A possible unauthorized memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel cpu_entry_area mapping of X86 CPU data to memory, where a user may guess the location of exception stack(s) or other important data. This issue could allow a local user to gain access to some important data with expected location in memory.

A vulnerability was found in the pstore/ram component of the Linux kernel, which caused crashes when the number of CPU cores was set to an odd number. This issue occurs because the odd-numbered zones became misaligned. This flaw allows a local, authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: Fix null dereference on suspend A race condition exists where a synchronous (noqueue) transfer can be active during a system suspend. This can cause a null pointer dereference exception to occur when the system resumes. Example order of events leading to the exception: 1. spi_sync() calls __spi_transfer_message_noqueue() which sets ctlr->cur_msg 2. Spi transfer begins via spi_transfer_one_message() 3. System is suspended interrupting the transfer context 4. System is resumed 6. spi_controller_resume() calls spi_start_queue() which resets cur_msg to NULL 7. Spi transfer context resumes and spi_finalize_current_message() is called which dereferences cur_msg (which is now NULL) Wait for synchronous transfers to complete before suspending by acquiring the bus mutex and setting/checking a suspend flag.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Two TCP spoofing primitives exist where an attacker can brute force the server-chosen send window by acknowledging data that was never sent, called "ghost ACKs." There are side channels that also allow the attacker to leak the otherwise secret server-chosen initial sequence number (ISN). One of these side channels leverages TCP SYN cookies.

A flaw was found in the nouveau module in the Linux kernel. In some conditions, a race condition can cause a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: l2cap: fix null-ptr-deref in l2cap_chan_timeout There is a race condition between l2cap_chan_timeout() and l2cap_chan_del(). When we use l2cap_chan_del() to delete the channel, the chan->conn will be set to null. But the conn could be dereferenced again in the mutex_lock() of l2cap_chan_timeout(). As a result the null pointer dereference bug will happen.

The array is intended to be a flexible length array, so the WARN is a false positive. To suppress the WARN, remove the constant number '1' from the array declaration and clarify that it has flexible length. Also, adjust the memory allocation size to match the change.
