Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: validate dacloffset before building DACL pointers
parse_sec_desc(), build_sec_desc(), and the chown path in
id_mode_to_cifs_acl() all add the server-supplied dacloffset to pntsd
before proving a DACL header fits inside the returned security
descriptor.
On 32-bit builds a malicious server can return dacloffset near
U32_MAX, wrap the derived DACL pointer below end_of_acl, and then slip
past the later pointer-based bounds checks. build_sec_desc() and
id_mode_to_cifs_acl() can then dereference DACL fields from the wrapped
pointer in the chmod/chown rewrite paths.
Validate dacloffset numerically before building any DACL pointer and
reuse the same helper at the three DACL entry points.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracepoint: balance regfunc() on func_add() failure in tracepoint_add_func()
When a tracepoint goes through the 0 -> 1 transition, tracepoint_add_func()
invokes the subsystem's ext->regfunc() before attempting to install the
new probe via func_add(). If func_add() then fails (for example, when
allocate_probes() cannot allocate a new probe array under memory pressure
and returns -ENOMEM), the function returns the error without calling the
matching ext->unregfunc(), leaving the side effects of regfunc() behind
with no installed probe to justify them.
For syscall tracepoints this is particularly unpleasant: syscall_regfunc()
bumps sys_tracepoint_refcount and sets SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT on every task.
After a leaked failure, the refcount is stuck at a non-zero value with no
consumer, and every task continues paying the syscall trace entry/exit
overhead until reboot. Other subsystems providing regfunc()/unregfunc()
pairs exhibit similarly scoped persistent state.
Mirror the existing 1 -> 0 cleanup and call ext->unregfunc() in the
func_add() error path, gated on the same condition used there so the
unwind is symmetric with the registration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: fix integer overflow on buff_pos
Fixing an integer overflow present in batadv_iv_ogm_send_to_if. The size
check is done using the int type in batadv_iv_ogm_aggr_packet whereas the
buff_pos variable uses the s16 type. This could lead to an out-of-bound
read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix dma-buf attachment leak in xe_gem_prime_import()
When xe_dma_buf_init_obj() fails, the attachment from
dma_buf_dynamic_attach() is not detached. Add dma_buf_detach() before
returning the error. Note: we cannot use goto out_err here because
xe_dma_buf_init_obj() already frees bo on failure, and out_err would
double-free it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: appletb-kbd: run inactivity autodim from workqueues
The autodim code in hid-appletb-kbd takes backlight_device->ops_lock
via backlight_device_set_brightness() -> mutex_lock() from two
different atomic contexts:
* appletb_inactivity_timer() is a struct timer_list callback, so it
runs in softirq context. Every expiry triggers
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:591
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
__might_resched
__mutex_lock
backlight_device_set_brightness
appletb_inactivity_timer
call_timer_fn
run_timer_softirq
* reset_inactivity_timer() is called from appletb_kbd_hid_event() and
appletb_kbd_inp_event(). On real USB hardware these run in
softirq/IRQ context (URB completion and input-event dispatch).
When the Touch Bar has already been dimmed or turned off, the
reset path calls backlight_device_set_brightness() directly to
restore brightness, producing the same warning.
Both call sites hit the same mutex_lock()-from-atomic bug. Fix them
together by moving the blocking work onto the system workqueue:
* Convert the inactivity timer from struct timer_list to
struct delayed_work; the callback (appletb_inactivity_work) now
runs in process context where mutex_lock() is legal.
* Add a dedicated struct work_struct restore_brightness_work and have
reset_inactivity_timer() schedule it instead of calling
backlight_device_set_brightness() directly.
Cancel both works synchronously during driver tear-down alongside the
existing backlight reference drop.
The semantics are unchanged (same delays, same state transitions on
dim, turn-off and user activity); only the execution context of the
sleeping call changes. The timer field and callback are renamed to
match their new type; reset_inactivity_timer() keeps its name because
it is invoked from input event paths that read naturally as "reset
the inactivity timer".

spi: cadence-quadspi: fix unclocked access on unbind
Make sure that the controller is runtime resumed before disabling it
during driver unbind to avoid an unclocked register access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sound: ua101: fix division by zero at probe
Add a missing sanity check for bNrChannels in detect_usb_format()
to prevent a division by zero in playback_urb_complete() and
capture_urb_complete().
USB core does not validate class-specific descriptor fields such
as bNrChannels, so drivers must verify them before use. If a
device provides bNrChannels = 0, frame_bytes becomes zero and is
later used as a divisor in the URB completion handlers, leading
to a kernel crash.
