In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow
Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in
'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()'. The variable 'dma_len' in the URB packet
could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of
'seg_len' in 'mt7601u_rx_process_seg()'. This underflow subsequently
causes the 'bad_frame' checks in 'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()' to be
bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer 'p', which
is a null pointer.
Ensure that 'dma_len' is greater than 'min_seg_len'.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Avoid calling OPDESC() with ops->opnum == OP_ILLEGAL
OPDESC() simply indexes into nfsd4_ops[] by the op's operation
number, without range checking that value. It assumes callers are
careful to avoid calling it with an out-of-bounds opnum value.
nfsd4_decode_compound() is not so careful, and can invoke OPDESC()
with opnum set to OP_ILLEGAL, which is 10044 -- well beyond the end
of nfsd4_ops[].

hwmon: (xgene) Fix ioremap and memremap leak
Smatch reports:
drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c:757 xgene_hwmon_probe() warn:
'ctx->pcc_comm_addr' from ioremap() not released on line: 757.
This is because in drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c:701 xgene_hwmon_probe(),
ioremap and memremap is not released, which may cause a leak.
To fix this, ioremap and memremap is modified to devm_ioremap and
devm_memremap.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tun: Fix memory leak for detached NAPI queue.
syzkaller reported [0] memory leaks of sk and skb related to the TUN
device with no repro, but we can reproduce it easily with:
struct ifreq ifr = {}
int fd_tun, fd_tmp;
char buf[4] = {};
fd_tun = openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/net/tun", O_WRONLY, 0);
ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_TUN | IFF_NAPI | IFF_MULTI_QUEUE;
ioctl(fd_tun, TUNSETIFF, &ifr);
ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_DETACH_QUEUE;
ioctl(fd_tun, TUNSETQUEUE, &ifr);
fd_tmp = socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_PACKET, 0);
ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_UP;
ioctl(fd_tmp, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr);
write(fd_tun, buf, sizeof(buf));
close(fd_tun);
If we enable NAPI and multi-queue on a TUN device, we can put skb into
tfile->sk.sk_write_queue after the queue is detached. We should prevent
it by checking tfile->detached before queuing skb.
Note this must be done under tfile->sk.sk_write_queue.lock because write()
and ioctl(IFF_DETACH_QUEUE) can run concurrently. Otherwise, there would
be a small race window:
write() ioctl(IFF_DETACH_QUEUE)
`- tun_get_user `- __tun_detach
|- if (tfile->detached) |- tun_disable_queue
| `-> false | `- tfile->detached = tun
| `- tun_queue_purge
|- spin_lock_bh(&queue->lock)
`- __skb_queue_tail(queue, skb)
Another solution is to call tun_queue_purge() when closing and
reattaching the detached queue, but it could paper over another
problems. Also, we do the same kind of test for IFF_NAPI_FRAGS.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't dereference ACPI root object handle
Since the commit referenced in the Fixes: tag below the VMBus client driver
is walking the ACPI namespace up from the VMBus ACPI device to the ACPI
namespace root object trying to find Hyper-V MMIO ranges.
However, if it is not able to find them it ends trying to walk resources of
the ACPI namespace root object itself.
This object has all-ones handle, which causes a NULL pointer dereference
in the ACPI code (from dereferencing this pointer with an offset).
This in turn causes an oops on boot with VMBus host implementations that do
not provide Hyper-V MMIO ranges in their VMBus ACPI device or its
ancestors.
The QEMU VMBus implementation is an example of such implementation.
I guess providing these ranges is optional, since all tested Windows
versions seem to be able to use VMBus devices without them.
Fix this by explicitly terminating the lookup at the ACPI namespace root
object.
Note that Linux guests under KVM/QEMU do not use the Hyper-V PV interface
by default - they only do so if the KVM PV interface is missing or
disabled.

netfilter: conntrack: fix wrong ct->timeout value
(struct nf_conn)->timeout is an interval before the conntrack
confirmed. After confirmed, it becomes a timestamp.
It is observed that timeout of an unconfirmed conntrack:
- Set by calling ctnetlink_change_timeout(). As a result,
`nfct_time_stamp` was wrongly added to `ct->timeout` twice.
- Get by calling ctnetlink_dump_timeout(). As a result,
`nfct_time_stamp` was wrongly subtracted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_fq: fix integer overflow of "credit"
if sch_fq is configured with "initial quantum" having values greater than
INT_MAX, the first assignment of "credit" does signed integer overflow to
a very negative value.
In this situation, the syzkaller script provided by Cristoph triggers the
CPU soft-lockup warning even with few sockets. It's not an infinite loop,
but "credit" wasn't probably meant to be minus 2Gb for each new flow.
Capping "initial quantum" to INT_MAX proved to fix the issue.
v2: validation of "initial quantum" is done in fq_policy, instead of open
coding in fq_change() _ suggested by Jakub Kicinski
