In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: insert tree mod log move in push_node_left
There is a fairly unlikely race condition in tree mod log rewind that
can result in a kernel panic which has the following trace:

This occurs when logical inode resolution takes a tree mod log sequence
number, and then while backref walking hits a rewind on a busy node
which has the following sequence of tree mod log operations (numbers
filled in from a specific example, but they are somewhat arbitrary)
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 532
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 531
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 530
...
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 0
REMOVE slot 455
REMOVE slot 454
REMOVE slot 453
...
REMOVE slot 0
ADD slot 455
ADD slot 454
ADD slot 453
...
ADD slot 0
MOVE src slot 0 -> dst slot 456 nritems 533
REMOVE slot 455
REMOVE slot 454
REMOVE slot 453
...
REMOVE slot 0
When this sequence gets applied via btrfs_tree_mod_log_rewind, it
allocates a fresh rewind eb, and first inserts the correct key info for
the 533 elements, then overwrites the first 456 of them, then decrements
the count by 456 via the add ops, then rewinds the move by doing a
memmove from 456:988->0:532. We have never written anything past 532,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix incomplete state save in rxe_requester
If a send packet is dropped by the IP layer in rxe_requester()
the call to rxe_xmit_packet() can fail with err == -EAGAIN.
To recover, the state of the wqe is restored to the state before
the packet was sent so it can be resent. However, the routines
that save and restore the state miss a significnt part of the
variable state in the wqe, the dma struct which is used to process
through the sge table. And, the state is not saved before the packet
is built which modifies the dma struct.
Under heavy stress testing with many QPs on a fast node sending
large messages to a slow node dropped packets are observed and
the resent packets are corrupted because the dma struct was not
restored. This patch fixes this behavior and allows the test cases
to succeed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: fix use-after-free on probe deferral
The bridge counter was never reset when tearing down the DRM device so
that stale pointers to deallocated structures would be accessed on the
next tear down (e.g. after a second late bind deferral).
Given enough bridges and a few probe deferrals this could currently also
lead to data beyond the bridge array being corrupted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qed: Don't collect too many protection override GRC elements
In the protection override dump path, the firmware can return far too
many GRC elements, resulting in attempting to write past the end of the
previously-kmalloc'ed dump buffer.
This will result in a kernel panic with reason:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ADDRESS
where "ADDRESS" is just past the end of the protection override dump
buffer. The start address of the buffer is:
p_hwfn->cdev->dbg_features[DBG_FEATURE_PROTECTION_OVERRIDE].dump_buf
and the size of the buffer is buf_size in the same data structure.
The panic can be arrived at from either the qede Ethernet driver path:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: virtio_uml: Fix use-after-free after put_device in probe
When register_virtio_device() fails in virtio_uml_probe(),
the code sets vu_dev->registered = 1 even though
the device was not successfully registered.
This can lead to use-after-free or other issues.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wilc1000: avoid buffer overflow in WID string configuration
Fix the following copy overflow warning identified by Smatch checker.
drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/wlan_cfg.c:184 wilc_wlan_parse_response_frame()
error: '__memcpy()' 'cfg->s[i]->str' copy overflow (512 vs 65537)
This patch introduces size check before accessing the memory buffer.
The checks are base on the WID type of received data from the firmware.
For WID string configuration, the size limit is determined by individual
element size in 'struct wilc_cfg_str_vals' that is maintained in 'len' field
of 'struct wilc_cfg_str'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup: split cgroup_destroy_wq into 3 workqueues
A hung task can occur during [1] LTP cgroup testing when repeatedly
mounting/unmounting perf_event and net_prio controllers with
systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1. The hang manifests in
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() during root destruction.
Related case:
cgroup_fj_function_perf_event cgroup_fj_function.sh perf_event
cgroup_fj_function_net_prio cgroup_fj_function.sh net_prio

Root Cause:

mount perf_event umount net_prio
cgroup1_get_tree cgroup_kill_sb
rebind_subsystems // root destruction enqueues
// cgroup_destroy_wq
// kill all perf_event css
// one perf_event css A is dying
// css A offline enqueues cgroup_destroy_wq
// root destruction will be executed first
css_free_rwork_fn
cgroup_destroy_root
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline
// some perf descendants are dying
// cgroup_destroy_wq max_active = 1
// waiting for css A to die
Problem scenario:
1. CPU0 mounts perf_event (rebind_subsystems)
2. CPU1 unmounts net_prio (cgroup_kill_sb), queuing root destruction work
3. A dying perf_event CSS gets queued for offline after root destruction
4. Root destruction waits for offline completion, but offline work is
blocked behind root destruction in cgroup_destroy_wq (max_active=1)
Solution:
Split cgroup_destroy_wq into three dedicated workqueues:
cgroup_offline_wq – Handles CSS offline operations
cgroup_release_wq – Manages resource release
cgroup_free_wq – Performs final memory deallocation
This separation eliminates blocking in the CSS free path while waiting for
offline operations to complete.
