PCI: pciehp: Fix infinite loop in IRQ handler upon power fault
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: pciehp: Fix infinite loop in IRQ handler upon power fault
The Power Fault Detected bit in the Slot Status register differs from
all other hotplug events in that it is sticky: It can only be cleared
after turning off slot power. Per PCIe r5.0, sec. 6.7.1.8:
If a power controller detects a main power fault on the hot-plug slot,
it must automatically set its internal main power fault latch [...].
The main power fault latch is cleared when software turns off power to
the hot-plug slot.
The stickiness used to cause interrupt storms and infinite loops which

usb-storage: alauda: Check whether the media is initialized
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb-storage: alauda: Check whether the media is initialized
The member "uzonesize" of struct alauda_info will remain 0
if alauda_init_media() fails, potentially causing divide errors
in alauda_read_data() and alauda_write_lba().
- Add a member "media_initialized" to struct alauda_info.
- Change a condition in alauda_check_media() to ensure the
first initialization.
- Add an error check for the return value of alauda_init_media().

firmware: arm_scpi: Fix string overflow in SCPI genpd driver
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scpi: Fix string overflow in SCPI genpd driver
Without the bound checks for scpi_pd->name, it could result in the buffer
overflow when copying the SCPI device name from the corresponding device
tree node as the name string is set at maximum size of 30.
Let us fix it by using devm_kasprintf so that the string buffer is
allocated dynamically.
net: netlink: af_netlink: Prevent empty skb by adding a check on len.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: netlink: af_netlink: Prevent empty skb by adding a check on len.
Adding a check on len parameter to avoid empty skb. This prevents a
division error in netem_enqueue function which is caused when skb->len=0
and skb->data_len=0 in the randomized corruption step as shown below.
skb->data[prandom_u32() % skb_headlen(skb)] ^= 1<<(prandom_u32() % 8);

audit: improve robustness of the audit queue handling
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: improve robustness of the audit queue handling
If the audit daemon were ever to get stuck in a stopped state the
kernel's kauditd_thread() could get blocked attempting to send audit
records to the userspace audit daemon. With the kernel thread
blocked it is possible that the audit queue could grow unbounded as
certain audit record generating events must be exempt from the queue
limits else the system enter a deadlock state.
This patch resolves this problem by lowering the kernel thread's
socket sending timeout from MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT to HZ/10 and tweaks
the kaudi
mac80211: track only QoS data frames for admission control
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac80211: track only QoS data frames for admission control
For admission control, obviously all of that only works for
QoS data frames, otherwise we cannot even access the QoS
field in the header.
Syzbot reported (see below) an uninitialized value here due
to a status of a non-QoS nullfunc packet, which isn't even
long enough to contain the QoS header.
Fix this to only do anything for QoS data packets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

inet_diag: fix kernel-infoleak for UDP sockets
KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak [1], that can exploited
by unpriv users.
After analysis it turned out UDP was not initializing
r->idiag_expires. Other users of inet_sk_diag_fill()
might make the same mistake in the future, so fix this
in inet_sk_diag_fill().

igbvf: fix double free in `igbvf_probe`
In `igbvf_probe`, if register_netdev() fails, the program will go to
label err_hw_init, and then to label err_ioremap. In free_netdev() which
is just below label err_ioremap, there is `list_for_each_entry_safe` and
`netif_napi_del` which aims to delete all entries in `dev->napi_list`.
The program has added an entry `adapter->rx_ring->napi` which is added by
`netif_napi_add` in igbvf_alloc_queues(). However, adapter->rx_ring has
been freed below label err_hw_init. So this a UAF.
In terms of how to patch the problem, we can refer to ig
sit: do not call ipip6_dev_free() from sit_init_net()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sit: do not call ipip6_dev_free() from sit_init_net()
ipip6_dev_free is sit dev->priv_destructor, already called
by register_netdevice() if something goes wrong.
Alternative would be to make ipip6_dev_free() robust against
multiple invocations, but other drivers do not implement this
strategy.

net: systemport: Add global locking for descriptor lifecycle
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: systemport: Add global locking for descriptor lifecycle
The descriptor list is a shared resource across all of the transmit queues, and
the locking mechanism used today only protects concurrency across a given
transmit queue between the transmit and reclaiming. This creates an opportunity
for the SYSTEMPORT hardware to work on corrupted descriptors if we have
multiple producers at once which is the case when using multiple transmit
queues.
This was particularly noticeable when using multiple flows/transmit queues and
it showed up in interesting ways in that UDP packet
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mxl111sf: change mutex_init() location
Syzbot reported, that mxl111sf_ctrl_msg() uses uninitialized
mutex. The problem was in wrong mutex_init() location.
Previous mutex_init(&state->msg_lock) call was in ->init() function, but
dvb_usbv2_init() has this order of calls:
dvb_usbv2_init()
dvb_usbv2_adapter_init()
dvb_usbv2_adapter_frontend_init()
props->frontend_attach()
props->init()
Since mxl111sf_* devices call mxl111sf_ctrl_msg() in ->frontend_attach()
internally we need to initialize state->msg_lock before
frontend_attach(). To achieve it, ->

ovl: fix warning in ovl_create_real()
Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() ->
ovl_create_real():
if (!err && WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) {
The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without
instantiating the new dentry.
Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later
stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real()
directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.

ALSA: timer: Set lower bound of start tick time
Currently ALSA timer doesn't have the lower limit of the start tick
time, and it allows a very small size, e.g. 1 tick with 1ns resolution
for hrtimer. Such a situation may lead to an unexpected RCU stall,
where the callback repeatedly queuing the expire update, as reported
by fuzzer.
This patch introduces a sanity check of the timer start tick time, so
that the system returns an error when a too small start size is set.
As of this patch, the lower limit is hard-coded to 100us, which is
small enough but can still work someh
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: exit() callback is optional

m68k: Fix spinlock race in kernel thread creation
Context switching does take care to retain the correct lock owner across
the switch from 'prev' to 'next' tasks. This does rely on interrupts
remaining disabled for the entire duration of the switch.
This condition is guaranteed for normal process creation and context
switching between already running processes, because both 'prev' and
'next' already have interrupts disabled in their saved copies of the
status register.
The situation is different for newly created kernel threads. The status
register is set to PS_S in cop
