In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Return NULL from huge_pte_offset() for invalid PMD
LoongArch's huge_pte_offset() currently returns a pointer to a PMD slot
even if the underlying entry points to invalid_pte_table (indicating no
mapping). Callers like smaps_hugetlb_range() fetch this invalid entry
value (the address of invalid_pte_table) via this pointer.
The generic is_swap_pte() check then incorrectly identifies this address
as a swap entry on LoongArch, because it satisfies the "!pte_present()
&& !pte_none()" conditions. This misinterpretation, combined with a
coincidental match by is_migration_entry() on the address bits, leads to
kernel crashes in pfn_swap_entry_to_page().
Fix this at the architecture level by modifying huge_pte_offset() to
check the PMD entry's content using pmd_none() before returning. If the
entry is invalid (i.e., it points to invalid_pte_table), return NULL
instead of the pointer to the slot.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gic-v2m: Prevent use after free of gicv2m_get_fwnode()
With ACPI in place, gicv2m_get_fwnode() is registered with the pci
subsystem as pci_msi_get_fwnode_cb(), which may get invoked at runtime
during a PCI host bridge probe. But, the call back is wrongly marked as
__init, causing it to be freed, while being registered with the PCI
subsystem and could trigger:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff8000816c0400
gicv2m_get_fwnode+0x0/0x58 (P)
pci_set_bus_msi_domain+0x74/0x88
pci_register_host_bridge+0x194/0x548
This is easily reproducible on a Juno board with ACPI boot.
Retain the function for later use.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen-netfront: handle NULL returned by xdp_convert_buff_to_frame()
The function xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() may return NULL if it fails
to correctly convert the XDP buffer into an XDP frame due to memory
constraints, internal errors, or invalid data. Failing to check for NULL
may lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the result is used later in
processing, potentially causing crashes, data corruption, or undefined
behavior.
On XDP redirect failure, the associated page must be released explicitly
if it was previously retained via get_page(). Failing to do so may result
in a memory leak, as the pages reference count is not decremented.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: hfsc: Fix a potential UAF in hfsc_dequeue() too
Similarly to the previous patch, we need to safe guard hfsc_dequeue()
too. But for this one, we don't have a reliable reproducer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: gadget: check that event count does not exceed event buffer length
The event count is read from register DWC3_GEVNTCOUNT.
There is a check for the count being zero, but not for exceeding the
event buffer length.
Check that event count does not exceed event buffer length,
avoiding an out-of-bounds access when memcpy'ing the event.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: chipidea: ci_hdrc_imx: fix usbmisc handling
usbmisc is an optional device property so it is totally valid for the
corresponding data->usbmisc_data to have a NULL value.
Check that before dereferencing the pointer.

analysis tool.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdns3: Fix deadlock when using NCM gadget
The cdns3 driver has the same NCM deadlock as fixed in cdnsp by commit
58f2fcb3a845 ("usb: cdnsp: Fix deadlock issue during using NCM gadget").
Under PREEMPT_RT the deadlock can be readily triggered by heavy network
traffic, for example using "iperf --bidir" over NCM ethernet link.
The deadlock occurs because the threaded interrupt handler gets
preempted by a softirq, but both are protected by the same spinlock.
Prevent deadlock by disabling softirq during threaded irq handler.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mcb: fix a double free bug in chameleon_parse_gdd()
In chameleon_parse_gdd(), if mcb_device_register() fails, 'mdev'
would be released in mcb_device_register() via put_device().
Thus, goto 'err' label and free 'mdev' again causes a double free.
Just return if mcb_device_register() fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: null - Use spin lock instead of mutex
As the null algorithm may be freed in softirq context through
af_alg, use spin locks instead of mutexes to protect the default
null algorithm.
