In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: core: remove lock of otg mode during gadget suspend/resume to avoid deadlock
When config CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE is selected, and trigger system
to enter suspend status with below command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
There will be a deadlock issue occurring. Detailed invoking path as
below:
dwc3_suspend_common()
spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags); <-- 1st
dwc3_gadget_suspend(dwc);
dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect(dwc);
spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags); <-- 2nd
This issue is exposed by commit c7ebd8149ee5 ("usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix
NULL pointer dereference in dwc3_gadget_suspend") that removes the code
of checking whether dwc->gadget_driver is NULL or not. It causes the
following code is executed and deadlock occurs when trying to get the
spinlock. In fact, the root cause is the commit 5265397f9442("usb: dwc3:
Remove DWC3 locking during gadget suspend/resume") that forgot to remove
the lock of otg mode. So, remove the redundant lock of otg mode during
gadget suspend/resume.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: set priv->pdev before using it
priv->pdev pointer was set after being used in
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init().
Move this assignment at the start of the probe function, so
sub-functions can correctly use pdev through priv.
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init() dereferences priv->pdev to get access to the
dev struct, used with dev_err macros.
As priv is zero-initialised, there would be a NULL pointer dereference.
Note that if priv->dev is dereferenced before assignment but never used,
for example if there is no error to be printed, the driver won't crash
probably due to compiler optimisations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER
In create_pinctrl(), pinctrl_maps_mutex is acquired before calling
add_setting(). If add_setting() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, create_pinctrl()
calls pinctrl_free(). However, pinctrl_free() attempts to acquire
pinctrl_maps_mutex, which is already held by create_pinctrl(), leading to
a potential deadlock.
This patch resolves the issue by releasing pinctrl_maps_mutex before
calling pinctrl_free(), preventing the deadlock.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix DIO failure due to insufficient transaction credits
The code in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() estimates number of necessary
transaction credits using ocfs2_calc_extend_credits(). This however does
not take into account that the IO could be arbitrarily large and can
contain arbitrary number of extents.
Extent tree manipulations do often extend the current transaction but not
in all of the cases. For example if we have only single block extents in
the tree, ocfs2_mark_extent_written() will end up calling
ocfs2_replace_extent_rec() all the time and we will never extend the
current transaction and eventually exhaust all the transaction credits if
the IO contains many single block extents. Once that happens a
WARN_ON(jbd2_handle_buffer_credits(handle) <= 0) is triggered in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() and subsequently OCFS2 aborts in response to
this error. This was actually triggered by one of our customers on a
heavily fragmented OCFS2 filesystem.
To fix the issue make sure the transaction always has enough credits for
one extent insert before each call of ocfs2_mark_extent_written().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: initialise nfsd_info.mutex early.
nfsd_info.mutex can be dereferenced by svc_pool_stats_start()
immediately after the new netns is created. Currently this can
trigger an oops.
Move the initialisation earlier before it can possibly be dereferenced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Fix NULL pointer dereference in gfs2_log_flush
In gfs2_jindex_free(), set sdp->sd_jdesc to NULL under the log flush
lock to provide exclusion against gfs2_log_flush().
In gfs2_log_flush(), check if sdp->sd_jdesc is non-NULL before
dereferencing it. Otherwise, we could run into a NULL pointer
dereference when outstanding glock work races with an unmount
(glock_work_func -> run_queue -> do_xmote -> inode_go_sync ->
gfs2_log_flush).

RDMA/restrack: Fix potential invalid address access
struct rdma_restrack_entry's kern_name was set to KBUILD_MODNAME
in ib_create_cq(), while if the module exited but forgot del this
rdma_restrack_entry, it would cause a invalid address access in
rdma_restrack_clean() when print the owner of this rdma_restrack_entry.
These code is used to help find one forgotten PD release in one of the
ULPs. But it is not needed anymore, so delete them.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xdp: Remove WARN() from __xdp_reg_mem_model()
syzkaller reports a warning in __xdp_reg_mem_model().
The warning occurs only if __mem_id_init_hash_table() returns an error. It
returns the error in two cases:
1. memory allocation fails;
2. rhashtable_init() fails when some fields of rhashtable_params
struct are not initialized properly.
The second case cannot happen since there is a static const rhashtable_params
struct with valid fields. So, warning is only triggered when there is a
problem with memory allocation.
Thus, there is no sense in using WARN() to handle this error and it can be
safely removed.
