In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth
Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev->needed_headroom, too.
While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in
commit 5ae1e9922bbd ("net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth"),
ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling.
Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version.
Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who was originally debugging this issue
and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: use dst_dev_rcu() in sk_setup_caps()
Use RCU to protect accesses to dst->dev from sk_setup_caps()
and sk_dst_gso_max_size().
Also use dst_dev_rcu() in ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward(),
and ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward().
ip4_dst_hoplimit() can use dst_dev_net_rcu().
smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match().
smc_clc_prfx_match() is called from smc_listen_work() and
not under RCU nor RTNL.
Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.
Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu().
Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_match() is not
used in the caller.
ext4: detect invalid INLINE_DATA + EXTENTS flag combination
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: detect invalid INLINE_DATA + EXTENTS flag combination
syzbot reported a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() when opening a verity
file on a corrupted ext4 filesystem mounted without a journal.
The issue is that the filesystem has an inode with both the INLINE_DATA
and EXTENTS flags set:
EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_cache_extents:545: inode #15:
comm syz.0.17: corrupted extent tree: lblk 0 < prev 66
Investigation revealed that the inode has both flags set:
DEBUG: inode 15 - flag=1, i_inline_off=164, has_inline=1, extents_flag=1
This is an invalid com

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/events: Return -EEXIST for bound VIRQs
Change find_virq() to return -EEXIST when a VIRQ is bound to a
different CPU than the one passed in. With that, remove the BUG_ON()
from bind_virq_to_irq() to propogate the error upwards.
Some VIRQs are per-cpu, but others are per-domain or global. Those must
be bound to CPU0 and can then migrate elsewhere. The lookup for
per-domain and global will probably fail when migrated off CPU 0,
especially when the current CPU is tracked. This now returns -EEXIST
instead of BUG_ON().
A second call to bind a per-domain or global VIRQ i
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: use RCU in ip6_output()
Use RCU in ip6_output() in order to use dst_dev_rcu() to prevent
possible UAF.

from ip6_finish_output2().

blk-mq: fix potential deadlock while nr_requests grown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-mq: fix potential deadlock while nr_requests grown
Allocate and free sched_tags while queue is freezed can deadlock[1],
this is a long term problem, hence allocate memory before freezing
queue and free memory after queue is unfreezed.

net: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast
syzbot reported WARNING in rtl8150_start_xmit/usb_submit_urb.
This is the sequence of events that leads to the warning:
rtl8150_start_xmit() {
netif_stop_queue();
usb_submit_urb(dev->tx_urb);
}
rtl8150_set_multicast() {
netif_stop_queue();
netif_wake_queue(); <-- wakes up TX queue before URB is done
}
rtl8150_start_xmit() {
netif_stop_queue();

}
rtl8150_set_multicast being the ndo_set_rx_mode callback should not be

smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in in smc_clc_prfx_set().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in in smc_clc_prfx_set().
smc_clc_prfx_set() is called during connect() and not under RCU
nor RTNL.
Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF.
Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dev_dst_rcu() under rcu_read_lock()
after kernel_getsockname().
Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_set() is not used
in the caller.
While at it, we change the 1st arg of smc_clc_prfx_set[46]_rcu()
not to touch dst there.

sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in copy_{from_to}_user for UltraSPARC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in copy_{from_to}_user for UltraSPARC
The referenced commit introduced exception handlers on user-space memory
references in copy_from_user and copy_to_user. These handlers return from
the respective function and calculate the remaining bytes left to copy
using the current register contents. This commit fixes a couple of bad
calculations. This will fix the return value of copy_from_user and
copy_to_user in the faulting case. The behaviour of memcpy stays unchanged.
sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in copy_{from_to}_user for UltraSPARC III
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in copy_{from_to}_user for UltraSPARC III
Anthony Yznaga tracked down that a BUG_ON in ext4 code with large folios
enabled resulted from copy_from_user() returning impossibly large values
greater than the size to be copied. This lead to __copy_from_iter()
returning impossible values instead of the actual number of bytes it was
able to copy.
The BUG_ON has been reported in

usb: host: max3421-hcd: Fix error pointer dereference in probe cleanup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: host: max3421-hcd: Fix error pointer dereference in probe cleanup
The kthread_run() function returns error pointers so the
max3421_hcd->spi_thread pointer can be either error pointers or NULL.
Check for both before dereferencing it.
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix crash in transport port remove by using ioc_info()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix crash in transport port remove by using ioc_info()
During mpt3sas_transport_port_remove(), messages were logged with
dev_printk() against &mpt3sas_port->port->dev. At this point the SAS
transport device may already be partially unregistered or freed, leading
to a crash when accessing its struct device.
Using ioc_info(), which logs via the PCI device (ioc->pdev->dev),
guaranteed to remain valid until driver removal.

drm/vmwgfx: Fix a null-ptr access in the cursor snooper
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Fix a null-ptr access in the cursor snooper
Check that the resource which is converted to a surface exists before
trying to use the cursor snooper on it.
vmw_cmd_res_check allows explicit invalid (SVGA3D_INVALID_ID) identifiers
because some svga commands accept SVGA3D_INVALID_ID to mean "no surface",
unfortunately functions that accept the actual surfaces as objects might
(and in case of the cursor snooper, do not) be able to handle null
objects. Make sure that we validate not only the identifier (via the
vmw_cmd_res_check) but also check that the actual resour
can: hi311x: fix null pointer dereference when resuming from sleep before interface was enabled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: hi311x: fix null pointer dereference when resuming from sleep before interface was enabled
This issue is similar to the vulnerability in the `mcp251x` driver,
which was fixed in commit 03c427147b2d ("can: mcp251x: fix resume from
sleep before interface was brought up").
In the `hi311x` driver, when the device resumes from sleep, the driver
schedules `priv->restart_work`. However, if the network interface was
not previously enabled, the `priv->wq` (workqueue) is not allocated and
initialized, leading to a null pointer dereference.
To fix this, we move the allocation a
