| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: zoned: skip splitting and logical rewriting on pre-alloc write
When doing a relocation, there is a chance that at the time of
btrfs_reloc_clone_csums(), there is no checksum for the corresponding
region.
In this case, btrfs_finish_ordered_zoned()'s sum points to an invalid item
and so ordered_extent's logical is set to some invalid value. Then,
btrfs_lookup_block_group() in btrfs_zone_finish_endio() failed to find a
block group and will hit an assert or a null pointer dereference as
following.
This can be reprodcued by running btrfs/028 several times (e.g, 4 to 16
times) with a null_blk setup. The device's zone size and capacity is set to
32 MB and the storage size is set to 5 GB on my setup.

On the zoned mode, writing to pre-allocated region means data relocation
write. Such write always uses WRITE command so there is no need of splitting
and rewriting logical address. Thus, we can just skip the function for the
case. |

ASoC: mediatek: common: Fix refcount leak in parse_dai_link_info
Add missing of_node_put()s before the returns to balance
of_node_get()s and of_node_put()s, which may get unbalanced
in case the for loop 'for_each_available_child_of_node' returns
early. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: rcar_fdp1: Fix refcount leak in probe and remove function
rcar_fcp_get() take reference, which should be balanced with
rcar_fcp_put(). Add missing rcar_fcp_put() in fdp1_remove and
the error paths of fdp1_probe() to fix this.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix race between wbt_enable_default and IO submission
When wbt_enable_default() is moved out of queue freezing in elevator_change(),
it can cause the wbt inflight counter to become negative (-1), leading to hung
tasks in the writeback path. Tasks get stuck in wbt_wait() because the counter
is in an inconsistent state.
The issue occurs because wbt_enable_default() could race with IO submission,
allowing the counter to be decremented before proper initialization. This manifests
as:
rq_wait[0]:
inflight: -1
has_waiters: True
rwb_enabled() checks the state, which can be updated exactly between wbt_wait()
(rq_qos_throttle()) and wbt_track()(rq_qos_track()), then the inflight counter
will become negative.
And results in hung task warnings like:
task:kworker/u24:39 state:D stack:0 pid:14767
Call Trace:
rq_qos_wait+0xb4/0x150
wbt_wait+0xa9/0x100
__rq_qos_throttle+0x24/0x40
blk_mq_submit_bio+0x672/0x7b0
...
Fix this by:
1. Splitting wbt_enable_default() into:
- __wbt_enable_default(): Returns true if wbt_init() should be called
- wbt_enable_default(): Wrapper for existing callers (no init)
- wbt_init_enable_default(): New function that checks and inits WBT
2. Using wbt_init_enable_default() in blk_register_queue() to ensure
proper initialization during queue registration
3. Move wbt_init() out of wbt_enable_default() which is only for enabling
disabled wbt from bfq and iocost, and wbt_init() isn't needed. Then the
original lock warning can be avoided.
4. Removing the ELEVATOR_FLAG_ENABLE_WBT_ON_EXIT flag and its handling
code since it's no longer needed
This ensures WBT is properly initialized before any IO can be submitted,
preventing the counter from going negative. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix filename leak in __io_openat_prep()
__io_openat_prep() allocates a struct filename using getname(). However,
for the condition of the file being installed in the fixed file table as
well as having O_CLOEXEC flag set, the function returns early. At that
point, the request doesn't have REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP flag set. Due to this,
the memory for the newly allocated struct filename is not cleaned up,
causing a memory leak.
Fix this by setting the REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP for the request just after the
successful getname() call, so that when the request is torn down, the
filename will be cleaned up, along with other resources needing cleanup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: rndis_host: Secure rndis_query check against int overflow
Variables off and len typed as uint32 in rndis_query function
are controlled by incoming RNDIS response message thus their
value may be manipulated. Setting off to a unexpectetly large
value will cause the sum with len and 8 to overflow and pass
the implemented validation step. Consequently the response
pointer will be referring to a location past the expected
buffer boundaries allowing information leakage e.g. via
RNDIS_OID_802_3_PERMANENT_ADDRESS OID. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: dump vmalloc memory info safely
Currently, for double invoke call_rcu(), will dump rcu_head objects memory
info, if the objects is not allocated from the slab allocator, the
vmalloc_dump_obj() will be invoke and the vmap_area_lock spinlock need to
be held, since the call_rcu() can be invoked in interrupt context,
therefore, there is a possibility of spinlock deadlock scenarios.
And in Preempt-RT kernel, the rcutorture test also trigger the following

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inotify: Avoid reporting event with invalid wd
When inotify_freeing_mark() races with inotify_handle_inode_event() it
can happen that inotify_handle_inode_event() sees that i_mark->wd got
already reset to -1 and reports this value to userspace which can
confuse the inotify listener. Avoid the problem by validating that wd is
sensible (and pretend the mark got removed before the event got
generated otherwise). |

drm/msm/dpu: Add check for cstate
As kzalloc may fail and return NULL pointer,

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/rockchip: dw_hdmi: cleanup drm encoder during unbind
This fixes a use-after-free crash during rmmod.
The DRM encoder is embedded inside the larger rockchip_hdmi,
which is allocated with the component. The component memory
gets freed before the main drm device is destroyed. Fix it
by running encoder cleanup before tearing down its container.
[moved encoder cleanup above clk_disable, similar to bind-error-path] |

um: vector: Fix memory leak in vector_config
If the return value of the uml_parse_vector_ifspec function is NULL,
we should call kfree(params) to prevent memory leak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfp: clean mc addresses in application firmware when closing port
When moving devices from one namespace to another, mc addresses are
cleaned in software while not removed from application firmware. Thus
the mc addresses are remained and will cause resource leak.
Now use `__dev_mc_unsync` to clean mc addresses when closing port. |

autofs_wait_queue structs should be freed if their wait_ctr becomes zero.
Otherwise they will be lost.
In this case an AUTOFS_IOC_EXPIRE_MULTI ioctl is done, then a new
waitqueue struct is allocated in autofs_wait(), its initial wait_ctr
equals 2. After that wait_event_killable() is interrupted (it returns
-ERESTARTSYS), so that 'wq->name.name == NULL' condition may be not
satisfied. Actually, this condition can be satisfied when
autofs_wait_release() or autofs_catatonic_mode() is called and, what is
also important, wait_ctr is decremented in those places. Upon the exit of
autofs_wait(), wait_ctr is decremented to 1. Then the unmounting process
begins: kill_sb calls autofs_catatonic_mode(), which should have freed the
waitqueues, but it only decrements its usage counter to zero which is not
a correct behaviour.
edit:imk
This description is of course not correct. The umount performed as a result
of an expire is a umount of a mount that has been automounted, it's not the
autofs mount itself. They happen independently, usually after everything
mounted within the autofs file system has been expired away. If everything
hasn't been expired away the automount daemon can still exit leaving mounts
in place. But expires done in both cases will result in a notification that
calls autofs_wait_release() with a result status. The problem case is the
summary execution of of the automount daemon. In this case any waiting
processes won't be woken up until either they are terminated or the mount
is umounted.
end edit: imk
So in catatonic mode we should free waitqueues which counter becomes zero.
edit: imk
Initially I was concerned that the calling of autofs_wait_release() and
autofs_catatonic_mode() was not mutually exclusive but that can't be the
case (obviously) because the queue entry (or entries) is removed from the
list when either of these two functions are called. Consequently the wait
entry will be freed by only one of these functions or by the woken process
in autofs_wait() depending on the order of the calls.
