In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent possible UAF in ip6_xmit()
If skb_expand_head() returns NULL, skb has been freed
and the associated dst/idev could also have been freed.
We must use rcu_read_lock() to prevent a possible UAF.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: validate vlan header
Ensure there is sufficient room to access the protocol field of the
VLAN header, validate it once before the flowtable lookup.

drm/msm/dpu: cleanup FB if dpu_format_populate_layout fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dpu: cleanup FB if dpu_format_populate_layout fails
If the dpu_format_populate_layout() fails, then FB is prepared, but not
cleaned up. This ends up leaking the pin_count on the GEM object and
causes a splat during DRM file closure:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: avoid possible UaF when selecting endp
select_local_address() and select_signal_address() both select an
endpoint entry from the list inside an RCU protected section, but return
a reference to it, to be read later on. If the entry is dereferenced
after the RCU unlock, reading info could cause a Use-after-Free.
A simple solution is to copy the required info while inside the RCU
protected section to avoid any risk of UaF later. The address ID might
need to be modified later to handle the ID0 case later, so a copy seems
OK to deal with.
net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Fix a possible memory leak in bcm_sf2_mdio_register()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Fix a possible memory leak in bcm_sf2_mdio_register()
bcm_sf2_mdio_register() calls of_phy_find_device() and then
phy_device_remove() in a loop to remove existing PHY devices.
of_phy_find_device() eventually calls bus_find_device(), which calls
get_device() on the returned struct device * to increment the refcount.
The current implementation does not decrement the refcount, which causes
memory leak.
This commit adds the missing phy_device_free() call to decrement the
refcount via put_device() to balance the refcount.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O
When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is
interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt
fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the
SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original
operation at a later time.
Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if
the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a
leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware
malfunction.
binfmt_flat: Fix corruption when not offsetting data start
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_flat: Fix corruption when not offsetting data start
Commit 04d82a6d0881 ("binfmt_flat: allow not offsetting data start")
introduced a RISC-V specific variant of the FLAT format which does
not allocate any space for the (obsolete) array of shared library
pointers. However, it did not disable the code which initializes the
array, resulting in the corruption of sizeof(long) bytes before the DATA
segment, generally the end of the TEXT segment.
Introduce MAX_SHARED_LIBS_UPDATE which depends on the state of
CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET to guard the initializati
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Fix pti_clone_pgtable() alignment assumption
Guenter reported dodgy crashes on an i386-nosmp build using GCC-11
that had the form of endless traps until entry stack exhaust and then
#DF from the stack guard.
It turned out that pti_clone_pgtable() had alignment assumptions on
the start address, notably it hard assumes start is PMD aligned. This
is true on x86_64, but very much not true on i386.
These assumptions can cause the end condition to malfunction, leading
to a 'short' clone. Guess what happens when the user mapping has a
short copy of the entry text?

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: core: Check for unset descriptor
Make sure the descriptor has been set before looking at maxpacket.
This fixes a null pointer panic in this case.
This may happen if the gadget doesn't properly set up the endpoint
for the current speed, or the gadget descriptors are malformed and
the descriptor for the speed/endpoint are not found.
No current gadget driver is known to have this problem, but this
may cause a hard-to-find bug during development of new gadgets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: line6: Fix racy access to midibuf
There can be concurrent accesses to line6 midibuf from both the URB
completion callback and the rawmidi API access. This could be a cause
of KMSAN warning triggered by syzkaller below (so put as reported-by
here).
This patch protects the midibuf call of the former code path with a
spinlock for avoiding the possible races.
x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them
MTRRs have an obsolete fixed variant for fine grained caching control
of the 640K-1MB region that uses separate MSRs. This fixed variant has
a separate capability bit in the MTRR capability MSR.
So far all x86 CPUs which support MTRR have this separate bit set, so it
went unnoticed that mtrr_save_state() does not check the capability bit
before accessing the fixed MTRR MSRs.
Though on a CPU that does not support the fixed MTRR capability this
results in a #GP. The #GP itself is harmless because the RDMSR fault is

fuse: Initialize beyond-EOF page contents before setting uptodate
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: Initialize beyond-EOF page contents before setting uptodate
fuse_notify_store(), unlike fuse_do_readpage(), does not enable page
zeroing (because it can be used to change partial page contents).
So fuse_notify_store() must be more careful to fully initialize page
contents (including parts of the page that are beyond end-of-file)
before marking the page uptodate.
The current code can leave beyond-EOF page contents uninitialized, which
makes these uninitialized page contents visible to userspace via mmap().
This is an information leak, but only affects systems which
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: Serialise kcm_sendmsg() for the same socket.
syzkaller reported UAF in kcm_release(). [0]
The scenario is
1. Thread A builds a skb with MSG_MORE and sets kcm->seq_skb.
2. Thread A resumes building skb from kcm->seq_skb but is blocked
by sk_stream_wait_memory()
3. Thread B calls sendmsg() concurrently, finishes building kcm->seq_skb
and puts the skb to the write queue
4. Thread A faces an error and finally frees skb that is already in the
write queue
5. kcm_release() does double-free the skb in the write queue

sched: Fix yet more sched_fork() races
Where commit 4ef0c5c6b5ba ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an
invalid sched_task_group") fixed a fork race vs cgroup, it opened up a
race vs syscalls by not placing the task on the runqueue before it
gets exposed through the pidhash.
Commit 13765de8148f ("sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entity") is
trying to fix a single instance of this, instead fix the whole class
of issues, effectively reverting this commit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ctnetlink: use helper function to calculate expect ID
Delete expectation path is missing a call to the nf_expect_get_id()
helper function to calculate the expectation ID, otherwise LSB of the
expectation object address is leaked to userspace.

fou: remove warn in gue_gro_receive on unsupported protocol
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: remove warn in gue_gro_receive on unsupported protocol
Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE inn gue_gro_receive if the encapsulated type is
not known or does not have a GRO handler.
Such a packet is easily constructed. Syzbot generates them and sets
off this warning.
Remove the warning as it is expected and not actionable.
The warning was previously reduced from WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE in
commit 270136613bf7 ("fou: Do WARN_ON_ONCE in gue_gro_receive for bad
proto callbacks").

sctp: Fix null-ptr-deref in reuseport_add_sock().
syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref while accessing sk2->sk_reuseport_cb in

The repro first creates a listener with SO_REUSEPORT. Then, it creates
another listener on the same port and concurrently closes the first
listener.
The second listen() calls reuseport_add_sock() with the first listener as
sk2, where sk2->sk_reuseport_cb is not expected to be cleared concurrently,
but the close() does clear it by reuseport_detach_sock().
The problem is SCTP does not properly synchronise reuseport_alloc(),
