In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
agp/amd64: Fix broken error propagation in agp_amd64_probe()
A NULL pointer dereference was observed in the AMD64 AGP driver when
running in a virtualized environment (e.g. qemu/kvm) without a physical
AMD northbridge. The crash occurs in amd64_fetch_size() when attempting
to dereference the pointer returned by node_to_amd_nb(0).
The root cause of this crash is broken error propagation in
agp_amd64_probe(): When no AMD northbridges are found, cache_nbs()
correctly returns -ENODEV. However, the probe function erroneously
checks the return value against exactly -1, rather than < 0.
As a result, the hardware absence error is masked, allowing the driver
to improperly proceed with initialization. It eventually calls
agp_add_bridge(), which invokes amd64_fetch_size(). Since the hardware
does not exist, node_to_amd_nb(0) returns NULL, leading to a General
Protection Fault (GPF) when accessing its ->misc member.
Fix the issue by correcting the error check in agp_amd64_probe() to
abort properly when cache_nbs() returns any negative error code. This
prevents the driver from erroneously proceeding without hardware, thereby
avoiding the subsequent NULL pointer dereference at its source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7921: Place upper limit on station AID
Any station configured with an AID over 20 causes a firmware crash.
This situation occurred in our testing using an AP interface on 7922
hardware, with a modified hostapd, sourced from Mediatek's OpenWRT
feeds.
In stock hostapd, station AIDs begin counting at 1, and this
configuration is prevented with an upper limit on associated stations.
However, the modified hostapd began allocation at 65, which caused the
firmware to crash. This fix does not allow these AIDs to work, but will
prevent the firmware crash.
This crash was only seen on IFTYPE_AP interfaces, and the fix does not
appear to have an effect on IFTYPE_STATION behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Avoid NULL dereference in dc_dmub_srv error paths
In dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data() and
dc_dmub_srv_enable_dpia_trace().
Both functions check:
if (!dc_dmub_srv || !dc_dmub_srv->dmub)
and then call DC_LOG_ERROR() inside that block.
DC_LOG_ERROR() uses dc_dmub_srv->ctx internally. So if
dc_dmub_srv is NULL, the logging itself can dereference a
NULL pointer and cause a crash.
Fix this by splitting the checks.
First check if dc_dmub_srv is NULL and return immediately.
Then check dc_dmub_srv->dmub and log the error only when
dc_dmub_srv is valid.
Fixes the below:
../display/dc/dc_dmub_srv.c:962 dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data() error: we previously assumed 'dc_dmub_srv' could be null (see line 961)
../display/dc/dc_dmub_srv.c:1167 dc_dmub_srv_enable_dpia_trace() error: we previously assumed 'dc_dmub_srv' could be null (see line 1166)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
padata: Put CPU offline callback in ONLINE section to allow failure
syzbot reported the following warning:
DEAD callback error for CPU1
WARNING: kernel/cpu.c:1463 at _cpu_down+0x759/0x1020 kernel/cpu.c:1463, CPU#0: syz.0.1960/14614
at commit 4ae12d8bd9a8 ("Merge tag 'kbuild-fixes-7.0-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux")
which tglx traced to padata_cpu_dead() given it's the only
sub-CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU callback that returns an error.
Failure isn't allowed in hotplug states before CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU
so move the CPU offline callback to the ONLINE section where failure is
possible.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: protect extension_list reading with sb_lock in f2fs_sbi_show()
In f2fs_sbi_show(), the extension_list, extension_count and
hot_ext_count are read without holding sbi->sb_lock. If a concurrent
sysfs store modifies the extension list via f2fs_update_extension_list(),
the show path may read inconsistent count and array contents, potentially
leading to out-of-bounds access or displaying stale data.
Fix this by holding sb_lock around the entire extension list read
and format operation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phonet: do not BUG_ON() in pn_socket_autobind() on failed bind
syzbot reported a kernel BUG triggered from pn_socket_sendmsg() via
pn_socket_autobind():
kernel BUG at net/phonet/socket.c:213!
RIP: 0010:pn_socket_autobind net/phonet/socket.c:213 [inline]
RIP: 0010:pn_socket_sendmsg+0x240/0x250 net/phonet/socket.c:421
Call Trace:

__sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:812 [inline]
__sys_sendto+0x402/0x590 net/socket.c:2280
...
pn_socket_autobind() calls pn_socket_bind() with port 0 and, on
-EINVAL, assumes the socket was already bound and asserts that the
port is non-zero:
err = pn_socket_bind(sock, ..., sizeof(struct sockaddr_pn));
if (err != -EINVAL)
return err;
BUG_ON(!pn_port(pn_sk(sock->sk)->sobject));
return 0; /* socket was already bound */
However pn_socket_bind() also returns -EINVAL when sk->sk_state is not
TCP_CLOSE, even when the socket has never been bound and pn_port() is
still 0. In that case the BUG_ON() fires and panics the kernel from a
user-triggerable path.
Treat the "bind returned -EINVAL but pn_port() is still 0" case as a
regular error and propagate -EINVAL to the caller instead of crashing.
Existing callers already translate a non-zero return from
pn_socket_autobind() into -ENOBUFS/-EAGAIN, so returning -EINVAL here
only changes behaviour from panic to a normal errno.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_reset_all_vfs()
ice_reset_all_vfs() ignores the return value of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi().
When the VSI rebuild fails (e.g. during NVM firmware update via
nvmupdate64e), ice_vsi_rebuild() tears down the VSI on its error path,
leaving txq_map and rxq_map as NULL. The subsequent unconditional call
to ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() leads to a NULL pointer dereference in
ice_ena_vf_q_mappings() when it accesses vsi->txq_map[0].
The single-VF reset path in ice_reset_vf() already handles this
correctly by checking the return value of ice_vf_reconfig_vsi() and
skipping ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() on failure.
Apply the same pattern to ice_reset_all_vfs(): check the return value
of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi() and skip ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() and
ice_eswitch_attach_vf() on failure. The VF is left safely disabled
(ICE_VF_STATE_INIT not set, VFGEN_RSTAT not set to VFACTIVE) and can
be recovered via a VFLR triggered by a PCI reset of the VF
(sysfs reset or driver rebind).
Note that this patch does not prevent the VF VSI rebuild from failing
during NVM update — the underlying cause is firmware being in a
transitional state while the EMP reset is processed, which can cause
Admin Queue commands (ice_add_vsi, ice_cfg_vsi_lan) to fail. This
patch only prevents the subsequent NULL pointer dereference that
crashes the kernel when the rebuild does fail.

done
[CAUSE]
Inside btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction(), we first try to write all
dirty ebs, then wait for them to finish.
After that we call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to free all
extent states from dirty_pages io tree.
However if we hit an error from btrfs_write_marked_extent(), then we
still call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to clear that dirty_pages io
tree, which may contain dirty records that we haven't yet submitted.
Furthermore, the later transaction cleanup path will utilize that
dirty_pages io tree to properly cleanup those dirty ebs, but since it's
already empty, no dirty ebs are properly cleaned up, thus will later
trigger the warnings inside invalidate_btree_folios().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: synproxy: add mutex to guard hook reference counting
As the synproxy infrastructure register netfilter hooks on-demand when a
user adds the first iptables target or nftables expression, if done
concurrently they can race each other.
Introduce a mutex to serialize the refcount control blocks access from
both frontends. While a per namespace mutex might be more efficient, it
is not needed for target/expression like SYNPROXY.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: clear the svc scheduler ptr early on edit
ip_vs_edit_service() while unbinding the old scheduler clears
the svc->scheduler ptr after the scheduler module initiates
RCU callbacks. This can cause packets to use the old
scheduler at the time when svc->sched_data is already freed
after RCU grace period.
Fix it by clearing the ptr early in ip_vs_unbind_scheduler(),
before the done_service method schedules any RCU callbacks.
Also, if the new scheduler fails to initialize when replacing
the old scheduler, try to restore the old scheduler while still
returning the error code.
