Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: avoid ref leak in nfsd_open_local_fh()
If two calls to nfsd_open_local_fh() race and both successfully call
nfsd_file_acquire_local(), they will both get an extra reference to the
net to accompany the file reference stored in *pnf.
One of them will fail to store (using xchg()) the file reference in
*pnf and will drop that reference but WON'T drop the accompanying
reference to the net. This leak means that when the nfs server is shut
down it will hang in nfsd_shutdown_net() waiting for
&nn->nfsd_net_free_done.
This patch adds the missing nfsd_net_put().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: mqprio: fix stack out-of-bounds write in tc entry parsing
TCA_MQPRIO_TC_ENTRY_INDEX is validated using
NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U32, TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE), which allows the value
TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE (16). This leads to a 4-byte out-of-bounds stack
write in the fp[] array, which only has room for 16 elements (0–15).
Fix this by changing the policy to allow only up to TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE - 1.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: fbnic: unlink NAPIs from queues on error to open
CI hit a UaF in fbnic in the AF_XDP portion of the queues.py test.
The UaF is in the __sk_mark_napi_id_once() call in xsk_bind(),
NAPI has been freed. Looks like the device failed to open earlier,
and we lack clearing the NAPI pointer from the queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: fix client side handling of tls alerts
A security exploit was discovered in NFS over TLS in tls_alert_recv
due to its assumption that there is valid data in the msghdr's
iterator's kvec.
Instead, this patch proposes the rework how control messages are
setup and used by sock_recvmsg().
If no control message structure is setup, kTLS layer will read and
process TLS data record types. As soon as it encounters a TLS control
message, it would return an error. At that point, NFS can setup a kvec
backed control buffer and read in the control message such as a TLS
alert. Scott found that a msg iterator can advance the kvec pointer
as a part of the copy process thus we need to revert the iterator
before calling into the tls_alert_recv.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: fix a UAF when vma->mm is freed after vma->vm_refcnt got dropped
By inducing delays in the right places, Jann Horn created a reproducer for
a hard to hit UAF issue that became possible after VMAs were allowed to be
recycled by adding SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to their cache.
Race description is borrowed from Jann's discovery report:
lock_vma_under_rcu() looks up a VMA locklessly with mas_walk() under
rcu_read_lock(). At that point, the VMA may be concurrently freed, and it
can be recycled by another process. vma_start_read() then increments the
vma->vm_refcnt (if it is in an acceptable range), and if this succeeds,
vma_start_read() can return a recycled VMA.
In this scenario where the VMA has been recycled, lock_vma_under_rcu()
will then detect the mismatching ->vm_mm pointer and drop the VMA through
vma_end_read(), which calls vma_refcount_put(). vma_refcount_put() drops
the refcount and then calls rcuwait_wake_up() using a copy of vma->vm_mm.
This is wrong: It implicitly assumes that the caller is keeping the VMA's
mm alive, but in this scenario the caller has no relation to the VMA's mm,
so the rcuwait_wake_up() can cause UAF.
The diagram depicting the race:
T1 T2 T3
== == ==
lock_vma_under_rcu
mas_walk
<VMA gets removed from mm>
mmap
<the same VMA is reallocated>
vma_start_read
__refcount_inc_not_zero_limited_acquire
munmap
__vma_enter_locked
refcount_add_not_zero
vma_end_read
vma_refcount_put
__refcount_dec_and_test
rcuwait_wait_event
<finish operation>
rcuwait_wake_up [UAF]
Note that rcuwait_wait_event() in T3 does not block because refcount was
already dropped by T1. At this point T3 can exit and free the mm causing
UAF in T1.
To avoid this we move vma->vm_mm verification into vma_start_read() and
grab vma->vm_mm to stabilize it before vma_refcount_put() operation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: Harden s32ton() against conversion to 0 bits
Testing by the syzbot fuzzer showed that the HID core gets a
shift-out-of-bounds exception when it tries to convert a 32-bit
quantity to a 0-bit quantity. Ideally this should never occur, but
there are buggy devices and some might have a report field with size
set to zero; we shouldn't reject the report or the device just because
of that.
Instead, harden the s32ton() routine so that it returns a reasonable
result instead of crashing when it is called with the number of bits
set to 0 -- the same as what snto32() does.

EzGED3 3.5.0 contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file read vulnerability due to improper access control and insufficient input validation in a script exposed via the web interface. A remote attacker can supply a crafted path parameter to a PHP script to read arbitrary files from the filesystem. The script lacks both authentication checks and secure path handling, allowing directory traversal attacks (e.g., ../../../) to access sensitive files such as configuration files, database dumps, source code, and password reset tokens. If phpMyAdmin is exposed, extracted credentials can be used for direct administrative access. In environments without such tools, attacker-controlled file reads still allow full database extraction by targeting raw MySQL data files. The vendor states that the issue is fixed in 3.5.72.27183.
