In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: renesas_usbhs: Flush the notify_hotplug_work
When performing continuous unbind/bind operations on the USB drivers
available on the Renesas RZ/G2L SoC, a kernel crash with the message
"Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address"
may occur. This issue points to the usbhsc_notify_hotplug() function.
Flush the delayed work to avoid its execution when driver resources are
unavailable.
usb: atm: cxacru: fix a flaw in existing endpoint checks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: atm: cxacru: fix a flaw in existing endpoint checks
Syzbot once again identified a flaw in usb endpoint checking, see [1].
This time the issue stems from a commit authored by me (2eabb655a968
("usb: atm: cxacru: fix endpoint checking in cxacru_bind()")).
While using usb_find_common_endpoints() may usually be enough to
discard devices with wrong endpoints, in this case one needs more
than just finding and identifying the sufficient number of endpoints
of correct types - one needs to check the endpoint's address as well.
Since cxacru_bind() fills URBs with CXACRU_EP_CM
slimbus: messaging: Free transaction ID in delayed interrupt scenario
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
slimbus: messaging: Free transaction ID in delayed interrupt scenario
In case of interrupt delay for any reason, slim_do_transfer()
returns timeout error but the transaction ID (TID) is not freed.
This results into invalid memory access inside
qcom_slim_ngd_rx_msgq_cb() due to invalid TID.
Fix the issue by freeing the TID in slim_do_transfer() before
returning timeout error to avoid invalid memory access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: regulatory: improve invalid hints checking
Syzbot keeps reporting an issue [1] that occurs when erroneous symbols
sent from userspace get through into user_alpha2[] via
regulatory_hint_user() call. Such invalid regulatory hints should be
rejected.
While a sanity check from commit 47caf685a685 ("cfg80211: regulatory:
reject invalid hints") looks to be enough to deter these very cases,
there is a way to get around it due to 2 reasons.
1) The way isalpha() works, symbols other than latin lower and
upper letters may be used to determine a country/domain.

wifi: nl80211: reject cooked mode if it is set along with other flags
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: reject cooked mode if it is set along with other flags
It is possible to set both MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES and MONITOR_FLAG_ACTIVE
flags simultaneously on the same monitor interface from the userspace. This
causes a sub-interface to be created with no IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER bit
set because the monitor interface is in the cooked state and it takes
precedence over all other states. When the interface is then being deleted
the kernel calls WARN_ONCE() from check_sdata_in_driver() because of missing
that bit.
Fix this by rejecting MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES if
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: limit printed string from FW file
There's no guarantee here that the file is always with a
NUL-termination, so reading the string may read beyond the
end of the TLV. If that's the last TLV in the file, it can
perhaps even read beyond the end of the file buffer.
Fix that by limiting the print format to the size of the
buffer we have.
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

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.
