Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix btrfs_ioctl_space_info() slot_count TOCTOU which can lead to info-leak
btrfs_ioctl_space_info() has a TOCTOU race between two passes over the
block group RAID type lists. The first pass counts entries to determine
the allocation size, then the second pass fills the buffer. The
groups_sem rwlock is released between passes, allowing concurrent block
group removal to reduce the entry count.
When the second pass fills fewer entries than the first pass counted,
copy_to_user() copies the full alloc_size bytes including trailing
uninitialized kmalloc bytes to userspace.
Fix by copying only total_spaces entries (the actually-filled count from
the second pass) instead of alloc_size bytes, and switch to kzalloc so
any future copy size mismatch cannot leak heap data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix missing last_unlink_trans update when removing a directory
When removing a directory we are not updating its last_unlink_trans field,
which can result in incorrect fsync behaviour in case some one fsyncs the
directory after it was removed because it's holding a file descriptor on
it.
Example scenario:
mkdir /mnt/dir1
mkdir /mnt/dir1/dir2
mkdir /mnt/dir3
sync -f /mnt
# Do some change to the directory and fsync it.
chmod 700 /mnt/dir1
xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir1
# Move dir2 out of dir1 so that dir1 becomes empty.
mv /mnt/dir1/dir2 /mnt/dir3/
open fd on /mnt/dir1
call rmdir(2) on path "/mnt/dir1"
fsync fd
<trigger power failure>

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix divide-by-zero in setup_geo() with zero far_copies
setup_geo() extracts near_copies (nc) and far_copies (fc) from the
user-provided layout parameter without checking for zero. When fc=0
with the "improved" far set layout selected, 'geo->far_set_size =
disks / fc' triggers a divide-by-zero.
Validate nc and fc immediately after extraction, returning -1 if
either is zero.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix double free in ice_sf_eth_activate() error path
When auxiliary_device_add() fails, ice_sf_eth_activate() jumps to
aux_dev_uninit and calls auxiliary_device_uninit(&sf_dev->adev).
The device release callback ice_sf_dev_release() frees sf_dev, but
the current error path falls through to sf_dev_free and calls
kfree(sf_dev) again, causing a double free.
Keep kfree(sf_dev) for the auxiliary_device_init() failure path, but
avoid falling through to sf_dev_free after auxiliary_device_uninit().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: b43legacy: enforce bounds check on firmware key index in RX path
Same fix as b43: the firmware-controlled key index in b43legacy_rx()
can exceed dev->max_nr_keys. The existing B43legacy_WARN_ON is
non-enforcing in production builds, allowing an out-of-bounds read of
dev->key[].
Make the check enforcing by dropping the frame for invalid indices.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mana: Validate rx_hash_key_len
Sashiko points out that rx_hash_key_len comes from a uAPI structure and is
blindly passed to memcpy, allowing the userspace to trash kernel
memory. Bounds check it so the memcpy cannot overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid potential endless loop in convert_chmap_v3()
The convert_chmap_v3() has a loop with its increment size of
cs_desc->wLength, but we forgot to validate cs_desc->wLength itself,
which may lead to potential endless loop by a malformed descriptor.
Add a proper size check to abort the loop for plugging the hole.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Fix pin leak and publication ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu()
Two bugs exist in the vCPU initialisation path:
1. If a check fails after hyp_pin_shared_mem() succeeds, the cleanup
path jumps to 'unlock' without calling unpin_host_vcpu() or
unpin_host_sve_state(), permanently leaking pin references on the
host vCPU and SVE state pages.
Extract a register_hyp_vcpu() helper that performs the checks and
the store. When register_hyp_vcpu() returns an error, call
unpin_host_vcpu() and unpin_host_sve_state() inline before falling
through to the existing 'unlock' label.
2. register_hyp_vcpu() publishes the new vCPU pointer into
'hyp_vm->vcpus[]' with a bare store, allowing a concurrent caller
of pkvm_load_hyp_vcpu() to observe a partially initialised vCPU
object.
Ensure the store uses smp_store_release() and the load uses
smp_load_acquire(). While 'vm_table_lock' currently serialises the
store and the load, these barriers ensure the reader sees the fully
initialised 'hyp_vcpu' object even if there were a lockless path or
if the lock's own ordering guarantees were insufficient for nested
object initialization.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: microchip-core-qspi: control built-in cs manually
The coreQSPI IP supports only a single chip select, which is
automagically operated by the hardware - set low when the transmit
buffer first gets written to and set high when the number of bytes
written to the TOTALBYTES field of the FRAMES register have been sent on
the bus. Additional devices must use GPIOs for their chip selects.
It was reported to me that if there are two devices attached to this
QSPI controller that the in-built chip select is set low while linux
tries to access the device attached to the GPIO.
This went undetected as the boards that connected multiple devices to
the SPI controller all exclusively used GPIOs for chip selects, not
relying on the built-in chip select at all. It turns out that this was
because the built-in chip select, when controlled automagically, is set
low when active and high when inactive, thereby ruling out its use for
active-high devices or devices that need to transmit with the chip
select disabled.
Modify the driver so that it controls chip select directly, retaining
the behaviour for mem_ops of setting the chip select active for the
entire duration of the transfer in the exec_op callback. For regular
transfers, implement the set_cs callback for the core to use.
As part of this, the existing setup callback, mchp_coreqspi_setup_op(),
is removed. Modifying the CLKIDLE field is not safe to do during
operation when there are multiple devices, so this code is removed
entirely. Setting the MASTER and ENABLE fields is something that can be
done once at probe, it doesn't need to be re-run for each device.
Instead the new setup callback sets the built-in chip select to its
inactive state for active-low devices, as the reset value of the chip
select in software controlled mode is low.
