Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: uinput - reject requests with unreasonable number of slots When exercising uinput interface syzkaller may try setting up device
with a really large number of slots, which causes memory allocation
failure in input_mt_init_slots(). While this allocation failure is
handled properly and request is rejected, it results in syzkaller
reports. Additionally, such request may put undue burden on the
system which will try to free a lot of memory for a bogus request. Fix it by limiting allowed number of slots to 100. This can easily
be extended if we see devices that can track more than 100 contacts.

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain SMB messages, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
