In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_debug: Fix type in min_t to avoid stack OOB
Change min_t() to use type "u32" instead of type "int" to avoid stack out
of bounds. With min_t() type "int" the values get sign extended and the
larger value gets used causing stack out of bounds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: core: Make do_proc_control() and do_proc_bulk() killable
The USBDEVFS_CONTROL and USBDEVFS_BULK ioctls invoke
usb_start_wait_urb(), which contains an uninterruptible wait with a
user-specified timeout value. If timeout value is very large and the
device being accessed does not respond in a reasonable amount of time,
the kernel will complain about "Task X blocked for more than N
seconds", as found in testing by syzbot:
INFO: task syz-executor.0:8700 blocked for more than 143 seconds.
Not tainted 5.14.0-rc7-syzkaller #0
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

To fix this problem, this patch replaces usbfs's calls to
usb_control_msg() and usb_bulk_msg() with special-purpose code that
does essentially the same thing (as recommended in the comment for
usb_start_wait_urb()), except that it always uses a killable wait and
it uses GFP_KERNEL rather than GFP_NOIO.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: Set lower bound of start tick time
Currently ALSA timer doesn't have the lower limit of the start tick
time, and it allows a very small size, e.g. 1 tick with 1ns resolution
for hrtimer. Such a situation may lead to an unexpected RCU stall,
where the callback repeatedly queuing the expire update, as reported
by fuzzer.
This patch introduces a sanity check of the timer start tick time, so
that the system returns an error when a too small start size is set.
As of this patch, the lower limit is hard-coded to 100us, which is
small enough but can still work somehow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macintosh/via-macii: Fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context"
The via-macii ADB driver calls request_irq() after disabling hard
interrupts. But disabling interrupts isn't necessary here because the
VIA shift register interrupt was masked during VIA1 initialization.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix data races in unix_release_sock/unix_stream_sendmsg
A data-race condition has been identified in af_unix. In one data path,
the write function unix_release_sock() atomically writes to
sk->sk_shutdown using WRITE_ONCE. However, on the reader side,
unix_stream_sendmsg() does not read it atomically. Consequently, this
issue is causing the following KCSAN splat to occur:

addressed a comparable issue in the past regarding sk->sk_shutdown.
However, it overlooked resolving this particular data path.
This patch only offending unix_stream_sendmsg() function, since the
other reads seem to be protected by unix_state_lock() as discussed in

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: prevent xattr node from overflowing the eraseblock
Add a check to make sure that the requested xattr node size is no larger
than the eraseblock minus the cleanmarker.
Unlike the usual inode nodes, the xattr nodes aren't split into parts
and spread across multiple eraseblocks, which means that a xattr node
must not occupy more than one eraseblock. If the requested xattr value is
too large, the xattr node can spill onto the next eraseblock, overwriting
the nodes and causing errors such as:
jffs2: argh. node added in wrong place at 0x0000b050(2)
jffs2: nextblock 0x0000a000, expected at 0000b00c
jffs2: error: (823) do_verify_xattr_datum: node CRC failed at 0x01e050,

jffs2: Node at 0x0000000c with length 0x00001044 would run over the
end of the erase block
jffs2: Perhaps the file system was created with the wrong erase size?
jffs2: jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found
at 0x00000010: 0x1044 instead
This breaks the filesystem and can lead to KASAN crashes such as:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: Fix deadlocks with kctl removals at disconnection
In snd_card_disconnect(), we set card->shutdown flag at the beginning,
call callbacks and do sync for card->power_ref_sleep waiters at the
end. The callback may delete a kctl element, and this can lead to a
deadlock when the device was in the suspended state. Namely:
* A process waits for the power up at snd_power_ref_and_wait() in
snd_ctl_info() or read/write() inside card->controls_rwsem.
* The system gets disconnected meanwhile, and the driver tries to
delete a kctl via snd_ctl_remove*(); it tries to take
card->controls_rwsem again, but this is already locked by the
above. Since the sleeper isn't woken up, this deadlocks.
An easy fix is to wake up sleepers before processing the driver
disconnect callbacks but right after setting the card->shutdown flag.
Then all sleepers will abort immediately, and the code flows again.
So, basically this patch moves the wait_event() call at the right
timing. While we're at it, just to be sure, call wait_event_all()
instead of wait_event(), although we don't use exclusive events on
this queue for now.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
epoll: be better about file lifetimes
epoll can call out to vfs_poll() with a file pointer that may race with
the last 'fput()'. That would make f_count go down to zero, and while
the ep->mtx locking means that the resulting file pointer tear-down will
be blocked until the poll returns, it means that f_count is already
dead, and any use of it won't actually get a reference to the file any
more: it's dead regardless.
Make sure we have a valid ref on the file pointer before we call down to
vfs_poll() from the epoll routines.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer()
Syzbot has reported a potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() called
during nilfs2 unmount.
Analysis revealed that this is because nilfs_segctor_sync(), which
synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after
nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace
below:
nilfs_detach_log_writer
nilfs_segctor_destroy
nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Shut down log writer thread
flush_work
nilfs_iput_work_func
nilfs_dispose_list
iput
nilfs_evict_inode
nilfs_transaction_commit
nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync)
nilfs_segctor_sync --> Attempt to synchronize with
log writer thread
*** DEADLOCK ***
Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log writer
thread returns normally without synchronizing after it terminates, and by
forcing tasks that are already waiting to complete once after the thread
terminates.
The skipped inode metadata flushout will then be processed together in the
subsequent cleanup work in nilfs_segctor_destroy().
