Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btintel: serialize btintel_hw_error() with hci_req_sync_lock
btintel_hw_error() issues two __hci_cmd_sync() calls (HCI_OP_RESET
and Intel exception-info retrieval) without holding
hci_req_sync_lock(). This lets it race against
hci_dev_do_close() -> btintel_shutdown_combined(), which also runs
__hci_cmd_sync() under the same lock. When both paths manipulate
hdev->req_status/req_rsp concurrently, the close path may free the
response skb first, and the still-running hw_error path hits a
slab-use-after-free in kfree_skb().
Wrap the whole recovery sequence in hci_req_sync_lock/unlock so it
is serialized with every other synchronous HCI command issuer.
Below is the data race report and the kasan report:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix use-after-free of CPPI descriptor in RX path
cppi5_hdesc_get_psdata() returns a pointer into the CPPI descriptor.
In both emac_rx_packet() and emac_rx_packet_zc(), the descriptor is
freed via k3_cppi_desc_pool_free() before the psdata pointer is used
by emac_rx_timestamp(), which dereferences psdata[0] and psdata[1].
This constitutes a use-after-free on every received packet that goes
through the timestamp path.
Defer the descriptor free until after all accesses through the psdata
pointer are complete. For emac_rx_packet(), move the free into the
requeue label so both early-exit and success paths free the descriptor
after all accesses are done. For emac_rx_packet_zc(), move the free to
the end of the loop body after emac_dispatch_skb_zc() (which calls
emac_rx_timestamp()) has returned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
team: fix header_ops type confusion with non-Ethernet ports
Similar to commit 950803f72547 ("bonding: fix type confusion in
bond_setup_by_slave()") team has the same class of header_ops type
confusion.
For non-Ethernet ports, team_setup_by_port() copies port_dev->header_ops
directly. When the team device later calls dev_hard_header() or
dev_parse_header(), these callbacks can run with the team net_device
instead of the real lower device, so netdev_priv(dev) is interpreted as
the wrong private type and can crash.
The syzbot report shows a crash in bond_header_create(), but the root
cause is in team: the topology is gre -> bond -> team, and team calls
the inherited header_ops with its own net_device instead of the lower
device, so bond_header_create() receives a team device and interprets
netdev_priv() as bonding private data, causing a type confusion crash.
Fix this by introducing team header_ops wrappers for create/parse,
selecting a team port under RCU, and calling the lower device callbacks
with port->dev, so each callback always sees the correct net_device
context.
Also pass the selected lower device to the lower parse callback, so
recursion is bounded in stacked non-Ethernet topologies and parse
callbacks always run with the correct device context.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Fix wildcard bind conflict check when using hash2
When binding a udp_sock to a local address and port, UDP uses
two hashes (udptable->hash and udptable->hash2) for collision
detection. The current code switches to "hash2" when
hslot->count > 10.
"hash2" is keyed by local address and local port.
"hash" is keyed by local port only.
The issue can be shown in the following bind sequence (pseudo code):
bind(fd1, "[fd00::1]:8888")
bind(fd2, "[fd00::2]:8888")
bind(fd3, "[fd00::3]:8888")
bind(fd4, "[fd00::4]:8888")
bind(fd5, "[fd00::5]:8888")
bind(fd6, "[fd00::6]:8888")
bind(fd7, "[fd00::7]:8888")
bind(fd8, "[fd00::8]:8888")
bind(fd9, "[fd00::9]:8888")
bind(fd10, "[fd00::10]:8888")
/* Correctly return -EADDRINUSE because "hash" is used
* instead of "hash2". udp_lib_lport_inuse() detects the
* conflict.
*/
bind(fail_fd, "[::]:8888")
/* After one more socket is bound to "[fd00::11]:8888",
* hslot->count exceeds 10 and "hash2" is used instead.
*/
bind(fd11, "[fd00::11]:8888")
bind(fail_fd, "[::]:8888") /* succeeds unexpectedly */
The same issue applies to the IPv4 wildcard address "0.0.0.0"
and the IPv4-mapped wildcard address "::ffff:0.0.0.0". For
example, if there are existing sockets bound to
"192.168.1.[1-11]:8888", then binding "0.0.0.0:8888" or
"[::ffff:0.0.0.0]:8888" can also miss the conflict when
hslot->count > 10.
TCP inet_csk_get_port() already has the correct check in
inet_use_bhash2_on_bind(). Rename it to
inet_use_hash2_on_bind() and move it to inet_hashtables.h
so udp.c can reuse it in this fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Initialize free_qp completion before using it
In irdma_create_qp, if ib_copy_to_udata fails, it will call
irdma_destroy_qp to clean up which will attempt to wait on
the free_qp completion, which is not initialized yet. Fix this
by initializing the completion before the ib_copy_to_udata call.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/efa: Fix use of completion ctx after free
On admin queue completion handling, if the admin command completed with
error we print data from the completion context. The issue is that we
already freed the completion context in polling/interrupts handler which
means we print data from context in an unknown state (it might be
already used again).
Change the admin submission flow so alloc/dealloc of the context will be
symmetric and dealloc will be called after any potential use of the
context.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: use the current queue number for stats
There's a potential mismatch between the memory reserved for statistics
and the amount of memory written.
gem_get_sset_count() correctly computes the number of stats based on the
active queues, whereas gem_get_ethtool_stats() indiscriminately copies
data using the maximum number of queues, and in the case the number of
active queues is less than MACB_MAX_QUEUES, this results in a OOB write
as observed in the KASAN splat.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ctnetlink: use netlink policy range checks
Replace manual range and mask validations with netlink policy
annotations in ctnetlink code paths, so that the netlink core rejects
invalid values early and can generate extack errors.
- CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE: reject values > TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_SENT2 at
policy level, removing the manual >= TCP_CONNTRACK_MAX check.
- CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_WSCALE_ORIGINAL/REPLY: reject values > TCP_MAX_WSCALE
(14). The normal TCP option parsing path already clamps to this value,
but the ctnetlink path accepted 0-255, causing undefined behavior when
used as a u32 shift count.
- CTA_FILTER_ORIG_FLAGS/REPLY_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with
CTA_FILTER_F_ALL, removing the manual mask checks.
- CTA_EXPECT_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with NF_CT_EXPECT_MASK, adding
a new mask define grouping all valid expect flags.
Extracted from a broader nf-next patch by Florian Westphal, scoped to
ctnetlink for the fixes tree.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: clamp SCO altsetting table indices
btusb_work() maps the number of active SCO links to USB alternate
settings through a three-entry lookup table when CVSD traffic uses
transparent voice settings. The lookup currently indexes alts[] with
data->sco_num - 1 without first constraining sco_num to the number of
available table entries.
While the table only defines alternate settings for up to three SCO
links, data->sco_num comes from hci_conn_num() and is used directly.
Cap the lookup to the last table entry before indexing it so the
driver keeps selecting the highest supported alternate setting without
reading past alts[].
