In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix node corruption in ar->arvifs list
In current WLAN recovery code flow, ath11k_core_halt() only
reinitializes the "arvifs" list head. This will cause the
list node immediately following the list head to become an
invalid list node. Because the prev of that node still points
to the list head "arvifs", but the next of the list head "arvifs"
no longer points to that list node.
When a WLAN recovery occurs during the execution of a vif
removal, and it happens before the spin_lock_bh(&ar->data_lock)
in ath11k_mac_op_remove_interface(), list_del() will detect the
previously mentioned situation, thereby triggering a kernel panic.
The fix is to remove and reinitialize all vif list nodes from the
list head "arvifs" during WLAN halt. The reinitialization is to make
the list nodes valid, ensuring that the list_del() in
ath11k_mac_op_remove_interface() can execute normally.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: nand: ecc-mxic: Fix use of uninitialized variable ret
If ctx->steps is zero, the loop processing ECC steps is skipped,
and the variable ret remains uninitialized. It is later checked
and returned, which leads to undefined behavior and may cause
unpredictable results in user space or kernel crashes.
This scenario can be triggered in edge cases such as misconfigured
geometry, ECC engine misuse, or if ctx->steps is not validated
after initialization.
Initialize ret to zero before the loop to ensure correct and safe
behavior regardless of the ctx->steps value.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: QOS: Refactor TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callback
This patch addresses below issues,
1. Active traffic on the leaf node must be stopped before its send queue
is reassigned to the parent. This patch resolves the issue by marking
the node as 'Inner'.
2. During a system reboot, the interface receives TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL
and TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callbacks to delete its HTB queues.
In the case of TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST, although the same send queue
is reassigned to the parent, the current logic still attempts to update
the real number of queues, leadning to below warnings
New queues can't be registered after device unregistration.

When creating bpf program, 'fp->jit_requested' depends on bpf_jit_enable.
This issue is triggered because of CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set
and bpf_jit_enable is set to 1, causing the arch to attempt JIT the prog,
but jit failed due to FAULT_INJECTION. As a result, incorrectly
treats the program as valid, when the program runs it calls
`__bpf_prog_ret0_warn` and triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(1).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernfs: Relax constraint in draining guard
The active reference lifecycle provides the break/unbreak mechanism but
the active reference is not truly active after unbreak -- callers don't
use it afterwards but it's important for proper pairing of kn->active
counting. Assuming this mechanism is in place, the WARN check in
kernfs_should_drain_open_files() is too sensitive -- it may transiently
catch those (rightful) callers between
kernfs_unbreak_active_protection() and kernfs_put_active() as found out by Chen
Ridong:
kernfs_remove_by_name_ns kernfs_get_active // active=1
__kernfs_remove // active=0x80000002
kernfs_drain ...
wait_event
//waiting (active == 0x80000001)
kernfs_break_active_protection
// active = 0x80000001
// continue
kernfs_unbreak_active_protection
// active = 0x80000002
...
kernfs_should_drain_open_files
// warning occurs
kernfs_put_active
To avoid the false positives (mind panic_on_warn) remove the check altogether.
(This is meant as quick fix, I think active reference break/unbreak may be
simplified with larger rework.)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hisi_acc_vfio_pci: bugfix live migration function without VF device driver
If the VF device driver is not loaded in the Guest OS and we attempt to
perform device data migration, the address of the migrated data will
be NULL.
The live migration recovery operation on the destination side will
access a null address value, which will cause access errors.
Therefore, live migration of VMs without added VF device drivers
does not require device data migration.
In addition, when the queue address data obtained by the destination
is empty, device queue recovery processing will not be performed.

Tracepoint like trace_mmap_lock_acquire_returned may cause nested call
as the corner case show above, which will be resolved with more general
method in the future. As a result, WARN_ON_ONCE will be triggered. As
Alexei suggested, remove the WARN_ON_ONCE first.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: exit after state insertion failure at btrfs_convert_extent_bit()
If insert_state() state failed it returns an error pointer and we call
extent_io_tree_panic() which will trigger a BUG() call. However if
CONFIG_BUG is disabled, which is an uncommon and exotic scenario, then
we fallthrough and call cache_state() which will dereference the error
pointer, resulting in an invalid memory access.
So jump to the 'out' label after calling extent_io_tree_panic(), it also
makes the code more clear besides dealing with the exotic scenario where
CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: b53: do not enable EEE on bcm63xx
BCM63xx internal switches do not support EEE, but provide multiple RGMII
ports where external PHYs may be connected. If one of these PHYs are EEE
capable, we may try to enable EEE for the MACs, which then hangs the
system on access of the (non-existent) EEE registers.
Fix this by checking if the switch actually supports EEE before
attempting to configure it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fpga: fix potential null pointer deref in fpga_mgr_test_img_load_sgt()
fpga_mgr_test_img_load_sgt() allocates memory for sgt using
kunit_kzalloc() however it does not check if the allocation failed.
It then passes sgt to sg_alloc_table(), which passes it to
__sg_alloc_table(). This function calls memset() on sgt in an attempt to
zero it out. If the allocation fails then sgt will be NULL and the
memset will trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by checking the allocation with KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL().
