This is because TFM is being used in parallel.
Fix this by allocating a new AEAD TFM for async decryption, but keep
the existing one for synchronous READ cases (similar to what is done
in smb3_calc_signature()).
Also remove the calls to aead_request_set_callback() and
crypto_wait_req() since it's always going to be a synchronous operation.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: Fix a NULL pointer dereference issue in fbcon_putcs
syzbot has found a NULL pointer dereference bug in fbcon.
Here is the simplified C reproducer:
struct param {
uint8_t type;
struct tiocl_selection ts;
};
int main()
{
struct fb_con2fbmap con2fb;
struct param param;
int fd = open("/dev/fb1", 0, 0);
con2fb.console = 0x19;
con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb);
param.type = 2;
param.ts.xs = 0; param.ts.ys = 0;
param.ts.xe = 0; param.ts.ye = 0;
param.ts.sel_mode = 0;
int fd1 = open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR, 0);
ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, ¶m);
con2fb.console = 1;
con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb);
return 0;
}
After calling ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, ¶m), the subsequent ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb)
causes the kernel to follow a different execution path:
set_con2fb_map
-> con2fb_init_display
-> fbcon_set_disp
-> redraw_screen
-> hide_cursor
-> clear_selection
-> highlight
-> invert_screen
-> do_update_region
-> fbcon_putcs
-> ops->putcs
Since ops->putcs is a NULL pointer, this leads to a kernel panic.
To prevent this, we need to call set_blitting_type() within set_con2fb_map()
to properly initialize ops->putcs.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointer before dereferencing se
[WHAT & HOW]
se is null checked previously in the same function, indicating
it might be null; therefore, it must be checked when used again.
This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: bus: Fix double free in driver API bus_register()
For bus_register(), any error which happens after kset_register() will
cause that @priv are freed twice, fixed by setting @priv with NULL after
the first free.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: uvc: Fix ERR_PTR dereference in uvc_v4l2.c
Fix potential dereferencing of ERR_PTR() in find_format_by_pix()
and uvc_v4l2_enum_format().
Fix the following smatch errors:
drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c:124 find_format_by_pix()
error: 'fmtdesc' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c:392 uvc_v4l2_enum_format()
error: 'fmtdesc' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
Also, fix similar issue in uvc_v4l2_try_format() for potential
dereferencing of ERR_PTR().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before
In polling mode, if no IRQ was requested there is no need to free it.
Call devm_free_irq() only if client->irq is set. This fixes the warning
caused by the tps6598x module removal:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too
Commit af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part
3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so
the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that
protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);"
call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the
reason why we do not see lots of these reports.
Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P.
Until the above is investigated, stay on the safe side and move this
dereference to the if too.
I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID 1585130. Thanks.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: Free tzp copy along with the thermal zone
The object pointed to by tz->tzp may still be accessed after being
freed in thermal_zone_device_unregister(), so move the freeing of it
to the point after the removal completion has been completed at which
it cannot be accessed any more.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: Reference count the zone in thermal_zone_get_by_id()
There are places in the thermal netlink code where nothing prevents
the thermal zone object from going away while being accessed after it
has been returned by thermal_zone_get_by_id().
To address this, make thermal_zone_get_by_id() get a reference on the
thermal zone device object to be returned with the help of get_device(),
under thermal_list_lock, and adjust all of its callers to this change
with the help of the cleanup.h infrastructure.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_conn: Fix UAF in hci_enhanced_setup_sync
This checks if the ACL connection remains valid as it could be destroyed
while hci_enhanced_setup_sync is pending on cmd_sync leading to the
following trace:
