Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rt2x00: restart beacon queue when hardware reset When a hardware reset is triggered, all registers are reset, so all
queues are forced to stop in hardware interface. However, mac80211
will not automatically stop the queue. If we don't manually stop the
beacon queue, the queue will be deadlocked and unable to start again.
This patch fixes the issue where Apple devices cannot connect to the
AP after calling ieee80211_restart_hw().

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: rt2x00: reinicia la cola de baliza cuando se reinicia el hardware Cuando se activa un reinicio de hardware, todos los registros se reinician, por lo que todas las colas se ven obligadas a detenerse en la interfaz de hardware. Sin embargo, mac80211 no detendrá automáticamente la cola. Si no detenemos manualmente la cola de balizas, la cola quedará bloqueada y no podrá comenzar de nuevo. Este parche soluciona el problema por el cual los dispositivos Apple no pueden conectarse al AP después de llamar a ieee80211_restart_hw().

Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate H2C PDU data, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
