In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ila: block BH in ila_output()
As explained in commit 1378817486d6 ("tipc: block BH
before using dst_cache"), net/core/dst_cache.c
helpers need to be called with BH disabled.
ila_output() is called from lwtunnel_output()
possibly from process context, and under rcu_read_lock().
We might be interrupted by a softirq, re-enter ila_output()
and corrupt dst_cache data structures.
Fix the race by using local_bh_disable().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: avoid double free special payload
If a discard request needs to be retried, and that retry may fail before
a new special payload is added, a double free will result. Clear the
RQF_SPECIAL_LOAD when the request is cleaned.
wifi: cfg80211: wext: add extra SIOCSIWSCAN data check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: wext: add extra SIOCSIWSCAN data check
In 'cfg80211_wext_siwscan()', add extra check whether number of
channels passed via 'ioctl(sock, SIOCSIWSCAN, ...)' doesn't exceed
IW_MAX_FREQUENCIES and reject invalid request with -EINVAL otherwise.
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Prevent UAF in kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Prevent UAF in kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group()
Al reported a possible use-after-free (UAF) in kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group().
It looks up `stt` from tablefd, but then continues to use it after doing
fdput() on the returned fd. After the fdput() the tablefd is free to be
closed by another thread. The close calls kvm_spapr_tce_release() and
then release_spapr_tce_table() (via call_rcu()) which frees `stt`.
Although there are calls to rcu_read_lock() in
kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group() they are not sufficient to prevent
the UAF, because `stt` is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmvnic: Add tx check to prevent skb leak
Below is a summary of how the driver stores a reference to an skb during
transmit:
tx_buff[free_map[consumer_index]]->skb = new_skb;
free_map[consumer_index] = IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP;
consumer_index ++;
Where variable data looks like this:
free_map == [4, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, 0, 3]
consumer_index^
tx_buff == [skb=null, skb=<ptr>, skb=<ptr>, skb=null, skb=null]
The driver has checks to ensure that free_map[consumer_index] pointed to
a valid index b
powerpc/pseries: Whitelist dtl slub object for copying to userspace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Reading the dispatch trace log from /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dtl/cpu-*

powerpc/eeh: avoid possible crash when edev->pdev changes
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/eeh: avoid possible crash when edev->pdev changes
If a PCI device is removed during eeh_pe_report_edev(), edev->pdev
will change and can cause a crash, hold the PCI rescan/remove lock
while taking a copy of edev->pdev->bus.
Bluetooth: hci_core: cancel all works upon hci_unregister_dev()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: cancel all works upon hci_unregister_dev()
syzbot is reporting that calling hci_release_dev() from hci_error_reset()
due to hci_dev_put() from hci_error_reset() can cause deadlock at
destroy_workqueue(), for hci_error_reset() is called from
hdev->req_workqueue which destroy_workqueue() needs to flush.
We need to make sure that hdev->{rx_work,cmd_work,tx_work} which are
queued into hdev->workqueue and hdev->{power_on,error_reset} which are
queued into hdev->req_workqueue are no longer running by the moment

filelock: fix potential use-after-free in posix_lock_inode
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filelock: fix potential use-after-free in posix_lock_inode
Light Hsieh reported a KASAN UAF warning in trace_posix_lock_inode().
The request pointer had been changed earlier to point to a lock entry
that was added to the inode's list. However, before the tracepoint could
fire, another task raced in and freed that lock.
Fix this by moving the tracepoint inside the spinlock, which should
ensure that this doesn't happen.
net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix double free in detach
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix double free in detach
The number of the currently released descriptor is never incremented
which results in the same skb being released multiple times.
ppp: reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed packets
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed packets
Since 'ppp_async_encode()' assumes valid LCP packets (with code
from 1 to 7 inclusive), add 'ppp_check_packet()' to ensure that
LCP packet has an actual body beyond PPP_LCP header bytes, and
reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed data otherwise.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: prefer nft_chain_validate
nft_chain_validate already performs loop detection because a cycle will
result in a call stack overflow (ctx->level >= NFT_JUMP_STACK_SIZE).
It also follows maps via ->validate callback in nft_lookup, so there
appears no reason to iterate the maps again.
nf_tables_check_loops() and all its helper functions can be removed.
This improves ruleset load time significantly, from 23s down to 12s.
This also fixes a crash bug. Old loop detection code can result in
unbounded recursion:

udp: Set SOCK_RCU_FREE earlier in udp_lib_get_port().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Set SOCK_RCU_FREE earlier in udp_lib_get_port().
syzkaller triggered the warning [0] in udp_v4_early_demux().
In udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), we do not touch the refcount
of the looked-up sk and use sock_pfree() as skb->destructor, so we check
SOCK_RCU_FREE to ensure that the sk is safe to access during the RCU grace
period.
Currently, SOCK_RCU_FREE is flagged for a bound socket after being put
into the hash table. Moreover, the SOCK_RCU_FREE check is done too early
in udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), so there could be a small race

USB: core: Fix duplicate endpoint bug by clearing reserved bits in the descriptor
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: core: Fix duplicate endpoint bug by clearing reserved bits in the descriptor
Syzbot has identified a bug in usbcore (see the Closes: tag below)
caused by our assumption that the reserved bits in an endpoint
descriptor's bEndpointAddress field will always be 0. As a result of
the bug, the endpoint_is_duplicate() routine in config.c (and possibly
other routines as well) may believe that two descriptors are for
distinct endpoints, even though they have the same direction and
endpoint number. This can lead to confusion, including the bug
identified by syzbot (two descrip
nilfs2: fix kernel bug on rename operation of broken directory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel bug on rename operation of broken directory
Syzbot reported that in rename directory operation on broken directory on
nilfs2, __block_write_begin_int() called to prepare block write may fail
BUG_ON check for access exceeding the folio/page size.
This is because nilfs_dotdot(), which gets parent directory reference
entry ("..") of the directory to be moved or renamed, does not check
consistency enough, and may return location exceeding folio/page size for
broken directories.
Fix this issue by checking required directory entries ("." and "..") in

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix signedness bug in sdma_v4_0_process_trap_irq()
The "instance" variable needs to be signed for the error handling to work.

filelock: Fix fcntl/close race recovery compat path
When I wrote commit 3cad1bc01041 ("filelock: Remove locks reliably when
fcntl/close race is detected"), I missed that there are two copies of the
code I was patching: The normal version, and the version for 64-bit offsets
on 32-bit kernels.
Thanks to Greg KH for stumbling over this while doing the stable
backport...
Apply exactly the same fix to the compat path for 32-bit kernels.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: don't walk off the end of ealist
Add a check before visiting the members of ea to
make sure each ea stays within the ealist.
ocfs2: strict bound check before memcmp in ocfs2_xattr_find_entry()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: strict bound check before memcmp in ocfs2_xattr_find_entry()
xattr in ocfs2 maybe 'non-indexed', which saved with additional space
requested. It's better to check if the memory is out of bound before
memcmp, although this possibility mainly comes from crafted poisonous
images.
