In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: avoid too many retransmit packets
If a TCP socket is using TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, and the other peer
retracted its window to zero, tcp_retransmit_timer() can
retransmit a packet every two jiffies (2 ms for HZ=1000),
for about 4 minutes after TCP_USER_TIMEOUT has 'expired'.
The fix is to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() takes
icsk->icsk_user_timeout into account.
Before blamed commit, the socket would not timeout after
icsk->icsk_user_timeout, but would use standard exponential
backoff for the retransmits.
Also worth noting that before commit e89688e3e978 ("net: tcp:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix UAF in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready()
After the listener svc_sock is freed, and before invoking svc_tcp_accept()
for the established child sock, there is a window that the newsock

parent. In the race window, if data is received on the newsock, we will
observe use-after-free report in svc_tcp_listen_data_ready().

netrom: Fix a memory leak in nr_heartbeat_expiry()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netrom: Fix a memory leak in nr_heartbeat_expiry()
syzbot reported a memory leak in nr_create() [0].
Commit 409db27e3a2e ("netrom: Fix use-after-free of a listening socket.")
added sock_hold() to the nr_heartbeat_expiry() function, where
a) a socket has a SOCK_DESTROY flag or
b) a listening socket has a SOCK_DEAD flag.
But in the case "a," when the SOCK_DESTROY flag is set, the file descriptor
has already been closed and the nr_release() function has been called.
So it makes no sense to hold the reference count because no one will
call another nr_destroy_socket() and put

tracing: Build event generation tests only as modules
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Build event generation tests only as modules
The kprobes and synth event generation test modules add events and lock
(get a reference) those event file reference in module init function,
and unlock and delete it in module exit function. This is because those
are designed for playing as modules.
If we make those modules as built-in, those events are left locked in the
kernel, and never be removed. This causes kprobe event self-test failure
as below.

syzbot found hanging tasks waiting on rtnl_lock [1]
A reproducer is available in the syzbot bug.
When a request to add multiple actions with the same index is sent, the
second request will block forever on the first request. This holds
rtnl_lock, and causes tasks to hang.
Return -EAGAIN to prevent infinite looping, while keeping documented
behavior.

Undo the modifications made in commit d410ee5109a1 ("ACPICA: avoid

purpose of this commit was to stop memory mappings for operation
regions from overlapping page boundaries, as it can trigger warnings
if different page attributes are present.
However, it was found that when this situation arises, mapping
continues until the boundary's end, but there is still an attempt to
read/write the entire length of the map, leading to a NU
tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption
As it says in commit 3bc07321ccc2 ("xfrm: Force a dst refcount before
entering the xfrm type handlers"):
"Crypto requests might return asynchronous. In this case we leave the
rcu protected region, so force a refcount on the skb's destination
entry before we enter the xfrm type input/output handlers."
On TIPC decryption path it has the same problem, and skb_dst_force()
should be called before doing decryption to avoid a possible crash.

drm/lima: mask irqs in timeout path before hard reset
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/lima: mask irqs in timeout path before hard reset
There is a race condition in which a rendering job might take just long
enough to trigger the drm sched job timeout handler but also still
complete before the hard reset is done by the timeout handler.
This runs into race conditions not expected by the timeout handler.
In some very specific cases it currently may result in a refcount
imbalance on lima_pm_idle, with a stack dump such as:

plpar_hcall(), plpar_hcall9(), and related functions expect callers to
provide valid result buffers of certain minimum size. Currently this
is communicated only through comments in the code and the compiler has
no idea.
For example, if I write a bug like this:
long retbuf[PLPAR_HCALL_BUFSIZE]; // should be PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE
plpar_hcall9(H_ALLOCATE_VAS_WINDOW, retbuf, ...);
This compiles with no diagnostics emitted, but likely results in stack
corruption at runtime when plpar_hcall9() stores results pas
