In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: accept TCA_STAB only for root qdisc
Most qdiscs maintain their backlog using qdisc_pkt_len(skb)
on the assumption it is invariant between the enqueue()
and dequeue() handlers.
Unfortunately syzbot can crash a host rather easily using
a TBF + SFQ combination, with an STAB on SFQ [1]
We can't support TCA_STAB on arbitrary level, this would
require to maintain per-qdisc storage.

In this case, pppoe_sendmsg() is called with a zero size.

slip: make slhc_remember() more robust against malicious packets
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
slip: make slhc_remember() more robust against malicious packets
syzbot found that slhc_remember() was missing checks against
malicious packets [1].
slhc_remember() only checked the size of the packet was at least 20,
which is not good enough.
We need to make sure the packet includes the IPv4 and TCP header
that are supposed to be carried.
Add iph and th pointers to make the code more readable.

ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access
ASIHPI driver stores some values in the static array upon a response

size.
ext4: fix i_data_sem unlock order in ext4_ind_migrate()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix i_data_sem unlock order in ext4_ind_migrate()
Fuzzing reports a possible deadlock in jbd2_log_wait_commit.
This issue is triggered when an EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE ioctl is set to require
synchronous updates because the file descriptor is opened with O_SYNC.
This can lead to the jbd2_journal_stop() function calling
jbd2_might_wait_for_commit(), potentially causing a deadlock if the
EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE call races with a write(2) system call.
This problem only arises when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled. In this
case, the jbd2_might_wait_for_commit macro locks jbd2_handle in
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix memory disclosure
When applying padding, the buffer is not zeroed, which results in memory
disclosure. The mentioned data is observed on the wire. This patch uses
skb_put_padto() to pad Ethernet frames properly. The mentioned function
zeroes the expanded buffer.
In case the packet cannot be padded it is silently dropped. Statistics
are also not incremented. This driver does not support statistics in the
old 32-bit format or the new 64-bit format. These will be added in the
future. In its current form, the patch should be easily backported to
cifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing NFS reparse points
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing NFS reparse points
ReparseDataLength is sum of the InodeType size and DataBuffer size.
So to get DataBuffer size it is needed to subtract InodeType's size from
ReparseDataLength.
Function cifs_strndup_from_utf16() is currentlly accessing buf->DataBuffer
at position after the end of the buffer because it does not subtract
InodeType size from the length. Fix this problem and correctly subtract
variable len.
Member InodeType is present only when reparse buffer is large enough. Check
for ReparseDataLength before accessing InodeType to pr
i2c: stm32f7: Do not prepare/unprepare clock during runtime suspend/resume
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: stm32f7: Do not prepare/unprepare clock during runtime suspend/resume
In case there is any sort of clock controller attached to this I2C bus
controller, for example Versaclock or even an AIC32x4 I2C codec, then
an I2C transfer triggered from the clock controller clk_ops .prepare
callback may trigger a deadlock on drivers/clk/clk.c prepare_lock mutex.
This is because the clock controller first grabs the prepare_lock mutex
and then performs the prepare operation, including its I2C access. The
I2C access resumes this I2C bus controller via .runtime_resume callback,
which
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in more places
For fixing CVE-2023-6270, f98364e92662 ("aoe: fix the potential
use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts") makes tx() calling dev_put()
instead of doing in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). It avoids that the tx() runs
into use-after-free.
Then Nicolai Stange found more places in aoe have potential use-after-free
problem with tx(). e.g. revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe()
and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Those functions also use aoenet_xmit() to push
packet to tx queue. So they should also use dev_hold() to increase the

media: venus: fix use after free bug in venus_remove due to race condition
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: venus: fix use after free bug in venus_remove due to race condition
in venus_probe, core->work is bound with venus_sys_error_handler, which is
used to handle error. The code use core->sys_err_done to make sync work.
The core->work is started in venus_event_notify.
If we call venus_remove, there might be an unfished work. The possible
sequence is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
|venus_sys_error_handler
venus_remove |
hfi_destroy |
venus_hfi_destroy |
kfree(hdev); |
|hfi_reinit
|venus_hfi_queue
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uprobes: fix kernel info leak via "[uprobes]" vma
xol_add_vma() maps the uninitialized page allocated by __create_xol_area()
into userspace. On some architectures (x86) this memory is readable even
without VM_READ, VM_EXEC results in the same pgprot_t as VM_EXEC|VM_READ,
although this doesn't really matter, debugger can read this memory anyway.
NFSD: Limit the number of concurrent async COPY operations
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Limit the number of concurrent async COPY operations
Nothing appears to limit the number of concurrent async COPY
operations that clients can start. In addition, AFAICT each async
COPY can copy an unlimited number of 4MB chunks, so can run for a
long time. Thus IMO async COPY can become a DoS vector.
Add a restriction mechanism that bounds the number of concurrent
background COPY operations. Start simple and try to be fair -- this
patch implements a per-namespace limit.
An async COPY request that occurs while this limit is exceeded gets
NFS4ERR_DELAY. The requesting
r8169: add tally counter fields added with RTL8125
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
r8169: add tally counter fields added with RTL8125
RTL8125 added fields to the tally counter, what may result in the chip
dma'ing these new fields to unallocated memory. Therefore make sure
that the allocated memory area is big enough to hold all of the
tally counter values, even if we use only parts of it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: cancel dqi_sync_work before freeing oinfo
ocfs2_global_read_info() will initialize and schedule dqi_sync_work at the
end, if error occurs after successfully reading global quota, it will
trigger the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_* enabled:
ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object: 00000000d8b0ce28 object type: timer_list hint: qsync_work_fn+0x0/0x16c
This reports that there is an active delayed work when freeing oinfo in
error handling, so cancel dqi_sync_work first. BTW, return status instead
of -1 when .read_file_info fails.
ocfs2: remove unreasonable unlock in ocfs2_read_blocks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: remove unreasonable unlock in ocfs2_read_blocks
Patch series "Misc fixes for ocfs2_read_blocks", v5.
This series contains 2 fixes for ocfs2_read_blocks(). The first patch fix
the issue reported by syzbot, which detects bad unlock balance in
ocfs2_read_blocks(). The second patch fixes an issue reported by Heming
Zhao when reviewing above fix.
This patch (of 2):
There was a lock release before exiting, so remove the unreasonable unlock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: bcm2835: Fix timeout during suspend mode
During noirq suspend phase the Raspberry Pi power driver suffer of
firmware property timeouts. The reason is that the IRQ of the underlying
BCM2835 mailbox is disabled and rpi_firmware_property_list() will always
run into a timeout [1].
Since the VideoCore side isn't consider as a wakeup source, set the
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag for the mailbox IRQ in order to keep it enabled
during suspend-resume cycle.
