In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: fix the 'para' buffer size to avoid reading out of bounds
Set the size to 6 instead of 2, since 'para' array is passed to
'rtw_fw_bt_wifi_control(rtwdev, para[0], ¶[1])', which reads
5 bytes:
void rtw_fw_bt_wifi_control(struct rtw_dev *rtwdev, u8 op_code, u8 *data)
{
...
SET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA1(h2c_pkt, *data);
SET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA2(h2c_pkt, *(data + 1));
...
SET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA5(h2c_pkt, *(data + 4));
Detected using the static analysis tool - Svace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: bcm: rpi: Add NULL check in raspberrypi_clk_register()
devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
raspberrypi_clk_register() does not check for this case, which results
in a NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix error flow upon firmware failure for RQ destruction
Upon RQ destruction if the firmware command fails which is the
last resource to be destroyed some SW resources were already cleaned
regardless of the failure.
Now properly rollback the object to its original state upon such failure.
In order to avoid a use-after free in case someone tries to destroy the
object again, which results in the following kernel trace:
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prevent overflow in lookup table allocation
When calculating the lookup table size, ensure the following
multiplication does not overflow:
- desc->field_len[] maximum value is U8_MAX multiplied by
NFT_PIPAPO_GROUPS_PER_BYTE(f) that can be 2, worst case.
- NFT_PIPAPO_BUCKETS(f->bb) is 2^8, worst case.
- sizeof(unsigned long), from sizeof(*f->lt), lt in
struct nft_pipapo_field.
Then, use check_mul_overflow() to multiply by bucket size and then use
check_add_overflow() to the alignment for avx2 (if needed). Finally, add
lt_size_check_overflow() helper and use it to consolidate this.
While at it, replace leftover allocation using the GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for consistency, in pipapo_resize().

The reason is: in fuzzed image, sbi->total_valid_block_count is
inconsistent w/ mapped blocks indexed by inode, so, we should
not trigger panic for such case, instead, let's print log and
set fsck flag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: aqc111: fix error handling of usbnet read calls
Syzkaller, courtesy of syzbot, identified an error (see report [1]) in
aqc111 driver, caused by incomplete sanitation of usb read calls'
results. This problem is quite similar to the one fixed in commit
920a9fa27e78 ("net: asix: add proper error handling of usb read errors").
For instance, usbnet_read_cmd() may read fewer than 'size' bytes,
even if the caller expected the full amount, and aqc111_read_cmd()
will not check its result properly. As [1] shows, this may lead
to MAC address in aqc111_bind() being only partly initialized,
triggering KMSAN warnings.
Fix the issue by verifying that the number of bytes read is
as expected and not less.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: Abort software beacon handling if disabled
A malicious USB device can send a WMI_SWBA_EVENTID event from an
ath9k_htc-managed device before beaconing has been enabled. This causes
a device-by-zero error in the driver, leading to either a crash or an
out of bounds read.
Prevent this by aborting the handling in ath9k_htc_swba() if beacons are
not enabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hisi_acc_vfio_pci: fix XQE dma address error
The dma addresses of EQE and AEQE are wrong after migration and
results in guest kernel-mode encryption services failure.
Comparing the definition of hardware registers, we found that
there was an error when the data read from the register was
combined into an address. Therefore, the address combination
sequence needs to be corrected.
Even after fixing the above problem, we still have an issue
where the Guest from an old kernel can get migrated to
new kernel and may result in wrong data.
In order to ensure that the address is correct after migration,
if an old magic number is detected, the dma address needs to be
updated.
