In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp_bpf: Call sk_msg_free() when tcp_bpf_send_verdict() fails to allocate psock->cork.
syzbot reported the splat below. [0]
The repro does the following:
1. Load a sk_msg prog that calls bpf_msg_cork_bytes(msg, cork_bytes)
2. Attach the prog to a SOCKMAP
3. Add a socket to the SOCKMAP
4. Activate fault injection
5. Send data less than cork_bytes
At 5., the data is carried over to the next sendmsg() as it is
smaller than the cork_bytes specified by bpf_msg_cork_bytes().
Then, tcp_bpf_send_verdict() tries to allocate psock->cork to hold
the data, but this fails silently due to fault injection + __GFP_NOWARN.
If the allocation fails, we need to revert the sk->sk_forward_alloc
change done by sk_msg_alloc().
Let's call sk_msg_free() when tcp_bpf_send_verdict fails to allocate
psock->cork.
The "*copied" also needs to be updated such that a proper error can
be returned to the caller, sendmsg. It fails to allocate psock->cork.
Nothing has been corked so far, so this patch simply sets "*copied"
to 0.

We can reproduce the warning by following the steps below:
1. echo 8 >> set_event_notrace_pid. Let tr->filtered_pids owns one pid
and register sched_switch tracepoint.
2. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid, and perform fault injection during chunk
allocation of trace_pid_list_alloc. Let pid_list with no pid and
assign to tr->filtered_pids.
3. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid. Let pid_list is NULL and assign to
tr->filtered_pids.
4. echo 9 >> set_event_pid, will trigger the double register
sched_switch tracepoint warning.
The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation
in trace_pid_list_alloc, causing a failure in trace_pid_list_set, which
may trigger double register of the same tracepoint. This only occurs
when the system is about to crash, but to suppress this warning, let's
add failure handling logic to trace_pid_list_set.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/reclaim: avoid divide-by-zero in damon_reclaim_apply_parameters()
When creating a new scheme of DAMON_RECLAIM, the calculation of
'min_age_region' uses 'aggr_interval' as the divisor, which may lead to
division-by-zero errors. Fix it by directly returning -EINVAL when such a
case occurs.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/lru_sort: avoid divide-by-zero in damon_lru_sort_apply_parameters()
Patch series "mm/damon: avoid divide-by-zero in DAMON module's parameters
application".
DAMON's RECLAIM and LRU_SORT modules perform no validation on
user-configured parameters during application, which may lead to
division-by-zero errors.
Avoid the divide-by-zero by adding validation checks when DAMON modules
attempt to apply the parameters.
This patch (of 2):
During the calculation of 'hot_thres' and 'cold_thres', either
'sample_interval' or 'aggr_interval' is used as the divisor, which may
lead to division-by-zero errors. Fix it by directly returning -EINVAL
when such a case occurs. Additionally, since 'aggr_interval' is already
required to be set no smaller than 'sample_interval' in damon_set_attrs(),
only the case where 'sample_interval' is zero needs to be checked.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: avoid accessing metadata when pointer is invalid in object_err()
object_err() reports details of an object for further debugging, such as
the freelist pointer, redzone, etc. However, if the pointer is invalid,
attempting to access object metadata can lead to a crash since it does
not point to a valid object.
One known path to the crash is when alloc_consistency_checks()
determines the pointer to the allocated object is invalid because of a
freelist corruption, and calls object_err() to report it. The debug code
should report and handle the corruption gracefully and not crash in the
process.
In case the pointer is NULL or check_valid_pointer() returns false for
the pointer, only print the pointer value and skip accessing metadata.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: Initialize the chan_stats array to zero
The adapter->chan_stats[] array is initialized in
mwifiex_init_channel_scan_gap() with vmalloc(), which doesn't zero out
memory. The array is filled in mwifiex_update_chan_statistics()
and then the user can query the data in mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_survey().
There are two potential issues here. What if the user calls
mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_survey() before the data has been filled in.
Also the mwifiex_update_chan_statistics() function doesn't necessarily
initialize the whole array. Since the array was not initialized at
the start that could result in an information leak.
Also this array is pretty small. It's a maximum of 900 bytes so it's
more appropriate to use kcalloc() instead vmalloc().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: br_netfilter: do not check confirmed bit in br_nf_local_in() after confirm
When send a broadcast packet to a tap device, which was added to a bridge,
br_nf_local_in() is called to confirm the conntrack. If another conntrack
with the same hash value is added to the hash table, which can be
triggered by a normal packet to a non-bridge device, the below warning
may happen.

To solve the hash conflict, nf_ct_resolve_clash() try to merge the
conntracks, and update skb->_nfct. However, br_nf_local_in() still use the
old ct from local variable 'nfct' after confirm(), which leads to this
warning.
If confirm() does not insert the conntrack entry and return NF_DROP, the
warning may also occur. There is no need to reserve the WARN_ON_ONCE, just
remove it.
VMware Aria Operations and VMware Tools contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious local actor with non-administrative privileges having access to a VM with VMware Tools installed and managed by Aria Operations with SDMP enabled may exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges to root on the same VM.
