Bluetooth: fix null ptr deref on hci_sync_conn_complete_evt
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix null ptr deref on hci_sync_conn_complete_evt
This event is just specified for SCO and eSCO link types.
On the reception of a HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete for a BDADDR
of an existing LE connection, LE link type and a status that triggers the
second case of the packet processing a NULL pointer dereference happens,
as conn->link is NULL.
netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip expired elements during walk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip expired elements during walk
There is an asymmetry between commit/abort and preparation phase if the
following conditions are met:
1. set is a verdict map ("1.2.3.4 : jump foo")
2. timeouts are enabled
In this case, following sequence is problematic:
1. element E in set S refers to chain C
2. userspace requests removal of set S
3. kernel does a set walk to decrement chain->use count for all elements
from preparation phase
4. kernel does another set walk to remove elements from the commit phase
(or another walk to do a chain->use inc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_set_pipapo: fix initial map fill
The initial buffer has to be inited to all-ones, but it must restrict
it to the size of the first field, not the total field size.
After each round in the map search step, the result and the fill map
are swapped, so if we have a set where f->bsize of the first element
is smaller than m->bsize_max, those one-bits are leaked into future
rounds result map.
This makes pipapo find an incorrect matching results for sets where
first field size is not the largest.
Followup patch adds a test case to nft_concat_range.sh selftest scrip
netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API
Use the GC transaction API to replace the old and buggy gc API and the
busy mark approach.
No set elements are removed from async garbage collection anymore,
instead the _DEAD bit is set on so the set element is not visible from
lookup path anymore. Async GC enqueues transaction work that might be
aborted and retried later.
rbtree and pipapo set backends does not set on the _DEAD bit from the
sync GC path since this runs in control plane path where mutex is held.
In this case, set elements are deactivated,
A cross-privilege Spectre v2 vulnerability allows attackers to bypass all deployed mitigations, including the recent Fine(IBT), and to leak arbitrary Linux kernel memory on Intel systems.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: stop qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog on TC_H_ROOT
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: stop qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog on TC_H_ROOT
In qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog, Qdiscs with major handle ffff: are assumed
to be either root or ingress. This assumption is bogus since it's valid
to create egress qdiscs with major handle ffff:
Budimir Markovic found that for qdiscs like DRR that maintain an active
class list, it will cause a UAF with a dangling class pointer.
In 066a3b5b2346, the concern was to avoid iterating over the ingress
qdisc since its parent is itself. The proper fix is to stop when parent
TC_H_ROOT is reached because the only way to retrieve i
vsock/virtio: Initialization of the dangling pointer occurring in vsk->trans
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock/virtio: Initialization of the dangling pointer occurring in vsk->trans
During loopback communication, a dangling pointer can be created in
vsk->trans, potentially leading to a Use-After-Free condition. This
issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.
A flaw was found within the handling of SMB2_READ commands in the kernel ksmbd module. The issue results from not releasing memory after its effective lifetime. An attacker can leverage this to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations of Linux. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability, but only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable.
Kernel: ksmbd: read request out-of-bounds read information disclosure vulnerability
A flaw was found within the handling of SMB2 read requests in the kernel ksmbd module. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Linux. Only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable to this CVE.
Kernel: ksmbd: transform header out-of-bounds read information disclosure vulnerability
A flaw was found within the parsing of SMB2 requests that have a transform header in the kernel ksmbd module. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Linux. Only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable to this CVE.
Kernel: ksmbd: smb2_open out-of-bounds read information disclosure vulnerability
A flaw was found within the parsing of extended attributes in the kernel ksmbd module. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Linux. Only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable to this CVE.
Kernel: cyttsp4_core: use-after-free in cyttsp4_watchdog_work()
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the cyttsp4_core driver in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs in the device cleanup routine due to a possible rearming of the watchdog_timer from the workqueue. This could allow a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't set SB_RDONLY after filesystem errors
When the filesystem is mounted with errors=remount-ro, we were setting
SB_RDONLY flag to stop all filesystem modifications. We knew this misses
proper locking (sb->s_umount) and does not go through proper filesystem
remount procedure but it has been the way this worked since early ext2
days and it was good enough for catastrophic situation damage
mitigation. Recently, syzbot has found a way (see link) to trigger
warnings in filesystem freezing because the code got confused by
SB_RDONLY changing under its hands. Since these d
HID: amd_sfh: Switch to device-managed dmam_alloc_coherent()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: amd_sfh: Switch to device-managed dmam_alloc_coherent()
Using the device-managed version allows to simplify clean-up in probe()
error path.
Additionally, this device-managed ensures proper cleanup, which helps to
resolve memory errors, page faults, btrfs going read-only, and btrfs
disk corruption.
net: phy: dp83869: fix memory corruption when enabling fiber
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: dp83869: fix memory corruption when enabling fiber
When configuring the fiber port, the DP83869 PHY driver incorrectly
calls linkmode_set_bit() with a bit mask (1 << 10) rather than a bit
number (10). This corrupts some other memory location -- in case of
arm64 the priv pointer in the same structure.
Since the advertising flags are updated from supported at the end of the
function the incorrect line isn't needed at all and can be removed.
net: explicitly clear the sk pointer, when pf->create fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: explicitly clear the sk pointer, when pf->create fails
We have recently noticed the exact same KASAN splat as in commit
6cd4a78d962b ("net: do not leave a dangling sk pointer, when socket
creation fails"). The problem is that commit did not fully address the
problem, as some pf->create implementations do not use sk_common_release
in their error paths.
For example, we can use the same reproducer as in the above commit, but
changing ping to arping. arping uses AF_PACKET socket and if packet_create
fails, it will just sk_free the allocated sk object.

virtio_pmem: Check device status before requesting flush
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_pmem: Check device status before requesting flush
If a pmem device is in a bad status, the driver side could wait for
host ack forever in virtio_pmem_flush(), causing the system to hang.
So add a status check in the beginning of virtio_pmem_flush() to return
early if the device is not activated.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sisfb: Fix strbuf array overflow
The values of the variables xres and yres are placed in strbuf.
These variables are obtained from strbuf1.
The strbuf1 array contains digit characters
and a space if the array contains non-digit characters.
Then, when executing sprintf(strbuf, "%ux%ux8", xres, yres);
more than 16 bytes will be written to strbuf.
It is suggested to increase the size of the strbuf array to 24.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
