In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: explicitly disallow disconnect
syzbot discovered that it can disconnect a TLS socket and then
run into all sort of unexpected corner cases. I have a vague
recollection of Eric pointing this out to us a long time ago.
Supporting disconnect is really hard, for one thing if offload
is enabled we'd need to wait for all packets to be _acked_.
Disconnect is not commonly used, disallow it.
The immediate problem syzbot run into is the warning in the strp,
but that's just the easiest bug to trigger:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix memory leak in tipc_link_xmit
In case the backlog transmit queue for system-importance messages is overloaded,
tipc_link_xmit() returns -ENOBUFS but the skb list is not purged. This leads to
memory leak and failure when a skb is allocated.
This commit fixes this issue by purging the skb list before tipc_link_xmit()
returns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: pata_pxa: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pxa_ata_probe()
devm_ioremap() returns NULL on error. Currently, pxa_ata_probe() does
not check for this case, which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL check after devm_ioremap() to prevent this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: hibernate: Avoid deadlock in hibernate_compressor_param_set()
syzbot reported a deadlock in lock_system_sleep() (see below).
The write operation to "/sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor"
conflicts with the registration of ieee80211 device, resulting in a deadlock
when attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex under param_lock.
To avoid this deadlock, change hibernate_compressor_param_set() to use
mutex_trylock() for attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex and
return -EBUSY when it fails.
Task flags need not be saved or adjusted before calling
mutex_trylock(&system_transition_mutex) because the caller is not going
to end up waiting for this mutex and if it runs concurrently with system
suspend in progress, it will be frozen properly when it returns to user
space.
syzbot report:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/mediatek: Fix NULL pointer deference in mtk_iommu_device_group
Currently, mtk_iommu calls during probe iommu_device_register before
the hw_list from driver data is initialized. Since iommu probing issue
fix, it leads to NULL pointer dereference in mtk_iommu_device_group when
hw_list is accessed with list_first_entry (not null safe).
So, change the call order to ensure iommu_device_register is called
after the driver data are initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data on ppp_sync_txmung
Ensure we have enough data in linear buffer from skb before accessing
initial bytes. This prevents potential out-of-bounds accesses
when processing short packets.
When ppp_sync_txmung receives an incoming package with an empty
payload:
(remote) gef⤠p *(struct pppoe_hdr *) (skb->head + skb->network_header)
$18 = {
type = 0x1,
ver = 0x1,
code = 0x0,
sid = 0x2,
length = 0x0,
tag = 0xffff8880371cdb96
}
from the skb struct (trimmed)
tail = 0x16,
end = 0x140,
head = 0xffff88803346f400 "4",
data = 0xffff88803346f416 ":\377",
truesize = 0x380,
len = 0x0,
data_len = 0x0,
mac_len = 0xe,
hdr_len = 0x0,
it is not safe to access data[2].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: vmd: Make vmd_dev::cfg_lock a raw_spinlock_t type
The access to the PCI config space via pci_ops::read and pci_ops::write is
a low-level hardware access. The functions can be accessed with disabled
interrupts even on PREEMPT_RT. The pci_lock is a raw_spinlock_t for this
purpose.
A spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT, so it cannot be
acquired with disabled interrupts. The vmd_dev::cfg_lock is accessed in
the same context as the pci_lock.
Make vmd_dev::cfg_lock a raw_spinlock_t type so it can be used with
interrupts disabled.
This was reported as:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
