In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: 3ad: implement proper RCU rules for port->aggregator
syzbot found a data-race in bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info /
bond_3ad_state_machine_handler [1] which hints at lack of proper
RCU implementation.
Add __rcu qualifier to port->aggregator, and add proper RCU API.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: rtl8150: fix use-after-free in rtl8150_start_xmit()
syzbot reported a KASAN slab-use-after-free read in rtl8150_start_xmit()
when accessing skb->len for tx statistics after usb_submit_urb() has
been called:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rtl8150_start_xmit+0x71f/0x760
drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c:712
Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810eb7a930 by task kworker/0:4/5226
The URB completion handler write_bulk_callback() frees the skb via
dev_kfree_skb_irq(dev->tx_skb). The URB may complete on another CPU
in softirq context before usb_submit_urb() returns in the submitter,
so by the time the submitter reads skb->len the skb has already been
queued to the per-CPU completion_queue and freed by net_tx_action():
CPU A (xmit) CPU B (USB completion softirq)
------------ ------------------------------
dev->tx_skb = skb;
usb_submit_urb() --+
|-------> write_bulk_callback()
| dev_kfree_skb_irq(dev->tx_skb)
| net_tx_action()
| napi_skb_cache_put() <-- free
netdev->stats.tx_bytes |
+= skb->len; <-- UAF read
Fix it by caching skb->len before submitting the URB and using the
cached value when updating the tx_bytes counter.
The pre-existing tx_bytes semantics are preserved: the counter tracks
the original frame length (skb->len), not the ETH_ZLEN/USB-alignment
padded "count" value that is handed to the device. Changing that
would be a user-visible accounting change and is out of scope for
this UAF fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in crush_decode()
A message of type CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP containing a crush map with at least
one bucket has two fields holding the bucket algorithm. If the values
in these two fields differ, an out-of-bounds access can occur. This is
the case because the first algorithm field (alg) is used to allocate
the correct amount of memory for a bucket of this type, while the second
algorithm field inside the bucket (b->alg) is used in the subsequent
processing.
This patch fixes the issue by adding a check that compares alg and
b->alg and aborts the processing in case they differ. Furthermore,
b->alg is set to 0 in this case, because the destruction of the crush
map also uses this field to determine the bucket type, which can again
result in an out-of-bounds access when trying to free the memory pointed
to by the fields of the bucket. To correctly free the memory allocated
for the bucket in such a case, the corresponding call to kfree is moved
from the algorithm-specific crush_destroy_bucket functions to the
generic crush_destroy_bucket().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/fcntl: fix SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling
A SOFTIRQ-safe to SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order deadlock can occur in
send_sigio() and send_sigurg() when a process group receives a signal.
When FASYNC is configured for a process group (PIDTYPE_PGID), both
functions use read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to traverse the task list.
However, they are frequently called from softirq context:
- send_sigio() via input_inject_event -> kill_fasync
- send_sigurg() via tcp_check_urg -> sk_send_sigurg (NET_RX_SOFTIRQ)
The deadlock is caused by the rwlock writer fairness mechanism:
1. CPU 0 (process context) holds read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in do_wait().
2. CPU 1 (process context) attempts write_lock(&tasklist_lock) in
fork() or exit() and spins, which blocks all new readers.
3. CPU 0 is interrupted by a softirq (e.g., TCP URG packet reception).
4. The softirq calls send_sigurg() and attempts to acquire
read_lock(&tasklist_lock), deadlocking because CPU 1 is waiting.
Since PID hashing and do_each_pid_task() traversals are already
RCU-protected, the read_lock on tasklist_lock is no longer strictly
required for safe traversal. Fix this by replacing tasklist_lock with
rcu_read_lock(), aligning the process group signaling path with the
single-PID path. This also mitigates a potential remote denial of
service vector via TCP URG packets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: dev: prevent integer overflow in I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl
While fuzzing with Syzkaller, a persistent `schedule_timeout: wrong
timeout value` warning was observed, accompanied by SMBus controller
state machine corruption.
The I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl accepts a user-provided timeout in multiples of
10 ms. The user argument is checked against INT_MAX, but it is
subsequently multiplied by 10 before being passed to msecs_to_jiffies().
A malicious user can pass a large value (e.g., 429496729) that passes
the `arg > INT_MAX` check but overflows when multiplied by 10. This
results in a truncated 32-bit unsigned value that bypasses the
internal `(int)m < 0` check in `msecs_to_jiffies()`.
The truncated value is then assigned to `client->adapter->timeout`
(a signed 32-bit int), which is reinterpreted as a negative number.
When passed to wait_for_completion_timeout(), this negative value
undergoes sign extension to a 64-bit unsigned long, triggering the
`schedule_timeout` warning and causing premature returns. This leaves
the SMBus state machine in an unrecoverable state, constituting a
local Denial of Service (DoS).
Fix this by bounding the user argument to `INT_MAX / 10`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rds: fix NULL deref in rds_ib_send_cqe_handler() on masked atomic completion
rds_ib_xmit_atomic() always programs a masked atomic opcode
(IB_WR_MASKED_ATOMIC_CMP_AND_SWP or IB_WR_MASKED_ATOMIC_FETCH_AND_ADD)
for every RDS atomic cmsg. But the completion-side switch in
rds_ib_send_unmap_op() only handles the non-masked opcodes, so a masked
atomic completion falls through to default and returns rm == NULL while
send->s_op is left set. rds_ib_send_cqe_handler() then dereferences the
NULL rm via rm->m_final_op, oopsing in softirq context. An unprivileged
AF_RDS sendmsg() of an atomic cmsg over an active RDS/IB connection
triggers it; on hardware that natively accepts masked atomics (mlx4,
mlx5) no extra setup is needed.
RDS/IB: rds_ib_send_unmap_op: unexpected opcode 0xd in WR!

Handle the masked atomic opcodes in the same case as the non-masked

the existing container_of()/rds_ib_send_unmap_atomic() body is correct
for them.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_log: validate MAC header was set before dumping it
The fallback path of dump_mac_header() guards the MAC header access
only with "skb->mac_header != skb->network_header", without checking
skb_mac_header_was_set(). When the MAC header is unset, mac_header is
0xffff, so the test passes and skb_mac_header(skb) returns
skb->head + 0xffff, ~64 KiB past the buffer; the loop then reads
dev->hard_header_len bytes out of bounds into the kernel log.
This is reachable via the netdev logger: nf_log_unknown_packet() calls
dump_mac_header() unconditionally, and an skb sent through AF_PACKET
with PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS reaches the egress hook with mac_header still
unset (__dev_queue_xmit(), which would reset it, is bypassed).
Add the skb_mac_header_was_set() check the ARPHRD_ETHER path already
uses, and replace the open-coded MAC header length test with
skb_mac_header_len(). Only skbs with an unset MAC header are affected;
valid ones are dumped as before.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipc/shm: serialize orphan cleanup with shm_nattch updates
shm_destroy_orphaned() walks the shm idr under shm_ids(ns).rwsem, but that
does not serialize all fields tested by shm_may_destroy(). In particular,
shm_nattch is updated while holding shm_perm.lock, and attach paths can do
that without holding the rwsem.
Do not decide that an orphaned segment is unused before taking the object
lock. Move the shm_may_destroy() check under shm_perm.lock, matching the
other destroy paths, and unlock the segment when it no longer qualifies
for removal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tvlv: reject oversized TVLV packets
batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append() builds a TVLV packet section from
the tvlv.container_list. The total size of this section is computed by
batadv_tvlv_container_list_size(), which sums the sizes of all registered
containers.
The return type and accumulator in batadv_tvlv_container_list_size() were
u16. If the accumulated size exceeds U16_MAX, the value wraps around,
causing the subsequent allocation in batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append()
to be undersized. The memcpy-style copy that follows would then write
beyond the end of the allocated buffer, corrupting kernel memory.
Fix this by widening the return type of batadv_tvlv_container_list_size()
to size_t. In batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append(), check the computed length
against U16_MAX before proceeding, and bail out as if the allocation had
failed when the limit is exceeded.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: dat: handle forward allocation error
batadv_dat_forward_data() calls pskb_copy_for_clone() to duplicate an skb
for each DHT candidate, but does not check the return value before passing
it to batadv_send_skb_prepare_unicast_4addr(). That function dereferences
the skb unconditionally, so a failed allocation triggers a NULL pointer
dereference.
Skip forwarding to the current DHT candidate on allocation failure.
