In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/core: Implement a limit on UMAD receive List
The existing behavior of ib_umad, which maintains received MAD
packets in an unbounded list, poses a risk of uncontrolled growth.
As user-space applications extract packets from this list, the rate
of extraction may not match the rate of incoming packets, leading
to potential list overflow.
To address this, we introduce a limit to the size of the list. After
considering typical scenarios, such as OpenSM processing, which can
handle approximately 100k packets per second, and the 1-second retry
timeout for most packets, we set
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: avoid overflows in dirty throttling logic
The dirty throttling logic is interspersed with assumptions that dirty
limits in PAGE_SIZE units fit into 32-bit (so that various multiplications
fit into 64-bits). If limits end up being larger, we will hit overflows,
possible divisions by 0 etc. Fix these problems by never allowing so
large dirty limits as they have dubious practical value anyway. For
dirty_bytes / dirty_background_bytes interfaces we can just refuse to set
so large limits. For dirty_ratio / dirty_background_ratio it isn't so
simple as the dirty limit is c
drm/lima: fix shared irq handling on driver remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/lima: fix shared irq handling on driver remove
lima uses a shared interrupt, so the interrupt handlers must be prepared
to be called at any time. At driver removal time, the clocks are
disabled early and the interrupts stay registered until the very end of
the remove process due to the devm usage.
This is potentially a bug as the interrupts access device registers
which assumes clocks are enabled. A crash can be triggered by removing
the driver in a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled.
This patch frees the interrupts at each lima device finishing callback
so that the
scsi: qedf: Make qedf_execute_tmf() non-preemptible
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qedf: Make qedf_execute_tmf() non-preemptible
Stop calling smp_processor_id() from preemptible code in
qedf_execute_tmf90. This results in BUG_ON() when running an RT kernel.

drm/amd/display: Skip finding free audio for unknown engine_id
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Skip finding free audio for unknown engine_id
[WHY]
ENGINE_ID_UNKNOWN = -1 and can not be used as an array index. Plus, it
also means it is uninitialized and does not need free audio.
[HOW]
Skip and return NULL.
This fixes 2 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.

inet_diag: Initialize pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet_diag: Initialize pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2
KMSAN reported uninit-value access in raw_lookup() [1]. Diag for raw
sockets uses the pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for the
underlying protocol. This field corresponds to the sdiag_raw_protocol
field in struct inet_diag_req_raw.
inet_diag_get_exact_compat() converts inet_diag_req to
inet_diag_req_v2, but leaves the pad field uninitialized. So the issue
occurs when raw_lookup() accesses the sdiag_raw_protocol field.
Fix this by initializing the pad field in
inet_diag_get_exact_compat(). Also, do the same fix
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix inode number range checks
Patch series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes".
This series fixes one use-after-free issue reported by syzbot, caused by
nilfs2's internal inode being exposed in the namespace on a corrupted
filesystem, and a couple of flaws that cause problems if the starting
number of non-reserved inodes written in the on-disk super block is
intentionally (or corruptly) changed from its default value.
This patch (of 3):
In the current implementation of nilfs2, "nilfs->ns_first_ino", which
gives the first non-reserved inod
nilfs2: add missing check for inode numbers on directory entries
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: add missing check for inode numbers on directory entries
Syzbot reported that mounting and unmounting a specific pattern of
corrupted nilfs2 filesystem images causes a use-after-free of metadata
file inodes, which triggers a kernel bug in lru_add_fn().
As Jan Kara pointed out, this is because the link count of a metadata file
gets corrupted to 0, and nilfs_evict_inode(), which is called from iput(),
tries to delete that inode (ifile inode in this case).
The inconsistency occurs because directories containing the inode numbers

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "mm/writeback: fix possible divide-by-zero in wb_dirty_limits(), again"
Patch series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling".
Dirty throttling logic assumes dirty limits in page units fit into
32-bits. This patch series makes sure this is true (see patch 2/2 for
more details).
This patch (of 2):
This reverts commit 9319b647902cbd5cc884ac08a8a6d54ce111fc78.
The commit is broken in several ways. Firstly, the removed (u64) cast
from the multiplication will introduce a multiplication overflow on 32-bit

drm/nouveau: fix null pointer dereference in nouveau_connector_get_modes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: fix null pointer dereference in nouveau_connector_get_modes
In nouveau_connector_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate()
is assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer
dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.

x86: stop playing stack games in profile_pc()
The 'profile_pc()' function is used for timer-based profiling, which
isn't really all that relevant any more to begin with, but it also ends
up making assumptions based on the stack layout that aren't necessarily
valid.
Basically, the code tries to account the time spent in spinlocks to the
caller rather than the spinlock, and while I support that as a concept,
it's not worth the code complexity or the KASAN warnings when no serious
profiling is done using timers anyway these days.
And the code really does depend on stack layo
net/iucv: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack
For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask
variable on stack is not recommended since it can cause potential stack
overflow.
Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate
cpumask var in config-neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.
Use *cpumask_var API(s) to address it.

gpio: davinci: Validate the obtained number of IRQs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: davinci: Validate the obtained number of IRQs
Value of pdata->gpio_unbanked is taken from Device Tree. In case of broken
DT due to any error this value can be any. Without this value validation
there can be out of chips->irqs array boundaries access in
davinci_gpio_probe().
Validate the obtained nirq value so that it won't exceed the maximum
number of IRQs per bank.

pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER
In create_pinctrl(), pinctrl_maps_mutex is acquired before calling
add_setting(). If add_setting() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, create_pinctrl()
calls pinctrl_free(). However, pinctrl_free() attempts to acquire
pinctrl_maps_mutex, which is already held by create_pinctrl(), leading to
a potential deadlock.
This patch resolves the issue by releasing pinctrl_maps_mutex before
calling pinctrl_free(), preventing the deadlock.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis

ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: set priv->pdev before using it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: set priv->pdev before using it
priv->pdev pointer was set after being used in
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init().
Move this assignment at the start of the probe function, so
sub-functions can correctly use pdev through priv.
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init() dereferences priv->pdev to get access to the
dev struct, used with dev_err macros.
As priv is zero-initialised, there would be a NULL pointer dereference.
Note that if priv->dev is dereferenced before assignment but never used,
for example if there is no error to be printed, the driver won't crash
probably due
drm/panel: ilitek-ili9881c: Fix warning with GPIO controllers that sleep
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panel: ilitek-ili9881c: Fix warning with GPIO controllers that sleep
The ilitek-ili9881c controls the reset GPIO using the non-sleeping
gpiod_set_value() function. This complains loudly when the GPIO
controller needs to sleep. As the caller can sleep, use
gpiod_set_value_cansleep() to fix the issue.
