In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
workqueue: Fix selection of wake_cpu in kick_pool()
With cpu_possible_mask=0-63 and cpu_online_mask=0-7 the following
kernel oops was observed:
smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
smp: Brought up 1 node, 8 CPUs
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space

The crash is caused by calling arch_vcpu_is_preempted() for an offline
CPU. To avoid this, select the cpu with cpumask_any_and_distribute()
to mask __pod_cpumask with cpu_online_mask. In case no cpu is left in
the pool, skip the assignment.
tj: This doesn't fully fix the bug as CPUs can still go down between picking
the target CPU and the wake call. Fixing that likely requires adding
cpu_online() test to either the sched or s390 arch code. However, regardless
of how that is fixed, workqueue shouldn't be picking a CPU which isn't
online as that would result in unpredictable and worse behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference
Currently the code calls mas_start() followed by mas_data_end() if the
maple state is MA_START, but mas_start() may return with the maple state
node == NULL. This will lead to a null pointer dereference when checking
information in the NULL node, which is done in mas_data_end().
Avoid setting the offset if there is no node by waiting until after the
maple state is checked for an empty or single entry state.
A user could trigger the events to cause a kernel oops by unmapping all
vmas to produce an empty maple tree, then mapping a vma that would cause
the scenario described above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: Check for port partner validity before consuming it
typec_register_partner() does not guarantee partner registration
to always succeed. In the event of failure, port->partner is set
to the error value or NULL. Given that port->partner validity is
not checked, this results in the following crash:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address xx

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix race between aio_cancel() and AIO request complete
FFS based applications can utilize the aio_cancel() callback to dequeue
pending USB requests submitted to the UDC. There is a scenario where the
FFS application issues an AIO cancel call, while the UDC is handling a
soft disconnect. For a DWC3 based implementation, the callstack looks
like the following:
DWC3 Gadget FFS Application
dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect() ...
--> dwc3_stop_active_transfers()
--> dwc3_gadget_giveback(-ESHUTDOWN)
--> ffs_epfile_async_io_complete() ffs_aio_cancel()
--> usb_ep_free_request() --> usb_ep_dequeue()
There is currently no locking implemented between the AIO completion
handler and AIO cancel, so the issue occurs if the completion routine is
running in parallel to an AIO cancel call coming from the FFS application.
As the completion call frees the USB request (io_data->req) the FFS
application is also referencing it for the usb_ep_dequeue() call. This can
lead to accessing a stale/hanging pointer.
commit b566d38857fc ("usb: gadget: f_fs: use io_data->status consistently")
relocated the usb_ep_free_request() into ffs_epfile_async_io_complete().
However, in order to properly implement locking to mitigate this issue, the
spinlock can't be added to ffs_epfile_async_io_complete(), as
usb_ep_dequeue() (if successfully dequeuing a USB request) will call the
function driver's completion handler in the same context. Hence, leading
into a deadlock.
Fix this issue by moving the usb_ep_free_request() back to
ffs_user_copy_worker(), and ensuring that it explicitly sets io_data->req
to NULL after freeing it within the ffs->eps_lock. This resolves the race
condition above, as the ffs_aio_cancel() routine will not continue
attempting to dequeue a request that has already been freed, or the
ffs_user_copy_work() not freeing the USB request until the AIO cancel is
done referencing it.
This fix depends on
commit b566d38857fc ("usb: gadget: f_fs: use io_data->status
consistently")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
keys: Fix overwrite of key expiration on instantiation
The expiry time of a key is unconditionally overwritten during
instantiation, defaulting to turn it permanent. This causes a problem
for DNS resolution as the expiration set by user-space is overwritten to
TIME64_MAX, disabling further DNS updates. Fix this by restoring the
condition that key_set_expiry is only called when the pre-parser sets a
specific expiry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/userfaultfd: reset ptes when close() for wr-protected ones
Userfaultfd unregister includes a step to remove wr-protect bits from all
the relevant pgtable entries, but that only covered an explicit
UFFDIO_UNREGISTER ioctl, not a close() on the userfaultfd itself. Cover
that too. This fixes a WARN trace.
The only user visible side effect is the user can observe leftover
wr-protect bits even if the user close()ed on an userfaultfd when
releasing the last reference of it. However hopefully that should be
harmless, and nothing bad should happen even if so.
This change is now more important after the recent page-table-check
patch we merged in mm-unstable (446dd9ad37d0 ("mm/page_table_check:
support userfault wr-protect entries")), as we'll do sanity check on
uffd-wp bits without vma context. So it's better if we can 100%
guarantee no uffd-wp bit leftovers, to make sure each report will be
valid.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/arm-smmu: Use the correct type in nvidia_smmu_context_fault()
This was missed because of the function pointer indirection.
nvidia_smmu_context_fault() is also installed as a irq function, and the
'void *' was changed to a struct arm_smmu_domain. Since the iommu_domain
is embedded at a non-zero offset this causes nvidia_smmu_context_fault()
to miscompute the offset. Fixup the types.
