In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Fix an unsafe loop on the list
The kernel may crash when deleting a genetlink family if there are still
listeners for that family:
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

Change the unsafe loop on the list to a safe one, because inside the
loop there is an element removal from this list.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kthread: unpark only parked kthread
Calling into kthread unparking unconditionally is mostly harmless when
the kthread is already unparked. The wake up is then simply ignored
because the target is not in TASK_PARKED state.
However if the kthread is per CPU, the wake up is preceded by a call
to kthread_bind() which expects the task to be inactive and in
TASK_PARKED state, which obviously isn't the case if it is unparked.
As a result, calling kthread_stop() on an unparked per-cpu kthread
triggers such a warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at kernel/kthread.c:525 __kthread_bi
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: dax: fix overflowing extents beyond inode size when partially writing
The dax_iomap_rw() does two things in each iteration: map written blocks
and copy user data to blocks. If the process is killed by user(See signal
handling in dax_iomap_iter()), the copied data will be returned and added
on inode size, which means that the length of written extents may exceed
the inode size, then fsck will fail. An example is given as:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=file bs=4M count=1
dax_iomap_rw
iomap_iter // round 1
ext4_iomap_begin
ext4_iomap_alloc // allocate 0~2M extents(wri
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix memory leak in exfat_load_bitmap()
If the first directory entry in the root directory is not a bitmap
directory entry, 'bh' will not be released and reassigned, which
will cause a memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: don't WARN for racy path_noexec check
Both i_mode and noexec checks wrapped in WARN_ON stem from an artifact
of the previous implementation. They used to legitimately check for the
condition, but that got moved up in two commits:
633fb6ac3980 ("exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier")
0fd338b2d2cd ("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier")
Instead of being removed said checks are WARN_ON'ed instead, which
has some debug value.
However, the spurious path_noexec check is racy, resulting in
unwarranted warnings should someone race with setting the noexec flag.

Replace one-element array with a flexible-array member in
`struct host_cmd_ds_802_11_scan_ext`.
With this, fix the following warning:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access
ASIHPI driver stores some values in the static array upon a response
from the driver, and its index depends on the firmware. We shouldn't
trust it blindly.
This patch adds a sanity check of the array index to fit in the array
size.
ext4: fix i_data_sem unlock order in ext4_ind_migrate()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix i_data_sem unlock order in ext4_ind_migrate()
Fuzzing reports a possible deadlock in jbd2_log_wait_commit.
This issue is triggered when an EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE ioctl is set to require
synchronous updates because the file descriptor is opened with O_SYNC.
This can lead to the jbd2_journal_stop() function calling
jbd2_might_wait_for_commit(), potentially causing a deadlock if the
EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE call races with a write(2) system call.
This problem only arises when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled. In this
case, the jbd2_might_wait_for_commit macro locks jbd2_handle in
drm/amd/display: Fix system hang while resume with TBT monitor
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix system hang while resume with TBT monitor
[Why]
Connected with a Thunderbolt monitor and do the suspend and the system
may hang while resume.
The TBT monitor HPD will be triggered during the resume procedure
and call the drm_client_modeset_probe() while
struct drm_connector connector->dev->master is NULL.
It will mess up the pipe topology after resume.
[How]
Skip the TBT monitor HPD during the resume procedure because we
currently will probe the connectors after resume by default.

static_call: Handle module init failure correctly in static_call_del_module()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
static_call: Handle module init failure correctly in static_call_del_module()
Module insertion invokes static_call_add_module() to initialize the static
calls in a module. static_call_add_module() invokes __static_call_init(),
which allocates a struct static_call_mod to either encapsulate the built-in
static call sites of the associated key into it so further modules can be
added or to append the module to the module chain.
If that allocation fails the function returns with an error code and the
module core invokes static_call_del_module() to clean up eventually added

net/mlx5: Fix error path in multi-packet WQE transmit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix error path in multi-packet WQE transmit
Remove the erroneous unmap in case no DMA mapping was established
The multi-packet WQE transmit code attempts to obtain a DMA mapping for
the skb. This could fail, e.g. under memory pressure, when the IOMMU
driver just can't allocate more memory for page tables. While the code
tries to handle this in the path below the err_unmap label it erroneously
unmaps one entry from the sq's FIFO list of active mappings. Since the
current map attempt failed this unmap is removing some random DMA mapping
that might still be required
net/mlx5e: Fix NULL deref in mlx5e_tir_builder_alloc()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix NULL deref in mlx5e_tir_builder_alloc()
In mlx5e_tir_builder_alloc() kvzalloc() may return NULL
which is dereferenced on the next line in a reference
to the modify field.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: improve shutdown sequence
Alexander Sverdlin presents 2 problems during shutdown with the
lan9303 driver. One is specific to lan9303 and the other just happens
to reproduce there.
The first problem is that lan9303 is unique among DSA drivers in that it
calls dev_get_drvdata() at "arbitrary runtime" (not probe, not shutdown,
not remove):
phy_state_machine()
-> ...
-> dsa_user_phy_read()
-> ds->ops->phy_read()
-> lan9303_phy_read()
-> chip->ops->phy_read()
-> lan9303_mdio_phy_read()
-> dev_get_drvdata(
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix memory disclosure
When applying padding, the buffer is not zeroed, which results in memory
disclosure. The mentioned data is observed on the wire. This patch uses
skb_put_padto() to pad Ethernet frames properly. The mentioned function
zeroes the expanded buffer.
In case the packet cannot be padded it is silently dropped. Statistics
are also not incremented. This driver does not support statistics in the
old 32-bit format or the new 64-bit format. These will be added in the
future. In its current form, the patch should be easily backported to
cifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing NFS reparse points
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing NFS reparse points
ReparseDataLength is sum of the InodeType size and DataBuffer size.
So to get DataBuffer size it is needed to subtract InodeType's size from
ReparseDataLength.
Function cifs_strndup_from_utf16() is currentlly accessing buf->DataBuffer
at position after the end of the buffer because it does not subtract
InodeType size from the length. Fix this problem and correctly subtract
variable len.
Member InodeType is present only when reparse buffer is large enough. Check
for ReparseDataLength before accessing InodeType to pr
i2c: stm32f7: Do not prepare/unprepare clock during runtime suspend/resume
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: stm32f7: Do not prepare/unprepare clock during runtime suspend/resume
In case there is any sort of clock controller attached to this I2C bus
controller, for example Versaclock or even an AIC32x4 I2C codec, then
an I2C transfer triggered from the clock controller clk_ops .prepare
callback may trigger a deadlock on drivers/clk/clk.c prepare_lock mutex.
This is because the clock controller first grabs the prepare_lock mutex
and then performs the prepare operation, including its I2C access. The
I2C access resumes this I2C bus controller via .runtime_resume callback,

ext4: drop ppath from ext4_ext_replay_update_ex() to avoid double-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: drop ppath from ext4_ext_replay_update_ex() to avoid double-free
When calling ext4_force_split_extent_at() in ext4_ext_replay_update_ex(),
the 'ppath' is updated but it is the 'path' that is freed, thus potentially
triggering a double-free in the following process:
ext4_ext_replay_update_ex
ppath = path
ext4_force_split_extent_at(&ppath)
ext4_split_extent_at
ext4_ext_insert_extent
ext4_ext_create_new_leaf

aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places
For fixing CVE-2023-6270, f98364e92662 ("aoe: fix the potential
use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts") makes tx() calling dev_put()
instead of doing in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). It avoids that the tx() runs
into use-after-free.
Then Nicolai Stange found more places in aoe have potential use-after-free
problem with tx(). e.g. revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe()
and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Those functions also use aoenet_xmit() to push
packet to tx queue. So they should also use dev_hold() to increase the
refc
