Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix out-of-bounds array access in ACPI package parsing
The hp_populate_*_elements_from_package() functions in the hp-bioscfg
driver contain out-of-bounds array access vulnerabilities.
These functions parse ACPI packages into internal data structures using
a for loop with index variable 'elem' that iterates through
enum_obj/integer_obj/order_obj/password_obj/string_obj arrays.
When processing multi-element fields like PREREQUISITES and
ENUM_POSSIBLE_VALUES, these functions read multiple consecutive array
elements using expressions like 'enum_obj[elem + reqs]' and
'enum_obj[elem + pos_values]' within nested loops.
The bug is that the bounds check only validated elem, but did not consider
the additional offset when accessing elem + reqs or elem + pos_values.
The fix changes the bounds check to validate the actual accessed index.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
e1000: fix OOB in e1000_tbi_should_accept()
In e1000_tbi_should_accept() we read the last byte of the frame via
'data[length - 1]' to evaluate the TBI workaround. If the descriptor-
reported length is zero or larger than the actual RX buffer size, this
read goes out of bounds and can hit unrelated slab objects. The issue
is observed from the NAPI receive path (e1000_clean_rx_irq):

page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected
==================================================================
This happens because the TBI check unconditionally dereferences the last
byte without validating the reported length first:
u8 last_byte = *(data + length - 1);
Fix by rejecting the frame early if the length is zero, or if it exceeds
adapter->rx_buffer_len. This preserves the TBI workaround semantics for
valid frames and prevents touching memory beyond the RX buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: asix: validate PHY address before use
The ASIX driver reads the PHY address from the USB device via
asix_read_phy_addr(). A malicious or faulty device can return an
invalid address (>= PHY_MAX_ADDR), which causes a warning in
mdiobus_get_phy():
addr 207 out of range
WARNING: drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:76
Validate the PHY address in asix_read_phy_addr() and remove the
now-redundant check in ax88172a.c.

[ 216.408054] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt
For XDP_TX action, the xdp_buff is converted to xdp_frame by
xdp_convert_buff_to_frame(). The memory type of the resulting xdp_frame
depends on the memory type of the xdp_buff. For page pool based xdp_buff
it produces xdp_frame with memory type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL. For zero copy
XSK pool based xdp_buff it produces xdp_frame with memory type
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_ORDER0. However, stmmac_xdp_xmit_back() does not check the
memory type and always uses the page pool type, this leads to invalid
mappings and causes the crash. Therefore, check the xdp_buff memory type
in stmmac_xdp_xmit_back() to fix this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: Check for the presence of LS_NLA_TYPE_DGID correctly
The netlink response for RDMA_NL_LS_OP_IP_RESOLVE should always have a
LS_NLA_TYPE_DGID attribute, it is invalid if it does not.
Use the nl parsing logic properly and call nla_parse_deprecated() to fill
the nlattrs array and then directly index that array to get the data for
the DGID. Just fail if it is NULL.
Remove the for loop searching for the nla, and squash the validation and
parsing into one function.
Fixes an uninitialized read from the stack triggered by userspace if it
does not provide the DGID to a kernel initiated RDMA_NL_LS_OP_IP_RESOLVE
query.
