In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: ets: fix divide by zero in the offload path
Offloading ETS requires computing each class' WRR weight: this is done by
averaging over the sums of quanta as 'q_sum' and 'q_psum'. Using unsigned
int, the same integer size as the individual DRR quanta, can overflow and
even cause division by zero, like it happened in the following splat:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: radiotap: reject radiotap with unknown bits
The radiotap parser is currently only used with the radiotap
namespace (not with vendor namespaces), but if the undefined
field 18 is used, the alignment/size is unknown as well. In
this case, iterator->_next_ns_data isn't initialized (it's
only set for skipping vendor namespaces), and syzbot points
out that we later compare against this uninitialized value.
Fix this by moving the rejection of unknown radiotap fields
down to after the in-namespace lookup, so it will really use
iterator->_next_ns_data only for vendor namespaces, even in
case undefined fields are present.

net: phy: register phy led_triggers during probe to avoid AB-BA deadlock

[ 1362.232164] [<80014504>] syscall_common+0x34/0x58
Here LEDS_TRIGGER_NETDEV is being enabled on an LED. It first takes
triggers_list_lock and then RTNL. A classical AB-BA deadlock.
phy_led_triggers_registers() does not require the RTNL, it does not
make any calls into the network stack which require protection. There
is also no requirement the PHY has been attached to a MAC, the
triggers only make use of phydev state. This allows the call to
phy_led_triggers_registers() to be placed elsewhere. PHY probe() and
release() don't hold RTNL, so solving the AB-BA deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/deadline: Fix missing ENQUEUE_REPLENISH during PI de-boosting
Running stress-ng --schedpolicy 0 on an RT kernel on a big machine
might lead to the following WARNINGs (edited).
sched: DL de-boosted task PID 22725: REPLENISH flag missing
WARNING: CPU: 93 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:239 dequeue_task_dl+0x15c/0x1f8

The problem is that when a SCHED_DEADLINE task (lock holder) is
changed to a lower priority class via sched_setscheduler(), it may
fail to properly inherit the parameters of potential DEADLINE donors
if it didn't already inherit them in the past (shorter deadline than
donor's at that time). This might lead to bandwidth accounting
corruption, as enqueue_task_dl() won't recognize the lock holder as
boosted.
The scenario occurs when:
1. A DEADLINE task (donor) blocks on a PI mutex held by another
DEADLINE task (holder), but the holder doesn't inherit parameters
(e.g., it already has a shorter deadline)
2. sched_setscheduler() changes the holder from DEADLINE to a lower
class while still holding the mutex
3. The holder should now inherit DEADLINE parameters from the donor
and be enqueued with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH, but this doesn't happen
Fix the issue by introducing __setscheduler_dl_pi(), which detects when
a DEADLINE (proper or boosted) task gets setscheduled to a lower
priority class. In case, the function makes the task inherit DEADLINE
parameters of the donoer (pi_se) and sets ENQUEUE_REPLENISH flag to
ensure proper bandwidth accounting during the next enqueue operation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: rawsock: cancel tx_work before socket teardown
In rawsock_release(), cancel any pending tx_work and purge the write
queue before orphaning the socket. rawsock_tx_work runs on the system
workqueue and calls nfc_data_exchange which dereferences the NCI
device. Without synchronization, tx_work can race with socket and
device teardown when a process is killed (e.g. by SIGKILL), leading
to use-after-free or leaked references.
Set SEND_SHUTDOWN first so that if tx_work is already running it will
see the flag and skip transmitting, then use cancel_work_sync to wait
for any in-progress execution to finish, and finally purge any
remaining queued skbs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: dwc: ep: Flush MSI-X write before unmapping its ATU entry
Endpoint drivers use dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() to raise an MSI-X
interrupt to the host using a writel(), which generates a PCI posted write
transaction. There's no completion for posted writes, so the writel() may
return before the PCI write completes. dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() also
unmaps the outbound ATU entry used for the PCI write, so the write races
with the unmap.
If the PCI write loses the race with the ATU unmap, the write may corrupt
host memory or cause IOMMU errors, e.g., these when running fio with a
larger queue depth against nvmet-pci-epf:
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x0000010000000010
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x0000020000000000
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x000000090000f040
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x0000000000000000
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: event: F_TRANSLATION client: 0000:01:00.0 sid: 0x100 ssid: 0x0 iova: 0x90000f040 ipa: 0x0
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: unpriv data write s1 "Input address caused fault" stag: 0x0
Flush the write by performing a readl() of the same address to ensure that
the write has reached the destination before the ATU entry is unmapped.
The same problem was solved for dw_pcie_ep_raise_msi_irq() in commit
8719c64e76bf ("PCI: dwc: ep: Cache MSI outbound iATU mapping"), but there
it was solved by dedicating an outbound iATU only for MSI. We can't do the
same for MSI-X because each vector can have a different msg_addr and the
msg_addr may be changed while the vector is masked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: kalmia: validate USB endpoints
The kalmia driver should validate that the device it is probing has the
proper number and types of USB endpoints it is expecting before it binds
to it. If a malicious device were to not have the same urbs the driver
will crash later on when it blindly accesses these endpoints.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drbd: fix "LOGIC BUG" in drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock()
Even though we check that we "should" be able to do lc_get_cumulative()
while holding the device->al_lock spinlock, it may still fail,
if some other code path decided to do lc_try_lock() with bad timing.
If that happened, we logged "LOGIC BUG for enr=...",
but still did not return an error.
The rest of the code now assumed that this request has references
for the relevant activity log extents.
The implcations are that during an active resync, mutual exclusivity of
resync versus application IO is not guaranteed. And a potential crash
at this point may not realizs that these extents could have been target
of in-flight IO and would need to be resynced just in case.
Also, once the request completes, it will give up activity log references it
does not even hold, which will trigger a BUG_ON(refcnt == 0) in lc_put().
Fix:
Do not crash the kernel for a condition that is harmless during normal
operation: also catch "e->refcnt == 0", not only "e == NULL"
when being noisy about "al_complete_io() called on inactive extent %u\n".
And do not try to be smart and "guess" whether something will work, then
be surprised when it does not.
Deal with the fact that it may or may not work. If it does not, remember a
possible "partially in activity log" state (only possible for requests that
cross extent boundaries), and return an error code from
drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock().
A latter call for the same request will then resume from where we left off.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: mcp251x: fix deadlock in error path of mcp251x_open
The mcp251x_open() function call free_irq() in its error path with the
mpc_lock mutex held. But if an interrupt already occurred the
interrupt handler will be waiting for the mpc_lock and free_irq() will
deadlock waiting for the handler to finish.
This issue is similar to the one fixed in commit 7dd9c26bd6cf ("can:
mcp251x: fix deadlock if an interrupt occurs during mcp251x_open") but
for the error path.
To solve this issue move the call to free_irq() after the lock is
released. Setting `priv->force_quit = 1` beforehand ensure that the IRQ
handler will exit right away once it acquired the lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: split gc into unlink and reclaim phase
Yiming Qian reports Use-after-free in the pipapo set type:
Under a large number of expired elements, commit-time GC can run for a very
long time in a non-preemptible context, triggering soft lockup warnings and
RCU stall reports (local denial of service).
We must split GC in an unlink and a reclaim phase.
We cannot queue elements for freeing until pointers have been swapped.
Expired elements are still exposed to both the packet path and userspace
dumpers via the live copy of the data structure.
call_rcu() does not protect us: dump operations or element lookups starting
after call_rcu has fired can still observe the free'd element, unless the
commit phase has made enough progress to swap the clone and live pointers
before any new reader has picked up the old version.
This a similar approach as done recently for the rbtree backend in commit
35f83a75529a ("netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: don't gc elements on insert").
