In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: smsc95xx: Limit packet length to skb->len
Packet length retrieved from descriptor may be larger than
the actual socket buffer length. In such case the cloned
skb passed up the network stack will leak kernel memory contents.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: fix hang on reboot with ice
When a system with E810 with existing VFs gets rebooted the following
hang may be observed.
Pid 1 is hung in iavf_remove(), part of a network driver:

During reboot all drivers PM shutdown callbacks are invoked.
In iavf_shutdown() the adapter state is changed to __IAVF_REMOVE.
In ice_shutdown() the call chain above is executed, which at some point
calls iavf_remove(). However iavf_remove() expects the VF to be in one
of the states __IAVF_RUNNING, __IAVF_DOWN or __IAVF_INIT_FAILED. If
that's not the case it sleeps forever.
So if iavf_shutdown() gets invoked before iavf_remove() the system will
hang indefinitely because the adapter is already in state __IAVF_REMOVE.
Fix this by returning from iavf_remove() if the state is __IAVF_REMOVE,
as we already went through iavf_shutdown().

commit 267fb27352b6 ("perf: Reduce stack usage of perf_output_begin()")
use on-stack struct perf_sample_data of the caller function.
However, perf_event_bpf_output uses incorrect parameter to convert
small-sized data (struct perf_bpf_event) into large-sized data
(struct perf_sample_data), which causes memory overwriting occurs in
__perf_event_header__init_id.

In order to avoid the above issue, we should break the call chains,
using timer_irq_installed variable as check condition to only call
get_timer_irq() once in constant_clockevent_init() is a simple and
proper way.
