In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ethernet: Fix error handling in xemaclite_of_probe

This node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount
incremented in this function. Calling of_node_put() to avoid the
refcount leak. As the remove function do.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: marvell: prestera: Add missing of_node_put() in prestera_switch_set_base_mac_addr

This node pointer is returned by of_find_compatible_node() with
refcount incremented. Calling of_node_put() to aovid the refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5: Fix a race on command flush flow

Fix a refcount use after free warning due to a race on command entry.
Such race occurs when one of the commands releases its last refcount and
frees its index and entry while another process running command flush
flow takes refcount to this command entry. The process which handles
commands flush may see this command as needed to be flushed if the other
process released its refcount but didn't release the index yet. Fix it
by adding the needed spin lock.

It fixes the following warning trace:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the affected products which could allow a malicious user with basic privileges to access functions which should only be available to users with administrative level privileges. If exploited, an attacker could read sensitive data, and create users. For example, a malicious user with basic privileges could perform critical functions such as creating a user with elevated privileges and reading sensitive information in the “views” section.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: hid-thrustmaster: fix OOB read in thrustmaster_interrupts

Syzbot reported an slab-out-of-bounds Read in thrustmaster_probe() bug.
The root case is in missing validation check of actual number of endpoints.

Code should not blindly access usb_host_interface::endpoint array, since
it may contain less endpoints than code expects.

Fix it by adding missing validaion check and print an error if
number of endpoints do not match expected number

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tipc: fix kernel panic when enabling bearer

When enabling a bearer on a node, a kernel panic is observed:

The node in question is receiving activate messages in another

receiving in current thread:

Monitoring pointer in thread 2 is dereferenced before monitoring data
is allocated in thread 1. This causes kernel panic.

This commit fixes it by allocating the monitoring data before enabling
the bearer to receive messages.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vdpa/mlx5: add validation for VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET command

When control vq receives a VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET command
request from the driver, presently there is no validation against the
number of queue pairs to configure, or even if multiqueue had been
negotiated or not is unverified. This may lead to kernel panic due to
uninitialized resource for the queues were there any bogus request
sent down by untrusted driver. Tie up the loose ends there.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mISDN: Fix memory leak in dsp_pipeline_build()

dsp_pipeline_build() allocates dup pointer by kstrdup(cfg),
but then it updates dup variable by strsep(&dup, "|").
As a result when it calls kfree(dup), the dup variable contains NULL.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vdpa: fix use-after-free on vp_vdpa_remove

When vp_vdpa driver is unbind, vp_vdpa is freed in vdpa_unregister_device
and then vp_vdpa->mdev.pci_dev is dereferenced in vp_modern_remove,
triggering use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries

In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when
start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen
is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0
(vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0,
last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent,
iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.

Call Trace:

Reported by syzbot at:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=0abd373e2e50d704db87

To fix this, do two things:

1. Return -EINVAL in vhost_chr_write_iter() when userspace asks to map
a range with size 0.
2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
by splitting it into two entries.
