mac80211: track only QoS data frames for admission control
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac80211: track only QoS data frames for admission control
For admission control, obviously all of that only works for
QoS data frames, otherwise we cannot even access the QoS
field in the header.
Syzbot reported (see below) an uninitialized value here due
to a status of a non-QoS nullfunc packet, which isn't even
long enough to contain the QoS header.
Fix this to only do anything for QoS data packets.
dm btree remove: fix use after free in rebalance_children()

Move dm_tm_unlock() after dm_tm_dec().
sch_cake: do not call cake_destroy() from cake_init()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sch_cake: do not call cake_destroy() from cake_init()
qdiscs are not supposed to call their own destroy() method
from init(), because core stack already does that.

inet_diag: fix kernel-infoleak for UDP sockets
KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak [1], that can exploited
by unpriv users.
After analysis it turned out UDP was not initializing
r->idiag_expires. Other users of inet_sk_diag_fill()
might make the same mistake in the future, so fix this
in inet_sk_diag_fill().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igbvf: fix double free in `igbvf_probe`
In `igbvf_probe`, if register_netdev() fails, the program will go to
label err_hw_init, and then to label err_ioremap. In free_netdev() which
is just below label err_ioremap, there is `list_for_each_entry_safe` and
`netif_napi_del` which aims to delete all entries in `dev->napi_list`.
The program has added an entry `adapter->rx_ring->napi` which is added by
`netif_napi_add` in igbvf_alloc_queues(). However, adapter->rx_ring has
been freed below label err_hw_init. So this a UAF.
In terms of how to patch the problem, we can refer to ig
sit: do not call ipip6_dev_free() from sit_init_net()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sit: do not call ipip6_dev_free() from sit_init_net()
ipip6_dev_free is sit dev->priv_destructor, already called
by register_netdevice() if something goes wrong.
Alternative would be to make ipip6_dev_free() robust against
multiple invocations, but other drivers do not implement this
strategy.

net: systemport: Add global locking for descriptor lifecycle
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: systemport: Add global locking for descriptor lifecycle
The descriptor list is a shared resource across all of the transmit queues, and
the locking mechanism used today only protects concurrency across a given
transmit queue between the transmit and reclaiming. This creates an opportunity
for the SYSTEMPORT hardware to work on corrupted descriptors if we have
multiple producers at once which is the case when using multiple transmit
queues.
This was particularly noticeable when using multiple flows/transmit queues and
it showed up in interesting ways in that UDP packet
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mxl111sf: change mutex_init() location
Syzbot reported, that mxl111sf_ctrl_msg() uses uninitialized
mutex. The problem was in wrong mutex_init() location.
Previous mutex_init(&state->msg_lock) call was in ->init() function, but
dvb_usbv2_init() has this order of calls:
dvb_usbv2_init()
dvb_usbv2_adapter_init()
dvb_usbv2_adapter_frontend_init()
props->frontend_attach()
props->init()
Since mxl111sf_* devices call mxl111sf_ctrl_msg() in ->frontend_attach()
internally we need to initialize state->msg_lock before
frontend_attach(). To achieve it, ->

ovl: fix warning in ovl_create_real()
Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() ->
ovl_create_real():
if (!err && WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) {
The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without
instantiating the new dentry.
Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later
stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real()
directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.

net: nexthop: fix null pointer dereference when IPv6 is not enabled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: nexthop: fix null pointer dereference when IPv6 is not enabled
When we try to add an IPv6 nexthop and IPv6 is not enabled
(!CONFIG_IPV6) we'll hit a NULL pointer dereference[1] in the error path
of nh_create_ipv6() due to calling ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release. The bug
has been present since the beginning of IPv6 nexthop gateway support.
Commit 1aefd3de7bc6 ("ipv6: Add fib6_nh_init and release to stubs") tells
us that only fib6_nh_init has a dummy stub because fib6_nh_release should
not be called if fib6_nh_init returns an error, but the commit below added
a call to ipv6_s

The free_rtllib() function frees the "dev" pointer so there is use
after free on the next line. Re-arrange things to avoid that.
proc/vmcore: fix clearing user buffer by properly using clear_user()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
proc/vmcore: fix clearing user buffer by properly using clear_user()
To clear a user buffer we cannot simply use memset, we have to use
clear_user(). With a virtio-mem device that registers a vmcore_cb and
has some logically unplugged memory inside an added Linux memory block,
I can easily trigger a BUG by copying the vmcore via "cp":

scsi: mpt3sas: Fix kernel panic during drive powercycle test
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix kernel panic during drive powercycle test
While looping over shost's sdev list it is possible that one
of the drives is getting removed and its sas_target object is
freed but its sdev object remains intact.
Consequently, a kernel panic can occur while the driver is trying to access
the sas_address field of sas_target object without also checking the
sas_target object for NULL.

ethernet: hisilicon: hns: hns_dsaf_misc: fix a possible array overflow in hns_dsaf_ge_srst_by_port()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ethernet: hisilicon: hns: hns_dsaf_misc: fix a possible array overflow in hns_dsaf_ge_srst_by_port()
The if statement:
if (port >= DSAF_GE_NUM)
return;
limits the value of port less than DSAF_GE_NUM (i.e., 8).
However, if the value of port is 6 or 7, an array overflow could occur:
port_rst_off = dsaf_dev->mac_cb[port]->port_rst_off;
because the length of dsaf_dev->mac_cb is DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM (i.e., 6).
To fix this possible array overflow, we first check port and if it is
greater than or equal to DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM, the function returns.

ipv6: fix memory leak in fib6_rule_suppress
The kernel leaks memory when a `fib` rule is present in IPv6 nftables
firewall rules and a suppress_prefix rule is present in the IPv6 routing
rules (used by certain tools such as wg-quick). In such scenarios, every
incoming packet will leak an allocation in `ip6_dst_cache` slab cache.
After some hours of `bpftrace`-ing and source code reading, I tracked
down the issue to ca7a03c41753 ("ipv6: do not free rt if
FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF is set on suppress rule").
The problem with that change is that the generic `args->flags` always have

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qlogic: qlcnic: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in qlcnic_83xx_add_rings()
In qlcnic_83xx_add_rings(), the indirect function of
ahw->hw_ops->alloc_mbx_args will be called to allocate memory for
cmd.req.arg, and there is a dereference of it in qlcnic_83xx_add_rings(),
which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of the
indirect function like qlcnic_83xx_alloc_mbx_args().
Fix this bug by adding a check of alloc_mbx_args(), this patch
imitates the logic of mbx_cmd()'s failure handling.
