In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: stk1160: fix bounds checking in stk1160_copy_video()
The subtract in this condition is reversed. The ->length is the length
of the buffer. The ->bytesused is how many bytes we have copied thus
far. When the condition is reversed that means the result of the
subtraction is always negative but since it's unsigned then the result
is a very high positive value. That means the overflow check is never
true.
Additionally, the ->bytesused doesn't actually work for this purpose
because we're not writing to "buf->mem + buf->bytesused". Instead, the
math to calculate the destination where we are writing is a bit
involved. You calculate the number of full lines already written,
multiply by two, skip a line if necessary so that we start on an odd
numbered line, and add the offset into the line.
To fix this buffer overflow, just take the actual destination where we
are writing, if the offset is already out of bounds print an error and
return. Otherwise, write up to buf->length bytes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: Set lower bound of start tick time
Currently ALSA timer doesn't have the lower limit of the start tick
time, and it allows a very small size, e.g. 1 tick with 1ns resolution
for hrtimer. Such a situation may lead to an unexpected RCU stall,
where the callback repeatedly queuing the expire update, as reported
by fuzzer.
This patch introduces a sanity check of the timer start tick time, so
that the system returns an error when a too small start size is set.
As of this patch, the lower limit is hard-coded to 100us, which is
small enough but can still work somehow.

Kees previously tried to avoid this by using memset_after(), but it seems
this does not fully address the problem. I noticed that the memset_after()
here is done on a different part of the union (status) than the original
cast was from (rate_driver_data), which may confuse the compiler.
Unfortunately, the memset_after() trick does not work on driver_rates[]
because that is part of an anonymous struct, and I could not get
struct_group() to do this either. Using two separate memset() calls
on the two members does address the warning though.

openrisc: traps: Don't send signals to kernel mode threads
OpenRISC exception handling sends signals to user processes on floating
point exceptions and trap instructions (for debugging) among others.
There is a bug where the trap handling logic may send signals to kernel

happens we treat it as an error.
This patch adds conditions to die if the kernel receives these
exceptions in kernel mode code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
m68k: Fix spinlock race in kernel thread creation
Context switching does take care to retain the correct lock owner across
the switch from 'prev' to 'next' tasks. This does rely on interrupts
remaining disabled for the entire duration of the switch.
This condition is guaranteed for normal process creation and context
switching between already running processes, because both 'prev' and
'next' already have interrupts disabled in their saved copies of the
status register.
The situation is different for newly created kernel threads. The status
register is set to PS_S in copy_thread(), which does leave the IPL at 0.
Upon restoring the 'next' thread's status register in switch_to() aka
resume(), interrupts then become enabled prematurely. resume() then
returns via ret_from_kernel_thread() and schedule_tail() where run queue
lock is released (see finish_task_switch() and finish_lock_switch()).
A timer interrupt calling scheduler_tick() before the lock is released
in finish_task_switch() will find the lock already taken, with the
current task as lock owner. This causes a spinlock recursion warning as
reported by Guenter Roeck.
As far as I can ascertain, this race has been opened in commit
533e6903bea0 ("m68k: split ret_from_fork(), simplify kernel_thread()")
but I haven't done a detailed study of kernel history so it may well
predate that commit.
Interrupts cannot be disabled in the saved status register copy for
kernel threads (init will complain about interrupts disabled when
finally starting user space). Disable interrupts temporarily when
switching the tasks' register sets in resume().
Note that a simple oriw 0x700,%sr after restoring sr is not enough here
- this leaves enough of a race for the 'spinlock recursion' warning to
still be observed.
Tested on ARAnyM and qemu (Quadra 800 emulation).

media: i2c: et8ek8: Don't strip remove function when driver is builtin
Using __exit for the remove function results in the remove callback
being discarded with CONFIG_VIDEO_ET8EK8=y. When such a device gets
unbound (e.g. using sysfs or hotplug), the driver is just removed
without the cleanup being performed. This results in resource leaks. Fix
it by compiling in the remove callback unconditionally.

drivers/virt/acrn: fix PFNMAP PTE checks in acrn_vm_ram_map()
Patch series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn follow_pte() fixes".
Patch #1 fixes a bunch of issues I spotted in the acrn driver. It
compiles, that's all I know. I'll appreciate some review and testing from
acrn folks.
Patch #2+#3 improve follow_pte(), passing a VMA instead of the MM, adding
more sanity checks, and improving the documentation. Gave it a quick test
on x86-64 using VM_PAT that ends up using follow_pte().
This patch (of 3):
We currently miss handling various cases, resulting in a dangerous
follow_pte() (previously follow_pfn()) usage.
(1) We're not checking PTE write permissions.
Maybe we should simply always require pte_write() like we do for
pin_user_pages_fast(FOLL_WRITE)? Hard to tell, so let's check for
ACRN_MEM_ACCESS_WRITE for now.
(2) We're not rejecting refcounted pages.
As we are not using MMU notifiers, messing with refcounted pages is
dangerous and can result in use-after-free. Let's make sure to reject them.
(3) We are only looking at the first PTE of a bigger range.
We only lookup a single PTE, but memmap->len may span a larger area.
Let's loop over all involved PTEs and make sure the PFN range is
actually contiguous. Reject everything else: it couldn't have worked
either way, and rather made use access PFNs we shouldn't be accessing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - validate slices count returned by FW
The function adf_send_admin_tl_start() enables the telemetry (TL)
feature on a QAT device by sending the ICP_QAT_FW_TL_START message to
the firmware. This triggers the FW to start writing TL data to a DMA
buffer in memory and returns an array containing the number of
accelerators of each type (slices) supported by this HW.
The pointer to this array is stored in the adf_tl_hw_data data
structure called slice_cnt.
The array slice_cnt is then used in the function tl_print_dev_data()
to report in debugfs only statistics about the supported accelerators.
An incorrect value of the elements in slice_cnt might lead to an out
of bounds memory read.
At the moment, there isn't an implementation of FW that returns a wrong
value, but for robustness validate the slice count array returned by FW.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: core: Fix NULL module pointer assignment at card init
The commit 81033c6b584b ("ALSA: core: Warn on empty module")
introduced a WARN_ON() for a NULL module pointer passed at snd_card
object creation, and it also wraps the code around it with '#ifdef
MODULE'. This works in most cases, but the devils are always in
details. "MODULE" is defined when the target code (i.e. the sound
core) is built as a module; but this doesn't mean that the caller is
also built-in or not. Namely, when only the sound core is built-in
(CONFIG_SND=y) while the driver is a module (CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m),
the passed module pointer is ignored even if it's non-NULL, and
card->module remains as NULL. This would result in the missing module
reference up/down at the device open/close, leading to a race with the
code execution after the module removal.
For addressing the bug, move the assignment of card->module again out
of ifdef. The WARN_ON() is still wrapped with ifdef because the
module can be really NULL when all sound drivers are built-in.
Note that we keep 'ifdef MODULE' for WARN_ON(), otherwise it would
lead to a false-positive NULL module check. Admittedly it won't catch
perfectly, i.e. no check is performed when CONFIG_SND=y. But, it's no
real problem as it's only for debugging, and the condition is pretty
rare.

ax25: Fix reference count leak issues of ax25_dev
The ax25_addr_ax25dev() and ax25_dev_device_down() exist a reference
count leak issue of the object "ax25_dev".
Memory leak issue in ax25_addr_ax25dev():
The reference count of the object "ax25_dev" can be increased multiple
times in ax25_addr_ax25dev(). This will cause a memory leak.
Memory leak issues in ax25_dev_device_down():
The reference count of ax25_dev is set to 1 in ax25_dev_device_up() and
then increase the reference count when ax25_dev is added to ax25_dev_list.
As a result, the reference count of ax25_dev is 2. But when the device is
shutting down. The ax25_dev_device_down() drops the reference count once
or twice depending on if we goto unlock_put or not, which will cause
memory leak.
As for the issue of ax25_addr_ax25dev(), it is impossible for one pointer
to be on a list twice. So add a break in ax25_addr_ax25dev(). As for the
issue of ax25_dev_device_down(), increase the reference count of ax25_dev
once in ax25_dev_device_up() and decrease the reference count of ax25_dev
after it is removed from the ax25_dev_list.

ring-buffer: Fix a race between readers and resize checks
The reader code in rb_get_reader_page() swaps a new reader page into the
ring buffer by doing cmpxchg on old->list.prev->next to point it to the
new page. Following that, if the operation is successful,
old->list.next->prev gets updated too. This means the underlying
doubly-linked list is temporarily inconsistent, page->prev->next or
page->next->prev might not be equal back to page for some page in the
ring buffer.
The resize operation in ring_buffer_resize() can be invoked in parallel.
It calls rb_check_pages() which can detect the described inconsistency
and stop further tracing:

Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab792705c
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.
The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():
ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer->reader_page);
if (!ret)
goto spin;
for (unsigned i = 0; i < 1U << 26; i++) /* inserted delay loop */
__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
rb_list_head(reader->list.next)->prev = &cpu_buffer->reader_page->list;

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: Fix deadlocks with kctl removals at disconnection
In snd_card_disconnect(), we set card->shutdown flag at the beginning,
call callbacks and do sync for card->power_ref_sleep waiters at the
end. The callback may delete a kctl element, and this can lead to a
deadlock when the device was in the suspended state. Namely:
* A process waits for the power up at snd_power_ref_and_wait() in
snd_ctl_info() or read/write() inside card->controls_rwsem.
* The system gets disconnected meanwhile, and the driver tries to
delete a kctl via snd_ctl_remove*(); it tries to take
card->controls_rwsem again, but this is already locked by the
above. Since the sleeper isn't woken up, this deadlocks.
An easy fix is to wake up sleepers before processing the driver
disconnect callbacks but right after setting the card->shutdown flag.
Then all sleepers will abort immediately, and the code flows again.
So, basically this patch moves the wait_event() call at the right
timing. While we're at it, just to be sure, call wait_event_all()
instead of wait_event(), although we don't use exclusive events on
this queue for now.

We can't sleep in netpoll, it has interrupts disabled completely.
Strangely, gem_poll_controller() doesn't even poll the completions,
and instead acts as if an interrupt has fired so it just schedules
NAPI and exits. None of this has been necessary for years, since
netpoll invokes NAPI directly.

net: micrel: Fix receiving the timestamp in the frame for lan8841
The blamed commit started to use the ptp workqueue to get the second
part of the timestamp. And when the port was set down, then this
workqueue is stopped. But if the config option NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING
is not enabled, then the ptp_clock is not initialized so then it would
crash when it would try to access the delayed work.
So then basically by setting up and then down the port, it would crash.
The fix consists in checking if the ptp_clock is initialized and only
then cancel the delayed work.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Init `ddp_comp` with devm_kcalloc()
In the case where `conn_routes` is true we allocate an extra slot in
the `ddp_comp` array but mtk_drm_crtc_create() never seemed to
initialize it in the test case I ran. For me, this caused a later
crash when we looped through the array in mtk_drm_crtc_mode_valid().
This showed up for me when I booted with `slub_debug=FZPUA` which
poisons the memory initially. Without `slub_debug` I couldn't
reproduce, presumably because the later code handles the value being
NULL and in most cases (not guaranteed in all cases) the memory the
allocator returned started out as 0.
It really doesn't hurt to initialize the array with devm_kcalloc()
since the array is small and the overhead of initting a handful of
elements to 0 is small. In general initting memory to zero is a safer
practice and usually it's suggested to only use the non-initting alloc
functions if you really need to.
Let's switch the function to use an allocation function that zeros the
memory. For me, this avoids the crash.

nilfs2: fix use-after-free of timer for log writer thread
Patch series "nilfs2: fix log writer related issues".
This bug fix series covers three nilfs2 log writer-related issues,
including a timer use-after-free issue and potential deadlock issue on
unmount, and a potential freeze issue in event synchronization found
during their analysis. Details are described in each commit log.
This patch (of 3):
A use-after-free issue has been reported regarding the timer sc_timer on
the nilfs_sc_info structure.
The problem is that even though it is used to wake up a sleeping log
writer thread, sc_timer is not shut down until the nilfs_sc_info structure
is about to be freed, and is used regardless of the thread's lifetime.
Fix this issue by limiting the use of sc_timer only while the log writer
thread is alive.

nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer()
Syzbot has reported a potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() called
during nilfs2 unmount.
Analysis revealed that this is because nilfs_segctor_sync(), which
synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after
nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace
below:
nilfs_detach_log_writer
nilfs_segctor_destroy
nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Shut down log writer thread
flush_work
nilfs_iput_work_func
nilfs_dispose_list
iput
nilfs_evict_inode
nilfs_transaction_commit
nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync)
nilfs_segctor_sync --> Attempt to synchronize with
log writer thread
*** DEADLOCK ***
Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log writer
thread returns normally without synchronizing after it terminates, and by
forcing tasks that are already waiting to complete once after the thread
terminates.
The skipped inode metadata flushout will then be processed together in the
subsequent cleanup work in nilfs_segctor_destroy().

The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the

might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about
time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case,
buffer overflow.
Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is
normally for signed integers. This is intentional for debugging purposes,
but it is not obvious from the code.
This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a
clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.

When a DLM lockspace is released and there ares still locks in that

fb6791d100d1b started exploiting this behavior to speed up filesystem
unmount: gfs2 would simply free glocks it didn't want to unlock and then
release the lockspace. This didn't take the bast callbacks for
asynchronous lock contention notifications into account, which remain
active until until a lock is unlocked or its lockspace is released.
To prevent those callbacks from accessing deallocated objects, put the
glocks that should not be unlocked on the sd_dead_glocks list, release
the lockspace, and only then free those glocks.
As an additional measure, ignore unexpected ast and bast callbacks if
the receiving glock is dead.
