| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: hantro: Check whether reset op is defined before use
The i.MX8MM/N/P does not define the .reset op since reset of the VPU is
done by genpd. Check whether the .reset op is defined before calling it
to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
Note that the Fixes tag is set to the commit which removed the reset op
from i.MX8M Hantro G2 implementation, this is because before this commit
all the implementations did define the .reset op. |

TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
causes the above issue.
This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.
syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: vidtv: psi: Add check for kstrdup
Add check for the return value of kstrdup() and return the error
if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: vidtv: mux: Add check and kfree for kstrdup
Add check for the return value of kstrdup() and return the error
if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
Moreover, use kfree() in the later error handling in order to avoid
memory leak. |

scsi: hisi_sas: Set debugfs_dir pointer to NULL after removing debugfs
If init debugfs failed during device registration due to memory allocation
failure, debugfs_remove_recursive() is called, after which debugfs_dir is
not set to NULL. debugfs_remove_recursive() will be called again during
device removal. As a result, illegal pointer is accessed.

i915/perf: Fix NULL deref bugs with drm_dbg() calls
When i915 perf interface is not available dereferencing it will lead to
NULL dereferences.
As returning -ENOTSUPP is pretty clear return when perf interface is not

net: wangxun: fix kernel panic due to null pointer
When the device uses a custom subsystem vendor ID, the function
wx_sw_init() returns before the memory of 'wx->mac_table' is allocated.
The null pointer will causes the kernel panic. |

net/mlx5e: Track xmit submission to PTP WQ after populating metadata map
Ensure the skb is available in metadata mapping to skbs before tracking the
metadata index for detecting undelivered CQEs. If the metadata index is put
in the tracking list before putting the skb in the map, the metadata index
might be used for detecting undelivered CQEs before the relevant skb is
available in the map, which can lead to a null-ptr-deref.

net: mvneta: fix calls to page_pool_get_stats
Calling page_pool_get_stats in the mvneta driver without checks
leads to kernel crashes.
First the page pool is only available if the bm is not used.
The page pool is also not allocated when the port is stopped.
It can also be not allocated in case of errors.
The current implementation leads to the following crash calling
ethstats on a port that is down or when calling it at the wrong moment:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface function
When vfs_getattr_nosec() calls a filesystem's getattr interface function
then the 'nosec' should propagate into this function so that
vfs_getattr_nosec() can again be called from the filesystem's gettattr
rather than vfs_getattr(). The latter would add unnecessary security
checks that the initial vfs_getattr_nosec() call wanted to avoid.
Therefore, introduce the getattr flag GETATTR_NOSEC and allow to pass
with the new getattr_flags parameter to the getattr interface function.
In overlayfs and ecryptfs use this flag to determine which one of the
two functions to call.
In a recent code change introduced to IMA vfs_getattr_nosec() ended up
calling vfs_getattr() in overlayfs, which in turn called
security_inode_getattr() on an exiting process that did not have
current->fs set anymore, which then caused a kernel NULL pointer
dereference. With this change the call to security_inode_getattr() can
be avoided, thus avoiding the NULL pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix a NULL pointer dereference in amdgpu_dm_i2c_xfer()
When ddc_service_construct() is called, it explicitly checks both the
link type and whether there is something on the link which will
dictate whether the pin is marked as hw_supported.
If the pin isn't set or the link is not set (such as from
unloading/reloading amdgpu in an IGT test) then fail the
amdgpu_dm_i2c_xfer() call. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: fix NULL deref on tls_sw_splice_eof() with empty record
syzkaller discovered that if tls_sw_splice_eof() is executed as part of
sendfile() when the plaintext/ciphertext sk_msg are empty, the send path
gets confused because the empty ciphertext buffer does not have enough
space for the encryption overhead. This causes tls_push_record() to go on
the `split = true` path (which is only supposed to be used when interacting
with an attached BPF program), and then get further confused and hit the
tls_merge_open_record() path, which then assumes that there must be at
least one populated buffer element, leading to a NULL deref.
It is possible to have empty plaintext/ciphertext buffers if we previously
bailed from tls_sw_sendmsg_locked() via the tls_trim_both_msgs() path.
tls_sw_push_pending_record() already handles this case correctly; let's do
the same check in tls_sw_splice_eof(). |

mfd: qcom-spmi-pmic: Fix revid implementation
The Qualcomm SPMI PMIC revid implementation is broken in multiple ways.
First, it assumes that just because the sibling base device has been
registered that means that it is also bound to a driver, which may not
be the case (e.g. due to probe deferral or asynchronous probe). This
could trigger a NULL-pointer dereference when attempting to access the
driver data of the unbound device.
Second, it accesses driver data of a sibling device directly and without
any locking, which means that the driver data may be freed while it is
being accessed (e.g. on driver unbind).
Third, it leaks a struct device reference to the sibling device which is
looked up using the spmi_device_from_of() every time a function (child)
device is calling the revid function (e.g. on probe).
Fix this mess by reimplementing the revid lookup so that it is done only
at probe of the PMIC device; the base device fetches the revid info from
the hardware, while any secondary SPMI device fetches the information
from the base device and caches it so that it can be accessed safely
from its children. If the base device has not been probed yet then probe
of a secondary device is deferred. |

RDMA/irdma: Fix potential NULL-ptr-dereference
in_dev_get() can return NULL which will cause a failure once idev is
dereferenced in in_dev_for_each_ifa_rtnl(). This patch adds a
check for NULL value in idev beforehand.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: mmc_spi: fix error handling in mmc_spi_probe()
If mmc_add_host() fails, it doesn't need to call mmc_remove_host(),
or it will cause null-ptr-deref, because of deleting a not added
device in mmc_remove_host().
To fix this, goto label 'fail_glue_init', if mmc_add_host() fails,
and change the label 'fail_add_host' to 'fail_gpiod_request'. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/powernv: Add a null pointer check in opal_powercap_init()
kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/tegra: dsi: Add missing check for of_find_device_by_node
Add check for the return value of of_find_device_by_node() and return
the error if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aio: fix mremap after fork null-deref
Commit e4a0d3e720e7 ("aio: Make it possible to remap aio ring") introduced
a null-deref if mremap is called on an old aio mapping after fork as
mm->ioctx_table will be set to NULL.

fs/ntfs3: Add NULL ptr dereference checking at the end of attr_allocate_frame()
It is preferable to exit through the out: label because
internal debugging functions are located there. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix an NULL dereference bug
The issue here is when this is called from ntfs_load_attr_list(). The
"size" comes from le32_to_cpu(attr->res.data_size) so it can't overflow
on a 64bit systems but on 32bit systems the "+ 1023" can overflow and
the result is zero. This means that the kmalloc will succeed by
returning the ZERO_SIZE_PTR and then the memcpy() will crash with an
Oops on the next line. |
