net: mdio: validate parameter addr in mdiobus_get_phy()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mdio: validate parameter addr in mdiobus_get_phy()
The caller may pass any value as addr, what may result in an out-of-bounds
access to array mdio_map. One existing case is stmmac_init_phy() that
may pass -1 as addr. Therefore validate addr before using it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: betop: check shape of output reports
betopff_init() only checks the total sum of the report counts for each
report field to be at least 4, but hid_betopff_play() expects 4 report
fields.
A device advertising an output report with one field and 4 report counts
would pass the check but crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference
in hid_betopff_play().
tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be used
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be used
Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is
called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and
"ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will
be:
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6
This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered
yet. That gets done via
cifs: Fix oops due to uncleared server->smbd_conn in reconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix oops due to uncleared server->smbd_conn in reconnect
In smbd_destroy(), clear the server->smbd_conn pointer after freeing the
smbd_connection struct that it points to so that reconnection doesn't get
confused.
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

EDAC/qcom: Do not pass llcc_driv_data as edac_device_ctl_info's pvt_info
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/qcom: Do not pass llcc_driv_data as edac_device_ctl_info's pvt_info
The memory for llcc_driv_data is allocated by the LLCC driver. But when
it is passed as the private driver info to the EDAC core, it will get freed
during the qcom_edac driver release. So when the qcom_edac driver gets probed
again, it will try to use the freed data leading to the use-after-free bug.
Hence, do not pass llcc_driv_data as pvt_info but rather reference it
using the platform_data pointer in the qcom_edac driver.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: prevent potential spectre v1 gadgets
Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from
__nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla()
u16 type = nla_type(nla);
if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) {
/* error or continue */
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses,
but an audit is needed to take care of others where
validation is not yet centralized in core net
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix UaF in netns ops registration error path
If net_assign_generic() fails, the current error path in ops_init() tries
to clear the gen pointer slot. Anyway, in such error path, the gen pointer
itself has not been modified yet, and the existing and accessed one is
smaller than the accessed index, causing an out-of-bounds error:

x86/i8259: Mark legacy PIC interrupts with IRQ_LEVEL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/i8259: Mark legacy PIC interrupts with IRQ_LEVEL
Baoquan reported that after triggering a crash the subsequent crash-kernel
fails to boot about half of the time. It triggers a NULL pointer
dereference in the periodic tick code.
This happens because the legacy timer interrupt (IRQ0) is resent in
software which happens in soft interrupt (tasklet) context. In this context
get_irq_regs() returns NULL which leads to the NULL pointer dereference.
The reason for the resend is a spurious APIC interrupt on the IRQ0 vector
which is captured and leads to a resend when the legacy

firewire: fix memory leak for payload of request subaction to IEC 61883-1 FCP region
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: fix memory leak for payload of request subaction to IEC 61883-1 FCP region
This patch is fix for Linux kernel v2.6.33 or later.
For request subaction to IEC 61883-1 FCP region, Linux FireWire subsystem
have had an issue of use-after-free. The subsystem allows multiple
user space listeners to the region, while data of the payload was likely
released before the listeners execute read(2) to access to it for copying
to user space.
The issue was fixed by a commit 281e20323ab7 ("firewire: core: fix
use-after-free regression in FCP handler"). The object of payload is

snd_hda_get_connections() can return a negative error code.
It may lead to accessing 'conn' array at a negative index.

scsi: iscsi_tcp: Fix UAF during login when accessing the shost ipaddress
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: iscsi_tcp: Fix UAF during login when accessing the shost ipaddress
If during iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create() iscsi_tcp_r2tpool_alloc() fails,
userspace could be accessing the host's ipaddress attr. If we then free the
session via iscsi_session_teardown() while userspace is still accessing the
session we will hit a use after free bug.
Set the tcp_sw_host->session after we have completed session creation and
can no longer fail.
vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_read() the vc_data struct can be
freed by vc_deallocate(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer
load must be done at the top of while loop in vcs_read() to avoid a UAF

usb: gadget: f_fs: Prevent race during ffs_ep0_queue_wait
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Prevent race during ffs_ep0_queue_wait
While performing fast composition switch, there is a possibility that the
process of ffs_ep0_write/ffs_ep0_read get into a race condition
due to ep0req being freed up from functionfs_unbind.
Consider the scenario that the ffs_ep0_write calls the ffs_ep0_queue_wait
by taking a lock &ffs->ev.waitq.lock. However, the functionfs_unbind isn't
bounded so it can go ahead and mark the ep0req to NULL, and since there
is no NULL check in ffs_ep0_queue_wait we will end up in use-after-free.
Fix this by making a serialized exe
