**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) implementation where a warning is incorrectly triggered in the `hsr addr is self()` function. The problem occurs because `hsr->self node` is cleared in `hsr del self node()`, which is called by `hsr dellink()`. Since `hsr dellink()` is executed before `unregister netdevice many()`, a timing window is created where a user can still access the device while `hsr->self node` has already been cleared, leading to an erroneous `WARN ONCE()` trigger. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists where an uninitialized stack variable is used within the `rseq exit user update()` function. This occurs because the evaluation order of expressions in an initializer list is indeterminately sequenced according to the C standard. Specifically, the compiler may evaluate `cpu to node(ids.cpu id)` before `ids.cpu id` has been initialized with `task cpu(t)`, leading to a kernel-infoleak in `rseq set ids get csaddr()`. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A null-pointer dereference occurs in the `remove waiter()` function when triggered via `FUTEX CMP REQUEUE PI`. This happens because `task blocks on rt mutex()` does not arm the waiter during deadlock detection, resulting in `waiter->task` being nil. Additionally, `rt mutex start proxy lock()` incorrectly calls `remove waiter()` after successfully grabbing the rtmutex. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the `ovl iterate merged()` function where the `err` variable is assigned the value of `PTR ERR(cache)` before verifying if `cache` is an error using `IS ERR(cache)`. When the operation is successful, `err` retains a truncated cache pointer, which may then be returned as an incorrect non-zero error. This behavior can be triggered during an overlay-on-overlay readdir operation involving the `getdents64` system call and the `ovl cache get()` function. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A slab-use-after-free issue exists in the `ipv6 chk acast addr()` function. The problem occurs when an anycast address (aca) is allocated and added to the `idev->ac list` under `idev->lock`, but is inserted into the global `inet6 acaddr lst[]` hash after the lock is released. A concurrent device teardown process can remove the aca from the `ac list` and attempt to delete it from the hash before the insertion has actually occurred. Consequently, the aca is later inserted into the hash and subsequently freed while still linked, leading to a dangling node that readers may dereference. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the TCP implementation where a reference count underflow can occur in the ` inet csk reqsk queue drop()` function, potentially leading to a use-after-free condition. This occurs when `PREEMPT RT` is enabled and the `reqsk queue hash req()` function is preempted after the `mod timer()` call but before `refcount set()`. In this scenario, a timer may trigger and abort the request socket due to the listener closing, causing the request socket to miss necessary reference counts for both the ehash and the timer. The vulnerability involves the `reqsk->rsk refcnt` variable. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An out-of-bounds read exists in the IPv6 routing component of the Linux kernel. The issue occurs within the `fib6 add rt2node()` function when an IPv6 route is created using `RTA NH ID`, as the `struct fib6 info` may lack the trailing `struct fib6 nh`. This leads to an out-of-bounds access when the system attempts to read `iter->fib6 nh` without first verifying if `iter->nh` is NULL. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the hfsplus module where the `hfs brec read()` function fails to validate that the on-disk record size matches the expected size for the record type being read. When mounting a corrupted filesystem, the function may perform a partial read, leaving parts of the data structure uninitialized. This uninitialized data in `tmp.thread.nodeName` is subsequently copied by `hfsplus cat build key uni()` and used by `hfsplus strcasecmp()`, which triggers a memory error when the uninitialized bytes are used as array indices in `case fold()`. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the bridge multicast component where the `mdb n entries` count for VLAN contexts is updated conditionally. This can lead to a state where a decrease operation is performed without a corresponding previous increase, triggering a kernel warning. This behavior can be observed when enabling snooping via ` br multicast enable port ctx()` while the interface is not running, followed by a multicast database flush. The problem involves the `br multicast port ngroups dec one()`, `br multicast port ngroups dec()`, and `br multicast del pg()` functions. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A use-after-free issue exists in the gfs2 iomap inline data write path. The inline data buffer head `dibh` is released prematurely in the `gfs2 iomap begin()` function via `release metapath()`, while `iomap->inline data` still points to `dibh->b data`. This leads to a use-after-free condition when `iomap write end inline()` subsequently attempts to write to the inline data area. The process involves `gfs2 iomap begin()` calling `gfs2 meta inode buffer()` to read inode metadata into `dibh`, setting `iomap->inline data`, and then calling `release metapath()`, which triggers `brelse(dibh)` and drops the reference count to zero, allowing the page to be reclaimed before the write operation occurs. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.11-1.1 **Description** A reference count leak occurs in the ALSA caiaq component of the Linux kernel during probe failure. The `create card()` function increases the reference count of the USB device using `usb get dev()`, but the corresponding `usb put dev()` is only executed via the `card free()` destructor. Because the `->private free` destructor is assigned late in the `init card()` process, any failure occurring before this assignment—such as errors in `usb set interface()`, endpoint type checks, `usb submit urb()`, or the `EP1 CMD GET DEVICE INFO` exchange—prevents `card free()` from running. This results in a leak of the `struct usb device`, its descriptor allocations, and `device private` data. **Recommendations** Update to version 7.0.11-1.1 or newer.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the `fs/ntfs3` component where processing the `valid` range `[valid : pos)` can trigger an infinite loop if the retrieved `valid` value remains constant. This can lead to system hangs, as seen in the `ntfs file write iter()` function. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A locking and synchronization error exists in the USB dummy-hcd component. A race condition can occur between a USB reset and a driver unbind process. Specifically, the `stop activity()` function may drop and re-acquire the `dum->lock` spinlock. If this occurs within `set link state()` after checking `dum->ints enabled` but before incrementing `dum->callback usage`, another thread performing a driver unbind can clear `dum->ints enabled` and `dum->driver`. This leads to the `usb gadget udc reset()` function being called with a NULL driver argument, resulting in an addressing exception and system crash. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An uninitialized value bug exists where `flags valid` is not initialized before the `vfs fileattr get()` function is called. This issue occurs because the `fa` variable is not handled with the same initialization mechanism as the internal `file kattr` structure, potentially leading to instability in filesystem handlers, including those used in WSL and Azure containers. The issue was identified via a KMSAN report involving the `fuse fileattr get()` function. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the f2fs file system where the `f2fs finish read bio()` function may access uninitialized data in a folio if the system fails to read data from the device into that folio. This can lead to an uninitialized value access within the `f2fs sanity check node footer()` function. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A race condition exists in the Linux kernel within the `tcp v6 syn recv sock()` function. The issue occurs because certain operations are performed after the call to `tcp v4 syn recv sock()`, at which point the child socket is already visible in the TCP ehash table and accessible by other CPUs. Because `newinet->pinet6` still points to the listener `ipv6 pinfo` during this window, it can lead to unstable system behavior. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An overflow occurs in the 16-bit UDP length field when processing oversized PPPoL2TP packets with UDP encapsulation. The `l2tp xmit core()` function fails to check for overflows during the assignment of the UDP length field, causing the value to be trimmed to 16 bits. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the OCFS2 file system where the `ocfs2 validate inode block()` function fails to validate the size of inline data when reading an inode from disk. In cases of filesystem corruption, the `i size` variable can exceed the actual inline data capacity (`id count`). This discrepancy leads the `ocfs2 dir foreach blk id()` function to iterate beyond the inline data buffer, resulting in a use-after-free (UAF) condition—where the system continues to use a pointer after it has been freed—when accessing directory entries via the `ocfs2 check dir entry()` function. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the erofs component where plain data is incorrectly classified as interlaced plain extents if the start position and on-disk physical length are not both aligned to the block size. In such cases, the data should be treated as shifted plain extents. This can lead to an out-of-bounds (OOB) read—a condition where the system reads data past the end of the intended buffer—within the `z erofs transform plain()` function when processing a crafted compressed image containing plain extents with unaligned physical lengths. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** An issue exists in the hfs component where the use of `BUG ON` to detect overflows in `next id`, `folder count`, and `file count` within the super block info can be triggered if the MDB (Master Directory Block) is corrupted. This leads to a system crash instead of graceful error handling. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
