Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cdrom: rearrange last_media_change check to avoid unintentional overflow When running syzkaller with the newly reintroduced signed integer wrap
sanitizer we encounter this splat: [ 366.015950] UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in ../drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:2361:33

... Historically, the signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the
kernel due to its interaction with `-fwrapv` but this has since been
changed [1] in the newest version of Clang. It was re-enabled in the
kernel with Commit 557f8c582a9ba8ab ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow
sanitizer"). Let's rearrange the check to not perform any arithmetic, thus not
tripping the sanitizer.

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
