'&tgt->list' not removed from list
If device_add() fails in snic_tgt_create(), tgt will be freed, but
tgt->list will not be removed from snic->disc.tgt_list, then list traversal
may cause UAF.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stream: purge sk_error_queue in sk_stream_kill_queues()
Changheon Lee reported TCP socket leaks, with a nice repro.
It seems we leak TCP sockets with the following sequence:
1) SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK is enabled on the socket.
Each ACK will cook an skb put in error queue, from __skb_tstamp_tx().
__skb_tstamp_tx() is using skb_clone(), unless
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY was also requested.
2) If the application is also using MSG_ZEROCOPY, then we put in the
error queue cloned skbs that had a struct ubuf_info attached to them.
Whenever an struct ubuf_info is allocated, sock_zerocopy_alloc()
does a sock_hold().
As long as the cloned skbs are still in sk_error_queue,
socket refcount is kept elevated.
3) Application closes the socket, while error queue is not empty.
Since tcp_close() no longer purges the socket error queue,
we might end up with a TCP socket with at least one skb in
error queue keeping the socket alive forever.
This bug can be (ab)used to consume all kernel memory
and freeze the host.
We need to purge the error queue, with proper synchronization
against concurrent writers.

The issue is that the per-device running_req read in
pm8001_dev_gone_notify() never goes to zero and we never make progress.
This is caused by missing accounting for running_req for when an internal
abort command completes.
In commit 2cbbf489778e ("scsi: pm8001: Use libsas internal abort support")
we started to send internal abort commands as a proper sas_task. In this
when we deliver a sas_task to HW the per-device running_req is incremented
in pm8001_queue_command(). However it is never decremented for internal
abort commnds, so decrement in pm8001_mpi_task_abort_resp().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: ensure sane device mtu in tunnels
Another syzbot report [1] with no reproducer hints
at a bug in ip6_gre tunnel (dev:ip6gretap0)
Since ipv6 mcast code makes sure to read dev->mtu once
and applies a sanity check on it (see commit b9b312a7a451
"ipv6: mcast: better catch silly mtu values"), a remaining
possibility is that a layer is able to set dev->mtu to
an underflowed value (high order bit set).
This could happen indeed in ip6gre_tnl_link_config_route(),
ip6_tnl_link_config() and ipip6_tunnel_bind_dev()
Make sure to sanitize mtu value in a local variable before
it is written once on dev->mtu, as lockless readers could
catch wrong temporary value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - fix DMA transfer direction
When CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is selected, while running the crypto self
test on the QAT crypto algorithms, the function add_dma_entry() reports
a warning similar to the one below, saying that overlapping mappings
are not supported. This occurs in tests where the input and the output
scatter list point to the same buffers (i.e. two different scatter lists
which point to the same chunks of memory).
The logic that implements the mapping uses the flag DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL
for both the input and the output scatter lists which leads to
overlapped write mappings. These are not supported by the DMA layer.
Fix by specifying the correct DMA transfer directions when mapping
buffers. For in-place operations where the input scatter list
matches the output scatter list, buffers are mapped once with
DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL, otherwise input buffers are mapped using the flag
DMA_TO_DEVICE and output buffers are mapped with DMA_FROM_DEVICE.
Overlapping a read mapping with a write mapping is a valid case in
dma-coherent devices like QAT.
The function that frees and unmaps the buffers, qat_alg_free_bufl()
has been changed accordingly to the changes to the mapping function.

This call stack is related to two problems. Firstly, the ocfs2 super uses
"replay_map" to trace online/offline slots, in order to recover offline
slots during recovery and mount. But when ocfs2_truncate_log_init()
returns an error in ocfs2_mount_volume(), the memory of "replay_map" will
not be freed in error handling path. Secondly, the memory of "replay_map"
will not be freed if d_make_root() returns an error in ocfs2_fill_super().
But the memory of "replay_map" will be freed normally when completing
recovery and mount in ocfs2_complete_mount_recovery().
Fix the first problem by adding error handling path to free "replay_map"
when ocfs2_truncate_log_init() fails. And fix the second problem by
calling ocfs2_free_replay_slots(osb) in the error handling path
"out_dismount". In addition, since ocfs2_free_replay_slots() is static,
it is necessary to remove its static attribute and declare it in header
file.

mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory
that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel
crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path.
So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call
mmc_free_host().

btrfs: set generation before calling btrfs_clean_tree_block in btrfs_init_new_buffer
syzbot is reporting uninit-value in btrfs_clean_tree_block() [1], for
commit bc877d285ca3dba2 ("btrfs: Deduplicate extent_buffer init code")
missed that btrfs_set_header_generation() in btrfs_init_new_buffer() must
not be moved to after clean_tree_block() because clean_tree_block() is
calling btrfs_header_generation() since commit 55c69072d6bd5be1 ("Btrfs:
Fix extent_buffer usage when nodesize != leafsize").
Since memzero_extent_buffer() will reset "struct btrfs_header" part, we
can't move btrfs_set_header_generation() to before memzero_extent_buffer().
Just re-add btrfs_set_header_generation() before btrfs_clean_tree_block().

crypto: marvell/octeontx - prevent integer overflows
The "code_length" value comes from the firmware file. If your firmware
is untrusted realistically there is probably very little you can do to
protect yourself. Still we try to limit the damage as much as possible.
Also Smatch marks any data read from the filesystem as untrusted and
prints warnings if it not capped correctly.
The "code_length * 2" can overflow. The round_up(ucode_size, 16) +
sizeof() expression can overflow too. Prevent these overflows.

worst case. In that scenario, the driver would corrupt memory beyond the

This is because the refcount is not correct in configfs_make_dirent().
For normal stage, the refcount is changing as:
configfs_register_subsystem()
configfs_create_dir()
configfs_make_dirent()
configfs_new_dirent() # set s_count = 1
dentry->d_fsdata = configfs_get(sd); # s_count = 2
...
configfs_unregister_subsystem()
configfs_remove_dir()
remove_dir()
configfs_remove_dirent() # s_count = 1
dput() ...
*dentry_unlink_inode()*
configfs_d_iput() # s_count = 0, release
However, if we failed in configfs_create():
configfs_register_subsystem()
configfs_create_dir()
configfs_make_dirent() # s_count = 2
...
configfs_create() # fail
->out_remove:
configfs_remove_dirent(dentry)
configfs_put(sd) # s_count = 1
return PTR_ERR(inode);
There is no inode in the error path, so the configfs_d_iput() is lost
and makes sd and fragment memory leaked.
To fix this, when we failed in configfs_create(), manually call
configfs_put(sd) to keep the refcount correct.

If in->len is much larger than HFS_NAMELEN(31) which is the maximum
length of an HFS filename, a OOB write could occur in hfs_asc2mac(). In
that case, when the dst reaches the boundary, the srclen is still
greater than 0, which causes a OOB write.
Fix this by adding a check on dstlen in while() before writing to dst
address.

syzkaller reported a KASAN use-after-free:

The referenced fuzzed image actually has two issues:
- m_pa == 0 as a non-inlined pcluster;
- The logical length is longer than its physical length.
The first issue has already been addressed. This patch addresses
the second issue by checking the extent length validity.

staging: media: tegra-video: fix device_node use after free
At probe time this code path is followed:
* tegra_csi_init
* tegra_csi_channels_alloc
* for_each_child_of_node(node, channel) -- iterates over channels
* automatically gets 'channel'
* tegra_csi_channel_alloc()
* saves into chan->of_node a pointer to the channel OF node
* automatically gets and puts 'channel'
* now the node saved in chan->of_node has refcount 0, can disappear
* tegra_csi_channels_init
* iterates over channels
* tegra_csi_channel_init -- uses chan->of_node
After that, chan->of_node keeps storing the node until the device is
removed.
of_node_get() the node and of_node_put() it during teardown to avoid any
risk.

erofs: Fix pcluster memleak when its block address is zero
syzkaller reported a memleak:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=62f37ff612f0021641eda5b17f056f1668aa9aed

syzkaller constructed a case: in z_erofs_register_pcluster(),
ztailpacking = false and map->m_pa = zero. This makes pcl->obj.index be
zero although pcl is not a inline pcluster.
Then following path adds refcount for grp, but the refcount won't be put
because pcl is inline.
z_erofs_readahead()
z_erofs_do_read_page() # for another page
z_erofs_collector_begin()
erofs_find_workgroup()
erofs_workgroup_get()
Since it's illegal for the block address of a non-inlined pcluster to
be zero, add check here to avoid registering the pcluster which would
be leaked.

wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: fix memory leak of urbs in ath9k_hif_usb_dealloc_tx_urbs()
Syzkaller reports a long-known leak of urbs in
ath9k_hif_usb_dealloc_tx_urbs().
The cause of the leak is that usb_get_urb() is called but usb_free_urb()
(or usb_put_urb()) is not called inside usb_kill_urb() as urb->dev or
urb->ep fields have not been initialized and usb_kill_urb() returns
immediately.
The patch removes trying to kill urbs located in hif_dev->tx.tx_buf
because hif_dev->tx.tx_buf is not supposed to contain urbs which are in
pending state (the pending urbs are stored in hif_dev->tx.tx_pending).
The tx.tx_lock is acquired so there should not be any changes in the list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-vdpa: fix an iotlb memory leak
Before commit 3d5698793897 ("vhost-vdpa: introduce asid based IOTLB")
we called vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap(v, iotlb, 0ULL, 0ULL - 1) during
release to free all the resources allocated when processing user IOTLB
messages through vhost_vdpa_process_iotlb_update().
That commit changed the handling of IOTLB a bit, and we accidentally
removed some code called during the release.
We partially fixed this with commit 037d4305569a ("vhost-vdpa: call
vhost_vdpa_cleanup during the release") but a potential memory leak is
still there as showed by kmemleak if the application does not send
VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE or crashes:

Let's fix this calling vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap() on the whole range in
vhost_vdpa_remove_as(). We move that call before vhost_dev_cleanup()
since we need a valid v->vdev.mm in vhost_vdpa_pa_unmap().
vhost_iotlb_reset() call can be removed, since vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap()
on the whole range removes all the entries.
The kmemleak log reported was observed with a vDPA device that has `use_va`
set to true (e.g. VDUSE). This patch has been tested with both types of
devices.

RDMA/siw: Fix immediate work request flush to completion queue
Correctly set send queue element opcode during immediate work request
flushing in post sendqueue operation, if the QP is in ERROR state.
An undefined ocode value results in out-of-bounds access to an array
for mapping the opcode between siw internal and RDMA core representation
in work completion generation. It resulted in a KASAN BUG report
of type 'global-out-of-bounds' during NFSoRDMA testing.
This patch further fixes a potential case of a malicious user which may
write undefined values for completion queue elements status or opcode,
if the CQ is memory mapped to user land. It avoids the same out-of-bounds
access to arrays for status and opcode mapping as described above.
