In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: eliminate double free in error handling logic
Driver has a logic leak in ring data allocation/free,
where aq_ring_free could be called multiple times on same ring,
if system is under stress and got memory allocation error.
Ring pointer was used as an indicator of failure, but this is
not correct since only ring data is allocated/deallocated.
Ring itself is an array member.
Changing ring allocation functions to return error code directly.
This simplifies error handling and eliminates aq_ring_free
on higher layer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix deadlock with fiemap and extent locking
While working on the patchset to remove extent locking I got a lockdep
splat with fiemap and pagefaulting with my new extent lock replacement
lock.
This deadlock exists with our normal code, we just don't have lockdep
annotations with the extent locking so we've never noticed it.
Since we're copying the fiemap extent to user space on every iteration
we have the chance of pagefaulting. Because we hold the extent lock for
the entire range we could mkwrite into a range in the file that we have
mmap'ed. This would deadlock with the following stack trace
[<0>] lock_extent+0x28d/0x2f0

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x94/0x1a0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76
I wrote an fstest to reproduce this deadlock without my replacement lock
and verified that the deadlock exists with our existing locking.
To fix this simply don't take the extent lock for the entire duration of
the fiemap. This is safe in general because we keep track of where we
are when we're searching the tree, so if an ordered extent updates in
the middle of our fiemap call we'll still emit the correct extents
because we know what offset we were on before.
The only place we maintain the lock is searching delalloc. Since the
delalloc stuff can change during writeback we want to lock the extent
range so we have a consistent view of delalloc at the time we're
checking to see if we need to set the delalloc flag.
With this patch applied we no longer deadlock with my testcase.

Linux Kernel Bluetooth CMTP Module Double Free Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the CMTP module. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing further free operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-11977.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix memory leak when using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. Fix this up by properly
calling dput().

ALSA: usb-audio: Fix an out-of-bounds bug in __snd_usb_parse_audio_interface()
There may be a bad USB audio device with a USB ID of (0x04fa, 0x4201) and
the number of it's interfaces less than 4, an out-of-bounds read bug occurs
when parsing the interface descriptor for this device.
Fix this by checking the number of interfaces.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: emu10k1: Fix out of bounds access in snd_emu10k1_pcm_channel_alloc()
The voice allocator sometimes begins allocating from near the end of the
array and then wraps around, however snd_emu10k1_pcm_channel_alloc()
accesses the newly allocated voices as if it never wrapped around.
This results in out of bounds access if the first voice has a high enough
index so that first_voice + requested_voice_count > NUM_G (64).
The more voices are requested, the more likely it is for this to occur.
This was initially discovered using PipeWire, however it can be reproduced
by calling aplay multiple times with 16 channels:
aplay -r 48000 -D plughw:CARD=Live,DEV=3 -c 16 /dev/zero
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in sound/pci/emu10k1/emupcm.c:127:40

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/int340x_thermal: handle data_vault when the value is ZERO_SIZE_PTR
In some case, the GDDV returns a package with a buffer which has
zero length. It causes that kmemdup() returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x10).
Then the data_vault_read() got NULL point dereference problem when
accessing the 0x10 value in data_vault.
[ 71.024560] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
0000000000000010
This patch uses ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR() for checking ZERO_SIZE_PTR or
NULL value in data_vault.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: usb-storage: Prevent divide-by-0 error in isd200_ata_command
The isd200 sub-driver in usb-storage uses the HEADS and SECTORS values
in the ATA ID information to calculate cylinder and head values when
creating a CDB for READ or WRITE commands. The calculation involves
division and modulus operations, which will cause a crash if either of
these values is 0. While this never happens with a genuine device, it
could happen with a flawed or subversive emulation, as reported by the
syzbot fuzzer.
Protect against this possibility by refusing to bind to the device if
either the ATA_ID_HEADS or ATA_ID_SECTORS value in the device's ID
information is 0. This requires isd200_Initialization() to return a
negative error code when initialization fails; currently it always
returns 0 (even when there is an error).
