ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix use after free vulnerability in switchtec_ntb_remove due to race condition
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix use after free vulnerability in switchtec_ntb_remove due to race condition
In the switchtec_ntb_add function, it can call switchtec_ntb_init_sndev
function, then &sndev->check_link_status_work is bound with
check_link_status_work. switchtec_ntb_link_notification may be called
to start the work.
If we remove the module which will call switchtec_ntb_remove to make
cleanup, it will free sndev through kfree(sndev), while the work
mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead
to a UAF bug is as follows:

serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too
Commit af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part
3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so
the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that
protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);"
call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the
reason why we do not see lots of these reports.
Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P.
Until the above is investigated, stay on the safe side an
drm/amd/display: Check null pointer before dereferencing se
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointer before dereferencing se
[WHAT & HOW]
se is null checked previously in the same function, indicating
it might be null; therefore, it must be checked when used again.
This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.
NFSv4: Prevent NULL-pointer dereference in nfs42_complete_copies()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Prevent NULL-pointer dereference in nfs42_complete_copies()
On the node of an NFS client, some files saved in the mountpoint of the
NFS server were copied to another location of the same NFS server.
Accidentally, the nfs42_complete_copies() got a NULL-pointer dereference
crash with the following syslog:

netfilter: br_netfilter: fix panic with metadata_dst skb
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: br_netfilter: fix panic with metadata_dst skb
Fix a kernel panic in the br_netfilter module when sending untagged
traffic via a VxLAN device.
This happens during the check for fragmentation in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit.
It is dependent on:
1) the br_netfilter module being loaded;
2) net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables set to 1;
3) a bridge with a VxLAN (single-vxlan-device) netdevice as a bridge port;
4) untagged frames with size higher than the VxLAN MTU forwarded/flooded
When forwarding the untagged packet to the VxLAN bridge port, before
the netfilter hooks are ca
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: FIX possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change

i40e: Fix macvlan leak by synchronizing access to mac_filter_hash
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix macvlan leak by synchronizing access to mac_filter_hash
This patch addresses a macvlan leak issue in the i40e driver caused by
concurrent access to vsi->mac_filter_hash. The leak occurs when multiple
threads attempt to modify the mac_filter_hash simultaneously, leading to
inconsistent state and potential memory leaks.
To fix this, we now wrap the calls to i40e_del_mac_filter() and zeroing
vf->default_lan_addr.addr with spin_lock/unlock_bh(&vsi->mac_filter_hash_lock),
ensuring atomic operations and preventing concurrent access.
Additionally, we add lockdep_assert
igb: Do not bring the device up after non-fatal error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: Do not bring the device up after non-fatal error
Commit 004d25060c78 ("igb: Fix igb_down hung on surprise removal")
changed igb_io_error_detected() to ignore non-fatal pcie errors in order
to avoid hung task that can happen when igb_down() is called multiple
times. This caused an issue when processing transient non-fatal errors.
igb_io_resume(), which is called after igb_io_error_detected(), assumes
that device is brought down by igb_io_error_detected() if the interface
is up. This resulted in panic with stacktrace below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: accept TCA_STAB only for root qdisc
Most qdiscs maintain their backlog using qdisc_pkt_len(skb)
on the assumption it is invariant between the enqueue()
and dequeue() handlers.
Unfortunately syzbot can crash a host rather easily using
a TBF + SFQ combination, with an STAB on SFQ [1]
We can't support TCA_STAB on arbitrary level, this would
require to maintain per-qdisc storage.

netfilter: xtables: avoid NFPROTO_UNSPEC where needed
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xtables: avoid NFPROTO_UNSPEC where needed
syzbot managed to call xt_cluster match via ebtables:

Module registers to NFPROTO_UNSPEC, but it assumes ipv4/ipv6 packet
processing. As this is only useful to restrict locally terminating
TCP/UDP traffic, register this for ipv4 and ipv6 family only.
Pablo points out that this is a general issue, direct users of the
set/getsockopt interface can call into targets/matches that were only
intended for use
net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()
dst_entries_add() uses per-cpu data that might be freed at netns
dismantle from ip6_route_net_exit() calling dst_entries_destroy()
Before ip6_route_net_exit() can be called, we release all
the dsts associated with this netns, via calls to dst_release(),
which waits an rcu grace period before calling dst_destroy()
dst_entries_add() use in dst_destroy() is racy, because
dst_entries_destroy() could have been called already.
Decrementing the number of dsts must happen sooner.
Notes:
1) in CONFIG_XFRM case, dst_destroy()

slip: make slhc_remember() more robust against malicious packets
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
slip: make slhc_remember() more robust against malicious packets
syzbot found that slhc_remember() was missing checks against
malicious packets [1].
slhc_remember() only checked the size of the packet was at least 20,
which is not good enough.
We need to make sure the packet includes the IPv4 and TCP header
that are supposed to be carried.
Add iph and th pointers to make the code more readable.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kthread: unpark only parked kthread
Calling into kthread unparking unconditionally is mostly harmless when
the kthread is already unparked. The wake up is then simply ignored
because the target is not in TASK_PARKED state.
However if the kthread is per CPU, the wake up is preceded by a call
to kthread_bind() which expects the task to be inactive and in
TASK_PARKED state, which obviously isn't the case if it is unparked.
As a result, calling kthread_stop() on an unparked per-cpu kthread
triggers such a warning:

ext4: dax: fix overflowing extents beyond inode size when partially writing
The dax_iomap_rw() does two things in each iteration: map written blocks
and copy user data to blocks. If the process is killed by user(See signal
handling in dax_iomap_iter()), the copied data will be returned and added
on inode size, which means that the length of written extents may exceed
the inode size, then fsck will fail. An example is given as:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=file bs=4M count=1

exec: don't WARN for racy path_noexec check
Both i_mode and noexec checks wrapped in WARN_ON stem from an artifact
of the previous implementation. They used to legitimately check for the
condition, but that got moved up in two commits:
633fb6ac3980 ("exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier")
0fd338b2d2cd ("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier")
Instead of being removed said checks are WARN_ON'ed instead, which
has some debug value.
However, the spurious path_noexec check is racy, resulting in
unwarranted warnings should someone race with setting the noexec flag.
