In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix out-of-bound memcpy() during ethtool -w
When retrieving the FW coredump using ethtool, it can sometimes cause
memory corruption:
BUG: KFENCE: memory corruption in __bnxt_get_coredump+0x3ef/0x670 [bnxt_en]
Corrupted memory at 0x000000008f0f30e8 [ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ] (in kfence-#45):
__bnxt_get_coredump+0x3ef/0x670 [bnxt_en]

__x64_sys_ioctl+0x87/0xc0
do_syscall_64+0x5c/0xf0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x78/0x80
...
This happens when copying the coredump segment list in
bnxt_hwrm_dbg_dma_data() with the HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_LIST FW command.
The info->dest_buf buffer is allocated based on the number of coredump
segments returned by the FW. The segment list is then DMA'ed by
the FW and the length of the DMA is returned by FW. The driver then
copies this DMA'ed segment list to info->dest_buf.
In some cases, this DMA length may exceed the info->dest_buf length
and cause the above BUG condition. Fix it by capping the copy
length to not exceed the length of info->dest_buf. The extra
DMA data contains no useful information.
This code path is shared for the HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_LIST and the
HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_RETRIEVE FW commands. The buffering is different
for these 2 FW commands. To simplify the logic, we need to move
the line to adjust the buffer length for HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_RETRIEVE
up, so that the new check to cap the copy length will work for both
commands.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: qfq: Fix double list add in class with netem as child qdisc
As described in Gerrard's report [1], there are use cases where a netem
child qdisc will make the parent qdisc's enqueue callback reentrant.
In the case of qfq, there won't be a UAF, but the code will add the same
classifier to the list twice, which will cause memory corruption.
This patch checks whether the class was already added to the agg->active
list (cl_is_active) before doing the addition to cater for the reentrant
case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix slab-use-after-free in hdcp
The HDCP code in amdgpu_dm_hdcp.c copies pointers to amdgpu_dm_connector
objects without incrementing the kref reference counts. When using a
USB-C dock, and the dock is unplugged, the corresponding
amdgpu_dm_connector objects are freed, creating dangling pointers in the
HDCP code. When the dock is plugged back, the dangling pointers are
dereferenced, resulting in a slab-use-after-free:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: inftlcore: Add error check for inftl_read_oob()
In INFTL_findwriteunit(), the return value of inftl_read_oob()
need to be checked. A proper implementation can be
found in INFTL_deleteblock(). The status will be set as
SECTOR_IGNORE to break from the while-loop correctly
if the inftl_read_oob() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class with netem as child qdisc
As described in Gerrard's report [1], we have a UAF case when an hfsc class
has a netem child qdisc. The crux of the issue is that hfsc is assuming
that checking for cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 guarantees that it hasn't inserted
the class in the vttree or eltree (which is not true for the netem
duplicate case).
This patch checks the n_active class variable to make sure that the code
won't insert the class in the vttree or eltree twice, catering for the
reentrant case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dw2102: Fix null-ptr-deref in dw2102_i2c_transfer()
In dw2102_i2c_transfer, msg is controlled by user. When msg[i].buf
is null and msg[i].len is zero, former checks on msg[i].buf would be
passed. Malicious data finally reach dw2102_i2c_transfer. If accessing
msg[i].buf[0] without sanity check, null ptr deref would happen.
We add check on msg[i].len to prevent crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btsdio: fix use after free bug in btsdio_remove due to race condition
In btsdio_probe, the data->work is bound with btsdio_work. It will be
started in btsdio_send_frame.
If the btsdio_remove runs with a unfinished work, there may be a race
condition that hdev is freed but used in btsdio_work. Fix it by
canceling the work before do cleanup in btsdio_remove.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix WARN_ON(!ctx) in __free_event() for partial init
Move the get_ctx(child_ctx) call and the child_event->ctx assignment to
occur immediately after the child event is allocated. Ensure that
child_event->ctx is non-NULL before any subsequent error path within
inherit_event calls free_event(), satisfying the assumptions of the
cleanup code.
Details:
There's no clear Fixes tag, because this bug is a side-effect of
multiple interacting commits over time (up to 15 years old), not
a single regression.
The code initially incremented refcount then assigned context
immediately after the child_event was created. Later, an early
validity check for child_event was added before the
refcount/assignment. Even later, a WARN_ON_ONCE() cleanup check was
added, assuming event->ctx is valid if the pmu_ctx is valid.
The problem is that the WARN_ON_ONCE() could trigger after the initial
check passed but before child_event->ctx was assigned, violating its
precondition. The solution is to assign child_event->ctx right after
its initial validation. This ensures the context exists for any
subsequent checks or cleanup routines, resolving the WARN_ON_ONCE().
To resolve it, defer the refcount update and child_event->ctx assignment
directly after child_event->pmu_ctx is set but before checking if the
parent event is orphaned. The cleanup routine depends on
event->pmu_ctx being non-NULL before it verifies event->ctx is
non-NULL. This also maintains the author's original intent of passing
in child_ctx to find_get_pmu_context before its refcount/assignment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
9p/net: fix improper handling of bogus negative read/write replies
In p9_client_write() and p9_client_read_once(), if the server
incorrectly replies with success but a negative write/read count then we
would consider written (negative) <= rsize (positive) because both
variables were signed.
Make variables unsigned to avoid this problem.
The reproducer linked below now fails with the following error instead
of a null pointer deref:
9pnet: bogus RWRITE count (4294967295 > 3)
