In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: s3fb: Check the size of screen before memset_io()
In the function s3fb_set_par(), the value of 'screen_size' is
calculated by the user input. If the user provides the improper value,
the value of 'screen_size' may larger than 'info->screen_size', which
may cause the following bug:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm raid: fix address sanitizer warning in raid_status
There is this warning when using a kernel with the address sanitizer
and running this testsuite:
https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-tests/-/tree/main/storage/swraid/scsi_raid

The warning is caused by reading conf->max_nr_stripes in raid_status. The
code in raid_status reads mddev->private, casts it to struct r5conf and
reads the entry max_nr_stripes.
However, if we have different raid type than 4/5/6, mddev->private
doesn't point to struct r5conf; it may point to struct r0conf, struct
r1conf, struct r10conf or struct mpconf. If we cast a pointer to one
of these structs to struct r5conf, we will be reading invalid memory
and KASAN warns about it.
Fix this bug by reading struct r5conf only if raid type is 4, 5 or 6.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm raid: fix address sanitizer warning in raid_resume
There is a KASAN warning in raid_resume when running the lvm test
lvconvert-raid.sh. The reason for the warning is that mddev->raid_disks
is greater than rs->raid_disks, so the loop touches one entry beyond
the allocated length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: don't allow the same type rq_qos add more than once
In our test of iocost, we encountered some list add/del corruptions of
inner_walk list in ioc_timer_fn.
The reason can be described as follows:
cpu 0 cpu 1
ioc_qos_write ioc_qos_write
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
}
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
...
}
When the io.cost.qos file is written by two cpus concurrently, rq_qos may
be added to one disk twice. In that case, there will be two iocs enabled
and running on one disk. They own different iocgs on their active list. In
the ioc_timer_fn function, because of the iocgs from two iocs have the
same root iocg, the root iocg's walk_list may be overwritten by each other
and this leads to list add/del corruptions in building or destroying the
inner_walk list.
And so far, the blk-rq-qos framework works in case that one instance for
one type rq_qos per queue by default. This patch make this explicit and
also fix the crash above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scpi: Ensure scpi_info is not assigned if the probe fails
When scpi probe fails, at any point, we need to ensure that the scpi_info
is not set and will remain NULL until the probe succeeds. If it is not
taken care, then it could result use-after-free as the value is exported
via get_scpi_ops() and could refer to a memory allocated via devm_kzalloc()
but freed when the probe fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in dev_parse_header_protocol when skb->dev is null
Fixes a NULL pointer derefence bug triggered from tap driver.
When tap_get_user calls virtio_net_hdr_to_skb the skb->dev is null
(in tap.c skb->dev is set after the call to virtio_net_hdr_to_skb)
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb calls dev_parse_header_protocol which
needs skb->dev field to be valid.
The line that trigers the bug is in dev_parse_header_protocol
(dev is at offset 0x10 from skb and is stored in RAX register)
if (!dev->header_ops || !dev->header_ops->parse_protocol)
22e1: mov 0x10(%rbx),%rax
22e5: mov 0x230(%rax),%rax
Setting skb->dev before the call in tap.c fixes the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: Fix memleak in aa_simple_write_to_buffer()
When copy_from_user failed, the memory is freed by kvfree. however the
management struct and data blob are allocated independently, so only
kvfree(data) cause a memleak issue here. Use aa_put_loaddata(data) to
fix this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix reference count leak in aa_pivotroot()
The aa_pivotroot() function has a reference counting bug in a specific
path. When aa_replace_current_label() returns on success, the function
forgets to decrement the reference count of “target”, which is
increased earlier by build_pivotroot(), causing a reference leak.
Fix it by decreasing the refcount of “target” in that path.
