In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uaccess: fix integer overflow on access_ok()
Three architectures check the end of a user access against the
address limit without taking a possible overflow into account.
Passing a negative length or another overflow in here returns
success when it should not.
Use the most common correct implementation here, which optimizes
for a constant 'size' argument, and turns the common case into a
single comparison.
ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent prealloc proc writes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent prealloc proc writes
We have no protection against concurrent PCM buffer preallocation
changes via proc files, and it may potentially lead to UAF or some
weird problem. This patch applies the PCM open_mutex to the proc
write operation for avoiding the racy proc writes and the PCM stream
open (and further operations).
iio: accel: mma8452: use the correct logic to get mma8452_data
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: mma8452: use the correct logic to get mma8452_data
The original logic to get mma8452_data is wrong, the *dev point to
the device belong to iio_dev. we can't use this dev to find the
correct i2c_client. The original logic happen to work because it
finally use dev->driver_data to get iio_dev. Here use the API
to_i2c_client() is wrong and make reader confuse. To correct the
logic, it should be like this
struct mma8452_data *data = iio_priv(dev_get_drvdata(dev));
But after commit 8b7651f25962 ("iio: iio_device_alloc(): Remove
unnecessary self drvdata"), the uppe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

If an error is returned in jffs2_scan_eraseblock() and some memory

can: m_can: m_can_tx_handler(): fix use after free of skb
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: m_can: m_can_tx_handler(): fix use after free of skb
can_put_echo_skb() will clone skb then free the skb. Move the
can_put_echo_skb() for the m_can version 3.0.x directly before the
start of the xmit in hardware, similar to the 3.1.x branch.
exec: Force single empty string when argv is empty
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: Force single empty string when argv is empty
Quoting[1] Ariadne Conill:
"In several other operating systems, it is a hard requirement that the
second argument to execve(2) be the name of a program, thus prohibiting
a scenario where argc < 1. POSIX 2017 also recommends this behaviour,
but it is not an explicit requirement[2]:
The argument arg0 should point to a filename string that is
associated with the process being started by one of the exec
functions.

Interestingly, Michael Kerrisk opened an issue about this in 2008[3],
but there was no consensus
media: usb: go7007: s2250-board: fix leak in probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: usb: go7007: s2250-board: fix leak in probe()
Call i2c_unregister_device(audio) on this error path.
ALSA: firewire-lib: fix uninitialized flag for AV/C deferred transaction
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: firewire-lib: fix uninitialized flag for AV/C deferred transaction
AV/C deferred transaction was supported at a commit 00a7bb81c20f ("ALSA:
firewire-lib: Add support for deferred transaction") while 'deferrable'
flag can be uninitialized for non-control/notify AV/C transactions.
UBSAN reports it:

media: stk1160: If start stream fails, return buffers with VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: stk1160: If start stream fails, return buffers with VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED
If the callback 'start_streaming' fails, then all
queued buffers in the driver should be returned with
state 'VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED'. Currently, they are
returned with 'VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR' which is wrong.
Fix this. This also fixes the warning:

ASoC: atmel: Add missing of_node_put() in at91sam9g20ek_audio_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: atmel: Add missing of_node_put() in at91sam9g20ek_audio_probe
This node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount
incremented in this function.
Calling of_node_put() to avoid the refcount leak.
ASoC: mxs: Fix error handling in mxs_sgtl5000_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mxs: Fix error handling in mxs_sgtl5000_probe
This function only calls of_node_put() in the regular path.
And it will cause refcount leak in error paths.
For example, when codec_np is NULL, saif_np[0] and saif_np[1]
are not NULL, it will cause leaks.
of_node_put() will check if the node pointer is NULL, so we can
call it directly to release the refcount of regular pointers.
ASoC: atmel: Fix error handling in sam9x5_wm8731_driver_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: atmel: Fix error handling in sam9x5_wm8731_driver_probe
The device_node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount
incremented. We should use of_node_put() on it when done.
This function only calls of_node_put() in the regular path.
And it will cause refcount leak in error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath9k_htc: fix uninit value bugs
Syzbot reported 2 KMSAN bugs in ath9k. All of them are caused by missing
field initialization.
In htc_connect_service() svc_meta_len and pad are not initialized. Based
on code it looks like in current skb there is no service data, so simply
initialize svc_meta_len to 0.
htc_issue_send() does not initialize htc_frame_hdr::control array. Based
on firmware code, it will initialize it by itself, so simply zero whole
array to make KMSAN happy

scsi: pm8001: Fix abort all task initialization
In pm80xx_send_abort_all(), the n_elem field of the ccb used is not
initialized to 0. This missing initialization sometimes lead to the task
completion path seeing the ccb with a non-zero n_elem resulting in the
execution of invalid dma_unmap_sg() calls in pm8001_ccb_task_free(),
causing a crash such as:

drm/tegra: Fix reference leak in tegra_dsi_ganged_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/tegra: Fix reference leak in tegra_dsi_ganged_probe
The reference taken by 'of_find_device_by_node()' must be released when
not needed anymore. Add put_device() call to fix this.
af_netlink: Fix shift out of bounds in group mask calculation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_netlink: Fix shift out of bounds in group mask calculation
When a netlink message is received, netlink_recvmsg() fills in the address
of the sender. One of the fields is the 32-bit bitfield nl_groups, which
carries the multicast group on which the message was received. The least
significant bit corresponds to group 1, and therefore the highest group
that the field can represent is 32. Above that, the UB sanitizer flags the
out-of-bounds shift attempts.
Which bits end up being set in such case is implementation defined, but
it's either going to be a wrong non-zero value,
powerpc/pseries: Fix use after free in remove_phb_dynamic()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: Fix use after free in remove_phb_dynamic()
In remove_phb_dynamic() we use &phb->io_resource, after we've called
device_unregister(&host_bridge->dev). But the unregister may have freed
phb, because pcibios_free_controller_deferred() is the release function
for the host_bridge.
If there are no outstanding references when we call device_unregister()
then phb will be freed out from under us.
This has gone mainly unnoticed, but with slub_debug and page_poison
enabled it can lead to a crash:

mxser: fix xmit_buf leak in activate when LSR == 0xff
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mxser: fix xmit_buf leak in activate when LSR == 0xff
When LSR is 0xff in ->activate() (rather unlike), we return an error.
Provided ->shutdown() is not called when ->activate() fails, nothing
actually frees the buffer in this case.
Fix this by properly freeing the buffer in a designated label. We jump
there also from the "!info->type" if now too.
kernel/resource: fix kfree() of bootmem memory again
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernel/resource: fix kfree() of bootmem memory again
Since commit ebff7d8f270d ("mem hotunplug: fix kfree() of bootmem
memory"), we could get a resource allocated during boot via
alloc_resource(). And it's required to release the resource using
free_resource(). Howerver, many people use kfree directly which will
result in kernel BUG. In order to fix this without fixing every call
site, just leak a couple of bytes in such corner case.
