In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gicv3: Workaround for NVIDIA erratum T241-FABRIC-4
The T241 platform suffers from the T241-FABRIC-4 erratum which causes
unexpected behavior in the GIC when multiple transactions are received
simultaneously from different sources. This hardware issue impacts
NVIDIA server platforms that use more than two T241 chips
interconnected. Each chip has support for 320 {E}SPIs.
This issue occurs when multiple packets from different GICs are
incorrectly interleaved at the target chip. The erratum text below
specifies exactly what can cause multiple transfer packets susceptible
to interleaving and GIC state corruption. GIC state corruption can
lead to a range of problems, including kernel panics, and unexpected
behavior.
>From the erratum text:
"In some cases, inter-socket AXI4 Stream packets with multiple
transfers, may be interleaved by the fabric when presented to ARM
Generic Interrupt Controller. GIC expects all transfers of a packet
to be delivered without any interleaving.
The following GICv3 commands may result in multiple transfer packets
over inter-socket AXI4 Stream interface:
- Register reads from GICD_I* and GICD_N*
- Register writes to 64-bit GICD registers other than GICD_IROUTERn*
- ITS command MOVALL
Multiple commands in GICv4+ utilize multiple transfer packets,
including VMOVP, VMOVI, VMAPP, and 64-bit register accesses."
This issue impacts system configurations with more than 2 sockets,
that require multi-transfer packets to be sent over inter-socket
AXI4 Stream interface between GIC instances on different sockets.
GICv4 cannot be supported. GICv3 SW model can only be supported
with the workaround. Single and Dual socket configurations are not
impacted by this issue and support GICv3 and GICv4."
Writing to the chip alias region of the GICD_In{E} registers except
GICD_ICENABLERn has an equivalent effect as writing to the global
distributor. The SPI interrupt deactivate path is not impacted by
the erratum.
To fix this problem, implement a workaround that ensures read accesses
to the GICD_In{E} registers are directed to the chip that owns the
SPI, and disable GICv4.x features. To simplify code changes, the
gic_configure_irq() function uses the same alias region for both read
and write operations to GICD_ICFGR.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: avoid possible NULL skb pointer dereference
In 'mwifiex_handle_uap_rx_forward()', always check the value
returned by 'skb_copy()' to avoid potential NULL pointer
dereference in 'mwifiex_uap_queue_bridged_pkt()', and drop
original skb in case of copying failure.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Fix device management cmd timeout flow
In the UFS error handling flow, the host will send a device management cmd
(NOP OUT) to the device for link recovery. If this cmd times out and
clearing the doorbell fails, ufshcd_wait_for_dev_cmd() will do nothing and
return. hba->dev_cmd.complete struct is not set to NULL.
When this happens, if cmd has been completed by device, then we will call
complete() in __ufshcd_transfer_req_compl(). Because the complete struct is
allocated on the stack, the following crash will occur:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Clean dangling pointer on bind error path
mtk_drm_bind() can fail, in which case drm_dev_put() is called,
destroying the drm_device object. However a pointer to it was still
being held in the private object, and that pointer would be passed along
to DRM in mtk_drm_sys_prepare() if a suspend were triggered at that
point, resulting in a panic. Clean the pointer when destroying the
object in the error path to prevent this from happening.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Free error logs of tracing instances
When a tracing instance is removed, the error messages that hold errors
that occurred in the instance needs to be freed. The following reports a
memory leak:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo 'hist:keys=x' > instances/foo/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
# cat instances/foo/error_log
[ 117.404795] hist:sched:sched_switch: error: Couldn't find field
Command: hist:keys=x
^
# rmdir instances/foo
Then check for memory leaks:
# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

removed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix null-ptr-deref of mreplace in raid10_sync_request
There are two check of 'mreplace' in raid10_sync_request(). In the first
check, 'need_replace' will be set and 'mreplace' will be used later if
no-Faulty 'mreplace' exists, In the second check, 'mreplace' will be
set to NULL if it is Faulty, but 'need_replace' will not be changed
accordingly. null-ptr-deref occurs if Faulty is set between two check.
Fix it by merging two checks into one. And replace 'need_replace' with
'mreplace' because their values are always the same.
