irqchip/gic-v3: Fix GICR_CTLR.RWP polling
It turns out that our polling of RWP is totally wrong when checking
for it in the redistributors, as we test the *distributor* bit index,
whereas it is a different bit number in the RDs... Oopsie boo.
This is embarassing. Not only because it is wrong, but also because
it took *8 years* to notice the blunder...
Just fix the damn thing.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: sata_dwc_460ex: Fix crash due to OOB write
the driver uses libata's "tag" values from in various arrays.
Since the mentioned patch bumped the ATA_TAG_INTERNAL to 32,
the value of the SATA_DWC_QCMD_MAX needs to account for that.
Otherwise ATA_TAG_INTERNAL usage cause similar crashes like
this as reported by Tice Rex on the OpenWrt Forum and
reproduced (with symbols) here:

powerpc: Fix virt_addr_valid() for 64-bit Book3E & 32-bit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc: Fix virt_addr_valid() for 64-bit Book3E & 32-bit
mpe: On 64-bit Book3E vmalloc space starts at 0x8000000000000000.
Because of the way __pa() works we have:
__pa(0x8000000000000000) == 0, and therefore
virt_to_pfn(0x8000000000000000) == 0, and therefore
virt_addr_valid(0x8000000000000000) == true
Which is wrong, virt_addr_valid() should be false for vmalloc space.
In fact all vmalloc addresses that alias with a valid PFN will return
true from virt_addr_valid(). That can cause bugs with hardened usercopy
as described below by Kefeng Wang:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: Ensure eth header is in skb's linear part
After feeding a decapsulated packet to a veth device with act_mirred,
skb_headlen() may be 0. But veth_xmit() calls __dev_forward_skb(),
which expects at least ETH_HLEN byte of linear data (as
__dev_forward_skb2() calls eth_type_trans(), which pulls ETH_HLEN bytes
unconditionally).
Use pskb_may_pull() to ensure veth_xmit() respects this constraint.

net: ethernet: stmmac: fix altr_tse_pcs function when using a fixed-link
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: stmmac: fix altr_tse_pcs function when using a fixed-link
When using a fixed-link, the altr_tse_pcs driver crashes
due to null-pointer dereference as no phy_device is provided to
tse_pcs_fix_mac_speed function. Fix this by adding a check for
phy_dev before calling the tse_pcs_fix_mac_speed() function.
Also clean up the tse_pcs_fix_mac_speed function a bit. There is
no need to check for splitter_base and sgmii_adapter_base
because the driver will fail if these 2 variables are not
derived from the device tree.
net/smc: Fix NULL pointer dereference in smc_pnet_find_ib()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: Fix NULL pointer dereference in smc_pnet_find_ib()
dev_name() was called with dev.parent as argument but without to
NULL-check it before.
Solve this by checking the pointer before the call to dev_name().

nfc: nci: add flush_workqueue to prevent uaf
Our detector found a concurrent use-after-free bug when detaching an
NCI device. The main reason for this bug is the unexpected scheduling
between the used delayed mechanism (timer and workqueue).

cifs: potential buffer overflow in handling symlinks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: potential buffer overflow in handling symlinks
Smatch printed a warning:
arch/x86/crypto/poly1305_glue.c:198 poly1305_update_arch() error:
__memcpy() 'dctx->buf' too small (16 vs u32max)
It's caused because Smatch marks 'link_len' as untrusted since it comes
from sscanf(). Add a check to ensure that 'link_len' is not larger than
the size of the 'link_str' buffer.
drm/amdkfd: Check for potential null return of kmalloc_array()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Check for potential null return of kmalloc_array()
As the kmalloc_array() may return null, the 'event_waiters[i].wait' would lead to null-pointer dereference.
Therefore, it is better to check the return value of kmalloc_array() to avoid this confusion.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: tcmu: Fix possible page UAF
tcmu_try_get_data_page() looks up pages under cmdr_lock, but it does not
take refcount properly and just returns page pointer. When
tcmu_try_get_data_page() returns, the returned page may have been freed by
tcmu_blocks_release().
We need to get_page() under cmdr_lock to avoid concurrent
tcmu_blocks_release().

net: usb: aqc111: Fix out-of-bounds accesses in RX fixup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: aqc111: Fix out-of-bounds accesses in RX fixup
aqc111_rx_fixup() contains several out-of-bounds accesses that can be
triggered by a malicious (or defective) USB device, in particular:
- The metadata array (desc_offset..desc_offset+2*pkt_count) can be out of bounds,
causing OOB reads and (on big-endian systems) OOB endianness flips.
- A packet can overlap the metadata array, causing a later OOB
endianness flip to corrupt data used by a cloned SKB that has already
been handed off into the network stack.
- A packet SKB can be constructed whose tail is fa
ipv6: fix panic when forwarding a pkt with no in6 dev
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix panic when forwarding a pkt with no in6 dev
kongweibin reported a kernel panic in ip6_forward() when input interface
has no in6 dev associated.
The following tc commands were used to reproduce this panic:

dm integrity: fix memory corruption when tag_size is less than digest size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm integrity: fix memory corruption when tag_size is less than digest size
It is possible to set up dm-integrity in such a way that the
"tag_size" parameter is less than the actual digest size. In this
situation, a part of the digest beyond tag_size is ignored.
In this case, dm-integrity would write beyond the end of the
ic->recalc_tags array and corrupt memory. The corruption happened in
integrity_recalc->integrity_sector_checksum->crypto_shash_final.
Fix this corruption by increasing the tags array so that it has enough
padding at the end to accomodate the loop in integ
jffs2: fix use-after-free in jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: fix use-after-free in jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem
When we mount a jffs2 image, assume that the first few blocks of
the image are normal and contain at least one xattr-related inode,
but the next block is abnormal. As a result, an error is returned
in jffs2_scan_eraseblock(). jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() is then
called in jffs2_build_filesystem() and then again in
jffs2_do_fill_super().
Finally we can observe the following report:

soc: qcom: rpmpd: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: rpmpd: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc
Because of the possible failure of the allocation, data->domains might
be NULL pointer and will cause the dereference of the NULL pointer
later.
Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM
without releasing data manually if fails, because the comment of the
devm_kmalloc() says "Memory allocated with this function is
automatically freed on driver detach.".
ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer
There is one call trace that snd_soc_register_card()
->snd_soc_bind_card()->soc_init_pcm_runtime()
->snd_soc_dai_compress_new()->snd_soc_new_compress().
In the trace the 'codec_dai' transfers from card->dai_link,
and we can see from the snd_soc_add_pcm_runtime() in
snd_soc_bind_card() that, if value of card->dai_link->num_codecs
is 0, then 'codec_dai' could be null pointer caused
by index out of bound in 'asoc_rtd_to_codec(rtd, 0)'.
And snd_soc_register_card() is called by various platforms.
Therefore, it is be
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udmabuf: validate ubuf->pagecount
Syzbot has reported GPF in sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages(). The
problem was in ubuf->pages == ZERO_PTR.
ubuf->pagecount is calculated from arguments passed from user-space. If
user creates udmabuf with list.size == 0 then ubuf->pagecount will be
also equal to zero; it causes kmalloc_array() to return ZERO_PTR.
Fix it by validating ubuf->pagecount before passing it to
kmalloc_array().

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

Coverity complains of a possible buffer overflow. However,
given the 'static' scope of nvidia_setup_i2c_bus() it looks
