In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: Fix a NULL pointer dereference issue in fbcon_putcs
syzbot has found a NULL pointer dereference bug in fbcon.
Here is the simplified C reproducer:
struct param {
uint8_t type;
struct tiocl_selection ts;
};
int main()
{
struct fb_con2fbmap con2fb;
struct param param;
int fd = open("/dev/fb1", 0, 0);
con2fb.console = 0x19;
con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb);
param.type = 2;
param.ts.xs = 0; param.ts.ys = 0;
param.ts.xe = 0; param.ts.ye = 0;
param.ts.sel_mode = 0;
int fd1 = open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR, 0);
ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, ¶m);
con2fb.console = 1;
con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb);
return 0;
}
After calling ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, ¶m), the subsequent ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb)
causes the kernel to follow a different execution path:
set_con2fb_map
-> con2fb_init_display
-> fbcon_set_disp
-> redraw_screen
-> hide_cursor
-> clear_selection
-> highlight
-> invert_screen
-> do_update_region
-> fbcon_putcs
-> ops->putcs
Since ops->putcs is a NULL pointer, this leads to a kernel panic.
To prevent this, we need to call set_blitting_type() within set_con2fb_map()
to properly initialize ops->putcs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointer before dereferencing se
[WHAT & HOW]
se is null checked previously in the same function, indicating
it might be null; therefore, it must be checked when used again.
This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: bus: Fix double free in driver API bus_register()
For bus_register(), any error which happens after kset_register() will
cause that @priv are freed twice, fixed by setting @priv with NULL after
the first free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before
In polling mode, if no IRQ was requested there is no need to free it.
Call devm_free_irq() only if client->irq is set. This fixes the warning
caused by the tps6598x module removal:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too
Commit af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part
3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so
the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that
protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);"
call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the
reason why we do not see lots of these reports.
Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P.
Until the above is investigated, stay on the safe side and move this
dereference to the if too.
I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID 1585130. Thanks.

In phy_attach_direct(), after setting the 'dev->driver', probe() fails,
device_bind_driver() is not called, so the knode_driver->n_klist is not
set, then it causes null-ptr-deref in __device_release_driver() while
deleting device. Fix this by setting dev->driver to NULL in the error
path in phy_attach_direct().

If DAT metadata file is corrupted on disk, there is a case where
req->pr_desc_bh is NULL and blocknr is 0 at nilfs_dat_commit_end() during
a b-tree operation that cascadingly updates ancestor nodes of the b-tree,
because nilfs_dat_commit_alloc() for a lower level block can initialize
the blocknr on the same DAT entry between nilfs_dat_prepare_end() and
nilfs_dat_commit_end().
If this happens, nilfs_dat_commit_end() calls nilfs_dat_commit_free()
without valid buffer heads in req->pr_desc_bh and req->pr_bitmap_bh, and
causes the NULL pointer dereference above in
nilfs_palloc_commit_free_entry() function, which leads to a crash.
Fix this by adding a NULL check on req->pr_desc_bh and req->pr_bitmap_bh
before nilfs_palloc_commit_free_entry() in nilfs_dat_commit_free().
This also calls nilfs_error() in that case to notify that there is a fatal
flaw in the filesystem metadata and prevent further operations.
