In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvme-tcp: fix NULL pointer dereferences in nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec

Commit efa56305908b ("nvmet-tcp: Fix a kernel panic when host sends an invalid H2C PDU length") added ttag bounds checking and data_offset validation in nvmet_tcp_handle_h2c_data_pdu(), but it did not validate whether the command's data structures (cmd->req.sg and cmd->iov) have been properly initialized before processing H2C_DATA PDUs.

The nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() function dereferences these pointers without NULL checks. This can be triggered by sending H2C_DATA PDU immediately after the ICREQ/ICRESP handshake, before sending a CONNECT command or NVMe write command.

Attack vectors that trigger NULL pointer dereferences: 1. H2C_DATA PDU sent before CONNECT → both pointers NULL 2. H2C_DATA PDU for READ command → cmd->req.sg allocated, cmd->iov NULL 3. H2C_DATA PDU for uninitialized command slot → both pointers NULL

The fix validates both cmd->req.sg and cmd->iov before calling nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec(). Both checks are required because: - Uninitialized commands: both NULL - READ commands: cmd->req.sg allocated, cmd->iov NULL - WRITE commands: both allocated

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself. Security Fix(es):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:kernel/resource: fix kfree() of bootmem memory againSince commit ebff7d8f270d ( mem hotunplug: fix kfree() of bootmemmemory ), we could get a resource allocated during boot viaalloc_resource(). And it s required to release the resource usingfree_resource(). Howerver, many people use kfree directly which willresult in kernel BUG. In order to fix this without fixing every callsite, just leak a couple of bytes in such corner case.(CVE-2022-49190)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:drivers: staging: rtl8723bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback()There is a deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback(),which is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | _set_timer()rtw_surveydone_event_callback()| mod_timer() spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time) ... | rtw_scan_timeout_handler() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_bh() //(2) (wait timer to stop) | ...We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and usedel_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handleralso need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.As a result, rtw_surveydone_event_callback() will block forever.This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection ofspin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obta…
