dm: fix mempool NULL pointer race when completing IO
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix mempool NULL pointer race when completing IO
dm_io_dec_pending() calls end_io_acct() first and will then dec md
in-flight pending count. But if a task is swapping DM table at same
time this can result in a crash due to mempool->elements being NULL:
task1 task2

->do_suspend
->dm_wait_for_completion
bio_endio
->clone_endio
->dm_io_dec_pending
->end_io_acct
->wakeup task1
->dm_swap_table
->__bind
->__bind_mempools
->bioset_exit

xhci: Fix command ring pointer corruption while aborting a command
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: Fix command ring pointer corruption while aborting a command
The command ring pointer is located at [6:63] bits of the command
ring control register (CRCR). All the control bits like command stop,
abort are located at [0:3] bits. While aborting a command, we read the
CRCR and set the abort bit and write to the CRCR. The read will always
give command ring pointer as all zeros. So we essentially write only
the control bits. Since we split the 64 bit write into two 32 bit writes,
there is a possibility of xHC command ring stopped before the upper
dword (all zeros) is wri
can: dev: can_put_echo_skb(): don't crash kernel if can_priv::echo_skb is accessed out of bounds
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: dev: can_put_echo_skb(): don't crash kernel if can_priv::echo_skb is accessed out of bounds
If the "struct can_priv::echoo_skb" is accessed out of bounds, this
would cause a kernel crash. Instead, issue a meaningful warning
message and return with an error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: prevent potential string overflow
The dev->id value comes from ida_alloc() so it's a number between zero
and INT_MAX. If it's too high then these sprintf()s will overflow.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: verify mac len before reading mac header
LLC reads the mac header with eth_hdr without verifying that the skb
has an Ethernet header.
Syzbot was able to enter llc_rcv on a tun device. Tun can insert
packets without mac len and with user configurable skb->protocol
(passing a tun_pi header when not configuring IFF_NO_PI).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue
This is based on alx driver commit 881d0327db37 ("net: alx: Work around
the DMA RX overflow issue").
The alx and atl1c drivers had RX overflow error which was why a custom
allocator was created to avoid certain addresses. The simpler workaround
then created for alx driver, but not for atl1c due to lack of tester.
Instead of using a custom allocator, check the allocated skb address and
use skb_reserve() to move away from problematic 0x...fc0 address.
Tested on AR8131 on Acer 4540.

scsi: ibmvfc: Remove BUG_ON in the case of an empty event pool
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ibmvfc: Remove BUG_ON in the case of an empty event pool
In practice the driver should never send more commands than are allocated
to a queue's event pool. In the unlikely event that this happens, the code
asserts a BUG_ON, and in the case that the kernel is not configured to
crash on panic returns a junk event pointer from the empty event list
causing things to spiral from there. This BUG_ON is a historical artifact
of the ibmvfc driver first being upstreamed, and it is well known now that
the use of BUG_ON is bad practice except in the most unrecoverable
scenario. T
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/jfs: Add check for negative db_l2nbperpage
l2nbperpage is log2(number of blks per page), and the minimum legal
value should be 0, not negative.
In the case of l2nbperpage being negative, an error will occur
when subsequently used as shift exponent.
Syzbot reported this bug:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c:799:12
shift exponent -16777216 is negative
scsi: libfc: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in fc_lport_ptp_setup()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libfc: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in fc_lport_ptp_setup()
fc_lport_ptp_setup() did not check the return value of fc_rport_create()
which can return NULL and would cause a NULL pointer dereference. Address
this issue by checking return value of fc_rport_create() and log error
message on fc_rport_create() failed.
ALSA: hda: Fix possible null-ptr-deref when assigning a stream
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: Fix possible null-ptr-deref when assigning a stream
While AudioDSP drivers assign streams exclusively of HOST or LINK type,
nothing blocks a user to attempt to assign a COUPLED stream. As
supplied substream instance may be a stub, what is the case when
code-loading, such scenario ends with null-ptr-deref.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in diAlloc
Currently there is not check against the agno of the iag while
allocating new inodes to avoid fragmentation problem. Added the check
which is required.
fs/jfs: Add validity check for db_maxag and db_agpref
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/jfs: Add validity check for db_maxag and db_agpref
Both db_maxag and db_agpref are used as the index of the
db_agfree array, but there is currently no validity check for
db_maxag and db_agpref, which can lead to errors.
The following is related bug reported by Syzbot:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c:639:20
index 7936 is out of range for type 'atomic_t[128]'
Add checking that the values of db_maxag and db_agpref are valid
indexes for the db_agfree array.
SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries
RPC client pipefs dentries cleanup is in separated rpc_remove_pipedir()
workqueue,which takes care about pipefs superblock locking.
In some special scenarios, when kernel frees the pipefs sb of the
current client and immediately alloctes a new pipefs sb,
rpc_remove_pipedir function would misjudge the existence of pipefs
sb which is not the one it used to hold. As a result,
the rpc_remove_pipedir would clean the released freed pipefs dentries.
To fix this issue, rpc_remove_pipedir should check whether the
current p
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in dbFindLeaf
Currently while searching for dmtree_t for sufficient free blocks there
is an array out of bounds while getting element in tp->dm_stree. To add
the required check for out of bound we first need to determine the type
of dmtree. Thus added an extra parameter to dbFindLeaf so that the type
of tree can be determined and the required check can be applied.
