In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
workqueue: Put the pwq after detaching the rescuer from the pool
The commit 68f83057b913("workqueue: Reap workers via kthread_stop() and
remove detach_completion") adds code to reap the normal workers but
mistakenly does not handle the rescuer and also removes the code waiting
for the rescuer in put_unbound_pool(), which caused a use-after-free bug
reported by Cheung Wall.
To avoid the use-after-free bug, the pool’s reference must be held until
the detachment is complete. Therefore, move the code that puts the pwq
after detaching the rescuer from the pool.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: fix memleak in certain XDP cases
If the XDP program doesn't result in XDP_PASS then we leak the
memory allocated by am65_cpsw_build_skb().
It is pointless to allocate SKB memory before running the XDP
program as we would be wasting CPU cycles for cases other than XDP_PASS.
Move the SKB allocation after evaluating the XDP program result.
This fixes the memleak. A performance boost is seen for XDP_DROP test.
XDP_DROP test:
Before: 460256 rx/s 0 err/s
After: 784130 rx/s 0 err/s
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: csum: Fix OoB access in IP checksum code for negative lengths
Commit 69e3a6aa6be2 ("LoongArch: Add checksum optimization for 64-bit
system") would cause an undefined shift and an out-of-bounds read.
Commit 8bd795fedb84 ("arm64: csum: Fix OoB access in IP checksum code
for negative lengths") fixes the same issue on ARM64.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: check vxlan_vnigroup_init() return value
vxlan_init() must check vxlan_vnigroup_init() success
otherwise a crash happens later, spotted by syzbot.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vrf: use RCU protection in l3mdev_l3_out()
l3mdev_l3_out() can be called without RCU being held:
raw_sendmsg()
ip_push_pending_frames()
ip_send_skb()
ip_local_out()
__ip_local_out()
l3mdev_ip_out()
Add rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock() pair to avoid
a potential UAF.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: rockchip: rkcanfd_handle_rx_fifo_overflow_int(): bail out if skb cannot be allocated
Fix NULL pointer check in rkcanfd_handle_rx_fifo_overflow_int() to
bail out if skb cannot be allocated.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: ctucanfd: handle skb allocation failure
If skb allocation fails, the pointer to struct can_frame is NULL. This
is actually handled everywhere inside ctucan_err_interrupt() except for
the only place.
Add the missed NULL check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE static
analysis tool.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: hub: Ignore non-compliant devices with too many configs or interfaces

The cause of this error is that the device has two interfaces, and the
hub driver binds to interface 1 instead of interface 0, which is where
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() looks.
We can prevent the problem from occurring by refusing to accept hub
devices that violate the USB spec by having more than one
configuration or interface.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Validate the persistent meta data subbuf array
The meta data for a mapped ring buffer contains an array of indexes of all
the subbuffers. The first entry is the reader page, and the rest of the
entries lay out the order of the subbuffers in how the ring buffer link
list is to be created.
The validator currently makes sure that all the entries are within the
range of 0 and nr_subbufs. But it does not check if there are any
duplicates.
While working on the ring buffer, I corrupted this array, where I added
duplicates. The validator did not catch it and created the ring buffer
link list on top of it. Luckily, the corruption was only that the reader
page was also in the writer path and only presented corrupted data but did
not crash the kernel. But if there were duplicates in the writer side,
then it could corrupt the ring buffer link list and cause a crash.
Create a bitmask array with the size of the number of subbuffers. Then
clear it. When walking through the subbuf array checking to see if the
entries are within the range, test if its bit is already set in the
subbuf_mask. If it is, then there is duplicates and fail the validation.
If not, set the corresponding bit and continue.
