misc: ocxl: fix possible name leak in ocxl_file_register_afu()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: ocxl: fix possible name leak in ocxl_file_register_afu()
If device_register() returns error in ocxl_file_register_afu(),
the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment
of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give
up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(),
and info is freed in info_release().
ext4: fix deadlock due to mbcache entry corruption
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix deadlock due to mbcache entry corruption
When manipulating xattr blocks, we can deadlock infinitely looping
inside ext4_xattr_block_set() where we constantly keep finding xattr
block for reuse in mbcache but we are unable to reuse it because its
reference count is too big. This happens because cache entry for the
xattr block is marked as reusable (e_reusable set) although its
reference count is too big. When this inconsistency happens, this
inconsistent state is kept indefinitely and so ext4_xattr_block_set()
keeps retrying indefinitely.
The inconsistent state is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ipw2200: fix memory leak in ipw_wdev_init()
In the error path of ipw_wdev_init(), exception value is returned, and
the memory applied for in the function is not released. Also the memory
is not released in ipw_pci_probe(). As a result, memory leakage occurs.
So memory release needs to be added to the error path of ipw_wdev_init().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwrng: geode - Fix PCI device refcount leak
for_each_pci_dev() is implemented by pci_get_device(). The comment of
pci_get_device() says that it will increase the reference count for the
returned pci_dev and also decrease the reference count for the input
pci_dev @from if it is not NULL.
If we break for_each_pci_dev() loop with pdev not NULL, we need to call
pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count. We add a new struct
'amd_geode_priv' to record pointer of the pci_dev and membase, and then
add missing pci_dev_put() for the normal and error path.
loop: loop_set_status_from_info() check before assignment
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: loop_set_status_from_info() check before assignment
In loop_set_status_from_info(), lo->lo_offset and lo->lo_sizelimit should
be checked before reassignment, because if an overflow error occurs, the
original correct value will be changed to the wrong value, and it will not
be changed back.
More, the original patch did not solve the problem, the value was set and
ioctl returned an error, but the subsequent io used the value in the loop
driver, which still caused an alarm:
loop_handle_cmd
do_req_filebacked
loff_t pos = ((loff_t) blk_rq_pos(rq) << 9) + lo->lo_offset
ARM: zynq: Fix refcount leak in zynq_early_slcr_init
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: zynq: Fix refcount leak in zynq_early_slcr_init
of_find_compatible_node() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
we should use of_node_put() on error path.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
crypto: lib/mpi - avoid null pointer deref in mpi_cmp_ui()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: lib/mpi - avoid null pointer deref in mpi_cmp_ui()
During NVMeTCP Authentication a controller can trigger a kernel
oops by specifying the 8192 bit Diffie Hellman group and passing
a correctly sized, but zeroed Diffie Hellamn value.
mpi_cmp_ui() was detecting this if the second parameter was 0,
but 1 is passed from dh_is_pubkey_valid(). This causes the null
pointer u->d to be dereferenced towards the end of mpi_cmp_ui()
wifi: mwifiex: fix memory leak in mwifiex_histogram_read()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Always free the zeroed page on return from 'mwifiex_histogram_read()'.
nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of nilfs_root in nilfs_evict_inode()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of nilfs_root in nilfs_evict_inode()
During unmount process of nilfs2, nothing holds nilfs_root structure after
nilfs2 detaches its writer in nilfs_detach_log_writer(). However, since
nilfs_evict_inode() uses nilfs_root for some cleanup operations, it may
cause use-after-free read if inodes are left in "garbage_list" and
released by nilfs_dispose_list() at the end of nilfs_detach_log_writer().
Fix this issue by modifying nilfs_evict_inode() to only clear inode
without additional metadata changes that use nilfs_root if the file system
is degr

wifi: ath9k: htc_hst: free skb in ath9k_htc_rx_msg() if there is no callback function
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: htc_hst: free skb in ath9k_htc_rx_msg() if there is no callback function
It is stated that ath9k_htc_rx_msg() either frees the provided skb or
passes its management to another callback function. However, the skb is
not freed in case there is no another callback function, and Syzkaller was
able to cause a memory leak. Also minor comment fix.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

HID: wacom: Use ktime_t rather than int when dealing with timestamps
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: wacom: Use ktime_t rather than int when dealing with timestamps
Code which interacts with timestamps needs to use the ktime_t type
returned by functions like ktime_get. The int type does not offer
enough space to store these values, and attempting to use it is a
recipe for problems. In this particular case, overflows would occur
when calculating/storing timestamps leading to incorrect values being
reported to userspace. In some cases these bad timestamps cause input
handling in userspace to appear hung.
f2fs: fix information leak in f2fs_move_inline_dirents()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix information leak in f2fs_move_inline_dirents()
When converting an inline directory to a regular one, f2fs is leaking
uninitialized memory to disk because it doesn't initialize the entire
directory block. Fix this by zero-initializing the block.
This bug was introduced by commit 4ec17d688d74 ("f2fs: avoid unneeded
initializing when converting inline dentry"), which didn't consider the
security implications of leaking uninitialized memory to disk.
This was found by running xfstest generic/435 on a KMSAN-enabled kernel.

dccp: Fix out of bounds access in DCCP error handler
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dccp: Fix out of bounds access in DCCP error handler
There was a previous attempt to fix an out-of-bounds access in the DCCP
error handlers, but that fix assumed that the error handlers only want
to access the first 8 bytes of the DCCP header. Actually, they also look
at the DCCP sequence number, which is stored beyond 8 bytes, so an
explicit pskb_may_pull() is required.
