In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in smb_break_all_levII_oplock()
There is a room in smb_break_all_levII_oplock that can cause racy issues
when unlocking in the middle of the loop. This patch use read lock
to protect whole loop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in __smb2_lease_break_noti()
Move tcp_transport free to ksmbd_conn_free. If ksmbd connection is
referenced when ksmbd server thread terminates, It will not be freed,
but conn->tcp_transport is freed. __smb2_lease_break_noti can be performed
asynchronously when the connection is disconnected. __smb2_lease_break_noti
calls ksmbd_conn_write, which can cause use-after-free
when conn->ksmbd_transport is already freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: Fix dangling pointer in krb_authenticate
krb_authenticate frees sess->user and does not set the pointer
to NULL. It calls ksmbd_krb5_authenticate to reinitialise
sess->user but that function may return without doing so. If
that happens then smb2_sess_setup, which calls krb_authenticate,
will be accessing free'd memory when it later uses sess->user.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: Prevent the use of too small fid
syzbot reported a slab-out-of-bounds Read in isofs_fh_to_parent. [1]
The handle_bytes value passed in by the reproducing program is equal to 12.
In handle_to_path(), only 12 bytes of memory are allocated for the structure
file_handle->f_handle member, which causes an out-of-bounds access when
accessing the member parent_block of the structure isofs_fid in isofs,
because accessing parent_block requires at least 16 bytes of f_handle.
Here, fh_len is used to indirectly confirm that the value of handle_bytes
is greater than 3 before accessing parent_block.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cma: Fix workqueue crash in cma_netevent_work_handler
struct rdma_cm_id has member "struct work_struct net_work"
that is reused for enqueuing cma_netevent_work_handler()s
onto cma_wq.
Below crash[1] can occur if more than one call to
cma_netevent_callback() occurs in quick succession,
which further enqueues cma_netevent_work_handler()s for the
same rdma_cm_id, overwriting any previously queued work-item(s)
that was just scheduled to run i.e. there is no guarantee
the queued work item may run between two successive calls
to cma_netevent_callback() and the 2nd INIT_WORK would overwrite
the 1st work item (for the same rdma_cm_id), despite grabbing
id_table_lock during enqueue.
Also drgn analysis [2] indicates the work item was likely overwritten.
Fix this by moving the INIT_WORK() to __rdma_create_id(),
so that it doesn't race with any existing queue_work() or
its worker thread.

},
.func = (work_func_t)cma_netevent_work_handler+0x0 = 0xffffffffc2cec280,
}
Suspicion is that pwq is NULL:
>>> trace[8]["pwq"]
(struct pool_workqueue *)<absent>
In process_one_work(), pwq is assigned from:
struct pool_workqueue *pwq = get_work_pwq(work);
and get_work_pwq() is:
static struct pool_workqueue *get_work_pwq(struct work_struct *work)
{
unsigned long data = atomic_long_read(&work->data);
if (data & WORK_STRUCT_PWQ)
return work_struct_pwq(data);
else
return NULL;
}
WORK_STRUCT_PWQ is 0x4:
>>> print(repr(prog['WORK_STRUCT_PWQ']))
Object(prog, 'enum work_flags', value=4)
But work->data is 536870912 which is 0x20000000.
So, get_work_pwq() returns NULL and we crash in process_one_work():
3168 strscpy(worker->desc, pwq->wq->name, WORKER_DESC_LEN);

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtiofs: add filesystem context source name check
In certain scenarios, for example, during fuzz testing, the source
name may be NULL, which could lead to a kernel panic. Therefore, an
extra check for the source name should be added.
