media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap
vb2_dma_contig sets VMA flags VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP and I do not
see a reason why vb2_dma_sg should behave differently. This avoids
hitting `WARN_ON(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_DONTEXPAND));` in
drm_gem_mmap_obj() during mmap() of an imported dma-buf from the out of
tree Apple ISP camera capture driver which uses vb2_dma_sg_memops.

isofs: validate Rock Ridge CE continuation extent against volume size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: validate Rock Ridge CE continuation extent against volume size
rock_continue() reads rs->cont_extent verbatim from the Rock Ridge CE
record and passes it to sb_bread() without checking that the block
number is within the mounted ISO 9660 volume. commit e595447e177b
("[PATCH] rock.c: handle corrupted directories") added cont_offset
and cont_size rejection for the CE continuation but did not validate
the extent block number itself. commit f54e18f1b831 ("isofs: Fix
infinite looping over CE entries") later capped the CE chain length
at RR_MAX_CE_ENTRIES = 32 but again
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extran

hfsplus: fix held lock freed on hfsplus_fill_super()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfsplus: fix held lock freed on hfsplus_fill_super()
hfsplus_fill_super() calls hfs_find_init() to initialize a search
structure, which acquires tree->tree_lock. If the subsequent call to
hfsplus_cat_build_key() fails, the function jumps to the out_put_root
error label without releasing the lock. The later cleanup path then
frees the tree data structure with the lock still held, triggering a
held lock freed warning.
Fix this by adding the missing hfs_find_exit(&fd) call before jumping
to the out_put_root error label. This ensures that tree->tree_lock is
properly released o

dm: fix a buffer overflow in ioctl processing
Tony Asleson (using Claude) found a buffer overflow in dm-ioctl in the
function retrieve_status:
1. The code in retrieve_status checks that the output string fits into
the output buffer and writes the output string there
2. Then, the code aligns the "outptr" variable to the next 8-byte
boundary:
outptr = align_ptr(outptr);
3. The alignment doesn't check overflow, so outptr could point past the
buffer end
4. The "for" loop is iterated again, it executes:
remaining = len - (outptr - outbuf);
5. If "outptr" points past
crypto: caam - guard HMAC key hex dumps in hash_digest_key
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: caam - guard HMAC key hex dumps in hash_digest_key
Use print_hex_dump_devel() for dumping sensitive HMAC key bytes in
hash_digest_key() to avoid leaking secrets at runtime when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled.

ibmveth: Disable GSO for packets with small MSS
Some physical adapters on Power systems do not support segmentation
offload when the MSS is less than 224 bytes. Attempting to send such
packets causes the adapter to freeze, stopping all traffic until
manually reset.
Implement ndo_features_check to disable GSO for packets with small MSS
values. The network stack will perform software segmentation instead.
The 224-byte minimum matches ibmvnic
commit <f10b09ef687f> ("ibmvnic: Enforce stronger sanity checks
on GSO packets")
which uses the same physical adapters in SEA configur
power: supply: rt9455: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: rt9455: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has
nfc: hci: shdlc: Stop timers and work before freeing context
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: hci: shdlc: Stop timers and work before freeing context
llc_shdlc_deinit() purges SHDLC skb queues and frees the llc_shdlc
structure while its timers and state machine work may still be active.
Timer callbacks can schedule sm_work, and sm_work accesses SHDLC state
and the skb queues. If teardown happens in parallel with a queued/running
work item, it can lead to UAF and other shutdown races.
Stop all SHDLC timers and cancel sm_work synchronously before purging the
queues and freeing the context.

inet: RAW sockets using IPPROTO_RAW MUST drop incoming ICMP
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet: RAW sockets using IPPROTO_RAW MUST drop incoming ICMP
Yizhou Zhao reported that simply having one RAW socket on protocol
IPPROTO_RAW (255) was dangerous.
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 255);
A malicious incoming ICMP packet can set the protocol field to 255
and match this socket, leading to FNHE cache changes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
procfs: fix missing RCU protection when reading real_parent in do_task_stat()
When reading /proc/[pid]/stat, do_task_stat() accesses task->real_parent
without proper RCU protection, which leads to:

pstore/ram: fix buffer overflow in persistent_ram_save_old()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore/ram: fix buffer overflow in persistent_ram_save_old()
persistent_ram_save_old() can be called multiple times for the same
persistent_ram_zone (e.g., via ramoops_pstore_read -> ramoops_get_next_prz
for PSTORE_TYPE_DMESG records).
Currently, the function only allocates prz->old_log when it is NULL,
but it unconditionally updates prz->old_log_size to the current buffer
size and then performs memcpy_fromio() using this new size. If the
buffer size has grown since the first allocation (which can happen
across different kernel boot cycles), this leads to:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions
cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as
pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as
kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of
this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to
be supplied without CIFS origin.
Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private
spnego_cred to request the key.
spi: mpc52xx: fix use-after-free on registration failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: mpc52xx: fix use-after-free on registration failure
Make sure to disable and free the interrupts in case controller
registration fails to avoid a potential use-after-free and resource
leak.
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a controller
deregistration fix.
batman-adv: stop caching unowned originator pointers in BAT IV
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: stop caching unowned originator pointers in BAT IV
BAT IV keeps the last-hop neighbor address in each neigh_node, but some
paths also cache an originator pointer derived from a temporary lookup.
That pointer is not owned by the neigh_node and may no longer refer to a
live originator entry after purge handling runs.
Stop storing the auxiliary originator pointer in the BAT IV neighbor
state. When BAT IV needs the neighbor originator data, resolve it from
the stored neighbor address and drop the reference again after use.

media: saa7164: add ioremap return checks and cleanups
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: saa7164: add ioremap return checks and cleanups
Add checks for ioremap return values in saa7164_dev_setup(). If
ioremap for BAR0 or BAR2 fails, release the already allocated PCI
memory regions, remove the device from the global list, decrement
the device count, and return -ENODEV.
This prevents potential null pointer dereferences and ensures proper
cleanup on memory mapping failures.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: bla: only purge non-released claims
When batadv_bla_purge_claims() goes through the list of claims, it is only
traversing the hash list with an rcu_read_lock(). Due to a potential
parallel batadv_claim_put(), it can happen that it encounters a claim which
was actually in the process of being released+freed by
batadv_claim_release(). In this case, backbone_gw is set to NULL before the
delayed RCU kfree is started. Calling batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() is
then no longer allowed because it would cause a NULL-ptr derefence.
To avoid this, only claims with a va
