In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix i_disksize exceeding i_size problem in paritally written case
It is possible for i_disksize can exceed i_size, triggering a warning.
generic_perform_write
copied = iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(len) // copied < len
ext4_da_write_end
| ext4_update_i_disksize
| new_i_size = pos + copied;
| WRITE_ONCE(EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize, newsize) // update i_disksize
| generic_write_end
| copied = block_write_end(copied, len) // copied = 0
| if (unlikely(copied < len))
| if (!PageUptodate(page))
| copied = 0;
| if (pos + copied > inode->i_size) // return false
if (unlikely(copied == 0))
goto again;
if (unlikely(iov_iter_fault_in_readable(i, bytes))) {
status = -EFAULT;
break;
}
We get i_disksize greater than i_size here, which could trigger WARNING
check 'i_size_read(inode) < EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize' while doing dio:
ext4_dio_write_iter
iomap_dio_rw
__iomap_dio_rw // return err, length is not aligned to 512
ext4_handle_inode_extension

Fix it by updating 'copied' value before updating i_disksize just like
ext4_write_inline_data_end() does.
A reproducer can be found in the buganizer link below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cacheinfo: Fix shared_cpu_map to handle shared caches at different levels
The cacheinfo sets up the shared_cpu_map by checking whether the caches
with the same index are shared between CPUs. However, this will trigger
slab-out-of-bounds access if the CPUs do not have the same cache hierarchy.
Another problem is the mismatched shared_cpu_map when the shared cache does
not have the same index between CPUs.
CPU0 I D L3
index 0 1 2 x
^ ^ ^ ^
index 0 1 2 3
CPU1 I D L2 L3
This patch checks each cache is shared with all caches on other CPUs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pci: tw68: Fix null-ptr-deref bug in buf prepare and finish
When the driver calls tw68_risc_buffer() to prepare the buffer, the
function call dma_alloc_coherent may fail, resulting in a empty buffer
buf->cpu. Later when we free the buffer or access the buffer, null ptr
deref is triggered.
This bug is similar to the following one:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_stage.git/commit/?id=2b064d91440b33fba5b452f2d1b31f13ae911d71.
We believe the bug can be also dynamically triggered from user side.
Similarly, we fix this by checking the return value of tw68_risc_buffer()
and the value of buf->cpu before buffer free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: fix DFS traversal oops without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL
When compiled with CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL disabled, cifs_dfs_d_automount
is NULL. cifs.ko logic for mapping CIFS_FATTR_DFS_REFERRAL attributes to
S_AUTOMOUNT and corresponding dentry flags is retained regardless of
CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in
VFS follow_automount() when traversing a DFS referral link:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
...

This fix adds an inline cifs_dfs_d_automount() {return -EREMOTE} handler
when CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL is disabled. An alternative would be to
avoid flagging S_AUTOMOUNT, etc. without CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL. This
approach was chosen as it provides more control over the error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: set_page_extent_mapped after read_folio in btrfs_cont_expand
While trying to get the subpage blocksize tests running, I hit the
following panic on generic/476

This happens because during btrfs_cont_expand we'll get a page, set it
as mapped, and if it's not Uptodate we'll read it. However between the
read and re-locking the page we could have called release_folio() on the
page, but left the page in the file mapping. release_folio() can clear
the page private, and thus further down we blow up when we go to modify
the subpage bits.
Fix this by putting the set_page_extent_mapped() after the read. This
is safe because read_folio() will call set_page_extent_mapped() before
it does the read, and then if we clear page private but leave it on the
mapping we're completely safe re-setting set_page_extent_mapped(). With
this patch I can now run generic/476 without panicing.
