In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: sg: Resolve soft lockup issue when opening /dev/sgX
The parameter def_reserved_size defines the default buffer size reserved
for each Sg_fd and should be restricted to a range between 0 and 1,048,576
(see https://tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO/proc.html). Although the
function sg_proc_write_dressz enforces this limit, it is possible to bypass
it by directly modifying the module parameter as shown below, which then
causes a soft lockup:
echo -1 > /sys/module/sg/parameters/def_reserved_size
exec 4<> /dev/sg0
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck for 26 seconds! [bash:537]

The fix is to use module_param_cb to validate and reject invalid values
assigned to def_reserved_size.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: hvc_iucv: fix off-by-one in number of supported devices
MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES == HVC_ALLOC_TTY_ADAPTERS == 8.
This is the number of entries in:
static struct hvc_iucv_private *hvc_iucv_table[MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES];
Sometimes hvc_iucv_table[] is limited by:
(a) if (num > hvc_iucv_devices) // for error detection
or
(b) for (i = 0; i < hvc_iucv_devices; i++) // in 2 places
(so these 2 don't agree; second one appears to be correct to me.)
hvc_iucv_devices can be 0..8. This is a counter.
(c) if (hvc_iucv_devices > MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES)
If hvc_iucv_devices == 8, (a) allows the code to access hvc_iucv_table[8].
Oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phonet: do not BUG_ON() in pn_socket_autobind() on failed bind
syzbot reported a kernel BUG triggered from pn_socket_sendmsg() via
pn_socket_autobind():
kernel BUG at net/phonet/socket.c:213!
RIP: 0010:pn_socket_autobind net/phonet/socket.c:213 [inline]
RIP: 0010:pn_socket_sendmsg+0x240/0x250 net/phonet/socket.c:421
Call Trace:
sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x112/0x150 net/socket.c:797
__sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:812 [inline]
__sys_sendto+0x402/0x590 net/socket.c:2280
...
pn_socket_autobind() calls pn_socket_bind() with port 0 and, on
-EINVAL, assumes the socket was already bound and asserts that the
port is non-zero:
err = pn_socket_bind(sock, ..., sizeof(struct sockaddr_pn));
if (err != -EINVAL)
return err;
BUG_ON(!pn_port(pn_sk(sock->sk)->sobject));
return 0; /* socket was already bound */
However pn_socket_bind() also returns -EINVAL when sk->sk_state is not
TCP_CLOSE, even when the socket has never been bound and pn_port() is
still 0. In that case the BUG_ON() fires and panics the kernel from a
user-triggerable path.
Treat the "bind returned -EINVAL but pn_port() is still 0" case as a
regular error and propagate -EINVAL to the caller instead of crashing.
Existing callers already translate a non-zero return from
pn_socket_autobind() into -ENOBUFS/-EAGAIN, so returning -EINVAL here
only changes behaviour from panic to a normal errno.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix AMDGPU_INFO_READ_MMR_REG
There were multiple issues in that code.
First of all the order between the reset semaphore and the mm_lock was
wrong (e.g. copy_to_user) was called while holding the lock.
Then we allocated memory while holding the reset semaphore which is also
a pretty big bug and can deadlock.
Then we used down_read_trylock() instead of waiting for the reset to
finish.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: mailbox-test: don't free the reused channel
The RX channel can be aliased to the TX channel if it has a different
MMIO. This special case needs to be handled when freeing the channels
otherwise a double-free occurs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: add sanity check for channel array
Fail gracefully if there is no channel array attached to the mailbox
controller. Otherwise the later dereference will cause an OOPS which
might not be seen because mailbox controllers might instantiate very
early. Remove the comment explaining the obvious while here.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: mailbox-test: free channels on probe error
On probe error, free the previously obtained channels. This not only
prevents a leak, but also UAF scenarios because the client structure
will be removed nonetheless because it was allocated with devm.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Guard mana_remove against double invocation
If PM resume fails (e.g., mana_attach() returns an error), mana_probe()
calls mana_remove(), which tears down the device and sets
gd->gdma_context = NULL and gd->driver_data = NULL.
However, a failed resume callback does not automatically unbind the
driver. When the device is eventually unbound, mana_remove() is invoked
a second time. Without a NULL check, it dereferences gc->dev with
gc == NULL, causing a kernel panic.
Add an early return if gdma_context or driver_data is NULL so the second
invocation is harmless. Move the dev = gc->dev assignment after the
guard so it cannot dereference NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Wrap DCN32 phantom-plane allocation in DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED
[Why]
dcn32_validate_bandwidth() wraps dcn32_internal_validate_bw() with
DC_FP_START()/DC_FP_END(). In x86 non-RT, DC_FP_START takes fpregs_lock(),
which disables local softirqs.
The DML1 path through dcn32_enable_phantom_plane() calls kvzalloc() to
allocate ~335 KiB for dc_plane_state. This triggers the vmalloc path,
which calls BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) because it's invoked within the
FPU-enabled (softirq disabled) region, leading to a kernel crash.
[How]
Wrap the dc_state_create_phantom_plane() call with the
DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED() macro to allow preemption during
this memory allocation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix incorrect inheritable capability in CAPSET records
__audit_log_capset() records the effective capability set into the
inheritable field due to a copy-paste error. Every CAPSET audit
record therefore reports cap_pi (process inheritable) with the value
of cap_effective instead of cap_inheritable.
This silently corrupts audit data used for compliance and forensic
analysis: an attacker who modifies inheritable capabilities to
prepare for a privilege-escalating exec would have the change masked
in the audit trail.
The bug has been present since the original introduction of CAPSET
audit records in 2008.
