In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix invalid address access in lookup_rec() when index is 0
KASAN reported follow problem:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in lookup_rec
Read of size 8 at addr ffff000199270ff0 by task modprobe
CPU: 2 Comm: modprobe
Call trace:
kasan_report
__asan_load8
lookup_rec
ftrace_location
arch_check_ftrace_location
check_kprobe_address_safe
register_kprobe
When checking pg->records[pg->index - 1].ip in lookup_rec(), it can get a
pg which is newly added to ftrace_pages_start in ftrace_process_locs().
Before the first pg->index++, index is 0 and accessing pg->records[-1].ip
will cause this problem.
Don't check the ip when pg->index is 0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: smsc95xx: Limit packet length to skb->len
Packet length retrieved from descriptor may be larger than
the actual socket buffer length. In such case the cloned
skb passed up the network stack will leak kernel memory contents.

The command was completed in the abort path during driver unload with a
lock held, causing the warning in abort path. Hence complete the command
without any lock held.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure
Check alloc_precpu()'s return value and return an error from
dm_stats_init() if it fails. Update alloc_dev() to fail if
dm_stats_init() does.
Otherwise, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in dm_stats_cleanup()
even if dm-stats isn't being actively used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_audio: don't let userspace block driver unbind
In the unbind callback for f_uac1 and f_uac2, a call to snd_card_free()
via g_audio_cleanup() will disconnect the card and then wait for all
resources to be released, which happens when the refcount falls to zero.
Since userspace can keep the refcount incremented by not closing the
relevant file descriptor, the call to unbind may block indefinitely.
This can cause a deadlock during reboot, as evidenced by the following
blocked task observed on my machine:
task:reboot state:D stack:0 pid:2827 ppid:569 flags:0x0000000c

__do_sys_reboot+0xcc/0x1ec
__arm64_sys_reboot+0x28/0x30
invoke_syscall+0x4c/0x110
...
The issue can also be observed by opening the card with arecord and
then stopping the process through the shell before unbinding:
# arecord -D hw:UAC2Gadget -f S32_LE -c 2 -r 48000 /dev/null
Recording WAVE '/dev/null' : Signed 32 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
^Z[1]+ Stopped arecord -D hw:UAC2Gadget -f S32_LE -c 2 -r 48000 /dev/null
# echo gadget.0 > /sys/bus/gadget/drivers/configfs-gadget/unbind
(observe that the unbind command never finishes)
Fix the problem by using snd_card_free_when_closed() instead, which will
still disconnect the card as desired, but defer the task of freeing the
resources to the core once userspace closes its file descriptor.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: VMX: Do _all_ initialization before exposing /dev/kvm to userspace
Call kvm_init() only after _all_ setup is complete, as kvm_init() exposes
/dev/kvm to userspace and thus allows userspace to create VMs (and call
other ioctls). E.g. KVM will encounter a NULL pointer when attempting to
add a vCPU to the per-CPU loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list if userspace is able to
create a VM before vmx_init() configures said list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel-infoleak in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy()
The ioctl helper function nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy(), which exchanges a
metadata array to/from user space, may copy uninitialized buffer regions
to user space memory for read-only ioctl commands NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO
and NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO.
This can occur when the element size of the user space metadata given by
the v_size member of the argument nilfs_argv structure is larger than the
size of the metadata element (nilfs_suinfo structure or nilfs_cpinfo
structure) on the file system side.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Check kzalloc() in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read()
If kzalloc() fails in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read(), then we rely on
lpfc_read_object()'s routine to NULL check pdata.
Currently, an early return error is thrown from lpfc_read_object() to
protect us from NULL ptr dereference, but the errno code is -ENODEV.
Change the errno code to a more appropriate -ENOMEM.
