In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mISDN: Fix memory leak in dsp_pipeline_build()
dsp_pipeline_build() allocates dup pointer by kstrdup(cfg),
but then it updates dup variable by strsep(&dup, "|").
As a result when it calls kfree(dup), the dup variable contains NULL.
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: bypass tiling flag check in virtual display case (v2)
vkms leverages common amdgpu framebuffer creation, and
also as it does not support FB modifier, there is no need
to check tiling flags when initing framebuffer when virtual
display is enabled.
This can fix below calltrace:
amdgpu 0000:00:08.0: GFX9+ requires FB check based on format modifier
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1023 at drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_display.c:1150 amdgpu_display_framebuffer_init+0x8e7/0xb40 [amdgpu]
v2: check adev->enable_virtual_display instead as vkms can be
enabled in bare metal as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
swiotlb: fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE
The problem I'm addressing was discovered by the LTP test covering
cve-2018-1000204.
A short description of what happens follows:
1) The test case issues a command code 00 (TEST UNIT READY) via the SG_IO
interface with: dxfer_len == 524288, dxdfer_dir == SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV
and a corresponding dxferp. The peculiar thing about this is that TUR
is not reading from the device.
2) In sg_start_req() the invocation of blk_rq_map_user() effectively
bounces the user-space buffer. As if the device was to transfer into
it. Since commit a45b599ad808 ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in
sg_build_indirect()") we make sure this first bounce buffer is
allocated with GFP_ZERO.
3) For the rest of the story we keep ignoring that we have a TUR, so the
device won't touch the buffer we prepare as if the we had a
DMA_FROM_DEVICE type of situation. My setup uses a virtio-scsi device
and the buffer allocated by SG is mapped by the function
virtqueue_add_split() which uses DMA_FROM_DEVICE for the "in" sgs (here
scatter-gather and not scsi generics). This mapping involves bouncing
via the swiotlb (we need swiotlb to do virtio in protected guest like
s390 Secure Execution, or AMD SEV).
4) When the SCSI TUR is done, we first copy back the content of the second
(that is swiotlb) bounce buffer (which most likely contains some
previous IO data), to the first bounce buffer, which contains all
zeros. Then we copy back the content of the first bounce buffer to
the user-space buffer.
5) The test case detects that the buffer, which it zero-initialized,
ain't all zeros and fails.
One can argue that this is an swiotlb problem, because without swiotlb
we leak all zeros, and the swiotlb should be transparent in a sense that
it does not affect the outcome (if all other participants are well
behaved).
Copying the content of the original buffer into the swiotlb buffer is
the only way I can think of to make swiotlb transparent in such
scenarios. So let's do just that if in doubt, but allow the driver
to tell us that the whole mapped buffer is going to be overwritten,
in which case we can preserve the old behavior and avoid the performance
impact of the extra bounce.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFC: port100: fix use-after-free in port100_send_complete
Syzbot reported UAF in port100_send_complete(). The root case is in
missing usb_kill_urb() calls on error handling path of ->probe function.
port100_send_complete() accesses devm allocated memory which will be
freed on probe failure. We should kill this urbs before returning an
error from probe function to prevent reported use-after-free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix a race on command flush flow
Fix a refcount use after free warning due to a race on command entry.
Such race occurs when one of the commands releases its last refcount and
frees its index and entry while another process running command flush
flow takes refcount to this command entry. The process which handles
commands flush may see this command as needed to be flushed if the other
process released its refcount but didn't release the index yet. Fix it
by adding the needed spin lock.
It fixes the following warning trace:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Although the bug manifested in the driver core, the real cause was a
race with the gadget core. dev_uevent() does:
if (dev->driver)
add_uevent_var(env, "DRIVER=%s", dev->driver->name);
and between the test and the dereference of dev->driver, the gadget
core sets dev->driver to NULL.
The race wouldn't occur if the gadget core registered its devices on
a real bus, using the standard synchronization techniques of the
driver core. However, it's not necessary to make such a large change
in order to fix this bug; all we need to do is make sure that
udc->dev.driver is always NULL.
In fact, there is no reason for udc->dev.driver ever to be set to
anything, let alone to the value it currently gets: the address of the
gadget's driver. After all, a gadget driver only knows how to manage
a gadget, not how to manage a UDC.
This patch simply removes the statements in the gadget core that touch
udc->dev.driver.
