In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: do not assume bh is held in ppp_channel_bridge_input()
Networking receive path is usually handled from BH handler.
However, some protocols need to acquire the socket lock, and
packets might be stored in the socket backlog is the socket was
owned by a user process.
In this case, release_sock(), __release_sock(), and sk_backlog_rcv()
might call the sk->sk_backlog_rcv() handler in process context.
sybot caught ppp was not considering this case in
ppp_channel_bridge_input() :

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: add more sanity checks to qdisc_pkt_len_init()
One path takes care of SKB_GSO_DODGY, assuming
skb->len is bigger than hdr_len.
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() does not fully dissect TCP headers,
it only make sure it is at least 20 bytes.
It is possible for an user to provide a malicious 'GSO' packet,
total length of 80 bytes.
- 20 bytes of IPv4 header
- 60 bytes TCP header
- a small gso_size like 8
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() would declare this packet as a normal
GSO packet, because it would see 40 bytes of payload,
bigger than gso_size.
We need to make detect this case to not underflow
qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: avoid potential underflow in qdisc_pkt_len_init() with UFO
After commit 7c6d2ecbda83 ("net: be more gentle about silly gso
requests coming from user") virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() had sanity check
to detect malicious attempts from user space to cook a bad GSO packet.
Then commit cf9acc90c80ec ("net: virtio_net_hdr_to_skb: count
transport header in UFO") while fixing one issue, allowed user space
to cook a GSO packet with the following characteristic :
IPv4 SKB_GSO_UDP, gso_size=3, skb->len = 28.
When this packet arrives in qdisc_pkt_len_init(), we end up
with hdr_len = 28 (IPv4 header + UDP header), matching skb->len
Then the following sets gso_segs to 0 :
gso_segs = DIV_ROUND_UP(skb->len - hdr_len,
shinfo->gso_size);
Then later we set qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len to back to zero :/
qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len += (gso_segs - 1) * hdr_len;
This leads to the following crash in fq_codel [1]
qdisc_pkt_len_init() is best effort, we only want an estimation
of the bytes sent on the wire, not crashing the kernel.
This patch is fixing this particular issue, a following one
adds more sanity checks for another potential bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix possible crash on mgmt_index_removed
If mgmt_index_removed is called while there are commands queued on
cmd_sync it could lead to crashes like the bellow trace:
0x0000053D: __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0x98/0xdc
0x0000053D: mgmt_pending_remove+0x18/0x58 [bluetooth]

0x0000053E: hci_cmd_sync_work+0xbc/0x164 [bluetooth]
So while handling mgmt_index_removed this attempts to dequeue
commands passed as user_data to cmd_sync.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
static_call: Replace pointless WARN_ON() in static_call_module_notify()
static_call_module_notify() triggers a WARN_ON(), when memory allocation
fails in __static_call_add_module().
That's not really justified, because the failure case must be correctly
handled by the well known call chain and the error code is passed
through to the initiating userspace application.
A memory allocation fail is not a fatal problem, but the WARN_ON() takes
the machine out when panic_on_warn is set.
Replace it with a pr_warn().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: battery: Fix possible crash when unregistering a battery hook
When a battery hook returns an error when adding a new battery, then
the battery hook is automatically unregistered.
However the battery hook provider cannot know that, so it will later
call battery_hook_unregister() on the already unregistered battery
hook, resulting in a crash.
Fix this by using the list head to mark already unregistered battery
hooks as already being unregistered so that they can be ignored by
battery_hook_unregister().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix null-ptr-deref when journal load failed.
During the mounting process, if journal_reset() fails because of too short
journal, then lead to jbd2_journal_load() fails with NULL j_sb_buffer.
Subsequently, ocfs2_journal_shutdown() calls
jbd2_journal_flush()->jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()->
__jbd2_update_log_tail()->jbd2_journal_update_sb_log_tail()
->lock_buffer(journal->j_sb_buffer), resulting in a null-pointer
dereference error.
To resolve this issue, we should check the JBD2_LOADED flag to ensure the
journal was properly loaded. Additionally, use journal instead of
osb->journal directly to simplify the code.
