In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cfg80211: fix race in netlink owner interface destruction
My previous fix here to fix the deadlock left a race where
the exact same deadlock (see the original commit referenced
below) can still happen if cfg80211_destroy_ifaces() already
runs while nl80211_netlink_notify() is still marking some
interfaces as nl_owner_dead.
The race happens because we have two loops here - first we
dev_close() all the netdevs, and then we destroy them. If we
also have two netdevs (first one need only be a wdev though)
then we can find one during the first iteration, close it,
and go to the second iteration -- but then find two, and try
to destroy also the one we didn't close yet.
Fix this by only iterating once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: use rcu-safe version of ipv6_get_lladdr()
Some time ago 8965779d2c0e ("ipv6,mcast: always hold idev->lock before mca_lock")
switched ipv6_get_lladdr() to __ipv6_get_lladdr(), which is rcu-unsafe
version. That was OK, because idev->lock was held for these codepaths.
In 88e2ca308094 ("mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU") these external locks were
removed, so we probably need to restore the original rcu-safe call.
Otherwise, we occasionally get a machine crashed/stalled with the following

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: remove vsock from connected table when connect is interrupted by a signal
vsock_connect() expects that the socket could already be in the
TCP_ESTABLISHED state when the connecting task wakes up with a signal
pending. If this happens the socket will be in the connected table, and
it is not removed when the socket state is reset. In this situation it's
common for the process to retry connect(), and if the connection is
successful the socket will be added to the connected table a second
time, corrupting the list.
Prevent this by calling vsock_remove_connected() if a signal is received
while waiting for a connection. This is harmless if the socket is not in
the connected table, and if it is in the table then removing it will
prevent list corruption from a double add.
Note for backporting: this patch requires d5afa82c977e ("vsock: correct
removal of socket from the list"), which is in all current stable trees
except 4.9.y.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iwlwifi: fix use-after-free
If no firmware was present at all (or, presumably, all of the
firmware files failed to parse), we end up unbinding by calling
device_release_driver(), which calls remove(), which then in
iwlwifi calls iwl_drv_stop(), freeing the 'drv' struct. However
the new code I added will still erroneously access it after it
was freed.
Set 'failure=false' in this case to avoid the access, all data
was already freed anyway.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-rdma: fix possible use-after-free in transport error_recovery work
While nvme_rdma_submit_async_event_work is checking the ctrl and queue
state before preparing the AER command and scheduling io_work, in order
to fully prevent a race where this check is not reliable the error
recovery work must flush async_event_work before continuing to destroy
the admin queue after setting the ctrl state to RESETTING such that
there is no race .submit_async_event and the error recovery handler
itself changing the ctrl state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix a possible use-after-free in controller reset during load
Unlike .queue_rq, in .submit_async_event drivers may not check the ctrl
readiness for AER submission. This may lead to a use-after-free
condition that was observed with nvme-tcp.
The race condition may happen in the following scenario:
1. driver executes its reset_ctrl_work
2. -> nvme_stop_ctrl - flushes ctrl async_event_work
3. ctrl sends AEN which is received by the host, which in turn
schedules AEN handling
4. teardown admin queue (which releases the queue socket)
5. AEN processed, submits another AER, calling the driver to submit
6. driver attempts to send the cmd
==> use-after-free
In order to fix that, add ctrl state check to validate the ctrl
is actually able to accept the AER submission.
This addresses the above race in controller resets because the driver
during teardown should:
1. change ctrl state to RESETTING
2. flush async_event_work (as well as other async work elements)
So after 1,2, any other AER command will find the
ctrl state to be RESETTING and bail out without submitting the AER.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free for aborted TMF sas_task
Currently a use-after-free may occur if a TMF sas_task is aborted before we
handle the IO completion in mpi_ssp_completion(). The abort occurs due to
timeout.
When the timeout occurs, the SAS_TASK_STATE_ABORTED flag is set and the
sas_task is freed in pm8001_exec_internal_tmf_task().
However, if the I/O completion occurs later, the I/O completion still
thinks that the sas_task is available. Fix this by clearing the ccb->task
if the TMF times out - the I/O completion handler does nothing if this
pointer is cleared.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free for aborted SSP/STP sas_task
Currently a use-after-free may occur if a sas_task is aborted by the upper
layer before we handle the I/O completion in mpi_ssp_completion() or
mpi_sata_completion().
In this case, the following are the two steps in handling those I/O
completions:
- Call complete() to inform the upper layer handler of completion of
the I/O.
- Release driver resources associated with the sas_task in
pm8001_ccb_task_free() call.
When complete() is called, the upper layer may free the sas_task. As such,
we should not touch the associated sas_task afterwards, but we do so in the
pm8001_ccb_task_free() call.
Fix by swapping the complete() and pm8001_ccb_task_free() calls ordering.
