In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid OOB when system.data xattr changes underneath the filesystem
When looking up for an entry in an inlined directory, if e_value_offs is
changed underneath the filesystem by some change in the block device, it
will lead to an out-of-bounds access that KASAN detects as an UAF.
EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 r/w without journal. Quota mode: none.
loop0: detected capacity change from 2048 to 2047

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check link_res->hpo_dp_link_enc before using it
[WHAT & HOW]
Functions dp_enable_link_phy and dp_disable_link_phy can pass link_res
without initializing hpo_dp_link_enc and it is necessary to check for
null before dereferencing.
This fixes 2 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfs: fix race between evice_inodes() and find_inode()&iput()
Hi, all
Recently I noticed a bug[1] in btrfs, after digged it into
and I believe it'a race in vfs.
Let's assume there's a inode (ie ino 261) with i_count 1 is
called by iput(), and there's a concurrent thread calling
generic_shutdown_super().
cpu0: cpu1:
iput() // i_count is 1
->spin_lock(inode)
->dec i_count to 0
->iput_final() generic_shutdown_super()
->__inode_add_lru() ->evict_inodes()
// cause some reason[2] ->if (atomic_read(inode->i_count)) continue;
// return before // inode 261 passed the above check
// list_lru_add_obj() // and then schedule out
->spin_unlock()
// note here: the inode 261
// was still at sb list and hash list,
// and I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE was not been set
btrfs_iget()
// after some function calls
->find_inode()
// found the above inode 261
->spin_lock(inode)
// check I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE
// and passed
->__iget()
->spin_unlock(inode) // schedule back
->spin_lock(inode)
// check (I_NEW|I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE) flags,
// passed and set I_FREEING
iput() ->spin_unlock(inode)
->spin_lock(inode) ->evict()
// dec i_count to 0
->iput_final()
->spin_unlock()
->evict()
Now, we have two threads simultaneously evicting
the same inode, which may trigger the BUG(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR)
statement both within clear_inode() and iput().
To fix the bug, recheck the inode->i_count after holding i_lock.
Because in the most scenarios, the first check is valid, and
the overhead of spin_lock() can be reduced.
If there is any misunderstanding, please let me know, thanks.

[2]: The reason might be 1. SB_ACTIVE was removed or 2. mapping_shrinkable()
return false when I reproduced the bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: avoid leaving partial pfn mappings around in error case
As Jann points out, PFN mappings are special, because unlike normal
memory mappings, there is no lifetime information associated with the
mapping - it is just a raw mapping of PFNs with no reference counting of
a 'struct page'.
That's all very much intentional, but it does mean that it's easy to
mess up the cleanup in case of errors. Yes, a failed mmap() will always
eventually clean up any partial mappings, but without any explicit
lifetime in the page table mapping itself, it's very easy to do the
error handling in the wrong order.
In particular, it's easy to mistakenly free the physical backing store
before the page tables are actually cleaned up and (temporarily) have
stale dangling PTE entries.
To make this situation less error-prone, just make sure that any partial
pfn mapping is torn down early, before any other error handling.

[WHAT & HOW]
dmub_rb_cmd's ramping_boundary has size of uint8_t and it is assigned
0xFFFF. Fix it by changing it to uint8_t with value of 0xFF.

drm/amd/display: Remove register from DCN35 DMCUB diagnostic collection
[Why]
These registers should not be read from driver and triggering the
security violation when DMCUB work times out and diagnostics are
collected blocks Z8 entry.
[How]
Remove the register read from DCN35.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: iio: frequency: ad9834: Validate frequency parameter value
In ad9834_write_frequency() clk_get_rate() can return 0. In such case
ad9834_calc_freqreg() call will lead to division by zero. Checking
'if (fout > (clk_freq / 2))' doesn't protect in case of 'fout' is 0.
ad9834_write_frequency() is called from ad9834_write(), where fout is
taken from text buffer, which can contain any value.
Modify parameters checking.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: hisi-kunpeng: Add verification for the max_frequency provided by the firmware
If the value of max_speed_hz is 0, it may cause a division by zero
error in hisi_calc_effective_speed().
The value of max_speed_hz is provided by firmware.
Firmware is generally considered as a trusted domain. However, as
division by zero errors can cause system failure, for defense measure,
the value of max_speed is validated here. So 0 is regarded as invalid
and an error code is returned.
