, the
PTB demonstrably still acts on stale tile state left by the slot's
previous user: the binner ends up creating invalid command streams
with invalid primitive streams and branches, which can cause GPU hangs
as observed in [1][2].
Zero the TSDA when the job's binning slot is configured. This clears
48 bytes per tile (~24KB for a 1080p frame) in the submission path, and
guarantees the PTB never sees another job's tile state.
The tile count is only checked for being non-zero today, so the 8-bit
fields it comes from can describe a tile state array almost six times
larger than the slot it has to live in. Bound it before the slot is
handed out, since such size decides how much of the slot is left for
the tile alloc pool. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mm_init: fix uninitialized struct pages for ZONE_DEVICE
If DAX memory is hotplugged into an unoccupied subsection of an early
section, section_activate() reuses the unoptimized boot memmap. However,
compound_nr_pages() still assumes that vmemmap optimization is in effect
and initializes only the reduced number of struct pages. As a result, the
remaining tail struct pages are left uninitialized, which can later lead
to unexpected behavior or crashes.
Fix this by treating early sections as unoptimized when calculating how
many struct pages to initialize. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: always fill AVC decision in avc_has_perm_noaudit()
avc_has_perm_noaudit() is documented to return a copy of the access
decision in @avd, but its early return for an empty requested permission
set leaves the buffer untouched. All callers pass an uninitialized
stack variable and afterwards feed it to avc_audit(), and the inode hook
even stores it in the per-task decision cache.
Fill in a deny-all, audit-all decision, similar to avd_init(), so every
caller receives a defined value at no cost on the hot path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/crypto: Fix skcipher_walk return code handling in aes_s390
The return codes from skcipher_walk_virt() were not properly checked
before entering the processing loops in ecb_aes_crypt() and ctr_aes_crypt().
If skcipher_walk_virt() fails, the walk structure may be in an undefined
state, and attempting to process data could lead to incorrect behavior
or accessing uninitialized memory.
Add proper return code checking to ensure correct handling of the walk
initialization and walk advance and eventually return to the caller
with that return code. |
