[ Upstream commit a3f3859cecacb64f18fd446271ece9a3b3f2d4de ]

When a caller provides a `supplied_recv` message to i_ipmi_request(),
the function increments the user's `nr_msgs` reference count. If an
error occurs later, the out_err cleanup path only frees the recv_msg
if the function allocated it itself (i.e., !supplied_recv). In the
supplied_recv case the cleanup is skipped, leaving the reference count
elevated. The caller ipmi_request_supply_msgs() does not release the
supplied_recv on error, so the reference is permanently leaked.

Fix this by explicitly reverting the reference count operations when a
supplied recv_msg with a valid user pointer is present in the error
path: decrement nr_msgs and drop the user's kref.

tpm: Make the TPM character devices non-seekable 2026-07-24T14:03:38+00:00 Jaewon Yang yong010301@gmail.com 2026-07-12T17:11:47+00:00 9c513dabd4540f811585a2087f23069767a284da commit f20d61c22bcaf172d6790b6500e3838e532e71c8 upstream. The TPM character devices expose a sequential command/response interface, but their open handlers leave FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE enabled.

Positional I/O does not provide coherent semantics for this interface. An arbitrary pread offset cannot represent how much of a response has been consumed sequentially.

commit f20d61c22bcaf172d6790b6500e3838e532e71c8 upstream.

The TPM character devices expose a sequential command/response
interface, but their open handlers leave FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE
enabled.

After a command leaves a response pending, pread(fd, buf, 16, 0x1400)
passes 0x1400 as *off to tpm_common_read(). The transfer length is
bounded by response_length, but the offset is used unchecked when
forming data_buffer + *off. A sufficiently large offset therefore causes
an out-of-bounds heap read through copy_to_user() and, if the copy
succeeds, an out-of-bounds zero-write through the following memset().

Positional I/O does not provide coherent semantics for this interface.
An arbitrary pread offset cannot represent how much of a response has
been consumed sequentially. The write callback always stores a command
at the start of data_buffer, while pwrite() does not update file->f_pos
and can leave the sequential read cursor stale.

Call nonseekable_open() from both open handlers. This removes
FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE, causing positional reads and writes to
fail with -ESPIPE before reaching the TPM callbacks, and explicitly
marks the files non-seekable. Normal read() and write() continue to use
the existing sequential f_pos cursor, leaving the response state machine
unchanged.

commit e3046eeada299f917a8ad883af4434bfb86556b1 upstream.

random_recv_done() stores the device-reported used.len directly into
vi->data_avail.  copy_data() then indexes vi->data[] using
vi->data_idx (advanced by previous copy_data() calls) and issues a
memcpy() without re-validating either value against the posted
buffer size sizeof(vi->data) (SMP_CACHE_BYTES bytes, typically 32
or 64).

A malicious or buggy virtio-rng backend can set used.len beyond
sizeof(vi->data), steering the memcpy() past the end of the inline
array into adjacent kmalloc-1k slab bytes.  hwrng_fillfn() mixes
those bytes into the guest RNG, and guest root can also observe
them directly via /dev/hwrng.

Concrete impact is inside the guest:

 - Memory-safety / hardening: any virtio-rng backend that
   over-reports used.len causes the driver to read past vi->data
   into unrelated slab contents.  hwrng_fillfn() is a kernel thread
   that runs as soon as the device is probed; no guest userspace
   interaction is required to first-trigger the OOB.

 - Cross-boundary leak (confidential-compute threat model): a
   malicious hypervisor cooperating with a malicious or compromised
   guest root userspace can use /dev/hwrng as a leak channel for
   guest-kernel heap data.  The host sets a large used.len, guest
   root reads /dev/hwrng, and the returned bytes contain guest
   kernel slab contents that were adjacent to vi->data.  In
   practice, confidential-compute guests (SEV-SNP, TDX) usually
   disable virtio-rng entirely, so this path is narrow, but the
   fix is still worth carrying because the underlying
   memory-safety bug contaminates the guest RNG on any host.

KASAN confirms the OOB on a 7.1-rc4 guest whose virtio-rng backend
has been patched to report used.len = 0x10000:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in virtio_read+0x394/0x5d0

Same class of bug as commit c04db81cd028 ("net/9p: Fix buffer
overflow in USB transport layer"), which hardened
usb9pfs_rx_complete() against unchecked device-reported length in
the USB 9p transport.

With the clamp at point of use and array_index_nospec() in place,
the same harness boots cleanly: copy_data() returns zero for the
bogus report, the device-supplied bytes after data_idx are
discarded, and the driver issues a fresh request.

agp/amd64: Fix broken error propagation in agp_amd64_probe() 2026-07-04T11:42:19+00:00 Mingyu Wang 25181214217@stu.xidian.edu.cn 2026-05-04T07:48:23+00:00 eb045714bc6a2bbb0befb7a31b996a196e188869 commit b08472db93b1ccff84a7adec5779d47f0e9d3a30 upstream. A NULL pointer dereference was observed in the AMD64 AGP driver when running in a virtualized environment (e.g. qemu/kvm) without a physical AMD northbridge. The crash occurs in amd64_fetch_size() when attempting to dereference the pointer returned by node_to_amd_nb(0). The root cause of this crash is broken error propagation in agp_amd64_probe(): When no AMD northbridges are found, cache_nbs() correctly returns -ENODEV. However, the probe function erroneously checks the return value against exactly -1, rather than < 0.

commit b08472db93b1ccff84a7adec5779d47f0e9d3a30 upstream.

A NULL pointer dereference was observed in the AMD64 AGP driver when
running in a virtualized environment (e.g. qemu/kvm) without a physical
AMD northbridge. The crash occurs in amd64_fetch_size() when attempting
to dereference the pointer returned by node_to_amd_nb(0).

The root cause of this crash is broken error propagation in
agp_amd64_probe(): When no AMD northbridges are found, cache_nbs()
correctly returns -ENODEV. However, the probe function erroneously
checks the return value against exactly -1, rather than < 0.

As a result, the hardware absence error is masked, allowing the driver
to improperly proceed with initialization. It eventually calls
agp_add_bridge(), which invokes amd64_fetch_size(). Since the hardware
does not exist, node_to_amd_nb(0) returns NULL, leading to a General
Protection Fault (GPF) when accessing its ->misc member.

Fix the issue by correcting the error check in agp_amd64_probe() to
abort properly when cache_nbs() returns any negative error code. This
prevents the driver from erroneously proceeding without hardware, thereby
avoiding the subsequent NULL pointer dereference at its source.
