In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tcp: Fix socket memory leak in TCP-AO failure handling for IPv6
When tcp_ao_copy_all_matching() fails in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock() it just
exits the function. This ends up causing a memory-leak:
unreferenced object 0xffff0000281a8200 (size 2496):

This is because in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock (and the IPv4 counterpart), when
exiting upon error, inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() and tcp_done() need
to be called. They make sure the newsk will end up being correctly
free'd.
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() makes this very clear by having the put_and_exit
label that takes care of things. So, this patch here makes sure
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock and tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock have similar
error-handling and thus fixes the leak for TCP-AO.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix potential invalid access when MAC list is empty
list_first_entry() never returns NULL - if the list is empty, it still
returns a pointer to an invalid object, leading to potential invalid
memory access when dereferenced.
Fix this by using list_first_entry_or_null instead of list_first_entry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix NULL access of tx->in_use in ice_ll_ts_intr
Recent versions of the E810 firmware have support for an extra interrupt to
handle report of the "low latency" Tx timestamps coming from the
specialized low latency firmware interface. Instead of polling the
registers, software can wait until the low latency interrupt is fired.
This logic makes use of the Tx timestamp tracking structure, ice_ptp_tx, as
it uses the same "ready" bitmap to track which Tx timestamps complete.
Unfortunately, the ice_ll_ts_intr() function does not check if the
tracker is initialized before its first access. This results in NULL
dereference or use-after-free bugs similar to the issues fixed in the
ice_ptp_ts_irq() function.
Fix this by only checking the in_use bitmap (and other fields) if the
tracker is marked as initialized. The reset flow will clear the init field
under lock before it tears the tracker down, thus preventing any
use-after-free or NULL access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix NULL access of tx->in_use in ice_ptp_ts_irq
The E810 device has support for a "low latency" firmware interface to
access and read the Tx timestamps. This interface does not use the standard
Tx timestamp logic, due to the latency overhead of proxying sideband
command requests over the firmware AdminQ.
The logic still makes use of the Tx timestamp tracking structure,
ice_ptp_tx, as it uses the same "ready" bitmap to track which Tx
timestamps complete.
Unfortunately, the ice_ptp_ts_irq() function does not check if the tracker
is initialized before its first access. This results in NULL dereference or
use-after-free bugs similar to the following:
[245977.278756] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
[245977.278774] RIP: 0010:_find_first_bit+0x19/0x40
[245977.278796] Call Trace:
[245977.278809] ? ice_misc_intr+0x364/0x380 [ice]
This can occur if a Tx timestamp interrupt races with the driver reset
logic.
Fix this by only checking the in_use bitmap (and other fields) if the
tracker is marked as initialized. The reset flow will clear the init field
under lock before it tears the tracker down, thus preventing any
use-after-free or NULL access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Fix null pointer dereference for ndev
In the TX completion packet stage of TI SoCs with CPSW2G instance, which
has single external ethernet port, ndev is accessed without being
initialized if no TX packets have been processed. It results into null
pointer dereference, causing kernel to crash. Fix this by having a check
on the number of TX packets which have been processed.

If the software RoCE device is used, ibdev->dma_device is a null pointer.
As a result, the problem occurs. Null pointer detection is added to
prevent problems.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: mlx4: Fix IS_ERR() vs NULL check bug in mlx4_en_create_rx_ring
Replace NULL check with IS_ERR() check after calling page_pool_create()
since this function returns error pointers (ERR_PTR).
Using NULL check could lead to invalid pointer dereference.
