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

The problem is that the error log needs to be freed when the instance is
removed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Use number of bits to manage bitmap sizes
To allocate bitmaps, the mpi3mr driver calculates sizes of bitmaps using
byte as unit. However, bitmap helper functions assume that bitmaps are
allocated using unsigned long as unit. This gap causes memory access beyond
the bitmap sizes and results in "BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds". The BUG
was observed at firmware download to eHBA-9600. Call trace indicated that
the out-of-bounds access happened in find_first_zero_bit() called from
mpi3mr_send_event_ack() for miroc->evtack_cmds_bitmap.
To fix the BUG, do not use bytes to manage bitmap sizes. Instead, use
number of bits, and call bitmap helper functions which take number of bits
as arguments. For memory allocation, call bitmap_zalloc() instead of
kzalloc() and krealloc(). For memory free, call bitmap_free() instead of
kfree(). For zero clear, call bitmap_clear() instead of memset().
Remove three fields for bitmap byte sizes in struct scmd_priv which are no
longer required. Replace the field dev_handle_bitmap_sz with
dev_handle_bitmap_bits to keep number of bits of removepend_bitmap across
resize.

usb: phy: phy-tahvo: fix memory leak in tahvo_usb_probe()
Smatch reports:
drivers/usb/phy/phy-tahvo.c: tahvo_usb_probe()
warn: missing unwind goto?
After geting irq, if ret < 0, it will return without error handling to
free memory.
Just add error handling to fix this problem.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: atomisp: prevent integer overflow in sh_css_set_black_frame()
The "height" and "width" values come from the user so the "height * width"
multiplication can overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: greybus: audio_helper: remove unused and wrong debugfs usage
In the greybus audio_helper code, the debugfs file for the dapm has the
potential to be removed and memory will be leaked. There is also the
very real potential for this code to remove ALL debugfs entries from the
system, and it seems like this is what will really happen if this code
ever runs. This all is very wrong as the greybus audio driver did not
create this debugfs file, the sound core did and controls the lifespan
of it.
So remove all of the debugfs logic from the audio_helper code as there's
no way it could be correct. If this really is needed, it can come back
with a fixup for the incorrect usage of the debugfs_lookup() call which
is what caused this to be noticed at all.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dcb: choose correct policy to parse DCB_ATTR_BCN
The dcbnl_bcn_setcfg uses erroneous policy to parse tb[DCB_ATTR_BCN],
which is introduced in commit 859ee3c43812 ("DCB: Add support for DCB
BCN"). Please see the comment in below code
static int dcbnl_bcn_setcfg(...)
{
...
ret = nla_parse_nested_deprecated(..., dcbnl_pfc_up_nest, .. )
// !!! dcbnl_pfc_up_nest for attributes
// DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_0 to DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_ALL in enum dcbnl_pfc_up_attrs
...
for (i = DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0; i <= DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7; i++) {
// !!! DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0 to DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7 in enum dcbnl_bcn_attrs
...
value_byte = nla_get_u8(data[i]);
...
}
...
for (i = DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0; i <= DCB_BCN_ATTR_RI; i++) {
// !!! DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0 to DCB_BCN_ATTR_RI in enum dcbnl_bcn_attrs
...
value_int = nla_get_u32(data[i]);
...
}
...
}
That is, the nla_parse_nested_deprecated uses dcbnl_pfc_up_nest
attributes to parse nlattr defined in dcbnl_pfc_up_attrs. But the
following access code fetch each nlattr as dcbnl_bcn_attrs attributes.
By looking up the associated nla_policy for dcbnl_bcn_attrs. We can find
the beginning part of these two policies are "same".
static const struct nla_policy dcbnl_pfc_up_nest[...] = {
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_0] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_1] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_2] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_3] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_4] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_5] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_6] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_7] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
};
static const struct nla_policy dcbnl_bcn_nest[...] = {
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_1] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_2] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_3] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_4] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_5] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_6] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
// from here is somewhat different
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0] = {.type = NLA_U32},
...
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
};
Therefore, the current code is buggy and this
nla_parse_nested_deprecated could overflow the dcbnl_pfc_up_nest and use
the adjacent nla_policy to parse attributes from DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0.
Hence use the correct policy dcbnl_bcn_nest to parse the nested
tb[DCB_ATTR_BCN] TLV.
