In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dpll: fix pin dump crash for rebound module
When a kernel module is unbound but the pin resources were not entirely
freed (other kernel module instance of the same PCI device have had kept
the reference to that pin), and kernel module is again bound, the pin
properties would not be updated (the properties are only assigned when
memory for the pin is allocated), prop pointer still points to the
kernel module memory of the kernel module which was deallocated on the
unbind.
If the pin dump is invoked in this state, the result is a kernel crash.
Prevent the crash by storing persistent pin properties in dpll subsystem,
copy the content from the kernel module when pin is allocated, instead of
using memory of the kernel module.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mvpp2: clear BM pool before initialization
Register value persist after booting the kernel using
kexec which results in kernel panic. Thus clear the
BM pool registers before initialisation to fix the issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix potential sta-link leak
When a station is allocated, links are added but not
set to valid yet (e.g. during connection to an AP MLD),
we might remove the station without ever marking links
valid, and leak them. Fix that.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/lima: fix a memleak in lima_heap_alloc
When lima_vm_map_bo fails, the resources need to be deallocated, or
there will be memleaks.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: tc358743: register v4l2 async device only after successful setup
Ensure the device has been setup correctly before registering the v4l2
async device, thus allowing userspace to access.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: Fix release of pinned pages when __io_uaddr_map fails
Looking at the error path of __io_uaddr_map, if we fail after pinning
the pages for any reasons, ret will be set to -EINVAL and the error
handler won't properly release the pinned pages.
I didn't manage to trigger it without forcing a failure, but it can
happen in real life when memory is heavily fragmented.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcachefs: kvfree bch_fs::snapshots in bch2_fs_snapshots_exit
bch_fs::snapshots is allocated by kvzalloc in __snapshot_t_mut.
It should be freed by kvfree not kfree.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: fsl-qdma: Fix a memory leak related to the queue command DMA
This dma_alloc_coherent() is undone neither in the remove function, nor in
the error handling path of fsl_qdma_probe().
Switch to the managed version to fix both issues.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Fix regulators getting en-/dis-abled twice on suspend/resume
When not configured for wakeup lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() will call
lis3lv02d_poweroff() even if the device has already been turned off
by the runtime-suspend handler and if configured for wakeup and
the device is runtime-suspended at this point then it is not turned
back on to serve as a wakeup source.
Before commit b1b9f7a49440 ("misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Add missing setting
of the reg_ctrl callback"), lis3lv02d_poweroff() failed to disable
the regulators which as a side effect made calling poweroff() twice ok.
Now that poweroff() correctly disables the regulators, doing this twice
triggers a WARN() in the regulator core:
unbalanced disables for regulator-dummy
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 92 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2999 _regulator_disable
...
Fix lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() to not call poweroff() a second time if
already runtime-suspended and add a poweron() call when necessary to
make wakeup work.
lis3lv02d_i2c_resume() has similar issues, with an added weirness that
it always powers on the device if it is runtime suspended, after which
the first runtime-resume will call poweron() again, causing the enabled
count for the regulator to increase by 1 every suspend/resume. These
unbalanced regulator_enable() calls cause the regulator to never
be turned off and trigger the following WARN() on driver unbind:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1724 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2396 _regulator_put
Fix this by making lis3lv02d_i2c_resume() mirror the new suspend().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: ncm: Fix handling of zero block length packets
While connecting to a Linux host with CDC_NCM_NTB_DEF_SIZE_TX
set to 65536, it has been observed that we receive short packets,
which come at interval of 5-10 seconds sometimes and have block
length zero but still contain 1-2 valid datagrams present.
According to the NCM spec:
"If wBlockLength = 0x0000, the block is terminated by a
short packet. In this case, the USB transfer must still
be shorter than dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize. If
exactly dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize bytes are sent,
and the size is a multiple of wMaxPacketSize for the
given pipe, then no ZLP shall be sent.
wBlockLength= 0x0000 must be used with extreme care, because
of the possibility that the host and device may get out of
sync, and because of test issues.
wBlockLength = 0x0000 allows the sender to reduce latency by
starting to send a very large NTB, and then shortening it when
the sender discovers that there’s not sufficient data to justify
sending a large NTB"
However, there is a potential issue with the current implementation,
as it checks for the occurrence of multiple NTBs in a single
giveback by verifying if the leftover bytes to be processed is zero
or not. If the block length reads zero, we would process the same
NTB infintely because the leftover bytes is never zero and it leads
to a crash. Fix this by bailing out if block length reads zero.
