| 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. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/mm: Fix null-pointer dereference in pgtable_cache_add
kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: fix setting of fpc register
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_fpu() allows to set the floating point control
(fpc) register of a guest cpu. The new value is tested for validity by
temporarily loading it into the fpc register.
This may lead to corruption of the fpc register of the host process:
if an interrupt happens while the value is temporarily loaded into the fpc
register, and within interrupt context floating point or vector registers
are used, the current fp/vx registers are saved with save_fpu_regs()
assuming they belong to user space and will be loaded into fp/vx registers
when returning to user space.
test_fp_ctl() restores the original user space / host process fpc register
value, however it will be discarded, when returning to user space.
In result the host process will incorrectly continue to run with the value
that was supposed to be used for a guest cpu.
Fix this by simply removing the test. There is another test right before
the SIE context is entered which will handles invalid values.
This results in a change of behaviour: invalid values will now be accepted
instead of that the ioctl fails with -EINVAL. This seems to be acceptable,
given that this interface is most likely not used anymore, and this is in
addition the same behaviour implemented with the memory mapped interface
(replace invalid values with zero) - see sync_regs() in kvm-s390.c. |

wifi: ath9k: Fix potential array-index-out-of-bounds read in ath9k_htc_txstatus()
Fix an array-index-out-of-bounds read in ath9k_htc_txstatus(). The bug
occurs when txs->cnt, data from a URB provided by a USB device, is
bigger than the size of the array txs->txstatus, which is
HTC_MAX_TX_STATUS. WARN_ON() already checks it, but there is no bug
handling code after the check. Make the function return if that is the
case.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

scsi: libfc: Fix use after free in fc_exch_abts_resp()
fc_exch_release(ep) will decrease the ep's reference count. When the
reference count reaches zero, it is freed. But ep is still used in the
following code, which will lead to a use after free.
Return after the fc_exch_release() call to avoid use after free. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: tcmu: Fix possible page UAF
tcmu_try_get_data_page() looks up pages under cmdr_lock, but it does not
take refcount properly and just returns page pointer. When
tcmu_try_get_data_page() returns, the returned page may have been freed by
tcmu_blocks_release().
We need to get_page() under cmdr_lock to avoid concurrent
tcmu_blocks_release(). |

ice: Fix race condition during interface enslave
Commit 5dbbbd01cbba83 ("ice: Avoid RTNL lock when re-creating
auxiliary device") changes a process of re-creation of aux device
so ice_plug_aux_dev() is called from ice_service_task() context.
This unfortunately opens a race window that can result in dead-lock
when interface has left LAG and immediately enters LAG again.
Reproducer:
```
#!/bin/sh
ip link add lag0 type bond mode 1 miimon 100
ip link set lag0
for n in {1..10}; do
echo Cycle: $n
ip link set ens7f0 master lag0
sleep 1
ip link set ens7f0 nomaster
done
```

1. Command 'ip link ... set nomaster' causes that ice_plug_aux_dev()
is called from ice_service_task() context, aux device is created
and associated device->lock is taken.
2. Command 'ip link ... set master...' calls ice's notifier under
RTNL lock and that notifier calls ice_unplug_aux_dev(). That
function tries to take aux device->lock but this is already taken
by ice_plug_aux_dev() in step 1
3. Later ice_plug_aux_dev() tries to take RTNL lock but this is already
taken in step 2
4. Dead-lock
The patch fixes this issue by following changes:
- Bit ICE_FLAG_PLUG_AUX_DEV is kept to be set during ice_plug_aux_dev()
call in ice_service_task()
- The bit is checked in ice_clear_rdma_cap() and only if it is not set
then ice_unplug_aux_dev() is called. If it is set (in other words
plugging of aux device was requested and ice_plug_aux_dev() is
potentially running) then the function only clears the

net/sunrpc: fix reference count leaks in rpc_sysfs_xprt_state_change
The refcount leak issues take place in an error handling path. When the
3rd argument buf doesn't match with "offline", "online" or "remove", the
function simply returns -EINVAL and forgets to decrease the reference
count of a rpc_xprt object and a rpc_xprt_switch object increased by
rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt() and
rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt_switch(), causing reference count leaks of
both unused objects.
Fix this issue by jumping to the error handling path labelled with
out_put when buf matches none of "offline", "online" or "remove". |

nfsd: fix use-after-free due to delegation race
A delegation break could arrive as soon as we've called vfs_setlease. A
delegation break runs a callback which immediately (in
nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare) adds the delegation to del_recall_lru. If we
then exit nfs4_set_delegation without hashing the delegation, it will be
freed as soon as the callback is done with it, without ever being
removed from del_recall_lru.
Symptoms show up later as use-after-free or list corruption warnings,
usually in the laundromat thread.
I suspect aba2072f4523 "nfsd: grant read delegations to clients holding
writes" made this bug easier to hit, but I looked as far back as v3.0
and it looks to me it already had the same problem. So I'm not sure
where the bug was introduced; it may have been there from the beginning. |

Fix this by:
1) Establishing pointers to 'struct dm_io' members in
dm_io_dec_pending() so that they may be passed into end_io_acct()
_after_ free_io() is called.
2) Moving end_io_acct() after free_io(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc2: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value. |
