tipc: require net admin for TIPCv2 netlink mutators
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: require net admin for TIPCv2 netlink mutators
TIPCv2 registers mutating generic-netlink operations without admin
permission flags. Generic netlink only checks CAP_NET_ADMIN when an
operation sets GENL_ADMIN_PERM or GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, so a local
unprivileged process can currently change TIPC state through commands
such as TIPC_NL_NET_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_FLUSH, and
bearer enable/disable.
The legacy TIPC netlink API already checks netlink_net_capable(...,
CAP_NET_ADMIN) for administrative commands. Give the TIPCv2 mutators
the equivalent generic-netlink

tipc: prevent snt_unacked underflow on CONN_ACK
tipc_sk_conn_proto_rcv() subtracts the peer-supplied connection ack count
from the unsigned 16-bit send counter snt_unacked without checking that it
does not exceed the number of messages actually outstanding:
tsk->snt_unacked -= msg_conn_ack(hdr);
msg_conn_ack() is read straight from a received CONN_MANAGER/CONN_ACK
message. If the ack count is larger than snt_unacked, the subtraction
wraps to a near-maximum value, leaving tsk_conn_cong() permanently true
and starving the connection of further transmits.

tipc: reject inverted service ranges from peer bindings
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: reject inverted service ranges from peer bindings
tipc_update_nametbl() inserts a binding advertised by a peer node using
the lower and upper service-range bounds taken directly from the wire,
without checking that lower <= upper. The local bind path validates the
ordering (tipc_uaddr_valid()), but the name-distribution path does not.
A binding with lower > upper is inserted at the far end of the
service-range rbtree (keyed on lower) where no lookup or withdrawal can
ever match it (service_range_foreach_match() requires sr->lower <= end).

ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event()
The comment above bounce_error_event() documents that user clients
should receive SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE with the original event embedded
as variable-length data, while kernel clients should receive
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with a quoted kernel pointer.
However, the implementation unconditionally uses
SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_KERNEL_ERROR with data.quote.event set to the raw
struct snd_seq_event pointer for all clients. When a bounce error
event is delivered to a USER_CLIENT via snd_seq_read(), the kernel

spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: xilinx: use FIFO occupancy register to determine buffer size
The method the driver uses to determine the size of the FIFO has a
problem. What it currently does is this:
It stops the SPI hardware and writes to the TX FIFO register until TX
FIFO FULL asserts in the status register. But the hardware does not only
have the FIFO, it also has a shift register which can hold a byte. This
can be seen, when writing a byte to the FIFO (while the SPI hardware is
stopped,) the TX FIFO EMPTY is still empty. So, if we have a FIFO size
of 16 for example, the current method returns a

cxl/region: Resolve region deletion races
Sungwoo noticed that the sysfs trigger to delete a region may try to delete
a region multiple times. It also has no exclusion relative to the kernel
releasing the region via CXL root device teardown.
Instead of installing new cxl root devres actions per region, use the
existing root decoder unregistration event to remove all remaining regions.
An xarray of regions replaces a devres list of regions.
This handles 3 separate issues with the old approach:

bnxt: fix head underflow on XDP head-grow
The xdp.py test test_xdp_native_adjst_head_grow_data crashes when run on
a bnxt machine (and also crashes in NIPA).
It seems that the bug is an underflow in bnxt_rx_multi_page_skb, which
builds the skb head:
napi_build_skb(data_ptr - bp->rx_offset, rxr->rx_page_size);
The problem with this expression is that in page mode, rx_offset is:
bp->rx_offset = NET_IP_ALIGN + XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM;
Which evaluates (at least on x86_64) to 258.
The test test_xdp_native_adjst_head_grow_data tests a case where the
head is adjusted by -256
tcp: clear sock_ops cb flags before force-closing a child socket
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: clear sock_ops cb flags before force-closing a child socket
A child socket inherits the listener's bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags via
sk_clone_lock(). If its setup fails in tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() /
tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock(), the child is freed through put_and_exit, where
inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() drops the socket lock and tcp_done() runs
without it.
If BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB_FLAG was inherited, tcp_done() -> tcp_set_state()
calls tcp_call_bpf(), which expects the lock and trips sock_owned_by_me():

net/sched: sch_codel: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_codel: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen
Whenever codel drops packets during peek, it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops
to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will
be executed even though codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,
will mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a wild
memory access when qfq has codel as a child:

net: mana: initialize gdma queue id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: initialize gdma queue id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID
mana_gd_create_mana_wq_cq() leaves queue->id as 0 (from kzalloc_obj())
until mana_create_wq_obj() assigns the firmware-returned id. If creation
fails before that, cleanup calls mana_gd_destroy_cq() with id 0, NULLing
gc->cq_table[0] and silently breaking whichever real CQ owns that slot.
Initialize queue->id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID right after allocation, matching
mana_gd_create_eq(). The existing (id >= max_num_cqs) guard then
short-circuits cleanly.

net: watchdog: fix refcount tracking races
Blamed commit converted the untracked dev_hold()/dev_put() calls
in the watchdog code to use the tracked dev_hold_track()/dev_put_track()
(which were later renamed/interfaced to netdev_hold() and netdev_put()).
By introducing dev->watchdog_dev_tracker to store the
reference tracking information without adding synchronization
between netdev_watchdog_up() and dev_watchdog(), it enabled the
race condition where this pointer could be overwritten or freed
concurrently, leading to the list corruption crash syzbot reported:

kcm: use WRITE_ONCE() when changing lower socket callbacks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: use WRITE_ONCE() when changing lower socket callbacks
kcm_attach() replaces a live lower TCP socket's sk_data_ready and
sk_write_space callbacks with KCM handlers, and kcm_unattach() restores
them later. Those callback-pointer updates are still plain stores even
though the same fields can be read and invoked concurrently on other
CPUs.
If another CPU observes an older callback snapshot after the live field
has already been restored, callback execution can run with a mismatched
target and sk_user_data state, leading to stale or misdirected wakeups.

ALSA: seq: avoid stale FIFO cells during resize
snd_seq_fifo_resize() still needs to publish the replacement pool
before it waits for FIFO users. A blocking snd_seq_read() holds
f->use_lock while it sleeps, so concurrent senders must be able to
queue to the new pool and wake that reader instead of failing against a
closing old pool.
However, snd_seq_fifo_event_in() duplicates an event before it takes
f->lock, and snd_seq_read() can dequeue a cell and later call
snd_seq_fifo_cell_putback() if copy_to_user() or
snd_seq_expand_var_event() fails. If resize swaps f->pool and de

sockmap: Fix use-after-free in udp_bpf_recvmsg()
syzbot reported use-after-free of struct sk_msg in sk_msg_recvmsg(). [0]
sk_msg_recvmsg() peeks sk_msg from psock->ingress_msg under a lock,
but its processing is lockless.
Thus, sk_msg_recvmsg() must be serialised by callers, otherwise
multiple threads could touch the same sk_msg.
For example, TCP uses lock_sock(), and AF_UNIX uses unix_sk(sk)->iolock.
Initially, udp_bpf_recvmsg() had used lock_sock(), but the cited
commit removed it.
Let's serialise sk_msg_recvmsg() with lock_sock() in udp_bpf_recvmsg().

tipc: fix UAF in tipc_l2_send_msg()
Syzbot reported a slab-use-after-free in ipvlan_hard_header() when
called from tipc_l2_send_msg().
The root cause is that tipc_disable_l2_media() calls synchronize_net()
while b->media_ptr is still valid. This allows concurrent RCU readers
to obtain the device pointer after synchronize_net() has finished.
The pointer is cleared later in bearer_disable(), but without any
subsequent synchronization, allowing the device to be freed while
still in use by readers.

tcp: ipv6: clamp default adverting MSS to avoid GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xFFFF)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: ipv6: clamp default adverting MSS to avoid GSO_BY_FRAGS (0xFFFF)
When MTU is large, ip6_default_advmss() can return IPV6_MAXPLEN (65535).
This is interpreted by TCP as mss_clamp, allowing the MSS to reach 65535.
However, 0xFFFF is also used as a magic value GSO_BY_FRAGS in the kernel.
If a TCP packet with gso_size=0xFFFF is passed to skb_segment(), it will
be mistakenly treated as GSO_BY_FRAGS, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference because local TCP packets do not use frag_list.
Fix this by returning min(IPV6_MAXPLEN, GSO_BY_FRAGS - 1) (65534) from
