In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915: Fix memory leaks in i915 selftests This patch fixes memory leaks on error escapes in function fake_get_pages (cherry picked from commit 8bfbdadce85c4c51689da10f39c805a7106d4567)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: output extra debug info if we failed to find an inline backref [BUG] Syzbot reported several warning triggered inside lookup_inline_extent_backref(). [CAUSE] As usual, the reproducer doesn't reliably trigger locally here, but at least we know the WARN_ON() is triggered when an inline backref can not be found, and it can only be triggered when @insert is true. (I.e. inserting a new inline backref, which means the backre

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: srcu: Delegate work to the boot cpu if using SRCU_SIZE_SMALL Commit 994f706872e6 ("srcu: Make Tree SRCU able to operate without snp_node array") assumes that cpu 0 is always online. However, there really are situations when some other CPU is the boot CPU, for example, when booting a kdump kernel with the maxcpus=1 boot parameter. On PowerPC, the kdump kernel can hang as follows: ... [ 1.740036] systemd[1]: Hostname set to

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-core: fix dev_pm_qos memleak Call dev_pm_qos_hide_latency_tolerance() in the error unwind patch to avoid following kmemleak:- blktests (master) # kmemleak-clear; ./check nvme/044; blktests (master) # kmemleak-scan ; kmemleak-show nvme/044 (Test bi-directional authentication) [passed] runtime 2.111s ... 2.124s unreferenced object 0xffff888110c46240 (size 96): comm "nvme", pid 33461, jiffies 4345365

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: cdc_ncm: Deal with too low values of dwNtbOutMaxSize Currently in cdc_ncm_check_tx_max(), if dwNtbOutMaxSize is lower than the calculated "min" value, but greater than zero, the logic sets tx_max to dwNtbOutMaxSize. This is then used to allocate a new SKB in cdc_ncm_fill_tx_frame() where all the data is handled. For small values of dwNtbOutMaxSize the memory allocated during alloc_skb(dwNtbOutMaxSize, GFP_ATOMIC) will ha

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: codecs: wcd938x: fix missing mbhc init error handling MBHC initialisation can fail so add the missing error handling to avoid dereferencing an error pointer when later configuring the jack: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffffffffffff8 pc : wcd_mbhc_start+0x28/0x380 [snd_soc_wcd_mbhc] lr : wcd938x_codec_set_jack+0x28/0x48 [snd_soc_wcd938x] Call trace: wcd_mbhc_start+0x

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md: don't dereference mddev after export_rdev() Except for initial reference, mddev->kobject is referenced by rdev->kobject, and if the last rdev is freed, there is no guarantee that mddev is still valid. Hence mddev should not be used anymore after export_rdev(). This problem can be triggered by following test for mdadm at very low rate: New file: mdadm/tests/23rdev-lifetime devname=${dev0##*/} devt=`cat /sys/block/$devnam

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: OPP: Fix potential null ptr dereference in dev_pm_opp_get_required_pstate() "opp" pointer is dereferenced before the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check. Fix it by removing the dereference to cache opp_table and dereference it directly where opp_table is used. This fixes the following smatch warning: drivers/opp/core.c:232 dev_pm_opp_get_required_pstate() warn: variable dereferenced before IS_ERR check 'opp' (see line 230)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nSVM: Check instead of asserting on nested TSC scaling support Check for nested TSC scaling support on nested SVM VMRUN instead of asserting that TSC scaling is exposed to L1 if L1's MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO has diverged from KVM's default. Userspace can trigger the WARN at will by writing the MSR and then updating guest CPUID to hide the feature (modifying guest CPUID is allowed anytime before KVM_RUN). E.g. hacking KVM's s

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix memory leaks in ext4_fname_{setup_filename,prepare_lookup} If the filename casefolding fails, we'll be leaking memory from the fscrypt_name struct, namely from the 'crypto_buf.name' member. Make sure we free it in the error path on both ext4_fname_setup_filename() and ext4_fname_prepare_lookup() functions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnxt: avoid overflow in bnxt_get_nvram_directory() The value of an arithmetic expression is subject of possible overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger data type before performing arithmetic. Used macro for multiplication instead operator for avoiding overflow. Found by Security Code and Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: bcm-qspi: return error if neither hif_mspi nor mspi is available If neither a "hif_mspi" nor "mspi" resource is present, the driver will just early exit in probe but still return success. Apart from not doing anything meaningful, this would then also lead to a null pointer access on removal, as platform_get_drvdata() would return NULL, which it would then try to dereference when trying to unregister the spi master. Fix t

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: Don't tx before switchdev is fully configured There is possibility that ice_eswitch_port_start_xmit might be called while some resources are still not allocated which might cause NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by checking if switchdev configuration was finished.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drivers/perf: hisi: Don't migrate perf to the CPU going to teardown The driver needs to migrate the perf context if the current using CPU going to teardown. By the time calling the cpuhp::teardown() callback the cpu_online_mask() hasn't updated yet and still includes the CPU going to teardown. In current driver's implementation we may migrate the context to the teardown CPU and leads to the below calltrace: ... [ 368.104662]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcu: Avoid stack overflow due to __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() being kprobe-ed Registering a kprobe on __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() can cause kernel stack overflow as shown below. This issue can be reproduced by enabling CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and booting the kernel with argument "nohz_full=", and then giving the following commands at the shell prompt: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # echo 'p:mp1 __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick' >> kprob

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-af: Add validation before accessing cgx and lmac with the addition of new MAC blocks like CN10K RPM and CN10KB RPM_USX, LMACs are noncontiguous and CGX blocks are also noncontiguous. But during RVU driver initialization, the driver is assuming they are contiguous and trying to access cgx or lmac with their id which is resulting in kernel panic. This patch fixes the issue by adding proper checks. [ 23.219150] pc :

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: omapfb: lcd_mipid: Fix an error handling path in mipid_spi_probe() If 'mipid_detect()' fails, we must free 'md' to avoid a memory leak.
