Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: fs/ntfs3: Fixed overflow check in mi_enum_attr())(CVE-2024-27407).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put() syzbot
reported that nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put() was possibly sending garbage on
the four reserved tcp bits (th->res1) Use skb_put_zero() to clear the whole
TCP header, as done in nf_reject_ip_tcphdr_put() BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: smb: client: fix UAF in async decryption Doing an async
decryption (large read) crashes with a slab-use-after-free way down in the
crypto API.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: ovl: fix UAF in ovl_dentry_update_reval by moving dput() in
ovl_link_up The issue was caused by dput(upper) being called before
ovl_dentry_update_reval(), while upper->d_flags was still accessed in
ovl_dentry_remote().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: RDMA/erdma: Prevent use-after-free in erdma_accept_newconn()
After the erdma_cep_put(new_cep) being called, new_cep will be freed, and
the following dereference will cause a UAF problem.
