net/mlx4_en: Fix an use-after-free bug in mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx4_en: Fix an use-after-free bug in mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources()
In mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources(), mlx4_en_copy_priv() is called and
tmp->tx_cq will be freed on the error path of mlx4_en_copy_priv().
After that mlx4_en_alloc_resources() is called and there is a dereference
of &tmp->tx_cq[t][i] in mlx4_en_alloc_resources(), which could lead to
a use after free problem on failure of mlx4_en_copy_priv().
Fix this bug by adding a check of mlx4_en_copy_priv()
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
differential checking to identify inconsistent sec
serial: core: fix transmit-buffer reset and memleak
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: core: fix transmit-buffer reset and memleak
Commit 761ed4a94582 ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use
tty_port_close") converted serial core to use tty_port_close() but
failed to notice that the transmit buffer still needs to be freed on
final close.
Not freeing the transmit buffer means that the buffer is no longer
cleared on next open so that any ioctl() waiting for the buffer to drain
might wait indefinitely (e.g. on termios changes) or that stale data can
end up being transmitted in case tx is restarted.
Furthermore, the buffer of any port that has bee
can: sja1000: fix use after free in ems_pcmcia_add_card()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: sja1000: fix use after free in ems_pcmcia_add_card()
If the last channel is not available then "dev" is freed. Fortunately,
we can just use "pdev->irq" instead.
Also we should check if at least one channel was set up.
can: pch_can: pch_can_rx_normal: fix use after free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: pch_can: pch_can_rx_normal: fix use after free
After calling netif_receive_skb(skb), dereferencing skb is unsafe.
Especially, the can_frame cf which aliases skb memory is dereferenced
just after the call netif_receive_skb(skb).
Reordering the lines solves the issue.
nfc: fix potential NULL pointer deref in nfc_genl_dump_ses_done
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: fix potential NULL pointer deref in nfc_genl_dump_ses_done
The done() netlink callback nfc_genl_dump_ses_done() should check if
received argument is non-NULL, because its allocation could fail earlier
in dumpit() (nfc_genl_dump_ses()).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfp: Fix memory leak in nfp_cpp_area_cache_add()
In line 800 (#1), nfp_cpp_area_alloc() allocates and initializes a
CPP area structure. But in line 807 (#2), when the cache is allocated
failed, this CPP area structure is not freed, which will result in
memory leak.
We can fix it by freeing the CPP area when the cache is allocated
failed (#2).
792 int nfp_cpp_area_cache_add(struct nfp_cpp *cpp, size_t size)
793 {
794 struct nfp_cpp_area_cache *cache;
795 struct nfp_cpp_area *area;
800 area = nfp_cpp_area_alloc(cpp, NFP_CPP_ID(7, NFP_CPP_ACTION_RW, 0),
801 0, size)
seg6: fix the iif in the IPv6 socket control block
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seg6: fix the iif in the IPv6 socket control block
When an IPv4 packet is received, the ip_rcv_core(...) sets the receiving
interface index into the IPv4 socket control block (v5.16-rc4,
net/ipv4/ip_input.c line 510):
IPCB(skb)->iif = skb->skb_iif;
If that IPv4 packet is meant to be encapsulated in an outer IPv6+SRH
header, the seg6_do_srh_encap(...) performs the required encapsulation.
In this case, the seg6_do_srh_encap function clears the IPv6 socket control
block (v5.16-rc4 net/ipv6/seg6_iptunnel.c line 163):
memset(IP6CB(skb), 0, sizeof(*IP6CB(skb)));

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix negative period/buffer sizes
The period size calculation in OSS layer may receive a negative value
as an error, but the code there assumes only the positive values and
handle them with size_t. Due to that, a too big value may be passed
to the lower layers.
This patch changes the code to handle with ssize_t and adds the proper
error checks appropriately.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Limit the period size to 16MB
Set the practical limit to the period size (the fragment shift in OSS)
instead of a full 31bit; a too large value could lead to the exhaust
of memory as we allocate temporary buffers of the period size, too.
As of this patch, we set to 16MB limit, which should cover all use
cases.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix use-after-free due to delegation race
A delegation break could arrive as soon as we've called vfs_setlease. A
delegation break runs a callback which immediately (in
nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare) adds the delegation to del_recall_lru. If we
then exit nfs4_set_delegation without hashing the delegation, it will be
freed as soon as the callback is done with it, without ever being
removed from del_recall_lru.
Symptoms show up later as use-after-free or list corruption warnings,
usually in the laundromat thread.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: mma8452: Fix trigger reference couting
The mma8452 driver directly assigns a trigger to the struct iio_dev. The
IIO core when done using this trigger will call `iio_trigger_put()` to drop
the reference count by 1.
Without the matching `iio_trigger_get()` in the driver the reference count
can reach 0 too early, the trigger gets freed while still in use and a
use-after-free occurs.
Fix this by getting a reference to the trigger before assigning it to the
IIO device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: kxcjk-1013: Fix possible memory leak in probe and remove
When ACPI type is ACPI_SMO8500, the data->dready_trig will not be set, the

nvmem: Fix shift-out-of-bound (UBSAN) with byte size cells
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmem: Fix shift-out-of-bound (UBSAN) with byte size cells
If a cell has 'nbits' equal to a multiple of BITS_PER_BYTE the logic
*p &= GENMASK((cell->nbits%BITS_PER_BYTE) - 1, 0);
will become undefined behavior because nbits modulo BITS_PER_BYTE is 0, and we
subtract one from that making a large number that is then shifted more than the
number of bits that fit into an unsigned long.
UBSAN reports this problem:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/qib: Protect from buffer overflow in struct qib_user_sdma_pkt fields
Overflowing either addrlimit or bytes_togo can allow userspace to trigger

regmap: Fix possible double-free in regcache_rbtree_exit()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In regcache_rbtree_insert_to_block(), when 'present' realloc failed,
the 'blk' which is supposed to assign to 'rbnode->block' will be freed,
so 'rbnode->block' points a freed memory, in the error handling path of
regcache_rbtree_init(), 'rbnode->block' will be freed again in

net: batman-adv: fix error handling
Syzbot reported ODEBUG warning in batadv_nc_mesh_free(). The problem was
in wrong error handling in batadv_mesh_init().
Before this patch batadv_mesh_init() was calling batadv_mesh_free() in case
of any batadv_*_init() calls failure. This approach may work well, when
there is some kind of indicator, which can tell which parts of batadv are
initialized; but there isn't any.
All written above lead to cleaning up uninitialized fields. Even if we hide
ODEBUG warning by initializing bat_priv->nc.work, syzbot was able to hit
GPF in batadv_nc_
scsi: core: Put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released
SCSI host release is triggered when SCSI device is freed. We have to make
sure that the low-level device driver module won't be unloaded before SCSI
host instance is released because shost->hostt is required in the release
handler.
Make sure to put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released.

comedi: dt9812: fix DMA buffers on stack
USB transfer buffers are typically mapped for DMA and must not be
allocated on the stack or transfers will fail.
Allocate proper transfer buffers in the various command helpers and
return an error on short transfers instead of acting on random stack
data.
Note that this also fixes a stack info leak on systems where DMA is not
used as 32 bytes are always sent to the device regardless of how short
the command is.
