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

net: fix NULL pointer in skb_segment_list
Commit 3a1296a38d0c ("net: Support GRO/GSO fraglist chaining.")
introduced UDP listifyed GRO. The segmentation relies on frag_list being
untouched when passing through the network stack. This assumption can be
broken sometimes, where frag_list itself gets pulled into linear area,
leaving frag_list being NULL. When this happens it can trigger
following NULL pointer dereference, and panic the kernel. Reverse the

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

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

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

bpf, sockmap: Check for any of tcp_bpf_prots when cloning a listener
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Check for any of tcp_bpf_prots when cloning a listener
A listening socket linked to a sockmap has its sk_prot overridden. It
points to one of the struct proto variants in tcp_bpf_prots. The variant
depends on the socket's family and which sockmap programs are attached.
A child socket cloned from a TCP listener initially inherits their sk_prot.
But before cloning is finished, we restore the child's proto to the
listener's original non-tcp_bpf_prots one. This happens in
tcp_create_openreq_child -> tcp_bpf_clone.
Today, in tcp_bpf_clone we detect if the child's
net: phy: dp83822: Fix null pointer access on DP83825/DP83826 devices
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: dp83822: Fix null pointer access on DP83825/DP83826 devices
The probe() function is only used for the DP83822 PHY, leaving the
private data pointer uninitialized for the smaller DP83825/26 models.
While all uses of the private data structure are hidden in 82822 specific
callbacks, configuring the interrupt is shared across all models.
This causes a NULL pointer dereference on the smaller PHYs as it accesses
the private data unchecked. Verifying the pointer avoids that.

Bug report and analysis from Ding Hui.
During iSCSI session logout, if another task accesses the shost ipaddress
attr, we can get a KASAN UAF report like this:

scsi: iscsi_tcp: Fix UAF during login when accessing the shost ipaddress

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:
vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF
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
when vcs_size() is called.
Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().

btrfs: always report error in run_one_delayed_ref()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: always report error in run_one_delayed_ref()
Currently we have a btrfs_debug() for run_one_delayed_ref() failure, but
if end users hit such problem, there will be no chance that
btrfs_debug() is enabled. This can lead to very little useful info for
debugging.
This patch will:
- Add extra info for error reporting
Including:
* logical bytenr
* num_bytes
* type
* action
* ref_mod
- Replace the btrfs_debug() with btrfs_err()
- Move the error reporting into run_one_delayed_ref()
This is to avoid use-after-free, the @node can be freed in the caller.
