btrfs: fix the inode leak in btrfs_iget()
[BUG]
There is a bug report that a syzbot reproducer can lead to the following
busy inode at unmount time:
BTRFS info (device loop1): last unmount of filesystem 1680000e-3c1e-4c46-84b6-56bd3909af50
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of loop1 (btrfs)

[CAUSE]
When btrfs_alloc_path() failed, btrfs_iget() directly returned without
releasing the inode already allocated by btrfs_iget_locked().
This results the above busy inode and trigger the kernel BUG.
[FIX]
Fix it by calling iget_failed() if btrfs_alloc_path() failed.
If we hit error inside btrfs_read_locked_inode(), it will properly call
iget_failed(), so nothing to worry about.
Although the iget_failed() cleanup inside btrfs_read_locked_inode() is a
break of the normal error handling scheme, let's fix the obvious bug
and backport first, then rework the error handling later.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Balance device refcount when destroying devices
Using device_find_child() to lookup the proper SCMI device to destroy
causes an unbalance in device refcount, since device_find_child() calls an
implicit get_device(): this, in turns, inhibits the call of the provided
release methods upon devices destruction.
As a consequence, one of the structures that is not freed properly upon
destruction is the internal struct device_private dev->p populated by the
drivers subsystem core.
KMemleak detects this situation since loading/unloding some SCMI driver
causes related devices to be created/destroyed without calling any
device_release method.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: use sock_gen_put() when sk_state is TCP_TIME_WAIT
It is possible for a pointer of type struct inet_timewait_sock to be
returned from the functions __inet_lookup_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established(). This can cause a crash when the
returned pointer is of type struct inet_timewait_sock and
sock_put() is called on it. The following is a crash call stack that
shows sk->sk_wmem_alloc being accessed in sk_free() during the call to
sock_put() on a struct inet_timewait_sock pointer. To avoid this issue,
use sock_gen_put() instead of sock_put() when sk->sk_state
is TCP_TIME_WAIT.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix error handling path in bnxt_init_chip()
WARN_ON() is triggered in __flush_work() if bnxt_init_chip() fails
because we call cancel_work_sync() on dim work that has not been
initialized.
WARNING: CPU: 37 PID: 5223 at kernel/workqueue.c:4201 __flush_work.isra.0+0x212/0x230
The driver relies on the BNXT_STATE_NAPI_DISABLED bit to check if dim
work has already been cancelled. But in the bnxt_open() path,
BNXT_STATE_NAPI_DISABLED is not set and this causes the error
path to think that it needs to cancel the uninitalized dim work.
Fix it by setting BNXT_STATE_NAPI_DISABLED during initialization.
The bit will be cleared when we enable NAPI and initialize dim work.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spi-mem: Add fix to avoid divide error
For some SPI flash memory operations, dummy bytes are not mandatory. For
example, in Winbond SPINAND flash memory devices, the `write_cache` and
`update_cache` operation variants have zero dummy bytes. Calculating the
duration for SPI memory operations with zero dummy bytes causes
a divide error when `ncycles` is calculated in the
spi_mem_calc_op_duration().
Add changes to skip the 'ncylcles' calculation for zero dummy bytes.
Following divide error is fixed by this change:

An unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in RSI Queue Management System v3.0 within the TaskID parameter of the get request handler. Attackers can remotely inject time-delayed SQL payloads to induce server response delays, enabling time-based inference and iterative extraction of sensitive database contents without authentication.
IBM Security ReaQta EDR 3.12 could allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by interfering with the communication path between the host and client.
A vulnerability has been found in Netgear DGND3700 1.1.00.15_1.00.15NA and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /currentsetting.htm of the component mini_http. The manipulation leads to information disclosure. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Other products might be affected as well. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.
TYPO3 is an open source, PHP based web content management system. In versions on the 12.x branch prior to 12.4.31 LTS and the 13.x branch prior to 13.4.2 LTS, the multifactor authentication (MFA) dialog presented during backend login can be bypassed due to insufficient enforcement of access restrictions on all backend routes. Successful exploitation requires valid backend user credentials, as MFA can only be bypassed after successful authentication. Users should update to TYPO3 version 12.4.31 LTS or 13.4.12 LTS to fix the problem.
