caif_virtio: fix wrong pointer check in cfv_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
caif_virtio: fix wrong pointer check in cfv_probe()
del_vqs() frees virtqueues, therefore cfv->vq_tx pointer should be checked
for NULL before calling it, not cfv->vdev. Also the current implementation
is redundant because the pointer cfv->vdev is dereferenced before it is
checked for NULL.
Fix this by checking cfv->vq_tx for NULL instead of cfv->vdev before
calling del_vqs().
ftrace: Avoid potential division by zero in function_stat_show()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Avoid potential division by zero in function_stat_show()
Check whether denominator expression x * (x - 1) * 1000 mod {2^32, 2^64}
produce zero and skip stddev computation in that case.
For now don't care about rec->counter * rec->counter overflow because
rec->time * rec->time overflow will likely happen earlier.
netfilter: ipset: Fix overflow before widen in the bitmap_ip_create() function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: Fix overflow before widen in the bitmap_ip_create() function.
When first_ip is 0, last_ip is 0xFFFFFFFF, and netmask is 31, the value of
an arithmetic expression 2 << (netmask - mask_bits - 1) is subject
to overflow due to a failure casting operands to a larger data type
before performing the arithmetic.
Note that it's harmless since the value will be checked at the next step.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: Fix ib block iterator counter overflow
When registering a new DMA MR after selecting the best aligned page size
for it, we iterate over the given sglist to split each entry to smaller,
aligned to the selected page size, DMA blocks.
In given circumstances where the sg entry and page size fit certain
sizes and the sg entry is not aligned to the selected page size, the
total size of the aligned pages we need to cover the sg entry is >= 4GB.
Under this circumstances, while iterating page aligned blocks, the
counter responsible for counting how much we advanced from
bpf: Fix pointer-leak due to insufficient speculative store bypass mitigation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix pointer-leak due to insufficient speculative store bypass mitigation
To mitigate Spectre v4, 2039f26f3aca ("bpf: Fix leakage due to
insufficient speculative store bypass mitigation") inserts lfence
instructions after 1) initializing a stack slot and 2) spilling a
pointer to the stack.
However, this does not cover cases where a stack slot is first
initialized with a pointer (subject to sanitization) but then
overwritten with a scalar (not subject to sanitization because
the slot was already initialized). In this case, the second write
may be subject to speculative
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: nfc: Fix use-after-free in local_cleanup()
Fix a use-after-free that occurs in kfree_skb() called from
local_cleanup(). This could happen when killing nfc daemon (e.g. neard)
after detaching an nfc device.
When detaching an nfc device, local_cleanup() called from
nfc_llcp_unregister_device() frees local->rx_pending and decreases
local->ref by kref_put() in nfc_llcp_local_put().
In the terminating process, nfc daemon releases all sockets and it leads
to decreasing local->ref. After the last release of local->ref,
local_cleanup() called from local_release() frees local->
net/sched: sch_taprio: fix possible use-after-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_taprio: fix possible use-after-free
syzbot reported a nasty crash [1] in net_tx_action() which
made little sense until we got a repro.
This repro installs a taprio qdisc, but providing an
invalid TCA_RATE attribute.
qdisc_create() has to destroy the just initialized
taprio qdisc, and taprio_destroy() is called.
However, the hrtimer used by taprio had already fired,
therefore advance_sched() called __netif_schedule().
Then net_tx_action was trying to use a destroyed qdisc.
We can not undo the __netif_schedule(), so we must wait
until one cpu serviced the
net: mdio: validate parameter addr in mdiobus_get_phy()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mdio: validate parameter addr in mdiobus_get_phy()
The caller may pass any value as addr, what may result in an out-of-bounds
access to array mdio_map. One existing case is stmmac_init_phy() that
may pass -1 as addr. Therefore validate addr before using it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: betop: check shape of output reports
betopff_init() only checks the total sum of the report counts for each
report field to be at least 4, but hid_betopff_play() expects 4 report
fields.
A device advertising an output report with one field and 4 report counts
would pass the check but crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference
in hid_betopff_play().
tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be used
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be used
Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is
called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and
"ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will
be:
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6
This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered
yet. That gets done via
cifs: Fix oops due to uncleared server->smbd_conn in reconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix oops due to uncleared server->smbd_conn in reconnect
In smbd_destroy(), clear the server->smbd_conn pointer after freeing the
smbd_connection struct that it points to so that reconnection doesn't get
confused.
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

EDAC/qcom: Do not pass llcc_driv_data as edac_device_ctl_info's pvt_info
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/qcom: Do not pass llcc_driv_data as edac_device_ctl_info's pvt_info
The memory for llcc_driv_data is allocated by the LLCC driver. But when
it is passed as the private driver info to the EDAC core, it will get freed
during the qcom_edac driver release. So when the qcom_edac driver gets probed
again, it will try to use the freed data leading to the use-after-free bug.
Hence, do not pass llcc_driv_data as pvt_info but rather reference it
using the platform_data pointer in the qcom_edac driver.

netlink: prevent potential spectre v1 gadgets
Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from
__nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla()
u16 type = nla_type(nla);
if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) {
/* error or continue */
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses,
but an audit is needed to take care of others where
validation is not yet centralized in core net

If net_assign_generic() fails, the current error path in ops_init() tries
to clear the gen pointer slot. Anyway, in such error path, the gen pointer
itself has not been modified yet, and the existing and accessed one is
smaller than the accessed index, causing an out-of-bounds error:

x86/i8259: Mark legacy PIC interrupts with IRQ_LEVEL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/i8259: Mark legacy PIC interrupts with IRQ_LEVEL
Baoquan reported that after triggering a crash the subsequent crash-kernel
fails to boot about half of the time. It triggers a NULL pointer
dereference in the periodic tick code.
This happens because the legacy timer interrupt (IRQ0) is resent in
software which happens in soft interrupt (tasklet) context. In this context
get_irq_regs() returns NULL which leads to the NULL pointer dereference.
The reason for the resend is a spurious APIC interrupt on the IRQ0 vector
which is captured and leads to a resend when the legacy
