In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix flushing uninitialized delayed_work on cache_ctr error
An unexpected WARN_ON from flush_work() may occur when cache creation
fails, caused by destroying the uninitialized delayed_work waker in the
error path of cache_create(). For example, the warning appears on the
superblock checksum error.
Reproduce steps:
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
Kernel logs:
(snip)
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 84 at kernel/workqueue.c:4178 __flush_work+0x5d4/0x890
Fix by pulling out the cancel_delayed_work_sync() from the constructor's
error path. This patch doesn't affect the use-after-free fix for
concurrent dm_resume and dm_destroy (commit 6a459d8edbdb ("dm cache: Fix
UAF in destroy()")) as cache_dtr is not changed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KEYS: trusted: dcp: fix NULL dereference in AEAD crypto operation
When sealing or unsealing a key blob we currently do not wait for
the AEAD cipher operation to finish and simply return after submitting
the request. If there is some load on the system we can exit before
the cipher operation is done and the buffer we read from/write to
is already removed from the stack. This will e.g. result in NULL
pointer dereference errors in the DCP driver during blob creation.
Fix this by waiting for the AEAD cipher operation to finish before
resuming the seal and unseal calls.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix slab-use-after-free in smb3_preauth_hash_rsp
ksmbd_user_session_put should be called under smb3_preauth_hash_rsp().
It will avoid freeing session before calling smb3_preauth_hash_rsp().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: Fix the missing xa_store error check
xa_store() can fail, it return xa_err(-EINVAL) if the entry cannot
be stored in an XArray, or xa_err(-ENOMEM) if memory allocation failed,
so check error for xa_store() to fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: check outstanding simultaneous SMB operations
If Client send simultaneous SMB operations to ksmbd, It exhausts too much
memory through the "ksmbd_work_cache”. It will cause OOM issue.
ksmbd has a credit mechanism but it can't handle this problem. This patch
add the check if it exceeds max credits to prevent this problem by assuming
that one smb request consumes at least one credit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix slab-use-after-free in ksmbd_smb2_session_create
There is a race condition between ksmbd_smb2_session_create and
ksmbd_expire_session. This patch add missing sessions_table_lock
while adding/deleting session from global session table.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-tpg: prevent the risk of a division by zero
As reported by Coverity, the logic at tpg_precalculate_line()
blindly rescales the buffer even when scaled_witdh is equal to
zero. If this ever happens, this will cause a division by zero.
Instead, add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to trigger such cases and return
without doing any precalculation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/core: avoid overflow in damon_feed_loop_next_input()
damon_feed_loop_next_input() is inefficient and fragile to overflows.
Specifically, 'score_goal_diff_bp' calculation can overflow when 'score'
is high. The calculation is actually unnecessary at all because 'goal' is
a constant of value 10,000. Calculation of 'compensation' is again
fragile to overflow. Final calculation of return value for under-achiving
case is again fragile to overflow when the current score is
under-achieving the target.
Add two corner cases handling at the beginning of the function to make the
body easier to read, and rewrite the body of the function to avoid
overflows and the unnecessary bp value calcuation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
signal: restore the override_rlimit logic
Prior to commit d64696905554 ("Reimplement RLIMIT_SIGPENDING on top of
ucounts") UCOUNT_RLIMIT_SIGPENDING rlimit was not enforced for a class of
signals. However now it's enforced unconditionally, even if
override_rlimit is set. This behavior change caused production issues.
For example, if the limit is reached and a process receives a SIGSEGV
signal, sigqueue_alloc fails to allocate the necessary resources for the
signal delivery, preventing the signal from being delivered with siginfo.
This prevents the process from correctly identifying the fault address and
handling the error. From the user-space perspective, applications are
unaware that the limit has been reached and that the siginfo is
effectively 'corrupted'. This can lead to unpredictable behavior and
crashes, as we observed with java applications.
Fix this by passing override_rlimit into inc_rlimit_get_ucounts() and skip
the comparison to max there if override_rlimit is set. This effectively
restores the old behavior.
