In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/connector: hdmi: Fix memory leak in drm_display_mode_from_cea_vic()
modprobe drm_connector_test and then rmmod drm_connector_test,
the following memory leak occurs.
The `mode` allocated in drm_mode_duplicate() called by
drm_display_mode_from_cea_vic() is not freed, which cause the memory leak:
unreferenced object 0xffffff80cb0ee400 (size 128):

Free `mode` by using drm_kunit_display_mode_from_cea_vic()
to fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-auth: assign dh_key to NULL after kfree_sensitive
ctrl->dh_key might be used across multiple calls to nvmet_setup_dhgroup()
for the same controller. So it's better to nullify it after release on
error path in order to avoid double free later in nvmet_destroy_auth().
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix finding a last resort AG in xfs_filestream_pick_ag
When the main loop in xfs_filestream_pick_ag fails to find a suitable
AG it tries to just pick the online AG. But the loop for that uses
args->pag as loop iterator while the later code expects pag to be
set. Fix this by reusing the max_pag case for this last resort, and
also add a check for impossible case of no AG just to make sure that
the uninitialized pag doesn't even escape in theory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib: alloc_tag_module_unload must wait for pending kfree_rcu calls
Ben Greear reports following splat:
------------[ cut here ]------------
net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c:1114 module nf_nat func:nf_nat_register_fn has 256 allocated at module unload
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 10421 at lib/alloc_tag.c:168 alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0
Modules linked in: nf_nat(-) btrfs ufs qnx4 hfsplus hfs minix vfat msdos fat

Hardware name: Default string Default string/SKYBAY, BIOS 5.12 08/04/2020
RIP: 0010:alloc_tag_module_unload+0x22b/0x3f0
codetag_unload_module+0x19b/0x2a0
? codetag_load_module+0x80/0x80
nf_nat module exit calls kfree_rcu on those addresses, but the free
operation is likely still pending by the time alloc_tag checks for leaks.
Wait for outstanding kfree_rcu operations to complete before checking
resolves this warning.
Reproducer:
unshare -n iptables-nft -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp
grep nf_nat /proc/allocinfo # will list 4 allocations
rmmod nft_chain_nat
rmmod nf_nat # will WARN.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in quomodosoft ElementsReady Addons for Elementor element-ready-lite allows Stored XSS.This issue affects ElementsReady Addons for Elementor: from n/a through <= 6.4.3.
The RegistrationMagic – User Registration Plugin with Custom Registration Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.2.6. This is due to the plugin not properly validating the password reset token prior to updating a user's password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of arbitrary users, including administrators, and gain access to these accounts.
The Poll Maker – Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.6 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
The Contact Form 7 – PayPal & Stripe Add-on plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg & remove_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This is only exploitable when the leave a review notice is present in the dashboard.
The WPLMS Learning Management System for WordPress, WordPress LMS theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read and deletion due to insufficient file path validation and permissions checks in the readfile and unlink functions in all versions up to, and including, 4.962. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The theme is vulnerable even when it is not activated.
The Envo Extra plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.3 via the 'elementor-template' shortcode due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be included. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract data from private or draft posts created by Elementor that they should not have access to.
