In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: usbip: fix a refcount leak in stub_probe()
usb_get_dev() is called in stub_device_alloc(). When stub_probe() fails
after that, usb_put_dev() needs to be called to release the reference.
Fix this by moving usb_put_dev() to sdev_free error path handling.
Find this by code review.
ubi: ubi_create_volume: Fix use-after-free when volume creation failed
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubi: ubi_create_volume: Fix use-after-free when volume creation failed
There is an use-after-free problem for 'eba_tbl' in ubi_create_volume()'s
error handling path:
ubi_eba_replace_table(vol, eba_tbl)
vol->eba_tbl = tbl
out_mapping:
ubi_eba_destroy_table(eba_tbl) // Free 'eba_tbl'
out_unlock:
put_device(&vol->dev)
vol_release
kfree(tbl->entries) // UAF
Fix it by removing redundant 'eba_tbl' releasing.

soc: rockchip: Fix refcount leak in rockchip_grf_init
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: rockchip: Fix refcount leak in rockchip_grf_init
of_find_matching_node_and_match returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
rtc: mt6397: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: mt6397: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value.
tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context
Laurent reported the enclosed report [1]
This bug triggers with following coditions:
0) Kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y
1) A new passive FastOpen TCP socket is created.
This FO socket waits for an ACK coming from client to be a complete
ESTABLISHED one.
2) A socket operation on this socket goes through lock_sock()
release_sock() dance.
3) While the socket is owned by the user in step 2),
a retransmit of the SYN is received and stored in socket backlog.
4) At release_sock() time, the socket back
firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix memory leak in dmi_sysfs_register_handle
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix memory leak in dmi_sysfs_register_handle
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fix this issue by calling kobject_put().
net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: out of bounds read in mtk_hwlro_get_fdir_entry()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: out of bounds read in mtk_hwlro_get_fdir_entry()
The "fsp->location" variable comes from user via ethtool_get_rxnfc().
Check that it is valid to prevent an out of bounds read.
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fix refcount leak in mv88e6xxx_mdios_register
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fix refcount leak in mv88e6xxx_mdios_register
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
mv88e6xxx_mdio_register() pass the device node to of_mdiobus_register().
We don't need the device node after it.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: pata_octeon_cf: Fix refcount leak in octeon_cf_probe
of_find_device_by_node() takes reference, we should use put_device()
to release it when not need anymore.
Add missing put_device() to avoid refcount leak.
net: altera: Fix refcount leak in altera_tse_mdio_create
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: altera: Fix refcount leak in altera_tse_mdio_create
Every iteration of for_each_child_of_node() decrements
the reference count of the previous node.
When break from a for_each_child_of_node() loop,
we need to explicitly call of_node_put() on the child node when
not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mdio: unexport __init-annotated mdio_bus_init()
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.
Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.
There are two ways to fix it:
- Remove __init
- Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL
I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree c

af_unix: Fix a data-race in unix_dgram_peer_wake_me().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix a data-race in unix_dgram_peer_wake_me().
unix_dgram_poll() calls unix_dgram_peer_wake_me() without `other`'s
lock held and check if its receive queue is full. Here we need to
use unix_recvq_full_lockless() instead of unix_recvq_full(), otherwise
KCSAN will report a data-race.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid cycles in directory h-tree
A maliciously corrupted filesystem can contain cycles in the h-tree
stored inside a directory. That can easily lead to the kernel corrupting
tree nodes that were already verified under its hands while doing a node
split and consequently accessing unallocated memory. Fix the problem by
verifying traversed block numbers are unique.
ip_gre: test csum_start instead of transport header
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_gre: test csum_start instead of transport header
GRE with TUNNEL_CSUM will apply local checksum offload on
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL packets.
ipgre_xmit must validate csum_start after an optional skb_pull,
else lco_csum may trigger an overflow. The original check was
if (csum && skb_checksum_start(skb) < skb->data)
return -EINVAL;
This had false positives when skb_checksum_start is undefined:
when ip_summed is not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. A discussed refinement
was straightforward
if (csum && skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL &&
skb_checksum_start(skb) < skb->data)

ocfs2: dlmfs: fix error handling of user_dlm_destroy_lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: dlmfs: fix error handling of user_dlm_destroy_lock
When user_dlm_destroy_lock failed, it didn't clean up the flags it set
before exit. For USER_LOCK_IN_TEARDOWN, if this function fails because of
lock is still in used, next time when unlink invokes this function, it
will return succeed, and then unlink will remove inode and dentry if lock
is not in used(file closed), but the dlm lock is still linked in dlm lock
resource, then when bast come in, it will trigger a panic due to
user-after-free. See the following panic call trace. To fix this,
