ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_readdir when note_last_dentry returns error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_readdir when note_last_dentry returns error
Reset the last_readdir at the same time, and add a comment explaining
why we don't free last_readdir when dir_emit returns false.
staging: vchiq_arm: Avoid NULL ptr deref in vchiq_dump_platform_instances
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: vchiq_arm: Avoid NULL ptr deref in vchiq_dump_platform_instances
vchiq_get_state() can return a NULL pointer. So handle this cases and
avoid a NULL pointer derefence in vchiq_dump_platform_instances.
staging: wfx: fix an error handling in wfx_init_common()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: wfx: fix an error handling in wfx_init_common()
One error handler of wfx_init_common() return without calling
ieee80211_free_hw(hw), which may result in memory leak. And I add
one err label to unify the error handler, which is useful for the
subsequent changes.
staging: vchiq_core: handle NULL result of find_service_by_handle
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: vchiq_core: handle NULL result of find_service_by_handle
In case of an invalid handle the function find_servive_by_handle
returns NULL. So take care of this and avoid a NULL pointer dereference.
NFSv4.2: fix reference count leaks in _nfs42_proc_copy_notify()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.2: fix reference count leaks in _nfs42_proc_copy_notify()
[You don't often get email from xiongx18@fudan.edu.cn. Learn why this is important at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification.]
The reference counting issue happens in two error paths in the
function _nfs42_proc_copy_notify(). In both error paths, the function
simply returns the error code and forgets to balance the refcount of
object `ctx`, bumped by get_nfs_open_context() earlier, which may
cause refcount leaks.
Fix it by balancing refcount of the `ctx` object before the function
returns in both error
habanalabs: fix possible memory leak in MMU DR fini
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
habanalabs: fix possible memory leak in MMU DR fini
This patch fixes what seems to be copy paste error.
We will have a memory leak if the host-resident shadow is NULL (which
will likely happen as the DR and HR are not dependent).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_console: eliminate anonymous module_init & module_exit
Eliminate anonymous module_init() and module_exit(), which can lead to
confusion or ambiguity when reading System.map, crashes/oops/bugs,
or an initcall_debug log.
Give each of these init and exit functions unique driver-specific
names to eliminate the anonymous names.
Example 1: (System.map)
ffffffff832fc78c t init
ffffffff832fc79e t init
ffffffff832fc8f8 t init
Example 2: (initcall_debug log)
calling init+0x0/0x12 @ 1
initcall init+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 15 usecs
calling init+0x0/0x60 @ 1

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix potential crash on module unload
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix potential crash on module unload
The vmbus driver relies on the panic notifier infrastructure to perform
some operations when a panic event is detected. Since vmbus can be built
as module, it is required that the driver handles both registering and
unregistering such panic notifier callback.
After commit 74347a99e73a ("x86/Hyper-V: Unload vmbus channel in hv panic callback")
though, the panic notifier registration is done unconditionally in the module
initialization routine whereas the unregistering procedure is conditionally
guarded and executes on
NFS: Avoid writeback threads getting stuck in mempool_alloc()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Avoid writeback threads getting stuck in mempool_alloc()
In a low memory situation, allow the NFS writeback code to fail without
getting stuck in infinite loops in mempool_alloc().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfc: add missing xdp queue reinitialization
After rx/tx ring buffer size is changed, kernel panic occurs when
it acts XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT.
When tx/rx ring buffer size is changed(ethtool -G), sfc driver
reallocates and reinitializes rx and tx queues and their buffer
(tx_queue->buffer).
But it misses reinitializing xdp queues(efx->xdp_tx_queues).
So, while it is acting XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT, it uses the uninitialized
tx_queue->buffer.
A new function efx_set_xdp_channels() is separated from efx_set_channels()
to handle only xdp queues.
Splat looks like:

scsi: zorro7xx: Fix a resource leak in zorro7xx_remove_one()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: zorro7xx: Fix a resource leak in zorro7xx_remove_one()
The error handling path of the probe releases a resource that is not freed
in the remove function. In some cases, a ioremap() must be undone.
Add the missing iounmap() call in the remove function.
net/tls: fix slab-out-of-bounds bug in decrypt_internal
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tls: fix slab-out-of-bounds bug in decrypt_internal
The memory size of tls_ctx->rx.iv for AES128-CCM is 12 setting in
tls_set_sw_offload(). The return value of crypto_aead_ivsize()
for "ccm(aes)" is 16. So memcpy() require 16 bytes from 12 bytes
memory space will trigger slab-out-of-bounds bug as following:

skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment recycling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment recycling
Fix a use-after-free when using page_pool with page fragments. We
encountered this problem during normal RX in the hns3 driver:
(1) Initially we have three descriptors in the RX queue. The first one
allocates PAGE1 through page_pool, and the other two allocate one
half of PAGE2 each. Page references look like this:
RX_BD1 _______ PAGE1
RX_BD2 _______ PAGE2
RX_BD3 _________/
(2) Handle RX on the first descriptor. Allocate SKB1, eventually added

net: ipv4: fix route with nexthop object delete warning
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv4: fix route with nexthop object delete warning
FRR folks have hit a kernel warning[1] while deleting routes[2] which is
caused by trying to delete a route pointing to a nexthop id without
specifying nhid but matching on an interface. That is, a route is found
but we hit a warning while matching it. The warning is from
fib_info_nh() in include/net/nexthop.h because we run it on a fib_info
with nexthop object. The call chain is:
inet_rtm_delroute -> fib_table_delete -> fib_nh_match (called with a
nexthop fib_info and also with fc_oif set thus calling fib_info_nh on

arch/arm64: Fix topology initialization for core scheduling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arch/arm64: Fix topology initialization for core scheduling
Arm64 systems rely on store_cpu_topology() to call update_siblings_masks()
to transfer the toplogy to the various cpu masks. This needs to be done
before the call to notify_cpu_starting() which tells the scheduler about
each cpu found, otherwise the core scheduling data structures are setup
in a way that does not match the actual topology.
With smt_mask not setup correctly we bail on `cpumask_weight(smt_mask) == 1`
for !leaders in:
notify_cpu_starting()
cpuhp_invoke_callback_range()
sched_cpu_starting()
IB/rdmavt: add lock to call to rvt_error_qp to prevent a race condition
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/rdmavt: add lock to call to rvt_error_qp to prevent a race condition
The documentation of the function rvt_error_qp says both r_lock and s_lock
need to be held when calling that function. It also asserts using lockdep
that both of those locks are held. However, the commit I referenced in
Fixes accidentally makes the call to rvt_error_qp in rvt_ruc_loopback no
longer covered by r_lock. This results in the lockdep assertion failing
and also possibly in a race condition.

net: openvswitch: fix leak of nested actions
While parsing user-provided actions, openvswitch module may dynamically
allocate memory and store pointers in the internal copy of the actions.
So this memory has to be freed while destroying the actions.
Currently there are only two such actions: ct() and set(). However,
there are many actions that can hold nested lists of actions and
ovs_nla_free_flow_actions() just jumps over them leaking the memory.
For example, removal of the flow with the following actions will lead
to a leak of the memory allocated by nf_ct_tmpl_alloc()
