Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Fix command bitmask initialization Command bitmask have a dedicated bit for MANAGE_PAGES command, this bit
isn't Initialize during command bitmask Initialization, only during
MANAGE_PAGES. In addition, mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() is trying to trigger
completion for MANAGE_PAGES command as well. Hence, in case health error occurred before any MANAGE_PAGES command
have been invoke (for example, during mlx5_enable_hca()),
mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() will try to trigger completion for
MANAGE_PAGES command, which will result in null-ptr-deref error.[1] Fix it by Initialize command bitmask correctly. While at it, re-write the code for better understanding. [1]

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/mlx5: Arreglar la inicialización de la máscara de bits del comando La máscara de bits del comando tiene un bit dedicado para el comando MANAGE_PAGES, este bit no se inicializa durante la inicialización de la máscara de bits del comando, solo durante MANAGE_PAGES. Además, mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() también intenta activar la finalización del comando MANAGE_PAGES. Por lo tanto, en caso de que se produzca un error de estado antes de que se haya invocado cualquier comando MANAGE_PAGES (por ejemplo, durante mlx5_enable_hca()), mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() intentará activar la finalización del comando MANAGE_PAGES, lo que dará como resultado un error null-ptr-deref.[1] Arréglalo inicializando la máscara de bits del comando correctamente. Mientras lo haces, reescribe el código para una mejor comprensión.

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
