In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211_hwsim: Fix possible NULL dereference
In a call to mac80211_hwsim_select_tx_link() the sta pointer might
be NULL, thus need to check that it is not NULL before accessing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: slab-out-of-bounds read in brcmf_get_assoc_ies()
Fix a slab-out-of-bounds read that occurs in kmemdup() called from
brcmf_get_assoc_ies().
The bug could occur when assoc_info->req_len, data from a URB provided
by a USB device, is bigger than the size of buffer which is defined as
WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX.
Add the size check for req_len/resp_len of assoc_info.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: clean up skbs if ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() fails
Syzkaller detected a memory leak of skbs in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream().
While processing skbs in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream(), the already allocated
skbs in skb_pool are not freed if ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() fails. If we
have an incorrect pkt_len or pkt_tag, the input skb is considered invalid
and dropped. All the associated packets already in skb_pool should be
dropped and freed. Added a comment describing this issue.
The patch also makes remain_skb NULL after being processed so that it
cannot be referenced after potential free. The initialization of hif_dev
fields which are associated with remain_skb (rx_remain_len,
rx_transfer_len and rx_pad_len) is moved after a new remain_skb is
allocated.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: jfs: fix shift-out-of-bounds in dbDiscardAG
This should be applied to most URSAN bugs found recently by syzbot,
by guarding the dbMount. As syzbot feeding rubbish into the bmap

According to commit "vfs: parse: deal with zero length string value",
kernel will set the param->string to null pointer in vfs_parse_fs_string()
if fs string has zero length.
Yet the problem is that, hugetlbfs_parse_param() will dereference the
param->string, without checking whether it is a null pointer. To be more
specific, if hugetlbfs_parse_param() parses an illegal mount parameter,
such as "size=,", kernel will constructs struct fs_parameter with null
pointer in vfs_parse_fs_string(), then passes this struct fs_parameter to
hugetlbfs_parse_param(), which triggers the above null-ptr-deref bug.
This patch solves it by adding sanity check on param->string
in hugetlbfs_parse_param().

In 'jbd2_fc_wait_bufs' use 'bh' after put buffer head reference count

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: Fix hung when signal interrupts nbd_start_device_ioctl()
syzbot reported hung task [1]. The following program is a simplified
version of the reproducer:
int main(void)
{
int sv[2], fd;
if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sv) < 0)
return 1;
if ((fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 0)) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, 0x81) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, sv[0]) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT) < 0)
return 1;
return 0;
}
When signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl() waiting the condition
atomic_read(&config->recv_threads) == 0, the task can hung because it
waits the completion of the inflight IOs.
This patch fixes the issue by clearing queue, not just shutdown, when
signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl().

This happens because sata_pmp_init_links() initialize link->pmp up to
SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS while em_priv is declared as 8 elements array.
I can't find the maximum Enclosure Management ports specified in AHCI
spec v1.3.1, but "12.2.1 LED message type" states that "Port Multiplier
Information" can utilize 4 bits, which implies it can support up to 16
ports. Hence, use SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS as EM_MAX_SLOTS to resolve the
issue.
