In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spi-mt65xx: Fix NULL pointer access in interrupt handler
The TX buffer in spi_transfer can be a NULL pointer, so the interrupt
handler may end up writing to the invalid memory and cause crashes.
Add a check to trans->tx_buf before using it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-af: Use separate handlers for interrupts
For PF to AF interrupt vector and VF to AF vector same
interrupt handler is registered which is causing race condition.
When two interrupts are raised to two CPUs at same time
then two cores serve same event corrupting the data.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: Fix clk_core_get NULL dereference
It is possible for clk_core_get to dereference a NULL in the following
sequence:
clk_core_get()
of_clk_get_hw_from_clkspec()
__of_clk_get_hw_from_provider()
__clk_get_hw()
__clk_get_hw() can return NULL which is dereferenced by clk_core_get() at
hw->core.
Prior to commit dde4eff47c82 ("clk: Look for parents with clkdev based
clk_lookups") the check IS_ERR_OR_NULL() was performed which would have
caught the NULL.
Reading the description of this function it talks about returning NULL but
that cannot be so at the moment.
Update the function to check for hw before dereferencing it and return NULL
if hw is NULL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix potential NULL pointer dereferences in 'dcn10_set_output_transfer_func()'
The 'stream' pointer is used in dcn10_set_output_transfer_func() before
the check if 'stream' is NULL.
Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn10/dcn10_hwseq.c:1892 dcn10_set_output_transfer_func() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'stream' (see line 1875)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/tegra: dsi: Add missing check for of_find_device_by_node
Add check for the return value of of_find_device_by_node() and return
the error if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rds: fix WARNING in rds_conn_connect_if_down
If connection isn't established yet, get_mr() will fail, trigger connection after
get_mr().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: null check for nla_nest_start
nla_nest_start() may fail and return NULL. Insert a check and set errno
based on other call sites within the same source code.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: nv04: Fix out of bounds access
When Output Resource (dcb->or) value is assigned in
fabricate_dcb_output(), there may be out of bounds access to
dac_users array in case dcb->or is zero because ffs(dcb->or) is
used as index there.
The 'or' argument of fabricate_dcb_output() must be interpreted as a
number of bit to set, not value.
Utilize macros from 'enum nouveau_or' in calls instead of hardcoding.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial/pmac_zilog: Remove flawed mitigation for rx irq flood
The mitigation was intended to stop the irq completely. That may be
better than a hard lock-up but it turns out that you get a crash anyway
if you're using pmac_zilog as a serial console:
ttyPZ0: pmz: rx irq flood !
BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, swapper/0
That's because the pr_err() call in pmz_receive_chars() results in
pmz_console_write() attempting to lock a spinlock already locked in
pmz_interrupt(). With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y, this produces a fatal
BUG splat. The spinlock in question is the one in struct uart_port.
Even when it's not fatal, the serial port rx function ceases to work.
Also, the iteration limit doesn't play nicely with QEMU, as can be
seen in the bug report linked below.
A web search for other reports of the error message "pmz: rx irq flood"
didn't produce anything. So I don't think this code is needed any more.
Remove it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix OOB in nilfs_set_de_type
The size of the nilfs_type_by_mode array in the fs/nilfs2/dir.c file is
defined as "S_IFMT >> S_SHIFT", but the nilfs_set_de_type() function,
which uses this array, specifies the index to read from the array in the
same way as "(mode & S_IFMT) >> S_SHIFT".
static void nilfs_set_de_type(struct nilfs_dir_entry *de, struct inode
*inode)
{
umode_t mode = inode->i_mode;
de->file_type = nilfs_type_by_mode[(mode & S_IFMT)>>S_SHIFT]; // oob
}
However, when the index is determined this way, an out-of-bounds (OOB)
error occurs by referring to an index that is 1 larger than the array size
when the condition "mode & S_IFMT == S_IFMT" is satisfied. Therefore, a
patch to resize the nilfs_type_by_mode array should be applied to prevent
OOB errors.
