In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Ensure sock->metric_tbl_addr is non-NULL
If metric table address is not allocated, accessing metrics_bin will
result in a NULL pointer dereference, so add a check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau/nvif: Fix potential memory leak in nvif_vmm_ctor().
When the nvif_vmm_type is invalid, we will return error directly
without freeing the args in nvif_vmm_ctor(), which leading a memory
leak. Fix it by setting the ret -EINVAL and goto done.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: rtl9300: Fix out-of-bounds bug in rtl9300_i2c_smbus_xfer
The data->block[0] variable comes from user. Without proper check,
the variable may be very large to cause an out-of-bounds bug.
Fix this bug by checking the value of data->block[0] first.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/cpu/hygon: Add missing resctrl_cpu_detect() in bsp_init helper
Since
923f3a2b48bd ("x86/resctrl: Query LLC monitoring properties once during boot")
resctrl_cpu_detect() has been moved from common CPU initialization code to
the vendor-specific BSP init helper, while Hygon didn't put that call in their
code.
This triggers a division by zero fault during early booting stage on our
machines with X86_FEATURE_CQM* supported, where get_rdt_mon_resources() tries
to calculate mon_l3_config with uninitialized boot_cpu_data.x86_cache_occ_scale.
Add the missing resctrl_cpu_detect() in the Hygon BSP init helper.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: fix handling of zero-length records on the rx_list
Each recvmsg() call must process either
- only contiguous DATA records (any number of them)
- one non-DATA record
If the next record has different type than what has already been
processed we break out of the main processing loop. If the record
has already been decrypted (which may be the case for TLS 1.3 where
we don't know type until decryption) we queue the pending record
to the rx_list. Next recvmsg() will pick it up from there.
Queuing the skb to rx_list after zero-copy decrypt is not possible,
since in that case we decrypted directly to the user space buffer,
and we don't have an skb to queue (darg.skb points to the ciphertext
skb for access to metadata like length).
Only data records are allowed zero-copy, and we break the processing
loop after each non-data record. So we should never zero-copy and
then find out that the record type has changed. The corner case
we missed is when the initial record comes from rx_list, and it's
zero length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Limit access to parser->buffer when trace_get_user failed
When the length of the string written to set_ftrace_filter exceeds
FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, the following KASAN alarm will be triggered:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in strsep+0x18c/0x1b0
Read of size 1 at addr ffff0000d00bd5ba by task ash/165

el0_svc+0xec/0xf0

el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0
The reason is that trace_get_user will fail when processing a string
longer than FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, but not set the end of parser->buffer to 0.
Then an OOB access will be triggered in ftrace_regex_release->
ftrace_process_regex->strsep->strpbrk. We can solve this problem by
limiting access to parser->buffer when trace_get_user failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix oops due to uninitialised variable
Fix smb3_init_transform_rq() to initialise buffer to NULL before calling
netfs_alloc_folioq_buffer() as netfs assumes it can append to the buffer it
is given. Setting it to NULL means it should start a fresh buffer, but the
value is currently undefined.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: fix race conditions in ppp_fill_forward_path
ppp_fill_forward_path() has two race conditions:
1. The ppp->channels list can change between list_empty() and
list_first_entry(), as ppp_lock() is not held. If the only channel
is deleted in ppp_disconnect_channel(), list_first_entry() may
access an empty head or a freed entry, and trigger a panic.
2. pch->chan can be NULL. When ppp_unregister_channel() is called,
pch->chan is set to NULL before pch is removed from ppp->channels.
Fix these by using a lockless RCU approach:
- Use list_first_or_null_rcu() to safely test and access the first list
entry.
- Convert list modifications on ppp->channels to their RCU variants and
add synchronize_net() after removal.
- Check for a NULL pch->chan before dereferencing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: ufs-qcom: Fix ESI null pointer dereference
ESI/MSI is a performance optimization feature that provides dedicated
interrupts per MCQ hardware queue. This is optional feature and UFS MCQ
should work with and without ESI feature.
Commit e46a28cea29a ("scsi: ufs: qcom: Remove the MSI descriptor abuse")
brings a regression in ESI (Enhanced System Interrupt) configuration that
causes a null pointer dereference when Platform MSI allocation fails.
The issue occurs in when platform_device_msi_init_and_alloc_irqs() in
ufs_qcom_config_esi() fails (returns -EINVAL) but the current code uses
__free() macro for automatic cleanup free MSI resources that were never
successfully allocated.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 0000000000000008
Call trace:
mutex_lock+0xc/0x54 (P)
platform_device_msi_free_irqs_all+0x1c/0x40
ufs_qcom_config_esi+0x1d0/0x220 [ufs_qcom]

ufshcd_init+0xa3c/0xf40
ufshcd_pltfrm_init+0x504/0x7d4
ufs_qcom_probe+0x20/0x58 [ufs_qcom]
Fix by restructuring the ESI configuration to try MSI allocation first,
before any other resource allocation and instead use explicit cleanup
instead of __free() macro to avoid cleanup of unallocated resources.
Tested on SM8750 platform with MCQ enabled, both with and without
Platform ESI support.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null pointer check in mod_hdcp_hdcp1_create_session()
The function mod_hdcp_hdcp1_create_session() calls the function
get_first_active_display(), but does not check its return value.
The return value is a null pointer if the display list is empty.
This will lead to a null pointer dereference.
Add a null pointer check for get_first_active_display() and return
MOD_HDCP_STATUS_DISPLAY_NOT_FOUND if the function return null.
This is similar to the commit c3e9826a2202
("drm/amd/display: Add null pointer check for get_first_active_display()").
(cherry picked from commit 5e43eb3cd731649c4f8b9134f857be62a416c893)
