In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: prevent use of deleted inode
syzbot reported a WARNING in nilfs_rmdir. [1]
Because the inode bitmap is corrupted, an inode with an inode number that
should exist as a ".nilfs" file was reassigned by nilfs_mkdir for "file0",
causing an inode duplication during execution. And this causes an
underflow of i_nlink in rmdir operations.
The inode is used twice by the same task to unmount and remove directories
".nilfs" and "file0", it trigger warning in nilfs_rmdir.
Avoid to this issue, check i_nlink in nilfs_iget(), if it is 0, it means
that this inode has been delete
ipvs: fix UB due to uninitialized stack access in ip_vs_protocol_init()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix UB due to uninitialized stack access in ip_vs_protocol_init()
Under certain kernel configurations when building with Clang/LLVM, the
compiler does not generate a return or jump as the terminator
instruction for ip_vs_protocol_init(), triggering the following objtool
warning during build time:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ip_vs_protocol_init() falls through to next function __initstub__kmod_ip_vs_rr__935_123_ip_vs_rr_init6()
At runtime, this either causes an oops when trying to load the ipvs
module or a boot-time panic if ipvs is built-in. This same issue has

igb: Fix potential invalid memory access in igb_init_module()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: Fix potential invalid memory access in igb_init_module()
The pci_register_driver() can fail and when this happened, the dca_notifier
needs to be unregistered, otherwise the dca_notifier can be called when
igb fails to install, resulting to invalid memory access.
spi: mpc52xx: Add cancel_work_sync before module remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: mpc52xx: Add cancel_work_sync before module remove
If we remove the module which will call mpc52xx_spi_remove
it will free 'ms' through spi_unregister_controller.
while the work ms->work will be used. The sequence of operations
that may lead to a UAF bug.
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in mpc52xx_spi_remove.
bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again
Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush().
1721 if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->root))
1722 list_add(&c->root->list, &c->btree_cache);
>From the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code
fails before allocating c->root, it is possible c->root is NULL as what
it is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but
c->root is possible to be NULL at above line 1721.

i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock
A deadlock may happen since the i3c_master_register() acquires
&i3cbus->lock twice. See the log below.
Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_info() to
avoid acquiring the lock twice.

quota: flush quota_release_work upon quota writeback
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
quota: flush quota_release_work upon quota writeback
One of the paths quota writeback is called from is:
freeze_super()
sync_filesystem()
ext4_sync_fs()
dquot_writeback_dquots()
Since we currently don't always flush the quota_release_work queue in
this path, we can end up with the following race:
1. dquot are added to releasing_dquots list during regular operations.
2. FS Freeze starts, however, this does not flush the quota_release_work queue.
3. Freeze completes.
4. Kernel eventually tries to flush the workqueue while FS is frozen which
hits a WARN_
nfsd: fix nfs4_openowner leak when concurrent nfsd4_open occur
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix nfs4_openowner leak when concurrent nfsd4_open occur
The action force umount(umount -f) will attempt to kill all rpc_task even
umount operation may ultimately fail if some files remain open.
Consequently, if an action attempts to open a file, it can potentially
send two rpc_task to nfs server.

net/sched: netem: account for backlog updates from child qdisc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: netem: account for backlog updates from child qdisc
In general, 'qlen' of any classful qdisc should keep track of the
number of packets that the qdisc itself and all of its children holds.
In case of netem, 'qlen' only accounts for the packets in its internal
tfifo. When netem is used with a child qdisc, the child qdisc can use
'qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog' to inform its parent, netem, about created
or dropped SKBs. This function updates 'qlen' and the backlog statistics
of netem, but netem does not account for changes made by a child qdisc.
'qlen' then indicates t
media: dvb-frontends: dib3000mb: fix uninit-value in dib3000_write_reg
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-frontends: dib3000mb: fix uninit-value in dib3000_write_reg
Syzbot reports [1] an uninitialized value issue found by KMSAN in
dib3000_read_reg().
Local u8 rb[2] is used in i2c_transfer() as a read buffer; in case
that call fails, the buffer may end up with some undefined values.
Since no elaborate error handling is expected in dib3000_write_reg(),
simply zero out rb buffer to mitigate the problem.

dmaengine: at_xdmac: avoid null_prt_deref in at_xdmac_prep_dma_memset
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: at_xdmac: avoid null_prt_deref in at_xdmac_prep_dma_memset
The at_xdmac_memset_create_desc may return NULL, which will lead to a
null pointer dereference. For example, the len input is error, or the
atchan->free_descs_list is empty and memory is exhausted. Therefore, add
check to avoid this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: s5p_cec: limit msg.len to CEC_MAX_MSG_SIZE
I expect that the hardware will have limited this to 16, but just in
case it hasn't, check for this corner case.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: fix freeing of the HMB descriptor table
The HMB descriptor table is sized to the maximum number of descriptors
that could be used for a given device, but __nvme_alloc_host_mem could
break out of the loop earlier on memory allocation failure and end up
using less descriptors than planned for, which leads to an incorrect
size passed to dma_free_coherent.
In practice this was not showing up because the number of descriptors
tends to be low and the dma coherent allocator always allocates and
frees at least a page.
scsi: qedf: Fix a possible memory leak in qedf_alloc_and_init_sb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qedf: Fix a possible memory leak in qedf_alloc_and_init_sb()
Hook "qed_ops->common->sb_init = qed_sb_init" does not release the DMA
memory sb_virt when it fails. Add dma_free_coherent() to free it. This
is the same way as qedr_alloc_mem_sb() and qede_alloc_mem_sb().
scsi: qedi: Fix a possible memory leak in qedi_alloc_and_init_sb()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qedi: Fix a possible memory leak in qedi_alloc_and_init_sb()
Hook "qedi_ops->common->sb_init = qed_sb_init" does not release the DMA
memory sb_virt when it fails. Add dma_free_coherent() to free it. This
is the same way as qedr_alloc_mem_sb() and qede_alloc_mem_sb().
fbdev: sh7760fb: Fix a possible memory leak in sh7760fb_alloc_mem()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sh7760fb: Fix a possible memory leak in sh7760fb_alloc_mem()
When information such as info->screen_base is not ready, calling
sh7760fb_free_mem() does not release memory correctly. Call
dma_free_coherent() instead.
rtc: check if __rtc_read_time was successful in rtc_timer_do_work()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: check if __rtc_read_time was successful in rtc_timer_do_work()
If the __rtc_read_time call fails,, the struct rtc_time tm; may contain
uninitialized data, or an illegal date/time read from the RTC hardware.
When calling rtc_tm_to_ktime later, the result may be a very large value
(possibly KTIME_MAX). If there are periodic timers in rtc->timerqueue,
they will continually expire, may causing kernel softlockup.
mfd: intel_soc_pmic_bxtwc: Use IRQ domain for TMU device
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: intel_soc_pmic_bxtwc: Use IRQ domain for TMU device
While design wise the idea of converting the driver to use
the hierarchy of the IRQ chips is correct, the implementation
has (inherited) flaws. This was unveiled when platform_get_irq()
had started WARN() on IRQ 0 that is supposed to be a Linux
IRQ number (also known as vIRQ).
Rework the driver to respect IRQ domain when creating each MFD
device separately, as the domain is not the same for all of them.
