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
staging: rtl8192e: Fix use after free in _rtl92e_pci_disconnect()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8192e: Fix use after free in _rtl92e_pci_disconnect()
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.
net: tulip: de4x5: fix the problem that the array 'lp->phy[8]' may be out of bound
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tulip: de4x5: fix the problem that the array 'lp->phy[8]' may be out of bound
In line 5001, if all id in the array 'lp->phy[8]' is not 0, when the
'for' end, the 'k' is 8.
At this time, the array 'lp->phy[8]' may be out of bound.

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

net: qlogic: qlcnic: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in qlcnic_83xx_add_rings()
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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx4_en: Fix an use-after-free bug in mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources()
In mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources(), mlx4_en_copy_priv() is called and
tmp->tx_cq will be freed on the error path of mlx4_en_copy_priv().
After that mlx4_en_alloc_resources() is called and there is a dereference
of &tmp->tx_cq[t][i] in mlx4_en_alloc_resources(), which could lead to
a use after free problem on failure of mlx4_en_copy_priv().

serial: core: fix transmit-buffer reset and memleak
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: core: fix transmit-buffer reset and memleak
Commit 761ed4a94582 ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use
tty_port_close") converted serial core to use tty_port_close() but
failed to notice that the transmit buffer still needs to be freed on
final close.
Not freeing the transmit buffer means that the buffer is no longer
cleared on next open so that any ioctl() waiting for the buffer to drain
might wait indefinitely (e.g. on termios changes) or that stale data can
end up being transmitted in case tx is restarted.
Furthermore, the buffer of any port that has bee
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bigbenff: prevent null pointer dereference
When emulating the device through uhid, there is a chance we don't have
output reports and so report_field is null.
can: sja1000: fix use after free in ems_pcmcia_add_card()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: sja1000: fix use after free in ems_pcmcia_add_card()
If the last channel is not available then "dev" is freed. Fortunately,
we can just use "pdev->irq" instead.
Also we should check if at least one channel was set up.
can: pch_can: pch_can_rx_normal: fix use after free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: pch_can: pch_can_rx_normal: fix use after free
After calling netif_receive_skb(skb), dereferencing skb is unsafe.
Especially, the can_frame cf which aliases skb memory is dereferenced
just after the call netif_receive_skb(skb).
Reordering the lines solves the issue.
nfc: fix potential NULL pointer deref in nfc_genl_dump_ses_done
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

The done() netlink callback nfc_genl_dump_ses_done() should check if
received argument is non-NULL, because its allocation could fail earlier

nfp: Fix memory leak in nfp_cpp_area_cache_add()
In line 800 (#1), nfp_cpp_area_alloc() allocates and initializes a
CPP area structure. But in line 807 (#2), when the cache is allocated
failed, this CPP area structure is not freed, which will result in
memory leak.
We can fix it by freeing the CPP area when the cache is allocated
failed (#2).

seg6: fix the iif in the IPv6 socket control block
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seg6: fix the iif in the IPv6 socket control block
When an IPv4 packet is received, the ip_rcv_core(...) sets the receiving
interface index into the IPv4 socket control block (v5.16-rc4,
net/ipv4/ip_input.c line 510):
IPCB(skb)->iif = skb->skb_iif;
If that IPv4 packet is meant to be encapsulated in an outer IPv6+SRH
header, the seg6_do_srh_encap(...) performs the required encapsulation.
In this case, the seg6_do_srh_encap function clears the IPv6 socket control
block (v5.16-rc4 net/ipv6/seg6_iptunnel.c line 163):
memset(IP6CB(skb), 0, sizeof(*IP6CB(skb)));
