Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pmdomain: mediatek: fix race conditions with genpd If the power domains are registered first with genpd and *after that*
the driver attempts to power them on in the probe sequence, then it is
possible that a race condition occurs if genpd tries to power them on
in the same time.
The same is valid for powering them off before unregistering them
from genpd.
Attempt to fix race conditions by first removing the domains from genpd
and *after that* powering down domains.
Also first power up the domains and *after that* register them
to genpd.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: pmdomain: mediatek: corrige las condiciones de ejecución con genpd, si los dominios de energía se registran primero con genpd y *después de eso* el controlador intenta encenderlos en la secuencia de sonda, entonces es Es posible que se produzca una condición de ejecución si genpd intenta encenderlos al mismo tiempo. Lo mismo es válido para apagarlos antes de cancelar su registro en genpd. Intente arreglar las condiciones de ejecución eliminando primero los dominios de genpd y *después* apagando los dominios. También primero encienda los dominios y *después* regístrelos en genpd.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
