| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: davinci: da850-evm: Avoid NULL pointer dereference
With newer versions of GCC, there is a panic in da850_evm_config_emac()
when booting multi_v5_defconfig in QEMU under the palmetto-bmc machine:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000020
pgd = (ptrval)
[00000020] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.15.0 #1
Hardware name: Generic DT based system
PC is at da850_evm_config_emac+0x1c/0x120
LR is at do_one_initcall+0x50/0x1e0
The emac_pdata pointer in soc_info is NULL because davinci_soc_info only
gets populated on davinci machines but da850_evm_config_emac() is called
on all machines via device_initcall().
Move the rmii_en assignment below the machine check so that it is only
dereferenced when running on a supported SoC. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: fix adapter NULL pointer dereference on reboot
With SRIOV enabled, idpf ends up calling into idpf_remove() twice.
First via idpf_shutdown() and then again when idpf_remove() calls into
sriov_disable(), because the VF devices use the idpf driver, hence the
same remove routine. When that happens, it is possible for the adapter
to be NULL from the first call to idpf_remove(), leading to a NULL
pointer dereference.

Replace the direct idpf_remove() call in idpf_shutdown() with
idpf_vc_core_deinit() and idpf_deinit_dflt_mbx(), which perform
the bulk of the cleanup, such as stopping the init task, freeing IRQs,
destroying the vports and freeing the mailbox. This avoids the calls to
sriov_disable() in addition to a small netdev cleanup, and destroying
workqueues, which don't seem to be required on shutdown. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: qcom: uefisecapp: fix efivars registration race
Since the conversion to using the TZ allocator, the efivars service is
registered before the memory pool has been allocated, something which
can lead to a NULL-pointer dereference in case of a racing EFI variable
access.
Make sure that all resources have been set up before registering the
efivars. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: NULL-check BO's backing store when determining GFX12 PTE flags
PRT BOs may not have any backing store, so bo->tbo.resource will be
NULL. Check for that before dereferencing.
(cherry picked from commit 3e3fcd29b505cebed659311337ea03b7698767fc) |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix missing .is_two_pixels_per_container
Starting from 6.11, AMDGPU driver, while being loaded with amdgpu.dc=1,
due to lack of .is_two_pixels_per_container function in dce60_tg_funcs,
causes a NULL pointer dereference on PCs with old GPUs, such as R9 280X.
So this fix adds missing .is_two_pixels_per_container to dce60_tg_funcs.
(cherry picked from commit bd4b125eb949785c6f8a53b0494e32795421209d) |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: nuvoton: npcm8xx: Add NULL check in npcm8xx_gpio_fw
devm_kasprintf() calls can return null pointers on failure.
But the return values were not checked in npcm8xx_gpio_fw().
Add NULL check in npcm8xx_gpio_fw(), to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: cleanup mana struct after debugfs_remove()
When on a MANA VM hibernation is triggered, as part of hibernate_snapshot(),
mana_gd_suspend() and mana_gd_resume() are called. If during this
mana_gd_resume(), a failure occurs with HWC creation, mana_port_debugfs
pointer does not get reinitialized and ends up pointing to older,
cleaned-up dentry.
Further in the hibernation path, as part of power_down(), mana_gd_shutdown()
is triggered. This call, unaware of the failures in resume, tries to cleanup
the already cleaned up mana_port_debugfs value and hits the following bug:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: betop: check shape of output reports
betopff_init() only checks the total sum of the report counts for each
report field to be at least 4, but hid_betopff_play() expects 4 report
fields.
A device advertising an output report with one field and 4 report counts
would pass the check but crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference
in hid_betopff_play(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: dp83822: Fix null pointer access on DP83825/DP83826 devices
The probe() function is only used for the DP83822 PHY, leaving the
private data pointer uninitialized for the smaller DP83825/26 models.
While all uses of the private data structure are hidden in 82822 specific
callbacks, configuring the interrupt is shared across all models.
This causes a NULL pointer dereference on the smaller PHYs as it accesses
the private data unchecked. Verifying the pointer avoids that. |

efi: fix potential NULL deref in efi_mem_reserve_persistent
When iterating on a linked list, a result of memremap is dereferenced

This patch adds a check that falls back on allocating a new page in
case memremap doesn't succeed.

x86/resctrl: Fix allocation of cleanest CLOSID on platforms with no monitors
Commit
6eac36bb9eb0 ("x86/resctrl: Allocate the cleanest CLOSID by searching closid_num_dirty_rmid")
added logic that causes resctrl to search for the CLOSID with the fewest dirty
cache lines when creating a new control group, if requested by the arch code.
This depends on the values read from the llc_occupancy counters. The logic is
applicable to architectures where the CLOSID effectively forms part of the
monitoring identifier and so do not allow complete freedom to choose an unused
monitoring identifier for a given CLOSID.
This support missed that some platforms may not have these counters. This
causes a NULL pointer dereference when creating a new control group as the
array was not allocated by dom_data_init().
As this feature isn't necessary on platforms that don't have cache occupancy
monitors, add this to the check that occurs when a new control group is
allocated. |

Fix this by simply swapping the sequence of these two calls in
v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl(), i.e. calling v9fs_set_create_acl() before
v9fs_fid_add(). |

wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix kernel panic due to null pointer dereference
Address a kernel panic caused by a null pointer dereference in the
`mt792x_rx_get_wcid` function. The issue arises because the `deflink` structure
is not properly initialized with the `sta` context. This patch ensures that the
`deflink` structure is correctly linked to the `sta` context, preventing the
null pointer dereference.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/bwctrl: Fix NULL pointer dereference on bus number exhaustion
When BIOS neglects to assign bus numbers to PCI bridges, the kernel
attempts to correct that during PCI device enumeration. If it runs out
of bus numbers, no pci_bus is allocated and the "subordinate" pointer in
the bridge's pci_dev remains NULL.
The PCIe bandwidth controller erroneously does not check for a NULL
subordinate pointer and dereferences it on probe.
Bandwidth control of unusable devices below the bridge is of questionable
utility, so simply error out instead. This mirrors what PCIe hotplug does
since commit 62e4492c3063 ("PCI: Prevent NULL dereference during pciehp
probe").
The PCI core emits a message with KERN_INFO severity if it has run out of
bus numbers. PCIe hotplug emits an additional message with KERN_ERR
severity to inform the user that hotplug functionality is disabled at the
bridge. A similar message for bandwidth control does not seem merited,
given that its only purpose so far is to expose an up-to-date link speed
in sysfs and throttle the link speed on certain laptops with limited
Thermal Design Power. So error out silently.
