In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/erdma: Prevent use-after-free in erdma_accept_newconn()
After the erdma_cep_put(new_cep) being called, new_cep will be freed,
and the following dereference will cause a UAF problem. Fix this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: Don't expose hw_counters outside of init net namespace
Commit 467f432a521a ("RDMA/core: Split port and device counter sysfs
attributes") accidentally almost exposed hw counters to non-init net
namespaces. It didn't expose them fully, as an attempt to read any of
those counters leads to a crash like this one:

The problem can be reproduced using the following steps:
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash
cat /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters/*
The panic occurs because of casting the device pointer into an
ib_device pointer using container_of() in hw_stat_device_show() is
wrong and leads to a memory corruption.
However the real problem is that hw counters should never been exposed
outside of the non-init net namespace.
Fix this by saving the index of the corresponding attribute group
(it might be 1 or 2 depending on the presence of driver-specific
attributes) and zeroing the pointer to hw_counters group for compat
devices during the initialization.
With this fix applied hw_counters are not available in a non-init
net namespace:
find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ -name hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/1/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/2/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash
find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ -name hw_counters

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handling when fork() fails in copy_page_range()
If track_pfn_copy() fails, we already added the dst VMA to the maple
tree. As fork() fails, we'll cleanup the maple tree, and stumble over
the dst VMA for which we neither performed any reservation nor copied
any page tables.
Consequently untrack_pfn() will see VM_PAT and try obtaining the
PAT information from the page table -- which fails because the page
table was not copied.
The easiest fix would be to simply clear the VM_PAT flag of the dst VMA
if track_pfn_copy() fails. However, the whole thing is about "simply"
clearing the VM_PAT flag is shaky as well: if we passed track_pfn_copy()
and performed a reservation, but copying the page tables fails, we'll
simply clear the VM_PAT flag, not properly undoing the reservation ...
which is also wrong.
So let's fix it properly: set the VM_PAT flag only if the reservation
succeeded (leaving it clear initially), and undo the reservation if
anything goes wrong while copying the page tables: clearing the VM_PAT
flag after undoing the reservation.
Note that any copied page table entries will get zapped when the VMA will
get removed later, after copy_page_range() succeeded; as VM_PAT is not set
then, we won't try cleaning VM_PAT up once more and untrack_pfn() will be
happy. Note that leaving these page tables in place without a reservation
is not a problem, as we are aborting fork(); this process will never run.
A reproducer can trigger this usually at the first try:

Keep the documentation of these functions in include/linux/pgtable.h,
one place is more than sufficient -- we should clean that up for the other
functions like track_pfn_remap/untrack_pfn separately.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix page_size variable overflow
Change all variables storing mlx5_umem_mkc_find_best_pgsz() result to
unsigned long to support values larger than 31 and avoid overflow.
For example: If we try to register 4GB of memory that is contiguous in
physical memory, the driver will optimize the page_size and try to use
an mkey with 4GB entity size. The 'unsigned int' page_size variable will
overflow to '0' and we'll hit the WARN_ON() in alloc_cacheable_mr().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Fix NULL dereference in SR-IOV VF creation error path
Clean up when virtfn setup fails to prevent NULL pointer dereference
during device removal. The kernel oops below occurred due to incorrect
error handling flow when pci_setup_device() fails.
Add pci_iov_scan_device(), which handles virtfn allocation and setup and
cleans up if pci_setup_device() fails, so pci_iov_add_virtfn() doesn't need
to call pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(). This prevents accessing
partially initialized virtfn devices during removal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: avoid NPD when ASIC does not support DMUB
ctx->dmub_srv will de NULL if the ASIC does not support DMUB, which is
tested in dm_dmub_sw_init.
However, it will be dereferenced in dmub_hw_lock_mgr_cmd if
should_use_dmub_lock returns true.
This has been the case since dmub support has been added for PSR1.
Fix this by checking for dmub_srv in should_use_dmub_lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/perf: Fix ref-counting on the PMU 'vpa_pmu'
Commit 176cda0619b6 ("powerpc/perf: Add perf interface to expose vpa
counters") introduced 'vpa_pmu' to expose Book3s-HV nested APIv2 provided
L1<->L2 context switch latency counters to L1 user-space via
perf-events. However the newly introduced PMU named 'vpa_pmu' doesn't
assign ownership of the PMU to the module 'vpa_pmu'. Consequently the
module 'vpa_pmu' can be unloaded while one of the perf-events are still
active, which can lead to kernel oops and panic of the form below on a
Pseries-LPAR:
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000058

<snip>
Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
Fix this by adding the module ownership to 'vpa_pmu' so that the module
'vpa_pmu' is ref-counted and prevented from being unloaded when perf-events
are initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: brcmstb: Fix error path after a call to regulator_bulk_get()
If the regulator_bulk_get() returns an error and no regulators
are created, we need to set their number to zero.
If we don't do this and the PCIe link up fails, a call to the
regulator_bulk_free() will result in a kernel panic.
While at it, print the error value, as we cannot return an error
upwards as the kernel will WARN() on an error from add_bus().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/gem: Fix error code msm_parse_deps()
The SUBMIT_ERROR() macro turns the error code negative. This extra '-'
operation turns it back to positive EINVAL again. The error code is
passed to ERR_PTR() and since positive values are not an IS_ERR() it
eventually will lead to an oops. Delete the '-'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: vchiq_arm: Fix possible NPR of keep-alive thread
In case vchiq_platform_conn_state_changed() is never called or fails before
driver removal, ka_thread won't be a valid pointer to a task_struct. So
do the necessary checks before calling kthread_stop to avoid a crash.
