usb: xhci: Check endpoint is valid before dereferencing it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Check endpoint is valid before dereferencing it
When the host controller is not responding, all URBs queued to all
endpoints need to be killed. This can cause a kernel panic if we
dereference an invalid endpoint.
Fix this by using xhci_get_virt_ep() helper to find the endpoint and
checking if the endpoint is valid before dereferencing it.

nilfs2: fix general protection fault in nilfs_btree_insert()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix general protection fault in nilfs_btree_insert()
If nilfs2 reads a corrupted disk image and tries to reads a b-tree node
block by calling __nilfs_btree_get_block() against an invalid virtual
block address, it returns -ENOENT because conversion of the virtual block
address to a disk block address fails. However, this return value is the
same as the internal code that b-tree lookup routines return to indicate
that the block being searched does not exist, so functions that operate on
that b-tree may misbehave.
When nilfs_btree_insert() receives this spurious 'not
Add exception protection processing for vd in axi_chan_handle_err function
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Add exception protection processing for vd in axi_chan_handle_err function
Since there is no protection for vd, a kernel panic will be
triggered here in exceptional cases.
You can refer to the processing of axi_chan_block_xfer_complete function
The triggered kernel panic is as follows:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: Fix null pointer dereference when host dies
Make sure xhci_free_dev() and xhci_kill_endpoint_urbs() do not race
and cause null pointer dereference when host suddenly dies.
Usb core may call xhci_free_dev() which frees the xhci->devs[slot_id]
virt device at the same time that xhci_kill_endpoint_urbs() tries to
loop through all the device's endpoints, checking if there are any
cancelled urbs left to give back.

btrfs: fix race between quota rescan and disable leading to NULL pointer deref
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix race between quota rescan and disable leading to NULL pointer deref
If we have one task trying to start the quota rescan worker while another
one is trying to disable quotas, we can end up hitting a race that results
in the quota rescan worker doing a NULL pointer dereference. The steps for
this are the following:
1) Quotas are enabled;
2) Task A calls the quota rescan ioctl and enters btrfs_qgroup_rescan().
It calls qgroup_rescan_init() which returns 0 (success) and then joins a
transaction and commits it;
3) Task B calls the quota disable ioctl and ent

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gsmi: fix null-deref in gsmi_get_variable
We can get EFI variables without fetching the attribute, so we must
allow for that in gsmi.
commit 859748255b43 ("efi: pstore: Omit efivars caching EFI varstore
access layer") added a new get_variable call with attr=NULL, which
triggers panic in gsmi.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: Fix GEM handle creation UAF
Userspace can guess the handle value and try to race GEM object creation
with handle close, resulting in a use-after-free if we dereference the
object after dropping the handle's reference. For that reason, dropping
the handle's reference must be done *after* we are done dereferencing
the object.
drm/msm/dp: do not complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx() if irq is not for aux transfer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dp: do not complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx() if irq is not for aux transfer
There are 3 possible interrupt sources are handled by DP controller,
HPDstatus, Controller state changes and Aux read/write transaction.
At every irq, DP controller have to check isr status of every interrupt
sources and service the interrupt if its isr status bits shows interrupts
are pending. There is potential race condition may happen at current aux
isr handler implementation since it is always complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx()
even irq is not for aux read or write transaction. This may cause au
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbe: fix pci device refcount leak
As the comment of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() says, it
returns a PCI device with refcount incremented, when finish
using it, the caller must decrement the reference count by
calling pci_dev_put().
In ixgbe_get_first_secondary_devfn() and ixgbe_x550em_a_has_mii(),
pci_dev_put() is called to avoid leak.
sched/core: Fix use-after-free bug in dup_user_cpus_ptr()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/core: Fix use-after-free bug in dup_user_cpus_ptr()
Since commit 07ec77a1d4e8 ("sched: Allow task CPU affinity to be
restricted on asymmetric systems"), the setting and clearing of
user_cpus_ptr are done under pi_lock for arm64 architecture. However,
dup_user_cpus_ptr() accesses user_cpus_ptr without any lock
protection. Since sched_setaffinity() can be invoked from another
process, the process being modified may be undergoing fork() at
the same time. When racing with the clearing of user_cpus_ptr in
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked(), it can lead to user-after-free and
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: da9211: Use irq handler when ready
If the system does not come from reset (like when it is kexec()), the
regulator might have an IRQ waiting for us.
If we enable the IRQ handler before its structures are ready, we crash.

platform/surface: aggregator: Add missing call to ssam_request_sync_free()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/surface: aggregator: Add missing call to ssam_request_sync_free()
Although rare, ssam_request_sync_init() can fail. In that case, the
request should be freed via ssam_request_sync_free(). Currently it is
leaked instead. Fix this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: fix NULL-deref in init error path
In cases where runtime services are not supported or have been disabled,
the runtime services workqueue will never have been allocated.
Do not try to destroy the workqueue unconditionally in the unlikely
event that EFI initialisation fails to avoid dereferencing a NULL
pointer.
Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix driver shutdown on closed serdev
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix driver shutdown on closed serdev
The driver shutdown callback (which sends EDL_SOC_RESET to the device
over serdev) should not be invoked when HCI device is not open (e.g. if
hci_dev_open_sync() failed), because the serdev and its TTY are not open
either. Also skip this step if device is powered off
(qca_power_shutdown()).
The shutdown callback causes use-after-free during system reboot with

misc: fastrpc: Don't remove map on creater_process and device_release
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Don't remove map on creater_process and device_release
Do not remove the map from the list on error path in
fastrpc_init_create_process, instead call fastrpc_map_put, to avoid
use-after-free. Do not remove it on fastrpc_device_release either,
call fastrpc_map_put instead.
The fastrpc_free_map is the only proper place to remove the map.
This is called only after the reference count is 0.
misc: fastrpc: Fix use-after-free race condition for maps
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Fix use-after-free race condition for maps
It is possible that in between calling fastrpc_map_get() until
map->fl->lock is taken in fastrpc_free_map(), another thread can call
fastrpc_map_lookup() and get a reference to a map that is about to be
deleted.
Rewrite fastrpc_map_get() to only increase the reference count of a map
if it's non-zero. Propagate this to callers so they can know if a map is
about to be deleted.

tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: fix slab-out-of-bounds on RX FIFO buffer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: fix slab-out-of-bounds on RX FIFO buffer
Driver's probe allocates memory for RX FIFO (port->rx_fifo) based on
default RX FIFO depth, e.g. 16. Later during serial startup the
qcom_geni_serial_port_setup() updates the RX FIFO depth
(port->rx_fifo_depth) to match real device capabilities, e.g. to 32.
The RX UART handle code will read "port->rx_fifo_depth" number of words
into "port->rx_fifo" buffer, thus exceeding the bounds. This can be
observed in certain configurations with Qualcomm Bluetooth HCI UART
device and KASAN:
