In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hamradio: fix memory leak in mkiss_close
My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in
mkiss_open()[1]. The problem was in missing
free_netdev() in mkiss_close().
In mkiss_open() netdevice is allocated and then
registered, but in mkiss_close() netdevice was
only unregistered, but not freed.
Fail log:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: cdc_eem: fix tx fixup skb leak
when usbnet transmit a skb, eem fixup it in eem_tx_fixup(),
if skb_copy_expand() failed, it return NULL,
usbnet_start_xmit() will have no chance to free original skb.
fix it by free orginal skb in eem_tx_fixup() first,
then check skb clone status, if failed, return NULL to usbnet.
net: ethernet: fix potential use-after-free in ec_bhf_remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: fix potential use-after-free in ec_bhf_remove
static void ec_bhf_remove(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
...
struct ec_bhf_priv *priv = netdev_priv(net_dev);
unregister_netdev(net_dev);
free_netdev(net_dev);
pci_iounmap(dev, priv->dma_io);
pci_iounmap(dev, priv->io);
...
}
priv is netdev private data, but it is used
after free_netdev(). It can cause use-after-free when accessing priv
pointer. So, fix it by moving free_netdev() after pci_iounmap()
calls.
can: j1939: fix Use-after-Free, hold skb ref while in use
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: j1939: fix Use-after-Free, hold skb ref while in use
This patch fixes a Use-after-Free found by the syzbot.
The problem is that a skb is taken from the per-session skb queue,
without incrementing the ref count. This leads to a Use-after-Free if
the skb is taken concurrently from the session queue due to a CTS.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: mcba_usb: fix memory leak in mcba_usb
Syzbot reported memory leak in SocketCAN driver for Microchip CAN BUS
Analyzer Tool. The problem was in unfreed usb_coherent.
In mcba_usb_start() 20 coherent buffers are allocated and there is
nothing, that frees them:
1) In callback function the urb is resubmitted and that's all
2) In disconnect function urbs are simply killed, but URB_FREE_BUFFER
is not set (see mcba_usb_start) and this flag cannot be used with
coherent buffers.

KVM: x86: Immediately reset the MMU context when the SMM flag is cleared
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Immediately reset the MMU context when the SMM flag is cleared
Immediately reset the MMU context when the vCPU's SMM flag is cleared so
that the SMM flag in the MMU role is always synchronized with the vCPU's
flag. If RSM fails (which isn't correctly emulated), KVM will bail
without calling post_leave_smm() and leave the MMU in a bad state.
The bad MMU role can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when grabbing a
shadow page's rmap for a page fault as the initial lookups for the gfn
will happen with the vCPU's SMM flag (=0), whereas the rmap lookup will
use the sh
PCI: aardvark: Fix kernel panic during PIO transfer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: aardvark: Fix kernel panic during PIO transfer
Trying to start a new PIO transfer by writing value 0 in PIO_START register
when previous transfer has not yet completed (which is indicated by value 1
in PIO_START) causes an External Abort on CPU, which results in kernel
panic:
SError Interrupt on CPU0, code 0xbf000002 -- SError
Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt
To prevent kernel panic, it is required to reject a new PIO transfer when
previous one has not finished yet.
If previous PIO transfer is not finished yet, the kernel may issue a
x86/ioremap: Map EFI-reserved memory as encrypted for SEV
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/ioremap: Map EFI-reserved memory as encrypted for SEV
Some drivers require memory that is marked as EFI boot services
data. In order for this memory to not be re-used by the kernel
after ExitBootServices(), efi_mem_reserve() is used to preserve it
by inserting a new EFI memory descriptor and marking it with the
EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute.
Under SEV, memory marked with the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute needs to
be mapped encrypted by Linux, otherwise the kernel might crash at boot
like below:

net: ll_temac: Make sure to free skb when it is completely used
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ll_temac: Make sure to free skb when it is completely used
With the skb pointer piggy-backed on the TX BD, we have a simple and
efficient way to free the skb buffer when the frame has been transmitted.
But in order to avoid freeing the skb while there are still fragments from
the skb in use, we need to piggy-back on the TX BD of the skb, not the
first.
Without this, we are doing use-after-free on the DMA side, when the first
BD of a multi TX BD packet is seen as completed in xmit_done, and the
remaining BDs are still being processed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: fix vlan tunnel dst null pointer dereference
This patch fixes a tunnel_dst null pointer dereference due to lockless
access in the tunnel egress path. When deleting a vlan tunnel the
tunnel_dst pointer is set to NULL without waiting a grace period (i.e.
while it's still usable) and packets egressing are dereferencing it
without checking. Use READ/WRITE_ONCE to annotate the lockless use of
tunnel_id, use RCU for accessing tunnel_dst and make sure it is read
only once and checked in the egress path. The dst is already properly RCU
protected so we don't need to do
net: bridge: fix vlan tunnel dst refcnt when egressing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: fix vlan tunnel dst refcnt when egressing
The egress tunnel code uses dst_clone() and directly sets the result
which is wrong because the entry might have 0 refcnt or be already deleted,
causing number of problems. It also triggers the WARN_ON() in dst_hold()[1]
when a refcnt couldn't be taken. Fix it by using dst_hold_safe() and
checking if a reference was actually taken before setting the dst.

mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix warning during rehash
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix warning during rehash
As previously explained, the rehash delayed work migrates filters from
one region to another. This is done by iterating over all chunks (all
the filters with the same priority) in the region and in each chunk
iterating over all the filters.
When the work runs out of credits it stores the current chunk and entry
as markers in the per-work context so that it would know where to resume
the migration from the next time the work is scheduled.
Upon error, the chunk marker is reset to NULL, but without resetting the
entry marke
mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix incorrect list API usage
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix incorrect list API usage
Both the function that migrates all the chunks within a region and the
function that migrates all the entries within a chunk call
list_first_entry() on the respective lists without checking that the
lists are not empty. This is incorrect usage of the API, which leads to
the following warning [1].
Fix by returning if the lists are empty as there is nothing to migrate
in this case.

i40e: Do not use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag for workqueue
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Do not use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag for workqueue
Issue reported by customer during SRIOV testing, call trace:
When both i40e and the i40iw driver are loaded, a warning
in check_flush_dependency is being triggered. This seems
to be because of the i40e driver workqueue is allocated with
the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag, and the i40iw one is not.
Similar error was encountered on ice too and it was fixed by
removing the flag. Do the same for i40e too.

HID: i2c-hid: remove I2C_HID_READ_PENDING flag to prevent lock-up
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: i2c-hid: remove I2C_HID_READ_PENDING flag to prevent lock-up
The flag I2C_HID_READ_PENDING is used to serialize I2C operations.
However, this is not necessary, because I2C core already has its own
locking for that.
More importantly, this flag can cause a lock-up: if the flag is set in
i2c_hid_xfer() and an interrupt happens, the interrupt handler
(i2c_hid_irq) will check this flag and return immediately without doing
anything, then the interrupt handler will be invoked again in an
infinite loop.
Since interrupt handler is an RT task, it takes over the CPU and the

batman-adv: Avoid infinite loop trying to resize local TT
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: Avoid infinite loop trying to resize local TT
If the MTU of one of an attached interface becomes too small to transmit
the local translation table then it must be resized to fit inside all
fragments (when enabled) or a single packet.
But if the MTU becomes too low to transmit even the header + the VLAN
specific part then the resizing of the local TT will never succeed. This
can for example happen when the usable space is 110 bytes and 11 VLANs are
on top of batman-adv. In this case, at least 116 byte would be needed.
There will just be an endless spam of

Problem : While most ip tunnel helpers (like ip_tunnel_get_dsfield())
uses skb_protocol(skb, true), pskb_inet_may_pull() is only using
skb->protocol.
If anything else than ETH_P_IPV6 or ETH_P_IP is found in skb->protocol,
pskb_inet_may_pull() does nothing at all.
If a vlan tag was provided by the caller (af_packet in the syzbot case),
the network header might not point to the correct location, and skb
linear part could be smaller than expected.
