REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem before 3.3.1 has some DoS vulnerabilities when it parses an XML that has many specific characters such as «. If you need to parse untrusted XMLs, you many be impacted to these vulnerabilities. The REXML gem 3.3.2 or later include the patches to fix these vulnerabilities. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid parsing untrusted XML strings.

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:

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
