In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix driver shutdown on closed serdev
The driver shutdown callback (which sends EDL_SOC_RESET to the device
over serdev) should not be invoked when HCI device is not open (e.g. if
hci_dev_open_sync() failed), because the serdev and its TTY are not open
either. Also skip this step if device is powered off
(qca_power_shutdown()).
The shutdown callback causes use-after-free during system reboot with

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: fix NULL-deref in init error path
In cases where runtime services are not supported or have been disabled,
the runtime services workqueue will never have been allocated.
Do not try to destroy the workqueue unconditionally in the unlikely
event that EFI initialisation fails to avoid dereferencing a NULL
pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/surface: aggregator: Add missing call to ssam_request_sync_free()
Although rare, ssam_request_sync_init() can fail. In that case, the
request should be freed via ssam_request_sync_free(). Currently it is
leaked instead. Fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86/amd: Fix refcount leak in amd_pmc_probe
pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() takes reference, the caller should release
the reference by calling pci_dev_put() after use. Call pci_dev_put() in
the error path to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix macsec possible null dereference when updating MAC security entity (SecY)
Upon updating MAC security entity (SecY) in hw offload path, the macsec
security association (SA) initialization routine is called. In case of
extended packet number (epn) is enabled the salt and ssci attributes are
retrieved using the MACsec driver rx_sa context which is unavailable when
updating a SecY property such as encoding-sa hence the null dereference.
Fix by using the provided SA to set those attributes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: IPoIB, Block PKEY interfaces with less rx queues than parent
A user is able to configure an arbitrary number of rx queues when
creating an interface via netlink. This doesn't work for child PKEY
interfaces because the child interface uses the parent receive channels.
Although the child shares the parent's receive channels, the number of
rx queues is important for the channel_stats array: the parent's rx
channel index is used to access the child's channel_stats. So the array
has to be at least as large as the parent's rx queue size for the
counting to work correctly and to prevent out of bound accesses.
This patch checks for the mentioned scenario and returns an error when
trying to create the interface. The error is propagated to the user.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix command stats access after free
Command may fail while driver is reloading and can't accept FW commands
till command interface is reinitialized. Such command failure is being
logged to command stats. This results in NULL pointer access as command
stats structure is being freed and reallocated during mlx5 devlink
reload (see kernel log below).
Fix it by making command stats statically allocated on driver probe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Prevent use after free on completion memory
On driver unload any pending descriptors are flushed at the
time the interrupt is freed:
idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() ->
drv_disable_wq() ->
idxd_wq_free_irq() ->
idxd_flush_pending_descs().
If there are any descriptors present that need to be flushed this
flow triggers a "not present" page fault as below:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff391c97c70c9040
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
The address that triggers the fault is the address of the
descriptor that was freed moments earlier via:
drv_disable_wq()->idxd_wq_free_resources()
Fix the use after free by freeing the descriptors after any possible
usage. This is done after idxd_wq_reset() to ensure that the memory
remains accessible during possible completion writes by the device.

The Woo Inquiry plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 0.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter 'dbid' and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
