In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Forward soft recovery errors to userspace
As we discussed before[1], soft recovery should be
forwarded to userspace, or we can get into a really
bad state where apps will keep submitting hanging
command buffers cascading us to a hard reset.

(cherry picked from commit 434967aadbbbe3ad9103cc29e9a327de20fdba01)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Shutdown timer and prevent rearming when driver unloading
When unload the btnxpuart driver, its associated timer will be deleted.
If the timer happens to be modified at this moment, it leads to the
kernel call this timer even after the driver unloaded, resulting in
kernel panic.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead of del_timer_sync() to prevent rearming.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not BUG_ON() when freeing tree block after error
When freeing a tree block, at btrfs_free_tree_block(), if we fail to
create a delayed reference we don't deal with the error and just do a
BUG_ON(). The error most likely to happen is -ENOMEM, and we have a
comment mentioning that only -ENOMEM can happen, but that is not true,
because in case qgroups are enabled any error returned from
btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post() (can be -EUCLEAN or anything returned
from btrfs_search_slot() for example) can be propagated back to
btrfs_free_tree_block().
So stop doing a BUG_ON() and return the error to the callers and make
them abort the transaction to prevent leaking space. Syzbot was
triggering this, likely due to memory allocation failure injection.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: fix memory leaks and crashes while performing a soft reset
The second tagged commit introduced a UAF, as it removed restoring
q_vector->vport pointers after reinitializating the structures.
This is due to that all queue allocation functions are performed here
with the new temporary vport structure and those functions rewrite
the backpointers to the vport. Then, this new struct is freed and
the pointers start leading to nowhere.
But generally speaking, the current logic is very fragile. It claims
to be more reliable when the system is low on memory, but in fact, it
consumes two times more memory as at the moment of running this
function, there are two vports allocated with their queues and vectors.
Moreover, it claims to prevent the driver from running into "bad state",
but in fact, any error during the rebuild leaves the old vport in the
partially allocated state.
Finally, if the interface is down when the function is called, it always
allocates a new queue set, but when the user decides to enable the
interface later on, vport_open() allocates them once again, IOW there's
a clear memory leak here.
Just don't allocate a new queue set when performing a reset, that solves
crashes and memory leaks. Readd the old queue number and reopen the
interface on rollback - that solves limbo states when the device is left
disabled and/or without HW queues enabled.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Fix pti_clone_pgtable() alignment assumption
Guenter reported dodgy crashes on an i386-nosmp build using GCC-11
that had the form of endless traps until entry stack exhaust and then
#DF from the stack guard.
It turned out that pti_clone_pgtable() had alignment assumptions on
the start address, notably it hard assumes start is PMD aligned. This
is true on x86_64, but very much not true on i386.
These assumptions can cause the end condition to malfunction, leading
to a 'short' clone. Guess what happens when the user mapping has a
short copy of the entry text?
Use the correct increment form for addr to avoid alignment
assumptions.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them
MTRRs have an obsolete fixed variant for fine grained caching control
of the 640K-1MB region that uses separate MSRs. This fixed variant has
a separate capability bit in the MTRR capability MSR.
So far all x86 CPUs which support MTRR have this separate bit set, so it
went unnoticed that mtrr_save_state() does not check the capability bit
before accessing the fixed MTRR MSRs.
Though on a CPU that does not support the fixed MTRR capability this
results in a #GP. The #GP itself is harmless because the RDMSR fault is
handled gracefully, but results in a WARN_ON().
Add the missing capability check to prevent this.
A vulnerability was found in 云课网络科技有限公司 Yunke Online School System up to 1.5.5. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /admin/educloud/videobind.html. The manipulation leads to inclusion of sensitive information in source code. The attack can be initiated remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.5.6 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
An issue was discovered in za-internet C-MOR Video Surveillance 5.2401 and 6.00PL01. Due to improper input validation, the C-MOR web interface is vulnerable to persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. It was found out that the camera configuration is vulnerable to a persistent cross-site scripting attack due to insufficient user input validation.
A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester Food Ordering Management System 1.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown part of the file /routers/ticket-status.php. The manipulation of the argument ticket_id leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
A vulnerability has been found in SourceCodester Insurance Management System 1.0 and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality. The manipulation leads to cross-site request forgery. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
