In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: core: Fix duplicate endpoint bug by clearing reserved bits in the descriptor
Syzbot has identified a bug in usbcore (see the Closes: tag below)
caused by our assumption that the reserved bits in an endpoint
descriptor's bEndpointAddress field will always be 0. As a result of
the bug, the endpoint_is_duplicate() routine in config.c (and possibly
other routines as well) may believe that two descriptors are for
distinct endpoints, even though they have the same direction and
endpoint number. This can lead to confusion, including the bug
identified by syzbot (two descriptors with matching endpoint numbers
and directions, where one was interrupt and the other was bulk).
To fix the bug, we will clear the reserved bits in bEndpointAddress
when we parse the descriptor. (Note that both the USB-2.0 and USB-3.1
specs say these bits are "Reserved, reset to zero".) This requires us
to make a copy of the descriptor earlier in usb_parse_endpoint() and
use the copy instead of the original when checking for duplicates.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed packets
Since 'ppp_async_encode()' assumes valid LCP packets (with code
from 1 to 7 inclusive), add 'ppp_check_packet()' to ensure that
LCP packet has an actual body beyond PPP_LCP header bytes, and
reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed data otherwise.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix double free in detach
The number of the currently released descriptor is never incremented
which results in the same skb being released multiple times.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel bug on rename operation of broken directory
Syzbot reported that in rename directory operation on broken directory on
nilfs2, __block_write_begin_int() called to prepare block write may fail
BUG_ON check for access exceeding the folio/page size.
This is because nilfs_dotdot(), which gets parent directory reference
entry ("..") of the directory to be moved or renamed, does not check
consistency enough, and may return location exceeding folio/page size for
broken directories.
Fix this issue by checking required directory entries ("." and "..") in
the first chunk of the directory in nilfs_dotdot().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filelock: Fix fcntl/close race recovery compat path
When I wrote commit 3cad1bc01041 ("filelock: Remove locks reliably when
fcntl/close race is detected"), I missed that there are two copies of the
code I was patching: The normal version, and the version for 64-bit offsets
on 32-bit kernels.
Thanks to Greg KH for stumbling over this while doing the stable
backport...
Apply exactly the same fix to the compat path for 32-bit kernels.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: add bounds checking to ocfs2_check_dir_entry()
This adds sanity checks for ocfs2_dir_entry to make sure all members of
ocfs2_dir_entry don't stray beyond valid memory region.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: strict bound check before memcmp in ocfs2_xattr_find_entry()
xattr in ocfs2 maybe 'non-indexed', which saved with additional space
requested. It's better to check if the memory is out of bound before
memcmp, although this possibility mainly comes from crafted poisonous
images.
