In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix mr leak in RESPST_ERR_RNR
rxe_recheck_mr() will increase mr's ref_cnt, so we should call rxe_put(mr)
to drop mr's ref_cnt in RESPST_ERR_RNR to avoid below warning:

pointer. It should be init mutex_init() first before use the lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix WARNING in __ip_vs_cleanup_batch()
During the initialization of ip_vs_conn_net_init(), if file ip_vs_conn
or ip_vs_conn_sync fails to be created, the initialization is successful
by default. Therefore, the ip_vs_conn or ip_vs_conn_sync file doesn't
be found during the remove.
The following is the stack information:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: release flow rule object from commit path
No need to postpone this to the commit release path, since no packets
are walking over this object, this is accessed from control plane only.
This helped uncovered UAF triggered by races with the netlink notifier.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: netlink notifier might race to release objects
commit release path is invoked via call_rcu and it runs lockless to
release the objects after rcu grace period. The netlink notifier handler
might win race to remove objects that the transaction context is still
referencing from the commit release path.
Call rcu_barrier() to ensure pending rcu callbacks run to completion
if the list of transactions to be destroyed is not empty.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: Fix use after free in red_enqueue()
We can't use "skb" again after passing it to qdisc_enqueue(). This is
basically identical to commit 2f09707d0c97 ("sch_sfb: Also store skb
len before calling child enqueue").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix potential memory leak in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send()
nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send() will be called by nfcmrvl_nci_send(), and skb
should be freed in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send(). However, nfcmrvl_nci_send()
will only free skb when i2c_master_send() return >=0, which means skb
will memleak when i2c_master_send() failed. Free skb no matter whether
i2c_master_send() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nxp-nci: Fix potential memory leak in nxp_nci_send()
nxp_nci_send() will call nxp_nci_i2c_write(), and only free skb when
nxp_nci_i2c_write() failed. However, even if the nxp_nci_i2c_write()
run succeeds, the skb will not be freed in nxp_nci_i2c_write(). As the
result, the skb will memleak. nxp_nci_send() should also free the skb
when nxp_nci_i2c_write() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free caused by l2cap_reassemble_sdu
Fix the race condition between the following two flows that run in
parallel:
1. l2cap_reassemble_sdu -> chan->ops->recv (l2cap_sock_recv_cb) ->
__sock_queue_rcv_skb.
2. bt_sock_recvmsg -> skb_recv_datagram, skb_free_datagram.
An SKB can be queued by the first flow and immediately dequeued and
freed by the second flow, therefore the callers of l2cap_reassemble_sdu
can't use the SKB after that function returns. However, some places
continue accessing struct l2cap_ctrl that resides in the SKB's CB for a
short time after l2cap_reassemble_sdu returns, leading to a
use-after-free condition (the stack trace is below, line numbers for
kernel 5.19.8).
Fix it by keeping a local copy of struct l2cap_ctrl.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: enforce documented limit to prevent allocating huge memory
Daniel Xu reported that the hash:net,iface type of the ipset subsystem does
not limit adding the same network with different interfaces to a set, which
can lead to huge memory usage or allocation failure.
The quick reproducer is
$ ipset create ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT hash:net,iface hashsize 1048576 timeout 0
$ for i in $(seq 0 100); do /sbin/ipset add ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT 0.0.0.0/0,kaf_$i timeout 0 -exist; done
The backtrace when vmalloc fails:
[Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022] ipset: vmalloc error: size 1073741848, exceeds total pages
<...>

The fix is to enforce the limit documented in the ipset(8) manpage:
> The internal restriction of the hash:net,iface set type is that the same
> network prefix cannot be stored with more than 64 different interfaces
> in a single set.
