The KMSAN warning is triggered in decode_getfattr_attrs(), when calling
decode_attr_mdsthreshold(). It appears that fattr->mdsthreshold is not
initialized.
Fix the issue by initializing fattr->mdsthreshold to NULL in
nfs_fattr_init().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Start the RTC update work later
The RTC update work involves runtime resuming the UFS controller. Hence,
only start the RTC update work after runtime power management in the UFS
driver has been fully initialized. This patch fixes the following kernel
crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Fix slab-use-after-free in scmi_bus_notifier()
The scmi_dev->name is released prematurely in __scmi_device_destroy(),
which causes slab-use-after-free when accessing scmi_dev->name in
scmi_bus_notifier(). So move the release of scmi_dev->name to
scmi_device_release() to avoid slab-use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: qcom: scm: fix a NULL-pointer dereference
Some SCM calls can be invoked with __scm being NULL (the driver may not
have been and will not be probed as there's no SCM entry in device-tree).
Make sure we don't dereference a NULL pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: fix fault at system suspend if device was already runtime suspended
If the device was already runtime suspended then during system suspend
we cannot access the device registers else it will crash.
Also we cannot access any registers after dwc3_core_exit() on some
platforms so move the dwc3_enable_susphy() call to the top.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: Be stricter about IO mapping flags
The current panthor_device_mmap_io() implementation has two issues:
1. For mapping DRM_PANTHOR_USER_FLUSH_ID_MMIO_OFFSET,
panthor_device_mmap_io() bails if VM_WRITE is set, but does not clear
VM_MAYWRITE. That means userspace can use mprotect() to make the mapping
writable later on. This is a classic Linux driver gotcha.
I don't think this actually has any impact in practice:
When the GPU is powered, writes to the FLUSH_ID seem to be ignored; and
when the GPU is not powered, the dummy_latest_flush page provided by the
driver is deliberately designed to not do any flushes, so the only thing
writing to the dummy_latest_flush could achieve would be to make *more*
flushes happen.
2. panthor_device_mmap_io() does not block MAP_PRIVATE mappings (which are
mappings without the VM_SHARED flag).
MAP_PRIVATE in combination with VM_MAYWRITE indicates that the VMA has
copy-on-write semantics, which for VM_PFNMAP are semi-supported but
fairly cursed.
In particular, in such a mapping, the driver can only install PTEs
during mmap() by calling remap_pfn_range() (because remap_pfn_range()
wants to **store the physical address of the mapped physical memory into
the vm_pgoff of the VMA**); installing PTEs later on with a fault
handler (as panthor does) is not supported in private mappings, and so
if you try to fault in such a mapping, vmf_insert_pfn_prot() splats when
it hits a BUG() check.
Fix it by clearing the VM_MAYWRITE flag (userspace writing to the FLUSH_ID
doesn't make sense) and requiring VM_SHARED (copy-on-write semantics for
the FLUSH_ID don't make sense).
Reproducers for both scenarios are in the notes of my patch on the mailing
list; I tested that these bugs exist on a Rock 5B machine.
Note that I only compile-tested the patch, I haven't tested it; I don't
have a working kernel build setup for the test machine yet. Please test it
before applying it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86/amd/pmc: Detect when STB is not available
Loading the amd_pmc module as:
amd_pmc enable_stb=1
...can result in the following messages in the kernel ring buffer:
amd_pmc AMDI0009:00: SMU cmd failed. err: 0xff
ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000000000000 - 0x0000000000ffffff
WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 2151 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:217 __ioremap_caller+0x2cd/0x340
Further debugging reveals that this occurs when the requests for
S2D_PHYS_ADDR_LOW and S2D_PHYS_ADDR_HIGH return a value of 0,
indicating that the STB is inaccessible. To prevent the ioremap
warning and provide clarity to the user, handle the invalid address
and display an error message.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Never decrement pending_async_copies on error
The error flow in nfsd4_copy() calls cleanup_async_copy(), which
already decrements nn->pending_async_copies.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: init: protect sched with rcu_read_lock
Enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST with its dependence CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT
creates this splat when an MPTCP socket is created:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

net/mptcp/sched.c:44 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by mptcp_connect/176.

That's because when the socket is initialised, rcu_read_lock() is not
used despite the explicit comment written above the declaration of
mptcp_sched_find() in sched.c. Adding the missing lock/unlock avoids the
warning.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix crash on probe for DPLL enabled E810 LOM
The E810 Lan On Motherboard (LOM) design is vendor specific. Intel
provides the reference design, but it is up to vendor on the final
product design. For some cases, like Linux DPLL support, the static
values defined in the driver does not reflect the actual LOM design.
Current implementation of dpll pins is causing the crash on probe
of the ice driver for such DPLL enabled E810 LOM designs:
WARNING: (...) at drivers/dpll/dpll_core.c:495 dpll_pin_get+0x2c4/0x330

...
The number of dpll pins enabled by LOM vendor is greater than expected
and defined in the driver for Intel designed NICs, which causes the crash.
Prevent the crash and allow generic pin initialization within Linux DPLL
subsystem for DPLL enabled E810 LOM designs.
Newly designed solution for described issue will be based on "per HW
design" pin initialization. It requires pin information dynamically
acquired from the firmware and is already in progress, planned for
next-tree only.
