In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: amba-pl011: avoid SBSA UART accessing DMACR register
Chapter "B Generic UART" in "ARM Server Base System Architecture" [1]
documentation describes a generic UART interface. Such generic UART
does not support DMA. In current code, sbsa_uart_pops and
amba_pl011_pops share the same stop_rx operation, which will invoke
pl011_dma_rx_stop, leading to an access of the DMACR register. This
commit adds a using_rx_dma check in pl011_dma_rx_stop to avoid the
access to DMACR register for SBSA UARTs which does not support DMA.
When the kernel enables DMA engine with "CONFIG_DMA
net: netsec: fix error handling in netsec_register_mdio()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: netsec: fix error handling in netsec_register_mdio()
If phy_device_register() fails, phy_device_free() need be called to
put refcount, so memory of phy device and device name can be freed
in callback function.
If get_phy_device() fails, mdiobus_unregister() need be called,
or it will cause warning in mdiobus_free() and kobject is leaked.
mmc: meson-gx: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: meson-gx: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value,
it will lead two issues:
1. The memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() is leaked.
2. In the remove() path, mmc_remove_host() will be called to
delete device, but it's not added yet, it will lead a kernel
crash because of null-ptr-deref in device_del().
Fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which
will call mmc_free_host().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register()
If class_add_groups() returns error, the 'cp->subsys' need be
unregister, and the 'cp' need be freed.
We can not call kset_unregister() here, because the 'cls' will
be freed in callback function class_release() and it's also
freed in caller's error path, it will cause double free.
So fix this by calling kobject_del() and kfree_const(name) to
cleanup kobject. Besides, call kfree() to free the 'cp'.
Fault injection test can trigger this:

serial: pch: Fix PCI device refcount leak in pch_request_dma()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: pch: Fix PCI device refcount leak in pch_request_dma()
As comment of pci_get_slot() says, it returns a pci_device with its
refcount increased. The caller must decrement the reference count by
calling pci_dev_put().
Since 'dma_dev' is only used to filter the channel in filter(), we can
call pci_dev_put() before exiting from pch_request_dma(). Add the
missing pci_dev_put() for the normal and error path.
xen/privcmd: Fix a possible warning in privcmd_ioctl_mmap_resource()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/privcmd: Fix a possible warning in privcmd_ioctl_mmap_resource()
As 'kdata.num' is user-controlled data, if user tries to allocate
memory larger than(>=) MAX_ORDER, then kcalloc() will fail, it
creates a stack trace and messes up dmesg with a warning.
Call trace:
-> privcmd_ioctl
--> privcmd_ioctl_mmap_resource
Add __GFP_NOWARN in order to avoid too large allocation warning.
This is detected by static analysis using smatch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/omap: dss: Fix refcount leak bugs
In dss_init_ports() and __dss_uninit_ports(), we should call
of_node_put() for the reference returned by of_graph_get_port_by_id()
in fail path or when it is not used anymore.
ASoC: audio-graph-card: fix refcount leak of cpu_ep in __graph_for_each_link()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: audio-graph-card: fix refcount leak of cpu_ep in __graph_for_each_link()
The of_get_next_child() returns a node with refcount incremented, and
decrements the refcount of prev. So in the error path of the while loop,
of_node_put() needs be called for cpu_ep.

xfrm: Update ipcomp_scratches with NULL when freed
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: Update ipcomp_scratches with NULL when freed
Currently if ipcomp_alloc_scratches() fails to allocate memory
ipcomp_scratches holds obsolete address. So when we try to free the
percpu scratches using ipcomp_free_scratches() it tries to vfree non
existent vm area. Described below:
static void * __percpu *ipcomp_alloc_scratches(void)
{
...
scratches = alloc_percpu(void *);
if (!scratches)
return NULL;
ipcomp_scratches does not know about this allocation failure.
Therefore holding the old obsolete address.

}

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_hid: fix f_hidg lifetime vs cdev
The embedded struct cdev does not have its lifetime correctly tied to
the enclosing struct f_hidg, so there is a use-after-free if /dev/hidgN
is held open while the gadget is deleted.
This can readily be replicated with libusbgx's example programs (for
conciseness - operating directly via configfs is equivalent):
gadget-hid
exec 3<> /dev/hidg0
gadget-vid-pid-remove
exec 3<&-
Pull the existing device up in to struct f_hidg and make use of the
cdev_device_{add,del}() helpers. This changes the lifetime of the
device objec
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: jfs: fix shift-out-of-bounds in dbAllocAG
Syzbot found a crash : UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in dbAllocAG. The
underlying bug is the missing check of bmp->db_agl2size. The field can
be greater than 64 and trigger the shift-out-of-bounds.
Fix this bug by adding a check of bmp->db_agl2size in dbMount since this
field is used in many following functions. The upper bound for this
field is L2MAXL2SIZE - L2MAXAG, thanks for the help of Dave Kleikamp.
Note that, for maintenance, I reorganized error handling code of dbMount.

s390/netiucv: Fix return type of netiucv_tx()
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:

tracing/hist: Fix out-of-bound write on 'action_data.var_ref_idx'

tracing/hist: Fix out-of-bound write on 'action_data.var_ref_idx'
When generate a synthetic event with many params and then create a trace
action for it [1], kernel panic happened [2].
It is because that in trace_action_create() 'data->n_params' is up to
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX (current value is 64), and array 'data->var_ref_idx'
keeps indices into array 'hist_data->var_refs' for each synthetic event
param, but the length of 'data->var_ref_idx' is TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX
(current value is 16), so out-of-bound write happened when 'data->n_params'
more than 16. In this case, 'data->ma

If device_register() returns error in solo_sysfs_init(), the
name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of
device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up
the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
