In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: fix use-after-free in mwifiex_adapter_cleanup()
The mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() function uses timer_delete()
(non-synchronous) for the wakeup_timer before the adapter structure is
freed. This is incorrect because timer_delete() does not wait for any
running timer callback to complete.
If the wakeup_timer callback (wakeup_timer_fn) is executing when
mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() is called, the callback will continue to
access adapter fields (adapter->hw_status, adapter->if_ops.card_reset,
etc.) which may be freed by mwifiex_free_adapter() called later in the
mwifiex_remove_card() path.
Use timer_delete_sync() instead to ensure any running timer callback has
completed before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5: validate payload size before accessing journal metadata
r5c_recovery_analyze_meta_block() and
r5l_recovery_verify_data_checksum_for_mb() iterate over payloads in a
journal metadata block using on-disk payload size fields without
validating them against the remaining space in the metadata block.
A corrupted journal contains payload sizes extending beyond the PAGE_SIZE
boundary can cause out-of-bounds reads when accessing payload fields or
computing offsets.
Add bounds validation for each payload type to ensure the full payload
fits within meta_size before processing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nSVM: Avoid clearing VMCB_LBR in vmcb12
svm_copy_lbrs() always marks VMCB_LBR dirty in the destination VMCB.
However, nested_svm_vmexit() uses it to copy LBRs to vmcb12, and
clearing clean bits in vmcb12 is not architecturally defined.
Move vmcb_mark_dirty() to callers and drop it for vmcb12.
This also facilitates incoming refactoring that does not pass the entire
VMCB to svm_copy_lbrs().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs3: add buffer boundary checks to run_unpack()
run_unpack() checks `run_buf < run_last` at the top of the while loop
but then reads size_size and offset_size bytes via run_unpack_s64()
without verifying they fit within the remaining buffer. A crafted NTFS
image with truncated run data in an MFT attribute triggers an OOB heap
read of up to 15 bytes when the filesystem is mounted.
Add boundary checks before each run_unpack_s64() call to ensure the
declared field size does not exceed the remaining buffer.
Found by fuzzing with a source-patched harness (LibAFL + QEMU).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: atmel-sha204a - Fix potential UAF and memory leak in remove path
Unregister the hwrng to prevent new ->read() calls and flush the Atmel
I2C workqueue before teardown to prevent a potential UAF if a queued
callback runs while the device is being removed.
Drop the early return to ensure sysfs entries are removed and
->hwrng.priv is freed, preventing a memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: defio: Disconnect deferred I/O from the lifetime of struct fb_info
Hold state of deferred I/O in struct fb_deferred_io_state. Allocate an
instance as part of initializing deferred I/O and remove it only after
the final mapping has been closed. If the fb_info and the contained
deferred I/O meanwhile goes away, clear struct fb_deferred_io_state.info
to invalidate the mapping. Any access will then result in a SIGBUS
signal.
Fixes a long-standing problem, where a device hot-unplug happens while
user space still has an active mapping of the graphics memory. The hot-
unplug frees the instance of struct fb_info. Accessing the memory will
operate on undefined state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: nx - fix bounce buffer leaks in nx842_crypto_{alloc,free}_ctx
The bounce buffers are allocated with __get_free_pages() using
BOUNCE_BUFFER_ORDER (order 2 = 4 pages), but both the allocation error
path and nx842_crypto_free_ctx() release the buffers with free_page().
Use free_pages() with the matching order instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs3: fix integer overflow in run_unpack() volume boundary check
The volume boundary check `lcn + len > sbi->used.bitmap.nbits` uses raw
addition which can wrap around for large lcn and len values, bypassing
the validation. Use check_add_overflow() as is already done for the
adjacent prev_lcn + dlcn and vcn64 + len checks added by commit
3ac37e100385 ("ntfs3: Fix integer overflow in run_unpack()").
Found by fuzzing with a source-patched harness (LibAFL + QEMU).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmasm: fix heap over-read in ibmasm_send_i2o_message()
The ibmasm_send_i2o_message() function uses get_dot_command_size() to
compute the byte count for memcpy_toio(), but this value is derived from
user-controlled fields in the dot_command_header (command_size: u8,
data_size: u16) and is never validated against the actual allocation size.
A root user can write a small buffer with inflated header fields, causing
memcpy_toio() to read up to ~65 KB past the end of the allocation into
adjacent kernel heap, which is then forwarded to the service processor
over MMIO.
Silently clamping the copy size is not sufficient: if the header fields
claim a larger size than the buffer, the SP receives a dot command whose
own header is inconsistent with the I2O message length, which can cause
the SP to desynchronize. Reject such commands outright by returning
failure.
Validate command_size before calling get_mfa_inbound() to avoid leaking
an I2O message frame: reading INBOUND_QUEUE_PORT dequeues a hardware
frame from the controller's free pool, and returning without a
corresponding set_mfa_inbound() call would permanently exhaust it.
Additionally, clamp command_size to I2O_COMMAND_SIZE before the
memcpy_toio() so the MMIO write stays within the I2O message frame,
consistent with the clamping already performed by outgoing_message_size()
for the header field.
