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

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests
In the test_no_shared_qgroup() and test_multiple_refs() qgroup self tests,
if we fail to add the tree ref, remove the extent item or remove the
extent ref, we are returning from the test function without freeing the
"old_roots" ulist that was allocated by the previous calls to
btrfs_find_all_roots(). Fix that by calling ulist_free() before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()
During backref walking, at find_parent_nodes(), if we are dealing with a
data extent and we get an error while resolving the indirect backrefs, at
resolve_indirect_refs(), or in the while loop that iterates over the refs
in the direct refs rbtree, we end up leaking the inode lists attached to
the direct refs we have in the direct refs rbtree that were not yet added
to the refs ulist passed as argument to find_parent_nodes(). Since they
were not yet added to the refs ulist and prelim_release() does not free
the lists, on error the caller can only free the lists attached to the
refs that were added to the refs ulist, all the remaining refs get their
inode lists never freed, therefore leaking their memory.
Fix this by having prelim_release() always free any attached inode list
to each ref found in the rbtree, and have find_parent_nodes() set the
ref's inode list to NULL once it transfers ownership of the inode list
to a ref added to the refs ulist passed to find_parent_nodes().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()
During backref walking, at resolve_indirect_refs(), if we get an error
we jump to the 'out' label and call ulist_free() on the 'parents' ulist,
which frees all the elements in the ulist - however that does not free
any inode lists that may be attached to elements, through the 'aux' field
of a ulist node, so we end up leaking lists if we have any attached to
the unodes.
Fix this by calling free_leaf_list() instead of ulist_free() when we exit
from resolve_indirect_refs(). The static function free_leaf_list() is
moved up for this to be possible and it's slightly simplified by removing
unnecessary code.

mISDN: fix possible memory leak in mISDN_register_device()
Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
add put_device() to give up the reference, so that the name can be
freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount is 0.
Set device class before put_device() to avoid null release() function
WARN message in device_release().

It triggers NULL pointer dereference when 'neigh->dev->dev_addr' is
called in the rose_send_frame(). It's the first occurrence of the
`neigh` is in rose_loopback_timer() as `rose_loopback_neigh', and
the 'dev' in 'rose_loopback_neigh' is initialized sa nullptr.
It had been fixed by commit 3b3fd068c56e3fbea30090859216a368398e39bf
("rose: Fix Null pointer dereference in rose_send_frame()") ever.
But it's introduced by commit 3c53cd65dece47dd1f9d3a809f32e59d1d87b2b8
("rose: check NULL rose_loopback_neigh->loopback") again.
We fix it by add NULL check in rose_transmit_clear_request(). When
the 'dev' in 'neigh' is NULL, we don't reply the request and just
clear it.
syzkaller don't provide repro, and I provide a syz repro like:
r0 = syz_init_net_socket$bt_sco(0x1f, 0x5, 0x2)
ioctl$sock_inet_SIOCSIFFLAGS(r0, 0x8914, &(0x7f0000000180)={'rose0\x00', 0x201})

ipvs: fix WARNING in ip_vs_app_net_cleanup()
During the initialization of ip_vs_app_net_init(), if file ip_vs_app
fails to be created, the initialization is successful by default.
Therefore, the ip_vs_app file doesn't be found during the remove in
ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(). It will cause WRNING.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: piix4: Fix adapter not be removed in piix4_remove()
In piix4_probe(), the piix4 adapter will be registered in:
piix4_probe()
piix4_add_adapters_sb800() / piix4_add_adapter()
i2c_add_adapter()
Based on the probed device type, piix4_add_adapters_sb800() or single
piix4_add_adapter() will be called.
For the former case, piix4_adapter_count is set as the number of adapters,
while for antoher case it is not set and kept default *zero*.
When piix4 is removed, piix4_remove() removes the adapters added in
piix4_probe(), basing on the piix4_adapter_count value.
Because the count is zero for the single adapter case, the adapter won't
be removed and makes the sources allocated for adapter leaked, such as
the i2c client and device.
These sources can still be accessed by i2c or bus and cause problems.
An easily reproduced case is that if a new adapter is registered, i2c
will get the leaked adapter and try to call smbus_algorithm, which was
already freed:
