In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xtensa: xtfpga: Fix refcount leak bug in setup
In machine_setup(), of_find_compatible_node() will return a node
pointer with refcount incremented. We should use of_node_put() when
it is not used anymore.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: move bc link creation back to tipc_node_create
Shuang Li reported a NULL pointer dereference crash:
[] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000068
[] RIP: 0010:tipc_link_is_up+0x5/0x10 [tipc]
[] Call Trace:
[] <IRQ>
[] tipc_bcast_rcv+0xa2/0x190 [tipc]
[] tipc_node_bc_rcv+0x8b/0x200 [tipc]
[] tipc_rcv+0x3af/0x5b0 [tipc]
[] tipc_udp_recv+0xc7/0x1e0 [tipc]
It was caused by the 'l' passed into tipc_bcast_rcv() is NULL. When it
creates a node in tipc_node_check_dest(), after inserting the new node
into hashtable in tipc_node_create(), it creates the bc link. However,
there is a gap between this insert and bc link creation, a bc packet
may come in and get the node from the hashtable then try to dereference
its bc link, which is NULL.
This patch is to fix it by moving the bc link creation before inserting
into the hashtable.
Note that for a preliminary node becoming "real", the bc link creation
should also be called before it's rehashed, as we don't create it for
preliminary nodes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bonding: fix use-after-free after 802.3ad slave unbind
commit 0622cab0341c ("bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection"),
resolve case, when there is several aggregation groups in the same bond.
bond_3ad_unbind_slave will invalidate (clear) aggregator when
__agg_active_ports return zero. So, ad_clear_agg can be executed even, when
num_of_ports!=0. Than bond_3ad_unbind_slave can be executed again for,
previously cleared aggregator. NOTE: at this time bond_3ad_unbind_slave
will not update slave ports list, because lag_ports==NULL. So, here we
got slave ports, pointing to freed aggregator memory.
Fix with checking actual number of ports in group (as was before
commit 0622cab0341c ("bonding: fix 802.3ad aggregator reselection") ),
before ad_clear_agg().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM / devfreq: exynos-ppmu: Fix refcount leak in of_get_devfreq_events
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
This function only calls of_node_put() in normal path,
missing it in error paths.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix race on unaccepted mptcp sockets
When the listener socket owning the relevant request is closed,
it frees the unaccepted subflows and that causes later deletion
of the paired MPTCP sockets.
The mptcp socket's worker can run in the time interval between such delete
operations. When that happens, any access to msk->first will cause an UaF
access, as the subflow cleanup did not cleared such field in the mptcp
socket.
Address the issue explicitly traversing the listener socket accept
queue at close time and performing the needed cleanup on the pending
msk.
Note that the locking is a bit tricky, as we need to acquire the msk
socket lock, while still owning the subflow socket one.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
linux/dim: Fix divide by 0 in RDMA DIM
Fix a divide 0 error in rdma_dim_stats_compare() when prev->cpe_ratio ==
0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/netback: avoid entering xenvif_rx_next_skb() with an empty rx queue
xenvif_rx_next_skb() is expecting the rx queue not being empty, but
in case the loop in xenvif_rx_action() is doing multiple iterations,
the availability of another skb in the rx queue is not being checked.
This can lead to crashes:

Fix that by stopping the loop in case the rx queue becomes empty.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
srcu: Tighten cleanup_srcu_struct() GP checks
Currently, cleanup_srcu_struct() checks for a grace period in progress,
but it does not check for a grace period that has not yet started but
which might start at any time. Such a situation could result in a
use-after-free bug, so this commit adds a check for a grace period that
is needed but not yet started to cleanup_srcu_struct().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: ti: Fix refcount leak in ti_dra7_xbar_route_allocate
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not needed anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() in to fix this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: piix4: Fix a memory leak in the EFCH MMIO support
The recently added support for EFCH MMIO regions introduced a memory
leak in that code path. The leak is caused by the fact that
release_resource() merely removes the resource from the tree but does
not free its memory. We need to call release_mem_region() instead,
which does free the memory. As a nice side effect, this brings back
some symmetry between the legacy and MMIO paths.
