ata: pata_octeon_cf: Fix refcount leak in octeon_cf_probe

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: pata_octeon_cf: Fix refcount leak in octeon_cf_probe of_find_device_by_node() takes reference, we should use put_device() to release it when not need anymore. Add missing put_device() to avoid refcount leak.

net: altera: Fix refcount leak in altera_tse_mdio_create

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: altera: Fix refcount leak in altera_tse_mdio_create Every iteration of for_each_child_of_node() decrements the reference count of the previous node. When break from a for_each_child_of_node() loop, we need to explicitly call of_node_put() on the child node when not need anymore. Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

net: xfrm: unexport __init-annotated xfrm4_protocol_init()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: xfrm: unexport __init-annotated xfrm4_protocol_init() EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade. Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds. There are two ways to fix it: - Remove __init - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL I chose the latter for this case because the only in-

af_unix: Fix a data-race in unix_dgram_peer_wake_me().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: af_unix: Fix a data-race in unix_dgram_peer_wake_me(). unix_dgram_poll() calls unix_dgram_peer_wake_me() without `other`'s lock held and check if its receive queue is full. Here we need to use unix_recvq_full_lockless() instead of unix_recvq_full(), otherwise KCSAN will report a data-race.

ext4: avoid cycles in directory h-tree

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: avoid cycles in directory h-tree A maliciously corrupted filesystem can contain cycles in the h-tree stored inside a directory. That can easily lead to the kernel corrupting tree nodes that were already verified under its hands while doing a node split and consequently accessing unallocated memory. Fix the problem by verifying traversed block numbers are unique.

ocfs2: dlmfs: fix error handling of user_dlm_destroy_lock

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: dlmfs: fix error handling of user_dlm_destroy_lock When user_dlm_destroy_lock failed, it didn't clean up the flags it set before exit. For USER_LOCK_IN_TEARDOWN, if this function fails because of lock is still in used, next time when unlink invokes this function, it will return succeed, and then unlink will remove inode and dentry if lock is not in used(file closed), but the dlm lock is still linked in dlm lock resource, then when bast come in, it will trigger a panic due to user-after-free. See the following panic call trace. To fix this, USER_LOCK_IN_TEARDOWN sh

drm/amdgpu/cs: make commands with 0 chunks illegal behaviour.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/cs: make commands with 0 chunks illegal behaviour. Submitting a cs with 0 chunks, causes an oops later, found trying to execute the wrong userspace driver. MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=v3d glxinfo [172536.665184] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000001d8 [172536.665188] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [172536.665189] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [172536.665191] PGD 6712a0067 P4D 6712a0067 PUD 5af9ff067 PMD 0 [172536.665195] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [172536.665197] CPU: 7 PID: 2769838 Comm: glxinfo Tainted: P

nfc: st21nfca: fix memory leaks in EVT_TRANSACTION handling

tcp: fix tcp_mtup_probe_success vs wrong snd_cwnd

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: fix tcp_mtup_probe_success vs wrong snd_cwnd syzbot got a new report [1] finally pointing to a very old bug, added in initial support for MTU probing. tcp_mtu_probe() has checks about starting an MTU probe if tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= 11. But nothing prevents tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) to be reduced later and before the MTU probe succeeds. This bug would lead to potential zero-divides. Debugging added in commit 40570375356c ("tcp: add accessors to read/set tp->snd_cwnd") has paid off :) While we are at it, address potential overflows in this code. [1] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 14132

bcache: avoid journal no-space deadlock by reserving 1 journal bucket

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bcache: avoid journal no-space deadlock by reserving 1 journal bucket The journal no-space deadlock was reported time to time. Such deadlock can happen in the following situation. When all journal buckets are fully filled by active jset with heavy write I/O load, the cache set registration (after a reboot) will load all active jsets and inserting them into the btree again (which is called journal replay). If a journaled bkey is inserted into a btree node and results btree node split, new journal request might be triggered. For example, the btree grows one more level after

rtl818x: Prevent using not initialized queues

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtl818x: Prevent using not initialized queues Using not existing queues can panic the kernel with rtl8180/rtl8185 cards. Ignore the skb priority for those cards, they only have one tx queue. Pierre Asselin ([email protected]) reported the kernel crash in the Gentoo forum: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1147832-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html He also confirmed that this patch fixes the issue. In summary this happened: After updating wpa_supplicant from 2.9 to 2.10 the kernel crashed with a "divide error: 0000" when connecting to an AP. Control port tx now tries t

tcp: add accessors to read/set tp->snd_cwnd

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: add accessors to read/set tp->snd_cwnd We had various bugs over the years with code breaking the assumption that tp->snd_cwnd is greater than zero. Lately, syzbot reported the WARN_ON_ONCE(!tp->prior_cwnd) added in commit 8b8a321ff72c ("tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction") can trigger, and without a repro we would have to spend considerable time finding the bug. Instead of complaining too late, we want to catch where and when tp->snd_cwnd is set to an illegal value.

tracing: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context on RT kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context on RT kernel When setting bootparams="trace_event=initcall:initcall_start tp_printk=1" in the cmdline, the output_printk() was called, and the spin_lock_irqsave() was called in the atomic and irq disable interrupt context suitation. On the PREEMPT_RT kernel, these locks are replaced with sleepable rt-spinlock, so the stack calltrace will be triggered. Fix it by raw_spin_lock_irqsave when PREEMPT_RT and "trace_event=initcall:initcall_start tp_printk=1" enabled. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at

xprtrdma: treat all calls not a bcall when bc_serv is NULL

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xprtrdma: treat all calls not a bcall when bc_serv is NULL When a rdma server returns a fault format reply, nfs v3 client may treats it as a bcall when bc service is not exist.

f2fs: remove WARN_ON in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: remove WARN_ON in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr Syzbot triggers two WARNs in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr and __is_bitmap_valid. For example, in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr, if type is DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE or DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE_READ, it invokes WARN_ON if blkaddr is not in the right range. The call trace is as follows: f2fs_get_node_info+0x45f/0x1070 read_node_page+0x577/0x1190 __get_node_page.part.0+0x9e/0x10e0 __get_node_page f2fs_get_node_page+0x109/0x180 do_read_inode f2fs_iget+0x2a5/0x58b0 f2fs_fill_super+0x3b39/0x7ca0 Fix these two WARNs by replacing WARN_ON with dump_st
