In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ecdh - explicitly zeroize private_key
private_key is overwritten with the key parameter passed in by the
caller (if present), or alternatively a newly generated private key.
However, it is possible that the caller provides a key (or the newly
generated key) which is shorter than the previous key. In that
scenario, some key material from the previous key would not be
overwritten. The easiest solution is to explicitly zeroize the entire
private_key array first.
Note that this patch slightly changes the behavior of this function:
previously, if the ecc_gen_privkey fai
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: emux: improve patch ioctl data validation
In load_data(), make the validation of and skipping over the main info
block match that in load_guspatch().
In load_guspatch(), add checking that the specified patch length matches
the actually supplied data, like load_data() already did.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86: stop playing stack games in profile_pc()
The 'profile_pc()' function is used for timer-based profiling, which
isn't really all that relevant any more to begin with, but it also ends
up making assumptions based on the stack layout that aren't necessarily
valid.
Basically, the code tries to account the time spent in spinlocks to the
caller rather than the spinlock, and while I support that as a concept,
it's not worth the code complexity or the KASAN warnings when no serious
profiling is done using timers anyway these days.
And the code really does depend on stack layo
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_omap: Implementation of Errata i2310
As per Errata i2310[0], Erroneous timeout can be triggered,
if this Erroneous interrupt is not cleared then it may leads
to storm of interrupts, therefore apply Errata i2310 solution.

net/iucv: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack
For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask
variable on stack is not recommended since it can cause potential stack
overflow.
Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate
cpumask var in config-neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.
Use *cpumask_var API(s) to address it.

gpio: davinci: Validate the obtained number of IRQs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: davinci: Validate the obtained number of IRQs
Value of pdata->gpio_unbanked is taken from Device Tree. In case of broken
DT due to any error this value can be any. Without this value validation
there can be out of chips->irqs array boundaries access in
davinci_gpio_probe().
Validate the obtained nirq value so that it won't exceed the maximum
number of IRQs per bank.

pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER
In create_pinctrl(), pinctrl_maps_mutex is acquired before calling
add_setting(). If add_setting() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, create_pinctrl()
calls pinctrl_free(). However, pinctrl_free() attempts to acquire
pinctrl_maps_mutex, which is already held by create_pinctrl(), leading to
a potential deadlock.
This patch resolves the issue by releasing pinctrl_maps_mutex before
calling pinctrl_free(), preventing the deadlock.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis

ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: set priv->pdev before using it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: set priv->pdev before using it
priv->pdev pointer was set after being used in
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init().
Move this assignment at the start of the probe function, so
sub-functions can correctly use pdev through priv.
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init() dereferences priv->pdev to get access to the
dev struct, used with dev_err macros.
As priv is zero-initialised, there would be a NULL pointer dereference.
Note that if priv->dev is dereferenced before assignment but never used,
for example if there is no error to be printed, the driver won't crash

drm/panel: ilitek-ili9881c: Fix warning with GPIO controllers that sleep
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panel: ilitek-ili9881c: Fix warning with GPIO controllers that sleep
The ilitek-ili9881c controls the reset GPIO using the non-sleeping
gpiod_set_value() function. This complains loudly when the GPIO
controller needs to sleep. As the caller can sleep, use
gpiod_set_value_cansleep() to fix the issue.
iio: chemical: bme680: Fix overflows in compensate() functions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: chemical: bme680: Fix overflows in compensate() functions
There are cases in the compensate functions of the driver that
there could be overflows of variables due to bit shifting ops.
These implications were initially discussed here [1] and they
were mentioned in log message of Commit 1b3bd8592780 ("iio:

usb: dwc3: core: remove lock of otg mode during gadget suspend/resume to avoid deadlock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: core: remove lock of otg mode during gadget suspend/resume to avoid deadlock
When config CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE is selected, and trigger system
to enter suspend status with below command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
There will be a deadlock issue occurring. Detailed invoking path as
below:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftruncate: pass a signed offset
The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign
extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a
result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating
to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB.
Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t
changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL.
The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding
loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer
from this mistake.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xdp: Remove WARN() from __xdp_reg_mem_model()
syzkaller reports a warning in __xdp_reg_mem_model().
The warning occurs only if __mem_id_init_hash_table() returns an error. It
returns the error in two cases:
1. memory allocation fails;
2. rhashtable_init() fails when some fields of rhashtable_params
struct are not initialized properly.
The second case cannot happen since there is a static const rhashtable_params
struct with valid fields. So, warning is only triggered when there is a
problem with memory allocation.
Thus, there is no sense in using WARN() to handl
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/restrack: Fix potential invalid address access
struct rdma_restrack_entry's kern_name was set to KBUILD_MODNAME
in ib_create_cq(), while if the module exited but forgot del this
rdma_restrack_entry, it would cause a invalid address access in
rdma_restrack_clean() when print the owner of this rdma_restrack_entry.
These code is used to help find one forgotten PD release in one of the
ULPs. But it is not needed anymore, so delete them.
gfs2: Fix NULL pointer dereference in gfs2_log_flush
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Fix NULL pointer dereference in gfs2_log_flush
In gfs2_jindex_free(), set sdp->sd_jdesc to NULL under the log flush
lock to provide exclusion against gfs2_log_flush().
In gfs2_log_flush(), check if sdp->sd_jdesc is non-NULL before
dereferencing it. Otherwise, we could run into a NULL pointer
dereference when outstanding glock work races with an unmount
(glock_work_func -> run_queue -> do_xmote -> inode_go_sync ->
gfs2_log_flush).
ocfs2: fix DIO failure due to insufficient transaction credits
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix DIO failure due to insufficient transaction credits
The code in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() estimates number of necessary
transaction credits using ocfs2_calc_extend_credits(). This however does
not take into account that the IO could be arbitrarily large and can
contain arbitrary number of extents.
Extent tree manipulations do often extend the current transaction but not
in all of the cases. For example if we have only single block extents in
the tree, ocfs2_mark_extent_written() will end up calling
ocfs2_replace_extent_rec() all the time and we will never exten
net: can: j1939: Initialize unused data in j1939_send_one()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: can: j1939: Initialize unused data in j1939_send_one()
syzbot reported kernel-infoleak in raw_recvmsg() [1]. j1939_send_one()
creates full frame including unused data, but it doesn't initialize
it. This causes the kernel-infoleak issue. Fix this by initializing
unused data.

netfilter: nf_tables: fully validate NFT_DATA_VALUE on store to data registers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fully validate NFT_DATA_VALUE on store to data registers
register store validation for NFT_DATA_VALUE is conditional, however,
the datatype is always either NFT_DATA_VALUE or NFT_DATA_VERDICT. This
only requires a new helper function to infer the register type from the
set datatype so this conditional check can be removed. Otherwise,
pointer to chain object can be leaked through the registers.
