Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bonding: Fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called
which initializes it. If bonding ARP/NS validation is enabled, an IPv6
NS/NA packet received on a slave can reach bond_validate_na(), which
calls bond_has_this_ip6(). That path calls ipv6_chk_addr() and can
crash in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags().

Fix this by checking ipv6_mod_enabled() before dispatching IPv6 packets to
bond_na_rcv(). If IPv6 is disabled, return early from bond_rcv_validate()
and avoid the path to ipv6_chk_addr().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix physical SQE bounds check for SQE_MIXED 128-byte ops
When IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED is used without IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY,
the boundary check for 128-byte SQE operations in io_init_req()
validated the logical SQ head position rather than the physical SQE
index.
The existing check:
!(ctx->cached_sq_head & (ctx->sq_entries - 1))
ensures the logical position isn't at the end of the ring, which is
correct for NO_SQARRAY rings where physical == logical. However, when
sq_array is present, an unprivileged user can remap any logical
position to an arbitrary physical index via sq_array. Setting
sq_array[N] = sq_entries - 1 places a 128-byte operation at the last
physical SQE slot, causing the 128-byte memcpy in
io_uring_cmd_sqe_copy() to read 64 bytes past the end of the SQE
array.
Replace the cached_sq_head alignment check with a direct validation
of the physical SQE index, which correctly handles both sq_array and
NO_SQARRAY cases.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: amd: acp-mach-common: Add missing error check for clock acquisition
The acp_card_rt5682_init() and acp_card_rt5682s_init() functions did not
check the return values of clk_get(). This could lead to a kernel crash
when the invalid pointers are later dereferenced by clock core
functions.
Fix this by:
1. Changing clk_get() to the device-managed devm_clk_get().
2. Adding IS_ERR() checks immediately after each clock acquisition.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
e1000/e1000e: Fix leak in DMA error cleanup
If an error is encountered while mapping TX buffers, the driver should
unmap any buffers already mapped for that skb.
Because count is incremented after a successful mapping, it will always
match the correct number of unmappings needed when dma_error is reached.
Decrementing count before the while loop in dma_error causes an
off-by-one error. If any mapping was successful before an unsuccessful
mapping, exactly one DMA mapping would leak.
In these commits, a faulty while condition caused an infinite loop in
dma_error:
Commit 03b1320dfcee ("e1000e: remove use of skb_dma_map from e1000e
driver")
Commit 602c0554d7b0 ("e1000: remove use of skb_dma_map from e1000 driver")
Commit c1fa347f20f1 ("e1000/e1000e/igb/igbvf/ixgb/ixgbe: Fix tests of
unsigned in *_tx_map()") fixed the infinite loop, but introduced the
off-by-one error.
This issue may still exist in the igbvf driver, but I did not address it
in this patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: usbtmc: Use usb_bulk_msg_killable() with user-specified timeouts
The usbtmc driver accepts timeout values specified by the user in an
ioctl command, and uses these timeouts for some usb_bulk_msg() calls.
Since the user can specify arbitrarily long timeouts and
usb_bulk_msg() uses unkillable waits, call usb_bulk_msg_killable()
instead to avoid the possibility of the user hanging a kernel thread
indefinitely.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: yurex: fix race in probe
The bbu member of the descriptor must be set to the value
standing for uninitialized values before the URB whose
completion handler sets bbu is submitted. Otherwise there is
a window during which probing can overwrite already retrieved
data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: Fix NULL pointer dereference when reading portli debugfs files
Michal reported and debgged a NULL pointer dereference bug in the
recently added portli debugfs files
Oops is caused when there are more port registers counted in
xhci->max_ports than ports reported by Supported Protocol capabilities.
This is possible if max_ports is more than maximum port number, or
if there are gaps between ports of different speeds the 'Supported
Protocol' capabilities.
In such cases port->rhub will be NULL so we can't reach xhci behind it.
Add an explicit NULL check for this case, and print portli in hex
without dereferencing port->rhub.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix memory leak in xhci_disable_slot()
xhci_alloc_command() allocates a command structure and, when the
second argument is true, also allocates a completion structure.
Currently, the error handling path in xhci_disable_slot() only frees
the command structure using kfree(), causing the completion structure
to leak.
Use xhci_free_command() instead of kfree(). xhci_free_command() correctly
frees both the command structure and the associated completion structure.
Since the command structure is allocated with zero-initialization,
command->in_ctx is NULL and will not be erroneously freed by
xhci_free_command().
This bug was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are
developing. The tool is based on the LLVM framework and is specifically
designed to detect memory management issues. It is currently under
active development and not yet publicly available, but we plan to
open-source it after our research is published.
The bug was originally detected on v6.13-rc1 using our static analysis
tool, and we have verified that the issue persists in the latest mainline
kernel.
We performed build testing on x86_64 with allyesconfig using GCC=11.4.0.
Since triggering these error paths in xhci_disable_slot() requires specific
hardware conditions or abnormal state, we were unable to construct a test
case to reliably trigger these specific error paths at runtime.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rust_binder: avoid reading the written value in offsets array
When sending a transaction, its offsets array is first copied into the
target proc's vma, and then the values are read back from there. This is
normally fine because the vma is a read-only mapping, so the target
process cannot change the value under us.
However, if the target process somehow gains the ability to write to its
own vma, it could change the offset before it's read back, causing the
kernel to misinterpret what the sender meant. If the sender happens to
send a payload with a specific shape, this could in the worst case lead
to the receiver being able to privilege escalate into the sender.
The intent is that gaining the ability to change the read-only vma of
your own process should not be exploitable, so remove this TOCTOU read
even though it's unexploitable without another Binder bug.
