af_unix: Fix data races around sk->sk_shutdown.
KCSAN found a data race around sk->sk_shutdown where unix_release_sock()
and unix_shutdown() update it under unix_state_lock(), OTOH unix_poll()
and unix_dgram_poll() read it locklessly.
We need to annotate the writes and reads with WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE().

serial: 8250: Fix oops for port->pm on uart_change_pm()
Unloading a hardware specific 8250 driver can produce error "Unable to
handle kernel paging request at virtual address" about ten seconds after
unloading the driver. This happens on uart_hangup() calling
uart_change_pm().
Turns out commit 04e82793f068 ("serial: 8250: Reinit port->pm on port
specific driver unbind") was only a partial fix. If the hardware specific
driver has initialized port->pm function, we need to clear port->pm too.
Just reinitializing port->ops does not do this. Otherwise serial8250_pm()
will call port->pm() instead of serial8250_do_pm(). |

rule_locs is allocated in ethtool_get_rxnfc and the size is determined by
rule_cnt from user space. So rule_cnt needs to be check before using
rule_locs to avoid NULL pointer dereference. |

smbd_destroy(). |

net/mlx5e: Don't clone flow post action attributes second time
The code already clones post action attributes in
mlx5e_clone_flow_attr_for_post_act(). Creating another copy in
mlx5e_tc_post_act_add() is a erroneous leftover from original
implementation. Instead, assign handle->attribute to post_attr provided by
the caller. Note that cloning the attribute second time is not just
wasteful but also causes issues like second copy not being properly updated
in neigh update code which leads to following use-after-free:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: Rework lppaca_shared_proc() to avoid DEBUG_PREEMPT
lppaca_shared_proc() takes a pointer to the lppaca which is typically
accessed through get_lppaca(). With DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, this leads
to checking if preemption is enabled, for example:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: grep/10693
caller is lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
CPU: 4 PID: 10693 Comm: grep Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3 #2
Call Trace:
dump_stack_lvl+0x154/0x200 (unreliable)
check_preemption_disabled+0x214/0x220
lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
...
This isn't actually a problem however, as it does not matter which
lppaca is accessed, the shared proc state will be the same.
vcpudispatch_stats_procfs_init() already works around this by disabling
preemption, but the lparcfg code does not, erroring any time
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is accessed with DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled.
Instead of disabling preemption on the caller side, rework
lppaca_shared_proc() to not take a pointer and instead directly access
the lppaca, bypassing any potential preemption checks.
[mpe: Rework to avoid needing a definition in paca.h and lppaca.h] |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: double free xprt_ctxt while still in use
When an RPC request is deferred, the rq_xprt_ctxt pointer is moved out
of the svc_rqst into the svc_deferred_req.
When the deferred request is revisited, the pointer is copied into
the new svc_rqst - and also remains in the svc_deferred_req.
In the (rare?) case that the request is deferred a second time, the old
svc_deferred_req is reused - it still has all the correct content.
However in that case the rq_xprt_ctxt pointer is NOT cleared so that
when xpo_release_xprt is called, the ctxt is freed (UDP) or possible
added to a free list (RDMA).
When the deferred request is revisited for a second time, it will
reference this ctxt which may be invalid, and the free the object a
second time which is likely to oops.
So change svc_defer() to *always* clear rq_xprt_ctxt, and assert that
the value is now stored in the svc_deferred_req. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: bus: verify partner exists in typec_altmode_attention
Some usb hubs will negotiate DisplayPort Alt mode with the device
but will then negotiate a data role swap after entering the alt
mode. The data role swap causes the device to unregister all alt
modes, however the usb hub will still send Attention messages
even after failing to reregister the Alt Mode. type_altmode_attention
currently does not verify whether or not a device's altmode partner
exists, which results in a NULL pointer error when dereferencing
the typec_altmode and typec_altmode_ops belonging to the altmode
partner.
Verify the presence of a device's altmode partner before sending
the Attention message to the Alt Mode driver. |

mtd: spi-nor: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in spi_nor_set_erase_type
spi_nor_set_erase_type() was used either to set or to mask out an erase
type. When we used it to mask out an erase type a shift-out-of-bounds
was hit:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/mtd/spi-nor/core.c:2237:24
shift exponent 4294967295 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
The setting of the size_{shift, mask} and of the opcode are unnecessary
when the erase size is zero, as throughout the code just the erase size
is considered to determine whether an erase type is supported or not.
Setting the opcode to 0xFF was wrong too as nobody guarantees that 0xFF
is an unused opcode. Thus when masking out an erase type, just set the
erase size to zero. This will fix the shift-out-of-bounds.

crypto: qat - fix out-of-bounds read
When preparing an AER-CTR request, the driver copies the key provided by
the user into a data structure that is accessible by the firmware.
If the target device is QAT GEN4, the key size is rounded up by 16 since
a rounded up size is expected by the device.
If the key size is rounded up before the copy, the size used for copying
the key might be bigger than the size of the region containing the key,
causing an out-of-bounds read.
Fix by doing the copy first and then update the keylen.
This is to fix the following warning reported by KASAN:

...namely that the bottom half of async nvdimm device registration runs
after the CXL has already torn down the context that cxl_pmem_ctl()
needs. Unlike the ACPI NFIT case that benefits from launching multiple
nvdimm device registrations in parallel from those listed in the table,
CXL is already marked PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS. So provide for a
synchronous registration path to preclude this scenario. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: use smc_lgr_list.lock to protect smc_lgr_list.list iterate in smcr_port_add
While doing smcr_port_add, there maybe linkgroup add into or delete
from smc_lgr_list.list at the same time, which may result kernel crash.
So, use smc_lgr_list.lock to protect smc_lgr_list.list iterate in
smcr_port_add.

refscale: Fix uninitalized use of wait_queue_head_t
Running the refscale test occasionally crashes the kernel with the
following error:

The likely cause is that init_waitqueue_head() is called after the call to
the torture_create_kthread() function that creates the ref_scale_reader
kthread. Although this init_waitqueue_head() call will very likely
complete before this kthread is created and starts running, it is
possible that the calling kthread will be delayed between the calls to
torture_create_kthread() and init_waitqueue_head(). In this case, the
new kthread will use the waitqueue head before it is properly initialized,
which is not good for the kernel's health and well-being.
The above crash happened here:
static inline void __add_wait_queue(...)
{
:
if (!(wq->flags & WQ_FLAG_PRIORITY)) <=== Crash here
The offset of flags from list_head entry in wait_queue_entry is
-0x18. If reader_tasks[i].wq.head.next is NULL as allocated reader_task
structure is zero initialized, the instruction will try to access address
0xffffffffffffffe8, which is exactly the fault address listed above.
This commit therefore invokes init_waitqueue_head() before creating
the kthread. |
