In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/histograms: Fix memory leak problem
This reverts commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac.
As commit 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") said, the
"double free" problem reported by clang static analyzer is:
> In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating
> var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed.
> This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees
> the rest of the list.
However, if there is a problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr:
+ in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is
actually the N-th var_def
cgroup: Use separate src/dst nodes when preloading css_sets for migration
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup: Use separate src/dst nodes when preloading css_sets for migration
Each cset (css_set) is pinned by its tasks. When we're moving tasks around
across csets for a migration, we need to hold the source and destination
csets to ensure that they don't go away while we're moving tasks about. This
is done by linking cset->mg_preload_node on either the
mgctx->preloaded_src_csets or mgctx->preloaded_dst_csets list. Using the
same cset->mg_preload_node for both the src and dst lists was deemed okay as
a cset can't be both the source and destination at the same time.

wifi: mac80211: fix queue selection for mesh/OCB interfaces
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix queue selection for mesh/OCB interfaces
When using iTXQ, the code assumes that there is only one vif queue for
broadcast packets, using the BE queue. Allowing non-BE queue marking
violates that assumption and txq->ac == skb_queue_mapping is no longer
guaranteed. This can cause issues with queue handling in the driver and
also causes issues with the recent ATF change, resulting in an AQL
underflow warning.
drm/panfrost: Fix shrinker list corruption by madvise IOCTL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panfrost: Fix shrinker list corruption by madvise IOCTL
Calling madvise IOCTL twice on BO causes memory shrinker list corruption
and crashes kernel because BO is already on the list and it's added to
the list again, while BO should be removed from the list before it's
re-added. Fix it.
drm/i915: fix a possible refcount leak in intel_dp_add_mst_connector()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: fix a possible refcount leak in intel_dp_add_mst_connector()
If drm_connector_init fails, intel_connector_free will be called to take
care of proper free. So it is necessary to drop the refcount of port
before intel_connector_free.

ima: Fix a potential integer overflow in ima_appraise_measurement
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: Fix a potential integer overflow in ima_appraise_measurement
When the ima-modsig is enabled, the rc passed to evm_verifyxattr() may be
negative, which may cause the integer overflow problem.
net: stmmac: dwc-qos: Disable split header for Tegra194
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: dwc-qos: Disable split header for Tegra194
There is a long-standing issue with the Synopsys DWC Ethernet driver
for Tegra194 where random system crashes have been observed [0]. The
problem occurs when the split header feature is enabled in the stmmac
driver. In the bad case, a larger than expected buffer length is
received and causes the calculation of the total buffer length to
overflow. This results in a very large buffer length that causes the
kernel to crash. Why this larger buffer length is received is not clear,
however, the feedback from the NVIDIA desig
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cipso: Fix data-races around sysctl.
While reading cipso sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently.
So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid data-races.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
icmp: Fix data-races around sysctl.
While reading icmp sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently.
So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid data-races.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: Fix a data-race around sysctl_fib_sync_mem.
While reading sysctl_fib_sync_mem, it can be changed concurrently.
So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid a data-race.
raw: Fix a data-race around sysctl_raw_l3mdev_accept.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
raw: Fix a data-race around sysctl_raw_l3mdev_accept.
While reading sysctl_raw_l3mdev_accept, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: fix use after free when disabling sriov
Use after free is detected by kfence when disabling sriov. What was read
after being freed was vf->pci_dev: it was freed from pci_disable_sriov
and later read in efx_ef10_sriov_free_vf_vports, called from
efx_ef10_sriov_free_vf_vswitching.
Set the pointer to NULL at release time to not trying to read it later.
Reproducer and dmesg log (note that kfence doesn't detect it every time):
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/enp65s0f0np0/device/sriov_numvfs
$ echo 0 > /sys/class/net/enp65s0f0np0/device/sriov_numvfs
BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: fix kernel panic when creating VF
When creating VFs a kernel panic can happen when calling to
efx_ef10_try_update_nic_stats_vf.
When releasing a DMA coherent buffer, sometimes, I don't know in what
specific circumstances, it has to unmap memory with vunmap. It is
disallowed to do that in IRQ context or with BH disabled. Otherwise, we
hit this line in vunmap, causing the crash:
BUG_ON(in_interrupt());
This patch reenables BH to release the buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: pmac32-cpufreq: Fix refcount leak bug
In pmac_cpufreq_init_MacRISC3(), we need to add corresponding
of_node_put() for the three node pointers whose refcount have
been incremented by of_find_node_by_name().
net: tipc: fix possible refcount leak in tipc_sk_create()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tipc: fix possible refcount leak in tipc_sk_create()
Free sk in case tipc_sk_insert() fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfp: fix memory leak in sfp_probe()
sfp_probe() allocates a memory chunk from sfp with sfp_alloc(). When
devm_add_action() fails, sfp is not freed, which leads to a memory leak.
We should use devm_add_action_or_reset() instead of devm_add_action().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/speculation: Fill RSB on vmexit for IBRS
Prevent RSB underflow/poisoning attacks with RSB. While at it, add a
bunch of comments to attempt to document the current state of tribal
knowledge about RSB attacks and what exactly is being mitigated.
power/reset: arm-versatile: Fix refcount leak in versatile_reboot_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power/reset: arm-versatile: Fix refcount leak in versatile_reboot_probe
of_find_matching_node_and_match() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
pinctrl: ralink: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: ralink: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc
Because of the possible failure of the allocation, data->domains might
be NULL pointer and will cause the dereference of the NULL pointer
later.
Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM
without releasing data manually if fails, because the comment of the
devm_kmalloc() says "Memory allocated with this function is
automatically freed on driver detach.".
perf/core: Fix data race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
