In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: aoa: i2sbus: fix possible memory leak in i2sbus_add_dev()
dev_set_name() in soundbus_add_one() allocates memory for name, it need be
freed when of_device_register() fails, call soundbus_dev_put() to give up
the reference that hold in device_initialize(), so that it can be freed in
kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hit to 0. And other resources are also
freed in i2sbus_release_dev(), so it can return 0 directly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libsas: Fix use-after-free bug in smp_execute_task_sg()
When executing SMP task failed, the smp_execute_task_sg() calls del_timer()
to delete "slow_task->timer". However, if the timer handler
sas_task_internal_timedout() is running, the del_timer() in
smp_execute_task_sg() will not stop it and a UAF will happen. The process
is shown below:
(thread 1) | (thread 2)
smp_execute_task_sg() | sas_task_internal_timedout()
... |
del_timer() |
... | ...
sas_free_task(task) |
kfree(task->slow_task) //FREE|
| task->slow_task->... //USE
Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in smp_execute_task_sg(), which makes sure
the timer handler have finished before the "task->slow_task" is
deallocated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds warning
If get_num_sdma_queues or get_num_xgmi_sdma_queues is 0, we end up
doing a shift operation where the number of bits shifted equals
number of bits in the operand. This behaviour is undefined.
Set num_sdma_queues or num_xgmi_sdma_queues to ULLONG_MAX, if the
count is >= number of bits in the operand.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix race condition validating r_parent before applying state
Add validation to ensure the cached parent directory inode matches the
directory info in MDS replies. This prevents client-side race conditions
where concurrent operations (e.g. rename) cause r_parent to become stale
between request initiation and reply processing, which could lead to
applying state changes to incorrect directory inodes.
[ idryomov: folded a kerneldoc fixup and a follow-up fix from Alex to
move CEPH_CAP_PIN reference when r_parent is updated:
When the parent directory lock is not held, req->r_parent can become
stale and is updated to point to the correct inode. However, the
associated CEPH_CAP_PIN reference was not being adjusted. The
CEPH_CAP_PIN is a reference on an inode that is tracked for
accounting purposes. Moving this pin is important to keep the
accounting balanced. When the pin was not moved from the old parent
to the new one, it created two problems: The reference on the old,
stale parent was never released, causing a reference leak.
A reference for the new parent was never acquired, creating the risk
of a reference underflow later in ceph_mdsc_release_request(). This
patch corrects the logic by releasing the pin from the old parent and
acquiring it for the new parent when r_parent is switched. This
ensures reference accounting stays balanced. ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pcmcia: Add error handling for add_interval() in do_validate_mem()
In the do_validate_mem(), the call to add_interval() does not
handle errors. If kmalloc() fails in add_interval(), it could
result in a null pointer being inserted into the linked list,
leading to illegal memory access when sub_interval() is called
next.
This patch adds an error handling for the add_interval(). If
add_interval() returns an error, the function will return early
with the error code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phylink: add lock for serializing concurrent pl->phydev writes with resolver
Currently phylink_resolve() protects itself against concurrent
phylink_bringup_phy() or phylink_disconnect_phy() calls which modify
pl->phydev by relying on pl->state_mutex.
The problem is that in phylink_resolve(), pl->state_mutex is in a lock
inversion state with pl->phydev->lock. So pl->phydev->lock needs to be
acquired prior to pl->state_mutex. But that requires dereferencing
pl->phydev in the first place, and without pl->state_mutex, that is
racy.
Hence the reason for the extra lock. Currently it is redundant, but it
will serve a functional purpose once mutex_lock(&phy->lock) will be
moved outside of the mutex_lock(&pl->state_mutex) section.
Another alternative considered would have been to let phylink_resolve()
acquire the rtnl_mutex, which is also held when phylink_bringup_phy()
and phylink_disconnect_phy() are called. But since phylink_disconnect_phy()
runs under rtnl_lock(), it would deadlock with phylink_resolve() when
calling flush_work(&pl->resolve). Additionally, it would have been
undesirable because it would have unnecessarily blocked many other call
paths as well in the entire kernel, so the smaller-scoped lock was
preferred.

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.

ocfs2_fiemap() takes a read lock of the ip_alloc_sem semaphore (since
v2.6.22-527-g7307de80510a) and calls fiemap_fill_next_extent() to read the
extent list of this running mmap executable. The user supplied buffer to
hold the fiemap information page faults calling ocfs2_page_mkwrite() which
will take a write lock (since v2.6.27-38-g00dc417fa3e7) of the same
semaphore. This recursive semaphore will hold filesystem locks and causes
a hang of the fileystem.
The ip_alloc_sem protects the inode extent list and size. Release the
read semphore before calling fiemap_fill_next_extent() in ocfs2_fiemap()
and ocfs2_fiemap_inline(). This does an unnecessary semaphore lock/unlock
on the last extent but simplifies the error path.
