In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
speakup: Fix sizeof() vs ARRAY_SIZE() bug
The "buf" pointer is an array of u16 values. This code should be
using ARRAY_SIZE() (which is 256) instead of sizeof() (which is 512),
otherwise it can the still got out of bounds.
af_unix: Update unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb under sk_receive_queue lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Update unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb under sk_receive_queue lock.
Billy Jheng Bing-Jhong reported a race between __unix_gc() and
queue_oob().
__unix_gc() tries to garbage-collect close()d inflight sockets,
and then if the socket has MSG_OOB in unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb, GC
will drop the reference and set NULL to it locklessly.
However, the peer socket still can send MSG_OOB message and
queue_oob() can update unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb concurrently, leading
NULL pointer dereference. [0]
To fix the issue, let's update unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb under the
sk_receive_queue's lock and take it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Reapply "drm/qxl: simplify qxl_fence_wait"
This reverts commit 07ed11afb68d94eadd4ffc082b97c2331307c5ea.
Stephen Rostedt reports:
"I went to run my tests on my VMs and the tests hung on boot up.
Unfortunately, the most I ever got out was:

and further debugging points to a possible circular locking dependency
between the console_owner locking and
keys: Fix overwrite of key expiration on instantiation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
keys: Fix overwrite of key expiration on instantiation
The expiry time of a key is unconditionally overwritten during
instantiation, defaulting to turn it permanent. This causes a problem
for DNS resolution as the expiration set by user-space is overwritten to
TIME64_MAX, disabling further DNS updates. Fix this by restoring the
condition that key_set_expiry is only called when the pre-parser sets a
specific expiry.
xfrm/compat: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget in xfrm_xlate32_attr()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm/compat: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget in xfrm_xlate32_attr()
int type = nla_type(nla);
if (type > XFRMA_MAX) {
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
if (nla_len(nla) < compat_policy[type].len) {
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Fix potential NULL-ptr-dereference
in_dev_get() can return NULL which will cause a failure once idev is
dereferenced in in_dev_for_each_ifa_rtnl(). This patch adds a
check for NULL value in idev beforehand.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
powerpc/64s/interrupt: Fix interrupt exit race with security mitigation switch
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/64s/interrupt: Fix interrupt exit race with security mitigation switch
The RFI and STF security mitigation options can flip the
interrupt_exit_not_reentrant static branch condition concurrently with
the interrupt exit code which tests that branch.
Interrupt exit tests this condition to set MSR[EE|RI] for exit, then
again in the case a soft-masked interrupt is found pending, to recover
the MSR so the interrupt can be replayed before attempting to exit
again. If the condition changes between these two tests, the MSR and irq
soft-mask state will become corrupted, lead
Fix page corruption caused by racy check in __free_pages
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Fix page corruption caused by racy check in __free_pages
When we upgraded our kernel, we started seeing some page corruption like
the following consistently:

drm/amdgpu/fence: Fix oops due to non-matching drm_sched init/fini
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/fence: Fix oops due to non-matching drm_sched init/fini
Currently amdgpu calls drm_sched_fini() from the fence driver sw fini
routine - such function is expected to be called only after the
respective init function - drm_sched_init() - was executed successfully.
Happens that we faced a driver probe failure in the Steam Deck
recently, and the function drm_sched_fini() was called even without
its counter-part had been previously called, causing the following oops:
amdgpu: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -110
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
net: openvswitch: fix possible memory leak in ovs_meter_cmd_set()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: fix possible memory leak in ovs_meter_cmd_set()
old_meter needs to be free after it is detached regardless of whether
the new meter is successfully attached.
bpf: Protect against int overflow for stack access size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Protect against int overflow for stack access size
This patch re-introduces protection against the size of access to stack
memory being negative; the access size can appear negative as a result
of overflowing its signed int representation. This should not actually
happen, as there are other protections along the way, but we should
protect against it anyway. One code path was missing such protections
(fixed in the previous patch in the series), causing out-of-bounds array
accesses in check_stack_range_initialized(). This patch causes the
verification of a program with s
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rds: fix possible cp null dereference
cp might be null, calling cp->cp_conn would produce null dereference
[Simon Horman adds:]
Analysis:
* cp is a parameter of __rds_rdma_map and is not reassigned.
* The following call-sites pass a NULL cp argument to __rds_rdma_map()
- rds_get_mr()
- rds_get_mr_for_dest
* Prior to the code above, the following assumes that cp may be NULL
(which is indicative, but could itself be unnecessary)
trans_private = rs->rs_transport->get_mr(
sg, nents, rs, &mr->r_key, cp ? cp->cp_conn : NULL,

usb: gadget: ncm: Fix handling of zero block length packets
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: ncm: Fix handling of zero block length packets
While connecting to a Linux host with CDC_NCM_NTB_DEF_SIZE_TX
set to 65536, it has been observed that we receive short packets,
which come at interval of 5-10 seconds sometimes and have block
length zero but still contain 1-2 valid datagrams present.
According to the NCM spec:
"If wBlockLength = 0x0000, the block is terminated by a
short packet. In this case, the USB transfer must still
be shorter than dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize. If
exactly dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize bytes are sent,
and the size is
fs/aio: Check IOCB_AIO_RW before the struct aio_kiocb conversion
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/aio: Check IOCB_AIO_RW before the struct aio_kiocb conversion
The first kiocb_set_cancel_fn() argument may point at a struct kiocb
that is not embedded inside struct aio_kiocb. With the current code,
depending on the compiler, the req->ki_ctx read happens either before
the IOCB_AIO_RW test or after that test. Move the req->ki_ctx read such
that it is guaranteed that the IOCB_AIO_RW test happens first.
