It is because commit a41dad905e5a ("iov_iter: saner checks for attempt
to copy to/from iterator") has introduced sanity check for copying
from/to iov iterator. Lacking of copy direction from the iterator
viewpoint would lead to kernel stack trace like above.
This commit fixes this issue by initializing the iov iterator with
the correct copy direction when sending SYN or ACK without data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: use a bounce buffer for copying skb->mark
syzbot found arm64 builds would crash in sock_recv_mark()
when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y
x86 and powerpc are not detecting the issue because
they define user_access_begin.
This will be handled in a different patch,
because a check_object_size() is missing.
Only data from skb->cb[] can be copied directly to/from user space,
as explained in commit 79a8a642bf05 ("net: Whitelist
the skbuff_head_cache "cb" field")
syzbot report was:
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'skbuff_head_cache' (offset 168, size 4)!

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/usb: kalmia: Don't pass act_len in usb_bulk_msg error path
syzbot reported that act_len in kalmia_send_init_packet() is
uninitialized when passing it to the first usb_bulk_msg error path. Jiri
Pirko noted that it's pointless to pass it in the error path, and that
the value that would be printed in the second error path would be the
value of act_len from the first call to usb_bulk_msg.[1]
With this in mind, let's just not pass act_len to the usb_bulk_msg error
paths.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
freezer,umh: Fix call_usermode_helper_exec() vs SIGKILL
Tetsuo-San noted that commit f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite
core freezer logic") broke call_usermodehelper_exec() for the KILLABLE
case.
Specifically it was missed that the second, unconditional,
wait_for_completion() was not optional and ensures the on-stack
completion is unused before going out-of-scope.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix underflow in second superblock position calculations
Macro NILFS_SB2_OFFSET_BYTES, which computes the position of the second
superblock, underflows when the argument device size is less than 4096
bytes. Therefore, when using this macro, it is necessary to check in
advance that the device size is not less than a lower limit, or at least
that underflow does not occur.
The current nilfs2 implementation lacks this check, causing out-of-bound
block access when mounting devices smaller than 4096 bytes:
I/O error, dev loop0, sector 36028797018963960 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0
phys_seg 1 prio class 2
NILFS (loop0): unable to read secondary superblock (blocksize = 1024)
In addition, when trying to resize the filesystem to a size below 4096
bytes, this underflow occurs in nilfs_resize_fs(), passing a huge number
of segments to nilfs_sufile_resize(), corrupting parameters such as the
number of segments in superblocks. This causes excessive loop iterations
in nilfs_sufile_resize() during a subsequent resize ioctl, causing
semaphore ns_segctor_sem to block for a long time and hang the writer
thread:

This fixes these issues by inserting appropriate minimum device size
checks or anti-underflow checks, depending on where the macro is used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/psi: Fix use-after-free in ep_remove_wait_queue()
If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered
trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling
waitqueue gets freed in the following path:
do_rmdir
cgroup_rmdir
kernfs_drain_open_files
cgroup_file_release
cgroup_pressure_release
psi_trigger_destroy
However, the polling thread still has a reference to the pressure file and
will access the freed waitqueue when the file is closed or upon exit:
fput
ep_eventpoll_release
ep_free
ep_remove_wait_queue
remove_wait_queue
This results in use-after-free as pasted below.
The fundamental problem here is that cgroup_file_release() (and
consequently waitqueue's lifetime) is not tied to the file's real lifetime.
Using wake_up_pollfree() here might be less than ideal, but it is in line
with the comment at commit 42288cb44c4b ("wait: add wake_up_pollfree()")
since the waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's one and can be
considered as another special case. While this would be fixable by somehow
making cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it would require
sizable refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be more
justifiable if we identify more cases like this.
