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:
nilfs2: reject zero bd_oblocknr in nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty()
nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() uses bd_oblocknr to detect dead blocks
by comparing it with the current block number bd_blocknr. If they differ,
the block is considered dead and skipped.
However, bd_oblocknr should never be 0 since block 0 typically stores the
primary superblock and is never a valid GC target block. A corrupted ioctl
request with bd_oblocknr set to 0 causes the comparison to incorrectly
match when the lookup returns -ENOENT and sets bd_blocknr to 0, bypassing
the dead block check and calling nilfs_bmap_mark() on a non-existent
block. This causes nilfs_btree_do_lookup() to return -ENOENT, triggering
the WARN_ON(ret == -ENOENT).
Fix this by rejecting ioctl requests with bd_oblocknr set to 0 at the
beginning of each iteration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2/dlm: fix off-by-one in dlm_match_regions() region comparison
The local-vs-remote region comparison loop uses '<=' instead of '<',
causing it to read one entry past the valid range of qr_regions. The
other loops in the same function correctly use '<'.
Fix the loop condition to use '<' for consistency and correctness.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: sg: Resolve soft lockup issue when opening /dev/sgX
The parameter def_reserved_size defines the default buffer size reserved
for each Sg_fd and should be restricted to a range between 0 and 1,048,576
(see https://tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO/proc.html). Although the
function sg_proc_write_dressz enforces this limit, it is possible to bypass
it by directly modifying the module parameter as shown below, which then
causes a soft lockup:
echo -1 > /sys/module/sg/parameters/def_reserved_size
exec 4<> /dev/sg0
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck for 26 seconds! [bash:537]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: hvc_iucv: fix off-by-one in number of supported devices
MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES == HVC_ALLOC_TTY_ADAPTERS == 8.
This is the number of entries in:
static struct hvc_iucv_private *hvc_iucv_table[MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES];
Sometimes hvc_iucv_table[] is limited by:
(a) if (num > hvc_iucv_devices) // for error detection
or
(b) for (i = 0; i < hvc_iucv_devices; i++) // in 2 places
(so these 2 don't agree; second one appears to be correct to me.)
hvc_iucv_devices can be 0..8. This is a counter.
(c) if (hvc_iucv_devices > MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES)
If hvc_iucv_devices == 8, (a) allows the code to access hvc_iucv_table[8].
Oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate embedded INIT chunk and address list lengths in cookie
sctp_unpack_cookie() only checked that the embedded INIT chunk length
did not exceed the remaining cookie payload, but did not ensure that the
INIT chunk is large enough to contain a complete INIT header.
A malformed COOKIE_ECHO can therefore carry a truncated INIT chunk whose
length field is smaller than sizeof(struct sctp_init_chunk). Later,
sctp_process_init() accesses INIT parameters unconditionally, which may
lead to out-of-bounds reads.
In addition, raw_addr_list_len is not fully validated against the
remaining cookie payload. When cookie authentication is disabled, an
attacker can supply an oversized raw_addr_list_len and cause
sctp_raw_to_bind_addrs() to read beyond the end of the cookie. The
address parser also lacks sufficient bounds checks for parameter headers
and lengths, allowing malformed address parameters to trigger
out-of-bounds reads.
Fix this by:
- requiring the embedded INIT chunk length to be at least sizeof(struct
sctp_init_chunk);
- validating that the INIT chunk and raw address list together fit
within the cookie payload;
- verifying sufficient data exists for each address parameter header and
payload before parsing it.
Note that sctp_verify_init() must be called after sctp_unpack_cookie()
and before sctp_process_init() when cookie authentication is disabled.
This will be addressed in a separate patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix uninit-value in __sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup()
__sctp_rcv_asconf_lookup() in net/sctp/input.c only checks that the ASCONF
chunk can hold the ADDIP header and a parameter header, then calls
af->from_addr_param(), which reads the full address (16 bytes for IPv6)
trusting the parameter's declared length.
An unauthenticated peer can send a truncated trailing ASCONF chunk that
declares an IPv6 address parameter but stops after the 4-byte parameter
header; reached from the no-association lookup path, from_addr_param() then
reads uninitialized bytes past the parameter.
Impact: an unauthenticated SCTP peer makes the receive path read up to 16
bytes of uninitialized memory past a truncated ASCONF address parameter.
The sibling __sctp_rcv_init_lookup() bounds parameters with
sctp_walk_params(); this path open-codes the fetch and omits the bound.
Verify the whole address parameter lies within the chunk before
from_addr_param() reads it, the same class of fix as commit 51e5ad549c43
("net: sctp: fix KMSAN uninit-value in sctp_inq_pop").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: revalidate bridge ports
ebt_redirect_tg() dereferences br_port_get_rcu() return without a
NULL check, causing a kernel panic when the bridge port has been
removed between the original hook invocation and an NFQUEUE
reinject.
A mere NULL check isn't sufficient, however. As sashiko review
points out userspace can not only remove the port from the bridge,
it could also place the device in a different virtual device, e.g.
macvlan.
If this happens, we must drop the packet, there is no way for us to
reinject it into the bridge path.
Switch to _upper API, we don't need the bridge port structure.
Also, this fix keeps another bug intact:
Both nfnetlink_log and nfnetlink_queue use CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER
too aggressive, which prevents certain logging features when queueing
in bridge family: NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE can be enabled while the old
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER cruft is off.
Fixes tag is a common ancestor, this was always broken.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: reject BR/EDR signaling packets over MTUsig
net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:l2cap_sig_channel() accepts BR/EDR
signaling packets up to the channel MTU and dispatches each command
without enforcing the signaling MTU (MTUsig). A Bluetooth BR/EDR peer
within radio range can send a fixed-channel CID 0x0001 packet that is
larger than MTUsig and contains many L2CAP_ECHO_REQ commands before
pairing. In a real-radio stock-kernel run, one 681-byte signaling
packet containing 168 zero-length ECHO_REQ commands made the target
transmit 168 ECHO_RSP frames over about 220 ms.
Impact: a Bluetooth BR/EDR peer within radio range, before pairing, can
force 168 ECHO_RSP frames from one 681-byte fixed-channel signaling
packet containing packed ECHO_REQ commands.
Define Linux's BR/EDR signaling MTU as the spec minimum of 48 bytes and
reject any larger signaling packet with one L2CAP_COMMAND_REJECT_RSP
carrying L2CAP_REJ_MTU_EXCEEDED before any command is dispatched.
The Bluetooth Core spec wording for MTUExceeded says the reject
identifier shall match the first request command in the packet, and
that packets containing only responses shall be silently discarded.
Linux intentionally deviates from that prescription: silently
discarding desynchronizes the peer because the remote stack never
learns its responses were dropped, and locating the first request
command requires walking command headers past MTUsig, i.e. processing
bytes from a packet we have already decided is too large to process.
We therefore always emit one reject and use the identifier from the
first command header, a single fixed-offset byte read.
The unrestricted BR/EDR signaling parser and ECHO_REQ response path both
trace to the initial git import; no later introducing commit is
available for a Fixes tag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in get_manuf_info()
get_manuf_info() reads le16_to_cpu(rom_desc->Size) bytes from the
device I2C EEPROM into a buffer allocated with kmalloc_obj(), which
is sizeof(struct edge_ti_manuf_descriptor) = 10 bytes.
The Size field comes from the device and is only validated (in
check_i2c_image()) to make sure the descriptor fits within
TI_MAX_I2C_SIZE (16384 bytes), not against the destination buffer size.
A malicious USB device can therefore set Size to any value up to 16377,
causing a heap overflow of up to 16367 bytes when plugged into a host
running this driver.
valid_csum() is called after read_rom() and also iterates
buffer[0..Size-1], compounding the out-of-bounds access.
Fix by rejecting descriptors with unexpected length before calling
read_rom().
[ johan: amend commit message; also check for short descriptors ]
