In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: Clear selection before changing the font
When changing the console font with ioctl(KDFONTOP) the new font size
can be bigger than the previous font. A previous selection may thus now
be outside of the new screen size and thus trigger out-of-bounds
accesses to graphics memory if the selection is removed in
vc_do_resize().
Prevent such out-of-memory accesses by dropping the selection before the
various con_font_set() console handlers are called.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix array out of bounds access
The driver does not check if the cooling state passed to
gpio_fan_set_cur_state() exceeds the maximum cooling state as
stored in fan_data->num_speeds. Since the cooling state is later
used as an array index in set_fan_speed(), an array out of bounds
access can occur.
This can be exploited by setting the state of the thermal cooling device
to arbitrary values, causing for example a kernel oops when unavailable
memory is accessed this way.
Example kernel oops:
[ 807.987276] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual ad
wifi: mac80211: Don't finalize CSA in IBSS mode if state is disconnected
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Don't finalize CSA in IBSS mode if state is disconnected
When we are not connected to a channel, sending channel "switch"
announcement doesn't make any sense.
The BSS list is empty in that case. This causes the for loop in
cfg80211_get_bss() to be bypassed, so the function returns NULL
(check line 1424 of net/wireless/scan.c), causing the WARN_ON()
in ieee80211_ibss_csa_beacon() to get triggered (check line 500
of net/mac80211/ibss.c), which was consequently reported on the
syzkaller dashboard.
Thus, check if we have an existing connection before generatin
tty: n_gsm: add sanity check for gsm->receive in gsm_receive_buf()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: n_gsm: add sanity check for gsm->receive in gsm_receive_buf()
A null pointer dereference can happen when attempting to access the
"gsm->receive()" function in gsmld_receive_buf(). Currently, the code
assumes that gsm->recieve is only called after MUX activation.
Since the gsmld_receive_buf() function can be accessed without the need to
initialize the MUX, the gsm->receive() function will not be set and a
NULL pointer dereference will occur.
Fix this by avoiding the call to "gsm->receive()" in case the function is
not initialized by adding a sanity check.

wifi: mac80211: Fix UAF in ieee80211_scan_rx()
ieee80211_scan_rx() tries to access scan_req->flags after a
null check, but a UAF is observed when the scan is completed
and __ieee80211_scan_completed() executes, which then calls
cfg80211_scan_done() leading to the freeing of scan_req.
Since scan_req is rcu_dereference()'d, prevent the racing in
__ieee80211_scan_completed() by ensuring that from mac80211's
POV it is no longer accessed from an RCU read critical section
before we call cfg80211_scan_done().
crypto: algif_hash - fix double free in hash_accept
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: algif_hash - fix double free in hash_accept
If accept(2) is called on socket type algif_hash with
MSG_MORE flag set and crypto_ahash_import fails,
sk2 is freed. However, it is also freed in af_alg_release,
leading to slab-use-after-free error.
ALSA: pcm: Fix race of buffer access at PCM OSS layer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Fix race of buffer access at PCM OSS layer
The PCM OSS layer tries to clear the buffer with the silence data at
initialization (or reconfiguration) of a stream with the explicit call
of snd_pcm_format_set_silence() with runtime->dma_area. But this may
lead to a UAF because the accessed runtime->dma_area might be freed
concurrently, as it's performed outside the PCM ops.
For avoiding it, move the code into the PCM core and perform it inside
the buffer access lock, so that it won't be changed during the
operation.

crypto: lzo - Fix compression buffer overrun
Unlike the decompression code, the compression code in LZO never
checked for output overruns. It instead assumes that the caller
always provides enough buffer space, disregarding the buffer length
provided by the caller.
Add a safe compression interface that checks for the end of buffer
before each write. Use the safe interface in crypto/lzo.
dm cache: prevent BUG_ON by blocking retries on failed device resumes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: prevent BUG_ON by blocking retries on failed device resumes
A cache device failing to resume due to mapping errors should not be
retried, as the failure leaves a partially initialized policy object.
Repeating the resume operation risks triggering BUG_ON when reloading
cache mappings into the incomplete policy object.
Reproduce steps:
1. create a cache metadata consisting of 512 or more cache blocks,
with some mappings stored in the first array block of the mapping
array. Here we use cache_restore v1.0 to build the metadata.

virtio: break and reset virtio devices on device_shutdown()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio: break and reset virtio devices on device_shutdown()
Hongyu reported a hang on kexec in a VM. QEMU reported invalid memory
accesses during the hang.
Invalid read at addr 0x102877002, size 2, region '(null)', reason: rejected
Invalid write at addr 0x102877A44, size 2, region '(null)', reason: rejected
...
It was traced down to virtio-console. Kexec works fine if virtio-console
is not in use.
The issue is that virtio-console continues to write to the MMIO even after
underlying virtio-pci device is reset.
Additionally, Eric noticed that IOMMUs are reset before de

Honour the user given buffer size for the strn_len() calls (otherwise
strn_len() will access memory outside of the user given buffer).
__legitimize_mnt(): check for MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT should be under mount_lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
__legitimize_mnt(): check for MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT should be under mount_lock
... or we risk stealing final mntput from sync umount - raising mnt_count
after umount(2) has verified that victim is not busy, but before it
has set MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT; in that case __legitimize_mnt() doesn't see
that it's safe to quietly undo mnt_count increment and leaves dropping
the reference to caller, where it'll be a full-blown mntput().
Check under mount_lock is needed; leaving the current one done before
taking that makes no sense - it's nowhere near common enough to bother
with.
