In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
brd: defer automatic disk creation until module initialization succeeds
My colleague Wupeng found the following problems during fault injection:

loop_init() is calling loop_add() after __register_blkdev() succeeds and
is ignoring disk_add() failure from loop_add(), for loop_add() failure
is not fatal and successfully created disks are already visible to
bdev_open().
brd_init() is currently calling brd_alloc() before __register_blkdev()
succeeds and is releasing successfully created disks when brd_init()
returns an error. This can cause UAF for the latter two case:
case 1:
T1:
modprobe brd
brd_init
brd_alloc(0) // success
add_disk
disk_scan_partitions
bdev_file_open_by_dev // alloc file
fput // won't free until back to userspace
brd_alloc(1) // failed since mem alloc error inject
// error path for modprobe will release code segment
// back to userspace
__fput
blkdev_release
bdev_release
blkdev_put_whole
bdev->bd_disk->fops->release // fops is freed now, UAF!
case 2:
T1: T2:
modprobe brd
brd_init
brd_alloc(0) // success
open(/dev/ram0)
brd_alloc(1) // fail
// error path for modprobe
close(/dev/ram0)
...
/* UAF! */
bdev->bd_disk->fops->release
Fix this problem by following what loop_init() does. Besides,
reintroduce brd_devices_mutex to help serialize modifications to
brd_list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: epf-mhi: Avoid NULL dereference if DT lacks 'mmio'
If platform_get_resource_byname() fails and returns NULL because DT lacks
an 'mmio' property for the MHI endpoint, dereferencing res->start will
cause a NULL pointer access. Add a check to prevent it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: pcrypt - Call crypto layer directly when padata_do_parallel() return -EBUSY
Since commit 8f4f68e788c3 ("crypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask for
PADATA_RESET"), the pcrypt encryption and decryption operations return
-EAGAIN when the CPU goes online or offline. In alg_test(), a WARN is
generated when pcrypt_aead_decrypt() or pcrypt_aead_encrypt() returns
-EAGAIN, the unnecessary panic will occur when panic_on_warn set 1.
Fix this issue by calling crypto layer directly without parallelization
in that case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: musb: Fix hardware lockup on first Rx endpoint request
There is a possibility that a request's callback could be invoked from
usb_ep_queue() (call trace below, supplemented with missing calls):
req->complete from usb_gadget_giveback_request
(drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:999)
usb_gadget_giveback_request from musb_g_giveback
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:147)
musb_g_giveback from rxstate
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:784)
rxstate from musb_ep_restart
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:1169)
musb_ep_restart from musb_ep_restart_resume_work
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:1176)
musb_ep_restart_resume_work from musb_queue_resume_work
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_core.c:2279)
musb_queue_resume_work from musb_gadget_queue
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:1241)
musb_gadget_queue from usb_ep_queue
(drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:300)
According to the docstring of usb_ep_queue(), this should not happen:
"Note that @req's ->complete() callback must never be called from within
usb_ep_queue() as that can create deadlock situations."
In fact, a hardware lockup might occur in the following sequence:
1. The gadget is initialized using musb_gadget_enable().
2. Meanwhile, a packet arrives, and the RXPKTRDY flag is set, raising an
interrupt.
3. If IRQs are enabled, the interrupt is handled, but musb_g_rx() finds an
empty queue (next_request() returns NULL). The interrupt flag has
already been cleared by the glue layer handler, but the RXPKTRDY flag
remains set.
4. The first request is enqueued using usb_ep_queue(), leading to the call
of req->complete(), as shown in the call trace above.
5. If the callback enables IRQs and another packet is waiting, step (3)
repeats. The request queue is empty because usb_g_giveback() removes the
request before invoking the callback.
6. The endpoint remains locked up, as the interrupt triggered by hardware
setting the RXPKTRDY flag has been handled, but the flag itself remains
set.
For this scenario to occur, it is only necessary for IRQs to be enabled at
some point during the complete callback. This happens with the USB Ethernet
gadget, whose rx_complete() callback calls netif_rx(). If called in the
task context, netif_rx() disables the bottom halves (BHs). When the BHs are
re-enabled, IRQs are also enabled to allow soft IRQs to be processed. The
gadget itself is initialized at module load (or at boot if built-in), but
the first request is enqueued when the network interface is brought up,
triggering rx_complete() in the task context via ioctl(). If a packet
arrives while the interface is down, it can prevent the interface from
receiving any further packets from the USB host.
The situation is quite complicated with many parties involved. This
particular issue can be resolved in several possible ways:
1. Ensure that callbacks never enable IRQs. This would be difficult to
enforce, as discovering how netif_rx() interacts with interrupts was
already quite challenging and u_ether is not the only function driver.
Similar "bugs" could be hidden in other drivers as well.
2. Disable MUSB interrupts in musb_g_giveback() before calling the callback
and re-enable them afterwars (by calling musb_{dis,en}able_interrupts(),
for example). This would ensure that MUSB interrupts are not handled
during the callback, even if IRQs are enabled. In fact, it would allow
IRQs to be enabled when releasing the lock. However, this feels like an
inelegant hack.
3. Modify the interrupt handler to clear the RXPKTRDY flag if the request
queue is empty. While this approach also feels like a hack, it wastes
CPU time by attempting to handle incoming packets when the software is
not ready to process them.
4. Flush the Rx FIFO instead of calling rxstate() in musb_ep_restart().
This ensures that the hardware can receive packets when there is at
least one request in the queue. Once I

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: clear XPRT_SOCK_UPD_TIMEOUT when reset transport
Since transport->sock has been set to NULL during reset transport,
XPRT_SOCK_UPD_TIMEOUT also needs to be cleared. Otherwise, the
xs_tcp_set_socket_timeouts() may be triggered in xs_tcp_send_request()
to dereference the transport->sock that has been set to NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: Check num_codecs is not zero to avoid panic during probe
Following commit 13f58267cda3 ("ASoC: soc.h: don't create dummy
Component via COMP_DUMMY()"), COMP_DUMMY() became an array with zero
length, and only gets populated with the dummy struct after the card is
registered. Since the sound card driver's probe happens before the card
registration, accessing any of the members of a dummy component during
probe will result in undefined behavior.
This can be observed in the mt8188 and mt8195 machine sound drivers. By
omitting a dai link subnode in the sound card's node in the Devicetree,
the default uninitialized dummy codec is used, and when its dai_name
pointer gets passed to strcmp() it results in a null pointer dereference
and a kernel panic.
In addition to that, set_card_codec_info() in the generic helpers file,
mtk-soundcard-driver.c, will populate a dai link with a dummy codec when
a dai link node is present in DT but with no codec property.
The result is that at probe time, a dummy codec can either be
uninitialized with num_codecs = 0, or be an initialized dummy codec,
with num_codecs = 1 and dai_name = "snd-soc-dummy-dai". In order to
accommodate for both situations, check that num_codecs is not zero
before accessing the codecs' fields but still check for the codec's dai
name against "snd-soc-dummy-dai" as needed.
While at it, also drop the check that dai_name is not null in the mt8192
driver, introduced in commit 4d4e1b6319e5 ("ASoC: mediatek: mt8192:
Check existence of dai_name before dereferencing"), as it is actually
redundant given the preceding num_codecs != 0 check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/riscv-aplic: Prevent crash when MSI domain is missing
If the APLIC driver is probed before the IMSIC driver, the parent MSI
domain will be missing, which causes a NULL pointer dereference in
msi_create_device_irq_domain().
Avoid this by deferring probe until the parent MSI domain is available. Use
dev_err_probe() to avoid printing an error message when returning
-EPROBE_DEFER.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: hdmi: Avoid hang with debug registers when suspended
Trying to read /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/hdmi1_regs
when the hdmi is disconnected results in a fatal system hang.
This is due to the pm suspend code disabling the dvp clock.
That is just a gate of the 108MHz clock in DVP_HT_RPI_MISC_CONFIG,
which results in accesses hanging AXI bus.
Protect against this.
