audit: fix possible soft lockup in __audit_inode_child()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix possible soft lockup in __audit_inode_child()
Tracefs or debugfs maybe cause hundreds to thousands of PATH records,
too many PATH records maybe cause soft lockup.
For example:
1. CONFIG_KASAN=y && CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n
2. auditctl -a exit,always -S open -k key
3. sysctl -w kernel.watchdog_thresh=5
4. mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test
There may be a soft lockup as follows:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#45 stuck for 7s! [mkdir:15498]
Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

spmi: Add a check for remove callback when removing a SPMI driver
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spmi: Add a check for remove callback when removing a SPMI driver
When removing a SPMI driver, there can be a crash due to NULL pointer
dereference if it does not have a remove callback defined. This is
one such call trace observed when removing the QCOM SPMI PMIC driver:

RDMA/siw: Fix immediate work request flush to completion queue
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Fix immediate work request flush to completion queue
Correctly set send queue element opcode during immediate work request
flushing in post sendqueue operation, if the QP is in ERROR state.
An undefined ocode value results in out-of-bounds access to an array
for mapping the opcode between siw internal and RDMA core representation
in work completion generation. It resulted in a KASAN BUG report
of type 'global-out-of-bounds' during NFSoRDMA testing.
This patch further fixes a potential case of a malicious user which may
write undefined values for completion queue
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: idmouse: fix an uninit-value in idmouse_open
In idmouse_create_image, if any ftip_command fails, it will
go to the reset label. However, this leads to the data in
bulk_in_buffer[HEADER..IMGSIZE] uninitialized. And the check
for valid image incurs an uninitialized dereference.
Fix this by moving the check before reset label since this
check only be valid if the data after bulk_in_buffer[HEADER]
has concrete data.
Note that this is found by KMSAN, so only kernel compilation
is tested.
staging: rtl8192u: Fix use after free in ieee80211_rx()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8192u: Fix use after free in ieee80211_rx()
We cannot dereference the "skb" pointer after calling
ieee80211_monitor_rx(), because it is a use after free.
crypto: akcipher - default implementation for setting a private key
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: akcipher - default implementation for setting a private key
Changes from v1:
* removed the default implementation from set_pub_key: it is assumed that
an implementation must always have this callback defined as there are
no use case for an algorithm, which doesn't need a public key
Many akcipher implementations (like ECDSA) support only signature
verifications, so they don't have all callbacks defined.
Commit 78a0324f4a53 ("crypto: akcipher - default implementations for
request callbacks") introduced default callbacks for sign/verify
operations, which ju
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/lcs: Fix return type of lcs_start_xmit()
With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which
reveals:

net/mlx5: Fix possible use-after-free in async command interface
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix possible use-after-free in async command interface
mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx should return only after all its callback
handlers were completed. Before this patch, the below race between
mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx and mlx5_cmd_exec_cb_handler was possible and
lead to a use-after-free:
1. mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx is called while num_inflight is 2 (i.e.
elevated by 1, a single inflight callback).
2. mlx5_cmd_cleanup_async_ctx decreases num_inflight to 1.
3. mlx5_cmd_exec_cb_handler is called, decreases num_inflight to 0 and
is about to call wake_up().

ALSA: line6: fix stack overflow in line6_midi_transmit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: line6: fix stack overflow in line6_midi_transmit
Correctly calculate available space including the size of the chunk

md/raid1: stop mdx_raid1 thread when raid1 array run failed
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1: stop mdx_raid1 thread when raid1 array run failed
fail run raid1 array when we assemble array with the inactive disk only,
but the mdx_raid1 thread were not stop, Even if the associated resources
have been released. it will caused a NULL dereference when we do poweroff.
This causes the following Oops:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: j1939: j1939_tp_tx_dat_new(): fix out-of-bounds memory access
In the j1939_tp_tx_dat_new() function, an out-of-bounds memory access
could occur during the memcpy() operation if the size of skb->cb is
larger than the size of struct j1939_sk_buff_cb. This is because the
memcpy() operation uses the size of skb->cb, leading to a read beyond
the struct j1939_sk_buff_cb.
Updated the memcpy() operation to use the size of struct
j1939_sk_buff_cb instead of the size of skb->cb. This ensures that the
memcpy() operation only reads the memory within the bounds of struct
j1939_sk_
btrfs: fix race when deleting quota root from the dirty cow roots list
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix race when deleting quota root from the dirty cow roots list
When disabling quotas we are deleting the quota root from the list
fs_info->dirty_cowonly_roots without taking the lock that protects it,
which is struct btrfs_fs_info::trans_lock. This unsynchronized list
manipulation may cause chaos if there's another concurrent manipulation
of this list, such as when adding a root to it with
ctree.c:add_root_to_dirty_list().
This can result in all sorts of weird failures caused by a race, such as
the following crash:

ext4: set goal start correctly in ext4_mb_normalize_request
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: set goal start correctly in ext4_mb_normalize_request
We need to set ac_g_ex to notify the goal start used in
ext4_mb_find_by_goal. Set ac_g_ex instead of ac_f_ex in
ext4_mb_normalize_request.
Besides we should assure goal start is in range [first_data_block,
blocks_count) as ext4_mb_initialize_context does.
[ Added a check to make sure size is less than ar->pright; otherwise
we could end up passing an underflowed value of ar->pright - size to
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(), which will trigger a BUG_ON later on.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/hdmi: Add missing check for alloc_ordered_workqueue
Add check for the return value of alloc_ordered_workqueue as it may return
NULL pointer and cause NULL pointer dereference in `hdmi_hdcp.c` and
`hdmi_hpd.c`.

powerpc/pseries: fix possible memory leak in ibmebus_bus_init()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: fix possible memory leak in ibmebus_bus_init()
If device_register() returns error in ibmebus_bus_init(), name of kobject
which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add() is leaked.
As comment of device_add() says, it should call put_device() to drop
the reference count that was set in device_initialize() when it fails,
so the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
net/mlx5: Devcom, fix error flow in mlx5_devcom_register_device
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Devcom, fix error flow in mlx5_devcom_register_device
In case devcom allocation is failed, mlx5 is always freeing the priv.
However, this priv might have been allocated by a different thread,
and freeing it might lead to use-after-free bugs.
Fix it by freeing the priv only in case it was allocated by the
running thread.
