In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: Fix buffer overflow in print_cpu_stall_info()
The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the
buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference. The situation
might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about
time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case,
buffer overflow.
Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is
normally for signed integers. This is intentional for debugging purposes,
but it is not obvious from the code.
This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a
clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu-tasks: Fix show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread buffer overflow
There is a possibility of buffer overflow in
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() if counters, passed
to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this
are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still
possible.
Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ecryptfs: Fix buffer size for tag 66 packet
The 'TAG 66 Packet Format' description is missing the cipher code and
checksum fields that are packed into the message packet. As a result,
the buffer allocated for the packet is 3 bytes too small and
write_tag_66_packet() will write up to 3 bytes past the end of the
buffer.
Fix this by increasing the size of the allocation so the whole packet
will always fit in the buffer.
This fixes the below kasan slab-out-of-bounds bug:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: bcm - Fix pointer arithmetic
In spu2_dump_omd() value of ptr is increased by ciph_key_len
instead of hash_iv_len which could lead to going beyond the
buffer boundaries.
Fix this bug by changing ciph_key_len to hash_iv_len.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qedf: Ensure the copied buf is NUL terminated
Currently, we allocate a count-sized kernel buffer and copy count from
userspace to that buffer. Later, we use kstrtouint on this buffer but we
don't ensure that the string is terminated inside the buffer, this can
lead to OOB read when using kstrtouint. Fix this issue by using
memdup_user_nul instead of memdup_user.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: bfa: Ensure the copied buf is NUL terminated
Currently, we allocate a nbytes-sized kernel buffer and copy nbytes from
userspace to that buffer. Later, we use sscanf on this buffer but we don't
ensure that the string is terminated inside the buffer, this can lead to
OOB read when using sscanf. Fix this issue by using memdup_user_nul instead
of memdup_user.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kunit: Fix kthread reference
There is a race condition when a kthread finishes after the deadline and
before the call to kthread_stop(), which may lead to use after free.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: Avoid address calculations via out of bounds array indexing
Before request->channels[] can be used, request->n_channels must be set.
Additionally, address calculations for memory after the "channels" array
need to be calculated from the allocation base ("request") rather than
via the first "out of bounds" index of "channels", otherwise run-time
bounds checking will throw a warning.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix potential memory leakage when reading chip temperature
Without this commit, reading chip temperature will cause memory leakage.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Add BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB attach type enforcement in BPF_LINK_CREATE
bpf_prog_attach uses attach_type_to_prog_type to enforce proper
attach type for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB. link_create uses
bpf_prog_get and relies on bpf_prog_attach_check_attach_type
to properly verify prog_type <> attach_type association.
Add missing attach_type enforcement for the link_create case.
Otherwise, it's currently possible to attach cgroup_skb prog
types to other cgroup hooks.
