In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: use RCU in ip6_output() Use RCU in ip6_output() in order to use dst_dev_rcu() to prevent possible UAF. We can remove rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs from ip6_finish_output2().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: EDAC/i10nm: Skip DIMM enumeration on a disabled memory controller When loading the i10nm_edac driver on some Intel Granite Rapids servers, a call trace may appear as follows: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/edac/skx_common.c:453:16 shift exponent -66 is negative ... __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x1e3/0x390 skx_get_dimm_info.cold+0x47/0xd40 [skx_edac_common] i10nm_get_dimm_config+0x23e/0x390 [i10nm_edac] skx_register_mci+0x159/0x220 [skx_edac_common] i10nm_init+0xcb0/0x1ff0 [i10nm_edac] ... This occurs because some BIOS may disable a memory controller if there aren't any memory DIMMs populated on this memory controller. The DIMMMTR register of this disabled memory controller contains the invalid value ~0, resulting in the call trace above. Fix this call trace by skipping DIMM enumeration on a disabled memory controller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PM / devfreq: mtk-cci: Fix potential error pointer dereference in probe() The drv->sram_reg pointer could be set to ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) which would lead to a error pointer dereference. Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to check that the pointer is valid.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: debugfs: Fix legacy mode page table dump logic In legacy mode, SSPTPTR is ignored if TT is not 00b or 01b.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: Intel: bytcr_rt5640: Fix invalid quirk input mapping When an invalid value is passed via quirk option, currently bytcr_rt5640 driver only shows an error message but leaves as is. This may lead to unepxected results like OOB access. This patch corrects the input mapping to the certain default value if an invalid value is passed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tls: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in get_netdev_for_sock(). get_netdev_for_sock() is called during setsockopt(), so not under RCU. Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF. Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu(). Note that the only ->ndo_sk_get_lower_dev() user is bond_sk_get_lower_dev(), which uses RCU.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add NULL pointer checks in dc_stream cursor attribute functions The function dc_stream_set_cursor_attributes() currently dereferences the `stream` pointer and nested members `stream->ctx->dc->current_state` without checking for NULL. All callers of these functions, such as in `dcn30_apply_idle_power_optimizations()` and `amdgpu_dm_plane_handle_cursor_update()`, already perform NULL checks before calling these functions. Fixes below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/core/dc_stream.c:336 dc_stream_program_cursor_attributes() error: we previously assumed 'stream' could be null (see line 334) drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/core/dc_stream.c 327 bool dc_stream_program_cursor_attributes( 328 struct dc_stream_state *stream, 329 const struct dc_cursor_attributes *attributes) 330 { 331 struct dc *dc; 332 bool reset_idle_optimizations = false; 333 334 ...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-throttle: fix access race during throttle policy activation On repeated cold boots we occasionally hit a NULL pointer crash in blk_should_throtl() when throttling is consulted before the throttle policy is fully enabled for the queue. Checking only q->td != NULL is insufficient during early initialization, so blkg_to_pd() for the throttle policy can still return NULL and blkg_to_tg() becomes NULL, which later gets dereferenced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI/pwrctrl: Fix double cleanup on devm_add_action_or_reset() failure When devm_add_action_or_reset() fails, it calls the passed cleanup function. Hence the caller must not repeat that cleanup. Replace the "goto err_regulator_free" by the actual freeing, as there will never be a need again for a second user of this label.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: dont report verifier bug for missing bpf_scc_visit on speculative path Syzbot generated a program that triggers a verifier_bug() call in maybe_exit_scc(). maybe_exit_scc() assumes that, when called for a state with insn_idx in some SCC, there should be an instance of struct bpf_scc_visit allocated for that SCC. Turns out the assumption does not hold for speculative execution paths. See example in the next patch. maybe_scc_exit() is called from update_branch_counts() for states that reach branch count of zero, meaning that path exploration for a particular path is finished. Path exploration can finish in one of three ways: a. Verification error is found. In this case, update_branch_counts() is called only for non-speculative paths. b. Top level BPF_EXIT is reached. Such instructions are never a part of an SCC, so compute_scc_callchain() in maybe_scc_exit() will return false, and maybe_scc_exit() will return earl...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: pcm: Disable bottom softirqs as part of spin_lock_irq() on PREEMPT_RT snd_pcm_group_lock_irq() acquires a spinlock_t and disables interrupts via spin_lock_irq(). This also implicitly disables the handling of softirqs such as TIMER_SOFTIRQ. On PREEMPT_RT softirqs are preemptible and spin_lock_irq() does not disable them. That means a timer can be invoked during spin_lock_irq() on the same CPU. Due to synchronisations reasons local_bh_disable() has a per-CPU lock named softirq_ctrl.lock which synchronizes individual softirq against each other. syz-bot managed to trigger a lockdep report where softirq_ctrl.lock is acquired in hrtimer_cancel() in addition to hrtimer_run_softirq(). This is a possible deadlock. The softirq_ctrl.lock can not be made part of spin_lock_irq() as this would lead to too much synchronisation against individual threads on the system. To avoid the possible deadlock, softirqs must be manually...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: Fix possible UAF on iso_conn_free This attempt to fix similar issue to sco_conn_free where if the conn->sk is not set to NULL may lead to UAF on iso_conn_free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast syzbot reported WARNING in rtl8150_start_xmit/usb_submit_urb. This is the sequence of events that leads to the warning: rtl8150_start_xmit() { netif_stop_queue(); usb_submit_urb(dev->tx_urb); } rtl8150_set_multicast() { netif_stop_queue(); netif_wake_queue();<-- wakes up TX queue before URB is done } rtl8150_start_xmit() { netif_stop_queue(); usb_submit_urb(dev->tx_urb);<-- double submission } rtl8150_set_multicast being the ndo_set_rx_mode callback should not be calling netif_stop_queue and notif_start_queue as these handle TX queue synchronization. The net core function dev_set_rx_mode handles the synchronization for rtl8150_set_multicast making it safe to remove these locks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in in smc_clc_prfx_set(). smc_clc_prfx_set() is called during connect() and not under RCU nor RTNL. Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF. Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dev_dst_rcu() under rcu_read_lock() after kernel_getsockname(). Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_set() is not used in the caller. While at it, we change the 1st arg of smc_clc_prfx_set[46]_rcu() not to touch dst there.
