In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: rfcomm: Fix null-ptr-deref in rfcomm_check_security
During our fuzz testing of the connection and disconnection process at the
RFCOMM layer, we discovered this bug. By comparing the packets from a
normal connection and disconnection process with the testcase that
triggered a KASAN report. We analyzed the cause of this bug as follows:
1. In the packets captured during a normal connection, the host sends a
`Read Encryption Key Size` type of `HCI_CMD` packet
(Command Opcode: 0x1408) to the controller to inquire the length of
encryption key.After receiving this packet, the controller immediately
replies with a Command Completepacket (Event Code: 0x0e) to return the
Encryption Key Size.
2. In our fuzz test case, the timing of the controller's response to this
packet was delayed to an unexpected point: after the RFCOMM and L2CAP
layers had disconnected but before the HCI layer had disconnected.
3. After receiving the Encryption Key Size Response at the time described
in point 2, the host still called the rfcomm_check_security function.
However, by this time `struct l2cap_conn *conn = l2cap_pi(sk)->chan->conn;`
had already been released, and when the function executed
`return hci_conn_security(conn->hcon, d->sec_level, auth_type, d->out);`,
specifically when accessing `conn->hcon`, a null-ptr-deref error occurred.
To fix this bug, check if `sk->sk_state` is BT_CLOSED before calling
rfcomm_recv_frame in rfcomm_process_rx.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
quota: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Below race may cause NULL pointer dereference
P1 P2
dquot_free_inode quota_off
drop_dquot_ref
remove_dquot_ref
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
srcu_read_lock
dquots[cnt]) != NULL (1)
dquots[type] = NULL (2)
spin_lock(&dquots[cnt]->dq_dqb_lock) (3)
....
If dquot_free_inode(or other routines) checks inode's quota pointers (1)
before quota_off sets it to NULL(2) and use it (3) after that, NULL pointer
dereference will be triggered.
So let's fix it by using a temporary pointer to avoid this issue.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: Add protection for bmp length out of range

vmlinux nf_confirm() + 188
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:137>
Due to abnormal data in skb->data, the extension bitmap length
exceeds 32 when decoding ras message then uses the length to make
a shift operation. It will change into negative after several loop.
UBSAN load could detect a negative shift as an undefined behaviour
and reports exception.
So we add the protection to avoid the length exceeding 32. Or else
it will return out of range error and stop decoding.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix WARNING in _copy_from_iter
Syzkaller reports a warning in _copy_from_iter because an
iov_iter is supposedly used in the wrong direction. The reason
is that syzcaller managed to generate a request with
a transfer direction of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV. This instructs
the kernel to copy user buffers into the kernel, read into
the copied buffers and then copy the data back to user space.
Thus the iovec is used in both directions.
Detect this situation in the block layer and construct a new
iterator with the correct direction for the copy-in.

An abort that is responded to by iSCSI itself is added to tmr_list but does

be never complete because it was not started in target core.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: do not wait in vain when unloading module
The module exit path has race between deleting all controllers and
freeing 'left over IDs'. To prevent double free a synchronization
between nvme_delete_ctrl and ida_destroy has been added by the initial
commit.
There is some logic around trying to prevent from hanging forever in
wait_for_completion, though it does not handling all cases. E.g.
blktests is able to reproduce the situation where the module unload
hangs forever.
If we completely rely on the cleanup code executed from the
nvme_delete_ctrl path, all IDs will be freed eventually. This makes
calling ida_destroy unnecessary. We only have to ensure that all
nvme_delete_ctrl code has been executed before we leave
nvme_fc_exit_module. This is done by flushing the nvme_delete_wq
workqueue.
While at it, remove the unused nvme_fc_wq workqueue too.
