pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable()
The "pctldev" struct is allocated in devm_pinctrl_register_and_init().
It's a devm_ managed pointer that is freed by devm_pinctrl_dev_release(),
so freeing it in pinctrl_enable() will lead to a double free.
The devm_pinctrl_dev_release() function frees the pindescs and destroys
the mutex as well.
nfs: Handle error of rpc_proc_register() in nfs_net_init().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: Handle error of rpc_proc_register() in nfs_net_init().
syzkaller reported a warning [0] triggered while destroying immature
netns.
rpc_proc_register() was called in init_nfs_fs(), but its error
has been ignored since at least the initial commit 1da177e4c3f4
("Linux-2.6.12-rc2").
Recently, commit d47151b79e32 ("nfs: expose /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs
in net namespaces") converted the procfs to per-netns and made
the problem more visible.
Even when rpc_proc_register() fails, nfs_net_init() could succeed,
and thus nfs_net_exit() will be called while destroying the netns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bna: ensure the copied buf is NUL terminated
Currently, we allocate a nbytes-sized kernel buffer and copy nbytes from
userspace to that buffer. Later, we use sscanf on this buffer but we don't
ensure that the string is terminated inside the buffer, this can lead to
OOB read when using sscanf. Fix this issue by using memdup_user_nul
instead of memdup_user.
nsh: Restore skb->{protocol,data,mac_header} for outer header in nsh_gso_segment().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nsh: Restore skb->{protocol,data,mac_header} for outer header in nsh_gso_segment().
syzbot triggered various splats (see [0] and links) by a crafted GSO
packet of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP layering the following protocols:
ETH_P_8021AD + ETH_P_NSH + ETH_P_IPV6 + IPPROTO_UDP
NSH can encapsulate IPv4, IPv6, Ethernet, NSH, and MPLS. As the inner
protocol can be Ethernet, NSH GSO handler, nsh_gso_segment(), calls
skb_mac_gso_segment() to invoke inner protocol GSO handlers.
nsh_gso_segment() does the following for the original skb before
calling skb_mac_gso_segment()

scsi: bnx2fc: Remove spin_lock_bh while releasing resources after upload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: bnx2fc: Remove spin_lock_bh while releasing resources after upload
The session resources are used by FW and driver when session is offloaded,
once session is uploaded these resources are not used. The lock is not
required as these fields won't be used any longer. The offload and upload
calls are sequential, hence lock is not required.
This will suppress following BUG_ON():

tcp: defer shutdown(SEND_SHUTDOWN) for TCP_SYN_RECV sockets
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: defer shutdown(SEND_SHUTDOWN) for TCP_SYN_RECV sockets
TCP_SYN_RECV state is really special, it is only used by
cross-syn connections, mostly used by fuzzers.
In the following crash [1], syzbot managed to trigger a divide
by zero in tcp_rcv_space_adjust()
A socket makes the following state transitions,
without ever calling tcp_init_transfer(),
meaning tcp_init_buffer_space() is also not called.
TCP_CLOSE
connect()
TCP_SYN_SENT
TCP_SYN_RECV
shutdown() -> tcp_shutdown(sk, SEND_SHUTDOWN)

tcp: Use refcount_inc_not_zero() in tcp_twsk_unique().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Use refcount_inc_not_zero() in tcp_twsk_unique().
Anderson Nascimento reported a use-after-free splat in tcp_twsk_unique()
with nice analysis.
Since commit ec94c2696f0b ("tcp/dccp: avoid one atomic operation for
timewait hashdance"), inet_twsk_hashdance() sets TIME-WAIT socket's
sk_refcnt after putting it into ehash and releasing the bucket lock.
Thus, there is a small race window where other threads could try to
reuse the port during connect() and call sock_hold() in tcp_twsk_unique()
for the TIME-WAIT socket with zero refcnt.
If that happens, the refcnt taken by t
ipv6: fib6_rules: avoid possible NULL dereference in fib6_rule_action()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

syzbot is able to trigger the following crash [1],
caused by unsafe ip6_dst_idev() use.
Indeed ip6_dst_idev() can return NULL, and must always be checked.

usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix race between aio_cancel() and AIO request complete
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix race between aio_cancel() and AIO request complete
FFS based applications can utilize the aio_cancel() callback to dequeue
pending USB requests submitted to the UDC. There is a scenario where the
FFS application issues an AIO cancel call, while the UDC is handling a
soft disconnect. For a DWC3 based implementation, the callstack looks
like the following:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix out-of-bounds access in ops_init
net_alloc_generic is called by net_alloc, which is called without any
locking. It reads max_gen_ptrs, which is changed under pernet_ops_rwsem. It
is read twice, first to allocate an array, then to set s.len, which is
later used to limit the bounds of the array access.
It is possible that the array is allocated and another thread is
registering a new pernet ops, increments max_gen_ptrs, which is then used
to set s.len with a larger than allocated length for the variable array.
Fix it by reading max_gen_ptrs only once in net_alloc_g
clk: sunxi-ng: h6: Reparent CPUX during PLL CPUX rate change
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: sunxi-ng: h6: Reparent CPUX during PLL CPUX rate change
While PLL CPUX clock rate change when CPU is running from it works in
vast majority of cases, now and then it causes instability. This leads
to system crashes and other undefined behaviour. After a lot of testing
(30+ hours) while also doing a lot of frequency switches, we can't
observe any instability issues anymore when doing reparenting to stable
clock like 24 MHz oscillator.
i40e: fix vf may be used uninitialized in this function warning
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: fix vf may be used uninitialized in this function warning
To fix the regression introduced by commit 52424f974bc5, which causes
servers hang in very hard to reproduce conditions with resets races.
Using two sources for the information is the root cause.
In this function before the fix bumping v didn't mean bumping vf
pointer. But the code used this variables interchangeably, so stale vf
could point to different/not intended vf.
Remove redundant "v" variable and iterate via single VF pointer across
whole function instead to guarantee VF pointer validity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtnetlink: Correct nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST attribute validation
Each attribute inside a nested IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST is assumed to be a
struct ifla_vf_vlan_info so the size of such attribute needs to be at least
of sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) which is 14 bytes.
The current size validation in do_setvfinfo is against NLA_HDRLEN (4 bytes)
which is less than sizeof(struct ifla_vf_vlan_info) so this validation
is not enough and a too small attribute might be cast to a
struct ifla_vf_vlan_info, this might result in an out of bands
read access when accessing the saved (casted) e
tty: n_gsm: fix possible out-of-bounds in gsm0_receive()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: n_gsm: fix possible out-of-bounds in gsm0_receive()
Assuming the following:
- side A configures the n_gsm in basic option mode
- side B sends the header of a basic option mode frame with data length 1
- side A switches to advanced option mode
- side B sends 2 data bytes which exceeds gsm->len
Reason: gsm->len is not used in advanced option mode.
- side A switches to basic option mode
- side B keeps sending until gsm0_receive() writes past gsm->buf
Reason: Neither gsm->state nor gsm->len have been reset after
reconfiguration.
Fix this by changing gsm->count to gs

tcp: do not accept ACK of bytes we never sent
This patch is based on a detailed report and ideas from Yepeng Pan

ACK seq validation is currently following RFC 5961 5.2 guidelines:
The ACK value is considered acceptable only if
it is in the range of ((SND.UNA - MAX.SND.WND) <= SEG.ACK <=
SND.NXT). All incoming segments whose ACK value doesn't satisfy the
above condition MUST be discarded and an ACK sent back. It needs to
be noted that RFC 793 on page 72 (fifth check) says: "If the ACK is a
duplicate (SEG.ACK < SND.UNA), it can be i
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppdev: Add an error check in register_device
In register_device, the return value of ida_simple_get is unchecked,
in witch ida_simple_get will use an invalid index value.
To address this issue, index should be checked after ida_simple_get. When
the index value is abnormal, a warning message should be printed, the port
should be dropped, and the value should be recorded.
