In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io-wq: check for wq exit after adding new worker task_work
We check IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT before attempting to create a new worker, and
wq exit cancels pending work if we have any. But it's possible to have
a race between the two, where creation checks exit finding it not set,
but we're in the process of exiting. The exit side will cancel pending
creation task_work, but there's a gap where we add task_work after we've
canceled existing creations at exit time.
Fix this by checking the EXIT bit post adding the creation task_work.
If it's set, run the same cancelation that exit does.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_debug: Don't call kcalloc() if size arg is zero
If the size arg to kcalloc() is zero, it returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Because of
that, for a following NULL pointer check to work on the returned pointer,
kcalloc() must not be called with the size arg equal to zero. Return early
without error before the kcalloc() call if size arg is zero.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovl: fix warning in ovl_create_real()
Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() ->
ovl_create_real():
if (!err && WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) {
The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without
instantiating the new dentry.
Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later
stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real()
directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.
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:

The line numbers are related to commit dd5a440a31fa ("Linux 6.9-rc7").
Commit e1d09c2c2f57 ("af_unix: Fix data races around sk->sk_shutdown.")
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
