In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: fix race condition by adding filter's intermediate sync state
Fix a race condition in the i40e driver that leads to MAC/VLAN filters
becoming corrupted and leaking. Address the issue that occurs under
heavy load when multiple threads are concurrently modifying MAC/VLAN
filters by setting mac and port VLAN.
1. Thread T0 allocates a filter in i40e_add_filter() within
i40e_ndo_set_vf_port_vlan().
2. Thread T1 concurrently frees the filter in __i40e_del_filter() within
i40e_ndo_set_vf_mac().
3. Subsequently, i40e_service_task() calls i40e_sync_vsi_filters(), which
refers to the already freed filter memory, causing corruption.
Reproduction steps:
1. Spawn multiple VFs.
2. Apply a concurrent heavy load by running parallel operations to change
MAC addresses on the VFs and change port VLANs on the host.
3. Observe errors in dmesg:
"Error I40E_AQ_RC_ENOSPC adding RX filters on VF XX,
please set promiscuous on manually for VF XX".
Exact code for stable reproduction Intel can't open-source now.
The fix involves implementing a new intermediate filter state,
I40E_FILTER_NEW_SYNC, for the time when a filter is on a tmp_add_list.
These filters cannot be deleted from the hash list directly but
must be removed using the full process.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvbdev: prevent the risk of out of memory access
The dvbdev contains a static variable used to store dvb minors.
The behavior of it depends if CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is set
or not. When not set, dvb_register_device() won't check for
boundaries, as it will rely that a previous call to
dvb_register_adapter() would already be enforcing it.
On a similar way, dvb_device_open() uses the assumption
that the register functions already did the needed checks.
This can be fragile if some device ends using different
calls. This also generate warnings on static check analysers
like Coverity.
So, add explicit guards to prevent potential risk of OOM issues.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Fix slab-use-after-free in scmi_bus_notifier()
The scmi_dev->name is released prematurely in __scmi_device_destroy(),
which causes slab-use-after-free when accessing scmi_dev->name in
scmi_bus_notifier(). So move the release of scmi_dev->name to
scmi_device_release() to avoid slab-use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86/amd/pmc: Detect when STB is not available
Loading the amd_pmc module as:
amd_pmc enable_stb=1
...can result in the following messages in the kernel ring buffer:
amd_pmc AMDI0009:00: SMU cmd failed. err: 0xff
ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000000000000 - 0x0000000000ffffff
WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 2151 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:217 __ioremap_caller+0x2cd/0x340
Further debugging reveals that this occurs when the requests for
S2D_PHYS_ADDR_LOW and S2D_PHYS_ADDR_HIGH return a value of 0,
indicating that the STB is inaccessible. To prevent the ioremap
warning and provide clarity to the user, handle the invalid address
and display an error message.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/rw: fix missing NOWAIT check for O_DIRECT start write
When io_uring starts a write, it'll call kiocb_start_write() to bump the
super block rwsem, preventing any freezes from happening while that
write is in-flight. The freeze side will grab that rwsem for writing,
excluding any new writers from happening and waiting for existing writes
to finish. But io_uring unconditionally uses kiocb_start_write(), which
will block if someone is currently attempting to freeze the mount point.
This causes a deadlock where freeze is waiting for previous writes to
complete, but the previous writes cannot complete, as the task that is
supposed to complete them is blocked waiting on starting a new write.
This results in the following stuck trace showing that dependency with
the write blocked starting a new write:

Fix this by having the io_uring side honor IOCB_NOWAIT, and only attempt a
blocking grab of the super block rwsem if it isn't set. For normal issue
where IOCB_NOWAIT would always be set, this returns -EAGAIN which will
have io_uring core issue a blocking attempt of the write. That will in
turn also get completions run, ensuring forward progress.
Since freezing requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the first place, this isn't
something that can be triggered by a regular user.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix 6 GHz scan construction
If more than 255 colocated APs exist for the set of all
APs found during 2.4/5 GHz scanning, then the 6 GHz scan
construction will loop forever since the loop variable
has type u8, which can never reach the number found when
that's bigger than 255, and is stored in a u32 variable.
Also move it into the loops to have a smaller scope.
Using a u32 there is fine, we limit the number of APs in
the scan list and each has a limit on the number of RNR
entries due to the frame size. With a limit of 1000 scan
results, a frame size upper bound of 4096 (really it's
more like ~2300) and a TBTT entry size of at least 11,
we get an upper bound for the number of ~372k, well in
the bounds of a u32.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Fix potential NULL dereference in mtk_crtc_destroy()
In mtk_crtc_create(), if the call to mbox_request_channel() fails then we
set the "mtk_crtc->cmdq_client.chan" pointer to NULL. In that situation,
we do not call cmdq_pkt_create().
During the cleanup, we need to check if the "mtk_crtc->cmdq_client.chan"
is NULL first before calling cmdq_pkt_destroy(). Calling
cmdq_pkt_destroy() is unnecessary if we didn't call cmdq_pkt_create() and
it will result in a NULL pointer dereference.
