| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udmabuf: Set ubuf->sg = NULL if the creation of sg table fails
When userspace tries to map the dmabuf and if for some reason
(e.g. OOM) the creation of the sg table fails, ubuf->sg needs to be
set to NULL. Otherwise, when the userspace subsequently closes the
dmabuf fd, we'd try to erroneously free the invalid sg table from
release_udmabuf resulting in the following crash reported by syzbot:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

dmc620_pmu_init() won't remove the callback added by
cpuhp_setup_state_multi() when platform_driver_register() failed. Remove
the callback by cpuhp_remove_multi_state() in fail path.

clk: zynqmp: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy`
"BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy+0x30/0x68"
Linux-ATF interface is using 16 bytes of SMC payload. In case clock name is
longer than 15 bytes, string terminated NULL character will not be received
by Linux. Add explicit NULL character at last byte to fix issues when clock
name is longer.
This fixes below bug reported by KASAN:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: OMAP2+: Fix memory leak in realtime_counter_init()
The "sys_clk" resource is malloced by clk_get(),
it is not released when the function return. |

cpufreq: qcom: fix memory leak in error path
If for some reason the speedbin length is incorrect, then there is a
memory leak in the error path because we never free the speedbin buffer.
This commit fixes the error path to always free the speedbin buffer. |

vdpa/vp_vdpa: fix kfree a wrong pointer in vp_vdpa_remove
In vp_vdpa_remove(), the code kfree(&vp_vdpa_mgtdev->mgtdev.id_table) uses
a reference of pointer as the argument of kfree, which is the wrong pointer
and then may hit crash like this:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: Fix use-after-free in ath9k_hif_usb_reg_in_cb()
It is possible that skb is freed in ath9k_htc_rx_msg(), then
usb_submit_urb() fails and we try to free skb again. It causes
use-after-free bug. Moreover, if alloc_skb() fails, urb->context becomes
NULL but rx_buf is not freed and there can be a memory leak.
The patch removes unnecessary nskb and makes skb processing more clear: it
is supposed that ath9k_htc_rx_msg() either frees old skb or passes its
managing to another callback function.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
auxdisplay: hd44780: Fix potential memory leak in hd44780_remove()
hd44780_probe() allocates a memory chunk for hd with kzalloc() and
makes "lcd->drvdata->hd44780" point to it. When we call hd44780_remove(),
we should release all relevant memory and resource. But "lcd->drvdata
->hd44780" is not released, which will lead to a memory leak.
We should release the "lcd->drvdata->hd44780" in hd44780_remove() to fix
the memory leak bug. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/erdma: Fix refcount leak in erdma_mmap
rdma_user_mmap_entry_get() take reference, we should release it when not
need anymore, add the missing rdma_user_mmap_entry_put() in the error
path to fix it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: x86: s2idle: Catch multiple ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE objects
If a badly constructed firmware includes multiple `ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE`
objects while evaluating the AMD LPS0 _DSM, there will be a memory
leak. Explicitly guard against this. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: overlay: fix null pointer dereferencing in find_dup_cset_node_entry() and find_dup_cset_prop()
When kmalloc() fail to allocate memory in kasprintf(), fn_1 or fn_2 will
be NULL, and strcmp() will cause null pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wilc1000: fix potential memory leak in wilc_mac_xmit()
The wilc_mac_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb, add
dev_kfree_skb() to fix it. Compile tested only. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: use hdev->workqueue when queuing hdev->{cmd,ncmd}_timer works
syzbot is reporting attempt to schedule hdev->cmd_work work from system_wq
WQ into hdev->workqueue WQ which is under draining operation [1], for
commit c8efcc2589464ac7 ("workqueue: allow chained queueing during
destruction") does not allow such operation.
The check introduced by commit 877afadad2dce8aa ("Bluetooth: When HCI work
queue is drained, only queue chained work") was incomplete.
Use hdev->workqueue WQ when queuing hdev->{cmd,ncmd}_timer works because
hci_{cmd,ncmd}_timeout() calls queue_work(hdev->workqueue). Also, protect
the queuing operation with RCU read lock in order to avoid calling
queue_delayed_work() after cancel_delayed_work() completed. |

There are some struct drm_driver fields that are required by drivers since
drm_copy_field() attempts to copy them to user-space via DRM_IOCTL_VERSION.
But it can be possible that a driver has a bug and did not set some of the
fields, which leads to drm_copy_field() attempting to copy a NULL pointer:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-timers: Ensure timer ID search-loop limit is valid
posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the
cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation.
This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by
one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the
starting point.
But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out
lockless, which leads to the following problem:
CPU0 CPU1
posix_timer_add()
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
lock(hash_lock);
... posix_timer_add()
if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0)
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
sig->posix_timer_id = 0;
So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break
never happens because the condition can never be true:
if (sig->posix_timer_id == start)
break;
While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is
huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of
KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness.
Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: ti: pm33xx: Fix refcount leak in am33xx_pm_probe
wkup_m3_ipc_get() takes refcount, which should be freed by
wkup_m3_ipc_put(). Add missing refcount release in the error paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: vector: Fix memory leak in vector_config
If the return value of the uml_parse_vector_ifspec function is NULL,
we should call kfree(params) to prevent memory leak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/vfio-ap: fix memory leak in vfio_ap device driver
The device release callback function invoked to release the matrix device
uses the dev_get_drvdata(device *dev) function to retrieve the
pointer to the vfio_matrix_dev object in order to free its storage. The
problem is, this object is not stored as drvdata with the device; since the
kfree function will accept a NULL pointer, the memory for the
vfio_matrix_dev object is never freed.
Since the device being released is contained within the vfio_matrix_dev
object, the container_of macro will be used to retrieve its pointer. |
