In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: Fix refcount leak bug in ucc_uart.c
In soc_info(), of_find_node_by_type() will return a node pointer
with refcount incremented. We should use of_node_put() when it is
not used anymore.
mips: cavium-octeon: Fix missing of_node_put() in octeon2_usb_clocks_start
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mips: cavium-octeon: Fix missing of_node_put() in octeon2_usb_clocks_start
We should call of_node_put() for the reference 'uctl_node' returned by
of_get_parent() which will increase the refcount. Otherwise, there will
be a refcount leak bug.
powerpc/64: Init jump labels before parse_early_param()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/64: Init jump labels before parse_early_param()
On 64-bit, calling jump_label_init() in setup_feature_keys() is too
late because static keys may be used in subroutines of
parse_early_param() which is again subroutine of early_init_devtree().
For example booting with "threadirqs":
static_key_enable_cpuslocked(): static key '0xc000000002953260' used before call to jump_label_init()

video: fbdev: i740fb: Check the argument of i740_calc_vclk()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: i740fb: Check the argument of i740_calc_vclk()
Since the user can control the arguments of the ioctl() from the user
space, under special arguments that may result in a divide-by-zero bug.
If the user provides an improper 'pixclock' value that makes the argumet
of i740_calc_vclk() less than 'I740_RFREQ_FIX', it will cause a
divide-by-zero bug in:
drivers/video/fbdev/i740fb.c:353 p_best = min(15, ilog2(I740_MAX_VCO_FREQ / (freq / I740_RFREQ_FIX)));
The following log can reveal it:

kprobes: don't call disarm_kprobe() for disabled kprobes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: don't call disarm_kprobe() for disabled kprobes
The assumption in __disable_kprobe() is wrong, and it could try to disarm
an already disarmed kprobe and fire the WARN_ONCE() below. [0] We can
easily reproduce this issue.
1. Write 0 to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled.
# echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled
2. Run execsnoop. At this time, one kprobe is disabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix refcount leak in __xfrm_policy_check()
The issue happens on an error path in __xfrm_policy_check(). When the
fetching process of the object `pols[1]` fails, the function simply
returns 0, forgetting to decrement the reference count of `pols[0]`,
which is incremented earlier by either xfrm_sk_policy_lookup() or
xfrm_policy_lookup(). This may result in memory leaks.
Fix it by decreasing the reference count of `pols[0]` in that path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: Check for overflow while configuring loop
The userspace can configure a loop using an ioctl call, wherein
a configuration of type loop_config is passed (see lo_ioctl()'s
case on line 1550 of drivers/block/loop.c). This proceeds to call
loop_configure() which in turn calls loop_set_status_from_info()
(see line 1050 of loop.c), passing &config->info which is of type
loop_info64*. This function then sets the appropriate values, like
the offset.
loop_device has lo_offset of type loff_t (see line 52 of loop.c),
which is typdef-chained to long long, whereas loop_info64 has
s390: fix double free of GS and RI CBs on fork() failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390: fix double free of GS and RI CBs on fork() failure
The pointers for guarded storage and runtime instrumentation control
blocks are stored in the thread_struct of the associated task. These
pointers are initially copied on fork() via arch_dup_task_struct()
and then cleared via copy_thread() before fork() returns. If fork()
happens to fail after the initial task dup and before copy_thread(),
the newly allocated task and associated thread_struct memory are
freed via free_task() -> arch_release_task_struct(). This results in
a double free of the guarded storage and runtim
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: call __md_stop_writes in md_stop
From the link [1], we can see raid1d was running even after the path
raid_dtr -> md_stop -> __md_stop.
Let's stop write first in destructor to align with normal md-raid to
fix the KASAN issue.

scsi: storvsc: Remove WQ_MEM_RECLAIM from storvsc_error_wq
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: storvsc: Remove WQ_MEM_RECLAIM from storvsc_error_wq
storvsc_error_wq workqueue should not be marked as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as it
doesn't need to make forward progress under memory pressure. Marking this
workqueue as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM may cause deadlock while flushing a
non-WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue. In the current state it causes the following
warning:
[ 14.506347] ------------[ cut here ]------------

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pvrusb2: fix memory leak in pvr_probe
The error handling code in pvr2_hdw_create forgets to unregister the
v4l2 device. When pvr2_hdw_create returns back to pvr2_context_create,
it calls pvr2_context_destroy to destroy context, but mp->hdw is NULL,
which leads to that pvr2_hdw_destroy directly returns.
Fix this by adding v4l2_device_unregister to decrease the refcount of
usb interface.
fbdev: fb_pm2fb: Avoid potential divide by zero error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: fb_pm2fb: Avoid potential divide by zero error
In `do_fb_ioctl()` of fbmem.c, if cmd is FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, var will be
copied from user, then go through `fb_set_var()` and
`info->fbops->fb_check_var()` which could may be `pm2fb_check_var()`.
Along the path, `var->pixclock` won't be modified. This function checks
whether reciprocal of `var->pixclock` is too high. If `var->pixclock` is
zero, there will be a divide by zero error. So, it is necessary to check
whether denominator is zero to avoid crash. As this bug is found by
Syzkaller, logs are listed below.

ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead
ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
ftrace_startup_enable fails:
register_ftrace_function
ftrace_startup
__register_ftrace_function

add_ftrace_ops(&ftrace_ops_list, ops)
...
...
ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify, ftrace_disabled is set to 1
...
return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list.
When ftrace_disabled = 1, unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: fix strp_init() order and cleanup
strp_init() is called just a few lines above this csk->sk_user_data
check, it also initializes strp->work etc., therefore, it is
unnecessary to call strp_done() to cancel the freshly initialized
work.
And if sk_user_data is already used by KCM, psock->strp should not be
touched, particularly strp->work state, so we need to move strp_init()
after the csk->sk_user_data check.
This also makes a lockdep warning reported by syzbot go away.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs
_Read/Write_MACREG callbacks are NULL so the read/write_macreg_hdl()
functions don't do anything except free the "pcmd" pointer. It
results in a use after free. Delete them.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: Clear selection before changing the font
When changing the console font with ioctl(KDFONTOP) the new font size
can be bigger than the previous font. A previous selection may thus now
be outside of the new screen size and thus trigger out-of-bounds
accesses to graphics memory if the selection is removed in
vc_do_resize().
Prevent such out-of-memory accesses by dropping the selection before the
various con_font_set() console handlers are called.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix array out of bounds access
The driver does not check if the cooling state passed to
gpio_fan_set_cur_state() exceeds the maximum cooling state as
stored in fan_data->num_speeds. Since the cooling state is later
used as an array index in set_fan_speed(), an array out of bounds
access can occur.
This can be exploited by setting the state of the thermal cooling device
to arbitrary values, causing for example a kernel oops when unavailable
memory is accessed this way.
Example kernel oops:
[ 807.987276] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual ad
wifi: mac80211: Don't finalize CSA in IBSS mode if state is disconnected
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Don't finalize CSA in IBSS mode if state is disconnected
When we are not connected to a channel, sending channel "switch"
announcement doesn't make any sense.
The BSS list is empty in that case. This causes the for loop in
cfg80211_get_bss() to be bypassed, so the function returns NULL
(check line 1424 of net/wireless/scan.c), causing the WARN_ON()
in ieee80211_ibss_csa_beacon() to get triggered (check line 500
of net/mac80211/ibss.c), which was consequently reported on the
syzkaller dashboard.
Thus, check if we have an existing connection before generatin
binder: fix UAF of ref->proc caused by race condition
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix UAF of ref->proc caused by race condition
A transaction of type BINDER_TYPE_WEAK_HANDLE can fail to increment the
reference for a node. In this case, the target proc normally releases
the failed reference upon close as expected. However, if the target is
dying in parallel the call will race with binder_deferred_release(), so
the target could have released all of its references by now leaving the
cleanup of the new failed reference unhandled.
The transaction then ends and the target proc gets released making the
ref->proc now a dangling pointer. Later on, ref->n
