s390/dasd: fix Oops in dasd_alias_get_start_dev due to missing pavgroup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: fix Oops in dasd_alias_get_start_dev due to missing pavgroup
Fix Oops in dasd_alias_get_start_dev() function caused by the pavgroup
pointer being NULL.
The pavgroup pointer is checked on the entrance of the function but
without the lcu->lock being held. Therefore there is a race window
between dasd_alias_get_start_dev() and _lcu_update() which sets
pavgroup to NULL with the lcu->lock held.
Fix by checking the pavgroup pointer with lcu->lock held.
ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0
When walking through an inode extents, the ext4_ext_binsearch_idx() function
assumes that the extent header has been previously validated. However, there
are no checks that verify that the number of entries (eh->eh_entries) is
non-zero when depth is > 0. And this will lead to problems because the
EXT_FIRST_INDEX() and EXT_LAST_INDEX() will return garbage and result in this:

aio: fix mremap after fork null-deref
Commit e4a0d3e720e7 ("aio: Make it possible to remap aio ring") introduced
a null-deref if mremap is called on an old aio mapping after fork as

binder: check offset alignment in binder_get_object()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: check offset alignment in binder_get_object()
Commit 6d98eb95b450 ("binder: avoid potential data leakage when copying
txn") introduced changes to how binder objects are copied. In doing so,
it unintentionally removed an offset alignment check done through calls
to binder_alloc_copy_from_buffer() -> check_buffer().
These calls were replaced in binder_get_object() with copy_from_user(),
so now an explicit offset alignment check is needed here. This avoids
later complications when unwinding the objects gets harder.
It is worth noting this check existed prior to commi
netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path
The commit mutex should not be released during the critical section
between nft_gc_seq_begin() and nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GC
worker could collect expired objects and get the released commit lock
within the same GC sequence.
nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to load
module dependencies, then it goes back to replay the transaction again.
Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.
af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect()
Garbage collector does not take into account the risk of embryo getting
enqueued during the garbage collection. If such embryo has a peer that
carries SCM_RIGHTS, two consecutive passes of scan_children() may see a
different set of children. Leading to an incorrectly elevated inflight
count, and then a dangling pointer within the gc_inflight_list.
sockets are AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM
S is an unconnected socket
L is a listening in-flight socket bound to addr, not in fdtable
V's fd will be passed via sendmsg(), gets inflight
drm/amdgpu: validate the parameters of bo mapping operations more clearly

amdgpu_vm_bo_(map/replace_map/clearing_mappings) in one common place.
inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use
ip_local_out() and other functions can pass skb->sk as function argument.
If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call
returns, the sk must not be released.
This affects skb fragments reassembled via netfilter or similar
modules, e.g. openvswitch or ct_act.c, when run as part of tx pipeline.
Eric Dumazet made an initial analysis of this bug. Quoting Eric:
Calling ip_defrag() in output path is also implying skb_orphan(),
which is buggy because output path relies on sk not disappeari
tracing/trigger: Fix to return error if failed to alloc snapshot
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/trigger: Fix to return error if failed to alloc snapshot
Fix register_snapshot_trigger() to return error code if it failed to
allocate a snapshot instead of 0 (success). Unless that, it will register
snapshot trigger without an error.
scsi: Revert "scsi: fcoe: Fix potential deadlock on &fip->ctlr_lock"
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: Revert "scsi: fcoe: Fix potential deadlock on &fip->ctlr_lock"
This reverts commit 1a1975551943f681772720f639ff42fbaa746212.
This commit causes interrupts to be lost for FCoE devices, since it changed
sping locks from "bh" to "irqsave".
Instead, a work queue should be used, and will be addressed in a separate
commit.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Reset IH OVERFLOW_CLEAR bit
Allows us to detect subsequent IH ring buffer overflows as well.
netfilter: ipset: fix performance regression in swap operation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: fix performance regression in swap operation
The patch "netfilter: ipset: fix race condition between swap/destroy
and kernel side add/del/test", commit 28628fa9 fixes a race condition.
But the synchronize_rcu() added to the swap function unnecessarily slows
it down: it can safely be moved to destroy and use call_rcu() instead.
Eric Dumazet pointed out that simply calling the destroy functions as
rcu callback does not work: sets with timeout use garbage collectors
which need cancelling at destroy which can wait. Therefore the destroy
functions are split in

Bluetooth: rfcomm: Fix null-ptr-deref in rfcomm_check_security
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: rfcomm: Fix null-ptr-deref in rfcomm_check_security
During our fuzz testing of the connection and disconnection process at the
RFCOMM layer, we discovered this bug. By comparing the packets from a
normal connection and disconnection process with the testcase that
triggered a KASAN report. We analyzed the cause of this bug as follows:
1. In the packets captured during a normal connection, the host sends a
`Read Encryption Key Size` type of `HCI_CMD` packet
(Command Opcode: 0x1408) to the controller to inquire the length of
encryption key.After receiving this pack

aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
This patch is against CVE-2023-6270. The description of cve is:
A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on
`struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing
between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq`
global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or
potential code execution.
In aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), it always calls dev_put(ifp) when skb initial
