There is no real problem for normal IOPOLL as flush is also called with
uring_lock taken, but it's getting more complicated for IOPOLL|SQPOLL,
for which __io_cqring_overflow_flush() happens from the CQ waiting path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: pn533: Wait for out_urb's completion in pn533_usb_send_frame()
Fix a use-after-free that occurs in hcd when in_urb sent from
pn533_usb_send_frame() is completed earlier than out_urb. Its callback
frees the skb data in pn533_send_async_complete() that is used as a
transfer buffer of out_urb. Wait before sending in_urb until the
callback of out_urb is called. To modify the callback of out_urb alone,
separate the complete function of out_urb and ack_urb.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: da9211: Use irq handler when ready
If the system does not come from reset (like when it is kexec()), the
regulator might have an IRQ waiting for us.
If we enable the IRQ handler before its structures are ready, we crash.
This patch fixes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/gt: Cleanup partial engine discovery failures
If we abort driver initialisation in the middle of gt/engine discovery,
some engines will be fully setup and some not. Those incompletely setup
engines only have 'engine->release == NULL' and so will leak any of the
common objects allocated.
v2:
- Drop the destroy_pinned_context() helper for now. It's not really
worth it with just a single callsite at the moment. (Janusz)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gsmi: fix null-deref in gsmi_get_variable
We can get EFI variables without fetching the attribute, so we must
allow for that in gsmi.
commit 859748255b43 ("efi: pstore: Omit efivars caching EFI varstore
access layer") added a new get_variable call with attr=NULL, which
triggers panic in gsmi.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ncm: fix potential NULL ptr deref in ncm_bitrate()
In Google internal bug 265639009 we've received an (as yet) unreproducible
crash report from an aarch64 GKI 5.10.149-android13 running device.
AFAICT the source code is at:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/refs/tags/ASB-2022-12-05_13-5.10
The call stack is:
ncm_close() -> ncm_notify() -> ncm_do_notify()
with the crash at:
ncm_do_notify+0x98/0x270
Code: 79000d0b b9000a6c f940012a f9400269 (b9405d4b)
Which I believe disassembles to (I don't know ARM assembly, but it looks sane enough to me...):
// halfword (16-bit) store presumably to event->wLength (at offset 6 of struct usb_cdc_notification)
0B 0D 00 79 strh w11, [x8, #6]
// word (32-bit) store presumably to req->Length (at offset 8 of struct usb_request)
6C 0A 00 B9 str w12, [x19, #8]
// x10 (NULL) was read here from offset 0 of valid pointer x9
// IMHO we're reading 'cdev->gadget' and getting NULL
// gadget is indeed at offset 0 of struct usb_composite_dev
2A 01 40 F9 ldr x10, [x9]
// loading req->buf pointer, which is at offset 0 of struct usb_request
69 02 40 F9 ldr x9, [x19]
// x10 is null, crash, appears to be attempt to read cdev->gadget->max_speed
4B 5D 40 B9 ldr w11, [x10, #0x5c]
which seems to line up with ncm_do_notify() case NCM_NOTIFY_SPEED code fragment:
event->wLength = cpu_to_le16(8);
req->length = NCM_STATUS_BYTECOUNT;
/* SPEED_CHANGE data is up/down speeds in bits/sec */
data = req->buf + sizeof *event;
data[0] = cpu_to_le32(ncm_bitrate(cdev->gadget));
My analysis of registers and NULL ptr deref crash offset
(Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000000000005c)
heavily suggests that the crash is due to 'cdev->gadget' being NULL when executing:
data[0] = cpu_to_le32(ncm_bitrate(cdev->gadget));
which calls:
ncm_bitrate(NULL)
which then calls:
gadget_is_superspeed(NULL)
which reads
((struct usb_gadget *)NULL)->max_speed
and hits a panic.
AFAICT, if I'm counting right, the offset of max_speed is indeed 0x5C.
(remember there's a GKI KABI reservation of 16 bytes in struct work_struct)
It's not at all clear to me how this is all supposed to work...
but returning 0 seems much better than panic-ing...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: Fix ToCToU between perm check and set-uid/gid usage
When opening a file for exec via do_filp_open(), permission checking is
done against the file's metadata at that moment, and on success, a file
pointer is passed back. Much later in the execve() code path, the file
metadata (specifically mode, uid, and gid) is used to determine if/how
to set the uid and gid. However, those values may have changed since the
permissions check, meaning the execution may gain unintended privileges.
For example, if a file could change permissions from executable and not
set-id:
---------x 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
to set-id and non-executable:
---S------ 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
it is possible to gain root privileges when execution should have been
disallowed.
While this race condition is rare in real-world scenarios, it has been
observed (and proven exploitable) when package managers are updating
the setuid bits of installed programs. Such files start with being
world-executable but then are adjusted to be group-exec with a set-uid
bit. For example, "chmod o-x,u+s target" makes "target" executable only
by uid "root" and gid "cdrom", while also becoming setuid-root:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
becomes:
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
But racing the chmod means users without group "cdrom" membership can
get the permission to execute "target" just before the chmod, and when
the chmod finishes, the exec reaches brpm_fill_uid(), and performs the
setuid to root, violating the expressed authorization of "only cdrom
group members can setuid to root".
Re-check that we still have execute permissions in case the metadata
has changed. It would be better to keep a copy from the perm-check time,
but until we can do that refactoring, the least-bad option is to do a
full inode_permission() call (under inode lock). It is understood that
this is safe against dead-locks, but hardly optimal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: prime: fix refcount underflow
Calling nouveau_bo_ref() on a nouveau_bo without initializing it (and
hence the backing ttm_bo) leads to a refcount underflow.
Instead of calling nouveau_bo_ref() in the unwind path of
drm_gem_object_init(), clean things up manually.
