In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Use device rbtree in iopf reporting path
The existing I/O page fault handler currently locates the PCI device by
calling pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(). This function searches the list
of all PCI devices until the desired device is found. To improve lookup
efficiency, replace it with device_rbtree_find() to search the device
within the probed device rbtree.
The I/O page fault is initiated by the device, which does not have any
synchronization mechanism with the software to ensure that the device
stays in the probed device tree. Theoretically, a device could be released
by the IOMMU subsystem after device_rbtree_find() and before
iopf_get_dev_fault_param(), which would cause a use-after-free problem.
Add a mutex to synchronize the I/O page fault reporting path and the IOMMU
release device path. This lock doesn't introduce any performance overhead,
as the conflict between I/O page fault reporting and device releasing is
very rare.

Bytes 40-65535 of 65536 are uninitialized
Memory access of size 65536 starts at ffff888045a40000
This happens, because we're copying a 'struct btrfs_data_container' back
to user-space. This btrfs_data_container is allocated in
'init_data_container()' via kvmalloc(), which does not zero-fill the
memory.
Fix this by using kvzalloc() which zeroes out the memory on allocation.

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>] 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.
