In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/client: Fully protect modes[] with dev->mode_config.mutex
The modes[] array contains pointers to modes on the connectors'
mode lists, which are protected by dev->mode_config.mutex.
Thus we need to extend modes[] the same protection or by the
time we use it the elements may already be pointing to
freed/reused memory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: Fix possible use-after-free issue on kprobe registration
When unloading a module, its state is changing MODULE_STATE_LIVE ->
MODULE_STATE_GOING -> MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. Each change will take
a time. `is_module_text_address()` and `__module_text_address()`
works with MODULE_STATE_LIVE and MODULE_STATE_GOING.
If we use `is_module_text_address()` and `__module_text_address()`
separately, there is a chance that the first one is succeeded but the
next one is failed because module->state becomes MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED
between those operations.
In `check_kprobe_address_safe()`, if the second `__module_text_address()`
is failed, that is ignored because it expected a kernel_text address.
But it may have failed simply because module->state has been changed
to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. In this case, arm_kprobe() will try to modify
non-exist module text address (use-after-free).
To fix this problem, we should not use separated `is_module_text_address()`
and `__module_text_address()`, but use only `__module_text_address()`
once and do `try_module_get(module)` which is only available with
MODULE_STATE_LIVE.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dyndbg: fix old BUG_ON in >control parser
Fix a BUG_ON from 2009. Even if it looks "unreachable" (I didn't
really look), lets make sure by removing it, doing pr_err and return
-EINVAL instead.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
VMCI: Fix memcpy() run-time warning in dg_dispatch_as_host()
Syzkaller hit 'WARNING in dg_dispatch_as_host' bug.
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 56) of single field "&dg_info->msg"
at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237 (size 24)
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1555 at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237
dg_dispatch_as_host+0x88e/0xa60 drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237
Some code commentry, based on my understanding:
544 #define VMCI_DG_SIZE(_dg) (VMCI_DG_HEADERSIZE + (size_t)(_dg)->payload_size)
/// This is 24 + payload_size
memcpy(&dg_info->msg, dg, dg_size);
Destination = dg_info->msg ---> this is a 24 byte
structure(struct vmci_datagram)
Source = dg --> this is a 24 byte structure (struct vmci_datagram)
Size = dg_size = 24 + payload_size
{payload_size = 56-24 =32} -- Syzkaller managed to set payload_size to 32.
35 struct delayed_datagram_info {
36 struct datagram_entry *entry;
37 struct work_struct work;
38 bool in_dg_host_queue;
39 /* msg and msg_payload must be together. */
40 struct vmci_datagram msg;
41 u8 msg_payload[];
42 };
So those extra bytes of payload are copied into msg_payload[], a run time
warning is seen while fuzzing with Syzkaller.
One possible way to fix the warning is to split the memcpy() into
two parts -- one -- direct assignment of msg and second taking care of payload.

in a structure."
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix possible memory leak in lpfc_rcv_padisc()
The call to lpfc_sli4_resume_rpi() in lpfc_rcv_padisc() may return an
unsuccessful status. In such cases, the elsiocb is not issued, the
completion is not called, and thus the elsiocb resource is leaked.
Check return value after calling lpfc_sli4_resume_rpi() and conditionally
release the elsiocb resource.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btintel: Fix null ptr deref in btintel_read_version
If hci_cmd_sync_complete() is triggered and skb is NULL, then
hdev->req_skb is NULL, which will cause this issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: send: handle path ref underflow in header iterate_inode_ref()
Change BUG_ON to proper error handling if building the path buffer
fails. The pointers are not printed so we don't accidentally leak kernel
addresses.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: handle chunk tree lookup error in btrfs_relocate_sys_chunks()
The unhandled case in btrfs_relocate_sys_chunks() loop is a corruption,
as it could be caused only by two impossible conditions:
- at first the search key is set up to look for a chunk tree item, with
offset -1, this is an inexact search and the key->offset will contain
the correct offset upon a successful search, a valid chunk tree item
cannot have an offset -1
- after first successful search, the found_key corresponds to a chunk
item, the offset is decremented by 1 before the next loop, it's
impossible to find a chunk item there due to alignment and size
constraints
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore/zone: Add a null pointer check to the psz_kmsg_read
kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity.
