resource: fix region_intersects() vs add_memory_driver_managed()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
resource: fix region_intersects() vs add_memory_driver_managed()
On a system with CXL memory, the resource tree (/proc/iomem) related to
CXL memory may look like something as follows.
490000000-50fffffff : CXL Window 0
490000000-50fffffff : region0
490000000-50fffffff : dax0.0
490000000-50fffffff : System RAM (kmem)
Because drivers/dax/kmem.c calls add_memory_driver_managed() during
onlining CXL memory, which makes "System RAM (kmem)" a descendant of "CXL
Window X". This confuses region_intersects(), which expects all "System
RAM" resources to be at the top l

Input: adp5589-keys - fix NULL pointer dereference
We register a devm action to call adp5589_clear_config() and then pass
the i2c client as argument so that we can call i2c_get_clientdata() in
order to get our device object. However, i2c_set_clientdata() is only
being set at the end of the probe function which means that we'll get a
NULL pointer dereference in case the probe function fails early.

btrfs: wait for fixup workers before stopping cleaner kthread during umount
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: wait for fixup workers before stopping cleaner kthread during umount
During unmount, at close_ctree(), we have the following steps in this order:
1) Park the cleaner kthread - this doesn't destroy the kthread, it basically
halts its execution (wake ups against it work but do nothing);
2) We stop the cleaner kthread - this results in freeing the respective
struct task_struct;
3) We call btrfs_stop_all_workers() which waits for any jobs running in all
the work queues and then free the work queues.
Syzbot reported a case where a fixup worker resulted in a c

vhost/scsi: null-ptr-dereference in vhost_scsi_get_req()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/scsi: null-ptr-dereference in vhost_scsi_get_req()
Since commit 3f8ca2e115e5 ("vhost/scsi: Extract common handling code
from control queue handler") a null pointer dereference bug can be
triggered when guest sends an SCSI AN request.
In vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_vq(), `vc.target` is assigned with
`&v_req.tmf.lun[1]` within a switch-case block and is then passed to
vhost_scsi_get_req() which extracts `vc->req` and `tpg`. However, for
a `VIRTIO_SCSI_T_AN_*` request, tpg is not required, so `vc.target` is
set to NULL in this branch. Later, in vhost_scsi_get_req(),

efistub/tpm: Use ACPI reclaim memory for event log to avoid corruption
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efistub/tpm: Use ACPI reclaim memory for event log to avoid corruption
The TPM event log table is a Linux specific construct, where the data
produced by the GetEventLog() boot service is cached in memory, and
passed on to the OS using an EFI configuration table.
The use of EFI_LOADER_DATA here results in the region being left
unreserved in the E820 memory map constructed by the EFI stub, and this
is the memory description that is passed on to the incoming kernel by
kexec, which is therefore unaware that the region should be reserved.
Even though the utility of the TPM2 ev
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/sgx: Fix deadlock in SGX NUMA node search
When the current node doesn't have an EPC section configured by firmware
and all other EPC sections are used up, CPU can get stuck inside the
while loop that looks for an available EPC page from remote nodes
indefinitely, leading to a soft lockup. Note how nid_of_current will
never be equal to nid in that while loop because nid_of_current is not
set in sgx_numa_mask.
Also worth mentioning is that it's perfectly fine for the firmware not
to setup an EPC section on a node. While setting up an EPC section on
each node can enhance
scsi: elx: libefc: Fix potential use after free in efc_nport_vport_del()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: elx: libefc: Fix potential use after free in efc_nport_vport_del()
The kref_put() function will call nport->release if the refcount drops to
zero. The nport->release release function is _efc_nport_free() which frees
"nport". But then we dereference "nport" on the next line which is a use
after free. Re-order these lines to avoid the use after free.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: Clean up TPM space after command failure
tpm_dev_transmit prepares the TPM space before attempting command
transmission. However if the command fails no rollback of this
preparation is done. This can result in transient handles being leaked
if the device is subsequently closed with no further commands performed.
Fix this by flushing the space in the event of command transmission
failure.
nilfs2: fix potential oob read in nilfs_btree_check_delete()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential oob read in nilfs_btree_check_delete()
The function nilfs_btree_check_delete(), which checks whether degeneration
to direct mapping occurs before deleting a b-tree entry, causes memory
access outside the block buffer when retrieving the maximum key if the
root node has no entries.
This does not usually happen because b-tree mappings with 0 child nodes
are never created by mkfs.nilfs2 or nilfs2 itself. However, it can happen
if the b-tree root node read from a device is configured that way, so fix
this potential issue by adding a check for that case.
PCI: keystone: Fix if-statement expression in ks_pcie_quirk()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: keystone: Fix if-statement expression in ks_pcie_quirk()
This code accidentally uses && where || was intended. It potentially
results in a NULL dereference.
Thus, fix the if-statement expression to use the correct condition.

RDMA/cxgb4: Added NULL check for lookup_atid
The lookup_atid() function can return NULL if the ATID is
invalid or does not exist in the identifier table, which
could lead to dereferencing a null pointer without a
check in the `act_establish()` and `act_open_rpl()` functions.
Add a NULL check to prevent null pointer dereferencing.

vhost_vdpa: assign irq bypass producer token correctly
We used to call irq_bypass_unregister_producer() in
vhost_vdpa_setup_vq_irq() which is problematic as we don't know if the
token pointer is still valid or not.
Actually, we use the eventfd_ctx as the token so the life cycle of the
token should be bound to the VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL instead of
vhost_vdpa_setup_vq_irq() which could be called by set_status().
Fixing this by setting up irq bypass producer's token when handling
VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL and un-registering the producer before calling
vhost_vring_ioctl() to prevent
net: seeq: Fix use after free vulnerability in ether3 Driver Due to Race Condition
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: seeq: Fix use after free vulnerability in ether3 Driver Due to Race Condition
In the ether3_probe function, a timer is initialized with a callback
function ether3_ledoff, bound to &prev(dev)->timer. Once the timer is
started, there is a risk of a race condition if the module or device
is removed, triggering the ether3_remove function to perform cleanup.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:

firmware_loader: Block path traversal
Most firmware names are hardcoded strings, or are constructed from fairly
constrained format strings where the dynamic parts are just some hex
numbers or such.
However, there are a couple codepaths in the kernel where firmware file
names contain string components that are passed through from a device or
semi-privileged userspace; the ones I could find (not counting interfaces
that require root privileges) are:
