In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/l2tp: fix warning in l2tp_exit_net found by syzbot
In l2tp's net exit handler, we check that an IDR is empty before
destroying it:
WARN_ON_ONCE(!idr_is_empty(&pn->l2tp_tunnel_idr));
idr_destroy(&pn->l2tp_tunnel_idr);
By forcing memory allocation failures in idr_alloc_32, syzbot is able
to provoke a condition where idr_is_empty returns false despite there
being no items in the IDR. This turns out to be because the radix tree
of the IDR contains only internal radix-tree nodes and it is this that
causes idr_is_empty to return false. The internal nodes are cleaned by
idr_destroy.
Use idr_for_each to check that the IDR is empty instead of
idr_is_empty to avoid the problem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: fix false positive warning in extack during dumps
Commit under fixes extended extack reporting to dumps.
It works under normal conditions, because extack errors are
usually reported during ->start() or the first ->dump(),
it's quite rare that the dump starts okay but fails later.
If the dump does fail later, however, the input skb will
already have the initiating message pulled, so checking
if bad attr falls within skb->data will fail.
Switch the check to using nlh, which is always valid.
syzbot found a way to hit that scenario by filling up
the receive queue. In this case we initiate a dump
but don't call ->dump() until there is read space for
an skb.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: lan78xx: Fix double free issue with interrupt buffer allocation
In lan78xx_probe(), the buffer `buf` was being freed twice: once
implicitly through `usb_free_urb(dev->urb_intr)` with the
`URB_FREE_BUFFER` flag and again explicitly by `kfree(buf)`. This caused
a double free issue.
To resolve this, reordered `kmalloc()` and `usb_alloc_urb()` calls to
simplify the initialization sequence and removed the redundant
`kfree(buf)`. Now, `buf` is allocated after `usb_alloc_urb()`, ensuring
it is correctly managed by `usb_fill_int_urb()` and freed by
`usb_free_urb()` as intended.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/pci: Properly hide first-in-list PCIe extended capability
There are cases where a PCIe extended capability should be hidden from
the user. For example, an unknown capability (i.e., capability with ID
greater than PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX) or a capability that is intentionally
chosen to be hidden from the user.
Hiding a capability is done by virtualizing and modifying the 'Next
Capability Offset' field of the previous capability so it points to the
capability after the one that should be hidden.
The special case where the first capability in the list should be hidden
is handled differently because there is no previous capability that can
be modified. In this case, the capability ID and version are zeroed
while leaving the next pointer intact. This hides the capability and
leaves an anchor for the rest of the capability list.
However, today, hiding the first capability in the list is not done
properly if the capability is unknown, as struct
vfio_pci_core_device->pci_config_map is set to the capability ID during
initialization but the capability ID is not properly checked later when
used in vfio_config_do_rw(). This leads to the following warning [1] and
to an out-of-bounds access to ecap_perms array.
Fix it by checking cap_id in vfio_config_do_rw(), and if it is greater
than PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX, use an alternative struct perm_bits for direct
read only access instead of the ecap_perms array.
Note that this is safe since the above is the only case where cap_id can
exceed PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX (except for the special capabilities, which
are already checked before).

If register_sysctl() return NULL, then svc_rdma_proc_cleanup() will not
destroy the percpu counters which init in svc_rdma_proc_init().
If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, residual nodes may be in the
'percpu_counters' list. The above issue may occur once the module is
removed. If the CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU configuration is not enabled, memory
leakage occurs.
To solve above issue just destroy all percpu counters when
register_sysctl() return NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: release svc_expkey/svc_export with rcu_work
The last reference for `cache_head` can be reduced to zero in `c_show`
and `e_show`(using `rcu_read_lock` and `rcu_read_unlock`). Consequently,
`svc_export_put` and `expkey_put` will be invoked, leading to two
issues:
1. The `svc_export_put` will directly free ex_uuid. However,
`e_show`/`c_show` will access `ex_uuid` after `cache_put`, which can
trigger a use-after-free issue, shown below.

Fix these issues by using `rcu_work` to help release
`svc_expkey`/`svc_export`. This approach allows for an asynchronous
context to invoke `path_put` and also facilitates the freeing of
`uuid/exp/key` after an RCU grace period.

The warning is triggered as follows:
1) syscall finit_module() handles the module insertion and it invokes
kernel_read_file() to read the content of the module first.
2) kernel_read_file() allocates a 10MB buffer by using vmalloc() and
passes it to kernel_read(). kernel_read() constructs a kvec iter by
using iov_iter_kvec() and passes it to fuse_file_read_iter().
3) virtio-fs disables the cache, so fuse_file_read_iter() invokes
fuse_direct_io(). As for now, the maximal read size for kvec iter is
only limited by fc->max_read. For virtio-fs, max_read is UINT_MAX, so
fuse_direct_io() doesn't split the 10MB buffer. It saves the address and
the size of the 10MB-sized buffer in out_args[0] of a fuse request and
passes the fuse request to virtio_fs_wake_pending_and_unlock().
4) virtio_fs_wake_pending_and_unlock() uses virtio_fs_enqueue_req() to
queue the request. Because virtiofs need DMA-able address, so
virtio_fs_enqueue_req() uses kmalloc() to allocate a bounce buffer for
all fuse args, copies these args into the bounce buffer and passed the
physical address of the bounce buffer to virtiofsd. The total length of
these fuse args for the passed fuse request is about 10MB, so
copy_args_to_argbuf() invokes kmalloc() with a 10MB size parameter and
it triggers the warning in __alloc_pages():
if (WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER, gfp))
return NULL;
5) virtio_fs_enqueue_req() will retry the memory allocation in a
kworker, but it won't help, because kmalloc() will always return NULL
due to the abnormal size and finit_module() will hang forever.
A feasible solution is to limit the value of max_read for virtio-fs, so
the length passed to kmalloc() will be limited. However it will affect
the maximal read size for normal read. And for virtio-fs write initiated
from kernel, it has the similar problem but now there is no way to limit
fc->max_write in kernel.
So instead of limiting both the values of max_read and max_write in
kernel, introducing use_pages_for_kvec_io in fuse_conn and setting it as
true in virtiofs. When use_pages_for_kvec_io is enabled, fuse will use
pages instead of pointer to pass the KVEC_IO data.
After switching to pages for KVEC_IO data, these pages will be used for
DMA through virtio-fs. If these pages are backed by vmalloc(),
{flush|invalidate}_kernel_vmap_range() are necessary to flush or
invalidate the cache before the DMA operation. So add two new fields in
fuse_args_pages to record the base address of vmalloc area and the
condition indicating whether invalidation is needed. Perform the flush
in fuse_get_user_pages() for write operations and the invalidation in
fuse_release_user_pages() for read operations.
It may seem necessary to introduce another fie
