Security Vulnerabilities

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state
If an error (NULL) is returned by krealloc(), callers of realloc_array()
were setting their allocation pointers to NULL, but on error krealloc()
does not touch the original allocation. This would result in a memory
resource leak. Instead, free the old allocation on the error handling
path.
The memory leak information is as follows as also reported by Zhengchao:
unreferenced object 0xffff888019801800 (size 256):
comm "bpf_repo", pid 6490, jiffies 4294959200 (age 17.170s)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix BUG_ON() when directory entry has invalid rec_len
The rec_len field in the directory entry has to be a multiple of 4. A
corrupted filesystem image can be used to hit a BUG() in
ext4_rec_len_to_disk(), called from make_indexed_dir().

directory entry, returning -EFSCORRUPTED if the entry is invalid.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix the msg->req tlv len check in tipc_nl_compat_name_table_dump_header
This is a follow-up for commit 974cb0e3e7c9 ("tipc: fix uninit-value
in tipc_nl_compat_name_table_dump") where it should have type casted
sizeof(..) to int to work when TLV_GET_DATA_LEN() returns a negative
value.
syzbot reported a call trace because of it:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rx_register()
It causes NULL pointer dereference when testing as following:
(a) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x10ul, 3ul, 0) to create netlink socket.
(b) use syscall(__NR_sendmsg, ...) to create bond link device and vxcan
link device, and bind vxcan device to bond device (can also use
ifenslave command to bind vxcan device to bond device).
(c) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x1dul, 3ul, 1) to create CAN socket.
(d) use syscall(__NR_bind, ...) to bind the bond device to CAN socket.
The bond device invokes the can-raw protocol registration interface to
receive CAN packets. However, ml_priv is not allocated to the dev,
dev_rcv_lists is assigned to NULL in can_rx_register(). In this case,
it will occur the NULL pointer dereference issue.
The following is the stack information:

This patch ensures that the reserved field is always initialized.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: mhi: fix memory leak in mhi_mbim_dellink
MHI driver registers network device without setting the
needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when
unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak.
This patch sets needs_free_netdev to true when registers
network device, which makes netdev subsystem call free_netdev()
automatically after unregister_netdevice().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: iosm: fix memory leak in ipc_wwan_dellink
IOSM driver registers network device without setting the
needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when
unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak.
This patch sets needs_free_netdev to true when registers
network device, which makes netdev subsystem call free_netdev()
automatically after unregister_netdevice().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: ralink: mt7621-pci: add sentinel to quirks table
With mt7621 soc_dev_attr fixed to register the soc as a device,
kernel will experience an oops in soc_device_match_attr
This quirk test was introduced in the staging driver in
commit 9445ccb3714c ("staging: mt7621-pci-phy: add quirks for 'E2'
revision using 'soc_device_attribute'"). The staging driver was removed,
and later re-added in commit d87da32372a0 ("phy: ralink: Add PHY driver
for MT7621 PCIe PHY") for kernel 5.11
