In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: netconsole: fix wrong warning
A warning is triggered when there is insufficient space in the buffer
for userdata. However, this is not an issue since userdata will be sent
in the next iteration.
Current warning message:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 3013042 at drivers/net/netconsole.c:1122 write_ext_msg+0x3b6/0x3d0
? write_ext_msg+0x3b6/0x3d0
console_flush_all+0x1e9/0x330
The code incorrectly issues a warning when this_chunk is zero, which is
a valid scenario. The warning should only be triggered when this_chunk
is negative.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: intel: int340x: processor: Fix warning during module unload
The processor_thermal driver uses pcim_device_enable() to enable a PCI
device, which means the device will be automatically disabled on driver
detach. Thus there is no need to call pci_disable_device() again on it.
With recent PCI device resource management improvements, e.g. commit
f748a07a0b64 ("PCI: Remove legacy pcim_release()"), this problem is
exposed and triggers the warining below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: Don't invoke xdp_do_flush() from netpoll.
Yury reported a crash in the sfc driver originated from
netpoll_send_udp(). The netconsole sends a message and then netpoll
invokes the driver's NAPI function with a budget of zero. It is
dedicated to allow driver to free TX resources, that it may have used
while sending the packet.
In the netpoll case the driver invokes xdp_do_flush() unconditionally,
leading to crash because bpf_net_context was never assigned.
Invoke xdp_do_flush() only if budget is not zero.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mad: Improve handling of timed out WRs of mad agent
Current timeout handler of mad agent acquires/releases mad_agent_priv
lock for every timed out WRs. This causes heavy locking contention
when higher no. of WRs are to be handled inside timeout handler.
This leads to softlockup with below trace in some use cases where
rdma-cm path is used to establish connection between peer nodes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nouveau/dmem: Fix vulnerability in migrate_to_ram upon copy error
The `nouveau_dmem_copy_one` function ensures that the copy push command is
sent to the device firmware but does not track whether it was executed
successfully.
In the case of a copy error (e.g., firmware or hardware failure), the
copy push command will be sent via the firmware channel, and
`nouveau_dmem_copy_one` will likely report success, leading to the
`migrate_to_ram` function returning a dirty HIGH_USER page to the user.
This can result in a security vulnerability, as a HIGH_USER page that may
contain sensitive or corrupted data could be returned to the user.
To prevent this vulnerability, we allocate a zero page. Thus, in case of
an error, a non-dirty (zero) page will be returned to the user.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fec: don't save PTP state if PTP is unsupported
Some platforms (such as i.MX25 and i.MX27) do not support PTP, so on
these platforms fec_ptp_init() is not called and the related members
in fep are not initialized. However, fec_ptp_save_state() is called
unconditionally, which causes the kernel to panic. Therefore, add a
condition so that fec_ptp_save_state() is not called if PTP is not
supported.
