Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfs: Only create /proc/fs/netfs with CONFIG_PROC_FS

When testing a special config:

CONFIG_NETFS_SUPPORTS=y CONFIG_PROC_FS=n

The system crashes with something like:

This is caused by the following error path in netfs_init():

    if (!proc_mkdir("fs/netfs", NULL))
            goto error_proc;

Fix this by adding ifdef in netfs_main(), so that /proc/fs/netfs is only created with CONFIG_PROC_FS.

GHSA-XPFG-HQMQ-GR2W

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-23 15:31 – Updated: 2025-09-23 15:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: dsa: fix panic on shutdown if multi-chip tree failed to probe

DSA probing is atypical because a tree of devices must probe all at once, so out of N switches which call dsa_tree_setup_routing_table() during probe, for (N - 1) of them, "complete" will return false and they will exit probing early. The Nth switch will set up the whole tree on their behalf.

The implication is that for (N - 1) switches, the driver binds to the device successfully, without doing anything. When the driver is bound, the ->shutdown() method may run. But if the Nth switch has failed to initialize the tree, there is nothing to do for the (N - 1) driver instances, since the slave devices have not been created, etc. Moreover, dsa_switch_shutdown() expects that the calling @ds has been in fact initialized, so it jumps at dereferencing the various data structures, which is incorrect.

Avoid the ensuing NULL pointer dereferences by simply checking whether the Nth switch has previously set "ds->setup = true" for the switch which is currently shutting down. The entire setup is serialized under dsa2_mutex which we already hold.

Mitigation MIT-56
Implementation

For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished [REF-1484].

Mitigation
Requirements

Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.

Mitigation
Implementation

Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Identify all variables and data stores that receive information from external sources, and apply input validation to make sure that they are only initialized to expected values.

Mitigation
Implementation

Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.
