In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: fix the 'para' buffer size to avoid reading out of bounds
Set the size to 6 instead of 2, since 'para' array is passed to
'rtw_fw_bt_wifi_control(rtwdev, para[0], ¶[1])', which reads
5 bytes:
void rtw_fw_bt_wifi_control(struct rtw_dev *rtwdev, u8 op_code, u8 *data)
{
...
SET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA1(h2c_pkt, *data);
SET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA2(h2c_pkt, *(data + 1));
...
SET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA5(h2c_pkt, *(data + 4));

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix error flow upon firmware failure for RQ destruction
Upon RQ destruction if the firmware command fails which is the
last resource to be destroyed some SW resources were already cleaned
regardless of the failure.
Now properly rollback the object to its original state upon such failure.
In order to avoid a use-after free in case someone tries to destroy the
object again, which results in the following kernel trace:
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

The reason is: in fuzzed image, sbi->total_valid_block_count is
inconsistent w/ mapped blocks indexed by inode, so, we should
not trigger panic for such case, instead, let's print log and
set fsck flag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: aqc111: fix error handling of usbnet read calls
Syzkaller, courtesy of syzbot, identified an error (see report [1]) in
aqc111 driver, caused by incomplete sanitation of usb read calls'
results. This problem is quite similar to the one fixed in commit
920a9fa27e78 ("net: asix: add proper error handling of usb read errors").
For instance, usbnet_read_cmd() may read fewer than 'size' bytes,
even if the caller expected the full amount, and aqc111_read_cmd()
will not check its result properly. As [1] shows, this may lead
to MAC address in aqc111_bind() being only partly initialized,
triggering KMSAN warnings.
Fix the issue by verifying that the number of bytes read is
as expected and not less.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: Abort software beacon handling if disabled
A malicious USB device can send a WMI_SWBA_EVENTID event from an
ath9k_htc-managed device before beaconing has been enabled. This causes
a device-by-zero error in the driver, leading to either a crash or an
out of bounds read.
Prevent this by aborting the handling in ath9k_htc_swba() if beacons are
not enabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
calipso: Don't call calipso functions for AF_INET sk.
syzkaller reported a null-ptr-deref in txopt_get(). [0]
The offset 0x70 was of struct ipv6_txoptions in struct ipv6_pinfo,
so struct ipv6_pinfo was NULL there.
However, this never happens for IPv6 sockets as inet_sk(sk)->pinet6
is always set in inet6_create(), meaning the socket was not IPv6 one.
The root cause is missing validation in netlbl_conn_setattr().
netlbl_conn_setattr() switches branches based on struct
sockaddr.sa_family, which is passed from userspace. However,
netlbl_conn_setattr() does not check if the address family matches
the socket.
The syzkaller must have called connect() for an IPv6 address on
an IPv4 socket.
We have a proper validation in tcp_v[46]_connect(), but
security_socket_connect() is called in the earlier stage.
Let's copy the validation to netlbl_conn_setattr().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: renesas_usbhs: Reorder clock handling and power management in probe
Reorder the initialization sequence in `usbhs_probe()` to enable runtime
PM before accessing registers, preventing potential crashes due to
uninitialized clocks.
Currently, in the probe path, registers are accessed before enabling the
clocks, leading to a synchronous external abort on the RZ/V2H SoC.
The problematic call flow is as follows:
usbhs_probe()
usbhs_sys_clock_ctrl()
usbhs_bset()
usbhs_write()
iowrite16() <-- Register access before enabling clocks
Since `iowrite16()` is performed without ensuring the required clocks are
enabled, this can lead to access errors. To fix this, enable PM runtime
early in the probe function and ensure clocks are acquired before register
access, preventing crashes like the following on RZ/V2H:

root cause is:
page_pool_recycle_in_ring
ptr_ring_produce
spin_lock(&r->producer_lock);
WRITE_ONCE(r->queue[r->producer++], ptr)
//recycle last page to pool
page_pool_release
page_pool_scrub
page_pool_empty_ring
ptr_ring_consume
page_pool_return_page //release all page
__page_pool_destroy
free_percpu(pool->recycle_stats);
free(pool) //free
spin_unlock(&r->producer_lock); //pool->ring uaf read
recycle_stat_inc(pool, ring);
page_pool can be free while page pool recycle the last page in ring.
Add producer-lock barrier to page_pool_release to prevent the page
pool from being free before all pages have been recycled.
recycle_stat_inc() is empty when CONFIG_PAGE_POOL_STATS is not
enabled, which will trigger Wempty-body build warning. Add definition
for pool stat macro to fix warning.
