In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Fix IPIs usage in kfence_protect_page()
flush_tlb_kernel_range() may use IPIs to flush the TLBs of all the
cores, which triggers the following warning when the irqs are disabled:

So only flush the local TLB and let the lazy kfence page fault handling
deal with the faults which could happen when a core has an old protected
pte version cached in its TLB. That leads to potential inaccuracies which
can be tolerated when using kfence.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: check v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt when receiving proposal msg
When receiving proposal msg in server, the fields v2_ext_offset/
eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt in proposal msg are from the remote client
and can not be fully trusted. Especially the field v2_ext_offset,
once exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong
address, and crash may happen.
This patch checks the fields v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt
before using them.

This due to we have quiesced admi_q before cancel requests, but forgot
to unquiesce before destroy it, as a result we fail to drain the
pending requests, and hang on blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() forever. Here
try to reuse nvme_rdma_teardown_admin_queue() to fix this issue and
simplify the code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Prevent tailcall infinite loop caused by freplace
There is a potential infinite loop issue that can occur when using a
combination of tail calls and freplace.
In an upcoming selftest, the attach target for entry_freplace of
tailcall_freplace.c is subprog_tc of tc_bpf2bpf.c, while the tail call in
entry_freplace leads to entry_tc. This results in an infinite loop:
entry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc.
The problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to
zero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism
to never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic.
To fix this issue, the solution is twofold:
1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a
prog_array map.
2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map
with an freplace program.
This ensures that:
* If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program,
it can no longer be updated to a prog_array map.
* If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its
subprograms can be extended by an freplace program.
Moreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return
-EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a
prog_array map.
Additionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a
tab for proper formatting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: fix possible lkb_resource null dereference
This patch fixes a possible null pointer dereference when this function is
called from request_lock() as lkb->lkb_resource is not assigned yet,
only after validate_lock_args() by calling attach_lkb(). Another issue
is that a resource name could be a non printable bytearray and we cannot
assume to be ASCII coded.
The log functionality is probably never being hit when DLM is used in
normal way and no debug logging is enabled. The null pointer dereference
can only occur on a new created lkb that does not have the resource
assigned yet, it probably never hits the null pointer dereference but we
should be sure that other changes might not change this behaviour and we
actually can hit the mentioned null pointer dereference.
In this patch we just drop the printout of the resource name, the lkb id
is enough to make a possible connection to a resource name if this
exists.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to shrink read extent node in batches
We use rwlock to protect core structure data of extent tree during
its shrink, however, if there is a huge number of extent nodes in
extent tree, during shrink of extent tree, it may hold rwlock for
a very long time, which may trigger kernel hang issue.
This patch fixes to shrink read extent node in batches, so that,
critical region of the rwlock can be shrunk to avoid its extreme
long time hold.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinmux: Use sequential access to access desc->pinmux data
When two client of the same gpio call pinctrl_select_state() for the
same functionality, we are seeing NULL pointer issue while accessing
desc->mux_owner.
Let's say two processes A, B executing in pin_request() for the same pin
and process A updates the desc->mux_usecount but not yet updated the
desc->mux_owner while process B see the desc->mux_usecount which got
updated by A path and further executes strcmp and while accessing
desc->mux_owner it crashes with NULL pointer.
Serialize the access to mux related setting with a mutex lock.
cpu0 (process A) cpu1(process B)
pinctrl_select_state() { pinctrl_select_state() {
pin_request() { pin_request() {
...
....
} else {
desc->mux_usecount++;
desc->mux_usecount && strcmp(desc->mux_owner, owner)) {
if (desc->mux_usecount > 1)
return 0;
desc->mux_owner = owner;
} }

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: x86: Add adev NULL check to acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration()
acpi_dev_hid_match() does not check for adev == NULL, dereferencing
it unconditional.
Add a check for adev being NULL before calling acpi_dev_hid_match().
At the moment acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() is never called with
a controller_parent without an ACPI companion, but better safe than sorry.
