netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path
The commit mutex should not be released during the critical section
between nft_gc_seq_begin() and nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GC
worker could collect expired objects and get the released commit lock
within the same GC sequence.
nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to load
module dependencies, then it goes back to replay the transaction again.
Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: do not free live element
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: do not free live element
Pablo reports a crash with large batches of elements with a
back-to-back add/remove pattern. Quoting Pablo:
add_elem("00000000") timeout 100 ms
...
add_elem("0000000X") timeout 100 ms
del_elem("0000000X") <---------------- delete one that was just added
...
add_elem("00005000") timeout 100 ms
1) nft_pipapo_remove() removes element 0000000X
Then, KASAN shows a splat.
Looking at the remove function there is a chance that we will drop a
rule that maps to a non-deactivated element.
Removal happens in two s
af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect()
Garbage collector does not take into account the risk of embryo getting
enqueued during the garbage collection. If such embryo has a peer that
carries SCM_RIGHTS, two consecutive passes of scan_children() may see a
different set of children. Leading to an incorrectly elevated inflight
count, and then a dangling pointer within the gc_inflight_list.
sockets are AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM
S is an unconnected socket
L is a listening in-flight socket bound to addr, not in fdtable
V's fd will be passed via sendmsg(), gets inflight
drm/amdgpu: validate the parameters of bo mapping operations more clearly
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: validate the parameters of bo mapping operations more clearly
Verify the parameters of
amdgpu_vm_bo_(map/replace_map/clearing_mappings) in one common place.
inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use
ip_local_out() and other functions can pass skb->sk as function argument.
If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call
returns, the sk must not be released.
This affects skb fragments reassembled via netfilter or similar
modules, e.g. openvswitch or ct_act.c, when run as part of tx pipeline.
Eric Dumazet made an initial analysis of this bug. Quoting Eric:
Calling ip_defrag() in output path is also implying skb_orphan(),
which is buggy because output path relies on sk not disappeari
tracing/trigger: Fix to return error if failed to alloc snapshot
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/trigger: Fix to return error if failed to alloc snapshot
Fix register_snapshot_trigger() to return error code if it failed to
allocate a snapshot instead of 0 (success). Unless that, it will register
snapshot trigger without an error.
scsi: Revert "scsi: fcoe: Fix potential deadlock on &fip->ctlr_lock"
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: Revert "scsi: fcoe: Fix potential deadlock on &fip->ctlr_lock"
This reverts commit 1a1975551943f681772720f639ff42fbaa746212.
This commit causes interrupts to be lost for FCoE devices, since it changed
sping locks from "bh" to "irqsave".
Instead, a work queue should be used, and will be addressed in a separate
commit.
Revert "drm/amd: flush any delayed gfxoff on suspend entry"
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "drm/amd: flush any delayed gfxoff on suspend entry"
commit ab4750332dbe ("drm/amdgpu/sdma5.2: add begin/end_use ring
callbacks") caused GFXOFF control to be used more heavily and the
codepath that was removed from commit 0dee72639533 ("drm/amd: flush any
delayed gfxoff on suspend entry") now can be exercised at suspend again.
Users report that by using GNOME to suspend the lockscreen trigger will
cause SDMA traffic and the system can deadlock.
This reverts commit 0dee726395333fea833eaaf838bc80962df886c8.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Reset IH OVERFLOW_CLEAR bit
Allows us to detect subsequent IH ring buffer overflows as well.
netfilter: ipset: fix performance regression in swap operation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: fix performance regression in swap operation
The patch "netfilter: ipset: fix race condition between swap/destroy
and kernel side add/del/test", commit 28628fa9 fixes a race condition.
But the synchronize_rcu() added to the swap function unnecessarily slows
it down: it can safely be moved to destroy and use call_rcu() instead.
Eric Dumazet pointed out that simply calling the destroy functions as
rcu callback does not work: sets with timeout use garbage collectors
which need cancelling at destroy which can wait. Therefore the destroy
functions are split in
pmdomain: mediatek: fix race conditions with genpd
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pmdomain: mediatek: fix race conditions with genpd
If the power domains are registered first with genpd and *after that*
the driver attempts to power them on in the probe sequence, then it is
possible that a race condition occurs if genpd tries to power them on
in the same time.
The same is valid for powering them off before unregistering them
from genpd.
Attempt to fix race conditions by first removing the domains from genpd
and *after that* powering down domains.
Also first power up the domains and *after that* register them
to genpd.

Bluetooth: rfcomm: Fix null-ptr-deref in rfcomm_check_security
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: rfcomm: Fix null-ptr-deref in rfcomm_check_security
During our fuzz testing of the connection and disconnection process at the
RFCOMM layer, we discovered this bug. By comparing the packets from a
normal connection and disconnection process with the testcase that
triggered a KASAN report. We analyzed the cause of this bug as follows:
1. In the packets captured during a normal connection, the host sends a
`Read Encryption Key Size` type of `HCI_CMD` packet
(Command Opcode: 0x1408) to the controller to inquire the length of
encryption key.After receiving this pack

aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
This patch is against CVE-2023-6270. The description of cve is:
A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on
`struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing
between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq`
global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or
potential code execution.
In aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), it always calls dev_put(ifp) when skb initial

wifi: ath9k: delay all of ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() until init is complete
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: delay all of ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() until init is complete
The ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() used in ath9k_htc assumes that all the data
structures have been fully initialised by the time it runs. However, because of
the order in which things are initialised, this is not guaranteed to be the
case, because the device is exposed to the USB subsystem before the ath9k driver
initialisation is completed.
We already committed a partial fix for this in commit:
8b3046abc99e ("ath9k_htc: fix NULL pointer dereference at ath9k_htc_tx_get_packet()")
However, that commit o
