linux-stable.git/kernel, branch v5.15.211 Linux kernel stable tree bpf: use kvfree() for replaced sysctl write buffer 2026-07-04T11:39:39+00:00 Dawei Feng dawei.feng@seu.edu.cn 2026-06-03T10:53:16+00:00 77355ef7a9f6b0d2bdf65be3b37f2c1f365e20d2 commit 4c21b5927d4364bfe7365f2700da5fea0ed0d004 upstream. proc_sys_call_handler() allocates its temporary sysctl buffer with kvzalloc() and passes it to __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl(). Since kvzalloc() may fall back to vmalloc() for large allocations, freeing that buffer with kfree() is wrong and can corrupt memory. Use kvfree() to safely handle both kmalloc and kvzalloc()/vmalloc allocations. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc5. Reproduced the bug based on v7.1-rc4 in a QEMU x86_64 guest booted with KASAN and CONFIG_FAILSLAB enabled. To exercise the replacement path, the test tree also included the accompanying fix for the stale ret == 1 check in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl().

"trace" file required disabling the writing of the ring buffer. To make
sure the writing was fully disabled before iterating the buffer with a
non-consuming read, it would set the disable flag of the buffer and then
call an RCU synchronization to make sure all the buffers were

many CPUs before the trace file could be read. The commit 72c9ddfd4c5bf

ring_buffer_read_sync() and then ring_buffer_read_start() to allow each of
the per CPU buffers to be prepared, call the read_buffer_read_sync() once,
and then the ring_buffer_read_start() for each of the CPUs which made
things much faster.

The commit 1039221cc278 ("ring-buffer: Do not disable recording when there
is an iterator") removed the requirement of disabling the recording of the
ring buffer in order to iterate it, but it did not remove the
synchronization that was happening that was required to wait for all the

pidfd: refuse access to tasks that have started exiting harder 2026-06-19T11:33:37+00:00 Christian Brauner brauner@kernel.org 2026-05-18T08:32:11+00:00 5437679f9e2a97cd40b2d2d8c57f0996f33dea62 commit 62c4d31d78294bd61cf3403626b789e854357177 upstream. The recent ptrace fix closed a hole where someone could rely on task->mm becoming NULL during do_exit() to bypass dumpability checks. This api here leans on on the very same check and so inherits the fix. But there is no good reason to let it succeed at all once the target has entered do_exit(). PF_EXITING is set by exit_signals() at the very top of do_exit(), before exit_mm() and exit_files() run. Once we observe it, the task is committed to dying and exit_files() will release the fdtable shortly.

commit 62c4d31d78294bd61cf3403626b789e854357177 upstream.

The recent ptrace fix closed a hole where someone could rely on task->mm
becoming NULL during do_exit() to bypass dumpability checks. This api
here leans on on the very same check and so inherits the fix.

But there is no good reason to let it succeed at all once the target has
entered do_exit(). PF_EXITING is set by exit_signals() at the very top
of do_exit(), before exit_mm() and exit_files() run. Once we observe it,
the task is committed to dying and exit_files() will release the fdtable
shortly.

[ Upstream commit 90918794a4e2c3b440f8fcf3847765a8b1d81b25 ]

When a multi-threaded process receives a stop signal (e.g., SIGSTOP),
do_signal_stop() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and JOBCTL_STOP_CONSUME on all
threads and sets signal->group_stop_count to the number of threads. If
one of the threads concurrently calls execve(), de_thread() invokes
zap_other_threads() to kill all other threads. zap_other_threads()
aborts the pending group stop by resetting signal->group_stop_count to 0
and clears the JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK for all other threads. However, it
fails to clear the job control flags for the calling thread.

When execve() completes, the calling thread returns to user mode and
checks for pending signals. Seeing the stale JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING flag,
it calls do_signal_stop(), which invokes task_participate_group_stop().
Since JOBCTL_STOP_CONSUME is still set, it attempts to decrement the
already-zero signal->group_stop_count, triggering a warning:

sig->group_stop_count == 0

Fix this race condition by clearing the JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK for the

stale job control state after the thread group is destroyed. This aligns
with other functions that tear down a thread group and abort group
stops, such as zap_process() and complete_signal(), which correctly
