CVE-2024-53193 — clk: clk-loongson2: Fix memory corruption bug in struct loongson2_clk_provider

2026-10-14T17:50:11.707042+00:00

Affected: Linux

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

clk: clk-loongson2: Fix memory corruption bug in struct loongson2_clk_provider

Some heap space is allocated for the flexible structure `struct clk_hw_onecell_data` and its flexible-array member `hws` through the composite structure `struct loongson2_clk_provider` in function `loongson2_clk_probe()`, as shown below:

289 struct loongson2_clk_provider *clp; ... 296 for (p = data; p->name; p++) 297 clks_num++; 298 299 clp = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(clp, clk_data.hws, clks_num), 300 GFP_KERNEL);

Then some data is written into the flexible array:

350 clp->clk_data.hws[p->id] = hw;

This corrupts `clk_lock`, which is the spinlock variable immediately following the `clk_data` member in `struct loongson2_clk_provider`:

struct loongson2_clk_provider { void __iomem *base; struct device *dev; struct clk_hw_onecell_data clk_data; spinlock_t clk_lock; /* protect access to DIV registers */ };

The problem is that the flexible structure is currently placed in the middle of `struct loongson2_clk_provider` instead of at the end.

Fix this by moving `struct clk_hw_onecell_data clk_data;` to the end of `struct loongson2_clk_provider`. Also, add a code comment to help prevent this from happening again in case new members are added to the structure in the future.

This change also fixes the following -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end w…

USN-7276-1 — linux, linux-lowlatency vulnerabilities

2026-10-14T17:50:11.707179+00:00

Affected: Ubuntu:24.10: linux, Ubuntu:24.10: linux-lowlatency

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-0927)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - SuperH RISC architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ACPI drivers; - Drivers core; - ATA over ethernet (AOE) driver; - RAM backed block device driver; - Network block device driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - TPM device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - CXL (Compute Express Link) drivers; - DAX dirext access to differentiated memory framework; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - EDAC drivers; - FireWire subsystem; - ARM SCMI message protocol; - ARM SCPI message protocol; - EFI core; - Qualcomm firmware drivers; - GPIO subsystem;…
