We need original task's context to do cancellations, so if it's dying
and the callback is executed in a fallback mode, fail the cancellation
attempt.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: r8188eu: fix a memory leak in rtw_wx_read32()
Free "ptmp" before returning -EINVAL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8192e: Fix use after free in _rtl92e_pci_disconnect()
The free_rtllib() function frees the "dev" pointer so there is use
after free on the next line. Re-arrange things to avoid that.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: nexthop: fix null pointer dereference when IPv6 is not enabled
When we try to add an IPv6 nexthop and IPv6 is not enabled
(!CONFIG_IPV6) we'll hit a NULL pointer dereference[1] in the error path
of nh_create_ipv6() due to calling ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release. The bug
has been present since the beginning of IPv6 nexthop gateway support.
Commit 1aefd3de7bc6 ("ipv6: Add fib6_nh_init and release to stubs") tells
us that only fib6_nh_init has a dummy stub because fib6_nh_release should
not be called if fib6_nh_init returns an error, but the commit below added
a call to ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release in its error path. To fix it return
the dummy stub's -EAFNOSUPPORT error directly without calling
ipv6_stub->fib6_nh_release in nh_create_ipv6()'s error path.

Output is a bit truncated, but it clearly shows the error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: avoid bpf_prog refcount underflow
Ice driver has the routines for managing XDP resources that are shared
between ndo_bpf op and VSI rebuild flow. The latter takes place for
example when user changes queue count on an interface via ethtool's
set_channels().
There is an issue around the bpf_prog refcounting when VSI is being
rebuilt - since ice_prepare_xdp_rings() is called with vsi->xdp_prog as
an argument that is used later on by ice_vsi_assign_bpf_prog(), same
bpf_prog pointers are swapped with each other. Then it is also
interpreted as an 'old_prog' which in turn causes us to call
bpf_prog_put on it that will decrement its refcount.
Below splat can be interpreted in a way that due to zero refcount of a
bpf_prog it is wiped out from the system while kernel still tries to
refer to it:

scsi: mpt3sas: Fix kernel panic during drive powercycle test
While looping over shost's sdev list it is possible that one
of the drives is getting removed and its sas_target object is
freed but its sdev object remains intact.
Consequently, a kernel panic can occur while the driver is trying to access
the sas_address field of sas_target object without also checking the
sas_target object for NULL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
proc/vmcore: fix clearing user buffer by properly using clear_user()
To clear a user buffer we cannot simply use memset, we have to use
clear_user(). With a virtio-mem device that registers a vmcore_cb and
has some logically unplugged memory inside an added Linux memory block,
I can easily trigger a BUG by copying the vmcore via "cp":

Some x86-64 CPUs have a CPU feature called "Supervisor Mode Access
Prevention (SMAP)", which is used to detect wrong access from the kernel
to user buffers like this: SMAP triggers a permissions violation on
wrong access. In the x86-64 variant of clear_user(), SMAP is properly
handled via clac()+stac().
To fix, properly use clear_user() when we're dealing with a user buffer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/32: Fix hardlockup on vmap stack overflow
Since the commit c118c7303ad5 ("powerpc/32: Fix vmap stack - Do not
activate MMU before reading task struct") a vmap stack overflow
results in a hard lockup. This is because emergency_ctx is still
addressed with its virtual address allthough data MMU is not active
anymore at that time.
Fix it by using a physical address instead.
