md/raid5-ppl: fix use-after-free in ppl_do_flush()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5-ppl: fix use-after-free in ppl_do_flush()
The loop in ppl_do_flush() continues iterating after calling
ppl_io_unit_finished(), touching io->pending_flushes and leading to a
use-after-free.
Add a break statement to stop the loop once io is freed.
locking/lockdep: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __lock_set_class()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/lockdep: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __lock_set_class()
register_lock_class() can return NULL when the lock class pool is
exhausted, graph_lock() fails, or key validation fails. However,
__lock_set_class() uses the return value directly in pointer arithmetic
without a NULL check:
class = register_lock_class(lock, subclass, 0);
hlock->class_idx = class - lock_classes;
If class is NULL, this computes a wild offset that corrupts
hlock->class_idx. The subsequent reacquire_held_locks() call will
invoke hlock_class() with this corrupted index, leading to a NULL
powerpc/xive: propagate IPI init errors to prevent use-after-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/xive: propagate IPI init errors to prevent use-after-free
When xive_init_ipis() fails (e.g. irq_domain_alloc_irqs() fails),
the error path frees the global xive_ipis array. However,
xive_smp_probe() previously ignored this failure and proceeded to
call xive_setup_cpu_ipi(), which dereferences the already-freed
xive_ipis pointer -- a use-after-free.
Now that xive_smp_probe() returns int (previous patch), propagate
the error from xive_init_ipis() and xive_setup_cpu_ipi() through
xive_smp_probe(). Check the return value in both pnv_smp_probe()
and pSeries_smp_probe(
powerpc/irq: Fix missing r2 clobber in PCREL inline assembly
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/irq: Fix missing r2 clobber in PCREL inline assembly
In CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL mode, r2 is no longer reserved for the TOC
pointer and is available as a caller-saved register [0].
Both call_do_irq() and call_do_softirq() use inline assembly to call
functions with stack switching, but fail to list r2 in their clobber
lists. This causes the compiler to assume r2 is preserved across these
calls, leading to register corruption when the called functions
(__do_irq and __do_softirq) clobber r2.
As a result of this kernel crash during interrupt handling is seen and

ocfs2: do not use make_bad_inode() in ocfs2_read_inode_block_full()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: do not use make_bad_inode() in ocfs2_read_inode_block_full()
This reverts commit 58b6fcd2ab34 ("ocfs2: mark inode bad upon validation
failure during read").
Since 'make_bad_inode()' resets inode type to S_IFREG, doing this for
directory inode during active VFS lookup is likely to confuse the latter,
including VFS_BUG_ON_INODE() triggered in this case.
block: handle nogenerate/noverify properly in fs-integrity
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: handle nogenerate/noverify properly in fs-integrity
Check the BIP_CHECK flags before generating or verifying PI information,
otherwise this can be incorrectly called for non-PI metadata and
cause generation of incorrect metadata and crashed in the verification
handler.
The new behavior matches that of the block layer auto-generated
metadata.
arm64: hibernate: mask DAIF before restoring hibernated kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: hibernate: mask DAIF before restoring hibernated kernel
The arm64 hibernate code manages the exception masking in an unsound
way, leading to potential crashes and/or warnings during resume.
When a hibernation image is saved in `swsusp_arch_suspend()`, all DAIF
exceptions are masked (by virtue of `local_daif_save()`), and the
suspended image is saved assuming that all DAIF exceptions will remain
masked when the image is restored.
When a hibernation image is resumed by `swsusp_arch_resume()`, only
interrupts are masked (by virtue of `local_irq_disable()` in
`resume_t

arm64: entry: Avoid unnecessary local_irq_disable() on kernel exit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: entry: Avoid unnecessary local_irq_disable() on kernel exit
Currently, when exiting to kernel mode, we attempt involuntary
preemption. The preemption logic expects IRQs to be disabled, which is
why we call local_irq_disable() before attempting preemption.
However, depending on the context, local_irq_disable() may be
unnecessary:
- __el1_irq(), the non-NMI EL1 IRQ path, already has IRQs disabled, so
local_irq_disable() is redundant.
- irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode_preempt() immediately returns when
exiting from an NMI-like context, so calling local_irq_disable()

ACPI: bus: Introduce acpi_bus_get_primary_device()
The function used for obtaining the first "physical" device for which
the given ACPI one is the ACPI companion, acpi_get_first_physical_node(),
may return a stale device pointer (mostly in theory) because
acpi_unbind_one() may run as a whole after dropping the ACPI device's
physical_node_lock in acpi_get_first_physical_node() and before it
returns. The last reference to the "physical" device may be dropped
then before the pointer to it is returned to the caller.
If that happens and the acpi_get_first_physical_node() calle
vxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlan_mdb_flush()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlan_mdb_flush()
vxlan_mdb_flush() iterates over the MDB entries using
hlist_for_each_entry_safe(), which only tolerates the removal of the
current entry. Contrary to the comment above the loop, the removal of an
entry can trigger the removal of another entry.
Flushing the remotes of a (*, G) entry also removes the (S, G) entries
that were created for its source list, once they are left without
remotes:

spi: amlogic-spisg: Make sure clk_init_data is fully initialized
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: amlogic-spisg: Make sure clk_init_data is fully initialized
The clk_init_data structure contains several mutually-exclusive members
for different methods to specify the possible parents of a clock,
prompting drivers to initialize only the members they need. However,
not initializing all members may cause subtle issues, which are only
exposed when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE is
enabled.
aml_spisg_clk_init() fills in init.parent_data, and assumes that
init.parent_names is NULL. However, the latter in uninitialized, and
thus may cause a cras

octeontx2-af: fix out-of-bounds read setting MSI-X irq affinity
rvu_register_interrupts() walks every MSI-X vector and uses strstr()
to match "Mbox" or "FLR" in irq_name before pinning those interrupts
to CPU 0. irq_name is a per-vector NAME_SIZE buffer, but not every
slot is populated before this loop runs. strstr() keeps scanning until
it finds a NUL terminator, so an uninitialized slot can trigger a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds read at boot when debug options are enabled.
Use strnstr() with NAME_SIZE to bound the search within each vector's
name buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/secretmem: properly account locked pages
secretmem accounts folios by treating memory as if it were mlock()'d and
thus limited by the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit.
However the folios are unevictable and remain so until the inode is
evicted, eliminating usual mlock() semantics - mapping folios then
unmapping them does not clear their unevictable state, since it depends on
AS_UNEVICTABLE, not PG_mlocked.
A user can therefore easily work around the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit - simply
map then unmap and VmLck no longer counts the secretmem range. Worse,
folios are not accounted in the
