In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-fabrics: fix DHCHAP secret leak on parse failure nvmf_parse_options() duplicates dhchap_secret and dhchap_ctrl_secret with match_strdup() before validating the DHHC-1: representation. If validation fails, the parser returns -EINVAL before the temporary string in p is assigned to opts->dhchap_secret or opts->dhchap_ctrl_secret. nvmf_create_ctrl() subsequently frees opts, but nvmf_free_options() cannot release the unassigned temporary string. Each rejected option therefore leaks one allocation. This is easy to miss because valid secrets transfer ownership to opts and are freed normally, while the malformed-secret path still returns the expected -EINVAL to userspace. With CONFIG_NVME_HOST_AUTH enabled, the leak is reachable before the required-option checks and transport lookup. No NVMe-oF target or working transport connection is required; for example, repeatedly writing dhchap_secret=BAD or dhchap_ctrl_secret=BAD to /dev/nvme-fabrics deterministically takes the leaking parse path. Free the temporary string before leaving both validation error paths. Use kfree_sensitive() because the copied option may contain secret material even when its representation is rejected, matching the sensitive cleanup used for stored DHCHAP secrets.

However, brelse() is called by udf_rename(), too. So, b_count on buffer_head becomes     unbalanced. This patch fixes the issue by not calling brelse() by udf_rename() when udf_find_entry()     returns NULL. (CVE-2022-50755)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: qcom: qmi_encdec: Restrict string     length in decode The QMI TLV value for strings in a lot of qmi element info structures account for null     terminated strings with MAX_LEN + 1. If a string is actually MAX_LEN + 1 length, this will cause an out of     bounds access when the NULL character is appended in decoding. (CVE-2023-53729)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: isotp: check CAN address family     in isotp_bind() Add missing check to block non-AF_CAN binds. Syzbot created some code which matched the     right sockaddr struct size but used AF_XDP (0x2C) instead of AF_CAN (0x1D) in the address family field:
    bind$xdp(r2, &(0x7f0000000540)={0x2c, 0x0, r4, 0x0, r2}, 0x10) ^^^^ This has no funtional impact but the     userspace should be notified about the wrong address family field content. (CVE-2023-54105)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: rndis_host: Secure rndis_query     check against int overflow Variables off and len typed as uint32 in rndis_query function are controlled by     incoming RNDIS response message thus their value may be manipulated. Setting off to a unexpectetly large     value will cause the sum with len and 8 to overflow and pass the implemented validation step. Consequently     the response pointer will be referring to a location past the expected buffer boundaries allowing     information leakage e.g. via RNDIS_OID_802_3_PERMANENT_ADDRESS OID. (CVE-2023-54110)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: spi-nor: Fix shift-out-of-bounds     in spi_nor_set_erase_type spi_nor_set_erase_type() was used either to set or to mask out an erase type.
    When we used it to mask out an erase type a shift-out-of-bounds was hit: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in     drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c:2237:24 shift exponent 4294967295 is too large for 32-bit type 'int' The     setting of the size_{shift, mask} and of the opcode are unnecessary when the erase size is zero, as     throughout the code just the erase size is considered to determine whether an erase type is supported or     not. Setting the opcode to 0xFF was wrong too as nobody guarantees that 0xFF is an unused opcode. Thus     when masking out an erase type, just set the erase size to zero. This will fix the shift-out-of-bounds.
