dm cache: fix out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset when resizing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset when resizing
dm-cache checks the dirty bits of the cache blocks to be dropped when
shrinking the fast device, but an index bug in bitset iteration causes
out-of-bounds access.
Reproduce steps:
1. create a cache device of 1024 cache blocks (128 bytes dirty bitset)
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"

dm cache: fix potential out-of-bounds access on the first resume
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix potential out-of-bounds access on the first resume
Out-of-bounds access occurs if the fast device is expanded unexpectedly
before the first-time resume of the cache table. This happens because
expanding the fast device requires reloading the cache table for
cache_create to allocate new in-core data structures that fit the new
size, and the check in cache_preresume is not performed during the
first resume, leading to the issue.
Reproduce steps:
1. prepare component devices:
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table
USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix use after free in debug printk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix use after free in debug printk
The "dev_dbg(&urb->dev->dev, ..." which happens after usb_free_urb(urb)
is a use after free of the "urb" pointer. Store the "dev" pointer at the
start of the function to avoid this issue.
ocfs2: remove entry once instead of null-ptr-dereference in ocfs2_xa_remove()

Kernel: ksmbd: transform header out-of-bounds read information disclosure vulnerability
A flaw was found within the parsing of SMB2 requests that have a transform header in the kernel ksmbd module. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Linux. Only systems with ksmbd enabled are vulnerable to this CVE.
Kernel: cyttsp4_core: use-after-free in cyttsp4_watchdog_work()
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the cyttsp4_core driver in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs in the device cleanup routine due to a possible rearming of the watchdog_timer from the workqueue. This could allow a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service.
wifi: iwlegacy: Clear stale interrupts before resuming device
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlegacy: Clear stale interrupts before resuming device
iwl4965 fails upon resume from hibernation on my laptop. The reason
seems to be a stale interrupt which isn't being cleared out before
interrupts are enabled. We end up with a race beween the resume
trying to bring things back up, and the restart work (queued form
the interrupt handler) trying to bring things down. Eventually
the whole thing blows up.
Fix the problem by clearing out any stale interrupts before
interrupts get enabled during resume.
Here's a debug log of the indicent:

staging: iio: frequency: ad9832: fix division by zero in ad9832_calc_freqreg()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: iio: frequency: ad9832: fix division by zero in ad9832_calc_freqreg()
In the ad9832_write_frequency() function, clk_get_rate() might return 0.
This can lead to a division by zero when calling ad9832_calc_freqreg().
The check if (fout > (clk_get_rate(st->mclk) / 2)) does not protect
against the case when fout is 0. The ad9832_write_frequency() function
is called from ad9832_write(), and fout is derived from a text buffer,
which can contain any value.
nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of checked flag
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of checked flag
Syzbot reported that in directory operations after nilfs2 detects
filesystem corruption and degrades to read-only,
__block_write_begin_int(), which is called to prepare block writes, may
fail the BUG_ON check for accesses exceeding the folio/page size,
triggering a kernel bug.
This was found to be because the "checked" flag of a page/folio was not
cleared when it was discarded by nilfs2's own routine, which causes the
sanity check of directory entries to be skipped when the directory
page/folio is reloaded. So
ocfs2: pass u64 to ocfs2_truncate_inline maybe overflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: pass u64 to ocfs2_truncate_inline maybe overflow
Syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_truncate_inline. There are two
reasons for this: first, the parameter value passed is greater than
ocfs2_max_inline_data_with_xattr, second, the start and end parameters of
ocfs2_truncate_inline are "unsigned int".
So, we need to add a sanity check for byte_start and byte_len right before
ocfs2_truncate_inline() in ocfs2_remove_inode_range(), if they are greater
than ocfs2_max_inline_data_with_xattr return -EINVAL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: refactor inode_bmap() to handle error
Refactor inode_bmap() to handle error since udf_next_aext() can return
error now. On situations like ftruncate, udf_extend_file() can now
detect errors and bail out early without resorting to checking for
particular offsets and assuming internal behavior of these functions.
nilfs2: propagate directory read errors from nilfs_find_entry()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: propagate directory read errors from nilfs_find_entry()
Syzbot reported that a task hang occurs in vcs_open() during a fuzzing
test for nilfs2.
The root cause of this problem is that in nilfs_find_entry(), which
searches for directory entries, ignores errors when loading a directory
page/folio via nilfs_get_folio() fails.
If the filesystem images is corrupted, and the i_size of the directory
inode is large, and the directory page/folio is successfully read but
fails the sanity check, for example when it is zero-filled,
nilfs_check_folio() may continue to spit out
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma
I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff. The
problem can be reproduced by the following steps:
1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory.
2. Swapout the above anonymous memory.
3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message:
mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7)
We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in
unuse_pud_range() by ftrace. And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never
be freed because we
posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64 check in pc_clock_settime()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64 check in pc_clock_settime()
As Andrew pointed out, it will make sense that the PTP core
checked timespec64 struct's tv_sec and tv_nsec range before calling
ptp->info->settime64().
As the man manual of clock_settime() said, if tp.tv_sec is negative or
tp.tv_nsec is outside the range [0..999,999,999], it should return EINVAL,
which include dynamic clocks which handles PTP clock, and the condition is
consistent with timespec64_valid(). As Thomas suggested, timespec64_valid()
only check the timespec is valid, but not ensure that the time is

fbdev: sisfb: Fix strbuf array overflow
The values of the variables xres and yres are placed in strbuf.
These variables are obtained from strbuf1.
The strbuf1 array contains digit characters
and a space if the array contains non-digit characters.
Then, when executing sprintf(strbuf, "%ux%ux8", xres, yres);
more than 16 bytes will be written to strbuf.
It is suggested to increase the size of the strbuf array to 24.

xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is unset
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is unset
This expands the validation introduced in commit 07bf7908950a ("xfrm:
Validate address prefix lengths in the xfrm selector.")
syzbot created an SA with
usersa.sel.family = AF_UNSPEC
usersa.sel.prefixlen_s = 128
usersa.family = AF_INET
Because of the AF_UNSPEC selector, verify_newsa_info doesn't put
limits on prefixlen_{s,d}. But then copy_from_user_state sets
x->sel.family to usersa.family (AF_INET). Do the same conversion in
verify_newsa_info before validating prefixlen_{s,d}, since th
