In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
This patch is against CVE-2023-6270. The description of cve is:
A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on
`struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing
between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq`
global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or
potential code execution.
In aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), it always calls dev_put(ifp) when skb initial
code is finished. But the net_device ifp will still be used in
later tx()->dev_queue_xmit() in kthread. Which means that the
dev_put(ifp) should NOT be called in the success path of skb
initial code in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). Otherwise tx() may run into
use-after-free because the net_device is freed.
This patch removed the dev_put(ifp) in the success path in
aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), and added dev_put() after skb xmit in tx().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Per Chuck Lever's suggestion, use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to
solve the problem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Do not register event handler until srpt device is fully setup
Upon rare occasions, KASAN reports a use-after-free Write
in srpt_refresh_port().
This seems to be because an event handler is registered before the
srpt device is fully setup and a race condition upon error may leave a
partially setup event handler in place.
Instead, only register the event handler after srpt device initialization
is complete.

Task A set disconnect_flag = !0, which resulted in Task B's condition being met
and releasing mp, leading to this issue.
[Fix]
Place the disconnect_flag assignment operation after all code in pvr2_context_disconnect()
to avoid this issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
quota: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Below race may cause NULL pointer dereference
P1 P2
dquot_free_inode quota_off
drop_dquot_ref
remove_dquot_ref
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
srcu_read_lock
dquots[cnt]) != NULL (1)
dquots[type] = NULL (2)
spin_lock(&dquots[cnt]->dq_dqb_lock) (3)
....
If dquot_free_inode(or other routines) checks inode's quota pointers (1)
before quota_off sets it to NULL(2) and use it (3) after that, NULL pointer
dereference will be triggered.
So let's fix it by using a temporary pointer to avoid this issue.

Due to abnormal data in skb->data, the extension bitmap length
exceeds 32 when decoding ras message then uses the length to make
a shift operation. It will change into negative after several loop.
UBSAN load could detect a negative shift as an undefined behaviour
and reports exception.
So we add the protection to avoid the length exceeding 32. Or else
it will return out of range error and stop decoding.
