In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Always stop health timer during driver removal
Currently, if teardown_hca fails to execute during driver removal, mlx5
does not stop the health timer. Afterwards, mlx5 continue with driver
teardown. This may lead to a UAF bug, which results in page fault
Oops[1], since the health timer invokes after resources were freed.
Hence, stop the health monitor even if teardown_hca fails.

Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel
contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2024-23848)
It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-40902)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- ARM64 architecture;
