serial: 8250: Reinit port->pm on port specific driver unbind
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250: Reinit port->pm on port specific driver unbind
When we unbind a serial port hardware specific 8250 driver, the generic
serial8250 driver takes over the port. After that we see an oops about 10
seconds later. This can produce the following at least on some TI SoCs:
Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort (0x1406)
Internal error: : 1406 [#1] SMP ARM
Turns out that we may still have the serial port hardware specific driver
port->pm in use, and serial8250_pm() tries to call it after the port
specific driver is gone:
serial8250_pm [8250_base] from uart_change_
scsi: core: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails
If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() needs
be freed. As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used
to decrease the reference count in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().
tty: pcn_uart: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: pcn_uart: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.
vfio/type1: prevent underflow of locked_vm via exec()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/type1: prevent underflow of locked_vm via exec()
When a vfio container is preserved across exec, the task does not change,
but it gets a new mm with locked_vm=0, and loses the count from existing
dma mappings. If the user later unmaps a dma mapping, locked_vm underflows
to a large unsigned value, and a subsequent dma map request fails with
ENOMEM in __account_locked_vm.
To avoid underflow, grab and save the mm at the time a dma is mapped.
Use that mm when adjusting locked_vm, rather than re-acquiring the saved
task's mm, which may have changed. If the saved mm is de
x86/resctrl: Clear staged_config[] before and after it is used
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/resctrl: Clear staged_config[] before and after it is used
As a temporary storage, staged_config[] in rdt_domain should be cleared
before and after it is used. The stale value in staged_config[] could
cause an MSR access error.
Here is a reproducer on a system with 16 usable CLOSIDs for a 15-way L3
Cache (MBA should be disabled if the number of CLOSIDs for MB is less than
16.) :
mount -t resctrl resctrl -o cdp /sys/fs/resctrl
mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p{1..7}
umount /sys/fs/resctrl/

tracing: Fix null pointer dereference in tracing_err_log_open()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix null pointer dereference in tracing_err_log_open()
Fix an issue in function 'tracing_err_log_open'.
The function doesn't call 'seq_open' if the file is opened only with
write permissions, which results in 'file->private_data' being left as null.
If we then use 'lseek' on that opened file, 'seq_lseek' dereferences
'file->private_data' in 'mutex_lock(&m->lock)', resulting in a kernel panic.
Writing to this node requires root privileges, therefore this bug
has very little security impact.

udf: Fix uninitialized array access for some pathnames
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Fix uninitialized array access for some pathnames
For filenames that begin with . and are between 2 and 5 characters long,
UDF charset conversion code would read uninitialized memory in the
output buffer. The only practical impact is that the name may be prepended a
"unification hash" when it is not actually needed but still it is good
to fix this.
irqchip/ti-sci: Fix refcount leak in ti_sci_intr_irq_domain_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/ti-sci: Fix refcount leak in ti_sci_intr_irq_domain_probe
of_irq_find_parent() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
We should use of_node_put() on it when not needed anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
fs/ntfs3: don't hold ni_lock when calling truncate_setsize()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: don't hold ni_lock when calling truncate_setsize()
syzbot is reporting hung task at do_user_addr_fault() [1], for there is
a silent deadlock between PG_locked bit and ni_lock lock.
Since filemap_update_page() calls filemap_read_folio() after calling
folio_trylock() which will set PG_locked bit, ntfs_truncate() must not
call truncate_setsize() which will wait for PG_locked bit to be cleared
when holding ni_lock lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: Fix use after free for wext
Key information in wext.connect is not reset on (re)connect and can hold
data from a previous connection.
Reset key data to avoid that drivers or mac80211 incorrectly detect a
WEP connection request and access the freed or already reused memory.
Additionally optimize cfg80211_sme_connect() and avoid an useless
schedule of conn_work.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: prevent soft lockup while flush writes
Currently, there is no limit for raid1/raid10 plugged bio. While flushing
writes, raid1 has cond_resched() while raid10 doesn't, and too many
writes can cause soft lockup.
Follow up soft lockup can be triggered easily with writeback test for
raid10 with ramdisks:

igb: Fix igb_down hung on surprise removal
In a setup where a Thunderbolt hub connects to Ethernet and a display
through USB Type-C, users may experience a hung task timeout when they
remove the cable between the PC and the Thunderbolt hub.
This is because the igb_down function is called multiple times when
the Thunderbolt hub is unplugged. For example, the igb_io_error_detected
triggers the first call, and the igb_remove triggers the second call.
The second call to igb_down will block at napi_synchronize.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: add NULL check in xfrm_update_ae_params
Normally, x->replay_esn and x->preplay_esn should be allocated at
xfrm_alloc_replay_state_esn(...) in xfrm_state_construct(...), hence the
xfrm_update_ae_params(...) is okay to update them. However, the current
implementation of xfrm_new_ae(...) allows a malicious user to directly
dereference a NULL pointer and crash the kernel like below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid()
With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which
reveals:

This patch fixes a stack-out-of-bounds read in brcmfmac that occurs

xen/gntdev: Prevent leaking grants
Prior to this commit, if a grant mapping operation failed partially,
some of the entries in the map_ops array would be invalid, whereas all
of the entries in the kmap_ops array would be valid. This in turn would
cause the following logic in gntdev_map_grant_pages to become invalid:
for (i = 0; i < map->count; i++) {
if (map->map_ops[i].status == GNTST_okay) {
map->unmap_ops[i].handle = map->map_ops[i].handle;
if (!use_ptemod)
