In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: Fix reference count leak issue of net_device
There is a reference count leak issue of the object "net_device" in
ax25_dev_device_down(). When the ax25 device is shutting down, the
ax25_dev_device_down() drops the reference count of net_device one
or zero times depending on if we goto unlock_put or not, which will
cause memory leak.
In order to solve the above issue, decrease the reference count of
net_device after dev->ax25_ptr is set to null.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Discard command completions in internal error
Fix use after free when FW completion arrives while device is in
internal error state. Avoid calling completion handler in this case,
since the device will flush the command interface and trigger all
completions manually.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Add a timeout to acquire the command queue semaphore
Prevent forced completion handling on an entry that has not yet been
assigned an index, causing an out of bounds access on idx = -22.
Instead of waiting indefinitely for the sem, blocking flow now waits for
index to be allocated or a sem acquisition timeout before beginning the
timer for FW completion.
Kernel log example:
mlx5_core 0000:06:00.0: wait_func_handle_exec_timeout:1128:(pid 185911): cmd[-22]: CREATE_UCTX(0xa04) No done completion
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Reload only IB representors upon lag disable/enable
On lag disable, the bond IB device along with all of its
representors are destroyed, and then the slaves' representors get reloaded.
In case the slave IB representor load fails, the eswitch error flow
unloads all representors, including ethernet representors, where the
netdevs get detached and removed from lag bond. Such flow is inaccurate
as the lag driver is not responsible for loading/unloading ethernet
representors. Furthermore, the flow described above begins by holding
lag lock to prevent bond changes during disable flow. However, when
reaching the ethernet representors detachment from lag, the lag lock is
required again, triggering the following deadlock:

Thus, upon lag enable/disable, load and unload only the IB representors
of the slaves preventing the deadlock mentioned above.
While at it, refactor the mlx5_esw_offloads_rep_load() function to have
a static helper method for its internal logic, in symmetry with the
representor unload design.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: fix overwriting ct original tuple for ICMPv6
OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE has 3 main attributes:
- OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY - Packet metadata in a netlink format.
- OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PACKET - Binary packet content.
- OVS_PACKET_ATTR_ACTIONS - Actions to execute on the packet.
OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY is parsed first to populate sw_flow_key structure
with the metadata like conntrack state, input port, recirculation id,
etc. Then the packet itself gets parsed to populate the rest of the
keys from the packet headers.
Whenever the packet parsing code starts parsing the ICMPv6 header, it
first zeroes out fields in the key corresponding to Neighbor Discovery
information even if it is not an ND packet.
It is an 'ipv6.nd' field. However, the 'ipv6' is a union that shares
the space between 'nd' and 'ct_orig' that holds the original tuple
conntrack metadata parsed from the OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY.
ND packets should not normally have conntrack state, so it's fine to
share the space, but normal ICMPv6 Echo packets or maybe other types of
ICMPv6 can have the state attached and it should not be overwritten.
The issue results in all but the last 4 bytes of the destination
address being wiped from the original conntrack tuple leading to
incorrect packet matching and potentially executing wrong actions
in case this packet recirculates within the datapath or goes back
to userspace.
ND fields should not be accessed in non-ND packets, so not clearing
them should be fine. Executing memset() only for actual ND packets to
avoid the issue.
Initializing the whole thing before parsing is needed because ND packet
may not contain all the options.
The issue only affects the OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE path and doesn't
affect packets entering OVS datapath from network interfaces, because
in this case CT metadata is populated from skb after the packet is
already parsed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have at least eth header len bytes
syzbot triggered an uninit value[1] error in bridge device's xmit path
by sending a short (less than ETH_HLEN bytes) skb. To fix it check if
we can actually pull that amount instead of assuming.

The root cause: rdma_put_gid_attr is not called when sgid_attr is set
to ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_re: avoid shift undefined behavior in bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq
Undefined behavior is triggered when bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq is called
with hwq_attr->aux_depth != 0 and hwq_attr->aux_stride == 0.
In that case, "roundup_pow_of_two(hwq_attr->aux_stride)" gets called.
roundup_pow_of_two is documented as undefined for 0.
Fix it in the one caller that had this combination.
The undefined behavior was detected by UBSAN:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: module: add buffer overflow check in of_modalias()
In of_modalias(), if the buffer happens to be too small even for the 1st
snprintf() call, the len parameter will become negative and str parameter
(if not NULL initially) will point beyond the buffer's end. Add the buffer
overflow check after the 1st snprintf() call and fix such check after the
strlen() call (accounting for the terminating NUL char).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mana_ib: boundary check before installing cq callbacks
Add a boundary check inside mana_ib_install_cq_cb to prevent index overflow.
