Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm thin: fix use-after-free crash in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback Fault inject on pool metadata device reports: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold+0x40/0x80 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881b9d50068 by task dmsetup/950 CPU: 7 PID: 950 Comm: dmsetup Tainted: G W 5.19.0-rc6 #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1.fc33 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44 print_address_description.constprop.0.cold+0xeb/0x3f4 kasan_report.cold+0xe6/0x147 dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold+0x40/0x80 pool_ctr+0xa0a/0x1150 dm_table_add_target+0x2c8/0x640 table_load+0x1fd/0x430 ctl_ioctl+0x2c4/0x5a0 dm_ctl_ioctl+0xa/0x10 __x64_sys_ioctl+0xb3/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 This can be easily reproduced using: echo offline > /sys/block/sda/device/state dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/thin bs=4k count=10 dmsetup load pool --table "0 20971520 thin-pool /dev/sda /dev/sdb 128 0 0" If a metadata commit fails, the transaction will be aborted and the metadata space maps will be destroyed. If a DM table reload then happens for this failed thin-pool, a use-after-free will occur in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback (called from dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold). Fix this by in dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold() by returning the -EINVAL error if the thin-pool is in fail mode. Also fail pool_ctr() with a new error message: "Error registering metadata threshold".

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: tmc-etr: Fix race condition between sysfs and perf mode When trying to run perf and sysfs mode simultaneously, the WARN_ON() in tmc_etr_enable_hw() is triggered sometimes: WARNING: CPU: 42 PID: 3911571 at drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:1060 tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] [..snip..] Call trace: tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] (P) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] (L) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] coresight_enable_path+0x1c8/0x218 [coresight] coresight_enable_sysfs+0xa4/0x228 [coresight] enable_source_store+0x58/0xa8 [coresight] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x40 sysfs_kf_write+0x4c/0x68 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x120/0x1b8 vfs_write+0x2c8/0x388 ksys_write+0x74/0x108 __arm64_sys_write+0x24/0x38 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x64/0x148 do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 el0_svc+0x3c/0x130 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc8/0xd0 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Since the enablement of sysfs mode is separeted into two critical regions, one for sysfs buffer allocation and another for hardware enablement, it's possible to race with the perf mode. Fix this by double check whether the perf mode's been used before enabling the hardware in sysfs mode. mode: [sysfs mode] [perf mode] tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer() spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) [sysfs buffer allocation] spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() drvdata->etr_buf = etr_perf->etr_buf spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) // WARN sicne etr_buf initialized at the perf side spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) With this fix, we retain the check for CS_MODE_PERF in get_etr_sysfs_buf. This ensures we verify whether the perf mode's already running before we actually allocate the buffer. Then we can save the time of allocating/freeing the sysfs buffer if race with the perf mode.CVE-2026-46272
