In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: ti-ads1298: Add NULL check in ads1298_init
devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure. A check on the
return value of such a call in ads1298_init() is missing. Add it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Fix sleeping in invalid context in die()
die() can be called in exception handler, and therefore cannot sleep.
However, die() takes spinlock_t which can sleep with PREEMPT_RT enabled.
That causes the following warning:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

Switch to use raw_spinlock_t, which does not sleep even with PREEMPT_RT
enabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fgraph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[]
In __ftrace_return_to_handler(), a loop iterates over the fgraph_array[]
elements, which are fgraph_ops. The loop checks if an element is a
fgraph_stub to prevent using a fgraph_stub afterward.
However, if the compiler reloads fgraph_array[] after this check, it might
race with an update to fgraph_array[] that introduces a fgraph_stub. This
could result in the stub being processed, but the stub contains a null
"func_hash" field, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
To ensure that the gops compared against the fgraph_stub matches the gops
processed later, add a READ_ONCE(). A similar patch appears in commit
63a8dfb ("function_graph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[]").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sctp: Prevent autoclose integer overflow in sctp_association_init()
While by default max_autoclose equals to INT_MAX / HZ, one may set
net.sctp.max_autoclose to UINT_MAX. There is code in
sctp_association_init() that can consequently trigger overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: guard XSK operations on the existence of queues
This patch predicates the enabling and disabling of XSK pools on the
existence of queues. As it stands, if the interface is down, disabling
or enabling XSK pools would result in a crash, as the RX queue pointer
would be NULL. XSK pool registration will occur as part of the next
interface up.
Similarly, xsk_wakeup needs be guarded against queues disappearing
while the function is executing, so a check against the
GVE_PRIV_FLAGS_NAPI_ENABLED flag is added to synchronize with the
disabling of the bit and the synchronize_net() in gve_turndown.

The Betheme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's custom JS functionality in all versions up to, and including, 27.6.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Social Share, Social Login and Social Comments Plugin – Super Socializer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Limited SQL Injection via the ‘SuperSocializerKey’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.14 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional values into the already existing query that can be used to extract user metadata from the database.

A potential denial of service vulnerability is present in versions of Apache CXF before 3.5.10, 3.6.5 and 4.0.6. In some edge cases, the CachedOutputStream instances may not be closed and, if backed by temporary files, may fill up the file system (it applies to servers and clients).

The WP-BibTeX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wp_bibtex_option_page() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
